This tutorial is for Windows users only! If you’re user of OS X or Linux, use this tutorial.
You need to download these files:
- Odin v3.07 for Windows: download
- Samsung USB driver: download
- Latest version of ROM for Odin from our download page.
And then perform this steps:
- Unzip SAMSUNG_USB_Driver.zip and install drivers.
- Unzip Odin_golden.zip.
- Unzip downloaded package with latest ROM. You should get file with *.tar.md5 extension.
- In opened window, click on PDA button and select file with *.tar.md5 extension from previous step.
- Make sure that only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are selected on the left side.
- Turn off your phone, and then use VOL- & HOME & POWER buttons combination.
- If you see Warning screen, use VOL+ button.
- You should see Android and some information.
- Connect phone to computer and make sure it is detected by Odin (it will appear as COM device). If it doesn’t, try to use other USB port.
- Use Start button. Wait until flash process will finish.
- Your phone will restart, but probably won’t boot. Pull down your battery and use VOL+ & HOME & POWER buttons combo to boot into recovery.
- Click on Wipe, then use slider on the bottom to let process begin.
- Click on Home icon, and then Reboot -> System.
- Wait for boot. Now you should have ROM installed and ready to use!
If you want to install Google Apps (Play Store, Gmail etc.):
- Get Google apps for your ROM from our download page and copy it to main directory of your internal storage.
- Shutdown your phone.
- Use VOL+ & HOME & POWER buttons combo to boot into recovery.
- Go to Mount and tick field next to /system. Go back to main menu.
- When recovery will boot, go to Install, select downloaded package with Google Apps and then use slider on the bottom to let process begin.
- When installation will finish, use Reboot to system option to boot your phone.

Image quality is bad but usable
I downloaded odin3 v3.04,
downloaded 2 versions of ROMs
the CM11 for the ace and the CM10.1 as well.
as Jurgen explains below i use his .doc file but it says:
“Select PDA, navigate to where you extracted the ROM and select the*.tar.md5 file.”
i extracted it five times in different ways, i even looked through all the sub folders, but it is so not there! help please?
thanks a lot.
Dan.
You need to click the Odin download not the Download download. I made the same mistake.
lol. man i probality download all the roms searching for the tar.md5 thank u
I’m stuck on point:
11) Your phone will restart, but probably won’t boot. Pull down your battery and use VOL+ & HOME & POWER buttons combo to boot into recovery.
I can’t boot into recovery, it just doesn’t work and I get an infinite boot,
Any help?
install rom manager or any similar.
then use it to reboot in recovery mod
If you have problems with going to recovery mode using buttons, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066407

I’d like to use the stable version CM 10.1. Is this Howto also valid for that version?
hi. special thanks for your works. very nice roms. I wanna ask something. I installed 20131105 of CM10.2 for S3 Mini rom. now you released 20131108 of CM10.2 for S3 Mini rom. how can I update my old rom to new one whitin any installed program or game removed?
Just install it in recovery and don’t do anything else
thanks for your help. and following your kitkat working. and donated. see you.
In the same way you install the GApps read above?
Could you please provide the exact steps to achieve this? For rookies this is still too vague …
I installed CM 10.2 and it have a bug, show me AOSP Pad os not suported, also the back and menu button don’t work.. please fix! its shows like going beter end better
Thanks for your work, the rom it has worked perfect on my device S3 Mini, thanks to you I can enjoy Android 4.3.
Does phone have to be rooted to install ROM with Odin?
no not at all you can do it without root
I can just update from recovery from cm 10.2 to cm 11 ?
Hi, first of all, I want to thank you for new cyanogen mod 11. I have a question. How to run developer mode?
What is the difference between cm10.2_golden.maclaw.20131114.ODIN_TWRP and cm10.2_golden.maclaw.20131114 files?
I guess the former has recovery built-in?
I’m newbie and doing first time installation. I have stock firmware, no recovery installed. Should I use cm10.2_golden.maclaw.20131114.ODIN_TWRP one?
The first one normally is for first time flashes, it install the rom and the TWRP, and works with non rooted phones. The second one is for flashing via TWRP, but for this you need to have your phone rooted and with the latest TWRP previously installed. Another use of the files versión, is for update Mclaw roms via TWRP. So if you are first timer, you´ll need to flash using the ODIN_TWRP method, this will flash your phone and install the the newest version of TWRP, then flash the gapps via recovery, and for updates use the “files” version via recovery. I hope this info helps you.
