How to root Galaxy S3 Mini with XANNA2 already installed - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i'm new to these boards and i'd require some help to root my mom's Galaxy S3 Mini in the most safest way, but there are some probs.. (Did a root to my regular S3 and worked like a charm 1st time,but this case's weird)
First time, a couple of years ago, i've tried to root it via the typical Odin way, but after trying to do so the phone just won't boot up...Sure,it'd show the Galaxy S3 Mini logo then the Samsung Logo with the "Too dee dooo dee doo" jingle,but wouldn't go past that,it'd just go back to 1st base .. Somehow i was able to recover the phone from the DEAD and now it works..
Now my mom's sick and tired of the battery draining really fast, and that's because she has the annnnnnnnnnoying BLOATWARE that always turns on even if you Force Stop it from the App Admin..That's the typical Google Books,etc etc.. Among many other apps nobody would touch (She just touches Watsapp, do photos and that's it!)...And ofcourse the fear comes in. Try to root again
What's the problem then?. Not even google helped me at ALL...Her actual phone has the following:
-Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190 (Free, Europe/Spain region!!!!)
-Android Version 4.1.2
-Base Version I8190XXANA2 (<--- THIS, XXANA2)
-Kernel Version: 3.0.31-1514264

-Compilation Number: JZO54K.I8190XXANA2
The prob is, google won't find a way to root the device with the rare XXANA2 thing ALREADY INSTALLED.. It just shows "Update your phone to XXANA2" or similar, but NOTHING about Rooting it!
What i'd like to know is...How can i ROOT my mom's phone while keeping the XXANA2 thing in a SAFE WAY to prevent that rebooting death again to happen?...And in case the rebooting thing happens, what should i do?
Is there a way/tutorial/Step by step to root it without problems,please?..Also,Kies says the android 4.1.2 and stuff mentioned above is the latest, so better not mess with that...Also hope to have the 3G function still working (a MUST)
Thanks in advance.

I9000B lagfix problem

Hello guys,
I'm having a problem with my Galaxy S, I'm noob w/ Android. I read many users(not from here) saying that Lagfix really does a difference in performance, excited, I downloaded GST(Galaxy S Tweaker) and without root, instaled lagfix.
Now my Galaxy S is working, BUT, the home button stopped working and the back button is working as home button, also the camera stopped working, the touch became horrible, I can only connect to computer using Debug mode and everytime that I turn on the cellphone, appears I9000B and before appear the S logo it changes to I9000.
There's something that I can do?
I'm really desperate and don't care if lose data. I only wanna my Galaxy S working as it should be.
Eh. What's the name odd your device. Sounds like you installed lag fix for the international sgs
Sent from my GT-I9000
reflash it back to stock or flash another ROM made for the I9000 or I9000M instead of USA variants

HELP! Samsung SIII LTE - unstable issues no matter what kernel or ROM

Hey guys...
First time poster on here and after some BIG help... any will be useful and i thank you in advance for taking the time...
Ok without writing a novel i will give as much information as i can without beating around the bush. Then followed by details on the phone.
Issue:
So no matter what kernel or ROM & apps (or no apps) i put on this phone it is always unstable and reboots itself. Some ROMS doesn't even load.
The phone has been rooted correctly 'used the samsung root tool kit' with the correct one for the phone Australia i9305 LTE version.
I used to have rXTREME 7 which was OK - it rebooted maybe 3-5 times a day if i was frequently using it, but annoying.
I tried the rXTREME12.1 installed fine, the phone was restored to default, Xache & Davik Cache where all cleared and installed rom on fresh system however it would just hang on the Samsung logo... and do nothing.. i have also tried the CyanogenMod and Paranoidandroid 3.97 halo ROM's and they wouldn't load....
Currently i have Ripper Rom and it works however whenever i try and do ANYTHING it reboots itself... i will be lucky to get a good 2mins of it working correclty without it having to reboot... So far this morning it has rebooted about 31 times (no joke i have been counting) just trying to access my email... Not matter what i do, replaying to MSG's trying to answer the phone (swipe just doesn't work) or it will just reboot itself...
In saying this i have also tried to unroot the phone and installed the standard OPTUS rom and it was also so unstable it would do the same thing, however would wipe any information i had put on the phone... apps, data, contacts...
Details on the Phone:
Australian LTE GT-i9305
Android V: 4.1.2
Baseband V: I9305XXBLL5
Kernel V: 3.0.31-1153417 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 31 23:10:25 KST 2013

