He doesn`t own the P version, so he can`t confirm it will works. He`s saying if you use the tee folder maybe you can make it run in your device.

Explanation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191628

I can confirm I successfully booted into harshjelly 3.0 after making the procedure described. it was ages ago and I didn't install later versions, but it's highly probably you'd succeed. just remember to use the /lib/tee folder from i9070P stock ROM (not the CM version)
besides, it seems it's not a risky operation. the worst thing ever happened to me flashing non-P ROMS was just lack of gsm signal(forgot to flash the /lib/tee .zip), so not a big deal

P990 stock rom zip

Hello pls where i can get P990 stock rom zip ( czech version ) in zip format... for me is better instalation.
Please answer fast
I have backup stock rom but if i flash it .... in boot screen freeze and after 5 sec restart phone
You'll first need to convert your file system to EXT3 first. CM is EXT4 and stock is EXT3. Flash this zip in recovery: http://android.modaco.com/topic/336...3-for-converting-your-device-er-back-to-ext3/
So you'll need to do this in recovery:
1. Wipe everything
2. Flash the BackToExt3 zip
3. Restore stock rom backup.
This should work.
Nice big thx this is easy and very fast

trapacska, you are a legend! For months I have been troubled with my CM9 flashed phone, wishing I still had video etc, and couldn't get my phone recognised by any pc i attached it to. Your zip file has fixed all my problems in about 3 minutes! Thanks a million!

I read this post above and cant go anywhere further because the silly rules do not allow noobsters to ask noobster questions ????
heres my problem,
I have P990 that came with froyo
the thing was working perfectly apart from front camera in Skype and silly old me, not being able to ask novice questions here (because you are not allowed) somehow managed to install the cryogen 9 naively thinking that this will fix the only problem I ever had. And then the world of unstability, locked and frozen screens, freezing, restarting, random uninstaling of apps, cameras not working, video freezing, music (what music??) not available and not even starting etc started to be my daily dose of my randomly properly working p990 phone.
Is there anyone kind enough to explain how to do stock rom as per above post install on top of my big mistake .
I have an unstable, unreliable (rooted ) P990 that is currently (very randomly) running cryogen 9 , I downloaded the 2 part files from trapacska's post (thanks for thinking of us mortals), I have 2 laptops , one with windows XP , one with windows 7 64 bit, a usb cable to connect laptop to the phone and I will to do anything to return my phone to some normality .
Please take me step by step or show me links how to do it and what other programs do I need in order to make my phone work as it is supposed to work.
Please understand that I do not understand what all this bellow means, and would really appreciate if anyone could explain or point to places where these things are explained ( please omit the first point, I found how to root elsewhere):
THIS IS 100% FACTORIAL STOCK:
-you have to root
-wipe data and cache NOW NOT NEEDED(built in format /system /data /cache)
-100% factorial stock kernel included
-baseband and recovery will not be changed
-if you have bootloop, try to flash backtoext3 first

[Q] What precautions to take before rooting?

Hello Guys, I was thinking to root my phone and install JellyBlast Rom. Can you please tell me ALL the precautions I should take before rooting my phone (with tutorial link)? I heard that we have to flash a file to make a FULL backup and other things. And will it be safe to install JellyBlast Rom? Is it working?

