[Q] What's the newest firmware for S3 Mini I8190? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I tried searching but the search here on XDA isn't working well for me, don't know why but I can only search once, after that the search box become un-clickable and I need to browse back and forward again to use the search again, did that a few times with no results.
Anyway, what I wanted to know is what is the exact newest Official Firmware version for the Galaxy S3 Mini I8190 (Regular, no letter after it)
my current version is I8190XXAME1, is there a newer version available? I'm having all sorts of strange problems and hoping a newer version exists that will solve them.
Thank you.

I assume I8190XXAMG4 is newer than I8190XXAME1, right?
That's the only thing I managed to find that looks newer, the firmware file is certainly from a newer date.

Go to sammobile, register an account select firmware, select download and then select gti8190. If you want to root this firmware use this:

Thanks, went there, confirmed XXAMG4 is the newest, which I already updated to last night, took a chance, it fixed my problems, and I already have that root guide bookmarked, I use it everytime.

A couple of day ago my phone froze, had to remove the battery to release the freeze, since then, my display language, which was Hebrew disappeared from the language selection list and even apps like morelocale 2 didn't work, only temporarily until the next restart of the phone.
After the upgrade the Hebrew returned to the list of languages as normal.
Also, lately touchwiz seems to crash a lot, didn't have it yet since the upgrade to the new version.

Ahh OK. My wife and my friends phone both have apparently common issues where the battery gets drained quicker then it should. I'm currently reviewing custom ROMs for my friends phone, not that many on this phone.

You could root your phone get CWM and then get CM11 (Android 4.4) from Maclaw

Oh yeah, that makes sense since the alphas betas and nightlies are pretty unstable - well then they make RCs and Stable versions which you can get with only benefits, but hey an opinion's an opinion, can't fight it.

[ROM / GT-P7510] - Stock Rooted / No Mods / De-Odex'ed - HC 3.2 - HTJ85B.UEKMP

As the name implies this is a bone stock rooted ROM with the exception of root and busy and its de-odexed.
I also updated all the apps. So its not really bone stock but.. Close enough
This ROM has two purposes...
1. For someone that wants just that, a stock rooted ROM with no mods.
2. For others that want to dive into development or at least tinker around with there own custom ROM. This is a great base to work from! All the menial tasks such as rooting and de-odeodexing have been done for you.
Hope you find value in this!

Correct, WiFi only. GT-P7510 = WiFi only model.
It may work on on the variants but I really dont know because I dont have one.
If the mount points are the same then you can flash it and let us know.
What model do you have?
I have the wifi only, and am trying to get a stock only rom thats rooted, i download a rom and each time i try to download from market i keep getting download failed so i figured i try stock again and yours looks prettty promising.

If you get download failed try to clear market data in Application Settings. That usually fixes the dreaded market download failure.
Thanks, I tried that several times still could not get it work work hopefully your rom will fix this for me.

Wow... I wonder if they locked your account or something. I just tried on my phone and it was fine. Making a new Tab ROM so I cant test that now.
Did you Google the error by any chance?
I googled it and it seems like there was a issue like this last year and it was due to a download limit supposley it was fixed then
I'm on stock KMN that I rooted myself and am showing an update to KMP, but it fails every time so I figure it's probably due to the fact that I'm rooted.
That said, I thought I would give this a try, but I'm loath to reinstall everything afterwards so my question is whether this requires a wipe? I'm assuming this is installed from recovery, is that right?

Nexus 7 Toolkit (Root) 4.1 - Wants to update

So I had Jelly Bean on my N7 from factory. I decided to root it, and I used the toolkit to root it.
It reverted it to 4.1 and deleted everything (basically a stock flash) which was irritating, but I got it all set back up.
Just got a pop up to update it to 4.2.
What should I do?
If 4.1 is better, how do I make the pop up to update go away.
If 4.2 is better, will I maintain root through the update? If no, how can I, or reroot.
If 4.1 is better is kind of personal choice, most like the 4.2 update, some hate.
Technically it's better because it comes with new features but it also nixes a few like tablet UI and some of the new functions are still a bit buggy (esp. multiuser related things).
Not sure you can get rid of the update dialog permanentely.
If you just let the update go it's course you'll loose root - but that's not a problem, as you can simply re-root after the update.

I'm pretty sure I was already on 4.2 when I rooted it using the toolkit. If I do the update, and reroot, won't it drop me back down to 4.1 again?

Use ota rootkeeper app from the play store to keep root when updating. That's what I used and worked perfectly.

HI all, this thread answered most of the questions i had but one,
when i unlocked/rooted 4.1 i installed twrp then updated twrp with goomanager app ....now seeing as im on the newest twrp recovery i wont have any bootloops or anything when i click up update right?
anyone?
bump*
Bootloops have nothing to do with the recovery, they are usually caused by incompatible system data from a different ROM.
Since you'll be updating the "same ROM" to a newer version (stock 4.1.x to 4.2, if I go you right) everything should be fine.

