//I AM STILL TYPING AND WILL TAKE TIME << SO DONT REPLY
i had typed and mistakenly deleted the tab before clicking post :|...i will delete these two lines once i am done with everything//
guys!
something we are all familiar with on galaxy grand forum is spamming!
indeed there are still many users/new users who post WRONG POSTS in WRONG SECTIONS..
still u can find questions which are off-topic/not related to forum/which have been answered several times/which have been asked several times by making new threads etc.
it not only takes up unnecessary space on server, but also lowers the value of GALAXY GRAND DUOS community..
developers getting pissed by day to day ETA's and helpers pissed by posting same and same answer, to several people !
i do know that xda's search option on top right might be not that accurate for some here,
SO
here i am here making an illustrative thread,(after discussing and opinions from many on xda)
WHICH will not only help you to solve ur problems regarding roms, but also day to day frequently asked multiple times answered questions....
its possible that it does not contain everything that u need , but seriously guys, it will at least decrease number of SPAMS on our threads...
all problems will be mostly illustrated below.........
just read it once please before posting in all other forums....
Few Information better read before any Posting!! (most Important..)1. AOSP based Rom/ Non touchwiz Rom (cm11/carbon,resurection remix, paranoid android,Pac-man ,Omni,and others)DO NOT support DUAL SIM Functionality..(it Requires Broadcomm Specific Codes which are not released as Open Source)...
you want Dual Sim , be On any touchWiz based Rom(Stock, Gennxt , etc)..
2. Difference between Touchwiz based Roms and AOSP Based Roms of our Device
1. AOSP Roms DON'T HAVE Dual sim functionality.
2. these are small in size as have only basic android Framework and Do not include bloatwares.
(Roms size~198mbs+)
3. AOSP Roms don’t have TW features, (but have their own**)!
4. they are Highly Customizable and meant for performance.
5. Lower RAM Consumption compared to TouchWiz.
1. Touchwiz Roms HAVE dual sim functionality
2. TouchWiz Roms are Larger in size
because of heavy Framework and Bloatwares*
(ROM Size~844mb+)
3. Touchwiz Got its own specific Features and its own apps for Music/camera etc.
4.they got polish and looks (in own way).
5. High RAM consumption Compared to AOSP. * Custom Roms based on Touchwiz are mostly Bloats free.
**Features varies from Rom to Rom.....get a quicky info in Roms Section!
Recovery Mode and Download Mode
recovery mode- it is a mode used for multipurpose uses.......described below..
switch off the device..hold (vol. up +powe+menu) combination...and let device start..once device start...remove hands atleast from power button else it will switch it on again!!!
How to operate it???
use volume buttons to navigate up and down...
use power button to select!
stock recivery(by default samsung recovery has limited options below....
-reboot system now
(Reboots the system).
-apply sdcard:update.zip
(Install diverse updates like themes, custom roms etc.)
-wipe data/factory reset
(Deletes all the apps, data and system settings(Files on the external SD-card will stay untouched)
-wipe cache partition
(Only wipes (formats) /cache partition (sometimes used as temp storage for updates, market downloads, etc) it hasn't anything common with Dalvik-cache which is in /data by default and it implies that the following boot after wiping cache partition will not be any longer than usually.)
beacuse stock recovery is limited.....custom recoveries are important which have got special features like backup/restore...and many more..
I use CWM...and it is easy to use..i will tell in later section
Download mode- it is used to flash firmware by Odin...
Combination - (vol. down+menu+power button)
once it boots ..there will be a screen ..
volume up to confirm that u want to go ahead and flash by Odin.
volume down to backoff and restart if u did it by mistake.... using ODIN
(lifeline of Samsung firmware installers )
it is really simple app fpr windows PC to flash firmwares/kernels/recoveries etc.
when you brick your device, dont panic and post anywhere...just re-install the firmware by Odin for developer's sake
it will remove everything and simply will install the Samsung's firmware and will make your device like a fresh new one!
an app for saving asses of guys like me who unwillingly/unknowingly brick there device!!
Odin download
link~ http://bartztech.com/wp-content/uploads/YP-G1/Restore/Odin3v1.7.zip
Odin Prerequisites:-
When you need to flash using Odin, you need the Samsung drivers, so that Odin can detect your device while attached to PC via. USB cable....
- Samsung USB Drivers
linky~ http://www.mediafire.com/download/hzlnda0l5t8qyes/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones(3).exe
download drivers
remove old ones installed by control panel(if any)
reboot
install the drivers given
reboot
ready to be used
A stock Samsung USB cable (it seems to give better result than other USB cable bought on third party sellers.)
Flashing by Odin
Note- An Odin flashable file is supposed to be in .tar or .tar.md5 format only.
1.Run Odin.
2. Put your device in download mode(switch off then press vol down+power+menu button altogether.....once it starts..leave buttons else will switch off again coz u are holding power button remember !!)