See the first post in this thread for all the instructions and files you will need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551156
If you are thinking of flashing custom ROMs then yes, I would personally make a "Full backup with CWM to ODIN format" of your firmware. This will back up everything including your IMEI number which can sometimes go missing.
If you wish you can also make a partial backup with Clockwork Mod Recovery and use the Galaxy Toolbox app, available in Play Store, to make a backup of your IMEI number. These are easier and more convenient when it comes to restoring.
Just follow the instructions carefully and the rooting will go just fine, its not that risky. Which JellyBlast Rom, there's two now? They're both quite new so you may want to wait a short while for others to give their feedback. You almost certainly won't hard-brick (unrecoverable) your phone by flashing a ROM for the correct model of phone but soft-bricks can sometimes happen.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot, Bro. I will make both backups to be safe. I didn't like the Simpilicity Jellyblast, But I liked the JellyBlast V3.0.3 one, But which firmware is better XXLI (In Simpilicty) or VJKL4 (In V3.0.3), I think XXLI is better because it is the latest firmware in my Country (India). What do you think? Can you suggest any other Rom? Is Pimp My Rom mod safe to use on our phone? It makes phone faster right?
EDIT: I made a Full backup. Now I have 6 Files on my SDCARD that CWM_BackUP_FW_ODIN.zip made:
bml15_EFS.img
PDA_S5830C.tar
CSC_S5830C.tar
BOOT_S5830C.tar
CSC_S5830C_clean.tar
PHONE_S5830C.tar
Now if I soft brick my phone can I use these files? If yes then which of these? Because ODIN Has only 4 option and here are 6 files.
No problem. I would have thought you would have been OK with either firmware but someone else might be able to give you a better answer on that. Yeah XXLI is the latest firmware available anywhere.
I'm using the AceCream v1.4 ROM at the moment, its stable, very fast and stylish but I'm not sure whether its still being actively developed. It depends what you're looking for, take at look here and follow the links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30731157&postcount=2
Yeah you can use these files to restore via Odin in Download Mode:
PDA_S5830C.tar
CSC_S5830C.tar
BOOT_S5830C.tar
PHONE_S5830C.tar
I think CSC_S5830C_clean.tar is a generic, possibly empty CSC image, not an actual backup, you can probably swap this for CSC_5830C.tar if you ever want to clear your Consumer Software Customization data.
bml15_EFS.img contains your IMEI and network/region lock info. You can't flash this with Odin, you would have to do it manually via command line but you're better using Galaxy Toolbox to be honest.
I think Pimp My Rom works but may not work straight 'out of the box', Adrenaline Engine also works and is included in some of the custom ROMs. For both of those you'll want/need the [email protected] S5830i custom kernel (search XDA).
Thank You a million times! I had so much confusion... Thanks again :laugh:

HOWTO: flash custom GB and JB roms for 9070P (NFC)

HOW TO PREPARE i9070 CUSTOM ROMS TO WORK ON 9070P​
disclaimer as usual - everything on your own responsibility still, seems to be quite safe, the worst ever happened is no gsm signal if using not appropriate /lib/tee folder files. no soft/hardbricks reported (yet )
technical details - scroll a bit down
----
part 1: /system/lib/tee folder to replace
Jelly Bean Stock ROMS and ones based on Samsung Stock ROMs (Harshjelly, PureVanilla, LightJB..)​the most important information: in order to get i9070P Jelly Bean modded stock ROMs working, you have to:
1. download this file: http://d-h.st/vUw
2. save the file on your sd card (preferably external sd, not the internal memory)
3. flash your desired rom, do all neccessary wipes and so on, but DON'T REBOOT YET!
4. you have to install the zip downloaded in step 1 (don't confuse the order of steps 3 and 4, otherwise your rom won't work for 9070P, ie. you won't have any radio modules working - gsm, wifi, bt)
5. reboot and enjoy
tested by users on various modded stock roms (read all the pages); the one above works on stock-based ROMs only,
----
CyanogenMod ROMs
for CM10, CM10.1 and CM10.2 file here: http://d-h.st/E9e
proceed exactly as steps described above
thx Mr.xD97 - files for /system/lib/tee extracted from his rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278169
according to hannez_r
Tee folder from JB 4.1.2 TW works on CM11.

- thx for the info
-------------------------​
part 2: the build.prop incompatibility:​this happens if you attempt to flash custom roms straight from your 9070P stock ROM. once you successfully flash any i9070 ROM, you won't be bothered with the issue (until you reflash your stock ROM with odin again)
in case flashing of your target rom ends immediately with an error ("assert failed: getprop....") then you have to do something with your build.prop. The explanation for that happening is: there are build.prop entries stating that the phone is "9070P" and the updater-script prevents your target ROM from being flashed to an uncompatible device (not an "9070")
possible solutions:​either: 1. grab some build.prop editors prior to flashing anything and change all occurences of "9070P" to "9070" and "janicep" to "janice". like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor or just edit your build.prop manually.
or: 2. unzip the target ROM .zip file, go to \META-INF\com\google\android and erase the lines starting with "getprop" (do NOT use windows notepad - it breaks the file, use notepad++ instead), save the edited updater-script and push it to the sd card. you're ready to flash the ROM
3. [automatically, to be tested] - waiting for your reports. ; use the build.prop.to.9070.zip to spoof your build.prop to i9070 model; it's a CWM flashable that should change the contents of your build.prop automatically. all credits for the script go to the author of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19093919&postcount=20 - remember, not tested yet, in case you still get an assert:getprop error after flashing this .zip, try rebooting recovery and install the ROM .zip then method 3 most probably not working, so don't test unless you have lots of spare time to play with your phone
--------
source and inspiration:
I found that in galaxy ace 2 i8160/L/P forum - you have to replace /system/lib/tee folder (or 3 files inside) in order to flash custom roms made for i9070: there it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159250
BUMP.
situation changed a lot. i9070P owners - try solution above

no more time today
btw. forgot to tell - take Gingerbread version of suppressed, no one knows what happens when you try with JellyBean version!
Woooow thank you

