[Q] Cannot install non-stock kernels.

Okay, so I got the leaked Acer generic Honeycomb 3.1 "update.zip" and it installed without issue. However, after gaining root access (verified via root check), installing Busybox v1.18.4 (1.9 didnt like my device), and installing clockworkmod rev 1.3.4 via Acer recovery I find that I cannot complete the ROM installation. I have tried numerous kernels supposedly geared towards my device to no avail. I did boot into recovery mode, factory reset/wipe, wipe cache, wipe battery statistics, and clear dalvick cache....but it didnt work. None of the three kernels I've tried actually install. So far I have tried "UNITY_V1_2.6.36.4_OC1600_SLQB_CIFS_TUN_VR", "unity_v3_picasso_acer", and "Virtuous_Picasso_v1.0.8_Acer_based_thor-kernel v1.1-beta" They say installation from sd completed, (even though the progress bar lasts all of 3 seconds and the text doesnt properly populate) but I get the boot hang upon power cycle. I did verify that the kernels werent corrupted, and I have been able to unbrick via the 3.1 update.zip. Any help would be appreciated.
Oh and also of note, is that I have two mico SD cards, one 16GB SDHC which for some reason wont mount, and a 2GB SD that mounts properly. Both sd cards were formatted from the tablet.

Try to format /system and /flexrom in the 'mounts and storage' menu of cwr. Then try to reinstall a ROM

I will try that and get back to you. Thank you for the suggestion.
edit...
Okay, I followed your suggestions and it didnt make a difference(custom ROM install from SD card completes in 3 seconds, then hangs on the Acer splash screen upon reboot), also while reinstalling the leaked 3.1 stock ROM it gives me a stop error? "random offset 0x339", but completes the installation of said stock 3.1 ROM.

Strange. Check if all partitions can be mounted (from 'mounts and storage' menu). Also, is there anything interesting in /tmp/recovery.log?

According to recovery, everything but the 16GB SD card can be mounted successfully. As for the second suggestion, where would I find the tmp directory? I dont see it in root so where would it be?

You need adb for this. If you do not have adb, see this guide how to install it (but skip step 7).
Then boot into recovery and try to install a ROM (which will most likely fail). Next, from the console on your pc (the one where you also typed "adb devices") type:
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
This will pull the file from your device and save it in the folder where adb is installed.

Alright, I'll get right on it, and get back with some text.

i see here, after u wipe data, u install kernel only zip file???
then you dont have OS flashed, how can it boot

Lol, I should read the post better next time
@OP: interqd is right. You have to install a full ROM, not just the kernel.

Well it looks like I have some more research to do.
These are the instructions I was following...
Overclock Acer Iconia
To begin, copy the kernel you downloaded from the link above, to the root of your SD card.
Once the file is copied, reboot your device into recovery mode. (Power off the device and hold the Power button and Volume down until text in the upper left corner appears. When it does, release the Volume down button.)
Once in the recovery, make a NANDroid backup.
Now, wipe cache and dalvick cache.
Once done, simply flash the kernel you copied to your SD card and let it install and then simply reboot your device.

My n00bish terminology was incorrect, I am trying to flash a custom kernel.

Everytime I try to flash any of those kernels in the original post now I get the garbled screen. What am I doing wrong with the kernels? I followed the instructions to the letter.

Are you trying to install a custom kernel over stock ROM? If so, that's why it's not working. Try with a full custom ROM image.

I suppose I need to find one then. This one that I am using is 3.1 stock but rooted. At any rate, thanks to everyone who took the time to help me find my roots. I've been overclocking notebooks and desktops for years and I thought I'd jump right into the tablet sector as well. Anyways thank you all for your help and guidance.

There are several in the dev section.

Okay, I just wanted to come in and update. I got the virtuous picasso rom and unity V3 kernel installed and running flawlessly. I am loving it by the way, so now I can get down to what I intended...overclocking and benchmarking. Thank you all for your help.
My goodness it's so easy to overclock these tabs, no doubt due in magnitude to the hard work of the developers of these custom kernels/ROMs.

