Hi, I posted about this on another thread, but was then told that there is a forum for the S3. I would like to root my S3 mini GT-18190N, running 4.1.2. Its still under guarantee so it needs to be able to unroot.
Somebody mentioned CydiaImpactor, as it would be the easiest. So I installed to my mac, ticked both usb debugging and accept unknown sources, and ran the program. Within seconds I got an error, 'Error signature bugs unavailable'.......which I posted to the thread, and heard nothing from there and still havent about what that meant. I eventually found out that it means the bug has been fixed. But that is all I got.
I just wondered, what does that mean, does it affect any other ways of rooting? I found another rooting program on here, was given the the stock firmware for my phone but that needs to be unlocked. I did ask about whether the same problem would affect that firmware, but no answer. It seems the advice given on the first thread I started, about taking this to the correct forums needs to be done, which is why I am asking here. Sorry for multiple posting its not spam, its on advice from members on here.
I am a complete novice, never rooted before. So could anybody show me a root system that works for my phone.
Thank you

hi bro, maybe i will buy this s3mini because i notice that it cost only 114.50 euro in my country, more than 50% less than the official price
so...
about root:
you can root the s3mini flashing the firmware with odin
else you can use cydia impactor(be sure to download the latest version from official websites)
i notice that samsung patched the masterkey bug exploited by cydiaimpactor in other galaxy phone but i dont know about s3mini 18190
however i rooted an s3mini of one of my friend s1 months ago, he has never made a firmware update and after he enabled debug usb and installed driver it work! and got root access on his phone, after root you CAN'T do ota update! you an use odin however maybe samsung upgrade to kitkat android 4.4
did you do some firmware update?
-Install TWRP (this video might be of help)
-enter recovery mode and reboot. TWRP will ask you whether you want to root or not
Hi, before I did anything I took a copy of the phone which I have stored on the laptop, windows 7. Then with CWM rooted the phone, and installed a ROM I found. The first time it didnt work, so I had to find another ROM, and install that. This ROM works but its not from my Carrier, which is EE/Orange. The Base version ends in AMJ2, which I dont seem to be able to find to get the correct ROM. The Build Number I have which is the ROM is DMod v6. It works, but its causing problems with Samsung. I have given hope of getting back to the original, but if I could get it to work with EE, it would be better. DModv6 is a US based ROM.
I hope I have explained it ok, its the first time I have done this, so not sure. Please ask for more details.
Sorry it took me so long to answer, have not been very well.
Thank you for your help
What do you mean by it not working with EE/Orange? What functionality do you not have?

As I have already mentioned, its a US based ROM, which only recognises T-Mobile UK. My phone keeps loosing the connection all the time. and I have to reconnect. T-Mobile UK is the US version of T-Mobile even though we have T-Mobile in the country, but without the UK at the end of it. And believe me it is not working properly. The phone itself does work, its faster, the battery life is much longer than when it was on EE. But I am also now having problems with Samsung, they have stopped me from using their software, because they say my phone is not using the correct software.
My first try, I did get Kit Kat running, but without the CAMERA, it wouldnt work. But there again, it was on a US based ROM, and had problems keeping the connection going. That was awesome but without the Camera, it was a bit useless. If I could get a ROM thet had either EE or Orange,

Hey mate,
Try to use Maclaw's Recovery and KitKat ROM. They work perfectly! Flash Maclaw's recovery first (TWRP) and then wipe cache and dalvik and then flash the kitkat ROM (CM 11).
find them all here: maclaw.pl/downloads/ (stupid 10 post rule for new accounts doesn't let me post the link to HELP the user (johnmwc2)
---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------
Also the reason that your phone has gone all crazy is because of the ROM you flashed (US version) probably only supports the US frequencies which is why you only get t-mobile network (in some places) as the frequencies change in each location as the phone masts give out different frequencies in different locations according to their surroundings (some frequencies penetrate walls much easier but may not go as far and vice versa).
Im 70% sure the ROM is the problem. the other 30% is me thinking maybe the ROM might not have anything to do with allowing the phone to receive phone signal ( in terms of SOFTWARE not hardware - before anyone tries flaming me). My other instinct tells me maybe its the baseband/modem version thats incompatible witht the US ROM?
just use Maclaws KitKat and TWRP!
They work a treat! :laugh:

Hi all,
I've purchased a samsung captivate from United States and bring it to italy where I'm using with Wind operator.
I'm starting thinking that it was the worst purchase that i've never made.
First of all, I've unlocked at&t sim restriction and it was the only think went fine.
In italy I had time to test the phone and I've noticed the full unworking gps feature: position was never catched and just 1 or 2 satellites was found with low signal.
I'm trying to use samsung kies to upgrade the firmware before install a custom rom but samsung kies doesn't found the phone! (on win 7 or xp the fault is the same.. Mtp driver not installed correctly or kies says that phone is not supported!)
Moreover, updates by OTA don't work because the updated tool fails to connect to at&t server!
I'm really sick for all of that.. The last think I can do is to root the phone and install a custom ROM but I'm afraid that gps still doesn't work.
What do you think about this?
You don't need to update to install a custom rom. So I wouldn't stress too much about it. Make sure you back up the folder which contains the unlock information!! I made that mistake.
Many roms out there try to fix gps issues. For now, many of us (including me) have awful gps capabilities.
Edit, I should say that many roms vastly improve the GPS, so after you've read up on flashing and want to give it a try, it's probably your best bet.
Sent from Captivate, sorry for the brevity.
I don't know if your experience with the original firmware is the same that i have but my gps is not working at all. I can't understand how they can sell a phone with this buggy behaviour.
However, if it does not work also with the new firmware may I flash back original firmware for at&t / samsung assistance? I don't think so but maybe you are more informed than me.
Have you tried installing the gpsjm9 files with clockwork? Makes even stock gps better.

Hi, all XDA users.
I've been waiting to post my problems here and tried a few things I could to fix then with no success.
Here's what happened.
I bought a Captivate in february in an eletronics store in Miami, and since I am from Brazil, at the time my only concern was to make sure the device was unlocked, so I tested my sim card and was OK.
So my problems started as I went back to my country, the phone works good, but some issues appeared and they are kind of major for a device like that. Here they are:
I can't download from the market ever since I bought the phone. From a wifi conection or 3G . That was disturbing me so I did the factory reset and that allowed me to use the market for a while, something like 10 minutes maybe, before started giving me the "download was unsuccessful" error. And I did the factory reset a few times . But that was only a taste .
I also can't update my phone from the 2.1 eclair to 2.2 froyo or whatever is available, through Mini Kies, always getting the "unregistered device" message, before anyone asks I tried that in a Win XP and a Win 7 64 .
I tried to do the update several times but I was never able to enter download mode on the phone.
I installed some apps using the Sideload Wonder Machine, since I wasn't able to do it using SDK tools . Perhaps because of the Win 7 64?
So I decided to leave the IPhone for this device for its greater hardware capacity and because of the Android OS overall improvement, but I can't do much with it now, and since I am totally noob, I don't really know if my device was rooted before I bought, I don't know If the best thing to do is to flash stock and start over.
Didn't flash because I am afraid of bricking it.
The one thing I know is that I was able to get rid of all the crap from AT&T and nothing changed in my phone, and I heard that I needed to be rooted to be able to do what I did.!?! Is that true? Please help.
Here are some info about my phone.
Firmware version: 2.1 update 1
Kernel version : 2.6.29
Samsung SGH-I897
Baseband Version : I897UCJF6
Thanks all for your time .
Kies Mini is for US updates. Did you try the full version of Kies? Might work for you there.

Will flashing a new modem help? Did you check network settings? Call company and switch to that region. I don't know. Just some suggestions.

I did try the full version, but I will do it again in a XP version of windows and tell what happens .
I am downloading it from the brazilian samsung domain (.com.br) .
I tried again to use the regular Kies but didn't work.
It kept saying my device is not supported .
Funny thing is that in the Kies website, as you change the country flag in the bottom of the screen, the supported devices also changes, and in Brazil there is only a "Wave" called line of devices, while seems that the cappy I can only find in Canada. My point is that the Captivate IS supported.
I had a similar problem when a bad ROM flash borked my IMEI and product code. Chances are good that whoever unlocked your phone ended up screwing this up. Check out this guide to restore a specific IMEI to the device.
Also, you won't find the Captivate supported outside of the US or Canada, since it is only sold under that name by a few specific carriers (in the US, only AT&T carries it). Outside the US, Samsung mostly pushes other Galaxy S phones. Still the same "family" of phones, but there are differences between them.

Thank you so much. When I first had the problem I figured this was one possibilitie, but the salesguy assured the phone was "factory unlocked", so no one could've laid their hands on the device to screw it up like that. Your info was very valious, I will try to do the restore and let you know.
I recently purchased a Galaxy Note (Unlocked) and am loving the device. I was reading online that there was a newer open european firmware (LA3) but was perplexed as my phone was saying there are no upgrades for it. I installed Kies (the UK version) and it updated it's self to 2.2 yet it still does not show any newer firmware than what is on my phone (KKA).
Is there a way to force Kies to let me update? or am I missing a step (I never did create a samsung account).
Thank you in advance...
Hi there,
I also recently purchased a Note, and have been spending FAAAR tooo much time lurking on this forum trying to work out whats what with rooting/roming and all things GNote.
Fairly new to all this android malarky and tbh i'm kinda just responding to your question as a way to clarify what, i have, thus far, gleaned from by lurksome xda ways! And as an attempt to stop lurking so much and try and give back some of the understanding xda has given me.
Your question is something I was also rather confused by, but from what I understand - It seems that Samsung rolls out OTA and Kies updates to phones with different CSC codes at different times.
I think it is only the German (DBT) phone which has had the latest LB1 update. I know that my XEU phone is also still on KKA, with no ota or kies updates available.
From what I understand, the way one gets the updates without rooting is through flashing them with a Windows app called PC Odin with the phone in download mode.
Or via rooting your KKA rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
and then flashing the updated firmware with either Mobile Odin or Clockwork Mod.
In all cases I believe you must download the firmware from either the sammobile site or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
If any (or all!) of that is totally wrong - please someone with greater experience wade in and put me straight, but I just thought that seeing as no-one else had responded - i'd try and make something of all the hrs i've spent lurking on here since i got this phone
Anyhow I'm sure if you just follow the links i've posted to the brilliant work of Dr Ketan - you won't go far wrong
Personally, I've not actually put any of this to the test yet - wanna make sure I really do know my arse from my elbow or in this case - my dalvik from my build.prop before I go messing with a £500 phone....

I appreciate the help to answer your question you are in part correct (from what I can gather). Samsung does issue updates based on CSC codes and there is nothing for the UK CSC code. However they also release what is called open updates. Meaning any carrier in a given country can use a open update for that country. Beyond that they release what is called open European updates that any unlocked phone in Europe can use.
My question is the latest open European update is LXA or LLA or something like that which is farther along than the KK5 I am on. Since it is open European I should be able to update to it I would think. There could be something to the fact that the UK is considered part of the EU so it might not fall under even an open European release and if that is the case than so be it.
I am just trying to find out why my unlocked international version of the note can not seem to update to the latest open European update
Ok, so from the sounds of it - i think your definitely better informed than me on Samsung update protocol
Haven't heard any of that before. I was under the impression that the XEU code was the unlocked open euro code....
Anyway, just thought i'd let u know that i took the plunge today - deciding that I trusted XDA more than Samsung to update my phone
Rooted my stock KKA rom using dr ketans posts as my guide, then flashed the stock LB1 firmware and have since flashed Franco's kernel.....all seems well so far
Although one thing i did notice is that my Antutu score was significantly lower after flashing Lb1, but before flashing Franco's kernel (haven't tested since)....
Anyway good luck waiting for an official update - in my limited experience - I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for OEM's to issue OTA updates...