Sorry my question but can I simply copy zip file into my download folder and start to install from recovery
Yes if you have your phone rooted and with the latest version of TWRD, for this you´ll need the “download” version files not the ODIN_TWRP version. Another option is that you already flashed your phone then, you can use the recovery method, but with the “download” files versión not the ODIN_TWRP files.
Hi all,
I have an issue about CM10.2.
When I install CM10.2. I can’t access my phone or mobile data. I followed all the instructions above but it doesn’t work. When I re-install the stock ROM or DMod V6, everything is quite fine.
AP:I8190XXAMD3
CP:I8190XXAMB4
CSC:I8190XXAMD1 w/ DMod v6
I tried everything. Connecting Kies with stock ROM, updating the last version, using TWRP or CWM, installing the other ROMs. Everytime I install CM10.2 (w/ ODIN or not), I always have the same issue.
No Internet access, no phone access…
Please help. Thanks.
I know this is gonna sound weird but I had a very similar issue with another Rom for a different phone… Do a SIM swap! I have no idea why it worked for me, maybe it has something to do with the size of the SIM card?
Hi, I flashed CM11 using Odin but after it auto-rebooted, I assume I need to be able to boot into TWRP instead of Odin to install GApps. That didn’t happen and I’m still booting into Odin (which means I don’t really have the option to install GApps).. Some help?
i could not get file *.tar.md5 extension in CM 10.2.
so what shoud i do for that problem?
Hello guys. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini I890L. Android 4.1.2. I used TWRP. Couldnt flash it with the CM 11.0. It gave me the Status 7 error and it kept on the Team Win boot screen again and again. I tried with the CM 10.2 and went great. Do u guys know why i coudnt install 4.4. ??
Try updating your recovery with ODIN.
I’ve installed cm11, but the YouTube quality isn’t working good, could you tell me how to work it out, I have settings on high quality
Hey guys, just upgraded my CM 10.2 to CM 11.0 – 2013.11.29, directly from recovery TMWP, and it did the job. Couldnt use the odin method since there werent any tar.md5 files. Rebooted and ready. Then did the same process with gapps. ONLY issue u already reported and i hope you can fix it, its the camera tha doesnt work, the rest works great, excelent RAM handling, a lot less than 4.3. Great work Marlaw!
i have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini.
Well there are no files with the *.tar.md5 extension. So what shoukd i do. I’m a total noob.
Hi, I don’t have a win install at hand (so no Odin), how can I install CM11 (I’m on stock+CWM)?
My guess (please tell me if this could work):
1) flash TMWP from CWM
2) reboot & check TMWP
3) wipe all from TMWP
4) flash 4.4 (not-odin version) from TMWP
5) flash GApps
If anyone out there is willing to prepare a Heimdall package that would be awesome
Thanks a lot anyway!
I was feeling lucky (well more like… impatient :P) so I tried the procedure above (with lots of backups…). Apparently it works
Yes, you can flash via recovery, like you say. It works.
Hey, I would like to know if my phone can use the latest KitKat 4.4.1 (CyanogenMod 11.0) 20131208?
Is this release stable already? I seriously do not hope that custom Roms will give me problems again.
I have once tried flashing my i8190N with DMod V6 and it causes my phone to have a problem (unable to detect sim card). After trying a lot of methods and flashing stock roms for several times, I’ve got my phone to Samsung centre and it claims that my phone’s mother board has broken and it takes me around MYR500 to get it fixed :(((((
According to my friend, it might be caused by the incompatibility of my phone with the Rom. Also the variant(N) that caused the problem. I am not sure but I really wish i could use your Rom and hopefully a good one. I can see many positive comments regarding your ROM. I just want to make sure that it is a full release and also compatible with my phone, most importantly.

I am running on a rooted firmware FYI. And and and, sorry for the veryyy long message. Forgive me, I am too new to handle all these >_<
This should be the right stock ROM for you(Malaysia): http://samsung-updates.com/details/8024/Galaxy_S_3_Mini/GT-I8190N/XME/I8190NDXAMB3.html
If you want stablity I’d suggest that you rather install CM 10.2. The 8190N works but you wont have NFC. Remember to clear all caches etc.Also wipe system just to be safe. Use a custom recovery(install if you dont yet have one) to make a nandroid backup before you try anything, just incase you need to go back
Wow, thanks for the link, Jurgen! I have been longed for a website that I can easily get stock roms. ^^
Well, can you tell the difference between CM 10.2 and the new released Kitkat CM11.0? and you suggested me to get CM10.2, is it because the CM11.0 has not been fully released and still buggy?
