It's pretty easy.
Are you running on Gingerbread or Froyo?
1 .If you are running on Froyo you must flash Gingerbread with a program called Odin, you can find detailed instructions by searching "How to flash Gingerbread on galaxy mini" on google.
2. After you have flashed it you need to flash CWM ( Clockwork Mod Recovery ), also via Odin.
It can be found it the Android Development Section.
3. After you have Gingerbread running and working recovery you must download the CM 7 zip file. You should try squadzone's CM 7.2 RC 5.6 which is very stable and almost bug free.
After you finish download, you should do a backup of your contacts and memory card.
If you have backed up all your important data you mustdo the following:
-Turn off your phone.
-Press the menu button and then the power button. Note: You must keep the menu button pressed a few seconds.
-CWM should show up.
-Use the volume rockers to navigate up and down and menu button for ok.
-Wipe Data / Factory reset.
-Wipe Cache Partition.
-Install zip from sdcard.
-Choose zip.
-Flash the zip file that you have downloaded and copied to sdcard.
Flashing will take a few minutes.
-After it's complete choose reboot system now.
-The first boot will take a while to complete so don't worry.
And that's it now you should be running on CM 7 !

IMO, its better to flash official CM7.2 stable, although there is nothing wrong with Squadzone's roms.
Why dont you use searchbar ???

When I hold the power button, I don't see any 'Recovery' option (The only options are 'Silent mode', 'Data network mode', 'Flight mode', 'Power off' and 'Restart'). What am I missing/doing wrong..?
Many thanks to anyone who can help.
PS. Apologies for posting this in the Q&A section. I'm relatively new so can't yet make a post in the relevant development thread.
only custom ROM users get the APM (advanced power menu)
you will have to do it manually, Power off the phone and hold volume UP + Home + Power all at once
let go when you see the GT-N7000 screen

Thankyou VERY much. I did it, but haven't tried the rooting procedure yet. In the recovery menu, I saw a message about CSC being successfully applied. What does this mean...?
not sure what CSC stands for but it happens to us all, Dont worry about it, Its a good thing that it was applied successfully
Csc is country sales code. And yes as azzledazzle said, its normal to see that message.

All went well (or so I thought) but I have 2 problems:-
I don't think I'm properly or fully rooted. After following the above steps, I installed Mobile Odin Pro (v2.45) and attempted to flash CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip. I extracted the tar file, placed it on the external SD card and ran it using Mobile Odin Pro. However, upon rebooting, I see that my baseband, kernel version, build no. etc. are still showing exactly the same info in the 'About phone' section under Settings, ie.
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband Version
N70000XXLPT
Kernel Version
3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927
[email protected] #3
Build Number
IML74K.XXLQ2
Is this normal or have I missed an important step? I saw on another thread that perhaps I should have extracted both the tar and zimage files from the CFRoot zip, and then flashed? If so, could someone kindly tell me exactly what to do. For info, SU seems to have installed ok and has granted the necessary permissions to CWM and Mobile Odin Pro as root apps but I can't get into or use either app. What am I missing or doing wrong?
After rebooting, I can no longer use Mobile Odin Pro so cannot attempt a proper flash of whatever kernel I should be using. I can mostly now not get past the 'Loading...Checking SuperUser support...' splash screen. During this period, I see a pop-up which confirms the app has been 'granted SuperUser permissions for an interactive shell'; this pop-up usually appears several times during this loading period. Very occassionally, it gets past the Loading screen but then stays for an equally lengthy time at the next 'Loading...Detecting device model...' screen. If it gets past that, it then fails to detect any device model so I cannot use the app. What am I doing wrong? I've tried rebooting several times - no joy. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app - again, no joy.
If anyone can help me out of my rooting misery, I'd be really grateful.
One more thing - I'm not completely clear how I revert to/reinstall a stock ICS ROM once I am properly rooted or from where the phone is now? Can someone please just clarify this for me.
Apologies for the long post - just wanted to give as much information as possible.
Many thanks to all who can help
im not so sure but when you installed cwm and buzybox you did so to flash a custom rom
if you flash a custom rom you will keep the phone root and so on (supersu ecc...)
else you loose partially the root and you need to reflash the apps you lost on rebbot
so choose good cutom ics and go for it
you might try cssie xlite....180 mega
or Rocket Rom 7 700 mg
both work well
p.s. never full wipe or factory reset on ics cfroot kernell....
just do t with abyss kernel 4.2 if you need it and read about eemmmc bug crack
p.s.2 look for drkeatan posts and chasmodo....they made good walkthrough pro

Thanks for the reply. I only rooted in order to use certain root apps (Root Explorer, Titanium Backup etc) and was under the impression that the CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip was basically a slightly modified stock ICS ROM with CWM included..?

