I have never seen that before ether. My only thought can be to back up your apps, contacts, etc. and re-flash the 4.4.2 update. You can download the OTA from this forum post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701062 (all credit to mazdamiata210 for the download)
It just seems like a bad flash or something of the sort to me.

Thanks for the link, it helped me, too.
You guys preaching to search (which I'm not against), I just wanted to point out that you linked to an entirely different site. Thus, had the OP searched *this* site, by your own admission, he/she might not have found what he/she was looking for. Interesting...
My 2 cents here...I had a rooted nexus one froyo 83b WITH a custom recovery.. which supposes to block the frf91 update..n guess what it didn't..my nexus rebooted..it didn't even reboot to recovery it just did a soft reset n when I it back on it had frf91 with no root access..so I'm like wtf?? So I tried to reboot to the custom recovery and yes..you guys guessed with...it went back to the original recovery...

Gotta agree, dont be lazy. Use the search like you should.
I just got an update notification also, and I'm rooted. I let it reboot/install but it showed an error. It was probably frf91.
ladies, congratulations on the update and re-rooting. i'm glad to hear that it worked out for yall.

[Q] Help! Galaxy S3 Mini I8190 not working! I'm REALLY desperate

Im getting desperate, PLEASE HELP!
ok, so yesterday i got a new SGS3 Mini I8190 with android version 4.1.1, i wanted to pass the apps that i downloaded to the SD card. so i saw that i had to root the phone bla bla bla. i try rooting it with odin following a website's tutorial on how to.
i get it into download mode and start followonf that tutorial. in a few seconds, the first square at odin says ''failed'' and my phone has almost 3/4 of the blue bar filled, and i cant do that. later i try turning it on and it has a phone, some dots, a yellow triangle with an exclamation sign, some more dots, and a computer.
then i dont know why, i just cant turn it on, i connect it and then theres only an icon that i think it means it charging but its fully charged!! its like a star that should spin but doesnt.
Please help me and let me know what to do, IM VERY NERVOUS.
if it works, i have Windows 7 x64.
Please help me!

Can you get into DOWNLOAD MODE?
If you can, you may be able to flash the firmware again.

[Q] How to root my version of the s3 mini?

Hi i think the threads in general is becoming way more a jungle to me than actually help
So I'm trying to find out which file or exploit i can use to get my phone rooted.
My model:
GT-I8190N
Base Band:
I8190NXXAMG1
And its European / Scandinavia version of the phone.
Any that have been in same boat that can guide me in right direction? or people that actually have the files to get it rooted for my exact model & version?
Thanks guys.
Try here. If doesn't work search better & it doesn't seems a jungle, don't be lazy.

Thanks for the quick answer and the quick judgement as well i assume, i already tried that trick and it did not work for me, perhaps i did something wrong but 2 times in a row and failed each i moved on with my search, iv tried for months to get it open ever since there was this tool on the forum where you could donate so he could add newer versions for support in his tool, now i cant really remember what name or the tool of it but, he suddenly became inactive or something. I guess I'm just stock on this ****ty rom, might as well just trash it and buy another phone.

[Q] Weird app and firmware update

So I was using my phone when suddenly there're notifications about a dummy app and a firmware update 12.1.X.0.2205. The dummy app didn't do anything much went opened tho. Just XPERIA written all over the screen. As for the firmware update it uses X instead of A and build 2205 just make no sense. Furthermore it's 0.2205 which I suppose is kind of weird. Any of you received the same or it was just me? I've searched the whole forum searching for answers and I can't find any. Is it just Sony mistakenly released it or what?
And as for the firmware update. I tried every means to get it installed but the installation failed. Just asking because of curiosity tho.
It might have been a mysterious force gave me superpowers through a weird phone update and I cant access it until the time comes but oh well that's just me and my imagination

Oh yeah and one more thing. Is there any possibilities that this is a sign that Sony's making a kit kat build? Since that update I received was weird and all. I had a tiniest hope in that
Or maybe it's just my update centre is bugged and all :silly:

Nah I wouldn't say it's the same as there is no announcement of a new firmware by Sony. The link was for .205 and I've updated mine.
A little off-topic tho hahah.
About the notification bar I use Serajr systemUI mod and Serajr Xperia Xposed (KK) to get the gaussian blur effect

Hey guys I bought a S5 for a good price for someone as gift just opened it not to long ago and can't update to Lolipop without AT&T sim I was looking for odin files to update it but I can't.

I don't know where the files are. If you read that OP in the link i have you it will tell you that you need to download the nce file then use towel root to root. It will work. Then in that same thread you will be able to upgrade to LP.

Another question is SD card needed for this? I don't see them saying anything about it in this thread hopefully.. the device won't be mine so I wanna keep it as stock and usable as possible but root will come in handy to remove bloat

Yes. Use the ap slot to downgrade. You do not need sd to do it. After you are rooted read the top of the op about how to get Flashfire. You'll also need busy box i think.

It's flashing in ODIN hopefully goes.. well will keep you updated thanks for your time at this hour! at least in EST timezone lol
what's funny is I tried to root with towel then kingroot now on boot shows custom when it's really not lol at least not yet or even root shouldn't show custom.
EDIT: rom loaded fine. I hope somehow it did not get re-locked to AT&T sim only though will have test my foreign sim to test
EDIT2: sim unlock seems to be fine my Polish (Play Sim) roamed on AT&T
No problem. It's barley 9:30 here in Texas. When you get ready to go up to 5.0 using the method in that thread make sure to set your screen timeout to 10 min. After flashing 5.0 with flashfire it took about 10-15 min for mine to boot back up.

Flashing! bunch of weird code on phones screen lol.
Kinda funny had the phone for few hours and already playing with it to make it better lol. Would you happen to know if there is any easy way to get extra languages? I will need polish if possible (more locale2) can do it but I think it only changes like half of locale so not everything is translated.

ok it appears now to be loading the rom stuck on AT&T logo like you said for you it took 10 min .I flashed the stock not deodexed and lolipop is here LOL that was easy process.
Last question and I will stop bothering you hopefully which root apps you use to make it faster? xposed is not that great yet on LP so I am not sure if it's worth using it for now.

I would stay away from xposed for now like you said. It's not fully compatible. I don't use any apps to make it faster. I just use titanium backup to remove bloat. But right now I'm running TMS 2.0 for my rom and it's blazing fast. And i don't have any problems with it. At first you would get media fc but he has a fix for it now.

Once again thanks for your time and help process went well.
I'd load the TMS 2.0 on it before you give it to whoever your giving it to. Lol. I don't think they would be able to tell a difference other than its faster. Just hide or remove apps that you don't think they should me with so they can't me anything up ya know.
