[Q] return to stock recovery - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I just own a s3 mini and I have a question, I had other devices but I've never done this before.
Is it possible to back to stock recovery after flashing a rom? I mean that when I press the keys to get into cwm / twrp with the phone off it turns as a hard reset instead.
Thanks in advance.

You can flash stock recovery in cwm or twrp, but I'm not following why you'd like to do that

Well, is because if I lost my phone again, I suppose that the first thing the people is gonna do is a hard reset, so I'll be available to delete all my data remotely using cerberus. If the phone has cwm and they flash a new rom or install a stock firmware with Odin, cerberus will be deleted...

You can flash your stock rom via odin but untick F.reset and your data won't be deleted but you will lose root. But your stock recovery will be restored

I don't want stock rom =P. I want to flash P.A.Cman and after that restore stock recovery.
@tys0n, where can I find the stock recovery flasheable zip?

Look at my signature for the recovery database. You'll find flashable zip there.
You won't loose root by changing recovery, and you can at any time flash back cwm with rommanager. Don't have to deal with odin

OK ty, I won't have any problems with the custom rom right? I mean, I can have stock recovery and custom rom running without problems, isn't it? So when I wanna change the rom again I just need to flash back cwm using rom manager, am I right?

[Q] Help note bricked?

Hi, I think I have bricked my phone! =(
I flashed yesterday the BlackCNA rom and I didnt liked it so I flash the stock rom 4.0.4 by odin, then the note stucked at samsungs logo, when this happened I restart the phone an flashed CWM, then CWM SuperSU and the francos kernel to root the phone.
The thing is that now I cant use my phone because it doesnt pass the samsungs logo!
First wrong section
Second get a stock gb rom and flash it via Odin...
Btw you don't have to flash franco to gain root..
There's plenty easy methods to root and francos its a way outdated kernel

Now I did a wipe cache and nothing!!
Before flashing stock gb flash Hydracore Standart then reboot to recovery and wipe everything and see if the phone boots

I flashed hydracore and do all wipes, and after 5 minutes the note started! thanks!!!
No problem.. Do not flash franco that's a really old software.. And with hydra you are safe to go with all roms (ics) and you gain root and cwm..

Thank men! You saved me!!
Now I have the problem that appears me a software update (of 5mb) with OTA and I put ok, it download correct and ask me to restart the phone, and when I put OK it restarts but at the recovery, so I dont know what to put but restart phone. How I can install this update with OTA without this problem?

Seems like you are on custom Kernel (hydracore) and as long as you are on custom kernels you cannot receive OTA updates. As of now best for you is to just ignore the OTA update.

Ok, I'll do that. But for the future when JB appears by OTA how can I put the official kernel?

You can download stock kernel for your rom from here and then flash using mobile odin. but there is no surety of OTA update even after flashing stock kernel but you can use kies for major updates.

Lol you don't have to worry about that for some months... Besides when ever the official gets out you can happily download it from sammobile.com then flash it via odin

[Q] very strange stuff

Been playing around and flashing ROMS and Kernels until somthing got F***ked up.
I'm on ClassicRom V6 but the thing is that no matter what i'm trying to flash from recovery the same rom stays on the device.The flashing procedure seems to go like it should but nothing changes i still get back the ClassicRomV6.
Also flashed a stock rom using ODIN but it was buggy and didn't work at all.
Can somone tell what's going on here Please.
Restock gingerbread via odin then wipe all from settings security factory reset, check the option for format sd and get your external sd out before starting the process

Do i have to restock to GB mine came with ICS 4.03 on it ?
Yes you have to restock to gb
Performing such procedure in stock ics its not safe and may brick your device

Flash of the boot.img

Why in Omnirom and in Cyanogenmod we need to flash the boot.img and in Liquidrom and in my old phone Galaxy Mini isn't necessary?
Just curiosity.

It's may related to the kernel

I never flash the boot.img. Why do you do that? Just use a compatible CWM version or TWRP. I haven't used fastboot for a long time!

Yes I am sure. If the package contain a boot.img and if the flashing completes without any errors, you have nothing to be worried about. Always use a newer CWM or TWRP or even the touch CWM.

No, I think u must use the PC Version of Odin to finish the process having a full stock rom without root.