Huawei U8800 Aurora ROM Questions

Hi all!
This is my first post and I am new to rooting so I will not know as much advanced techniques/terms so please be patient.
I decided to root my phone to install a custom ROM (Thats what everyone wants, right?), more specifically to get a newer version of Android. I found the Aurora ROM by Dzo and I flashed 2.04 and it seems very fluid and fast. I didn't upgrade from the official 2.3 because I couldn't find the files. I'm really liking the ICS environment.
My first question is: How do I find/install a baseband? I want to use this as my daily ROM and I can't do much without signal.
Second, My battery indicator is not working and how do I fix this?
Thirdly, When I put the device to sleep for about 5 secs or more it will not wake up and reboots. Is this fixed with a later patch?
And lastly, What upgrade pattern should I use to get up to 5.0? (e.g. 2.04-2.5-2.6 etc or jump straight to a version and go from there)
Thanks in advance

First of All,you must install official gingerbread for install ICS.
Your problems (battery and baseband) are causing by old amss.bin (baseband) and old bootloader.
First,install official gingerbread with code name V100R001C00B518G001. If you install this version,you must not do root for install Aurora ICS.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lws54xxb3lcm7di
If you install it,You must install CWM 5.0.2.8 or CWM 5.0.2.7 or CWM 6.0.2.8 or CWM 5.5.0.4 or TWRP Recovery. My prefence is install CWM 6.0.2.8
Here is 6.0.2.8;
http://code.google.com/p/forumber-projects-for-u8800/downloads/detail?name=recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-2.6.35.7-u8800.img&can=2&q=
1.Download the recovery
2.Remove SD Card and delete dload folder in phone's internal memory (if exists).
3.Power on the device while pushing volume up and down buttons.
4.If the pink screen appears,connect the phone to PC and wait for detect the phone
5.Rename downloaded img file to recovery.img and copy it to image folder in mass storage in Pink Screen
6. Download latest Aurora 5.0 and update 20 and copy those files to your sd card.
7. Power On the phone while pressing volume up button.
8. Backup the system to your sd card
9. Do "Wipe data/factory set"
10.Install Aurora 5.0,then install update 20
11.Reboot the system. And that's it! Enjoy the ICS

Just one question, Do I install gingerbread without the device rooted? and do I have to wipe my phone?

You can install offical gingerbread on rooted ROM. You don't need to wipe because the system will do wipe automaticly

No. You do not have to wipe. But you can if you want.
To install official gingerbread, you can install it over a rooted or a non rooted device. It doesn't matter because when you install gingerbread. The device will automatically be un rooted. You would have to root your device again after installing official gingerbread.
The easiest way to root gingerbread is to use SuperOneClick. Here is a tutorial for rooting your gingerbread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
In the link above, just do the steps under 'Rooting the U8800 with SuperOneClick v2.3.3' and 'Installing ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 on your U8800'.
I hope I helped. Good Luck and have fun rooting!

When I try to flash the Gingerbread ROM, It says Installation aborted. Why is this?
I am using CWM 5.5.0.4

That's not right...

You do not flash official firmware with CWM.
You must extract the file that you have downloaded.
After extracting it, keep going into the extracted files until you find a folder called 'dload'.
Copy this dload folder to the root of sdcard.
Now, power on your phone by pressing and holding down the power + volume up + volume down buttons all together.
The phone will automatically start installing the official android 2.3

If you don't understand anything then you are welcome to ask me about it. I will explain it to you.
Good Luck!