This is cool. But how to find whether my phone is locked or not?
And what about if we try to involve the Samsung support on this question? I'm also stuck with kk5 and i'm also in Europe.

If you want to know what region your phone is from plug it into the computer after you have installed samsung kies. Once you do if you look at the screen for your phone you will see three sets of letters and numbers. The last one in the string will have your CSC once you get that do a google for where it is from.
If you are on kk5 like me then you probably have a UK code.
An phone is unlocked by default when you import it from Europe as they use a different model for cell carriers than we do in the states.
The simple way to get the latest updates is....change your CSC with *#272*imei# in the dialer pad to the lastest update ( csc)! You don't need root or odin or mobile odin. Just change your country code. This will wipe your phone...but after restart you will get a promt to update your software as soo. As wou are connected to a wifi. There are many post about it...the csc change is described in sgs2 foruns and all over the net. About the country code, please visit sammobile.com and in firmware section you will find detailed info about those codes.
P.S. My note was originaly in XEH ( open Hungary), I'm from Romania so I changed my CSC to Open Germay (DBT-debitel) and after restart i got 2 consecutive updates.
Hope to help, sorry for my bad english

The easiest way to get updates is via XDA. Download PC Odin, and choose whatever Rom you fancy from the first sticky thread in Note development.
Hello,
in my company we are developing an android app. The lowest android version this app supports is android 4.3.
The company bought several testing devices including a AT&T branded Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. With Android 4.2.2 (Buid Number: JDQ39.I9295UCUAMF3)
I tried it for a while now, but I can't get the OTA Update to work. It says "Software update interrupted. Try again in 24 hours".
I can bypass the 24h lock by changing the date of the phone. But even after ~30 tries the phone is not updating.
There is no SIM Card in the phone. Is a AT&T SIM Card needed to update the device? I am not able to get one, because I am located in Germany.
Can I update the phone manually with Kies or something?
I don't have admin right on my machine so I need to know what to do, before I contact the admin to install a required software.
Could a blocked port be an issue? I do have access to the internet, but if Samsung (or AT&T) uses some non standard port, my company could be blocking it.
(Root is not an option.)
Kind regards
Cliff

Hi Cliff. I can't say for sure, but my guess is you can't access the OTA because you're not in the right region (someone correct me if I'm wrong). As far as I know, you shouldn't need a SIM to update, again could be wrong. More importantly, there are other ways to update. You could probably try Kies, but I wouldn't recommend it, it seems like users always have issues with Kies. I would strongly recommend you try updating the phone with Odin, a tool by Samsung that let's you change around your phone's firmware (among other things) when the phone is in download mode.
There is an exhaustive guide linked to here that thoroughly explains how to go from any version of android (official, for this phone) to any other version. In simpler terms, that link shows you how to manually update, which is what I think you're looking for. Also the files you'll need to download are located here. Hope I've helped, and good luck updating! :good:
Oh, just re-read your caveats: you almost certainly don't need a SIM for Odin to work, and you definitely don't need root either.

Thank you for your answer. Yes, maybe AT&T does region lock the update -.-
I've used Odin on my old Galaxy S2 some years ago.
I'll have a look into it and decide if this is the way to go.
Odin will do it as long as there are full install files for you to use.