Went ahead and did the update. It maintained root as far as I can tell...
Not 100% sure I had JB to begin with now...
jj92942000, I think I lost all my settings etc because I didn't do a back-up. I skipped that step like a moron.

This is what I know. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The N7 gets a reset when you unlock the bootloader, not by rooting (flashing su.zip) or flashing a custom recovery.. This is supposed to be a "security feature" by Google.
The S3 comes with an already open bootloader. Furthermore other vendors might not have included this "security feature" in their phones/tablets.
I did the OTA update to 4.2 and did not lose root. Prior to update I was on stock 4.1 with Trinity kernel and rooted using nexus toolkit and CWMR. Only thing I had to do was flash back to stock 4.1 kernel as the OTA failed with Trinity, then using CWMR installed the update that was sat in the cache. At the end of flashing the update CWMR warned me that the ROM I was installing wanted to use its own recovery, click no to keep CWMR, then it warned that root may be lost, click yes to keep root.
No other apps needed and I'm now on stock 4.2 with root access. Only thing in have lost is my tablet interface from build prop tweaks. Once I find a way round that happy days!

Changing the lcd density so you get the full tablet view instead of this oversized phone ie phablet view. Not sure if it works on 4.2 though and haven't found the thread with the files to modify to try it out.

Anyone tried the CM10 M2 Experimental Build yet?

They posted the new M-series build yesterday. I tried to install it a couple of times, but the install failed using the latest TWRP. Maybe i'll try with ROM Manager and see what happens.
I installed it yesterday afternoon. Still testing it out, but it seems to be working so far.

I actually used the built in CM10 updater. My recovery is TWRP. I didn't even wipe the phone. I did install the new gapps file first as they got released almost simultaneously and then flashed the experimental file.

I think it might be the version of TWRP that I am using. I updated to the most recent 2.4.3 yesterday. I know that sometimes the older versions give less errors. Anyone who used TWRP care to tell me which version they are on?
I tried again using the CMupdater, but no good. Just gives me a bunch of errors.
Anyway. Maybe i'll flash CWM and see if it will work with that.

Well...in the official TWRP forum thread, they said for us T-Mo Note users to use the i717 AT&T, so that's what I installed. Maybe i'll try rolling back to an older version if that's possible.
Just Google "twrp sgh-t879" and the first result is the official page for this device
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/113
The top of the page says 2.4, but the links are for 2.3. Anyway, that is where I installed from.
When you search on TWRP site just type it "Sgh T879" and it should pop up
I do have one more question if anyone is still around.
There are new nightlies on Cyanogen's site (since the M2 release). Do those nightlies consist of everything included in the 4.2.2 M2 release, or are they just a continuation of the 4.2.1 nightlies?

Yes. They consist of everything in M2 plus continued new fixes/features and breakage depending upon what the devs are up to.
Yeah, it looks like the version of TWRP that I was using was the culprit. I rolled back to the one in the above post. and was able to flash the newest nightly.
Thanks for the help guys.
Three issues that seem to be recurring in the nightlies is whenever I put handcent in landscape, I can see another display behind the intended display. The other issue is that Bluetooth sometimes wants to turn itself off. The third issue is that a car dock icon shows up when I dock my phone in the car but no actual car dock software launches.

I have experienced the bluetooth issue, but not the others.
I switched back to the stock ROM anyway because CM10 wouldn't let me make calls properly.
Do you have an i717 or a t879? I haven't had issues with calling even with the loss of wifi calling.

Urgent Help Required.

I know a lot of people will curse me for opening this thread but i really need help. I have searched and could not find my query resolved and i have no other choice left except to post here,
So my dad randomly gave me Galaxy Note (Indian version) today. I mean, this phone is 3 years old. Anyway, i have Sony Xperia L and Xperia SP as my daily drivers and flashing Roms, kernels is quite easy on them as i only require flashtool. I have never before used a samsung product. So, i do not have a clue on how to root it and flash CM/AOSP on it.
I searched quite a lot and came upon a rooting guides and Philz kernel but i have no idea what to do.
Any help would be appreciated, all i want to do is flash a custom Rom (CM 10.1, CM11)
Android 4.1.2 sucks on this beast.
Android: 4.1.2
Baseband: N7000DDLS6
Build No.: JZO54K.N7000DDLSC
UPDATE: So i flashed a .zip:- PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.11.2-signed and voila, i have root ;
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Regards,
Ishaan
Didn't you try the cm installer app?
Anyway once you have Philz kernel installed, you can flash the cm 10.1\10.2 zip from recovery. To flash cm 11 you will need to first install raw r4/5 kernel and then go with cm 11.
I appreciate your reply man
Yes I have his kernel the one I have named in the OP.
So I just need to flash cm10/10.1 from recovery?
No need to unlock bootloader or anything or flash a cm based kernel? :$

