[Q] trying to root LA version - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello peopple im trying to root my i8190l but i cant found anything here, did some one can tellme how to do it?
my specs are
PDA: I8190LUBALK1
PHONE: I8190LUBALK1
CSC: I8190LUBALK2 (TCE)

I also have the I8190L version and I'm not sure if I should be able to use the root guides for the other (European) version of the phone. I don't know if there are any hardware differences between the I8190 and I8190L versions. I'm from Mexico and these are my specs:
AP/CP: I8190LUBALJ7
CSC: I8190LTCEALJ2
Baseband: I8190LUBALJ7
Kernel: 3.0.31-466506
Build: JRO03H
Could anyone please clarify if I can install the XALL2 firmwares (there are 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 versions).
Thanks.

Go to development section, plenty of recent ROM's that are now rooted.

yeah, I also have the L version and it should be no problem

Yes, but they say they are for the I8190 version, so I'm not sure if it'll work with the I8190L version, that's what I want to know.
EDIT: Well the person above me answered at the same time I posted this. Thx for clarifying.

Have you flashed any of those ROMs? Do you still have 3G connectivity? I'm wondering because the baseband is different with the rooted ROMs.

What's the difference between I8190 & L version then, can u explain.

I'm not very sure, I'm guessing that the L version is for Latin America but I don't know what that implies, whether it has some hardware differences or something.

I know some people have NFC on there phones, maybe that's the difference.

I still can't post on the developer forums so I think I'll share my experience here for now. Sorry for the long post but it was a very weird experience.
I downloaded the 4.1.2 rooted rom (JZO54K.I8190DXALL3_4.1.2 from the Android Development Thread), put my S3 Mini in download mode and opened Odin. Odin saw the device so I tried to flash the rom. Odin hanged at "setting connection" for a little while and then it failed. Since Odin didn't write anything (or so I think) I just tried to reboot my phone but it wouldn't boot, both the Menu and Return buttons flashed like 3 times and Galaxy SIII Mini was displayed on the screen but then the screen went black again. I went back into download mode and my binary count was increased and it said I had a custom rom. I tried flashing the rom again and even the XXALL2 rom from avicohh but Odin would always fail and my binary counter kept increasing. Since Odin could still see the phone I thought there was still a chance to save it, I just didn't know how.
With my phone still plugged in I opened Kies (Odin was now closed) to see if it detected the device in download mode, which it didn't. I rebooted the phone once again and it appeared in Kies but it said the phone was locked (I have a PIN). I tried to turn the screen on but nothing happened, the weird thing is that I slid my finger across the screen and I could hear the unlock sound. So I pressed the On button two more times and the screen came on, my phone fully booted and everything working correctly. I don't know how or why.
I rebooted my phone once again and it booted up correctly, although after the screen showing "Galaxy SIII Mini" a boot up animation from my carrier should appear, but it doesn't, the screen just stays black but after a few seconds I can turn on the screen and use the phone. I haven't gone into download mode again but I'm guessing my binary counter is still at 3 or 4...
At this point I don't know if this means that those ROMs aren't compatible with the L version or if Odin is having problems due to Kies. I did check my task manager and closed everything that said Kies before opening Odin, I even rebooted my laptop and changed usb ports but nothing helped me. I'd like to uninstall Kies and try again but I'd feel more confident if I had a stock version of my ROM, which I don't and I can't currently find it online, so maybe I'll wait for that. In the mean time if anyone can help me to reset the binary counter or something I'd appreciate it.

Don't use Kies with Odin they don't get on, always exit Kies before flashing firmware, don't know why u get custom binary count.

I did exit Kies, I even rebooted and made sure Kies was closed before opening Odin, I'm not sure what happened.

Download SamMobile from playstore, I remember seeing firmware 4 your i8190L about a week ago.Keep looking on there.
Also your problem could be something to do with phone carrier. Maybe you should get your phone simfree then install any rooted ROM from this forum.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium

There are some firmwares for the L version there, but none of them are from Mexico, does that make a lot of difference or it only changes things like APN settings?

