How did you install recovery? What's the rom details? Do you want us to aim in the DARK?

You can't install CWM and TWRP at the same time. So my guess: you didn't install one of them successfully and that's the reason for the missing Backup option.
What Rom are you using? If stock rom go to Philz thread and download an install the correct kernel for your version. After that you'll have a recovery with backup options.

Sir i am a noob just trying to learning the things dont mind pls help me

As I said: go to Philz thread, download a Kernel for your DDLSC and install it. Then you can boot into recovery.
I do not like tools like this for these basic steps - so no help with the tool from me.
And:
please recharge your battery and don't ever try to do things in backup with a nearly empty battery

Sir I remember It Next time Sorry sir..
Can you Please provide me a Link of my kernel because in Philz thread there are Many Links and Infos i am Confusing a Bit sir
I hope U understand ( i already posted a screenshort of my kernel ) please provide me a Link so that i download and install it..
and one More Q sir.. if I install a kernel.. before it i have to backup my apps and messages ? or Not ?

Please no PM with the same questions. Asking and answering questions in public is the preferred way.
If you want to understand what you do you'll have to read the threads and try to understand what is written. The thread owner doesn't do this for fun or because he wants to waste time.
You'll find the kernel in post 3 of Philz thread, there is a link after "tw only:". This will bring you to dev-host and folder with different versions (the one with 5.11.2 contains your kernel).
And after downloading please follow the instructions how to install. It really isn't so difficult.
(A final one: please no "sir", absolutely not necessary and makes me feel like I'm at the wrong place)

May be better to download DDLSC rom and flash it via Odin to revert most of the changes done to system, recovery and kernel partitions.

[Discontinued] [HOW TO] Root, Stock, ODIN For P3113UECLK7

This is nothing more than a pre-rooted completely stock image that you would flash in Odin.
It is based off of this stock image: P3113UECLK7_P3113XACCLK7_HOME.tar.md5
Simply adds the SuperSU apk v0.99 and su binary.
From there you can chose to install busybox, flash a non-stock recovery, etc.
It DOES NOT wipe any data. So if you are coming from a completely different rom base then you will want to boot to recovery and factory reset.
This is good for getting back to known good state after you may have flashed something and now have weird behavior going on. Also good if you want to run stock but just have root for a few apps like adaway or tibu.
Instructions:
Extract the root66_xxx_.tar.md5 from the .7z file you downloaded.
Use Odin, put device into download mode, connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66_xxx_.tar.md5 you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let device reboot.
If you have issues flashing with Odin please ensure you are using the microusb cable that came with the device, users have had issues using other cables.
Choose One:
Download: root66_XAC_P3113UECLK7.7z - JellyBean 4.1.1
Download: root66_XAR_P3113UECLK7.7z - JellyBean 4.1.1

Few questions....
I see in your signature you had AOKP. Did you flash this direct from AOKP? This doesn't wipe data and since it goes back to stock its still trying to use all your /data from aokp. You'd want to boot into recovery and do a factory reset coming from a different rom base than stock.
Also I use the Region XAC stock file. There is also an XAR. Does anyone know the difference? Samsung-updates seems to list XAC as N/A for region while XAR as Cellular South but I think I read the opposite from someone on the forum here.
Nah haven't updated my profile in a while. I had actually come from stock 4.0.4 i believe in my case atleast that my battery simply wasn't charged well enough.

Close. That thread shows you step by step how to do it yourself using mobile Odin lite using original official unmodified update files. This thread seems to give you one file to flash with Odin. Haven't tried this file yet...yet.

There are a few differences. To use that thread your device has to be rooted. Here it does not.
In that thread you are using mobile odin to flash the stock file, then using recovery to flash root. Here root is pre-injected into the stock firmware. You can use mobile odin to flash this and be done. (unless you want a non-stock recovery etc).

Yes though you mention to use the XAR file and I've pre-injected the XAC. Outside of what you've said I can't find what region would be for what tablets. I'll post up the XAR as well and let the user pick.
XAR region uploaded..