General advice prior to Flashing any phoneIts always best to do a "clean" install. meaning you should remove any old scripts, data, cache, junk before flashing a new ROM, this is like taking a bath before using new clothes. For some models it is a must do, for others it may not be a major problem or can be resolved by flashing the dbdata.rfs to clear out the remaining junk that you failed to remove before flashing . But if you had "lagfix" and did not undo it, it can cause internal SD card unavailable situation, which can be difficult to resolve.
Hence before flashing its advisable to
a) undo lagfix, IF you had any.
b) Do a factory reset by settings>Privacy> factory reset ( erase SD Card - optional , as formatting SD card could be too)
c) And even going into recovery to wipe everything is also good.
d) Removing SIM Card and External SD card ( makes it easier for phone to boot up initially after flashing a new ROM)
Doing this will give you a "Clean" install or fresh start for your phone.
Make sure your Battery Charge is more than 50%, Samsung requires you to have 100% charge when using KIES to upgrade.
Reminder, What you do with your Phone is your own responsibility, so do it at your own risk​ ​Flashing Procedure for Stock ROM using Odin3​
1). You need to Factory Reset Phone first go to settings >Privacy> factory reset also can be done in recovery
2) Power Down and Enter Recovery Mode and wipe data and wipe cache
3) Power down and remove battery, Then reinsert the battery and Enter Download Mode
4) Fireup Odin3 on PC and Connect phone with USB cable to PC
5) Now select the ROM you had downloaded in Odin under PDA ( do not tick or press anything else )
5a) This is optional, depending on needs, meaning if your phone has problems than PIT file is used to partition the partitions.
When using , select M190S PIT file under PIT and (make sure re-partition is checked on Odin3)
When not using do not select re-partition on Odin3
6) Press Start Button on Odin3 and wait till is completed
7) Once phone has booted up and everything is working, power down and enter Recovery Mode, here you "factory Reset" phone one more time
That's it Now you will be using the new ROM you just flashed.
For Rootiing M190S using Tegrak kernel, ​Flashing Procedure for Custom ROMs using CWM
like CM, AOKP, MIUI​
Custom ROM Downloads
Download from Here CWM Recovery, CM, AOKP MIUI etc
CM 9.1 all fixed
Basic Knowledge ​
First make a Backup of your current ROM, such that you can return to it, IF the ICS, Jelly Bean ROM is not what you expected it to be. How?
When Using a tegrak Kernel on the M190S , you can get this done on the bootup screen , by entering it and making a system and also a dbdata/data backup of your phone, which can be restored by using the terak kernel again IF WD19 ROM is what suits you best.
Your backup will be placed in the Tegrak Folder in the Internal SD card...so save this to your PC or external SD card for safe keeping.
Stock and Tegrak Kernel cannot be used for ICS or Jelly Bean ROM, and you need to use a Version 5 and up CWM (ClockWorkMOD) recovery, to flash the Jelly Bean or ICS ROM direct from your SD card...as such the first thing you need to do is change the Recovery on your M190S to a version 5 ClockWorkMOD.
Which means you need to use Odin and Flash the recovery.tar in download mode, just like you flash kernels and gingerbread ROM's on your phone in the past.
Here is the basic procedure for Jelly Bean or ICS Roms upgrade​
1) Download the CWM Recovery.tar File attached below, the ROMs in .zip format ( it can be as many as you wish, for you to test them out, one after the other) and Place them in a Folder (create and name it as you wish) on your SD Card Also Download the Gapps.zip (Google apps) Files that need to be flashed after flashing the ROM. ( So it will always be two packages to flash, in order to get your phone functioning)
2) Flash the version 5 and up CWM recovery on your Phone, How?
Put your phone into download mode, Fireup Odin3 on your PC, connect to Odin3 with USB cable, select CWM Ver.5.0 recovery.tar under PDA and Flash it. Ensure you do not reboot the phone by "UNTICK" reboot in Odin3 such that it will not power ON after Flashing, in case it does power ON, just pull out Battery , press power button for 30 seconds and insert battery again
3) After flashing recovery with Odin, You can enter " Recovery Mode" . You do this every-time you want to switch to a JellyBean or iCS ROM or to utilize the many features this recovery has, like Backup/restore/fix permissions and mostly to do the full wipes (NEEDED to be done every time you want to SWITCH ROMS) etc
4) Once in CWM Recovery you do the Full wipes (use your volume keys to move up or down in the recovery menu to select and the power key to execute that command).
The undermentioned wipes need to be done and will constitute a FULL Wipe of your Phone but your SD card will not be fully formatted as such your Images and other non system files will remain as is.
a) Wipe data / Factory reset
b) Wipe cache
c) Enter advanced and wipe dalvic Cache
Once the full wipes are done,
5) You now choose the ROM you placed in your SD card by selecting "Install zip from sdcard" which will lead you to "choose zip from sdcard", which will take you to all the folders you have on your SD Card..scroll down to where you placed the downloaded files and select it
Once selected the ROM will be Flashed on to your phone, so wait till it says "install completed" Now you do the same selection process again (Step 5) to select the Gapps file and wait till it says "Install completed"
6) That's it, Now select "Reboot system Now".
Now the ROM has been installed on your phone, so let it boot up and you can repeat this procedure to switch again and again till you have the best ROM of your choosing.
​
In the event that it fails to boot-up or you placed a wrong ROM that caused a boot loop or any other problem, just look in My Android Solutions , IF you cannot enter Recovery mode to flash another ROM.
You can also use Odin3 to Flash a Gingerbread ROM in Download mode and use your backup to return your phone to its original state.