3.You should see a yellow/blue rectangle with COM:xx and saying ready. that is your device ID actually.. It means that your device is ready to be flashed! (It is important because it means that device connected is recognized by Odin )
4.Go into the PDA section and take your .tar file.(if single file is given.)
if multiple .tar files are given then put CSC in CSC...phone/modem in PHONE section respectively
5. if there is also a pit file then make sure that re-partition box at left is UNCHECKED>!!
6. meditate for a while and ensure once again hat files u have selected are for galaxy grand duos only !!
obvious if you flash s3 files by Odin..you will end up in boot loop..
7. hit start and pray to god that all goes well *kidding*..it will
8.When it's finished, it should say that it's done with a green box saying PASS..if it says fail.....i.e. your USB is not accurately detected...or is detected but disconnects in between.... it happens sometimes if it is not THAT GOOD usb cable...dont panic..remove battery and repeat all steps again!! .just dont let it touched even by air if that happens..keep trying and it will work...once work is done..the first thing u do is get a good USB cable (its i am talking about extreme cases , there will be no problem else )
once it is done , device will be rebooted ( if reboot is checked in left box(u will get what i am talking about once you open app and see by yourself)
Note:- if you have flashed a firmware..first boot might take time from 3-10 minutes...just keep patience and wait....
if still it doesnt start after 10 minutes ....remove battery...re-insert...go in recovery mode..clear data/format and clear cache..now reboot..wait again.... and you are good to go
ROOTING and CWM
basic reason why most of people come on XDA is how to root!
thanks to @chotu222 who already have made a thread so that people can follow and acquire what they wished!!
i will be short and still descriptive!!!
(as it is already mentioned in forums and its pain to type so much :/)
PROCEDURE:
simply for quick pickers.. install CWM and then flash superUser through it!!
is it really that difficult to do??
there is a cwm given with SeLinux support(which is must for installing kitkat roms ), so why not just install that CWM and be carefree (whatever u flash, it wont give any problem)
simple two steps.....
Step 1: installing CWM...
here is SeLinux supported CWM file..(thanks to @pawitp \m/ )
linky~ http://goo.im/devs/pawitp/i9082_cm11.0/recovery_20131210.tar
download it and flash via odin
NOTE- while flashing by Odin , untick auto reboot Option(because rebooting device makes stock recovery to over-write over CWM recovery....)
once the flashing process is done....simply remove and re-insert battery, and go to Recovery Mode, flash the Fix-Recovery.zip given below...
that will fix your problem
Fix-Recovery link- http://www.mediafire.com/download/74mmd1x4af6hlo4/Fix-Recovery.zip.
Step 2: installing superSU: SuperSU allows for advanced management of Superuser access rights for all the apps on your device that need root.
linky~ http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.89.zip
just flash the superSU by CWM.....
reboot the device...
and your device is now rooted(check it if there is a superSU app in ur app drawer or not).
that is it!!
that's all it takes to root your device...
just 5 minutes :/
NO..You wont loose any data..its just that you simply installed an app in system root directory
Custom roms
Custom Roms are customized Roms for devices..providing us with various different options/advantages over stock Rom what we have Pre-installed by company!..it could be a de-bloated same stock rom w or w/o extra features,/ a whole new version of android/ a ROM based with UI built for different mobile...
simply..there are many Roms and the list is actually long..i cant simply explain but still tried to....
They are mostly based on Aosp/Aokp format(in simple words, with look of nexus UI), or OEM's based(in simple words like Samsung's touch wiz, htc's sense)..
every rom has its unique specialty..unique UI and Unique features.
OEM's are heavily programmed and sized, bloated with factory apps pre-included..
that is the reason that nexus based Roms (~250Mbs+) are twice smaller than the official firmwares(~800Mbs+)!
thanks to all respected Developers who did put such their efforts, and have provided us with so many ROMs !
i am enlisting all ROMs down here with short descriptions, so that you can find everything under one thread here!
AOSP BASED ROMs-
Kitkat (android 4.4.2)
CyanogenMod 11-
thanks to @pawitp for developing this Rom. i dont think i need any explaination for CyanogenMod
its basic AOSP Rom based on Kitkat(4.4.2)...used as base rom for many Custom Roms, It is considered as standard Rom by many Users...Good battery backup,performance and less RAM consumption is speciality of this Rom..it don't implement much extra features except basics, as try to be as near to Nexus stock rom!
developer is always trying to update it as soon as CyanogenMod releases any update...
pawitp has also given delta update Option if you are using limited mbs and internet..its like update and patches which are directly supposed to be flashed (and are <20mbs)..just the modifications made are given , so that you dont download the whole rom...
NOTE- just read FAQ section in cm11 thread for more information on Delta updates.

