recovery mode, keys combination I8190 - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, want to share what happen with my SIII Mini
I just receive ota for my mini SIII to version 4.1.2
in the previous version (4.1.1), i could not go into recovery mode by keys combination
but after the update, i access to recovery by holding volume up + home + power, still holding until seeing android logo :good:
so people if you want to access recovery mode by keys combination, WITHOUT OTHER PARTY, just update your mini SIII to 4.1.2 through OTA or Kies (almost all carrier are updated) or Odin
So we have Root, CWM, recovery access........ hoping seeing true ROMs for this device :good:

Its not that easy making roms. Yes we have root and cwm and thats a few steps forward but these devs are doing this all in there spare time so cut em some slack and be patient.... We will soon see some good things coming from this phone.

So is that other method. It came from an S3 Mini with working 3 button combination, so it's pretty much pure as it gets.

Bricked Phone, Help!

Well, here's the history how I got my phone Samsung Galaxy S I9000 bricked.
5 months ago, I rooted my phone with One Click Lag Fix, and recently it's starting to force closing my apps, so I decided to factory reset my phone.
After that, my phone nows only boot into the splash screen, and vibrates once, and then twice ( I think it means force close.)
Any help would be nice. Help! I really need to get my phone fix.
You need to download Odin and any gingerbread or froyo rom you please, and flash with Odin, would you like me to explain how??

Yes I would love you to help me explain.
I have no experince in odin... So it's going to be a hard time explaining to me.
But if you managed to fix my phone. It'll be HEAVENS!
Bump due to that my phone isn't fixed yet.
HELP!!
OK: Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881#14273114
Download Odin, pick a stock firmware for your region (for now try to match it to froyo 2.2 (or 2.2.1) or GB 2.3.3 (or 2.3.4).
Follow the guides on the linked thread, reflash (I'd try without repartitioning to start), test.
follow up with any questions or problems once you look and try the stuff linked.

ODIN->Sucks...I almost bricked my phone with it...
Flash it via recovery-->Best way
More info: http://theunlockr.com/2012/06/09/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-galaxy-mini/
Oh yeah...if you want to go through the recovery press the home key (the one in the middle) and power button...
Edit: if you try through the ODIN but then it shows a PC and phone icon press power button and volume up or volume down (I forgot )

Is S5839i a fork from S5830i?

Hello all!
I have a pretty basic question to which I didn't find a precise question.
Recently I tried to follow some "How to's" to root my S5839i.
Surprisingly, none if the HT to 30i worked on 39i.
Are these phones substantially different to justify a dedicated developing subforum?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium
Those phones are the same
ROMs for S5830I work on S5839i last time i checked
Ok. Then why does this sticky root to S5839i won't work?
There might be some differences that affect this basic hack
I manage to root S5839i following this

I have a GT-S5839i and i installed ROM for GT-S5830i about 4-5 months ago and i have a good root recovery package and it work fine on my phone when i had s5839i or s5830i
Thanks for your quick answer but I strongly doubt that my phone is that unique
There might be another explanation.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium
I don't doubt that installing a ROM isn't possible. How about rooting the original ROM?

1You must reboot your phone into Recovery Mode(Power + Vol Up + Home)
2.Install from sd card(in recovery you can move up and down by volume buttons and accept/select by home button)
3.Choose ClockWorkMode 5.0.2.6 temp Recovery
4.Than Select root.zip
5.After installing root reboot your phone normaly
6.Your phone should be rooted
Here try this maybe it'll help you
Will the phone still be eligible to warranty after this procedure? Can it be reverted?

If you have a s5839i and you already rooted phone you have lost warranty. To bring back warranty you must reinstall your rom which currently use (for example Czech Rep. Vodafone or Poland T-Mobile).
If you install s5830i rom to your s5839i i think is the same if you rooted your phone BUT i can to wrong about that. But whats a problem to install s5839i rom if you have s5830i rom .

You need to format every partition and reflash your firmware with odin

As far as I was aware you loose warranty for the SOFTWARE not the HARDWARE eg: faulty speaker, overheating cpu or pcb faults etc
You can of course re flash with ODIN using the PIT file to repartition. Use the stock rom your phone came with from samfirmware.com. It would be advisable to make a NANDROID backup of your current rom to restore before doing any rooting and/or flashing.
This is what I wish I had done but I learned from experience.

Help please. The horror!

Hi all, I upgraded to the official JellyBean on my German Note n7000. Didn't like it particularly the battery drain. Wanted to go back to ICS 4.0.4. Downloaded XXLRK 4.0.4 and flashed via Odin. No issues. However it will not go past the Samsung logo with the blue universe swirl. Not the N7000 white text screen the one with the flashing Samsung letters....
Any help will be appreciated. My beloved Note is hanging in the wind...
Full wipe before back to ICS...mak3 sure you know how to do that first...

If you are still in the original status I advise to go to any official Samsung dealer that have a technical service. Samsung can even give u a adres near u. They can help u without any cost.