stl10 means you have some junk in your data partition, (most likely mp3 files) that needs clearing, so you have to flash the dbdata.rfs already in your ROM package one more time, try to unzip the ROM and flash only the dbdata.rfs file using Odin3 as PDA

I am not sure which m190s ROM has the CSC files as well as others that you mention and I do not use this model, so I will attach the dbdata.rfs file for M110S, which is identical and closest to this model, flash it to recover and solve your problem after that you can flash the WD19 ( M190S Latest ROM) to make it perfect.

you need to read and follow the guide, for factory reset, and wipes are very important and must be done for Korean versions. In fact Internal SD card has to be formatted before flashing for Korean phones.
so now try this use PIT file (re partition must be ticked) with the froyo ROM , you need to enter recovery to do wipes once it has booted, read the guide.
if that failed than use the CWM recovery with auto reboot unticked , after that power down by removing battery than enter CWM using combo keys, here you need to the wipes as mentioned in the guide than flash the Jellybean ROM using CWM

solution depends on what and how you try to root your phone, so if you don't provide all the details and what you phone is saying on its screen, its not possible to guess what you did.
but if you flashed CWM and reboot phone, you need to read the guide again, as it is written, you should not reboot but enter CWM recovery to flash the ROM
You can also look at My Android Solutions ( link below) to see anything similar

your screen shot is showing the stock 3e recovery ( means you had flashed a stock ROM), if you flash the CWM kernel and power down and use combo keys as written in first post you will get CWM recovery
it does not matter as long as the ROM you downloaded and flashed was for M190S . so here I am assuming you had not followed the flashing procedures as you must do the wipes and factory reset before and after flashing.
Please take your time to read and read the guide before flashing , its a step by step process, nothing must be skipped.

[Q] i9505 won't start after changes to framework-res.apk [SOLVED]

Guys, I tried making some changes to framework-res.apk on my i9505, to change the background color...
but when I pressed to overwrite the original framework-res.apk to my modified one, the phone freezed and restarted, but now it wont start...
it's stuck on a screen where's written "SAMSUNG" and there's a glowing blue/purple behind it
is there anyway I can reach the root without turning the phone on again, so I can put the original framework-res.apk again?

If you have an SD card on your phone just remove it and put it on your Laptop/PC and make a flashable zip with a stock framework and and copy it to your sd card and flash the zip file via recovery. and that should fix your problem. If not then you need to reflash the rom in order to make it work

That sounded a good and simple idea, but I think i'm doing something wrong, I tried doing like you said, making a flashable zip with the stock framework...
So I put my S4 on recovery mode, when to "update from external storage" (or something like that), and tried to flash the zip, some text showed up on the screen, I didn't had the time to write it all down, so I wrote only the red part:
E:footer is wrong
E:footer is wrong
E:signature verification failed
could it be that the apktool made some changes to the original apk while I was making a modified one?
edit: I tried flashing a new zip now, with the modified framework... and it got the same 3 errors messages, and still wont boot :/
I have a backup on the internal storage, of a version of the framework that i'm sure is not modified, is there anyway I can access it?

Bro there's No way you can flash any zip file since your using a stock recovery... You need atleast a custom recovery such as Philz/TWRP. and flashing a recovery more likely will void your warranty. But if you dont care about warranty then flash a custom one but if you do care about that warranty then the only fix is to Flash a stock Rom , Its all up to you. Let me know.

That is correct Im sorry mate , You can Either boot into recovery and Do Factory reset /wipe cache , Or Flash a stock rom. Or either check On How to restore a backup in Google.com You might save the backup on SD card.But im Not sure how does it work Since im using Google account to backup and restores my Stuff..
Boot into recovery mode (power+vol up)
- Choose to wipe/factory reset. (THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD!)
- Then choose reboot and you should be good to go!

I noticed that even stuck on the samsung message, it at least is recognized @ the USB, so I tried doing "adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework", and just when I was getting happy, it said:
failed to copy 'framework-res.apk' to 'system/framework/framework-res.apk': Read-only file system
is there any command to "untick" the read-only via adb?
after searching on the internet, I found some people saying that you shoud type:
"adb shell
su"
and remount
but after I type su, any new command I type, wont work, it only repeat what I type...

