No Hotspot after rooting. Please help! - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK, so I've been trying to fix this for a while now wondering if it's something that I've done wrong but with no success.
Here's my problem.
I rooted my S3 mini (GT-I8190N) running on 4.1.2 using this guide. Everything worked great, had no problem using it to root the phone at all.
After I removed all the 3rd party pre-installed crap -facebook- and finished setting up the phone the way I like it, I noticed that the hotspot was no longer working!
So I tried using hotspot apps, re-rooting, resetting and even leaving it off for a while just to see if anything would happen. It did not.
After looking around a few people have had this issue but I've not been able to find a working fix for mine. Could anyone point me in the direction of one please or advise me on how to fix this as I use it a lot.
Thanks.

Nevermind. Fixed it, found a working recovery file and used ODIN to patch it.

Wait, no still not working. :/

nexus one market issues, PLEASE HELP :(

i recently noticed when i try to download any app from the android market or update an app it will act like its starting the download but then never actually start it. im running the latest cyanogen rom. i have tried wiping and reflashing the latest cyanogen rom and reflashing the google apps addon. i have tried restoring to a previous backup when the apps were working in the market. i have tried flashing a non cyanogen rom even. nothing i can think of (my thoughts are limited since im fairly new at all this) and still no success. i had the same problem on my g1 with cyanogen and i somehow managed to get that working again by trying similar things but no luck yet with my nexus one and its really upsetting me. any ideas on how i can go about fixing this? thanks for all your help. i have also tried uninstalling the market updates and signing into other google apps like talk to try and jump start it on the advice of someone from another forum.

[Q] issues getting back to OTA Path

im newish and cant post in the development forum yet so im bringing my problems over here unless a mod wants to move it for me, anyways, i originally flashed a leaked update and was wanting to get back on the update path so i tried p3s 1 click method and it worked like a charm, at first anyway. when the phone rebooted i seem to have lost root to some apps, superuser was not present so i downloaded it from the market but it wont run and says i dont have root, yet some apps that require root still work (wifi tether, TB), whats going on? and the other thing that was bugging me is for some reason everything installed and works but i have no camera app and no camcorder app... i decided to download the razr camera app and give that a try but i dont have a camcorder app, can someone pull it and upload it for me? thanks in advance, and a warning to those who are getting back to the ota path, dont take the 5.9.901, it was so much worse when it came to data drop issues, for me at least.
And the razr apk I downloaded wont install, is there a special way to install a camera apk?

[Q] Has anyone found a One-stop Update Fix & Root solution yet?

It's obvious we're all having major problems with the latest update un-rooting our kindle and I can't find any threads that are saying how to just re-root and bypass this update and all the problems we're having.
Is there a general list of everyone having the same problems with this update? like flashing screen, launchers not working and their files not being found, can't move or delete files into/out of /system/app, not being able to root and get it working smoothly like we could before this update?
I've re-rooted and installed a few launchers, but nothing is working right. My notification bar keeps flashing on and off, I kept getting a flashing screen but it finally stopped somehow, everything is slow, even my keyboard, I'm having problems with apps even showing up anywhere in ES file explorer, much less being able to move them.
I bought Next Launcher but it's nowhere to be found and the devs aren't responding to anyone about it.
can someone PLEASE HELP?
Would it be easier to completely wipe this thing and start all over? if so, what's the easiest method that actually works smoothly after this dumb update? I've got root but everything is still completely jacked up.

Xiaomi mi5 cm13 minor problems

Hi all.
I installed cm13 on my mi5 pro yesterday. Looking good so far. I only have minor issues. The first and most important is I can't swap the back and recent button. I've already got used to miui method ( back on the right, recent button on the left).
How can I change them on cm13? Unfortunately closed+gravity can't help me, because after installing them my banking app (Barclay's) thinks that my phone is rooted and closes with an FC. I've also tried the buttons on the screen option, but in this way I lose screen size, though I can change the buttons I believe.
The other small issue is that I don't really like the menu in this alphabetical order system. Can I use something else instead? Like what is in Nova launcher, just a normalenu, nothing else.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Cheers!
the first issue is related to kernel... when cm will be based on the kernel released from xiaomi, the problem will be solved. don't worry, developers are working on it
I found the a method and it is working:

For the drawer style you can change that in the launcher's settings. Long press a free spot on your home screen, then press settings and change style to "compact".
This swaps the two capacitive buttons around to xiaomi setup instead of Google
you can also find it on this url: https://store.shade.sh/mi5/ from the unofficial cm13 weekly build thread if you do not wish to download it from myself
Thank you guys its working like a miracle.
Now I have another problem, but this time it looks massive.
So my problem is that cm13 is pre rooted when you install it. Well, I have no problem with it, but unfortunately my banking app ( Barclay's) has. I can't use it, because it says rooted device not supported. I've already checked developer options, and root access is disabled, but this doesn't help, I still have issues with the app. I tried flash SuperSU+binaries from twrp, opened app after flash and use full unroot, same problem, banking app thinks my phone is still rooted. I'm thinking about trying out the slim (aosp based) ROM if I can't find any working method.
Can you guys help me with this?
Thank you one again

Tried out this method, but as soon as I tried to start banking app, it closed with an fc. Yes I remember now, that was the problem few days back.
Hm...I can't think anything else..

Try using shade.sh's userbuilds. They are built without built in root. They are under the category "userbuilds" on his website.
Success!
I had to install aosp to to realize what's the problem here. After I did that the same problem happened.: Banking app says my phone is rooted. So I tried doing the same methods on aosp what I did on cm13, except Xposed+gravity because I knew my apps gonna FC. So I tried safe unroot apk from play store, no luck. I also tried this app the night before.
Then i thought maybe I should enable root in developer options, because yesterday morning with this was a half success, Barclays mobile banking app( debit card) said, the device is rooted, I touched ok, then it started without any problems. It was only half success, because the other app Barclaycard (credit card) didn't work, same problem: the phone is rooted. So I tried out the following, and that was the complete success:
Enabled root access for apps only in dev options than i started safe unroot from play->everything's working like a charm.
Thank you guys for help!

Help required. Magisk keeps uninstalling and losing root

Not sure what's going on here. I rooted exactly per the guide last week but I have noticed sometimes when I go to use Android pay it won't work. When I go to magisk manager it's not installed. I have flashed it again several times but it will randomly uninstall.
I tried the patch that had something to do with file access but it's still the same.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks.
Does no-one have an answer to this?
If Magisk just isn't going to work I would rather know about it rather than it just not being installed randomly.
Thanks!
I actually having a similar problem...
Are you in the beta channel? Might want to try switching back to stable
I've just switched back now. Let's see how it goes!
