[GT-i8190] Bootloop after flash baseband - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!, i flash a rooted rom with odin, after flash i noticed that CSC was unknown so i wasn't able to get signal, i tried flash the same rom as "CSC" in odin but still the same. tried to flash a custom recovery with odin (to install a custom rom) but recovery keep in stock, the ONLY way that i found to flash a recovery (PhilZ 6.59) was by flashfy. Then i flashed a baseband from here and now my phone is in a bootloop.
What i tried:
- Flash param_i8910.tar
- Flash a variety of stock roms via odin
- Flash a custom rom via odin (novafusion)
- Flash a stock rom via recovery
- Flash a custom rom via PhilZ (same or says wrong model)
- Flash pit file (failed)
- Flash a baseband from original rom (i8190XXALL2)
I'm able to:
-Enter download mode
-Enter custom recovery
Thanks for any help.

What tools can flash/update a Galaxy S?

Are Odin and Kies the only ways to update the i9000? Are there other ways of flashing new firmwares? Is Odin the only tool used to flash custom firmwares?
There are so many threads that I'm a bit confused.
Thanks
you can flash a kernel in the form of 'update.zip'
you flash this through recovery and then you will have CWM recovery which allows you to flash most roms thru the phone itself.
so you do not need to use odin or kies but sometimes using odin is a lot quicker and using odin is essential if you get a bricked phone and need to flash stock firmware to recovery it
Oh didn't know that you could use update.zip
Can stock firmwares be updated from "update.zip"
Also, do you need to root the phone for using custom kernels?
Thanks for the info!
well you can get a kernel such as speedmod and it will be named update.zip
you boot into android recovery and flash this update.zip once or twice and that will turn android recovery into CWM / 2e recovery, and with this recovery you can flash unsigned zips, such as roms, themes, kernels, modems ect.
as for the root, im not sure. I started off flashing a kernel thru odin, which rooted my phone and gave me CWM recovery.
dont be afraid of odin. its ever so simple, even simpler to flash a kernel, it takes less than 15 seconds
You can also use the Open-Source Cross-Platform Flashing Suite Heimdall.

[Q] Stupid newby question

Can any rom be installed from recovery?
Im trying to install a rom that has the following instruction but i dont understand them. I am rooted by the way
"installation guide ( for beginners):
1- flash your phone with 2.3.5 JVT with repartion checkbbox (with odin)
2- install semephore kernel 1.8.1 (with odin)
3- install lagfix file ( install recovery menu)
4- then you have ex4 program in menu . open that program and choice convert to ex4 .
5- install the rom from recovery menu."
Im using 1.12.9 MIUI rom which is based on 2.3.7 JVK
First download stock ROM JVT just search it up in the forum flash it through the program ODIN and then download the semaphore kernel and put the tar in the PDA section and flash through ODIN again. Then download ROM manager off the market and flash Clockworkmod Recovery through the app and boot into CWM and flash the ROM

1.Mobile odin pro 2.phone CWM 3.CWM apps.

1. CWM recovery
2. Stock rom - PC Odin
Custom rom - CWM recovery
It varies according your need
e.g.
for stock ROM and kernel PC odin is best, but same time if you want to keep root, you need to use other method (Mob odin/CWM)
For custom ROM - you have to use CWM only

If you have a Kernel in .tar format it can be flashed through Odin/Mobile Odin only, whereas .zip files can be flashed through CWM.
First make sure you are on a safe kernel before doing any flash.
Then for only kernel flashing I prefer Mobile Odin, if I have a .tar file available.
However, for any Custom ROM + kernel flashing (from a safe kernel), I prefer CWM recovery & not the CWM app.

[Q] Is TWRP able to flash a stock ROM?

So I got together a few stock ROMs I want to flash over my Slimsaber, I'm currently on the TWRP recovery.
A lot of the flashing steps mention using CWM but how does TWRP fit into this? Is it the same as CWM?
Can I flash these stock ROMs the same way I used to flash Slimsaber? Most of them seem to be flashable zips and don't need Odin.
Stock rom are tar files and Odin can flash it. But if you are referring to TW based custom rom then yes TWRP can flash those too. It's just like CWM.
