[Q] No PDA Tab in Odin?

[AffectiveEffect]

Should I simply use the AP tab?

So, I successfully flashed CWM via Odin but when I entered recovery mode, I was taken to stock recovery. What could be the problem?

So you didn't successfully flash CWM... or you reflashed CWM recovery with stock recovery.

I guess not. It did say "PASS", though... I'll try it again and see what happens.

 

[AffectiveEffect]

I reflashed CWM successfully... I powered down the phone, rebooted in recovery mode and, again, found myself in stock recovery. What gives!?

 

[Gw|n]

Are you sure that you are really flashing CWM and have correct version for your phone? If in both cases is answer yes, I'm out of ideas.

Yep... I'm using this guide. http://techbeasts.com/2013/10/24/install-cwm-recovery-and-root-samsung-galaxy-s3-mini-i8190nl-how-to-guide/

Hmmmm...

EDIT: It appears it's identical to this guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2147852 so I don't know what the problem could be.

Try this :http://goo.im/devs/Darkman/Recoverys/Recovery-CWM-I8190-Official-6.0.2.7.ODIN.zip and flash it via Odin

Tip : Don't forget to kill Kies in task manager and open Odin as Admin

Wow that's new for me...
Try with Odin 3.07. I don't know this will work. And here is the Touch version of CWM : http://goo.im/devs/Darkman/Recoverys/Recovery-CWM-I8190-Official-TOUCH-6.0.2.7.ODIN.zip maybe this will work for you

I'll give it a shot... What is the difference, though, in the 'touch' version? I'm new to a lot of this stuff. Thanks!

CWM : this version don't support Touch control. So you have to navigate with vol up/down in the menus

CWM Touch : how the name already say, it support Touch control, it means you don't need to navigate with vol up/down and it also support "create zip image" this does backup your system as a flashable .zip.

Thanks, xXPR0T0TYPEXx... I should have known that's what it meant!

I tried different versions of Odin and the touch CWM and for the first time received a "FAIL"... I'm going to try to use another computer and see if I have any success.

Also: I know I should probably search this (and I will) but just in case I can't get anything to work>>>> Is there another way to root this phone WITHOUT the use of CWM? or is this the only way? Thanks, again!

And just so I can confirm how to properly boot into CWM:
I power down the phone and press VOLUME UP + HOME BUTTON + POWER, correct?

This is the method of how to boot into stock recovery but, as I understand it, if CWM is properly flashed it should take me to Clockworkmod INSTEAD of stock recovery. Am I correct?

Yes you are correct! And yes there is a other way to get root access. Have a look here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2459910 !

Tip : if you use this way don't foget to enable usb debugging.
