i8190 installing / deinstalling gapps crashes phone -needs complete reflash with odin - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I am trying to flash a ROM on my i8190. I tried the novefusion-roms as well as the stock rom. However if I flash the Gapps in the first cast the found crashes after the first boot during the optimizing apps steps. If I use the stock rom (rooted) and remove some Gapps (like Kiosk), the phone also crashes. Here's what I mean by crash: The phone turns off, turn on shows the boot logo, turns off and so on. Only after flashing the PARAM and re-partitioning the phone I get some life back into it (however senseless since I can't use the Gapps).
Any ideas are appreciated,

I assume you already tried different Gapps packages, also the littlest one available only with Play Store functionality (Pico package) ? Did you try to wipe /system via recovery and then flash ROM and Gapps? Greetings

You are correct. I tried the nano and the pico package. I did flash the ROMs via ODIN (since they would not even flash correctly with TWRP). However I did not wipe /system beforehand (since I assumed that this is a clean install). I might try this in addition to propably switching to CWM.
Thanks for you reply,

Camera, Sim Services, and Sounds, doesn't work on SGAce S5830

What happened is:
My SGA runs sweetly with Stock ROM 2.3.6 but when I flashed several CUSTOM ROM like CM9.1 (rc4bycooper), and stocklite there are some application that is not working, so I decided to flash it back to the stock ROM using ODIN. After it boots there are some features of my phone that won't work like Camera, Camcoder, Sim Services(No Signal, No Contacts, No Sim Toolkit Icon), Sounds, and Not Charging I don't know if there's more. Please help.
Please I need help about this.
I've used the search and I found nothing about my problem.
Hope there's a fix about it.

Did you wipe (from recovery) after flashing with odin?
Also, flashing an odin full package (not one package) cleans the phone more thoroughly.

I wiped data/cache because I was stuck at bootscreen on my first boot but nothing else changes still the camera only show black screen, no sounds, can't charge, and no sim services.
So It is more advisable if I'll going flash my phone with full package? I only used one package on flashing my device.
BTW: Where could I download Multiple Files Firmware? I couldn't find one on Samfirmware. Thanks.

[Q] Problems with Gapps and boot problem with CWM.

Hi, I'm a noob for messing with my phone.
Although I have googled for 7+ hours I have found nothing that helped me, only things that **** me over.
So here is the story:
I decided to install Cyanogenmod 10 on my device. That worked out okay and stuff, but I couldn't install gapps. It said everything was ok but when i started CM10 gapps wasn't there. I tried 10-20 diffrent versions of CM10, all with gapps and diffrent versions of gapps but it didn't work.
Then I installed CWM. I installed CM10 + Gapps with CWM. Then I tried rebooting my device. CWM booted up. CWM boots up everytime I try to boot the device. I googled and found a file, exitrecovery.zip. I installed that via CWM but it didn't work. So, after some more googleing I found a thread on here that said to flash Boot_loader.tar onto my phone via Odin Multi Downloader. Of course, I messed that up. I tried to flash it using "PDA" instead of "BOOT". So that didnt work. I flashed it again using "BOOT" but now it shuts down after the Samsung text on screen.
I am about to attempt to flash the stock OS into my device using the Package option in Odin (Luckily Download mode still works).
Is using Package the correct way to flash the stock OS into my phone?
When I have it working again I want to install CM10 with gapps. Why didn't gapps install?
How can I install gapps correctly?
How do I get out of the CWM boot loop?
Someone please help me because I don't know what to do anymore!
EDIT: Succesfully flashed in stock firmware. But how do I install CM10 and have gapps working?
Thanks in advance,
-Spore
Easyest way to rescue your phone is to flash 3 file ROM with pit and re-partition.
one of many guides is here
Use one of multicsc ROMs (i'd use JVZ)
Then it gets little tricky when getting to CM10
First of all flash semaphore kernel for JVZ (google it)
Then I'd go through CM9 stable to CM10. Flashing guides are easy to find
Edit. Maybe u're using wrong Gapps? for CM10 gaps are from 20120606 (or something like that - newest are for cm10.1)
Got it working!
I figured everything out on my own.
Here's how I did it for anyone with the same problem:
Download the files ill list below.
Put them all on your phone's internal SD
Boot into Recovery Mode
Install CMW6014-TOUCH-CM9recovery.zip
Reboot into Recovery Mode
Clear everything.
Install cm-10-20130130-ivendor-alpha7-ariesve.zip
Install gapps-jb-20121011.zip
Reboot.
And you're done!
Files are listed down below. Since I'm a new user i have to put a dot in the URL.
The only other file you'll need is fs1.d-h.st/download/00026/J34/cm-10-20130130-ivendor-alpha7-ariesve (dot) zip
does this work for cm9?

Hello, thank you for posting this. I noticed that the one file that you said we should download looks like it is for cm10. is that correct? I have cm9.
Also, what do you mean by "clear everything"?
{EDIT} I figured it out. For any other user that has this problem-- you must ensure that you are using the correct version of gapps as others have noted.
In OP's answer to his own question, he used cm10. and the appropriate gapps for jelly bean. That didn't work for me since I was using ICS. Do not use the file he listed for cm10 unless you mean to install that specific version of cm10, which probably won't work for your phone.
Also, google took about 6 hours to recognise my account on the play store. This is apparently a common issue, and I have read multiple threads where people are not seeing their device linked up to their account after upgrading to custom ROMs. The play store app worked on my phone, but not when using an outside device linked to that account (my desktop). I called google support and they said that they had no idea what was wrong, 3 hours later, it just started working.
So be patient if you do not have the option to use the play store from outside sources right away.