So i pretty much messed everything up.
I did as you said and download cyanogenmod installer on both my note and laptop. Everything was going fine and all files were downloaded.
But all of a sudden, CM installer on PC said something like device not found. And on note, there was the CM logo. So i pressed retry but the problem persisted.
So i turned of cm installer, removed battery from device and turned it on. Below the Samsung Galaxy note, there is a yellow triangle and after that the screen goes blank. No samsung or CM bootlogo.
I tried and i am able to get into recovery and download mode. What do i do guys? :'(
Just help me get back to stock and ill be happy.
Thanks in advance
N7000 does not have a lock bootloader at all.

EDIT: So flashed CM10.2 (4.3.1). Finally the phone is working. Flashed it manually through recovery.

[Q] i9305 stock rom without boat ware?

I see there is so called stock roms with boat ware removed but most seem to have lots of other changes are they really stable as in exactly like stock? I am also not sure how I know which one was my phones original stock. I bought it on eBay and it's had various roms flashed. So ideally I would like to have it unrooted and just the bloatware removed but maybe that's not possible so rooted and no bloatware would be ok. Thanks

Most of the stock roms in the development section are quite stable and all the info about removed bloatware is also stated in the threads of those roms.
You can find your original stock rom at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ or http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9305, according to your country and carrier (the country where you live is your official firmware, doesnt matter that you have bought it from ebay and what firmware it had on it before). After you download the firmware flash it with odin, but be warned about KNOX bootloader on 4.3 official firmwares! If youre not knoxed yet, you can update to 4.3 stock rom without getting the knox bootloader with this Rom.
If you prefer your own official firmware, you need to remove the bloatware by yourself using a file manager with root acces. Be careful with what you delete if you gonna do so! always READ EVERYTHING carefully and do lots of RESEARCH :good:

Yes thanks unfortunately I do have the Knox warranty void 1 message swerev a2 think it says as well I thought it might mean I'm in trouble. I hear you can't reset it so I can't go to any official firmwares now?
I really need stability I thought cm 10.1 would be stable but there's lots of crashes... by pretty stable you mean cm 10.1 pretty stable type thing for the boat ware removed roms? Want to find something near or as good as official...thanks.
EDIT: OK so hmm getting some mixed messages reading about it all but basically I went from 4.3 stock to cm11 then to carbon rom and finally to cm 10.1.3 so I think I can go back to stock 4.3 using any uk based stock from Sammobile? Not sure which would be best yet but I am with three so I might do the h3g one. Or possibly a rom with bloat removed 4.3 or above... Guess the warranty is gone now...and hopefully I'll be ok for any upgrades in the future...

What rom do you mean exactly?, I dont have a rom that i made myself yet..
you can go any time you want back to 4.3, custom or official doesnt matter both is possibble, just be rooted and have the latest philz recovery installed or any other recovery.

I meant the one in your Sig . I might try that then maybe end up on stock. One thing was I was hoping to be able to unroot it on stock as I have a banking app that won't run on rooted devices .

Oh you mean the sites of those official firmwares or the recoverys :good:
I actually have no idea how to unroot it except for flashing official firmware 4.3 with odin, but the bloatware wil still be there unfortunately unless you find another way to do this
Can't boot into recovery mode or anything on mtk 6575 device
My Tecno D5 which has an Mtk 6575 chipset
got bricked after installing a font app and I
decided to use mtk droid tool to flash an
automade cwm recovery on it while its still
bricked. To cut the story short, after the whole
process of using another similar devices boot.img
and recovery.img to flash the automade recovery
on my device, my phone won't even get to
stock recovery(all I get is just a blank white
page after the normal logo at boot) .It also gives
me this when I try booting up.... Pls!!! a swift
reply wouls be appreciated as I'm just a learner
at this.

Ok thanks and I meant this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-amcha-rom-v5-00-simply-customizable-t2619670
Looks like a Rom. But does look a little more complex than usual ! I might try that first. But as long as it won't brick my device I might have to flash a stock and unroot depends on many things. Thanks.

On I'm on the same rom as your signatures rom. And nothings gone wrong so far. This might be the one for me! Fingers crossed.

personally i find amcha rom to be the most stable between the other 4.3 roms, using it almost 2 months and no fc's, freezes, random reboots etc. so far! :fingers-crossed:

Sounds good but I usually avoid new updates at first I prefer stability to a certain extent so you can't just update it? You have to do a fresh install? Anyway I'm on it now and it is very stable compared with the other roms I've used - very nice. Not sure if I did all the options correctly but I'll have to test...Still getting weird white patches on this xda form web pages in chrome...had this with every Rom I tried...not quiet so bad with this Rom but still there...strange only happens with this Web site too?!
