Hi everyone! I own a verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 mini, rooted. I received a message that a software update was available. I tried to install but every time it fails. Any suggestion would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Manually download the update and flash it with Odin.
Thanks. Is there a guide on how to use odin?

did you not do a backup
try sammobile
Here is the procedure

Take into accoun the firmware version, if you have the lastest, there is no way of going back to an older one.
You'll have to use one ending on H8

No I don't sorry
Don't know if this is what your lookin for ?
what drivers? PC S4 (USB and other) drivers? Go and install Kies and let it connect once, it will DL the proper drivers and install them, and after that kill Kies and Kies processes on your PC and you're set for Odin...
Edit: Then if you need those specific drivers again and on the same PC (or even a different one), then repeat the steps or simply perform the backup with Driver Magician or similar and you'll have them even after the PC format...
Dang! now I already rooted my phone. So whats next for me? Should i install recovery now?
Go ahead and install a custom recovery and flash away.

Here is cwm rec (bottom 1st post)here just flash the .tar via odin
PhilZ is an advanced version of custom recovery with more customization and options. It is working great and I don't really see the need to go for a regular CWM; either PhilZ or TWRP should be the way to go - depends on what you fancy more :good:
Hi
I tested a different recovery but I want the orignal back,is there someone here that got that and can give me a link?
best regards

You should have told us which S5 model and firmware version you have?
You can get this from the stock firmware download.

Hi there, could you provide a link to the Stock Firmware for the SM-G900F Snapdragon (international variant). I swear I googled my ass off but al links I find are incredbily slow and take more than two hours (SamMobile, Terafile, etc.). It would be very much appreciated!

There is no Odin flashable file of KitKat available. You have to root your device first then flash custom KitKat roms via custom recoveries.

There is no official 4.2.2.
The last official rom is a 4.3.
Search sammobile for you're last 4.3 rom.
Downloading from there than you can use odin.

Its safe when you follow the guide.
You can get a softbrick, do a full wipe when you finished flashing, than your phone wil start.
Notice that after flashing it can take up some time before it boots.

umh one more thing coolhof. what if I flash 4.4.2 kitkat on my device, is it safe? what I mean is, is the rom safe to my s3? or it will hardbrick my phone like samsung s2 issue? about flashing rom.
thanks you so much coolhof
If you follow the steps from the OP than you are 99% safe.
Make a nandroid and a backup from your efs before flashing a kk rom.