CM 11 is still quite new and about a week ago it still had significant bugs. The bugs seem to be fixed but it hasn’t undergone nearly as much testing as CM 10.2. The difference between CM 11 and 10.2 is the difference between android 4.4 and 4.3(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#Android_4.4_KitKat_.28API_level_19.29), I don’t think CM has added features yet so the difference between the two is insignificant at the moment, in my opinion at least. Personally I use PAC 4.3, it has ll the features of CM as well as some of AOKP and PA features, so it’s CM that can be customized a lot more, the batterylife I get is incredible, had more than 10 hours of screen on time yesterday. The only bug I have is that the home screen icons vanish at times, just needto open and close app drawer to get them back.
Ahh, I see. Thanks a lot for the testimonials and review! I have get myself CM10.2 running in my phone now =D and I can feel its speed, seriously good! At least better than the original one I got. Thanks for the help, Mr Jurgen!
Also, thanks for the rom, Mr Maclaw!!
It Worked Perfectly thanks Maclaw!
Hi!! Firstly THANKS a lot for your work!!
I have a s3 mini GT-I8190N still with all stock (ROM and Recovery). I’d like to install your CM but I want to make a nandroid backup before…Can I install only TWRP with Odin, make a backup than flash CM? And how can I install TWRP with Odin??
Thanks
Yes, you can do it.Download TWRP from the download site and extract recovery.img, then add it to an archive(I use 7zip) that is in tar format. Enter download mode and open odin. Basically just follow the guide above but instead of using the *.tar.md5 file, you use the recovery.tar that you created. Let me know if you get stuck. Sorry for the double post, didn’t reply to you by accident
Sorry, this method to install TWRP does NOT work
If your phone is already rooted , then you can download Goomanager app from play store, then touch the three dots menu and select “install openrecovery” accept the permisions, and this will install the newest TWRP recovery to your phone. Then you can do your nandroid backup.

I am new, red the said notes, 4 the past 4 days i am trying to install CyanogenMod 11.0
, files from the site is zip, when used recovery mode installation it says the file chksum bad..etc. the files is not in tar.gz from the site. i checked md5 bothe results are matching. i tried to install from my sd card. can anyone help me
I recently made this tutorial ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxd1OVOD8LSNbEo0RzdTMDhHV3c/edit?usp=sharing ), I also sent it to Maclaw for if he wants to use it. It is very detailed and has screenshots. Hope it helps
thx a lot for your guide, was very usefull! I have one question tho, do I have to root the device or make any backup?
All the ROMs are already rooted so no action is required. Backups are convenient but not required. It’s only important to know that is if you have a warranty claim, you need to restore stock ROM and bootloader, but it can be done without backups
thanks for your response. also, the thing about flashing, is it has to be done too? thx in advance!
Yes, flash is basically just another word for install, comes from how you install it
hi Jurgen, it’s me once again. I’m a bit confused. all I need to do to install KitKat is follow up the instructions you shared? what about the TWRP recovery file? do I need that and if so, where do I use it?
Yes, that’s all you need to do. TWRP is included in the ODIN ROMs and automatically installed, the separate TWRP zip is if you want to use another custom recovery to install this TWRP
very grateful for your responses, THX A LOT!
Dear Jurgen,
thank you for the great tutorial. I followed step by step. After the .md5 file is downloaded onto the GT-I8190, I remove the battery and after replacing it, pushing Vol up+home+power, the phone boots regulary instead of booting into recovery mode. I see the cyanogenmod logo with the turning arrow endlessly (v. 10.2)
Do have an idea?
I’d suggest start with trying this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2157105), if it works you can then try flashing via ODIN again, let me know if it doesn’t work then I can explain other methods, this is easiest if it works
Also, the format of the ROM isn’t tar.gz,it’s tar.md5
Sorry, I misread earlier, didn’t see you’re using recovery method. Are you using TWRP from the download page? Think they changed something specifically for flashing KitKat
Thanks a lot,I’ve successfully downloaded it and from here I’ll see how it goes and I’ll put up another comment just to let you know but I was just wondering if I wanted the old system back do you know how to.
