Hi
Sometimes (not a lot), after a reboot, I'm facing an unknown baseband. Then I reboot again and baseband is back ...
I don't like that... Any idea of what it could be ?
Thx
Which kernel and ROM/firmware are you on?
Also, which phone do you have? C5302, C5303 or C5306?

Flash the baseband fix by divaksh(or smtgh) the zip will help improve any baseband issues you encounter

Sorry, I forgot that. It's a C5303 running 207fw. The ROM is from the country where I bought the phone (generic, not linked to an operator). But the firmware is from an operator and I debloat it.
My problem may be related to an excessive debloat but as it is a random issue it's strange. Hard to find out the reason of a non systematic issue.
Is there a minidump created when the phone reboot itself ?
Thx.
PS:
207 baseband is 8960A-AAAAATAZQ-40031007-21
Original after last ota update (205) was 8960A-AAAAATAZQ-40031007-20

Actually this fix flashes the 205 generic baseband. I'd like to know/understand why the baseband from 207 could generate issues. Because os related to an operator I don't use ??

Most likely yes
I would reflash your firmware. Probably debloated too much as you suggested yourself.
A generic version can be found here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1qUMupXz1l6a0wtcVV2bUxiS2M/edit

Thank you for the link. What means "Customized" ?
I just descovered that the links in /system/etc/firmware have no rights (set to - - - - - )
Can you tell me how are the rights on these links in your phone ?
It's strange because I flashed that using flashtools and did not touch that part making my rom.
Also, the baseband fix does not modify these links rights, so perhaps it's normal ?

Not quite sure mate. You might want to research more into this
Forget the links rights, it's a display bug in Es Explorer.
But the linls points to files in /firmware and I have no files in this folder. Is it the case for you ?

The files are hidden mate! with the *.filename* extension
You can't see those files with the normal root explorers

There's no need to start messing around in those folders...
The FTF file needs to be flashed using flashtool...and that's it!

Well, I used flashtools for my 207 ftf and I didn't touch anything in those folders.

Hey guys,
Got both these partitions now all I need is a dd image of the system partition from stock d3 so I can put in the SBF.
Please try this and let me know if it works:

Thats a link to the CRC of the test ROM, someone pointed that out to me earlier, thanks though. I'm on to looking for a dd of the system image, final thing I'm missing. All I have found so far are zips of the files which isn't what I'm looking for.
I'll let you know when the SBF is ready, more testers the better.

Be careful the rom I posted was for Galaxy Ace!!!
Yes, It's possible, I don't know in mini ... this is the GT-S5830 Q&A THREAD so...
but the fastest way to go back to stock is doing a backup before to use the custom, and then restoring it when you want to go back via custom RECOVERY, or FALSHING A FRESH STOCK ROM VIA ODIN
...and in Galaxy Ace it's possible to use directly the lastest firmware, "one package fw"
i know, im using ace right now.
the thing is i was failed revert back to stock using one pack firmware (on mini). am bit afraid it happens to ace either. but now it's all clear, thanks for all ur helps.
edit: whoaa, we can backup stock on ace, it s not recommended on mini. thanks again.

well, the best way to avoid all kind of troubles is flashing a fresh stock via Odin
I'm using a bareboned stock rom, I deleted all useless apps etc and I chaged the kernel and stock partitions from .rfs to .ext4, so I have a clean backup ready to restore in my SDCARD, so I can flash whatever I want, and then when I get tired I can always return to my clean previous rom and I don't need to use Odin
am a noob so...
1. change the kernel? even for lastest fw?
2. how to change the.rfs partition?

mm I guess what is your problem
maybe .rfs format , so try to convert your partitions to .ext4 partition, It would solve your problem
use CF-Root-S5830_ext4-v1.3u3.apk to convert .rfs to .ext4 format

Well you need a custom kernel to get an init.d folder or create it on yourself but the easy way, flash cf-root b84, BE 1.5.1. or whatever kernel you want, and you'll get an init.d folder support, so you'll be able to flash the int2ext script without any kind of problem

The IMEI is not supossed to change, is your phone's UINIQUE number. Try editing the build.prop for model number and see if it works for you.

You used file explorer to check out your /system/media folder right? which one? But if you delete something there it not supposed to be there if you have correct rw permission there. I first think that it could be problem with bootanimation you try to install but if you can't delete something there for good I guess first look at your permission to write that folder.

Root again. Use "Easy Root Tool". If it stuck cleaning part just run it again and you should be good.
I was trying to change Xperia S bootanimation last year. Ending up to find that problem is much deeper then basic root and root explorer.
Didn't find the way how to apply custom one.
As I remember is somehow connected with bootloader or kernel

Don't know about Xperia S but with Z1 I can change bootanimation. I use X-plore by Lonely Cat Games with r/w rights and have zero problems.
I would suggest you do not have root.
Check if you have killed the ric.
Goto sys/kernel/security/Sony_ric and see if the file called enable says 0 or 1. Also check it just after a reboot.
If it's a 1 you will lose write permissions to the system partition after a reboot, which explains the symptoms you are talking about.
Changing the boot animation had nothing to do with kernel or bootloader, you just have to change the bootamimation.zip in system /media

Ok so I updated to 5.1.1. using prerooted flash and all worked fine except I lost all my wifi passwords, I did a twrp backup of 5.0 before doing the update
so I have looked and found where wifi passwords are stored (/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf) but when I look for this file I get to /data/misc/ but there is no wifi folder there either on the phone or in the twrp backup I did before updating
I know I am probably doing something stupid like looking in the wrong place but it seems fairly simple
root folder /data/misc/wifi/ what am I missing, does the xperia do this differently to other devices ? I have one stored password on the phone already and have used a password display app from the PS and it is able to find the details so why can't I
@Geoffxx
I've lost my WiFi passwords many many times but not anymore. Link in my sig - end of Post #3.