Have another look on here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1967824 and hover over the 3 letters too see if there's firmware nearest to your country region.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium

Thanks for the help, I had also looked on that thread but there are no firmwares from Mexico. I'm not in a hurry though, I guess I can wait until someone uploads it. What I'd really like to know is whether my problem was related to Odin or if the ROMs were incompatible, but I can't ask in the developer thread yet.

You done everything right, so I think you need carrier compatible firmware. If u were sim free you wouldn't have these problems I think. Try other firmware closer to Mexico, maybe that will help you.

Well that doesn't sound good. I haven't tried flashing since I can't download right now on my work computer but will try tonight or tomorrow. The L in our phones is basically to differentiate the versions and it should not be a problem. I remember that for the S1 the LA variant was a I900 T and on that one the only difference was the bootloaders which caused a problem when flashing but was an easy fix. I'll upate as soon as I can try and flash. Remember flashing on odin is a tricky thing, everything has to be on it's place and sometimes it just has to be done a couple of times for it to work right.

I always use ODIN 3.07 never had any problems with it yet.

are you 100% sure you own a P1000 and not a P1000N or P1000L ?
was the Odin flash 100% successful
The symptom is exactly like a N/L version flashed with a P1000 firmware.
Edit: when you say flash light, it is the capacitive buttons or really the LED flash light near the rear camera?

Not sure how to check, the back of the device didn't say so? You need to find the right firmware, it is available on sammobiles website.
Hey, you said you remove the battery and charged it with desktop charger?
What kind of charger is that?

The original is rated 2A.
Maybe you should charge your longer, 8hr or more, then try Odin again.
BTW, if L/N device flashed with P1000 you can still use its recovery.
So if Odin can detect, reflash the GB stock safe, make sure it is completed.
Then flash overcome kernel,
Then use its cwm recovery to flash cm for p1n.
You sure back bottom no marking?
Mine is T849 and it says so there.

Restock gb-v5 first using odin or heimdall. Try installing cm10.1 or cm10.2 rom instead.

[Q] accidently bricked SGS using Odin

Hey Guys,
I hope this is not a complete repost
I have a samsung Galaxy s i9000 and i installed a custom gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM yesterday, all worked fine, but was unable to receive phone calls so i tried reflashing my phone to see maybe it was installed incorrectly.
Im not able to get into recovery mode but i am able to get into download mode.
So i installed Odin, and a .pit file that someone recommended. earlier i downloaded a .tar file that was compatible with my phone.
Everything went fine and it said it was successful, but im now stuck on a black screen with nothing but download mode.
My question to you is:
What files do i need to download inorder to get it to boot, and then allow me to flash to a gingerbread version on android.
I have a 512.pit file, i just need all the other odds and ends like a PDA, phone, CSC files.
Please please help me.
Thanks you for your time.

[Q] Total Failure Installing ANY type of ROM

Originally, I started with just wanting to update the firmware on my phone because I read updating it to a newer version fixes the dreadful "low memory" bug, where the phone constantly thinks it has no internal memory left despite having plenty.
I tried updating the phone with Kies - says unsupported for updates. Tried updating the CSC, still couldn't get updates.
Then I thought, I always wanted to mod the phone but didn't have the time. I sat down to do it today, spent HOURS and HOURS on here following the guides and reading and I can't seem to get anywhere. Any ROM gives me a Status 7 failure when I try flash it and I notice that CWM doesn't boot up (just the default Android one). I can't even seem to get my phone to go into download mode for use Odin and put a new stock rom on it. And yes, I rooted the phone, deleted all the caches and data, tried unrooting it...nothing.
I read that maybe it's because I have a Koodo Samsung Galaxy Ace...and that it has a different ROM that can't be meddled with. I mean, the update software option under the Settings is even greyed out. It's hard for me to even follow the youtube guides when my phone isn't responding like the ones in the videos.
I'm literally going nuts. I've tried everything. Someone please help me.