Yes, just download the stock ROM ( http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I8190 ) and install it via ODIN using the tar.md5 file in the zip
I have a S3 mini with the stock rom and CMW recovery, can i simply download the cm11 without odin and flash it and the google apps using CMW recovery ?
Yes you can, just choose the download link instead of the ODIN link. But I’d suggest that you replace CWM with TWRP as Maclaw recommends.
Thanks, but how can i switch from the CMW to TWRP?
Just download the TWRP zip file and install it from CWM. At a CWM has a question of some sort about it being replaced, I can’t remember what the right choice is so try one and if it doesn’t work, try the other one. If you can’t install it with this method you can use ODIN, just follow the instructions on my post on the 13th
thank you for you wonderful work.
may i ask where can i get ODIN version of CM11.0 for Ace II
There doesn’t seem to be an ODIN version, so you will need to flash a custom recovery and then install via recovery
You go to downloads >s3 mini >extras >Odin 3.07
Hi all

Thank you , it works

hi guys. I see that the 10.2 was last uptdated on dic-25-2013, does this means is on its “final version”? everything works just fine in it?
It’s a stable release so everything works fine, but it isn’t the final release, Maclaw continues to update the CM sources and adds optimisations and new features
hey Jurgen, thx for your help and responses!

I’ve installed CM11 in my s3 mini, but the wifi not working. I’ve the loop for the “obtaining ip address”.. please someone help me? I tried everything that i found in internet but anything work for me.
hi guys! i have a question: what if, hypothetically, I reach to step 6 shown in this installation guide and press the Vol+ button by accident, can I restart it without any problem? will it have any bad consequence on the phone?
Well, of course you can. Just restart your phone and there won’t be any problem.. Vol- in step 6 is to let you to go to the download mode. vol+ will enable you to go into the recovery mode(As I remembered). but well, im sure it wont cause any damage to your phone =]
HEYYY, it’s me again! I’ve been using CM10.2 for quite sometime after getting help from Jurgen and the great ROM from MR Maclaw!
I would really like to know if the CM11 is stable and not having much bugs? and if bugs exists, what are those bugs. I need a review! Thanks in advance

hi ive just downloaded & unziped the latest cm10.2. where is the *.tar.md5 file cant see it anywhere?
You need to download the ODIN version of the ROM. Look at the first page of this https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxd1OVOD8LSNbEo0RzdTMDhHV3c/edit?usp=sharing
Ahh thanks Jurgen. Have now downloaded the correct one will rry next week.
ok inhave cm10.2 working but i cant get gapps to work i have unzipped the file but when i reboot into twrp it doesnt find anything in the folder. what am i doing wrong?
You must not unzip gapps, TWRP flashes zip files, so you just reboot into TWRP and select the gapps zip file
Hi, i just downloaded CM11 for Ace 2. And it seems the zip was corrupted. Any solution? (i downloaded it using IDM). Thanks
Check the md5 sum, if it doesn’t match, download it again, if it matches, send Maclaw an email saying that the file is corrupted
thanks..
but how to check the md5 sum of my phone?
If you want to check md5 sums on your phone, there are a couple of apps, anyone is fine. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fab.md5&hl=en
Can you do this whole process on Windows 8.1?
Today, i update from CM 10.2 to CM 11, i’ve just one problem, Playstrore stop working. Did somebody know why? Or i’ve to reinstall Gapps for 4.4.x. All the help would apreciate, thanks. I make the update via TWRP without any wipe like the tuto says.
Yes, you need to install gapps 4.4. I don’t need to reinstall gapps with every update, don’t know how often people get problems with gapps after an update
Thanks for the answer. It happens once when i update from 10.2 to CM 11, and it also happens two times with new updates of CM 11, and each time a reinstall of gapps was necesary.
It’s meant to happen when you change from 10.2 to 11. What recovery are you using? A most recoveries have problems on KitKat, I’d suggest using TWRP from this site
I use TWRP, but the problem with updating CM11, it has been just two times, and it hasn’t happen again.
I´ve one question. Every time that i perform an update via recovery, i´ve problems with gapps, and i need to reinstall them. The question is that this is normal? every time when an update is perform, is necesary to reinstall the gapps?
