[Q] for 4.1.2 root, what is the difference between build no.?

Hi,
I want to root my device, which i have upgraded recently to 4.1.2
the thing is, I found some information in root threads regarding build no. like XXAMA1, XXAMA2, XXAMA4 ...etc
what are the differences between them? if all of them are 4.1.2 JB?! will anyone work?
to make it easier, which thread can work to root my SG3mini device:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: I8190XXAMA3
Kernel version: 3.0.31-860525
Build number: JZ054K.I8190XXAMA3

You can just root the one you got. No need to re-flash the whole rom.

Here is also a very good explanation on these PDA/PHONE/CSC codes.

can you root with a 4.1.1 custom version on a 4.1.2?

Yes you can, but only if you make a factory reset first. Otherwise you'll have bootloops or force closed apps.

No it shouldn't be any problem. Factory reset makes sure there is no leftovers from previous install. Clears cache, settings, user data.

the one that you have http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178346 is this a root version?for the netherlands?can i use it on my phone?

Just flash a wipe.tar and then your firmware.
I never had to flash param.lfs to get it boot.
Once I had to pull the battery and power on again when it got stuck on boot after flash.

i did used it once that wipe.tar but get stuck on bootscreen.
do you need to wait long on bootscreen while flashing with wipe.tar?
and how does it work?just odin>pda,select wipe.tar>start?

Yes flash as pda. It's basicly the same as a factory reset.
If your phone reboots after, just put it in download again and flash firmware.

Afaik the param.lfs is mostly just a bunch of pictures. Don't know what it does, except loads the phone with startup/downloadmode pictures.

i dont get it.i have my 4.1.2 rooted now,but after flashing ,my phone doesnt boot.it only boots when i flash the PARAM file.i restarded my phone to check if that works and that works fine.i dont think this is a big problem,is it?
at first sight everything works fine.
WIPE doesnt work,and factory reset doesnt work either.is there a option to do this manually.i have clear master,is that the same?

thank you tys0n for your replies! i kept my CSC, didn't change it.. since i'm already having 4.1.2 (last firmware for s3 mini till now)
and followed this way to root my device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150979
and it worked
the only thing is, this way increased the flash counter! i dont know how is this bad, but i guess just if i want to give it to someone to check it, they will know, right?!
BUT I found other rooted ROM that they will reset binary count after flash to "none"! and will show firmware as "official" instead of "custom"..
anyway, good to learn and i'm saying all that just in case any noob like me saw this thread in the future maybe they can find one useful info or two
sorry TerenceTP7 that i can't help you.. still new to those things..
and thank you again tys0n

Sv: [Q] for 4.1.2 root, what is the difference between build no.?
Search triangle away here on xda. It's an app that will reset your binary count to zero

You need to be more specific as to why it failed, read the text on twrp's
screen which tells you a little bit about the cause of the failure.
Good luck!

Just extract the stock rom with 7-zip and you'll see the different IMG files, including boot.img.

I have to apologize to everyone for this not so smart post.? I had a few drinks in me and obviously wasn't thinking clearly.. ?
Before anybody says anything "no I'm not a drunk" lol. I just happened to have a few glasses of wine to many. I'm seriously a lightweight.. Anyway after my head cleared up I realized what to do. I've been an Android enthusiast for some time now and its rare that I ask for help.
I really appreciate the suggestions though and will be asking for this post to be removed..
I also appreciate you all not flaming me as well?

Reset After Every Reboot

Every time I reboot my phone, it resets to factory settings and I see the "Welcome" screen. It only does this when the time in TWRP is inaccurate (e.g. 10:03AM when it's 8:49PM). I've reinstalled twrp, reinstalled the ROM, locked and unlocked the bootloader, but nothing works. I just get the same blue screen.

I actually have the exact same issue

Anyone? (bump)

thats a strange issue you on custom rom? i dont have this device but i ordered it and this post getting me worried

captain here i had the same issue this morning when i tryed to reboot to add some mods on Octos Rom it's a bug in force encryption i really want my data to be secured and encrypted but at the same time it makes it hard to play with.
Solution : flash stock recovery then factory reset the phone

u should be worried this new encryption thing is awesome for normal users but it will make it hard for the devs

Do you have f2fs or extv4 partition? f2fs is currently having some issue..better to stay with extv4 for some time

It worths every penny keep it on rooted stable stock in my opinion

Unbrick Tutorial
OK, so far I've used this unbrick tutorial to get me completely back to stock (version 3.5.1) and now I'm waiting for the OxygenOS to finish the OTA. Will report back when finished.

4- flash stock recovery and wait for it to boot
Note : if u dont want to lose ur data try flashing TWRP 3.0.4 insted

1924-7 Metro E5 Plus lost imei and baseband

Ive been pulling my hair out trying to restore my IMEI for the past 2 days. I have the stock 8.0 firmware downloaded and can flash the phone back to stock no problem but no matter what I install, stock or custom rom, my imei is gone.
I believe the problem started when I was rooting the phone and followed a guide saying to use the e5 james twrp to boot to twrp and make a backup, which I have in my google drive. I got magisk installed etc and ended up wiping the phone, not realizing the encryption wouldn't allow me to get my files back. If I do anything other than a clean install it fails to decrypt and I have to restart into TWRP.
I don't have the original box and can't find the guys info that sold me the phone so I don't have the original imei handy.
Anyone have any thoughts or success getting their imei repaired?

Well I guess I'm going to try to rebuild the folder. Good news is I can see my IMEI from the boot barcode now and couldn't before so there's that.

Well I'm not sure how to proceed from there. If you do have a backup try to see about extracting it and seeing if it includes the persist folder. If not you may have to look around on what to do next.
The Moto G5s Plus I had the issue on shipped with Nougat and I flashed pixel experience rom and havoc OS for a while before flashing stock to sell it. When I did that I had lost my imei and had to hunt around until I found that thread I linked and followed it to fix the issue. Your issue may or may not be fixable the same way.

I have a twrp backup I believe is it but when restored it boot loops or says decrypt unsuccessful

i found the baseband bin file for tmobile,sprint,metropcs,boost for moto e5 plus