You aren't able to boot in to downloading mode. So flashing stock via odin isn't possible that easily. You'll have to try Jtag or oneclickunbrick. But before that, are you atleast able to boot into recovery ? What version of cwm are you using ?

I actually managed to get the phone to go into Download mode this morning. I have Odin v. 3 on my computer, and right now I'm trying to flash CWM onto the phone. It keeps saying Setup Connection... for a long time then fails. I reinstalled my drivers... and the computer recognizes my phone.
I installed CMW through the google play app..I had the latest version (6) and tried using 5.2. The phone keeps booting back into Android recovery manager instead, even when I ask it to install a rom through the app.

It says in my phone (behind battery) the phone model is GTS5830D. Is this somehow different from any other GTS5830? People are saying to flash it with 2.3.6 firmware first, but the thing is, I can't flash it with anything. Everything I've tried to flash gives the Status 7 failure message.

Yes... S5830D does differ from S5830. In what way...? It doesn't matter now. Just go to the samsung service center & they'll fix it for you. But play dumb. Don't talk about roms, rooting, etc. Just say that it happened while updating via kies...
I used to have beautiful life before. Now I'm in engineering...!
Yeah, everything is pointing to this being impossible. It's not even a C/M/i model, just D which seems to have nothing behind it.
Guess that's why Koodo phones in Canada are so dirt cheap - some kind of weird, low-end international version of the regular phone. There isn't even updates on Kies for this model. The original ROM is still on the phone, so it works fine...but I know after a short time it will start getting really laggy and get the same 'low memory' message. I was hoping to improve the phone.
Odd. Mine is the 5830D and I had no problem rooting and flashing. I'm on my second custom ROM (maybe 3rd can't remember) .

Which roms did you use? Can you give me some links...
Hopefully someone with some insight on this Status 7 error shows up because I'm finding nothing useful on the forum or in google.
Update: I got CWM 5.2 to work, but I had to use the one for the 5830i model. Still get the installation errors though.
I have used Apocolypse and am currently on Democracy. The link for Democracy is normally in my signature, but since I'm on my cell I will have to see if I can find it. Both are excellent roms. I used unlock root to root mine, its pretty easy to use.

I'm with Koodo, have a straight old S5830. Bought it from them at the kiosk in my local mall. Currently running CM9.1 RC4.1 by Wayland_ACE. How were you flashing your stuff before you had issues? Via recovery or Odin?
How did you install CWM? I hope you flashed it from recovery.
DON'T TOUCH ROM MANAGER.
UPDATE: I'm sorry, I do have the GT-S5830D from Koodo. My ROM is for the S5830 though. It works fine.

Lolno. The d,l,m,b are similar because they are just nationality variants. i is an entirely different model. Nothing for the S5830i works with the S5830 properly. There is a reason that it has separate threads from the other variants.

What did you try to download and do you have a custom recovery installed, twrp or cwm? With whatever recovery you have try doing a factory reset and wipes.

Thanks for answering...
I believe I was trying to download a new CWM with odin. I'm not sure how to use a factory reset and wipes as I can't use anything on the GT, as it is stuck. As this point I am hoping that the new IC firmware will be available through Kies.
I can still use Odin from the PC through Kies, though.
Thanks again!