Thank you for the answer.
Tanks Maclaw for new TWRP 2.7 and for the CM11 updates.
I’ve notice that after a CM11 update the temperature of my S3 mini rises, at the point it feels warm. I’ve to reboot the phone, in some cases just once, but in others, a couple of times, till the phone feels cold again. Did some one knows something about this issue. My model is the i8090L S3 Mini and i’m using the interactive governor.
I almost past that the battery drains faster.
after instalation my phone does not recognize network, or does not see the sim card, what should i do?
my phone is s3mini gt-i8190n
All I can suggest is that you do a clean install (wipe everything, including system and data
I agree with Jurgen. Another thing you can do is to install stock firmware, root your phone, install TWRP, then before flashing CM, make a modem and EFS backup with TWRP, then try flashing again like Jurgen suggest, and if the problem persist, with CM flashed, restore the modem and EFS backups with TWRP, this it’s suposed to fix the problem.
Which governor do you recomend to use with CM11 in a S3 Mini?
now im working on stock, but i had to wipe everything like gavibales and jurgen sad before(system was not booting without that), i’ll try to do that with CM, thanks for help!
Remember, before you try CM11, if you are in stock, root your phone, install the TWRP recovery, pass the zip file to your SD card, perform the wipe, but dont wipe the SD, because you have there the CM11 zip file, then from recovery install the CM11 zip file Or with ODIN, root your phone, flash TWRP, perform the “wipe everything”, go in to download mode and do the flashing with ODIN.
will it work without rooting?
Yes, but it will root your phone and void your warranty
is there an option to unroot phone in case of some emergency, i have waranty, and i would like to have for some time
It’s not just about unroot, you need to reinstall the stock firmware. Maybe try another ROM, like cm 10.2
I have just made a new instalation of CM11, still does not see my sim card, thiis time phone prompted me about it… “enter the sim card”
instalation on twrp, wiped everything, except SDCARD, nothing changed…
and the phone is rooted now :/
Odin does not recognize my S3 MINI.
I have tried all the USB ports on my PC.
What can I do??
Did you install the drivers?
Sure!
I can see the device Samsung in Windows
Try using a different cable, the shorter the better, long cables are more likely to give problems in my experience
Hello there, I keep getting “no new updates found” when I try to update through settings->about phone.
Already cleared cache of CM updater any suggestions?
OTA updates isn’t one of the features, you need to download the update and flash it
Why is that? Its really annoying to download every version and flash it.
There is an MD5 error in twrp2.7.0.0_golden.maclaw.ODIN.tar.md5 ! Then i see the help picture here inthe comments, wich say i must download with the ODIN dutton. In the ZIP from 11.0 there was the tar.md5.
I flashed it and must see this ist the FULL SYSTEM !
So at this moment there are no backups of from the stock firmware available.
I try first CMW and with this i make an full backup. But the EFS Pro dont work to me. Then i see the TWRP.
Installation without backup is really risky ! Please fix the tar.md5 file.
But what is the tarp golden zip with revovery.img ???
In odin i can only select tar or md5 files ?
Sorry, i mean maclawstudio-TWRP-2.6.3.0-KitKat.zip there is the recovery.img !
There is nothing wrong with any of the files, you just don’t know what you’re doing, a md5 error means the file did not download correctly. As for installing CM 11, you didn’t read the instructions, the zip from 11.0 installs CM 11.0, that’s what it’s meant to do. The TWRP zip isn’t meant to be used with ODIN, it’s for flashing from a recovery, that’s why there isn’t a tar.md5 file.
just change:
twrp2.7.0.0_golden.maclaw.ODIN.tar.md5
for:
twrp2.7.0.0_golden.maclaw.ODIN.tar
thats all
I read the instruction, but they are really short ! Its not a instruction for first user i think. I was to believe the TWRP is the same like CWM ?! I try first CWM, root and make a full backup. Then i want to make an EFS backup with EFS Pro, but this dont work. So i found this page and the TWRP. Then i think TWRP is the same like CWM and i want to flash it to the phone. Then i see the md5 message in odin…
Now i have CM11.0 and it works, and i have a full backup with TWRP with EFS.