The way I've always rooted is to run the adb script on a gb from, can be found in dr K's post. You need to be rooted before you can flash cwm kernel, 2 separate processes (although combined in some scripts.
There is also a thread somewhere with pre-rooted stock roms, so you could flash one of those as normal with PC Odin and then flash cwm kernel. Might be easier.

Hi,
I was redirected to this part of the forum. A friend of mine rooted my samsung mobile Galaxy S I9000 with a android 2.2 version. I cannot contact him anymore to help me with the update and I am really a newbie in this rooting world. So, I am coming on this forum to have some advice. I read information on rooting your device, in which everything is explained very well, but could not find information on how to update once a device was rooted (probably I did not search in the right place). What I did so far is:
1) Taking backup of my pics (by manually drag and drop the folder on my pc), SMS and call logs (with sms backup + app), syncronized my contacts with gmail so that I can recover them later on and backup the music folder. I installed backup Titanium to back up my apps on my SD card.
But now, I am stuck with some questions (could you guide me where to find the information?):
1) Which most recent version of Android is supported on the device I have? Which version will work best?
2) Is there important information that I forgot to back up? + I have a problem with the backup Titanium app. It could reach my root in the beginning, but then the Superuser app updated the binary and from then on my titanium app got stuck when getting access to the root. Any idea how to solve this? Install an older version of the bin.file? How to do that exactly? thanks! => I could fix this problem by installing an older version of superuser in CW recovery. If others have problems with this issue, I can provide help from now on
3) Is there a guide with step by step procedure on which files I have to download on my pc and which procedure to follow? Or could you advice me some useful links?
thanks!
1) there is android 4.2.2 available for this amazing device
2) you propably forgot to backup efs folder
3)
- 1) follow this guide to get android 2.3.6 to your device: http://www.darkyrom.com/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
- 2) follow this guide to get android 4.2.2 (cm 10.1) to your device after: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
- 3) now you can flash most of the roms you find in i9000 android development forum. i personally use slimrom
copy /efs! backup ur imei n md5 in efs first! copy da whole efs file! or do nandroid backup.
READ N FOLLOW CAREFULLY here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149455
considering u already done flashing Sammy n CF
prepare for ROM & kernel(optional) hunt! go to dev section and choose which JB u wanted.download it together with cm9.1.0 n copy to root of internal sd.
n make sure to flash cm9.1.0 stable from cyanogenmod website (galaxymtd) first from 2.3.6, first flash will bootloop, go back to recovery with 3 combo button. flash again n dont leave recovery.
after done flashing twice (if flash ended too quick, then flash again). direct flash 4.1/4.2 chosen rom, twice (first flash will come up with error, juz ignore it flash again (bootloop) recovery again n flash again

I followed the guide you mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2149455
in which they install that JVU ROM... then they say at the end that you have to unmount SD card (but that option was gray in my case) and wipe the USB storage and then reboot in recovery and do those 4 wipes, what I did, and then he mentioned that you could install your custom ROM, so I put the version of slimrom 4.2.2 on my sd card and launched it for installation.
However, the procedure started, but after a few seconds already my phone rebooted and now it is stuck at the logo of Semaphore...
What did I wrong? And what should I do?

Should I shut down my phone and try to put it in download mode again to put the JVU rom on it again via odin? is that the best strategy? Or should I do something else? and if that would work, what is then the best procedure to avoid such situations again?
nope, u did rite, but also wrong, ok, read carefully here....
flashing for upgrade is easy if u follow carefully, when in GB, after flashing CF ROOT, flashing to 4.0 (cm9) first (take da zip from cyanogenmod website) but luckily ur on 2.3.6 JVU (if u follow da link i gave), so it will be safe (safe procedure will be GB-ICS-JB), first flash will bootloop, second flash (sometimes) will occur error n third flash will succeed, which means u hav to flash twice or thrice or maybe 4 times! if its bootloop, go to recovery back by 3 button combo (its da matter of when u release da combo button, release it rite after u see da first white bootsplash)
bootloop cause by changing da partition tp ext4, its common
but if u already try to reach recovery n failed most times, u need to flash back firmware n cf root.