Sorry for the double post, but this is sad:

but... it still get stuck at the same samsung logo

Sorry for the triple post, but since nobody is answering me, and the topic was almost at the second page, I had no other option...
I made a video of what's happening...
at the beggining, it show how the files are stored inside the flashable zip
then I show the zip being flashed with the CWM
then I show the device restarting (everytime I try to restart via CWM, flashing zip or not, it ask if it should fix root, what does it mean?)
and, the device getting stuck at the same SAMSUNG screen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-uJC9NZV8s
ok, finally I made it, I went to the "mount unmount" and mounted the system before flashing the zip, restarted, and it's working perfectly now

BUTTON.

NANDROID BACKUP​NOTE: If the backup's android version was on an android version older than the one you are trying to flash DO NOT FLASH IT.(pss. it does no harm, just it is worthless)
NOTE: Backup must be done before wiping any partitions.
NOTE: In the following methods i will be using TWRP as custom recovery.
BACK UP PROCEDURE
1) Boot into recovery mode. (In order to do so, press Volume Up (+), Homebutton and the Power-Button at the same time untill you see the S3 Mini Logo, then release the Power-Button and keep pressing Volume Up (+) and the Homebutton untill you see the TWRP logo!)
2) From the main menu of the TWRP press the Backup button.
3) Then tick the partitions that you want to backup (Preferably Boot, Data and System).
4) Make sure that your destination folder is on your external sd-card. (If you dont have micro a sd card, save it on the internal storage and then transfer the files to a computer.
5) Choose a name or leave the auto-generated one.
6) Enable encryption, so others can't install your backup with all of your apps, contacts, accounts etc.
7) Swipe to Back Up.
8) DONE!

CUSTOM RECOVERY METHODS​
NOTE: In the following methods i will be using TWRP as custom recovery.
NOTE: The following methods are completely different from each other, thus you should NOT try to mix them.
METHOD NO.1 (The clean installation) RECOMMENDED​It is recomended but not necessary to perform a FORMAT DATA wipe before wiping the bellow partitions.
As you may have heard the clean installation, is a method that wipes all your device's DALVIK CACHE, SYSTEM, CACHE, DATA and INTERNAL STORAGE partitions.
YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MAKING THE PHONE UNSUABLE.
By wiping SYSTEM partition, you only wipe the old ROM's files. The new ROM will genarate new proper files.
By wiping DALVIK CACHE and CACHE, you just clean the old " mess" of installed apps etc.
By wiping INTERNAL STORAGE and DATA you DO delete all of your personal files, apps, phone contacts etc.
WIPE PROCEDURE
1) From the main menu of the TWRP press the Wipe button.
If you dont want to follow the step 2 go to step 4.
2) OPTIONAL BUT RECOMENDED: Then press the Format Data button.
2a) Go back.
2b) From the main menu of the TWRP press the Reboot button.
2c) Then press the Recovery button.
After that your device will reboot by it self into recovery mode, continue.
3) From the main menu of the TWRP press the Wipe button.
4) Then press the Advanced Wipe button.
5) Tick the Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage.
BE CAREFULL, DO NOT WIPE your Micro SD Card! Otherwise you will not be able to install your ROM.
6) Swipe to Wipe.
7) DONE!
INSTALL PROCEDURE
1) From the main menu of the TWRP press the Install button.
2) Browse to your micro sd card.
3) Find the ROM.zip file you want to install.
4) Press on it.
5) Then Swipe to Confirm Flash.
OPTIONAL STEPS FOR GAPPS PACKAGE. IF YOU DONT WANT TO INSTALL IT CONTINUE TO STEP 8

METHOD NO.2 (The "dirty" installation) NOT RECOMENDED​With this method you DO NOT wipe your INTERNAL STORAGE nor your DATA. You only wipe the absolutely unnecessary files from the old rom so the new rom can genarate new ones.
As you may have heard the "dirty" installation, is a method that only wipes DALVIK CACHE and CACHE.
By wiping DALVIK CACHE and CACHE, you just clean the old " mess" of installed apps etc.

9) Then press the System button.
10) DONE!

