Please help! - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have installed the team win recovery project on my s3 mini 18200n, and forgot to back up my stock rom. I then wiped, and flashed a zip, as said to do in the guide. When I try to flash a new rom, it states that it has failed, and that "Skipping md5 check : no md5 file found" and then states of how the zip signature failed. I am genuinely stuck, and if anyone could help me, I would be forever grateful

Flash the stock rom using odin...It should fix your prob...and which zip file did ya tried to flash?
I encountered a problem while flashing a Custom Rom using TWRP....It could not flash the Rom...But later I tried to flash it with Philiz Touch Recovery, it flashed just fine...You could try to flash the rom using Philiz Recov...

I tried to flash a few different roms, all which where variants of the stock, but deodexed or customised. I tried philz recovery at first, but for some reason i thought that didn't work, so I installed teamwin. Thank you so much for helping, I have been so worried!

Bootloader (Twrp won't flash things)

Hello there, having trouble flashing roms with trwp 2.3.4 getting error 7.
So I was wondering how do I get into the bootloader or ADB mode when I only have access to twrp?
Want to flash Clockworkmod or a newer version of trwp but can't .
Very frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which kernel are you on ?
Just flash a stock cm10.1 kernel & reboot to recovery. Then flash whatever you want.

The note is unique as this is all built into the kernel... So flash a new kernel you get a recovery with it... Don't push anything with Adb...if you must use PC Odin

Think I'm on hydracore at the moment, that's what I tried over odin anyway.
Thing is I'm getting efs mount errors when I try and flash my previous rom (alliance v3)
Thanks though, i'll try flashing some different kernel.
Wooo, seems flashing hydracore from odin failed, manually flashing hydracore worked a charm on CWM 6 now and just flashed without any errors.
Thank you very much chaps!
(Although Rom won't boot, is there any additional steps to flashing roms with the note, don't have to do any boot.img stuff right?

Did you wipe ? Make sure you're on safe kernel.
I had the same !
When you want to flash sth, just uncheck that two thing above "slide to flash"

Help please!

I always get a unsuccessful message when flashing rom through twrp. After that, I wanna restore my stock 4.1 I backup earlier, but it went into boot loop after I restore, I had Odin back to stock for twice, reroot and things remain the same, any help?
Thanks in advance!
If i remember right in TWRP must mount your system before flash.

And the cause which led to the installation failure?
Try to use CWM recovery from CoCore Kernel and see if you can flash custom ROM's.
But make a backup in CWM of your stock ROM, because that one from TWRP don't work in CWM.
I have never had any bugs/errors with CWM, NEVET. So try to follow Razvan's comment

Redownload the ROM. Zip is corrupted, or you renamed the folder zip and name contain spaces.
Try first with redownload. I'm almost sure for corrupted zip.

Ok, and how about the unable to restore what i backed up? btw, just to double confirm, do I flash CWM by downloading Cocore, extract it, and flash the tar.md5 with universal kernel flasher?

Make sure what version you flash. If your phone is I9070P you must download EP version, and for I9070 must flash E version.

Hmm, now you have custom recovery.
Enter in recovery, and if choose backup to sdcard1., and wit until finish that operation and receive message "backup complete".
Then, if you already have downloaded ROM and GApps, make wipe cache and dalvik and do a wipe of data/factory reset (be sure you have already backed up your apps with some backup app like Titanium Backup or other), go to install zip, choose zip from external card and proceed to flash, first ROM after that GApps.

Some s3 mini's can't change the recovery, it means, if you flash any recovery, your phone will go back automatically to stock recovery. You have to root your phone (example with vroot) and flash a custom recovery manually on your phone with "ROM Manager" or "[ROOT]Recovery Tools - flasher" (you can get both apps on Google play)

Stuck at reboot after flashed the new version of twrp

I have flashed the 3.2.1.0 version of twrp recovery but it stucks at reboot when i reboot the system well i don't know what to do if i flash the old versin 3.1.1.0 is it would be problem. Now i am on stock rom and recovery. Open for suggestions.
It may be a kernel problem. I had the same thing happen on stock. I fixed it by downloading a ROM then installing TWRP. After install go right into recovery after you disconnect from Odin and clean flash the new ROM. No problems after that.
Any errors on screen as it boots?

I used the latest TWRP and immediately flashed the Teleteam s8n8 ROM after installing TWRP. You can find the ROM on here with a quick search.