Ok, thanks!!!! this worked!!! I justed flashed cm9 and it works. So, if I understand well now, I can just return in recovery mode and install from zip from sd card to cm10 and then for instance to slimrom? Or between 'two' flashes, I need to follow the last part of the procedure in the link you gave me? So:
"Now, what I do now is go into :
Settings > SD Card and Storage > Unmount SD and Wipe that and then at the bottom Wipe Format USB Storage
Enable USB Debugging > Plug in Phone
Window should open up showing your phone Directory..
Copy over your ROM that you want
Shut Down Phone
Reboot into Recovery (Vol UP - Menu - Power)
Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)
Data / Factory Reset
Cache Partition
Go to Advanced > OK
Dalvik Cache
Battery Stats
Go Back > OK
To move Up or Down > Use the Left Side Volume Rocker Switches with Menu to OK Action
Install your Custom ROM from Zip Card that you want..."
OR: can I just go to recovery mode and do install from zip without doing that procedure with "wipe" etc?
Just to know, as I am just a newbie in these things!!! But I want to thank you once again for the clear explanations and the good help!!!!
juz flash mate , its easy, da important thing is to follow da sequence, thats all, juz flash, wiping cache or resetting juz for changing ROM. not upgrading
juz FLASH it
GB-ICS (twice)(do not leave recovery after second flash)-(any custom JB ROM u choose(twice or thrice))(make sure u already put da zip file in internalsd). dont need any wiping.
but FLASH AT UR OWN RISK,remember that.

Thanks!!!! Just one small question. I just flashed CM10 in recovery mode and first flash gave error, second went well. Then while still being in recovery mode I directly flashed slimrom and that went well from the first time. Do you always flash a second time to make sure that things went well or this is ok then?

as i already said, flash more than 2 times when upgrading, juz upgrading process. GB-ICS-JB (CM7-CM9-CM10/10.1) is upgrading process.
changing ROM not necessarily need double flashing, but u can do it if ur not satisfy whether da ROM already flashed or not

Hmmm, is probably because I get this error when starting slimrom: invalid IMEI number...I flashed it a second time, but it gave me the same error...
Which gapps have you flashed? Slimbean needs a special package, you find it under slimroms.net.

I will have a look there for that google play problem.
More problematic is that problem of IMEI. When I flashed from CM 9 to CM10 I did not do that wipe of cache and data as suggested above (the reply came later on), and then I flashed slimrom. That I forgot to wipe between CM9 and CM10, can that be the cause of wrong IMEI now? Is the solution now, to wipe cache and data, to flash again CM 10 and to flash then slimrom again?
Or should I just leave everything like that and do a recovery of my efs folder? If yes, any link for this?
Hello all
I have successfully rooted my S3 lte and want to install cyanogen on it as this was on my last phone, smashed screen.
Have read what seems like a whole ton of threads and various links here there and every where and am now so completely confused.
is there an older mod that is not very risky to install?
have rooted per This post / thread and the phone is still running. So far so good.
I just need a link to instructions to install the cynogen files to stop my brain hurting.
many thanks

CM is only running nightly builds, ParanoidAndroid is a little more stable IMO at the moment. ParanoidAndroid 3.97
1. Download this PA 3.97 ROM
2. Download GAPPS too GAPPS 4.3
3. Check your version of CWM recovery, You'll be able to check by booting into recovery ( Turn Power off then Hold power + menu + Vol Up until phone boots then leave go of power button)
Check your version in the top left. 6.0.3.3 is the latest i think.
If your version is lower then download this Zip File and copy it to your SDcard, boot back into recovery like you did to check your version, hit install in CWM and navigate to the zip you just copied, viola you'll have updated your version of CWM recovery.
4.Once back on your phone, copy the first two files you downloaded onto your SDCard.
5.Restart your phone back into recovery mode, do a factory reset and wipe the Cache/Dalvik, i cant remember where these options are located as i use TWRP recovery. But they are there so you'll find em.
6.As before located the files and install the ROM file first then the GAPPS file.
7.Restart phone, you should be sorted and everything should work just fine.
Finally, if you want to use a different Kernal i reccoemmend Yank555 but you must sign up to his forum in order to access it, Yank555 Forum

If I choose cancel the phone re-bots and all works fine.
If I choose continue then I get the Android logo? saying downloading.. Do not turn off target
Top left screen is five lines reading in order
Odin Mode
Product name: GT-I9305
Custom Binary D/load: Yes (1 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
not sure what it's downloading (not connected to PC) and If I pull battery out and re-start normally then all is ok.

What am I correcting? Is it the file for the PDA line? CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar.md5
I've re-done this but I still do not get re-boot options. It goes back to the "Downloading don't turn off screen. The only difference now is the Binary d/load count now read 3.
If I go into *#7284# and select the settings at bottom, which one does it need to be on? I changed to the bottom setting to root and then changed back to the 2nd option once finished.
Trying to post a screen shot of odin but not allowed as new user.

