Hi everybody,
sorry for posting this outside the mini 2 forum, but appearently that's a developers reserved forum, so I had no rights to post there.
I would like to ask what is the latest stable custom rom developed for mini2, where to find it and possibly an instruction page.
I had good experience with CM on another galaxy before, so I checked on the the CM website first but mini 2 is not listed there
On the other end I saw a long post on the mini2 developers forum saying that CM10 was actually created, but the post is 91 pages long(!), so forgive me if I didn't read it all. Is it working?
I also checked if there was something like an "in evidence" post with instructions for newbies but couldn't see any, maybe I missed it.
Can someone point me to the right page?
thank you for your held

mm in the meantime I screwed things up. I installed gapps and now it only boots in recovery mode...
why? what shall I do?
please help
thank you
davide
ok, now I'm starting to panic.
why does nobody answer, am I doing something wrong with this post?
I reinstalled the stock rom. I first tried using CWM recovery and selecting install zip file from sd card, but it didn't work: it told me BAD regarding the zip file (downloaded from sammobile), then I succeded using odin. by the way which is the correct method?
However it now seems to start, but I get in loops messages from the setupwizard that says the guided configuration has crashed and also from gapps that Google service Framework has crashed (but should gapps be wiped by the rom flash???).
the problem is that the first of the two keeps restarting and crashing so the phone doesn't do anything else then showing this messages.
please help

After you flash Stock ROM via Odin. Remove battery, put it back. Boot into stock recovery - clear user data & cache and reboot. If the same error occurs try deleting /Android directory(old cache) in your sd card.
thank you for your reply, unfortunately it didn't help.
what do you mean by "stock recovery"? the recovery I see, I believe is CWM which I installed before, but I'm not sure.
anyhow from there I wiped user&cache but I had tried this before and removing teh battery didn't make a difference.
I do not have any /Android directory on my SD card.
it's a simple 4GB fat 32 partition with a single file in it (the zip with stock rom I tried to flash before using odin) and nothing else.
by the way, I used odin3 v.1.83 to flash and I selected the file using PDA button,
but I also have "bootloader", "phone" and "csc" options.
what is the difference?
everything I do makes it more dramatic!
I tried reapeating the whole procedure once again, and odin crashed while flashing teh rom. now it doesn't even boot in download mode, it simply asys to connect kies in recovery mode. but kies never saw my phone in spite of driveres reinstallation, and it is of course not seeing it now!!

you should terminate kies before using odin. You can kill it in task manager, because kies intereferes with ODIN.
You should'nt be concerned with bootloader and the other options. As long as ur downloaded stock has tar.md5 extension you just place it in the PDA section and select Auto reboot and F. Reset time only.
Also You should only disconnect when it says PASS otherwise u will brick ur phone.
When u success fully flash ur stock rom, the chance is it will not get to homescreen
So u remove battery, reinsert it, press and hold HOME button together with POWER button, the phone boots into stock recovery, you choose wipe data and cache, then reboot. (chemicalrage explained this)
If it ain't booting into download mode u should go to service centre.
PS: My advice is to stay away from custom roms until samsung releases jelly bean for mini 2, then better custom roms will be released.
Hey guys I've got some serious problems with my phone...
Today I wanted to flash the new recovery from ivendor on my brend new PC. Ive installed the "Samsung Driver for mobile phones" because I know that Kies won't work on CM10. Well so far so good. I flashed the new Recovery via ODIN. The phone rebootet normally after that like always. Than back on my Homescreen I was going to settings to do a factory reset including deleting all files from SD card. The phone rebooted again and than everything was going to hell...
Than the Android symbol showed up like always after a full wipe but that time the phone bootet into recovery directly and my recovery shows a lot of errors like E:cant' mount / cache/recovery/log E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p17. And my recovery background has this Android symbol which you can see in that link:

When trying to boot normaly my phone only boots till Samsung galaxy/Cyanogenmod screen and after 10-15 secound it goes off...
Please Help!
Cant help you alot, but try to get stock firmware and then root and flash your rom again. It should help you.

!!!!!!!!!!!
the most important thing:
you have an i9001
dont flash anything that is made for i9000
flash only things that are made for i9001
!!!!!!!!!!!
please try to flash a stable recovery via odin like clockworkmod 5.xyz.
you may find it in the CM9 thread by arco
edit: just found:

Greetings & good luck
Thanks guys for your help. I tryed all of that. Even flashing Stock ROM hasn't helped. Phone is bricked : /
does odin detects your i9001 when it shows the screen described in 1st post?
if you could do something with odin and if there are no hardware problems your phone is far away from bricked. (my opinion)
take a look at our wiki. you may find something to reset everything (partitions, bootloaders...)
good luck
well dude u r using s+ right..try flashing it through the recovery mode directly if u can access the card..or take a card reader and mount the cwm recovery and flash that and flash those zip files u want through external sd card..i dont trust odin much..maybe we can figure this out together if u didnt fix it yet.
I have exactly the same problem, no matter what I flash (with Odin/CWM) it no longer boots, and it fails to wipe data partition. Any idea how to repartition de data partition?
It never happend to me but I'll try to help you. I don't know if I'm allowed to put links on this forum but broodplank who is known on this forum for his sgs+ releases has a great tutorial on his site and u might wanna check it out. Google broodplank and acces his website, under the section tutorials you will find what you're looking for.
or look on his xda thread...