I found this suggestion to be quite helpful. I was coming from Tsunami and found if it would not boot to go back and factory reset. Thanks!

Interestingly I am having a problem using TWRP to backup this ROM. TWRP FCs and the Tab reboots before any data is written to the SD card. It does create the named backup folder but dies early on in the backup process. Going to try CWM next but the backups created by CWM and TWRP are not compatible. TWRP has worked fine on all the other ROMs I tried. I need to perform more testing.

I have got exactly the same issue like this one when I was trying
root66_XAR_P3113UECLK7.7z - JellyBean 4.1.1
on my P3113. The tablet seems frozen at this stage and if I hold the power botton and let it reset, it will come back at the same screen with the progress bar unchanged.
My P3113 is with stock ICS ROM and rooted.
I cant do factory reset because when I trying to go to recovery mode, this screen shows up...

I got the same result as well, eventhough Odin said pass. Funny thing is I put in download mode again and flash this official firmware from France. The Odin said failed, but after I reboot all good.

You must have lost the root by flashing the official stock rom, right?
I was thinking to flash the stock ICS rom for P3113 someone post on this board also but don't want to go through the hustles to root it again

Yes, I lost root. But I end up flash USA official firmware again and used this root method . It's very easy, took 15 sec. I came from CM10.1 nightly, but want to try official JB from Samsung. Actually, it's smooth and fast. Maybe I stick to it, I am tired of update everyday for CM10.1.

Removing the my external SD card did the trick for me.

It looks like you are talking about i9001 or is it i9000?, so if you do not indicate what model you have from the beginning, you will get wrong directions

Reflash
1. You have to Install back the cwm by odin. Go to i9000 forum if your phone is i9000. If your phone is i9001 then go to i9001 android development.
2. Then search the ROM that you want (the best is cyanogenmod). Then im pretty sure the cyanogenmod from the development team got state the type of CWM use to flash the ROM.
Example, for this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2436670
The CWM used is v6.0.2.8
3. Download the CWM and ROM
4. Follow the instruction on how to install the CWM through odin step by step (must be patient)
5. Then follow the instruction on how to install the ROM (step by step)
6. You should be able to enjoy your phone like a new one.

ok let me tell you from the start, YES my phone is i9001 because i put the cwm for it and it worked (yes, 6.0.2.x , i dont remember that x but i know its name was patched or something like that)
so, i had cwm, root, and flashed a cyanogen mod 10.2 (alpha 2 i think) but i because i used a broken cable, i think the rom got corrupted
so i made a backup, wipe data/cache ,and i couldn't wipe dalvik i dont remember why.
so i flashed the rom and spent like 20 min on the cyanogenmod charging screen and i took the battery.
i tried liek 4-5 times and no change
so i tried to restore but i had the md5 error, because i dont have the adb thing to repair it i tried to flash stock.
so flashing it got stuck at amss.mbn (downloading)
so i tried changing the stock rom and now it got stuck at adsp.mbn (WHY?)
but now i have better news, i flashed a cwm recovery and it enters, but the same problem, when i flash cyanogenmod it charges endlessly and i dont want to flash stock firmware again... so?
INCREDIBLE EDIT: when i was writing it was just charging at the logo, NOW IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!, i think it was a CWM problem? because i flashed through odin a different version (6.0.x)
anyway thanks guys

yea.. as i said before now it works but i had another recovery , (newer and with the patch thing)
SO now everything okay? Good for you.. as i said, you have to follow the instruction very carefully. It includes all the version that they state. Matching the version of the software before start or else everything will become a mess. I experience that before.

1. You can try to flash a fresh stock via odin and in order to make a fresh installation
2. You can also try this CM11 version, compatible with CWM 5.0.2.6

What's happened?
Why restoring stock ends up in boot loop?
Could you provide a pc screenshot of steps you followed on odin?
Then we can help to solve the issue.