Does Odin recognize your device? If so you can flash the stock rom from sammobile.com. You need to extract the .tar.md5 file from the zip. Use 7-zip to do that

Again, thanks for responding...
At this point I'm afraid of "Bricking it" before I can have a chance to update the firmware to IC. Hopefully that will be soon.
I really don't know what I am doing, and I have already screwed it up. The GT Honey Comb is working fine, but I can't do anything to upgrade it, internally, as everything is stuck within the GT!
At one point I was trying to upgrade to Jelly Bean, but now I'm just hoping to just get IC. If I can get the IC downloaded through Kies, I'm thinking that the new firmware upgrade using Kies will take care of things. What do you think?
I guess I can live without Jelly Bean.
But I'm willing to give something else a try, however, I would need detailed, step-by-step "For Dummies" directions on what I should do; and as kind as you are, I wouldn't want to ask you to do that?
Kind regards,

Hi. Don't be scared of losing your device. Will try to walked you thru the process.. just to be more clearer. Can you write down all your device info such as current firmware that u r using? And also do tell us the region ( im XME -Malaysia) because sometimes not all the stock rom can be use to upgrade..
You may need :-
1- kies(for drivers)
2- cables
3- charge your tab to 80%
4- windows/os of ur pc or Mac
After you post all of the info. I or we will try our best to walk you thru the process

Okay, here we go... let's shoot for Jelly Bean!
Model number: GT-p7300, that has wifi with G3, European Version, as I work with the US military at RAF Lakenheath, England, and bought it locally. I am in the London world-time zone. Five hours earlier than EST.
Android version: 3.2
Baseband version: P7300xxkj6
Kernel version: 2.6.36.3 (Original when I bought it, however i did root it) [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 23 13:54:01 KST 2011
Build number: HTJ85B P7300XWKL4
I'm using a PC HP Pavilion with Windows 7 with Odin 3v1.85 that does turn yellow when used.
The Kies on my GT works, but the Kies on my PC for some reason doesn't recognize the GT. I believe the Kies drivers are loaded, ok.
I am using the original Samsonite Cable.
Now you know more about me than my wife does...
Thanks,
Golf Educator :fingers-crossed:
Sorry for all the questions, but it's hard to diagnose all the problems from a distance. It sounds like when you tried to flash cwm something messed up the tab. But if it still turns on you can probably get it to work again. Kies is a crapy program so I always use Odin. When you plug the tab into Odin does the com in Odin turn yellow and show the port?

No problem with the questions... appreciate you taking time to help!
I use Odin 3v1.85 with the correct Samsonite cable. It does turn yellow. I don't know if it shows the port. I haven't toyed with it again as I didn't want to lose the use of the GT to be able to update the new IC firmware that is on the way for this GT-P7300 with wifi and G3, European model.

Ok, that's good, Odin is working and now we can get you up and running. Let's try on thing first, can you to recovery mode? Hold the power button and volume up button down, when the tab responds let go of the power button but still.Hold the volume up, then a second later let go of the volume. This should bring you to a menu where you can do some wipes and a factory reset. (I don't remember exactly what's there) IF you can d o wipes try that first. If that doesn't work then try the factory reset (do you have any data and pictures,etc you wantbacked up?)

Hi,
I'm in the United Kingdom and bought the GT in England... It is the GT-P7300 with wifi and 3G. The IC hasn't been released for the United Kingdom, yet, but it should be out in a few days.
I also think that my Odin is working... but the Recovery Mode is the internal problem that I mentioned with the GT. That is where it is stuck saying that it is loading (but it is not loading). At this point my problem is because of that I can't get to anything and can't do anything in the Recovery Mode with it stuck in that frozen loading effort... including wipes, factory resets, etc., it just keeps on saying that it is loading!
Thanks, again, I appreciate your interest and effort!
Are you trying to use cwm 5.5.0.4 that's in the 8.9 development forum stickies? I would 're-download the .tar version again and try to reflash it with odin. You'll load it in the PDA section and only have the auto-reboot and f.reset checked. Don't have anything else checked. Your first attempt could have been a bad download of cmw.
If you're currently rooted then will have to do something different in order to get the OTA ics when it comes out. I just got it for my tab a few days ago. You'll like it much better than hc.