:good:
got a new screen now with a list of options:
Android system recovery (3e)
reboot system
apply update from ADB
apply update from ext storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Why not read the basic faqs and guides or are you trying to brick your phone ???
You have stock recovery you require CWM recovery to flash custom roms .

Right so its rooted without touching the stock recovery, ok.
To flash a new recovery you must connect your phone to odin how you did before and apply a recovery, search on here for "installing a recovery" or google "install recovery on galaxy s3 using odin" it doesnt matter on the model for the process of instructions just make sure you USE THE ZIP i linked you too in my first post. the CWM version 6.0.3.3 zip.

All done now thanks. Could have saved a lot of this if I'd managed to read your first post correctly about the UP volume key and not down.
Just need to experiment with the various themes now.
Thanks

IMPORTANT! This is NOT my work, all credits to the Genius chenxiaolong who made this available for all Galaxy S4 Variants
See original Thread [PATCHER][APP] Dual boot any ROM on all Galaxy S4 variants!
The Story:
I don´t like Touchwiz very much but for some Reasons I always have to come back to it. Maybe the Camera, sometimes the Allshare Features for Smart TV...Everybody has his Reasons to use/need it sometimes...
Untill today, I had to backup/restore between Sammy and Cyanogenmod a lot, It bugged me but I thought there is no choice till I found this Thread. First, I was a little afraid because there is a lot of Information in the OP and some stuff to do but then I thought, what may happen? Bootloop, Odin, Hard-brick,naaah, what´s Life without a little risk?
So I tried and it works !
If you want to do what I did, just follow these (very easy) Instructions.
Think about what your doing. This is your very own Device with your very own contract so please proceed at your very own risk! I have tested this exactly the way it is written down here and it worked. So if something goes wrong on your Device, don´t blame me or the Developer of this fantastic App!!
...Make sure your an owner of the international Samsung Galaxy S4 Active (i9295) (if not, tell me what happened )
...If your on a stock Sammy Rom, make sure that you are rooted and have a custom recovery installed...
...Also, you will need to delete some System Apps to free Space for secondary Rom but please don´t ask me which. There is enough Bloatware inside but a good start for me always is "HRS Hotels", "Google Maps/Mail/Plus" and so on...
1. Download the 3 Files from chenxiaolong´s Thread (not linked but you will find it...remember, this is NOT my work!)
- Dualboot Patcher
- Dualboot Switcher App
- Dualbootutility.zip
2. Download the custom Rom of your choice. In my case, I used
cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx.zip
and official Gapps
3. Install the Dualboot Patcher and run it on your Device
4. Follow its Instructions to patch your custom Rom and, if needed, also the Gapps
5. Install the Dualboot Switcher App and run it
6. Set current Kernel as "Primary ROM´s Kernel"
7. Reboot into recovery
8. Flash your patched Rom File(s)
9. Reboot (the Device will NOW boot into secondary Rom!)
10. Install Dualboot Switcher App in 2nd Rom
11. Now you can choose between primary and secondary Rom to boot
12. Done
Please press THANKS in original Thread and, if you can, donate some to chenxiaolong because this is awesome!!!
Easy, isn´t it? Yes, it is. It is exactly what I was looking for because now I can use both worlds, the beautiful and the beast
English wasn´t my Mother´s language so please excuse me for mistakes you surely will find
Greetings
Thomas
I have uploaded patched Gapps and a patched Cyanogenmod Rom here. Feel free to use
cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx_dualboot.zip
and

At what point to flash the 2nd ROM?
Hi,
To me the instructions are not very clear. At what point do I install/flash the 2nd rom. For example if my current ROM is CM10.2, how do I get a second rom (sammy) onto the phone?
Can you be a bit more precise on the steps?
Thank you very much

Hey,
if you want to flash a Sammy Rom as 2nd Rom you need to have it as a flashable zip File (you will find them here in this Forum)
This should be the 2nd step in OP then, so just continue with the list
But don´t forget to delete some Files from /system of the Stock Rom to have enough Space for both Rom inside the /system Folder of your Device.
I hope that helped ?

But i won't find a flashable zip of latest I9295XXUBML3 stock firmware in here? or can i make it myself (with Aroma)?
@d8389 posted mk3 here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45757227) and there are no big changes in ml3 I think.
But, why not flash Sammy as primary with Odin, makes things way easier

Sorry for not understanding:
I would love to do precisely that, but that way i will loose root and have to re-install CMW-recovery won't I?
I will try to figure out the steps to take:
1. Reboot into CWM and install DualBootUtilities
2 .Set CM10.2 somehow as Secondary ROM?
3. Flash your already patched CM10.2 ROM and GAPPS on 2nd ROM
4. Somehow set 1st ROM active and connect in Download-mode to ODin and Flash I9295XXUBML3.tar.md5 ?
Going in the right direction ??