I think you have issues with Clockworkmod Recovery.
Do the following...
Fully reset your phone to stock. How?
Download and Copy CWM 5.0.2.6-Cooper.zip (Dev-Host, 5.42 MB) to SD Card
Power off your Galaxy Ace
Get into recovery mode by pressing Home+Power Keys.
Choose "apply update from sdcard"

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Select "CWM 5.0.2.6-Cooper.zip" and confirm the action.
Reboot system now
Again go to recovery mode by pressing Home+Power Keys.
Now you are successfully installed CWM 5.0.2.6!
Now Do not try to install a kitkat/CM 11 rom. Most of the CM 11 ROMs are designed to be installed from CWM 6.x.
So,
You need to check whether a CM 10.1 (android 4.2.2) rom is working well on your device. Try this one for example.
If you have this CM 10.1/4.2.2 without any problems, you can give a try to KitKat ROMs.
Try this ROM - [CM11] Kitkat For All [NIGHTLY-2014.02.22] by Salim El Yabouri
This one can be installed with CWM 5.0.2.6. There is no need to install CWM 6.x
Or There's a guide to make the cm11 roms to compatible with installation via CWM 5.x
Enjoy tasting KitKat! :laugh:

I had stock JB and I had this program in menu "Software update" and it was an 19-25 mb update..I downloaded and I installed the update then the phone rebooted and it went in cwm recovery. If I install a custom rom everything seems ok, after reboot it enter straight to recovery and I don't know why.

If you set up working stock JB follow this:
*prepare custom ROM, kernel and Gapps then copy to SD
*if you want CWM download this: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-p880.img, then copy *.img file to a folder where adb is installed and rename it to recovery.img
*boot to fastboot mode (adb reboot oem-unlock)
*install recovery in fastboot mode (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
*power off, then boot to recovery
*flash ROM, Gapps and kernel

I recommend you not to use this kernel, it is deprecated. Try without flashing different kernel first. Which CWM did you download? From link I gave?
EDIT: Have you done formats of /system, /data, /cache ?
You bugged out your device. OTA doesnt work properly with custom recovery installed. Reflash kdz to fix the issue,but try grabbing everything you need from via adb from recovery first as you may have to do hard reset from stock recovery which will format your internal sd (in case you dont know how to flash custom recovery via fastboot)

You can reflash or put phone to stock state with using lgmobile support tool. Just put phone in S/W mode (volume down and USB cable plug in) and in dropdown menu select update recovery

How to install a custom rom on my galaxy s3 mini?

Hi all,
i would like to ask how to install a custom rom onto my samsung galaxy s3 mini. I know there are many guides but i am a complete starter, i just made a switch from apple and i have no idea what they mean, even the clearest one.. I just want to update these devices to lollipop since they are still on 4.1.2 jelly bean. Omnirom or cyanogen or others, i dont mind, i just want an updated device. Step by step instructions on everything would be perfect thank you!! By the way, i dont have windows, only mac.
this would help me a lot in the future.
thanks

Hi, at first I suggest to you to choose between two roms: The Omnirom and the CM. Your choice depend only about what you want from your phone. The Omni one is pretty nice and it looks like more a stock rom. The CM is very customisable in a lot of stuff. If you are not very expert, I suggest to you the CM, because it's more easy to install. But decide at first what you need from your phone!

I’ll choose Cyanogen then. Thanks for the reply.
What you need to flash is:
- the original firmware
- Odin
- USB drivers
- CM (Odin version)
- gApps (Google Apps)
You can find the original firmware on sammobile.com, and you can find other sottware on novafusion.pl in the section . When you have everything we can start!

Is it ok if i get odin for mac? Because i'm a mac user. I'm not sure if this is official
techbeasts . com/2015/04/13/download-odin-jdoin3-mac/
I added two spaces between on the left and write of the dot because I'm not allowed to post links, idk why. Just remove the other two spaces thanks.
Two more things, I can't find the USB drivers or original firmware on novafusion. And please be patient as it will take a while to download these things. My internet has a whopping 200 kilobytes per second, yeah it's slower than a snail...
It seems that Odin for Mac doesn't exist, the software that you can find is only similar but not the original Odin. Maybe they are good software as well but I don't want to risk to brick the phone for a not fully compatible software... Don't worry: we do everything also without Odin, is just a little bit longer but it works.
At first reboot your phone in recovery mode (menu button, volume up, power botton than wait) and do the wipe of cache and than reboot it and wait.
When the Phone is ready go here and download the SuperSu (to root the device) https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
and copy the zip file in your phone, than, reboot again the device in recovery mode and select "instal ZIP" (or something like that, I don't remember exactly honesty and choose the zip that you downloaded. Reboot the phone and now if everything worked you should find an app called "SuperSU" in your drawer. After you got the root access, we can go to the next step
Oh i actually already rooted it with KingRoot, is it bad?

