Samsung S3 Mini with LA Fleur - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys. I have problem with my little phone S3 Mini GT-I8190. My phone was brick and cant show up any samsung logo (RIP), then i bring it to friend and he say “much change the internal memory”. He give me choice, “change to 16gb, 32gb or still on 8gb?”. I choose 16gb. Then my phone normal again.
Now i got La Fleur firmware on my phone. When i want to install cm12, i cant install it. I was stuk on custom kernel (twrp, cwm) it cant mount everything. So i cant install any custom rom .
What happend?? Can someone give me a solution?? Or give me a link to tread that talk about this problem?
Thank you and sorry my english.

[Q] Did i brick my phone ?

Hey guys,
i have a big problem with my Samsung GALAXY ACE GT-S5830i.
My screen is always stuck at GALAXY ACE GT-S5830i and it just wont go away, i dont know how to fix it. I am using this phone for 1 week and i already brick it or something.
This is the video i was trying to follow :
/watch?v=PFeXXWM-0Xg
(cant post links yet, just add that after youtube.com/ )
I did all the steps he said (under video are all the steps).
I rooted my phone
I tryed to install ClockWorkMod 5 but i got somekind of error i dont remember
And then i got into CyanogenMod 9 ,it installed all right but then when i restarted my phone whole hell gone wrong...
I can get into recovery mode, i cant get into download mode .....
I really need help with this guys, and yes i know i am stupid but i will never do it again.
Please help
Doesn't looks like its bricked if its showing S5830i on the screen, just a soft brick though.
You need to read more mate, that CM9 rom is for S5830 only, not S5830i.
These are both very different models, dunno why samsung gave them the same name.
There is no custom roms for S5830i yet, and you cannot use any rom built for S5830.
You can just flash a stock firmware via Odin and your phone will be back online.
Here read this tut, specially the Odin part.

Read this too if you mess again ever, just use the S5830i button combo for download mode instead of ace's.

Cheers mate, i will try this and let you know what will happen.
The problem is now my pc dont detect usb cable, so i cant copy files/zip to my sd card, before was all working fine but now i cant enable my usb connection
Mate sorry but i am little noobish for this...
Would you mind if you tell me step by step what to do....i mean i just dont know what to do
All i can say is that since all this mess i cant use (phone-pc usb cable) ...my pc just dont show up memory card.
Please help
You can use a card reader, or any other phone as a card reader.
Steps are clearly given in the tutorial by ickkyy, and further flashguide through odin is there at sammobile.com along with all the files you'll need with Odin.
Stop panicking, just read the tut once, and follow it, you'll recover easy.
Wow its fixed i am so happy thanks mate
Good to know mate :good:
Be careful in the future man, don't flash things not meant for your phone....
Yeah i will not
But are there like any themes or addons or roms for my phone ? Cuz i would really like to change this default one...
Just one rom, its released today by team cooper, check the dev section for retribution rom.

[Q] Please Help! Installed different cwm

Hello, im new in this forum and I just got this android galaxy ace phone. I wanted to upgrade the cwm to 5.0.2.8 and i did. I got the cwm from somewhere in the site and didnt read fully what was it compatible with. When i see the cwm booting image it shows that it is a Galaxy Mini cwm. I've installed Galaxy Mini CWM to Galaxy Ace s5830 and i cant install anything or do anything! Please help
fixed it.
hmmm nobody seems to be helping and of course, im one of the geekiest guy that actually finds my way even though im a beginner. I found out how to fix it and if anyone wants to know how to fix it, just comment and ill post up a forum how to fix it. I dont think many of you got this error cuz i've been searching it up and didnt find anything about it.
Any questions about Windows XP/7, Laptop, Desktop, then ask me. Im an expert that learned all myself.
In before the lock, Chuck Norris approves :thumbup:
Count me in!
Well... you flashed a recovery.img not for the Ace therefore botching up the bootloader therefore rendering your ace toast.
Lie to service.

