[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.

Here is also a very good explanation on these PDA/PHONE/CSC codes.

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.

the one that you have http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178346 is this a root version?for the netherlands?can i use it on my phone?

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.

do you need to wait long on bootscreen while flashing with wipe.tar?
and how does it work?just odin>pda,select wipe.tar>start?

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

Sv: [Q] for 4.1.2 root, what is the difference between build no.?
Search triangle away here on xda. It's an app that will reset your binary count to zero
Sent through time and space from my s3mini.

Do you see the phone in device manager?

no? im not sure where that is actually lol

Hit me up on gtalk

No ROM, can't flash, brick??? Please help!!

Hello everyone,
First I want to say thank you all for the work you have done. Recently I started messing around with my HTC ONE from Sprint.
Well I think I screwed everything up. First, I want you all to know I spent the last 8 hours searching the internet and trying different things and well, I am about to throw in the towel. I am hoping someone may be able to help.
I somehow deleted everything on my device, including the rom. I cannot get past the HTC screen now nor can I get any roms back on. I have tried twrp but it will not let me mount the /data nor will sideload work, it just fails. Adb doesn't seem to work at all, never sees my device yet fastboot sees it every time. I have tried using fastboot to upload a rom yet I get strange errors like some sort of android text not being in the rom. I tried the stock RUU but it doesn't seem to want to take.
So with all that said, can someone please help me. I have the HTC drivers installed and it shows "MyHTC" under my devices in the control panel. I also have the SDK tools installed. When in twrp and under the "mount" option, it says storage has 0mb. I can't think of anything else to do but rip my hair out. I have honestly been working on this for hours straight.
EDIT: I also have my phone unlocked and it was rooted before all this mess. I still have s-on and havent figured out to turn it off now that it is all messed up.
Please help!
Thank you!

I would highly suggest pm-ing big daddy619. If he is willing, he can get you up and running. Also to start make sure your sdk tools are updated to work with 4.3 it's rev 18 or 19. Plus big daddy has a very intuitive guide at top of q&a section. Good luck!!

Did you re-lock your bootloader when you ran the RUU?

When I run the RUU is says my current image version is 3.04.651.2. It doesn't get past the sending portion. Then I get an error 155 and it tells me to get the correct rom update utility.

I was using Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_3_04_651_2_RUU which I found on a forum I believe. Honestly can't remember because I have downloaded so many different roms and fixes.
I will try the one you suggest right now.

Well, same thing with the RUU you suggested. Error 155 I am so frusturated over this.

Once you get the ruu done do this to install the drivers properly(they may install in OS,bootloader,recovery)
ADB = OS & recovery
Fastboot = bootloader
Unplug your phone
Uninstall everything HTC
Reboot your PC
Use these drivers http://d-h.st/FXC
Install above drivers
Plug phone in and let the drivers install (in OS,Recovery,Bootloader) if your PC and phone still don't talk to each other in all 3 modes do this
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone(usually M7WLS), right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good

Make sure you try different usb ports, it's as simple as that.

You need to be more specific as to why it failed, read the text on twrp's
screen which tells you a little bit about the cause of the failure.
Good luck!

Just extract the stock rom with 7-zip and you'll see the different IMG files, including boot.img.

I have to apologize to everyone for this not so smart post.? I had a few drinks in me and obviously wasn't thinking clearly.. ?
Before anybody says anything "no I'm not a drunk" lol. I just happened to have a few glasses of wine to many. I'm seriously a lightweight.. Anyway after my head cleared up I realized what to do. I've been an Android enthusiast for some time now and its rare that I ask for help.
I really appreciate the suggestions though and will be asking for this post to be removed..
I also appreciate you all not flaming me as well?