If I understand properly, I should be able to download JetMod ROM. Replace the three files in the ZIP “tee” directory, “cops_ta.ssw, custom_ta.ssw, smcl_ta_8500bx_secure.ssw”, with the same named files currently in my phone, go to TWRP, Wipe System, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Factory reset, then install JetMOD zip?
Does this seem correct?

yes, exactly. that way works for suppressed amoled/megatheme and for custom roms for ace 2 (ofc for ace 2 they use their /tee files respectively). so no reason it shouldn't work for jetmod.

BTW curious to ask if anybody dared to flash any custom JB rom over recovery to 9070P? guinea pigs needed
You are awesome! Jetmod works great! Thank you!
thanks!!
Oh thank you very very much! I have one question... Now it is not possible try to flash a Jelly Bean rom for 9070 ok.. But in future owners of 9070P will get Jelly Bean probably this method will work also for Jelly bean custom roms for 9070?

If you have a native i9070p ROM... search the system folder for any file that contains nfc in the name, and copy it from the native i9070p ROM to suppressed. P.S. use windows search function
Another question: after flashing a custom rom for 9070 on 9070P is flashed also the kernel for 9070... Can we use kernel of the rom or we should change te kernel with CoCore-P? Thank you for the reply

as long as the kernel you currently use works OK - no need to worry; but check your CPU usage as some users reported excessive CPU usage all the time for older cocore kernels. I can confirm that cocore 4.1(for non-NFC version) and cocore-P don't have that issue

still no luck with NFC - the files I used are the only ones that can have anything in common with nfc. it gets even worse upon reboot as the NFC service app pops up FC window every three seconds and doesn't stop until I deleted it and rebooted again :|

I have never flashed a new ROM. I want to try JetMod. It seems more I search, more restoring options are presented. (TWRP Restore or TB) Can someone recommend the safest and easiest method for restoring user apps and settings (SMS, MMS, & Contacts) on the new ROM? I have a TB and TWRP back up.

For Contacts I use the in-built backup feature....and SMS and MMS I usually use MyBackup Root for stock Messaging , otherwise when I'm using GO SMS Pro I use its in-built backup feature

I must admit I tried Jetmod without success. Does not boot. Just startup screen being displayed.
I tried with default kernel and with cocore-P 1.0 kernel. Nothing worked. Might be something wrong with the installation (using TWRP in cocore-P 1.0). Installing system files seems to take just a fraction of second. And I suspect nothing was actually copied. I also tried replacing Aroma updater with the "regular one". Still the same...
Suppressed 2.2+2.5 worked. But it is not really my taste Should have tried 3.0 instead. But I would really like to try Jetmod. Any hints about the recovery?
Does CWM recovery for i9070 (non-P) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987313 work for P devices? Anyone tried?

well, probably someone that's using jetmod on 9070P will tell you how to do it. but to be sure: did you start with 3.0, run the android wizard->rebooted to recovery->installed->3.1->rebooted to system->rebooted to recovery->installed 3.2 ? AFAIR when I was using i9070(non-P) I had to proceed these steps as flashing 3.0 + upgrades without reboots in the meantime caused bootloop or similar
as far as CWM is concerned - 1. it's temporary 2. it's meant for JB roms 3. never tried it on 9070P due to the fact TWRP always worked for me
Thank you very much adamuadamu... It worked very well for me... I installed jetmod 3.0 and i've done all the update to 3.2.2 without any problem
So none tried to do the same thing with Jelly Bean roms right?