Carbon Rom
One of the most appreciated Rom Built for galaxy Grand i9082 @xenon92 did put some serious green lantern efforts here (the reason why it has got amazing battery backup and performance)
personally, have used many Roms built for the device,but carbon Rom was the one with least problem when Run by ART compiler..
not only its RAM usage decreased from avg. 300 to 210, but also it supports Gapps in ART (while many Roms conflicts with gapps and give FCs in ART)
it has got many add-on features then just plain kitkat Roms...With the possibility of Halo getting Implemented it Near future(Depends on Carbon Team), lockscreen blur, notifications on lockscreen and Active display comprised as its one of good add on features, there is a Good battery backup (actually good,), with performance..
just give it a shot and u will love it

SlimKat
One of best thing about @xenon92 is that once he starts rolling new roms, he just cant stop ....
so again, introduced slimRom with kitkat power..
slimRoms are most light weight code based Roms , for performance!..they don't add any extra features(Halo and all) because performance is MUST
good when it comes to battery backup
just install and u will never regret it

Posting in the wrong section
@raghavsharmaxda you are posting in the wrong section!!!!
Post this in the general section.
The main reason I postes this here is coz many do come here for FAQ thread..
So its better that they read it here near FAQ thread (so that ppl think twice before posting noon kinda qsns in FAQ too and helpers do save sometime !!).
Still if its a trouble I will surely move it..
Thanks for advice...

+1...i also somehow feels the same......with grand becoming older and older down the line.......there wud be probably more activities in Q & A section with no more stock firmware upgrade and amazing devs developing new roms ( hopefully ) and new probs wud arise if any......
it's great someone has decided to write down all the important things we need to know of our phones in one place... Thanks a lot @raghavsharmaxda :d

I also suggest adding site-specific Google search, it's a lot better than XDA search. It should help a lot of newbs.
Add "site:xda-developers.com" after the keywords i.e. "battery drain problem site:xda-developers.com" and type it into Google search. It also works on other sites, not just XDA.

Mira, for Z5s Mini the tools are diferent, as you said this is diferent phones, diferent hardware. I'm using Z5S Mini So I can help you.
For Z5S Mini you need :
1) ADB Drivers - adb_drivers_z5s_mini_install
2) Root - AnzhiRoot
3) Get to Recovery - z5s_mini_Recovery
4) Install Gapps - gapps-jb-20130812-signed_2 .

There are pictures of this recovery in English, but you must find it in GOOGLE! Not only to wait someone to tell you. But because I'm a good person I will tell you - The "INSTALL FROM SD" is the SECOND option, and The WIPE/FACTORY resset is the THIRD OPTION.
First option is REBOOT DEVICE.
Good luck.
Hallo
i have rooted it and make cwm for googleapps, it runs fantastic!
now i see i can make a firmwareupdate with FOTA (firmware over the air).it has ca 160 mb.