[Q] Endless Boot & Gapps issue

Received this phone a month ago, just got around to rooting it yesterday. Root with motochopper went fine. Unlocked the handset with motopocalypse, everything went fine. Installed latest CM10.2 nightly and everything ran fine, even restarted phone and it worked fine. I then realized I forgot to install Gapps, So i went to CWM and installed the Gapps through "install zip from sd card". Now phone will not progress past the bootloader unlocked warning screen. I can restart and put phone into recovery or fastboot no problem but I don't know where to go from here. I tried a factory reset and reinstallation of CM but to no success. I am a bit of a newb when it comes to external programs like RSD Lite and haven't used it. Is there something obvious I'm missing in my progress of trying to fix my phone?
clear cache and dalvik cache under advanced then restart.
if you still loop do the above steps plus data reinstall cm10.2.
if you still loop do all above steps but also format system under mounts be re-install.
if you loop after all that then try a different ROM.
PS what version of gapps did you use.

i can't post outside links yet but on the wiki.cyanogen site in the Gapps section I used the 10.2 20130813 1f51b5cc6370c1f45dc951109b6ce6ed release. I will attempt those steps once i can find a legitimate charger in my house. Phone doesn't accept power unless its on and i need just a bit of juice to boot it up

Here's the official name. Installed cm-10.2-2-130814-NIGHTLY-mb886.zip for the cm and gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip for the GApps, both latest versions I believe

none of the above steps worked unfortunately. Is there a set order of certain things to be mounted and unmounted in the mount section? Such as the system or sd card?

did you flash gapps before flashing the ROM because the ROM flash will overwrite the gapps.
PS I suggest using zgapps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240652 because they are stripped down which tends to prevent a lot of issues and if you want a 4.3 ROM try skeevydudes PAC ROM it is more stable plus has more features.

Awesome. Pac-Rom already looks better on review. I get to the dl page tho and have a monster list of choices. Which one do I go for?

Thank you for all the help. PACROM is up and running swimmingly, all of the features are there and it is definitely better than CM by itself. Thanks again

Every ROM install boot loops

I have had several roms, over several devices, over several years. I have never had issues before.
I have Note 4 T-Mobile running 4.4.4. I rooted, installed TWRP and am trying to install cm-12.1-20150509-UNOFFICIAL-temasek-trltetmo
I tried installing a different ROM last night and the same things happen.
When I wipe Cache it removes the TWRP
I install TWRP app, then install TWRP 1.8.6 or whatever using the TWRP app
Reboot into recovery
Flash the ROM and Gapps
Wipe, wipe again just to be safe
Reboot
It goes through the CM logo to where it initializes apps, goes through them all, reboots and does it all again. 2 different ROMs did exactly the same thing. I dont know what im doing wrong. I tried installing TWRP With ADB but it hangs on "waiting for device" When I adb devices my hone shows and I have USB debug turned on. After I finally quit and pulled the battery It said no OS available so I had to DL and reflash stock image.
I am beyond frustrated now,
Any ideas? What info do you need from me?

You've got a nightmare. Head back to stock with Odin. Start fresh something with your base is off. Either wrong baseband orkernel but something off

Which rom u trying
few thoughts.
First verify the MD5 of your download of the rom. make sure it wasn't corrupt. Second. Flash just the rom only and boot, then flash gapps and boot.

I think flashing just the ROM and then gapps did the trick. Seems to be up and stable. Man Ive never had so many issues before blah.

I have not messed with CM since I had the Note 2, which was until the Note 3 came out. Was a different carrier too. Generally the rule was flash CM then boot then reboot and flash GAPPS. I haven't looked but I would assume it is still the same.
Glad it worked

Flashing other roms than Andro X doesn't work

I just updated my bootloader and whenever i try to flash a rom, the booting process takes forever until i wipe my phone myself. But when i flash Andro X rom than it takes max. 3min to boot and then it works.
But i want another rom, how do i fix this?
Do you mean that when u flash lollipop based rom it gets bootloop? if yes then first flash stock lollipop firmware and then try flashing other rom. I mostly wipe my internal storage when going from Kitkat to lollipop it works for me.
Well Firstly Explain your problem clearly (I didnt quite understand it)
OK so here's my solution from what I understood..
1. Restore your stock rom Backup from recovery. Boot it once.
2. Now clean flash (Wipe System, Data , Cache, Dalvik cache) a lollipop based Rom (preferably try to clean flash cm 12.1 build)
3. Dont flash Gapps. First see if your phone boots up properly.
4. Configure data and reboot to recovery and flash Gapps.
If you dont have a Stock backup, Then download Stock Firmware images from gregor's thread and install via fastboot. Then follow from step2.
Hope this helps you.

My problem is that when i try to flash roms like CM12, Blisspop it doesn't stop booting, it was taking more than an hour so i shutdown my phone and when i flashed Andro X the booting took around 3mins.
So can anyone explain in easy steps how to fix this?
OK now I understand what your problem is. Give me your full specs (like which Model and and stuff). But if you follow what I said above it might fix your problem.

are you fully wiping cache and userdata (factory reset) because this is most common problem moving between Roms that causes bootloops and why I include factory reset in my easy installer.
you can only dirty flash when going up (upgrading) the same rom - changing roms or downgrading nearly always causes bootloop / hang.