You need an AT&T SIM card in the phone in order to install AT&T OTA updates. You can't use Kies to update because AT&T won't let Samsung post AT&T firmware on Kies. So your only option is to use Odin and the guide posted above.
Hello, i bought my phone ages ago. No problems what so ever(exept gone through 2 new batteries already, but i assume its my idiocy).
Gone through rooting, CM12 (5.0.0 (LP) i believe?) and then installed original fresh ROM. Now factory settings and not rooted for last 6 months or so.
At Christmas i bought myself a flip cover with fancy little useless window (known as S-View).
Installed it and everything looked good until few hours later, phone started popping back cover warnings, everytime i unlock the phone.
Then got it worse, phone started to woke up itself and pop up the warning, then lock itself again and over and over again.
Removing the cover worked, then i installed it and it worked again. Then i changed SD and it started that sh*t again!
So i bought new SD card hoping it will solve situation (ADATA 64GB, UHS1, Class10) after reading stuff about frying SD cards and error codes that trigger the warning.
Here i am, phone keeps doing that over and over again. Thought i would find help in here, or somewhere else, but no good.
Can someone help me?
Phone is used, last owner "didnt fully ulitized its functions" so he sold it to me. Phone runs on 4.4.2 (KK) which is kinda sad for me, because i keep waiting for official update (im stupid).
Could some custom kernel solve this? I like TouchWiz (bash me again) and i found having native functions (like sensors, ir controller, screensharing and other comfy fat stuff built in) rather usefull than bloatware, so thats why i left CM.
Any help appreciated. And excuse my english.
Same problem, on 4.4.2 without root and waiting for official update. I have tried every advice from the internet to no avail.
I have learned to live with it and hope that with a firmware update it will go away.
So, I don't know why you have this problem (I never bought a flip cover for my phone,I hate it), but you are for the third time (I think) a stupid (no offense) because now there's the CM13 with a bit more feature supported than CM12. However you can try to flash Touchwiz 5.1.1 and see what happen, if you didn't yet. It doesn't matter if the update it isn't released yet for your country, just flash an update for the G800F.
If you are root you can use the link2sd app and freeze a system app called PopupuiReceiver and the back cover warning will dissapear.
I hope this helps you. Sorry for my English.

Ehy man, Youmobile didn't say nothing yet but they are 100% official and you will not lose your data if you download Cyprus 5.1.1 and flash it via Odin. You can find all 5.1.1 release on Sammobile and if you download a Vodafone branded rom you need a PIT file. Try it.

I got T-mobile(sim) but completelly operator-free rom and i would like to make it, like it is.
In another words, can you tell me if the other xxxxBOLx versions will work instead of my xxxxAOlx version?
I'll go for operator free, as i mentioned before, so the "PDA" version as sammobile says is the only one thing that bugs me about flashing my phone.

The only thing that i can say to you is that i flashed the Italy Vodafone rom (with PIT file) and it works well. (I'm from Italy so you can understand). However every G800F rom can be flashed (with PIT file if it's a branded rom like Vodafone). This rom has G800FXXU1BOL4 version and it works with every G800F. So, I recommend you the Cyprus one because is no-branded and it doesn't need the PIT (also the Germany no-branded one but is less updated). However you can install the Vodafone one but you need the PIT file. (and I can give it to you)

Thats what i wanted to hear. Thanks :good:
So today i tried to flash. Successfully. System looks like it has more stability built in, visually, its almost like KK. The popup seems to be gone. Only one thing that surprised me "Google Play Service Error" which tends to stay in loop. Uninstaled and reinstalled, hopefully it will work. Sadly Cyprus is a Vodafone. So gonna find another, less annoying rom - Germany, atleast until my country gets official release.
For those who wanna flash, use AP tab in Odin (if you ever flashed before, the tab was called "PDA" now its AP - "Android Phone") and let the phone deal with itself, i panicked and reflashed twice, just because i was nervous.
Happy Easter.
Another edit: The German ROM has everyday bloatware in, however, it can be uninstalled without much pain, by simply dragging it up -> Uninstall. So far, so good. Cheers.