[Q] galaxy mini thinks its a GT-S5360

After installing JellyPlus and Cor Plenus kernel on my Galaxy Mini for program compatibility, I find the rom a little unstable, and wish to retun the phone to its origional status
Using CWM to load new rom gives error of there not being enough room on the device
Using Odin downloader, either the phone is not recognised, or the operation works, but sends the phone into boot loop, depending on the version of Odin I use
Using Kies, well, my phone is not 5570 any more, but a 5360 which is not supported for firmware upgrade
I am computer literate, Pc, Tablets, Windows, Android etc - No, I only thought I was
I have tried many things, and do not see how to revert the phone to factory (ie GT-S5570I STOCK ROM from its current status of GT-S5360)
Please, please help. I am happy to take a big kicking if this is easy, obvious, or many times previously covered - a push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated
Thank you, Paul
If you have bootloop, wipe data from stock recovery. And as I read read your post, you flashed Mini Plus ROM and kernel! So be happy, that your phone works!
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
no he flashed a galaxy y rom on his mini plus
lol
now what you can do is boot into recovery and wipe everything except sdcard from mount and storage option (do not format sdcard) then flash a custom rom meant for mini plus and then try to flash a stock rom through odin

What I did.!
My phone was a GT-S5570I
I flashed the following, thinking that it was for my phone - see last bit?!
[ROM][KERNEL][ICS/JellyBean mod] JELLYBLAST V3 for Galaxy MINI/POP PLUS [GT-S5570i]
I am grateful that the phone still works, and very grateful to all of you who have replied
What I would like to know is how to enable enough free space on the phone so that I can flash back to stock 2.3.6 (as it was when I bought it)
should I pretend that it is a pop plus now, and look for solutions from there?
The 'trasto' has let me flash once again to the above rom / kernel, but often I am stuck without carrier - emergency calls only. Other than hat, it works very nicely!
hmm try to flash a kernel made for ur device , coz the kernel has the main properties of ur device for kies to detect, tat shud be ok,wont be requiring much space for kernel flashing i suppose :good:
btw there shudnt besuch errors, the updater script is acually set to swipe everything out b4 cpying the new files into ur rom
or else flash a custom rom, its easy tat way
just flash a firnware through odin

My thoughts exactly!
Can anyone recommend a method - have tried versions 1.87 (flashes, but boot loops afterwards), and 4.38 which does not recognise the phone
What I would really like to know is if there is a way to ´make room´ on the phone so I can flash through CMR - I too thought that a custom rom would clear everything out of it´s way, as did the jellythingyrom which has successfully put android 4.1.1 on the phone

Don't panic my friend ....
and YES, after upgrading to JellyBlast Samsung Kies recognized as 5360 ...
but everything is working well ..
I can backup / restore like normal phone ....
so why do u bother about that ...?
What I think is 5360 has the same hardware like 5570i ...
or maybe JellyBlast was ported from 5360 ... !!!!!
Here , your question is answered ...
U don't have to need the free space as flashing original FW doesn't need to put the file to phone ...

Thank you, and .......... thank you!! I may be being hysterical, but main reason for wanting to go back to original is because the phone now often is stuck with emergency calls only. On rebooting I also sometimes get an Unlock Network screen (should I have unlocked the phone first? Hmm - I have read so much over the last few days that I am not too sure any more. Shall try flashing the original firmware cwm or odin, or both??!! Have you any views on the problems that >I have re the above posts? Kind regards, Paul PS sim works as normal in nokia phone
Hi Paul ...
According to your post I assumed that u have GT-S5570i like mine ...
I don't face any situation like you posted ...
The reason is may be ...
U didn't wipe the Dalvik cache
try wiping and see ...
And for the Network unlock screen ...
What I think is your country or region CSC code is different from the Jellyblast's default CSC code ...
in that case U need to know your original CSC code and need to change back ...
this is what I thought ...
all done and dusted