ODIN METHOD​
NOTE: With the following method you can't install Gapps. If you wish to install GApps you must install them with a custom recovery and by following the FLASH USING CUSTOM RECOVERY METHODS post. Same goes for the super su.
INSTALL PROCEDURE
1) Boot into Download mode. (In order to do so, press Volume Down (-), Homebutton and the Power-Button at the same time untill you see the Green warning screen. Then press the Volume Up).
2) Connect the device to the computer.
3) Open Odin on the computer.
4) Check if your device is being recognised on the top left of the Odin window. There should be displayed something like (e.x. 0:[COM3]). (If nothing is displayed, you propably didn't install the Drivers or you installed the wrong ones)
5) Make sure that only Auto Reboot and F.Reset time are ticked.
6) Press ONLY the PDA button.
7) Browse to your downloaded file (e.x. ROM.tar.md5).
8) Select it.
9) Press Start.
10) Wait untill the device reboots and on the top left is displayed one green box saying PASS!.
11) Unplug the device from the computer.
12) Immediately remove the cover and take out the battery.
13) Wait 5 secs and then put it back again.
14) Boot into recovery mode. (In order to do so, press Volume Up (+), Homebutton and the Power-Button at the same time untill you see the S3 Mini Logo, then release the Power-Button and keep pressing Volume Up (+) and the Homebutton)
15) Wipe data/factory reset.
16) Wipe Cache partition.
17) Press reboot system now.
18) DONE!

UNBRICK​
NOTE: Please be sure that your device is bricked. To know if your device is bricked, your device should not boot into your current ROM at all and at some cases not even on (Custom) recovery. In other words you suffer from what is called bootloop.
If you are able to boot into your already flashed custom recovery use the FLASH USING CUSTOM RECOVERY METHODS and flash your custom ROM to regain access to the phone.
If you can not boot into your custom recovery but you can boot in download mode the problem is repairable. Be sure that you have the original recovery installed before you flash the Stock ROM because some roms don't include it and it may cause some issues.
If you can not even boot in download mode then your device is hard bricked and you must use an usb jig in order to make your device boot into download mode(ONLY) again. If at the end, you still can not boot into download mode then there is nothing you can do from a software-side
Download the stock rom you need form here: www.sammobile.com and unzip it on your computer.
UNBRICK PROCEDURE
1) Boot into Download mode. (In order to do so, press Volume Down (-), Homebutton and the Power-Button at the same time untill you see the Green warning screen. Then press the Volume Up).
2) Connect the device to the computer.
3) Open Odin on the computer.
4) Check if your device is being recognised on the top left of the Odin window. There should be displayed something like (e.x. 0:[COM3]). (If nothing is displayed, you propably didn't install the Drivers or you installed the wrong ones)
5) Make sure that only Auto Reboot and F.Reset time are ticked.
6) Press ONLY the PDA button.
7) Browse to your downloaded file (e.x. ROM.tar.md5).
8) Select it.
9) Press Start.
10) Wait untill the device reboots and on the top left is displayed one green box saying PASS!.
11) Unplug the device from the computer.
12) Immediately remove the cover and take out the battery.
13) Wait 5 secs and then put it back again.
14) Boot into recovery mode. (In order to do so, press Volume Up (+), Homebutton and the Power-Button at the same time untill you see the S3 Mini Logo, then release the Power-Button and keep pressing Volume Up (+) and the Homebutton)
15) Wipe data/factory reset.
16) Wipe Cache partition.
17) Press reboot system now.
18) DONE!
If everything went as it should you should now have stock rom with stock recovery installed.

In the ODIN method you dont mention how to install Gapps. Please explain me how to install Gapps with the odin method. And also i have a question... if I will use the odin method i will have root after installation?

The most known and safe (in a way) method is flashing your ROM with a Custom Recovery which i highly recommend [also you dont mess alot with the binary counter that way(if you dont know what this is , please google it)], but if you want to go with the Odin method that's ok with me.
About GApps: In actually fact you can't flash GApps with Odin. GApps were created only be to flashed with a Custom Recovery(whether this is TWRP or CWM).
My suggestions are that after you flash your desired ROM with the Odin method there are two options:
1)You flash a Custom Recovery via Odin and then you use the guide from above(FLASH USING CUSTOM RECOVERY METHODS) and only follow the steps from 6a to 6e and then only the 8th step.
About the Root Access after flashing with Odin: That depends only from ROM that you flashed. If you want root access and your ROM does not support native Root Access you must install a custom recovery and from there flash the supersu.zip file.
NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE:After you flashed your rom via Odin (and taking into consideration that you dont have a custom recovery) you should enable ROM's native root access managment tool. From there you can experiment as you like.
I hope i helped good luck and play it safe .

