[Q] defy mini (what exactly we need wait to be able to root?)

What exactly we(Defy mini users) are waiting?
1- Motorola releases some code so it can be rooted, 2- or some bad ass programmer discover how to root it?
Cuz in case 1, i can start to became worried, in case Motorola never releases this "code"...
Thank you!

Look here around. I see a threat where some rooted a defy mini.

Link from AT&T Note II - 4.3 leak

Hi,
Sometimes I check what happens in the AT&T Galaxy Note II threads. This morning I found this thread there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496292
I haven't tested it, and I don't know how it will work on N7105. I'm just posting the link and take no credit for that. Please check the OP for more info if you are interested.
Cheers!

This is a leak for i317..
Its probably not a good idea to flash this to n7105. ....
GT N7105 with XDA Premium......that is all......

Perhaps not a good idea to flash. Maybe some dev can look at the kernel and see if there is something useful there for us, but maybe it is to much work for little gain. Hopefully we can get our own leak soon

just looked at it quick, but there's a few reason's i wouldn't flash it on my device
1) its a leak so not fully bugfree probably
2) its not for the 7105 meaning modem will probably be different and kernel as well
3) knox, if they haven't implemented a workaround for it its a one way ride, can't flash other roms afterwards
4) no root
3+4 would also be the reason i wouldn't flash the official or leaked 4.3 for the n7105 untill there's a root option for it and they have a workaround for knox ^^
just give it a short while and we have our own leaked rom, as samsung probably got rid of most of the general bugs/issues present in the rom with the leaked 7100, now its a matter of leaking out device specific roms in order to see if there are device specific issues that need to be taken care off

I317 roms work on n7105. Is there any way to decompile the rom and replace the modem with one from mf2?

DerTeufel1980 has the n7105 and he's probably the most experienced developer with our device I know. Might be worth asking him to take a look if he hasn't already

don't think that statement is completely true, if i'm not mistaken the n7105 (t0lte) build should work on all the other devices as its more generic, but due to some changes in the builds the other ones won't work as well on the 7105.
if they where all the same and all work witouth any issues on every device, then it would be pointless to release for example a rom for both t0lteatt and t0ltetmo if a rom for t0lte would be enough for all 3 models.
You got me curious though and it's gonna be something i'm gonna take a deeper look at, but if a single rom would be sufficient for all models then the dev's would be wasting a lot of time by creating all those different models
So taking that into account i would say that even though it works by using a t0lte rom on your t0lteatt, it won't mean a tolteatt rom would work all that well on a t0lte.

okay, i just googled it and gonna correct myself a bit the roms are exactly the same, the only difference is what they are called in the about phone part of the settings.
if there's more differences please let me know, i'm extremely curious now

The only difference is the modems being different. The kernels are interchangeable.
Sent from my SGH-I317M using Tapatalk now Free

if the modems are different i wouldn't advise flashing a non t0lte rom onto a t0lte, especially if there's no way to root and/or revert back to older roms in an easy way.
haven't read up since earlier this morning so i'm a bit clueless as to what's happening in the leaked rom thread, but if you flash the rom and you get stuck with it, its not something worthwile, especially not if we would get a leaked version of our own soon
gonna make a big gamble here but i would say that samsung will "leak" a version for the n7105 within 2 weeks, hasn't been that long since the 7100 got a leaked rom, and now there's a new one for the AT&T so maybe 2 weeks max and it'll be here Seeing as the only differences between the devices is software related.
rather be patient and use a leaked version meant for the device i have, rather than screw things up by being impatient and flash a rom that might or might not work

As far as I read it in the att thread, people just could root it and install custom recovery as always.
I am also trying to make a flashable zip of it, but never did things like this before, hence I don't know if it works.

On Windows I am using ext4_unpacker and ext2explorer to extract the contents of the *.img files. You then just can place it in a zip.
I just swapped my extracted system.img with the one from hurricane 4.3 rom.
This gave me a functional zip which took me just 10 minutes.
Unfortunately I seem to be missing something, and I am stuck during boot.

Custom Rom QUESTION

Hello Android users :victory:
I updated my galaxy s5 to lollipop and i loved it from the start. I found it very smooth , fast but it was also a really disappointment because of it's battery life. After i update it AND restore it as factory new couldn't get a good battery life. So i was thinking of a custom rom..
That's why i am here is to ask you guys for a custom rom with touchwiz interface and great battery life. Any recomandations? And also maybe a tutorial on how to do it. ( fresh Samsung user )
I would really apreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

You should check out Xestro Lite ROM. For advice on rooting visit Chainfire's one click root thread.

Actually I wouldn't recommend CF Auto root. For me personally it never works and I always get soft bricked. Second thing is that if you are beyond BNL version of Touchwiz, rooting it probably won't work.

so it has miui 7 features but it is on kitkat ?
so you get features, exchange of less features ?
not a good deal ..

com.android.phone errors upon every reboot. Doesn't matter if you flush cache / dalvik... same problem everytime.
Even deleting data and reinstalling everything from backup. Upon reboot, com.android.phone errors.
This means no telephony network. Big problem
D855 version if you're interested. I came from 5.8.26 version without any problems.

Kitkat is only supported yet for other devices because of MIUI needs to update their build tool aka patch Rom and the build was most likely based on KK while built.

Excellent. Soon as I get a chance this evening I'll charge up the tablet and fastboot flash recovery your image.
Shocking to think a cheap Teclast tablet has had more use lately due to my ultratablet being essentially useless thanks to repeated freezes and occasional reboots. Shame really, as the physical device is fantastic. (I really should grab a logcat from the device to see what's causing the freezes but I've been busy with things and I suspect the logcat may not catch the problem. )

fastboot flash recovery 12.1-20160531-UNOFFICIAL-sk1wg_recovery.img gives the following error output

I, too, will test when available. Unlike TWRP or even CWM I've used in the past, the Cyanogenmod recovery does not seem to have the ability to perform a system backup. Is this something to be added or just do full backups via adb?

Thanks mate. Jide's kernel source is realy strange, they dont to it easy for their community to support custom roms. You've to change a lot in kernel config files only to build the recovery. Now im debugging why kernel wont Boot, maybe i need a null serial cable (usb to serial) to get some debug output to my host console (Linux).
Dont know if its serious for others and i dont know if its the correct definition in english, here in switzerland its called morbus crohn. But thanks for your support ?
