[Q/REQ] CWM for SM-G730W8 variant? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been looking everywhere and I can't seem to CWM for the SM-G730W8, so can anyone port a version of CWM for all of the Canadian users? I've read about installing CWM with fastboot but I don't understand it and I'm not sure if I need to have a CWM that works for my phone. Also can anyone tell me if Recovery Builder works or can someone teach me to use it? Thanks in advance guys.

Has anyone with a SM-G730W8 or SM-G730A or SM-G730V tried using Flash Gordon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250555 to flash scripts? I want to flash pure performances x http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360670 has anyone tried to flash this or can anyone try and tell me if it works? my SGS3 Mini is being repaired by Samsung atm so i can't test anything until it gets back, which could take a few weeks.

Well Flash Gordon only works with some zip files; I don't know why. Kn0x0ut http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550120 is a good alternative to Flash Gordon and possibly CWM since we still can't unlock out bootloader. I've been looking around and I found that the s4 mini has a method of installing CWM and unlocking the bootloader through the process but I'm not sure if it works. I don't really want to test it because it would be a hassle to have to unbrick my phone and download all of my apps again if this method doesn't work. The reason I think this might work is because it works with the Canadian version of the S4 mini(SGH-I257M) and that's different from the normal s4 mini(GT-I9195). Since the SM-G730W8 is a Canadian phone that was released at the same time as the SGH-I257M there's a chance that their bootloader's can be unlocked in the same way. If it works for the SM-G730W8 then it would work for the SM-G730A and SM-G730V. Here's the link to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 . The developer and I are not responsible for any bricked phones. If you want to test this go ahead and be sure to report back here to tell us if it works. Good luck if you decide to test this. I might test it in the summer when I have time but I can't risk bricking my phone at the moment and I might even buy I new phone soon because this phone is just not meeting my needs for gaming.

BTW Samsung didn't repair my phone. they said they made "mechanical adjustments" to it but it doesn't matter what they did because my phone still has dead pixels around the screen. I'm just pointing this out because Samsung is really trying hard to lose customers now lol. First they install KNOX to all of their devices, then they lock the bootloaders on our phones to the point where it's near impossible to unlock and then they don't do anything when you send your phone in for repairs -_- I think I'm done with Samsung.

I likely shouldn't be posting in an older thread, but I felt it important to notify. The S4 mini recovery that you linked to was the only one that came close to working on my SM-G730W8. It booted into a very buggy and dysfunctional version with a dimmed screen and a constant vibration on. it was useless, but is was the only custom recovery I could get to boot.
I should also note that previously on the stock 4.2.2 firmware the boot loader was locked, and it would just boot loop any custom recovery. After installer the new stock 4.4.2 firmware, the boot loader appears to be unlocked, because recoveries don't seem to boot loop, and as I stated above one of them actually booted. My issue is that I can't find a recovery that actually works properly for this device, likely because it's been locked up until this point. I'll keep searching, and if need be I will have to try and make my own.

SM-G730W8
can ı ask a question ? is i8200 and SM-G730W8 same phones ?

I don't believe that they are the same phone. Otherwise, when I tried the recoveries designed for them, than it would have loaded.

Question is quite simple - trying to load spanish as a generic language support in the canadian version g730w8...
Cannot find a way to load it up. I figure that i747m can be converted somewhat to t999 american version..
can g730w8 s3 mini be converted to GT-I9195L the latin american version to add language support if so How?
Are there any simpler ways to go by this?
I do not want to use morelocale or other apps to just enable half half support but rather change the whole device into a spanish version..
Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks in advance..

Unfortunately, you cannot convert the SM-G730W8 into the GT-I9195 because the hardware of the 2 devices are different. If you flashed a GT-I9195 ROM to the SM-G730W8, you would brick your phone. I personally have no experience with changing to entire system's language to Spanish so I don't really know how to point you in the right direction.

[Q] How can i determine which ROM to use if GT is freezing at boot?

Hey all.
I´m kinda stuck here, did some research, but could not find a solution anywhere.
What happened: i left my tab run out of battery, and after i recharged it the tab wouldn´t finish booting. it was stuck on the Samsung logo, which i found out that is quite a common problem.
GT version: i have a brazilian, unbranded GT-P1000L (3g, wifi, tv (dig + analogic), etc).
I´ve tried to flash a few different rom´s, but it didn´t work. I´ve tried to follow K0sh´s guide but didn´t work for me.
Can someone help me on which ROM to use and the specific method should i use to flash it?
Thanks in advance!

You could flash Boca rom as it now supports ALL the p1000 variants including L and N...
Humberos is the one you need to flash these variants first, You should be ok with any of the GSM roms that say for p1000L/N but I know Boca supports yours.
Not sure about any others though...
If all else fails, might be worth a try...

