Root Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 S6500D and Escape cwm Boot Loop after Upgrade
To root my Samsung Mini 2 S6500D, I have used the 2nd method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719699
I got into cwm boot loop after accidental upgrade from within Android. I solve it after too many other trials using this method: http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/01/10/update-galaxy-mini-2-s6500d-xxlk2-android-236-official-firmware/2/ with Odin3
Other tips:
The xyz.tar.md5 file cannot have " " (space) in its name, otherwise it fails on md5 checksum error.
I was able to use adb when in cwm recovery (able to send linux commands this way)
Holding Up+Down+Home+Power goes into recovery.
Holding Down+Home+Power goes into download(for Odin connection)
For Odin download of xyz.tar.md5 use "PDA".
after install of cwm - make backup!