OK! I think I've made some progress...
I was able to get clockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar from androidjinn.com. I was also able to get a connection from Odin as it turned yellow. I loaded the PDA with the .tar as you suggested, and started it. It passed! Now I have a CWM that works. Afterwards, using it I did a Factory Reset.
Now, I have a newly installed hc and a working CWM. But, would you believe that the Downloading Mode is still stuck on loading. Do you think when we flash a new ROM that it will reset the reloading correctly?
I feel pretty proud of myself! I think I am ready for Jelly Bean...
How do I do that?
Sounds great. I've been running jb for quite a while, but frankly I'd wait for the ics. Runs just as good and it's stock. Never thought I'd say that until I tried it.

Two questions:
Which system will enable the GT to be used as a phone?
How do I root my newly factory reset hc so my aps work?
Thanks
I have an i957 tab which is different than yours so I don't have an answer to your second question. To root your device see the stickies in the tab 8.9 development section it should be as easy as flashing a zip file thru your recovery. Make sure you get the right zip for your specific device though. Otherwise you can brick it. The biggest mistake people make its using a file for a similar device rather than one for their specific device.

Good work so far! Now you just need to download the rom (.zip file) and gapps (also a .zip) for the rom you want to use. Put those on the sd card of your tablet. To do this you may have to "mount external storage" in the cwm menus. Once you get those on there, do a full wipe, and then install the rom and gapps. That should do it for you.
To be honest, p7300 can only make calls via root and using cm9 custom rom. Will try to help you mate!! Sorry for late reply..
But just to make it easier, the 1st step is to use stock 2.3.6 that can be installed CWM 5, after getting that. You must download the custom cm9 rom and install into your internal memory(as i can recall all cm based rom will update your cwm 5 to 6 in the process). Will give you the link and try to resolve your probs!!
This is what you will need :-
Download Gt p7300 XEU stock 2.3.x ROM(search via filecorp)
Odin
Pits file
(all this is just in case that you need to flash it back to stock)
Will update my post in a short period of time!

Note to gulf educator: if your going to install a custom Rom, cm9 etc., you don't need to root first.

