[Q] MIUI Port - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys!
Im trying to make a MIUI rom for our device but I need big help. Im used to flash, root, recover some phones (easy stuff), but porting a ROM its my very first time.
Yesterday I tried using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777999
I used the updated Maclaw CM10 as base and a MIUI port for the Xperia U as port (dont remember where I take it from but it wasnt from XDA)
At first I managed to get into the bootscreen, but after some while waiting for the first boot to complete, the boot froze.
Then I tried other rom and I was able to pass the boot, but it showed a black screen and some errors and when I pressed the power button it reboots itself.
As I didnt know what else to do to make it work, today I tried this method, with a hope of getting a successfull bugfree Port:
http://en.miui.com/thread-9630-1-1.html
but once again, the gods were against me, I installed the Ubuntu 12 but I couldn't install the prerequisites, and then, due to some automatic update or something, when I rebooted my PC the Ubuntu doesnt get into graphic mode
So, if some developer could help me or teach me how to port MIUI (in Windows if possible) I'll really apreciate it!!
Thank you

[Q] DjangoManouche refuses to install, boot-loop, help fix please!

Hello.
A couple of weeks ago I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick. Then I had to travel to the military and I've been here since then, and just a few days ago I downloaded Clockwork ROM Manager thing from Google Play and flashed CWM Recovery to my phone. Then I downloaded DjangoManouche Guestekernel 1.7, rebooted to recovery, wiped data and cache, proceeded to install zip from sdcard. I got to the aroma installer, chose all my settings, but the aroma installer stops and goes back to CWM Recovery after like 30 seconds. The Aroma installer is in the meantime stuck at 0%, but it does show a lot of files at the bottom it is going through. It stops at a different file everytime, stopping for 2 seconds before it goes back to CWM Recovery.
Now it refuses to reboot. It displays the LG logo shortly, screen goes black, comes light back on the screen, then goes black again, then displays LG logo for a while. Then it does that same process again. How do I fix this?
I am headed out of this camp on Monday, and I would really, really appreciate it if someone could help me get my phone working before then. I don't wanna travel completely isolated from the world in case something was to happen.
Thanks a lot if you bother to answer - and please, don't just skip this thread! This is really, really important I get working. Never had problems with this before so thought it would work, but unfortunately it didn't. Bad timing of me, I know.
Appreciate it!
Tried 2 different ROMs, one the DjangoManouche SpicaOC as it does not use Aroma installer, as well as temasek unofficial CM7 Kang.
Both get same message.
"Installing update...
E: Error in /external_sd/InsertRomName.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted"
I googled this error and found I have wrong update binary. How do I change this? I want to try install CWM again but I can't do that as far as I know without USB debugging or booting into Android. What program can I use to fix this? Please guys, I really need your help...
Tried following an NVFlash tutorial I found for the Optimus 2X but not sure whether it was successful or not. I followed this guide: (I was unable to link it cause I dont have 10 posts, it's called NVFlash Setup Instructions + Drivers on Modaco.com)
When I then proceed to run the nvflash.exe I get a cmd window pop up with some text for a 1/100th of a second, rendering me unable to read it. Tried print screening it but with no luck. How do I get this to stay for a little longer? Is there any other way to fix this? And what would I do after I NVflashed my phone?

with the nvflash method.....read it carefully....u just need to double click on flash.bat file and not nvflash.exe file
Hope it helps/....if you need more help let me know mate
EDIT: I would suggest that you use the same method but use this file with the same procedures of nvflash method...this ROM is pre-rooted with CWM clean stock R with the latest Baseband and good features....you can also use a custom ROM after that....dont forget to complete the initial setup if you want to use it
HOMERO'S ROM all credits to Homero2
Thanks a lot for replying! I read a lot about how I should use the .bat file, but there was no .bat file accompanying my download of NVFlash. Using CMD and cd command I got to do that sync command. Now downloading that Homero ROM of yours, but not entirely sure how I flash that file onto my phone? I have no .bat file in my NVflash so where can I find one if I need to to flash that ROM? Does it come with the ROM download maybe?
And currently quite happy as it appears I will get my phone working before I go travelling. Then I can fix it properly with DjangoManouche when I arrive.
EDIT: With the CWM recovery I get from this flash, can I use that to install DjangoManouche guestekernel with aroma installer? From what I understood the version of cwm recovery I had was what screwed it up, so it may work now?
With Homero ROM you will also get ripped and with CWM.you can then make a factory reset and then flash DM ROM by carburano.I have been using that for more than one year....best stock based ROM till ics arrived....
Still waiting for his magic in ics
Hope it helps you

Find the thread by spyrosk or felipemaddox to reflash your rom. Don't use ROM manager. Download costume ROMs from development threads only.