I'm pretty sure JB ROMs will have the same issues that GB non-P ROMs had....and we don't have the JB /system/tee files and kernel to deal with it

I think the lib/tee files are the main concern at the moment to get JB ported.
I have downloaded official kernel sources for i9070. And it includes config for 9070P as well. I managed to build the 4.1.2 kernel image for 9070P. But I don't really want to test it myself. I am not confident that it won't brick my device
So far, most of brave ones who have tried 9070 JB image on P-device have got a brick. If anyone could explain the reason, would be nice.
Does anyone know, if the reason is wrong kernel? Or is there something else in the JB installer that causes that. Some hboot partition or something?
Modem partition?

[Q] I messed up the RADIO on my i8190L and now stuck in bootloop

Let's start with a little background as to how I got into this mess
- I had a perfectly working i8190L running SlimBean 4.3 from Maclaw (and I should've left it alone since its the wife's phone)
- I wanted to try out the new SlimKat 4.4 (http://get.novafusion.pl/?id=955)
- After a clean flash of slimkat, the new ROM was running fine after I completed setup EXCEPT baseband was 'xxxx'
- I rebooted into recovery and flashed GT-I8190_modem.bin-XXAMJ3-update2.zip because it was in my sdcard. I thought flashing a new radio would change the baseband except now I'm stuck in a bootloop with NO ABILITY TO BOOT TO RECOVERY!!!!
- I can only boot into Download mode, so I can still ODIN flash the system
Can someone suggest how/if I can fix this? I'm just kicking myself for turning a fully working phone into a brick with my wife breathing down my shoulders
my working setup was TWRP 2.7, SlimBean 4.3 and I had no idea which radio the i8190L came with default
I created a nandroid before all this mess, but I just need a way to get back into Recovery
You downloaded the wrong modem file. You need the one for the I8190L, but you flashed one for the I8190.

Sorry but you are going to sleep on the couch tonight I suggest this:
You must download the original rom from SamMobile, install it through Odin and then install again through Odin the Recovery and through Recovery your "old" new Rom. When you are in the new Recovery check for the nandroid backup that you made . If it isnt there look for the couch because the phone is with the "old" new Rom without any of the past data.
Btw if you want you can upgrade your baseband from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526831

No recovery at all or bootloop in recovery as well?

Don't bother trying to flash it if nothing happens, drain the battery, return to seller and get replacement. I got free replacement from Amazon with my bricked rooted S3 mini.

If it's not locked then I believe any i8190L firmware will do, just to get the phone running again.

It was a tough decision for me, it was either stick to a ****ty BlackBerry or get a free replacement and sacrifice the data. Some of it should be synced to your Google account

You could also try to reflash just recovery thru Odin and see if it works.
Sent through time and space from my s3mini/CM11

just to clarify... what is consider "the original rom from SamMobile"? There are plenty of versions and country codes to choose from... I just wanted to make sure I'm downloading the correct one.... i've done enough of using the wrong files already

You are in Canada but the L version is for the Latin America countries. So the firmware must be from one of that countries. Which one i can't tell you. You should ask your seller.
[problem solved]
Ok, I was able to restore the phone with /u/jstath1972's suggestion
1. I went to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and downloaded the latest 'L' firmware
2. I used ODIN to flash the firmware
3. the phone REBOOTED!!!
(once the phone rebooted, the rest was easy)
4. powered off and ODIN flashed the lastest TWRP
5. powered off and booted into recovery
6. RESTORED NANDROID so wife would stop giving me the look
7. updated baseband as suggested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2526831
THANK YOU THANK YOU :good:
side note: i wish my work was this effective in resolving technical issues (just my 2 cents)

Good sleep tonight, my friend ! :good:

Bootloop / aboot fused

So lately I made an edit to my build.prob file. I wanted to make my device think it's a Note 9 so I can get the Galaxy Skin Fortnite (I'm a stupid brat, I know). I restarted it and noticed, that it won't boot. No problem I thought. I just flashed the same rom again I was running on (Stock Rom) but I got this weird sw rev check fail fused 2 binary 1 error
Then I tried installing several custom roms through TWRP but guess what? I got a bootloop.
I think it's because there's a problem with the Kernel or something like that. Still don't know what this exactly is and how important.
Please don't tell me, that I'm stupid, because I already know that. I just want to get some help by some pros!<3

I think it's because I've flashed older roms, but I was already using the latest one. So it won't let me go back. Right now I'm downloading the latest stock rom. I'll try to flash that one. If it works, I'll let you know :good:

Got it to be working again! This means the error mentioned in the main question is just because you installed the wrong/ too old rom!
