If u wabt your stock Rom back ... Better Thing to do is! Flash Firmware With Odin!

i know but i want to make sure its exact same as the one i had. the other ace i have is the exact same model, same provider, same firmware. i want to know if i can restore from that phones backup onto mine.
also is there anything i have to do before going from cyanogen to stock?

U Will get most probably md5 mismatch ... if not md5 mistach ... for sure bootloop ... theres way but it a looooot harder than simply flash from odin!
I can make u a step by step ... but first i need to know your country and your provider in case u have one

i live in canada and my provider is koodo

This is getting worse by the minute ... i'll see what i can do for u!

1st of all ... You have to bring back your phone to rfs system file ... ! Use ext4 manager!
2nd Veryyyy Important! You have to use exactly the same recovery to backup and restore ... Ex. Backup With CWM 5.0.2.6 - Restore With CWM 5.0.2.6
3rd Lets Start Open Ext4 manager . You'll get an error concerning the kernel! Ignore it! Continue Choose Convert to rfs' Now Wait until its finished!
4rth - Reboot into CWM and do a restore ... Wait Until its finished, Reboot, Done!
If every thing went fine you'll be ok! if not get back here pm me
take care

thanks, im gonna try this in couple of minutes
sorry one more question, is ext4 manager an app, i cant find it.
nvm, i found it

i am flashing mine back by odin how long does this normally take mine has been on set up connection for 20 plus mins does it really take this long or am i missing something i am supposed to setup lol

[Q] Bad Signal Quality After Moving to USA

Hi,
I have SGS GT-I9000, I bought it from Middle East and it was working fine over there.
But now, after I moved to USA, I am having very bad signal quality over here; 3G is impossible and 2G has very bad signal.
How can I fix this?
I have Android v2.3.3
Thanks in advance...

Try using a different modem. I cant suggest one for the US since im from Europe..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783

Thanks...
But I am newbie, can anyone suggest which modem to use. Appreciate if I can get the link to download the modem and a guide on how to install it!

Well,, it depends on the state ur in,why dont u ask for a suitable modem for ur location in the thread i just linked.
Steps how to install:
1.Download the modem .zip file.
2.Place it on your sd cards root.
3. Reboot to recovery.
4. Select install zip from sd card.
5. Navigate to the downloaded file and select it.
6. It asks do you want to install. Select yes.
7. Wait till its done, navigate back to CWM main menu and select Reboot system.

Hi,
Since I am new to the forums, I am not able to post in thread you linked!
That's why I appreciate if you can tell me which modem is suitable for me.
I live now in USA-Texas-Dallas and my SIM card is from T-Mobile USA.
Thanks a lot for your support...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870460 here are the codes for different modems
---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------
Cant really help u.. i dont have a clue which modem will work for u.. just post around the forums a bit and then u can ask yourself.. u need 10 post till u get the rights to post on the thread, so 7 posts to go

OK, I found the code for T-Mobile USA (UV) but I am not able to map it with any modem; still don't know which modem to download/use
BTW, does implementing any modem will erase all my data or not?
Thanks again!

Dude just try one. U wont lose any data, etc by flashing a modem

Just follow the instructions i gave u and u will be good.. after flashing come back here and report ur results.
Finding the optimal modem , u just have to try a bunch of them and compare

Thank you so much; I will try it and get back to you...

No problemo. Pm me if u have troubles

Sorry for late reply...
I was trying to install the modem as per the instruction above, but I hit another problem:
When I entered recovery mode, there was no option saying "install zip from sdcard", but there is a similar option, saying "install update from sdcard", when I chose that and selected the modem file, it says:
Signature verification failed
Installation aborted
How can I proceed?

Is ur phone rooted?

[Q] for 4.1.2 root, what is the difference between build no.?

Hi,
I want to root my device, which i have upgraded recently to 4.1.2
the thing is, I found some information in root threads regarding build no. like XXAMA1, XXAMA2, XXAMA4 ...etc
what are the differences between them? if all of them are 4.1.2 JB?! will anyone work?
to make it easier, which thread can work to root my SG3mini device:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: I8190XXAMA3
Kernel version: 3.0.31-860525
Build number: JZ054K.I8190XXAMA3

You can just root the one you got. No need to re-flash the whole rom.

can you root with a 4.1.1 custom version on a 4.1.2?

