New release (20140320) of Carbon 4.4.2 for S3 Mini is available!

For flashing KitKat, we recommend you to install our TWRP recovery (available on Download page)!

Do full backup before installation and wipe data/cache (factory reset) after installation (only from stock ROM).

    Hi Maclaw, not sure what’s happened, but your last few releases have bugged out after asking for sim unlock pin. The phone unlock screen won’t register screen presses and I keep reverting to 20140313 which was the last one that worked. I’ve wiped cache/dalvik cache every time. Such a shame. If I can help in any way to bug fix let me know.

  • Coke says:

    The update yesterday, the clock is still freezing, proving this.
    The camera seems to be fine now.

    (Google translator jaja)

  • Hellge says:

    what about the policy unlock code bug?
    yesterday 19.03 release didnt fix it, did this version has a problem with unlock in lockscreen… there are noch letters typing but sim code / emergancy call is okay.

    • Hellge says:

      same bug…. went back to 16.03.14

    • Simao says:

      No problems with unlocking
      If you forget the pass of lockscreen you can restore it with your gmail account, tap on “Forgotten Password?” (or similar) and type in your gmail-address without @gmail.com and your password of your gmail account.

      Now its solved