Bueno, managed to find what I wanted (other than a functioning (for me!) 4.1.1 rom)
Phone back to original status, and only wasted 6 euros on a replacement sim which I didn't need!
Have located ´'stockrom+odin s5570i' zip - if anyone has similar problems can mail it to them
The zip has the PDA, PHONE(MODEM) and CSC all split up, and I zapped the BOOTLOADER as well, just in case
All as I want it, and at least I now know how to recover when I try a 422 Rom next time!
What a shame Odin not available for this phone in 'one packet option', and what a shame nothing like Nexus Root Toolkit for sgmini
Same problem

Hi, I have the same problem. Can you please send yours zip and instructions? For 5570 Odin not sees my phone and for 5360 See, but I do not know how to enter the pit. With it a little scared. I tried. Zip update, but everything just mods for 5570, which is now reports differently and therefore probably do not install via clockwork.
I play with it all day and google it to me a little laugh .. omg (when you have 20 tabs open and there is a mess).
Problem solved
So we solved the problem with rpaurey successfully. Odin really need to be right on the GT-S5570I and I think "I" even at the end.
Stock rom I had only a little English and other languages​​, but downloading Czech now. Thanks.

[Q] Is it possible to root the new Galaxy S3 mini GT-I8200N (Value Edition)?

Hey guys
first of all thanks a lot for this great forum.
I have a question regarding my new Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (Value Edition) (model number: GT-I8200N).
Is there any way to root my phone? I can't find any info for this model on the internet.
In this thread only the GT-8200 is mentioned. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185700. How is this method working?
I found a guide for rooting the "normal" S3 mini by flashing the CWM and SuperSU.
Is it possible to root my phone this way without bricking it?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Try this, it roots almost any device.
Hi, i have an i8200L and I did root it with the vRoot. But does anyone know if the others mods for i8190 work for this one? Like ROMs and all that?
I've read that you can't flash roms etc. because there are differences in the software (bootloader?).
The chance that you brick your phone is pretty high.

Hi,
first I tried to flash a custom rom and afterwards I read this thread.
There is no excuse for that, i know. But I know now, that i flashed a wrong rom.
Can I throw the Mobile away or is there a chance for it?
My GT-I8200N now shows me just a window with the words "firmware upgrade encountered
an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again".
I don´t know what to do know, maybe someone can help me.
Thanks

That is download mode. You have to chose vol+ to see your status.
To get out of download mode, just hold power for about 10 sec and it will reboot to system.
Recovery mode: vol+ / home / power
Download mode: vol- / home / power (confirm with vol+)
Thanks for answer. In recovery i can not see anything. In download Mode it says "system status: official". But at the top it says "odin mode" Does that mean that warranty is still ok or not?
Is still ok!

While updating my firmware via odin, the update failed and my phone was stuck in download mode , I did a battery pull and now the phone will not come on at all. The computer makes hardware connection sound when I plug it in or unplug it, but other than that I cant get it to respond.

Soft-bricked is good, download mode and Odin recognisable is better so don't worry we can fix this for you. First though, your English is understandable so keep it up and you didn't violate anything. You even posted in the correct section so +5 for reading.
Looks like your recovery is broken so you need to first make sure your phone is boot-able. Therefore Odin flash a stock rom (this uses the download mode) to reset everything. From there, two ways are available to install recovery, stock update or Odin flash again so choose which one suits you best. Don't use the old KitKat roms (except NightOwl) since they're unsupported. Stable ones are NightOwl roms as it's still in active development.

Thank you so much for being honest, i'm so appreciate it, okay, i've flash so many recovery system (like Philztouch), but it still stuck in TEAMWIN logo, and there is no result, and i've flash another stock rom from sammobile, i choose the one for Indonesia region, but still no result, there is no difference, or should i try to flas the ginger bread stock rom??i try so many times to find another Dr Ketan Ginger bread stock rom, because the website where he upload the data (hotfile.com) were not open in indonesia (it has been blocked for a reason) so i have to find another website that provide the data, and there is no result again, or might be it's caused by the hardware or not??

Right now you ignore all of that. Odin flash a stock rom from sammobile, then install the correct recovery based on your stock ROM from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191. Get the Jellybean rom, it's safer and easier.