Let's say you've set up a Sammy Rom completely including root and cwm recovery. The normal way as usual.
If you downloaded the already patched Files, place them somewhere you can find em.
Now, install and start the "Dualboot Switcher" app and set first Rom as primary.
Boot into Recovery.
Install the patched Files the normal way.
Reboot, phone will boot into second Rom now by default.
Once, second Rom has booted, install and run the "Dualboot Switcher" app again. Inside the App you can now choose which Rom to boot, then push reboot Button inside the App.
Done
I hope that helped but feel free to ask!

Thanks again for helping me/us...great!
Started with:
Rooted S4Active with cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx, gapps-jb-20130813-signed and CWM installed.
1. Installed SwitcherApp in CM10.2
2. Reboot into recovery and flashed cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx_dualboot and gapps-jb-20130813-signed_dualboot
- as you stated it reboots into 1st ROM and makes CM10.2 2nd
3. Rebooted into Download Mode
3. Used Odin 3.09 to install I9295XXUBML3_I9295PHNBML2_I9295XXUBML3_HOME.tar.md5
4. Rebooting now.... :fingers-crossed: I think it did not work. Looking at the Samsung glowing logo for some time now.
* This way i dit not remove files from /system so that could be the problem?

No, this way Odin will flash Sammy Rom and everything will be gone.
Now, after you flashed Sammy successfully, flash cwm recovery, root, delete some bloat and then (!) work down the list in OP
Then it will work. Without offense, you need to read more careful

LOL i think that won't work cause i put it on my Ext-SD so i first have to install the right CWM to access my Nandroid
But i will be fine, serious
I am just waiting for my apps to re-install...so i wondered...when i have 2 roms/dualboot, will the Samsung Update show me an update in the stock rom? So, like kitkat is coming next month? #ProbablyNot
Well... Back to single boot CM10.2 for now...
Didn't work out for me but I'll be back for a 2nd attempt soon.
Meanwhile: SammyStock won't update in dual boot setup (obvious)
Had to disable Knox along the way to be able to install some apps that required root privileges.

Before getting in the same mess as before:Using Nandroid restore will destroy the dualboot setup?
So titaniumbackup-restore is the way to go?
I am preparing a flasable zip of the latset firmware but i am not 100% sure it is working (still have some reading to do :laugh
Please correct me if i am wrong:
Stock-SammyROM (latest firmware: I9295XXUBML3_I9295PHNBML2_I9295XXUBML3_HOME )
1. Root with Odin
2. CWM-recovery with Odin
3. Enable Developer-mode
4. Disable Knox
5. Enable USB-debugging
6. Enable 'Install unverfied apps' and disable Google unverified app install warning
7. (can't find ADB-settings in this ROM?)
8. Install Dual Boot Switcher app
9. Set kernel 1st ROM as primary kernel
10. Remove some bloatware
11. Reboot into recovery and flash patched zip files (CM10.2 + GAPPS)
12. Reboot and install Dual Boot Switcher app in 2nd ROM
13. Install Titanium backup and restore apps+app-data

Yes, you are very close
I´d do it this way :
After a fresh install of your Sammy Stock Rom, let it set up. Then, turn of Device and restart into Download Mode
1. Root with Odin Flash this recovery with Odin
2. CWM-recovery with Odin After flash, Device will reboot, press Vol Up + Home, it will go into recovery
2a. Flash this from Recovery
2b. Reboot Device and Click on the SU App. Let it do it´s job (it will install stuff and disable KNOX)
3. Enable Developer-mode not needed
4. Disable Knox is done by SU App
5. Enable USB-debugging not needed
6. Enable 'Install unverfied apps' and disable Google unverified app install warning
7. (can't find ADB-settings in this ROM?) not there in stock and not needed
8. Install Dual Boot Switcher app
9. Set kernel 1st ROM as primary kernel
10. Remove some bloatware
10a. Apps like Google+, Maps, Samsung Bloat are good candidates for this as they are downloadable from store later or not needed at all
11. Reboot into recovery and flash patched zip files (CM10.2 + GAPPS)
12. Reboot and install Dual Boot Switcher app in 2nd ROM
13. Install Titanium backup and restore apps+app-data
Yes, there should be no Problems with TB even tho you´ll get warnings about SU. It works.
Good luck