Is there an other help here ? Or is the first step to use CWM and later this TWRP ?
how to delete an unuse os that I installed before?(I mean delete Chameleon OS after installed SlimROM)
Gesture writing doesn´t work with this new update 20140410. Hope you fix it.
And thank you for your work.
Hi,
Excuse me guys, I’m a newbie and it’s my first time to try installing new ROM (change the default android coming with this phone)
so when I’m trying to unzip:
cm11.0_golden.nova.20140413.ODIN_TWRP.zip I got this message:
*****
! \cm11.0_golden.nova.20140413.ODIN_TWRP.zip: CRC failed in cm11.0_golden.nova.20140413.ODIN_TWRP.tar.md5. The file is corrupt
*****
and same for cm11.0_golden.nova.20140413.zip
Hope to get an answer from you, thanks!
ps: I did re-download the files many times to avoid the idea of corrupted files…
Check the MD5 sum of the files
Hi,
please help me !I’m a beginner and after downloading CM11 (odin download) I couldn’t unzip it it correctly so it says file is broken???
another question how could i choose twrp 2.7 (of maclaw) via ODIN which can’t read zip or img files!
Need your help
thnx
Same boat here!
How do we flash TWRP 2.7 ODIN if there’s an .IMG file inside of the zip and not a .tar.md5 file?
There seems to be a problem with the ODIN file, send an email to Maclaw to report this. If you are in a rush to install it you can install a different recovery (http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=4344) via ODIN and then flash TWRP using that recovery
I believe you should click on “odin” instead of “Download” after you select the model and file to download. Good luck!
Teşekkürler.(Thank you.)
With the 0424 update, my phone begin to overheat again, i thought this problem was solved.
I’m new at this and personally I’m a little scared by this method, googled and found this tutorial, can you guys tell me if this method will work? It is safe?
http://techbeasts.com/2013/12/11/install-android-4-4-kitkat-galaxy-s3-mini-using-cyanogenmod-11-custom-rom/
Thanks
In your link, method 1 is the one being used in this guide. Both methods are “safe”, the advantage of method 1 is that it works regardless of what is or isn’t on your phone, method 2 requires that you have a custom recovery.
What I mean with safe, is the chances of permanent damage to your device is low, but no-one wants any responsibility if something goes wrong, so everyone says at own risk and warns for the worst case scenario. When you use ODIN, make sure that you have a reliable usb cable and do NOT use a usb-hub, your biggest risk is there IMHO
Thanks, actually i was using the second method.
Installed CWM and using this I have installed Twrp ( needed this for ROM). I have added everything on sd card and from there it was pretty simple..
If i want to update the rom I guess i just have to add the new version and to enter in recovery and install it from there..Am I right?
Thanks for answering.
Yes, you’re right

F2FS Tutorial?
No MD5 in zip files. I tried with TWRP no luck. I tried to repartition without the PIT file and it also failed. What should I do now?
All’s good and everything, but for some reason i can’t import any contacts from SIM-card to phone and when i try to add contact to SIM-card it simply says “Failed to add contact to SIM”. I have tried several SIM managers from play store, but nothing seems to work.
And yes i am sure i have contacts in the SIM, i was able to use them with stock ROM and on different phone, in this case different phone being galaxy S i9000 with CM11.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Same problem to me! GT-i8190, don´t show my SIM contacts. everything else looks fine.
Any solution??
Nobody?? HEEEELLP!!!
>> 11. Your phone will restart, but probably won’t boot. Pull down your battery and use VOL+ & HOME & POWER buttons combo to boot into recovery.
Please help!
My Galaxy S3 mini is stuck with CyanogenMod logo and booting forever… When I use VOL+ & HOME & POWER buttons, I enter a STOCK recovery (not TWIRP!) and cannot do much there….
What can be wrong with the phone? Why TWIRP recover didn’t override the stock recovery? What to do, what to do?
After installing it on My galaxy S3 mini it is not booting… ̣(boot time is infinite). What can be the problem?

Hi,
just installed Cyanogenmod 11 as described in this tutorial. It works until step 10. It even reboots and asks me for the PIN for the SIM. When i type in the PIN for the SIM it asks me for another PIN. What is this PIN? Is there a default PIN in this ROM?
I can’t do steps 11-14 because recovery doesn’t seem to work. If i press Vol+/Home/Power nothing happens. It boots normally and i’m back at the point where i need to type in the PIN.
Any help?
Regards, Manfred