KingoRoot is also fine.
Regarding "Odin on Mac":
jOdin uses "Heimdall" which works fine with S3 Mini - so unless they messed up the UI completely (giving wrong commands to Heimdall) the tool works fine, too.
KingRoot is should be fine at the same. You just need the root access to flash the device from the recovery. I sugget to you to install the TWRP recvery if you don't have it yet. You can download it and flash it from the recovery (you have root access now) or you can download an app on Google Play store like rom manager or TWRP manager and install the recovery from the app. Then we can go to the next step
KaffeeKiffer thanks but i'll stick with Stefano's method . Ok i got TWRP, but i still can't find the USB drivers or the original firmware (it's not on SamMobile). And for cyanogen mod 12.1, do i now get the normal version, like not the odin one?
Yes, you have to download not the Odin version but the other one "recovery version". At the same you have to download and flash the TWRP recovery first (always "recovery version" of the download). It should be the same also if you flash the CM with other recovery but I read online that flashing CM via recovery, by the TWRP recovery is better.
1) Download and flash TWRP recovery
2) Wipe cache and clean everything
3) Download and flash
Now the next step will be installing gApps
MAJOR PROBLEM!!! PLEASE HELP NOW. It failed to install the zip, and when i try to reboot it, it goes automatically to twrp.. please see attached picture, please please help. it says E: Error executing updater binary in zip

KingoRoot is also fine.
Regarding "Odin on Mac":
jOdin uses "Heimdall" which works fine with S3 Mini - so unless they messed up the UI completely (giving wrong commands to Heimdall) the tool works fine, too.

I'll jump in long enough to point out that Heimdall/Odin is not functional under current Mac environments. SInce Mobile Odin is effectively obsolete for current devices/ROMs, Mac users often rely on fastboot and similar tools instead for what can't be accomplished via a good custom recovery such as TWRP.

Hi all,
i would like to ask how to install a custom rom onto my samsung galaxy s3 mini. I know there are many guides but i am a complete starter, i just made a switch from apple and i have no idea what they mean, even the clearest one.. I just want to update these devices to lollipop since they are still on 4.1.2 jelly bean. Omnirom or cyanogen or others, i dont mind, i just want an updated device. Step by step instructions on everything would be perfect thank you!! By the way, i dont have windows, only mac.
this would help me a lot in the future.
thanks

install odin on windows pc: http://depositfiles.com/files/m2n77b1vc
install samsung drivers on windows pc: http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117#none
get cyanogenmod 12.1: http://novafusion.pl/
get the odin version
when mobile powered off, hold volume down, home and power button. You get the downloadmode option on your screen, let go all buttons and press volume up button.
Now connect the phone to your pc with the usb cable and let odin find it.
Load the tar file in the downloaded zip file as pda and flash it.
If you want clockwork mod, install this as tar, also in pda flash option: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526789241
If your samsung doesn't work but you can still get into download mode, view next page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122548
and install a fail safe firmware according to your type of phone.

I don't have 12.1 running, but isn't TRWP 2.6.3 a bit low? I hope somebody with experience in that regard can help you.
But on Novafusion's site (which I assume you're flashing), the current version is 2.8.
Androidandy's version also worked great for me.

Thanks for the info - I tested it some time ago and have a windows PC, so no need to run it ever after.
I was just relying on my past experience.
What i don't understand is why the flashing went wrong, I did everything right, at least I think. Wipe everything and flash the rom, why didn't it work?