nateboi81, thanks for that..
I have given that a go and it hasn't worked. still has rebooted 20 times this morning :S
I don't know what to do.. HELP? PLEASE....
Wipe phone factory reset flash stock rom and test fails then its hardware .
jje
Yeah it sounds like you've done everything so it sounds hardware related. If it's still under warranty hopefully you can still run triangle away to clear the flash counter before you send it in for repair but I don't think you have any other choice

Thanks for the help guys..
I have a funny feeling it is hardware related as well
I do have triangle away, and the phone gets rid of all the flashes bar 1... it shows the count as 1... so don't know if warranty will cover it?
On that note of a stock flash, does anyone have the latest OPTUS Australian LTE version??????
Again, thanks for your time...

You need to flash triangle away and then boot into download mode and flash a stock rom. Should be able to find it on the sammobile website

Stock rom is up on sammobile, I have both stock ics and stock jb files for optus Australia which I can upload if required.
update -
So the phone has another version of teamwin recovery v2.3.3.0 and installed the xrtreme13 rom and is completely fine... untill you put a sim card in the phone... I tired all the different modems and it still crashed...
If i put another sim in it, and still does it, does it mean the modem on the phone is borked? and should get a new one? or is there a fix for this???
However we did pin point what the problem is...
Cheers,

[Q] Phone stock on Android updating screen

Good day all, first timer posting but have been reading the forms for a while now.
I have a major problem with my galaxy note GT- N7000. I have browed through the forms and have not seen a problem like mine. I really need help with my phone.
Problem:
The phone is rooted with paranoid android rom; current version PA_n7000-3.60. I have been using this for over a year with no problem, when all of a sudden the phone goes into android update screen and ever since been on that screen whatever I do. I never tried to update the rom or anything when this happened, just found it like that. All auto update are turned off.
I have tired installing the rom again using CWM and even tried installing the latest update still the problem persists.
I don’t want to format the phone because I have some very important information I will lose if I do. Cannot back up using CWM, getting error messages, cannot get access to phone via connection to my computer. I am in a jam and really need help with this.
Thanks.

Reverting to original ROM [Samsung Galaxy A30]

Hello,
This is my first post here
So couple of weeks ago i attempted to Flash Custom Rom ( HavocOS ) altho it looks nice but it seems that my phone is getting slower by the day,
the reason that made me flash a custom rom is to remove the unecessary apps and samsung stuff that uses my phone for no reason.
and losing the snappiness of my phone, phone gets hot sometimes for no reason, pickin up calls takes forever to connect which makes me miss calls sometimes, etc ... made me regret flashin the Rom.
so i was wondering if it's possible to revert back to original Rom and Lock the bootloader again.
My phone model is : SM-A305F/DS
Thank you for your help.
PS: sorry if my english seems off it's not my first language and still learning it ^^
The best way is probably flashing the stock firmware on odin and then lock the bootloader.

Samsung Galaxy Note8 SM-N950F: reboot loop - firmware info was not valid

Dear XDA Community,
since 4 years iam using a Samsung Galaxy Note8 SM-N950F. It works comepletly fine until one day the device suddenly reboots by using it.
At first i wanna mention, that the Hardware didnt got conact with water and at this day and the days before it didnt fall down.
At the first reboots I always got to the home screen and could use it for a few seconds. But after a few reboots its get stucked by the logo.
After 5 hours of rebooting, the device worked like before... but only for one day. The next day its beguns rebooting again...
I try to break the loop and opened the bootmenu. From the bootmenu the device did not reboot but display the following message (Picture-1):
firmware info was not valid
Then i wiped and restartet it. I clicked through the firststart dialog after i reach the home screen and then i joined the reboot loop again.
I tooked my phone to a repair center but they said it will be a mainboard defect which i cant belive cause it dont reboot from the boot menu and from the android download mode...
The resettet and said they installed a new firmware but the error message didnt changed.
I also followed this guide to do it by my own:
