After i tried to install CyanogenMod, and it doesn't work because of bad first tutorial. I made big mistake, i didn't root my phone and didn't install CMW before installed CyanogenMod. Now I'm stuck in bootloop "Android", i can go to recovery only and i can install or update anything. I want to install original soft by Kies or by Odin, but my phone can't connect with PC. I know that computer see my phone because of automatically install drivers. But when i turn on Kies or Odin, it doesn't connected. Anyone had the same problem or know solution?
Are you able to go to the DOWNLOAD mode ?
If yes, then your pc will detect your device and you can easily flash firmware using ODIN v4.38
Hi crashew!
If you can go to recovery, you can install CWM and then any stock ROM from recovery. That is not exactly what you wanted, but it's easy and you could try it.
If not, Odin is your solution.
Good luck.

My solution is Odin, because when i try root or install CWM it's bootloop too, so i can't install anything by recovery way. But with Odin is problem, that my PC doesn't connecting with phone, I'm sure that PC see phone, because after first time insert the USB, it started install drivers to my phone, but when i try connect phone by Kies or Odin it doesn't work, Odin saying " Please connect your phone!"
So I have problem and I can't solve it.
Hi crashew!
Is your recovery: recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip? If not you could try installing it from your recovery.

As I wrote above, I didn't root my phone and I didn't install clockwork, I have stock recovery, and on it I can't root my phone, I can't install clockwork or any ROM. Of course I can't turn on my phone properly, I'm stuck in switching and word "ANDROID". Bootloop
Hi crashew!
AFAIK if you can go to stock recovery you can root your phone and then install CWM.
Search in the general section, there are some tutorials for rooting, try and try, eventually one of them will work for you.
Good luck.

odin is the way
phone: Xperia T
Model: L30p (I think)
Ok so I'm a great newbie when it comes to rooting.
I successfully rooted my phone yesterday, but the GPS and WIFI was stuck on so I decided to unroot it back to its original state.
Not knowing it was a bad thing to do I formatted all of the options on a CWM-based recovery screen.
including the now-known must not do /system
Now, my phone will not start.
I have access to both fastboot and Flash and have tried flashing the default .ftf file for the phone (gotten from this site, so not sure if it is the default one.)
I have tried to connect it to PC Companion but it wont connect, not sure if there's a certain way to connect it to that.
I have put other kernels on to try and fix the problem without luck
Is there anything I can do to fix this or have I well and truly destroyed my phone.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Formatting the system wipes the ROM.
You need to flash a ftf using flashtool or repair your phone using pccompanion.
Look in the all in one thread to find a ftf for your phone and download the flashtool from the first thread in the dev section.
Or if you are using pccompanion, then run pccompanion and click software update. Click repair and when asked to attach the phone then make sure its turned off and keep the volume down button pressed whilst you attach the usb cable. This is the official way from sony

Use the latest version
If you can get into recovery now, just flash it in recovery.
If not, extract the boot.img and flash it in flashtool using fastboot mode. You will now be able to enter recovery
Then flash the .zip in recovery to make sure you have the corect wifi modules
Then flash my ROM
I've run into another problem now, I cant seem to access my sdcard from my computer with usb

Do you have an external sd card? Take that out and use a card reader to put the files onto it.
If not, flash the boot.img from doomkernel in fastboot, then you should be able to access recovery.
In recovery you can mount the SD card (Mounts and storage) and you should be able to see the SD card then

The rom is rooted as is the kernel.
You should have a superuser app in the app drawer.
I suggest you make a backup now in recovery and leave it on your sdcard in case anything happens again
Always backup just in case you ****up
Glad you are back in the land of the living again.
I will be updating my rom later in the week so keep an eye out for that
I know this is probably the stupidest thing one can do and since I mediocre knowledge about Android stuff I just did that. While I was on CWM recovery mode I was tinkering around the settings and I accidentally deleted the OS, this leaves me soft-bricked (is that the term)? When I boot up on recovery mode again it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." But when I connect it to Kies it doesn't detect the phone! And when I boot up download mode it says I have Custom binaries (it says 3) which I suppose is because I had CWM? I have no idea how I could re-install my OS back to my phone and am panicking since this was my first phone. Is flashing back to stock firmware a viable option if I accidentally deleted my OS? Or so I have to do some other process? Please I am in dire need of assistance here!

Yes just flash back stock firmware with Odin.
That custom binary is probably from the time of GB because root method was increasing it. You can use Triangle away to reset it, it is free on xda.

You have Samsung USB drivers installed? If you have kies - kill it in Windows. I used 3.07.

I have kies and I always close it before opening, doesn't appear. Even the switch port thing doesn't. I'm going to try out 3.09. Since I accidentally deleted my OS doesn't that mean Windows won't detect it even if it's on download mode? Sorry I really have no idea what I'm doing. oh yes I have the Drivers installed.

Odin does not have anything to do with system partition, I mean it will work anyway. Do not just close Kies, go to task manager and kill it (in Windows).
P.S. If you have any ROM in your sd card, you can go to CWM and install it. Or if you have some other phone, put SD card in it, copy ROM and install it in CWM.
Gonna use this topic becaus i think i have simmilar problem.
So i rooted my phone and installed sucsesfully a custom rom with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198341

Hello guys!
My goal is to have Android 4.3+ on the phone.
I'm trying to install CM11 on GT-I8190. I follow the instructions from Nova fusion. After flashing with Odin the phone doesn't boot. I just see the logo of CyanogenMod and that's it....
When I enter the recovery, I see a stock one: Ansroid System Recovery <3e>... But CM11 ROM from NovaFusion already comes with TWRP recovery!
I already tried to install CWM and TWRP recovery separately via Odin. But it doesn't have any effect.
What can be wrong with the phone?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Writing this post for the 3rd time.. When I try to preview it, I have a token problem and all my writing is lost....

Some s3 mini's can't replace the stock recovery with a custom recovery so it means you have to flash it manually via root access.
1. Go back to stock ROM. Simple download a Firmware from sammobile.com/firmware and flash it via odin3
2. After that root your phone with vROOT. How to install it on your PC and how root your phone with vROOT :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459910 (enable USB debbuging first before you start rooting)
3. Download "ROM manager" from Google play store and install CWM recovery
4. Download "TWRP recovery 2.7.1.0" from NovaFusion : novafusion.pl/download and flash it via CWM.
4. Download latest CM11 Version and flash it via TWRP recovery
(do a nandroid backup first to avoid mistakes and don't forget to make a factory reset otherwise your phone won't boot and will stuck in bootloop)
5. Enjoy CM11
If you have questions or problems, then let me know

Thanks for so fast response! Now I have a hope!
I've already installed stock ROM (UK version)... I8190XXAMJ2_I8190BTUAMJ1_HOME.tar.md5 But I downloaded it not from the website that you suggested.
Anyway, after flashing stock rom the phone works, but I cannot copy any file to the phone... Windows 7 says: "Unrecognized USB device". Maybe I installed the wrong version of ROM? I am sure it is for GT-I8190, but maybe the country is wrong? Does country matter?

It doesn't matter for which country you downloaded. from SamMobile you only get original signed firmwares for your GT-i8190 and you can choose your firmware country.

Thank you very much!!!
I took another Galaxy S3 mini phone (I have 10 of them)... And my laptop can recognize it. So, I've managed to root the phone, installed ROM manager and then installed CWM, TWRP and latest CyanogenMod!
So, with other phones that I didn't touch yet I plan to do the same procedure.
My country is Russia The origin of the phone might be something else...
The first phone is still not recognized by my laptop. Other PCs don't recognize it either.
Just to remind what I did to the phone before it became like that:
Using Odin - installed CyanogenMod 11.0 (following simple procedure from the website)
It didn't load, so i tried older versions of CM and tried different recoveries with Odin...
It didn't work. Using Odin, I installed stock firmware GT-I8190-UK I8190XXAMJ2_I8190BTUAMJ1_HOME.tar - Android JB 4.1.2 (from sammobile website)
And then I was happy until I realized that my laptop now doesn't want to recognize the phone. And the phone doesn't want to recognize my laptop.
May be this info will be helpful to find out the origin country:
When I type *#1234#, I see the following:
Code:
AP: I8190XXANC2
CP: I8190XXALL2
CSC: Unknown
When I type *#06#, I see:
IMEI: 3547840580817xx / 01 (BTW, in russia you cannot track a phone by it's IMEI... this technology is not implemented in this yet)
Maybe I should try flashing 4.1.1 instead of 4.1.2? But I couldn't find 4.1.1.

Hi, I have trouble while installing 2.1 update with CWM recovery (can not install .zip file). I hear that we must use Stock Recovery to install Nokia update; I've installed many apps + been lazy for backup all their data files so I don't want to flash the Stock Rom. Is there any way to flash Stock Boot Recovery only?
I've found some .img files in RM-1013 Rom folder, their names are "user_boot.img" and "user_recovery.img",do these files handle Stock Boot + Stock Boot Recovery?

Thanks man :good:, I've updated to 2.1 but my X2 is unrooted now :crying: so I'm planning to update a custom file by modifying the 2.1 patch downloaded from Nokia. Although I've read many threads about modifying/creating a flashable .zip file (use Stock Boot Recovery to flash), I'm not be able to do it; it requires coding knowledge (editing scripts in META-INF, binary... blah blah) :crying:
Can you help or suggest me anything about this?
The link to patch file can be found in a catalog.xml file which would be deleted after update; I found this file in both phone memory and sd card while downloading patch file by using phone updater, it is attached below.
Here is the link to my patch file (signed with my product code)
h--ttp://download.update.nokia.com/public/p/d/fds_swupdate/1408/1518/4030/145209948/RM-1013_FOTA_2.0.0.11_2.1.0.11_059W0W0_001_001.diff.zip
My wish is I could install google apps and (maybe or not) keep the su binary to keep Device rooted by this method.
Sorry for bothering you, I'm just a curious user wants to understand my Android device and I know you're master at this :good:

Because there is noway to root a 2.1 X2 now :crying:

I'm waiting for new root method and want to do some thing this time
It is so boring for me looking at a non-(saved)game X2 xD
I'd better downgrade to 2.0 and wait, ty Dom. :good:

There is a much easier way. Flash CWM Recovery for X2 and flash any superuser recovery zip from the internet. Try it.
Thank you Dom but there is no hope for this 2.1 update

Thers is a CWM Recovery works well on X2 2.0 but it doesnt work on 2.1 update.
I've tried to use adb to flash .img file but adb cant find my device :v. I've installed all X2 drivers, the phone is detected well, all components are installed but adb usb composite driver is not listed in device manager, I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
I've tried connecting my device to a Windows 8 PC, after installing driver pack used on Win7 my X2 is detected well but adb usb composite driver is still not installed, Win 8 detects 1 new device more than in Win 7 but there is no driver for it in driver pack
I used Google Usb Driver pack (downloaded by SDK Manager) and Nokia X usb driver pack.
No hope for this 2.1 update :v
Now I'm reading about .zip files usable with Stock Recovery :crying:

I know that issue. Basically, Nokia drivers havent been updated.
But there is a way. Send me the link to the device drivers for X2.
Next, Open Device Manager and you'll see a yellow exclamation mark beside your device name.
Open your device and click properties. Then goto Detail and search for Compatible IDs something.
Send me those IDs and I'll update the drivers for you.
Feel free to PM me.
U're sweet Dom

As I said my PC OS installed all components from driver pack (as it can) and doesn't see any new device (there's not any symbol in the device list manager :crying. I might switch to Windows 8 if want to see it (Win 7 sucks :v).
I thought about this way to root 2.1 X2:
1. Root it at 2.0
2. Back up Supersu with ZIPme (app from who creates Busybox + Rom Toolbox, I think it's safe :v) so I can use it with Stock Recovery
3. Unroot
4. Update to 2.1
5. Recover Supersu
Do you think it works?
If I could use adb, it wouldn't be this complex. Ty again Dom :good:

I wouldnt advise you to try that. Many users have reported bricking when trying to root on 2.1.