[Q] CWM install from pc

Hi! I have a old droid bionic, which may be hard bricked, but may just need a new recovery. About a month ago, i have safe strap running on it, and installed CM 10. then i was updating the safestrap, but got the wrong device version. Now all it does is boot the the safestrap screen, the goes blank for ever. I can get fastboot to work, as well as the default recovery.
Bottom line, is there a way to get a version of android back on here?
thx for all the help and devs!
Regards
Nvm, got it working again thru like 5 steps. Now have TWRP and CM 11!
I'm pretty sure so long as you can get fastboot enabled, you can fix almost any problem.

Try removing the battery and plugging the phone in to the PC.
Start SP Tools with CWM set in the scatter and only recovery ticked
Press Download in SP tools and then insert the battery
CWM should download to phone
If that fails repeat but plug the phone in once you press Download, then insert the battery.

Omg..i have almost exactly the same problem and the solution that MrAAnderson suggested didn't work.Here's how i ended in this problem.I was running VIBEUI_V3.0_1602_7.407.1_DEV_K50-T5 ROM on TWRP recovery made By Pr1nc3V app Lenovo K3 Note Manager [v2.1].Since i had annoying bug with "R" (roaming icon) and "gapps stopped working" issue i wanted to re-flash same ROM.I entered into TWRP recowery,cleared dalvik+cache,rebooted into recovery again.Now i wanted to flash ROM,but it didn't flash it gave me an error,same thing happens if i try to flash stock recovery (i even tried naming ROM and recovery as "recovery.zip" and "update.zip").Rebooted the phone but i'm also stucked on welcome screen where i can't pass it because of "Unfortunately,WLAN stopped working".
Tried to flash ROM and stock recovery with SPFlashTool but the tool doesn't see phone at all,same as Lenovo K3 Note Manager by Pr1nc3V .Right now i'm running out of solutions for this mess i created,any advice will help.Help me please to restore my phone.
EDIT: i just realized that i actually made a "factory reset" in TWRP recovery..not just wipe data,cache and dalvik.....what are my options now folks?
Ok i'm happy to announce that i resolved my problem (after a panic mode on,lol).Here is what i did..
1. Obviously you have to get back on your stock (original,ugly chinese-english one) recovery (in case you already didn't..).To do that i used SP Flash tool.(i wouldn't go into details but if you need just ask).
After that we have following situation..stock recovery + dev ROM (which isn't working well).
2.If you try to flash any ROM in this state it will fail (based on my experience,i tried to flash exactly same ROM which is already installed..no way.).So now next step is to get a CUSTOM (TWRP or CM) recovery,again flashing it with SP Flash tools.
From this point you can choose wher would you go...STOCK rom ,MODDED one ...anything actually.I hope i clarified a bit.
sptools is not detecting my device

Install custom/stock rom with locked bootloader and no access to OS

Hi there,
I got a bricked G5S+, which I reported in another thread already.
It was booting, showing the blue Motorola screen but ended up with a lying down android with a red questionmark and saying 'no command'.
That happened after I rebootet the cellphone for a longer time.
I read through a couple of threads and finally decided, I need to flash stock again.
I did not have switched on USB debugging and so on, as the phone was quite new to me and now cannot access android anymore to do so.
Anyway I thought: fine: I will just flash the stock OS again taking care of the software defect.
After having had some issues I flashed Sanders (SANDERS_NPS26.116-26_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml) following that thread here:
https://animetrick.com/flash-stock-rom-moto-g5s-plus-locked-bootloader-2018/
It is quite similar as this thread, which deals with installing a stock OS to a bootloader-locked phone:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/solution-to-flash-stock-romfactory-t3691396
The thing is I followed all steps but still get the same error:
A lying down android with a red questionmark and saying 'no command'.
Does anyone have an idea what else to try?
I am not aversed to install a custom Rom, such as the official RR v6.0.0, but I have no idea how to do so with a currently bricked phone.
Maybe you guys have a solution for me to unbrick and finally use my phone again.
Thanks a lot!
Regards from Germany

Hey bro Im not sure if you still need help but, if so can you try to boot into a recovery?
Hi Carlos,
yes I still need help.
I can boot into recovery. And fastboot runs and detects the phone, too.
Any idea what I can do?
Go ahead and download twrp from the Roms sections and also begin the process to unlock the boot loader, we can see if it still can be done without having enabled the setting in the developer sections, and if so we can either then flash the recovery and a custom rom or install stock again.
Sent from my iDevice running Smoothshake v11.3.1
I solved my problem:
It was the SD card. I cannot believe it.
I got myself another G5S Plus and swapped everything:
Same issue.
So I removed the memory card and all good again.
There is no need anymore to install a custom rom (at least not currently )
I am quite sad though not having figured that out earlier, becoz all my data is lost now....
Thanks for your help though!
I have fallen into same issue, i cannot install any custom rom or recovery to it but i can access fastboot & one recovery that has update via adb sideload / sd card but nothing works, shows failed line 2 error / install aborted .
the device just showing oem locked in fastboot & rom install or recovery install fails & says cause too many links
the phone starts & stucks after the motorola logo
anybody with any idea?