Touch Screen not working after ICS update

Hello all,
I have a GTab 8.9 from AT&T. I performed the ICS upgrade last night using Kies and it seemed to load correctly with no errors however the touch screen does not work now. It boots up fine but I cannot do anything with the screen. Power and volume buttons seem to be working fine.
I was able to reboot the device by holding the power button in and then go into download mode and do a factory reset. That went with no errors but the touch screen still does not work.
So, next I thought I would use Odin and try to push the factory rom back to it however Odin never sees the device, (tried multiple usb ports and 2 different pc's Win7 32b and 64b) However if I go ahead and let the GTab boot on up Odin does see it at that point. I can also get to the internal sdcard via my computer.
I also tried to copy the 7300_cwmr files to the sdcard and rebooted back to download mode. I selected apply update from sdcard and went into each of the directories but the device does not see any files in the directories, just the directories themselves.
So.... at this point I'm at a loss what to try next and I'm hoping someone on this forum can give me a nudge in the right direction.
I did reinstall the usb driver
Odin sucessfully recognized this device in download mode 'before' the ICS upgdate, not after.
I am using the factory usb cable and I did try a second one.
I was running version 3.2 before the upgrade.
Not ever rooted
Kies recognizes the device as well, can kies be used to flash my device? (sorry if that's a stupid question)
Thanks ahead
Are you sure you're in download mode, not recovery, when you try Odin. If kies recognizes the device I can't believe Odin won't.
Is the stock rom file you're trying to flash a zip file or a .tar.md5? The recovery is looking for a zip file and that may be why you didn't see it in any folder. Odin uses the tar file.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I am in download mode. As I mentioned, Odin was able to see my GT before I upgraded to ICS, but not after. At least not in DL mode. If I let the GT go ahead and boot up Odin recognizes it with the port showing up in it's normal amber color.
It boots up fine, the touch screen is not working though so I can't use the GT. Once it boots up I can see it in my computer and place files on on it.
Thanks
Have you tried fixing permissions when you're in recovery mode? Do you have a custom recovery installed our the stock recovery, and if custom which one?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I apologize, I'm not sure what you mean by fixing permissions while in recovery mode. I do not see that option on the screen. Everything is factory on the GT. I have not installed a custom recovery. The only change to the device from stock was the ICS upgrade that I just performed via Kies.
Is there a way that I can recover the device back to 3.2 using either Kies or while in DL/recovery mode? When the device boots I can see it and add files via my computer. Can I place the stock rom that I have downloaded from sammobile on the devices sdcard and reboot into DL mode and do a restore from sdcard? Is there a different way to do this without Odin?
Odin... I am not sure why it is not recognizing it while in DL mode. Odin will recognize it after the device boots. Actually Odin recognizes it just after the "Samsung" logo displays... while the AT&T "Rethink Possible" startup video is playing Odin will see it at that point. Not before. Quite frustrating actually. (I have tried multiple pc's and usb ports)
Thanks again for the help and apologies if I am asking stupid questions.
With the device off, hold down the power and both volume keys. When you see the Samsung logo release the power key but continue to hold down the volume keys for 2 seconds then release them. That should get you into down load mode. It'll say something about pressing the volume up key to continue. Have Odin running and then plug on the usb cable. Have you done something like that?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
ok... so I found an old "XP" laptop here at my office and downloaded the usb driver and Odin again and wnet into DL mode and for whatever reason Odin sees it on the XP machine. (whatever) grrr
Anyway... I downloaded and tried pushing both of the roms I found on sammobile.com for AT&T ( i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4) to my GT8.9, both times they completed successfully and when rebooting the touch screen would not work.
Is the rom still available for 3.2? Can I revert back to what came with it when it was originally released?
Thanks again for the assistance.
It sounds like you have a bigger problem than putting the stock Rom on it is going to fix. If you're still under warranty I'd take it in.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I called them up and can toss it back at them, which I will do if I cant find an original factory rom to try and push to it.
I'm still searching for one though I have not been able to find one yet. Can anyone point me to a factory rom for this device?
I'd like to try and flash it back to stock before I send it back to them (if possible) as the touch screen was working just fine before I pushed out the update via kies the other day. Once the update finished and it rebooted, the touch screen did not work after that.
Thanks!
Go to sammobile.com for the stock roms. You'll have to sign-up but it's free.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I've been to that site, that's where I got the 2 I mentioned above (i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4). I believe the UCLK4 file is ICS, correct? I'm not sure what version the UCKJ7 file is. I did try both. Those were the only 2 roms I could find there for the 8.9 ATT GT. I'll go back and look again. Maybe I missed it.
Thanks for your help
I'm sure those are the only two. The other one is honeycomb. They are the official Samsung roms. I think you've done what you can.

Regretfully my tab is not under warranty, and I don't know what to try next? Do you have any ideas
In a small way I'm glad to see that others are experiencing this also.
I wonder if anyone out there has a completely stock rom or knows where I can pick one up? I have tried the 2 over at sammobile and neither brought my touch screen back. I have searched and searched online and can't find anything.
I was reading on a different site while researching this issue and he said he reverted back to his original factory image and the touch screen functionality came back. I'd really just like to get my GT back up and running somehow until this ICS touch screen problem gets figured out.
Thanks ahead for any help.
Sammobile is the stock roms. Use the oldest one, honeycomb. The download is a zip file. To use Odin you'll need to extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip. Use 7-zip to do that.

Yeah I've tried both of the roms on sammobile. Didn't work.
Well, thanks very much for the help. I'll keep checking here through tomorrow to see if anyone else has a suggestion to try and if not I will just mail it back to Samsing on Monday. I hate doing that because I need it for a trip on the 15th. Grrr