Which is the best custom ROM for s3 mini GT-I8190

Really you cant define which one is the best. All of the roms that have been ported/created from our developers here, are great. It really depends on your personal liking.

Fusionkat ROM is a stock rom, so in order to flash it you have to use the odin method from the guide that i wrote on this page. Stock roms can only be flashed with Odin.

Hi btw can i flash rom for i8190 for i8190n?

I think its better if dalvik cache & cache will be cleaned again after installation and before rebooting the system in the Clean Installation

If you mean whether or not you are able to flash a rom intented for i8190 on a i8190N the answer is yes.

I think it makes no difference since you delete every thing and also reboot the device after you wiped.

If you dont have a rooted device and you want to install a custom rom, you can use the Odin Method. Consider that i don't recommend this type of thing. It is way better to have at least a custom recovery, then you can do whatever you want on your device. Best of luck

Thank you very much for the guide. I am new to flashing ROMs/rooting my phone and such (but I've done a whole lot of reading and I think I'm about up to speed, seems like fun stuff!) but I was just wondering if there is any way to do this using the Odin method BUT without having to download TWRP?? I have a mad nasty virus on here called pornclub (yet I don't actually watch any porn on my phone, if ever at all (gofigure! :| ...))
This virus started out just trying to download apps while I was connected to the internet and firing up popups for different supermarket stores etc, which was bare-able, but I done a factory reset on the thing and now it seems like the virus is back- and with a vengeance!!! It completely fills the whole phone with popups saying 'hot sexy girls now' etc and downloading so many different silly apps that I can't actually even use any function on the phone any more. So that means no phonecalls, texts, anything, it literally takes over the whole phone with these apps and pictures of all the 'sexy sluts' I can apparently go and meet right now. I also obviously cannot download TWRP or anything else for that matter.
So do I have any silver lining to my boob shaped cloud? Just need to know if there is any way I can just flash a new custom mod without having to download anything on the actual phone at this point, as I have just done a factory reset and now cannot access any functions on there because of popups etc.
Thank you very much kindly in advance for any help. Much appreciated!
edit: I should mention that it now also switches on the wifi and mobile data simultaneously without me even touching it. I currently have the phone sitting on download mode and charging.

So that means no phonecalls, texts, anything, it literally takes over the whole phone with these apps and pictures of all the 'sexy sluts' I can apparently go and meet right now. I also obviously cannot download TWRP or anything else for that matter.
So do I have any silver lining to my boob shaped cloud? Just need to know if there is any way I can just flash a new custom mod without having to download anything on the actual phone at this point, as I have just done a factory reset and now cannot access any functions on there because of popups etc.
Thank you very much kindly in advance for any help. Much appreciated!
edit: I should mention that it now also switches on the wifi and mobile data simultaneously without me even touching it. I currently have the phone sitting on download mode and charging.

Wow you seem to be in trouble but we can FIX it!
First of all i need you to have your battery charged to 100%.( if you cant charge your phone while its on, remove the battery and charge it to another phone or charge it with an external battery charger )
Power off your phone.
With the 3 button compination, go to your current(stock for you i think) recovery and do a factory reset. This will wipe all your data thus the virus.
After all this, boot into your rom.
Then you can flash a custom recovery and flash any rom you want.
You are done!
If this does not work for you, just let me know and i will post another solution.(i am not posting it right now cause it is more complicated!)
EDIT: Sorry for the delay but i didnt saw that you had already done a factory reset and it didnt work. That means that the virus is propably on the sd card. The solution is to wipe your sdcard and use the odin method. As simple as that. Please next time try to keep the things you tried and what is your problem together.

Oops, sorry about that. Thank you for the reply.
I took the sd card out a long time ago but the problem is still there somehow. When I switch on the phone, I have about seconds before I can no longer use it because of popups etc...
Also, I just checked and it seems like I joined these forums on the exact same date as you but 1 year later, we both joined on the 18th of January.
