S3 Mini (GT-i8200)

[The_Unbeliever]

Good morning

Has anybody successfully updated his/her S3 Mini to the latest CM release?

I must be lacking in the Google-fu department today as I'm unable to find any information that I need in order to update my phone's stock Android.

If you can post links to tutorials I'll be grateful

Thanks

if its anything like the pocket,

XDA devs find a ROM ,

upload to your phone, hold 3 buttons to boot into recovery mode, select your rom,
wait a bit for it to do its thing, switch on (first boot takes ages)

done.....

I rooted my i8190 S3 Mini, then Installed a couple of custom rom incl CM. The RIL crashed every couple of hours draining the battery. Nobody bothered to answer me with regards to installing another radio driver. Eventually I installed ViginityV14, works nicely. Stopped reading XDA, most people only wanted help but were not willing to help others, poor forum imho

do agree with you here,

lots of issues dont get answered easily there, but if your brave enough to root,
then your brave enough to deal with the issues that crop up.....

OP, if your happy with your ROM, why not stay on it?

All the devs stick to the latest and greatest, or old phones with tons of power left to give, but old weak phones quickly fall by the wayside and only have regular users with those phones visiting that part of the forum so it quickly ends up useless for that phone.

you usually need to root and install custom recovery before doing this.