First, find a recovery, cwm or twrp, for your device. Flash that with Odin. Then find a rom for your device. Put that on your sd card. With your recovery, cwm or twrp, flash it. I have an i957 so don't know what's available for the 7320. I think there is limited support for the 7320 but look in the development forum.

The only thing that you can try is to find a rom for your device (t899m) and flash it...
I didn't understand how you pass the signature check from the flasher...
Hope you find a rom out there....

I don't know if there are any t899m roms out there, but that's what you would need to reflash to get your phone working again, like tooly said.

Hello i would like to know if you find à solution about your problèm because i checked all the internet and i nerver found à solution
Tank you
You tried to flash a GT-I8750 ROM to a SGH-T899M. What happened is... exactly what I, or almost anybody else on this forum with any experience flashing phones, would have told you would happen. I'm sorry dude, but you are SOL until/unless you can find a T899M ROM. The differences between the two phone models are subtle but they're more than sufficient to make the ROMs incompatible.
I'm sorry for your phone, I hope you find a solution

HTC Butterfly S / 9060 Dual SIM - ROOT China Unicom

Hi,
I bought this mobile in China,
so far I couldn't root this mobile
I brought it to "hboot..with unlocked and tempered sign" with fastboot
but couldn't enter to Recovery mode ( changed over 10 different versions of clockworkmod recovery, and twrp)
Checked the Chinese websites , all of them don't have an answer how to root this mobile.
did anyone succeed?

As I know, there is no version of twrp/cwm for 9060 model here, as there are no users, everyone has either 901e or 901s. You'll need to look on chinese forums.
tsokh is right, the 9060 is a completely different phone from 901S/E. Unfortunately for you, that means you're most likely out of luck. If you can get your hands on a dump of the stock recovery, it might be possible to build TWRP for your phone, but I can't guarantee that.
can you upload boot for 9060?
i tried to install recovery, but now phone can not boot at all T_T
it means .. that there is no chance to get stock rom for htc butterfly s 9060 ?

[Q] Root and Custom ROM on Verizon HTC One Mini 2/HTC One Remix

Hey guys,
So I recently got the HTC One Remix (the Verizon version of the HTC One Mini 2) and I would like to root it and install a custom ROM for it (preferably Cyanogenmod). The problem is verizon makes it hard to do any of these things and sadly switching carriers isn't really an option any time soon so I am trying to make do.
HTC-Dev reportedly won't work with verizon phones and many of the solutions for the HTC One Mini 2 don't work for the Remix even though they are essentially the same phone. Cyanogenmod has the HTC One Mini 2 listed as a supported device but I am not sure if that will work with the Remix because a carrier is not specified.
I have yet to see anyone who has had any luck, so is there anyone out there at all who is running a custom ROM on a rooted HTC One Remix? If so, what did you use to obtain root (sunshine maybe?) and what custom ROM are you running?
I'm majorly new to this sort of thing so hopefully the solutions are relatively easy so I don't end up bricking my phone.
Any help at all would be much appreciated!

As far as I can see there aren't many hardware differencec between the two phones. The only problem is that at this point there is no other way of unlocking these phones then trough HTC dev. I don't think there is a lot of development going on with unlocking with other methods. How do you know HTC dev isn't supporting your device? Did you check if "All other supported models" in the list?

It a verizon exclusive and HTC Dev doesn't work on verizon phones. The carrier blocked it. There's also a disclaimer somewhere deep on the htc site.
Thanks though. I'm just frustrated because I like the phone but I also really want to root it. I've tried a couple of the easier methods like sunshine and towelroot and those don't work I'm only on 4.4.2 but with my low skill level in this area I'm not sure if there's much I can do. I know s-off and root aren't the same thing but that's supposed to make it easier to find a way to achieve root right?
Aha then i'm afraid there isn't much you can do. Only wait for s-off because but I don't think it is goanna happen. My previous device is a One X and they had a huge user/developer base but never achieved s-off. It seems HTC really did a good job at closing this down.

HTC One mini 2/remix stock recovery
Hi. I might be able help you here.
Here is a link to what I'm pretty sure is the stock recovery. Note this dumb forum won't let me post links, so reassemble this yourself..
h t t p s
w w w . androidfilehost . c o m
/?fid=95784891001615233
Can't remember the exact cmd line.. something like adb flash recovery <file>
Now for the rom, I'll have to see if the link I got it from is still valid when I get home. There's a guy 'jcase' I think on the IRC that uploaded his personal backup that worked for me.
To be clear, the rom is for the HTC One 'remix' - Verizon's branded HTC one mini 2. There is NO working cyanogenmod that I know of.
btw you will need the TWRP recovery to restore from the rom backup when you get it, so the stock recovery might only be useful if the flash still has the recovery image on it.
Certainly worth trying first.
Good luck,
-M
Xda Devs, please we HTC one remix users need a custom Rom and s-off for our device.... We would really appreciate it if you help us