So I made that flash thing for my tab using Odin and CWM 3.0.0.5 PDA file.
It showed that green bar, then PASS, then the phone rebooted, and when it lit up, it showed "GALAXY TAB" screen like forever.
So I figured out how to go to recovery mode, by pressing power and vol. up... it shows that screen where you can choose by the volume button.
The problem is that whenever I choose anything, it always give similar errors as :
" E:unknown cannot find path [/sdcard] etc."
So I can't install a custom ROM now.
It's like I'm stuck in here, and the phone doesn't wanna start up or do anything, BTW, I have a mini-sd external card, I got a CM9.1 Custom Rom from the site itself, and copied it over that mini-card ... in-case to install it, but whenever I try to, it gives me that same message above.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

Ok, so I remebered that my phone had an old kernel of Overcome "Kratos Experience" with V. 2.3.3 ... So I searched for a similar kernel, I found overcome 4.0.0 and flashed it from Odin .. then the phone worked...
Now I have 2 Questions :
First : Did anything change or did I lose any data or any stuff ?
Second : What should I do to install Custom ROMS ?

Sorry this is my first time doing these stuff on android, I'm not experienced with it though, it's kinda more complicated than windows.
So please, explain what you said in simpler words.
Now if I go to recovery mod, I see the "Hat" icon back there .. but with blue line colors instead of the orange ones.
But the new "About Phone" Data is :
Model Number : GT-P1000
Firmware Version : 2.3.3
BaseBand Version : P1000XXJMF
Kernel Version : 2.6.35.7 Ovecome-v4.0.0 #40
Build Number : Overcomev3.1.0-KRATOS

Egypt, and it was from some where in the far east ( Philippines or something ) .. and it's only GT-P1000 !
I used to be on Kratos at one time.
Just follow my signature to overcome method.
Dowload the PDF and follow it from page 7 or 8. Ignore the earlier pages.
That will be a complete restock. Everything wiped out.
And the overcome kernel 4.0 will give you cwm 5.0
With that you can flash cm9.1
My opinion is everyone who wants to flash custom ROM have to know how to restock.
And overcome method is a 100% sure method for that.

You are far, far from the first person to ask that question so please put some effort in and search first, rather than simply expecting people to repeat the same instructions for the 100th time.
i searched every inch of this site for O4x recovery flash

error boot image signature means the bootloader is locked. so u didnt install the recovery and so thats why u cant go in recovery. u just deleted the stock recovery by mistake. now u either go ahead and try unlock , flash recovery and install new rom if u want to go away from stock rom, or use kdz to restore.
<<EDIT>> i dont understand that o4x. i just told you whats ur situation there. now use search and find the solution
Hi there,
I was recently put in the same situation, i.e. I installed ROM Manager and then ClockworkMod. When I open ROM Manager --> Recovery Setup --> Install or Update Recovery --> Click on "ClockworkMod Recovery" --> I get "Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection and that your SD card is inserted and have free space!". I have made sure that I have both, therefore I do not understand why I get this error. When I select "Reboot into recovery" in ROM Manager my phone restarts and then I get the same error as ruznik.
When I try to boot into recovery manually, i.e. switch off phone, Volume UP (or DOWN) + Power button, I get the same error as ruznik. However, my phone boots normally which is always a relief.
I uninstalled ROM Manager and tried to boot into recovery and I got the same error as ruznik. Then I installed back ROM Manager and in the Recovery set up there is already "ClockworkMod recovery", which probably means that ClockworkMod was not uninstalled when I uninstalled ROM Manager.
I have rooted my LG P880, but I believe I have not unlocked the bootloader (I suspect that CWM + bootloader not unlocked is what is causing the error with booting into recovery?). I say I believe, because I did the rooting some time ago and I do not remember if I have unlocked the bootloader as well.
I would like to uninstall CMW. However, I understand that this is not a very easy thing, therefore I would be happy to reflash my EUR-XXX Jelly Bean 4.1.2, root and then unlock the bootloader. However, although I have properly installed the drivers (as this is not the first time I will flash the EUR-XXX), my phone does not connect to my PC, although it charges from the PC. I have tried with two different cables, I have enabled debugging, I have Media Sync enabled (I tried also the option LG software as I have LG PC suite installed), I have tried to connect it to different ports, I have tried to connect it to different PCs, but still nothing. Note that this is happening only with my LG P880, because I can connect properly my Iphone 4S to all 3 PCs. Also, when I open my LG PC suite, I cannot connect the mobile phone to the LG PC suite via cable, but I can connect it via Wifi connection.
I am a bit reluctant to unlock the bootloader, e.g.
youtubedotcomslashwatch?v=sBeirPeT2rQ
youtubedotcomslashwatch?v=iqEop-ThNug
because I do not want to brick my working phone when I cannot connect it to my PC so that I can flash it (sorry for the broken links - I am not allowed to post links because I am new to XDA). Therefore, I have two questions:
1) Is there anything I can do to connect my phone to a PC? I believe that everything went wrong after I installed ROM Manager and then CWM via ROM Manager.
2) Is it safe to unlock the bootloader while the phone is in the current state? I am not sure if the phone will restart and then will not be able to turn on again because it will be bricked? And since I have not managed to connect my phone to a PC, I am not sure how I will be able to flash the software?
Apologies for long email - I tried to be as descriptive as I can. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Tried Cyanogen 10.2 d2spr
Sprint Galaxy s3 L710
Android 4.3
Odin 1.85
Got superuser and used goomanager w twrps
made backups
Tried to flash cyanogen and i got error missing md5
tried a fix where you edit the updater-scripts in the cyanogen zip and that didnt work
Then I read that switching to cws would fix the problem, I read that you can d/l the cws zip and use twrps to flash it
Basically I was way over my head and shoulda kept the restore to stock option because that WAS working
Phone wont boot normal. volumeup and power and menu just flashes"recovery booting" or something really fast in the top left corner and shuts back off
Idk... Odin doesnt recognize the phone anymore
Definitely dont know what im doing anymore.