Yes you can, but only if you make a factory reset first. Otherwise you'll have bootloops or force closed apps.

No it shouldn't be any problem. Factory reset makes sure there is no leftovers from previous install. Clears cache, settings, user data.

Just flash a wipe.tar and then your firmware.
I never had to flash param.lfs to get it boot.
Once I had to pull the battery and power on again when it got stuck on boot after flash.

Yes flash as pda. It's basicly the same as a factory reset.
If your phone reboots after, just put it in download again and flash firmware.

Afaik the param.lfs is mostly just a bunch of pictures. Don't know what it does, except loads the phone with startup/downloadmode pictures.

i dont get it.i have my 4.1.2 rooted now,but after flashing ,my phone doesnt boot.it only boots when i flash the PARAM file.i restarded my phone to check if that works and that works fine.i dont think this is a big problem,is it?
at first sight everything works fine.
WIPE doesnt work,and factory reset doesnt work either.is there a option to do this manually.i have clear master,is that the same?

thank you tys0n for your replies! i kept my CSC, didn't change it.. since i'm already having 4.1.2 (last firmware for s3 mini till now)
and followed this way to root my device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150979
and it worked
the only thing is, this way increased the flash counter! i dont know how is this bad, but i guess just if i want to give it to someone to check it, they will know, right?!
BUT I found other rooted ROM that they will reset binary count after flash to "none"! and will show firmware as "official" instead of "custom"..
anyway, good to learn and i'm saying all that just in case any noob like me saw this thread in the future maybe they can find one useful info or two
sorry TerenceTP7 that i can't help you.. still new to those things..
and thank you again tys0n

[Q] Rooted K zoom Needed to the technical service. HELP PLEASE

Hi, my K Zoom needs to go to the Samsung technical service (some rare drops on the camera sensor), but I flashed a kernel, and then the latest official Rom with odin, and now I have the triangle shown on the download mode.
How can I revert the K Zoom to get the guarantee service?
I've read the ChainFire thread but the k zoom it's not listed to be supported. Someone had used it?
Any advice?
Please,I need you!
Thanks in advance!

No one has an idea?:crying:

Just download the firmware from Sam Mobile and flash with Odin. Do not flash any kernel. It will Revert Back to Stock and you can send it for Warranty Claim.
---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------
Do not flash any other file Except for Stock Firmware for your Model and it will be Okay.

Thanks!
The sequence i used:
1.- Custom Kernel Flashed
2.- Original firm from Sam Mobile and flashed with odin
3.- Now i´m not root and everything in stock
Now, when i enter in download mode this is what i see, with a previous screen with a yellow triangle, and then this:
Produc name: sm-115
Current Binary: samsung Official
System Status: Official
Ap swrev: (1)
If you´re right, the phone is stock and in guarrantee, isn´t it?
Thanks again!
(I´m traying to be really sure because i only have one try in the technical service... :angel

I have made some "screenshots" from these views, to help.
Can I get now my K Zoom to the technical service in guarantee?

Could anyone (please please!) confirm or deny, according with the photos of the previous post, that the phone is now "in guarantee"?
Thanks a lot!

Good morning...

And good night from Spain... (still needing your help!)

No
You cannot send this phone to samsung in this condition.
Do NOT flash Custom Kernel flash only firmware and then have a look if its changed to No Triangle.

THANKS Talpur!
So... I flashed the original rom, the triangle is still there. What could I do? Any idea? Thanks, once again.

Try Traingle away.
Its an app for removing triangle.
That will probably solvr your problem.
---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------
After running triangle away flash the rom again to be sure.

sorry, no chance yet
you can still try to sent it in
they will either send it back,
or offer to repair at your cost
else... sell it as defective on eBay

Just download the firmware from Sam Mobile and flash with Odin. Do not flash any kernel.