We hope. Anyway there is an available function on ZTE Z5S mini (the "Screen projection") which permits to send a
stream video to the monitor via WiFi (i don't know if the audio stream too and i don't know if the mirroring is available),
i think that it uses DLNA (more likely) or Miracast technology, but i'm not sure to 100%, can someone confirm it?
hello guys. i have the huawei honor 2 phone and im thinking of upgrading it to this or to nubia z5s but i got a few question.
does phone mini have goriila glass also like nubia z5s?
how is battery life?
how much screen time do you get at maximum with brightness on lowest?
can you replace battery?
does zte nubia z5s mini have slowmotion camera like in z5s here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLS4fwFLwNs
the only things i dont know why to take nubia z5s or z5s mini is
reasone to take z5s mini has micro sd card whitch is great + its cheaper + snapdragon 600 is fast enought to run anything that's in the playstore (am i wrong about this?)
reasone to take z5s regular is = better screen with less battery draining + bigger battery + faster cpu+infrared but higher price and sd card only 16gb
whats really importent is to know how is battery life ... thanks!

Hi,
I also have same problem now, and I have no idea how to go further from the chinese recovery. Are there some different ways to update the firmware? Fota remembers me often that I should update, and it's annoying... Someone help us, please!

I have smartphone zte z5s mini nubia with custom ROM miui 4.2.28.

What should I do?
Thanks
i got this phone today but could not for the life of me get any recovery to work i updated the adb n everything but all i get is a black screen no lights nothing can anyone help me cos otherwise im gunna have to send it back
wifi issue, I need the files in /persist
I have a fully functional zte nubia z5s mini ( except from wifi and bt) rooted, english CWM, latest MIUI. Formatting /persist partition before installing MIUI caused the issue, there is a relevant thread explaining it all at bbs.nubia.cn/thread-112804-1-1.html (understood it using google translate).
To fix it I just need some files that were in that partition (nothing special, can be viewed with any root explorer) and get them back. Re-flashing any ROM wont do the job because that's the essence of the specific partition, to contain some files that wont be replaced by flashing a rom from recovery as I discovered by similar threads at xda for other phones.
The thing is that I cant download the files from nubia forum because to get the link I must register and registration does not work for me without any apparent reason.
Could someone make a copy of its own files ? There is nothing personal in there or phone specific / unique .. Net / BT drivers, and configuration files
As I said, nothing special needed, just copy all files / folders from /persist and make a zip .. I guess a backup from CWM would work also, never tired it (never needed to restore anything till now)
The issue is very annoying because apart from WiFi problem the phone is fully functional .. I know whats the problem, the files I need and the procedure (a simple copy) but after 3-4 days of searching have not been able to find the files ..
Could somebody please help by sending me its own files from /persist ?

Hi mrasnik0,
in this package there is the file "z5s_mini_Recovery.exe" that installs the CWM Revovery v6.0.4.5.
I would install a CyanogenMOD 11 KitKat on my Z5S mini but i need for a greater version of CWM recovery,
do you know if is available a CWM recovery version greater than 6.0.4.5 ?
...Update...
I would install the CyanoGenMod 11 4.4.2 version but to do this i
need TWRP Recovery first (because CWM Recovery can't flashes Android version 4.4.2),
can anyone tell me how can i do?
PS: i have downloaded TWRP Recovery (TWRP_kk_z5smini_v3_fix) through "tdbeta.cn" (i'm not able to link the thread) anyway
i follow the instruction but recovery mode is always set on CWM, i can't set TWRP as default recovery,
moreover ROM Manager doesn't detect TWRP Recovery but detects only CWM Recovery and Stock recovery
What i can do?
Thanks for answers

Hi Guys.
I have finally reached 10 posts and am able to post my S930 Vibe UI rom to XDA. It took me a lot of tries and a lot of wipes and resets to get it sorted out. Like always!, google helped and so did XDA forum mates (indirectly , but yes). :victory:

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BwkQgsLo9fXHQUFqZi1EM3lCcEk&usp=sharing
Screen shots for this is something i do not intend to upload right now. You can check the Vibeui for S930 or any vibe ui of the 1.5 version to know them.
I am also including the Carliv recovery i ported using the CTR-V2 tool. (astonishingly simple to use)
Flash as below:
1)S930-allfixed-rom for q1010i.zip
2) s930 sound patch.zip
3) GApps_Minimal_4.4.2_signed.zip
1) Boot to the rom. Go to settings>storage and switch to external.
2) Ensure you also check if the access point is set correctly for you. It was to portalnmms for me on vodafone. I changed mine to www.
3) Install the APKS
4) Test and provide feedback.
As of date , i have used it for over 3 days and am very very very happy. If someone has issues , i can try and help. But please try to search for answers first. Respect XDA folks and the forum by ensuring you respect your own intelligence (this can be proved by your search abilities.)
FLASH the rom via Carliv touch recovery. (made available in the same folder)
No, i will try to see if i can put it on 4shared. But till then use this. You can use firefox with the 'downthemall' extension and download this with resume functionality. (Grr.. for the people who never research)
Good work friend,
Best thing is it is kit kat based. Everything working fine. Superuser / Root was not there, I flashed SuperSU zip in CWM and got Root. Battery drain is the only major problem I hope soon you will solve it. Pre rooted ROM is great. Try to do that also.
Lenovo Weather app could not load Indian Cities. (Actually I don't like to Read weather in Chinese )
Thanks for Good work. ... Happy to Test ROMs...
Best of Luck

I need your help...
Hey there!
jd1639 gave me the advice to post my problem in this thread rather than wait for an answer in the xda-assist thread. For not having to write it all again, here is a link to the post I made: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/unbrick-wiko-rainbow-t3108133 . Seems like noone is able to help me on that issue, but I hope for your knowledge to come up with a solution...
Is it possible to use an update.zip to fix it? Thought of packing the whole stock-rom into a zip-file, rename and install it, and everything would be fine again. Tried to do so, but when I pick the "apply update from sdcard"-option in recovery menu, the system partition is shown instead of the sd card storage, and I don't know how to put the zip onto sys without adb.
If not even a pro like you knows a solution for this, do you think it is still possible to recognize, that I tried to install a custom firmware? Otherwise I could return it to Wiko and hope for a replacement!
Thank you for arguing with my problem by now, please let me know what you think about it.
Regards,
Metal-Moe
@Metal-Moe so let me try to help you..
you have 2 methods:
1.official tool
what you must do? connect your phone and run JB version (it appears v14 on wiko site)..i assume you know how to it.#see below the pictures and minitutorial.
charge your battery to full, this is important!! see if the software recognize your WIKO..run this drivers:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554018 and try to connect and reconnect your WIKO in different USB ports after you installed the drivers. (install anyway if appears a security warning)
2.SPFLASHTOOLS-.if doesnt work try the same method but with SP FLASHTOOLS..even in my computer sometimes doesnt recognize when testing developer roms..and i do that ..works for me..you just need to be patient and keep trying..one of the usb ports will work for sure..after it works flash stock JB and see if your IMEI is back..at least have your phone back to life..to restore your IMEI you have many methods..just PM or mention me to have a more faster answer..first lets see if we can bring back your phone from the dead.:good:
note:stock JB makes a folder inside that is SP FLASHABLE like this:

Thanks anyway!
@smokerman: Unfortunately I wasn't able to solve the problem with the possible solutions you'd mentioned, so I brought the bricked phone back to the local store, hoping it wouldn't be returned unrepaired due to guarantee loss. Two weeks later I got it back and it's working fine! But thank you for your effort in helping me anyway!
Now I'll backup the IMEI with MobileUncle before doing anything else!

v13 appears v8 as i said..this is v13 wiko rainbow firmware uploaded by me from OFFICIAL rom..so even it says v8 you know that this is the correct version..flash it with SP FLASHTOOLS:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952609461
