Great, thanks. One last noobie-like question - is this procedure going to delete what I have on the phone right now?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] arco68:
No, all your stuff will still be there.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cheatman:
Thanks for the effort! I'm building a similar package for the I9192 (the dual sim variant, a.k.a "serranods") and I was wondering if you made any serious changes to the kernel except the usual ramdisk rooting changes (ro.secure, adbd binary, su binary etc.)

I'm going to release an insecured kernel based on the dual sim stock kernel, but I'm probably going to reuse the recovery. I expect the two platforms to be very similar in terms of recovery support (drivers, libraries, recovery kernel, partition layout etc.) and I know you can't make any implicit or explicit claims that the recovery won't brick any another model or variant than the one you made the release for. However, I expect no issues whatsoever as the hardware is identical except the modem, so I'll let you guys know.

Cheers,

C.

I follow the first steps but I always get stuck at the beginning. I only get a screen with "downloading.... Do not turn off target!!" it does not matter what buttons I push. On top it says "odin mode" in red, some product info and then it says "Wrtie protection: Enable".

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cheatman:
[MENTION=2534747]charliebigpot[/MENTION]: That's normal. When that screen appears, connect your device and start ODIN. Then, in ODIN, your device should be detected and you can start flashing. If you still need more info, please search the forum. In any event, you don't have a problem (yet)...

Thank You for the hard work, it work perfectly for me.

I was able to restore my Angry Birds Stars wars Backup which is a life saver for me :).

One little thing, I keep getting a notification that says :

"Device Information :

The device as detected an application attempting unpermitted actions. To protect your device, it is recommended you reboot."

So I hit reboot and it reboot in "recovery mode" instead of normal boot.

So I hit reboot in recovery mode and get back on the system, but the notification comes back a few minutes later.

Can somone help me fix that ?

Frem.

PS : The only actions I did after rooting is installing "supersuer" app, then using "ES file explorer" activate root access, to copy angry birds backup, then deactivate "ES file explorer" root access

Delete KNOX apps (containing KNOX in their name), I think there are 3 of them, in system/apps, that would do it. You can use ES file explorer of course with root permissions

One last question a friend of mine told me that "rooting my phone" will stop it from getting the samsung "official updates".

is there any method to root without installing CWM? i only need to restore some app backups created by Titanium backup from old device to S4 mini and unroot again due warranty reasons
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] arco68:
No, UMS won't work, at least not for internal sdcard as that's emulated storage and formatted with ext4 file system.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] turbare:
I know it's not possible for the internal one, was thinking of my external card on which I keep my music.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] dieguccio:
hello to all

first of all thanks for guide

I had a question on s4 mini, flash the recovery increases the counter hidden, like on s4 big?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] turbare:
If you tell me how to look I'll check and let you know.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] dieguccio:
I think the problem is that, for now

of s4 large, the counter of the flash is hidden and you can only see with triangle away, but this application does not yet support s4 mini

the question then is:

if this counter increments and with flash stock firmware to return under warranty, it does not reset (from s2 then serves triangle away), will be out of warranty hand is forever!

Hi arco, may I know how do users running your CM 10.1 go about updating CWM?

Do we just perform steps 2-7 and then reboot from the CWM menu?

(Is there a need to reflash the Rootkit from within CWM again?)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] arco68:
Yeah, just flash it again with Odin.

No need to reflash rootkit again, if it's already installed.

My phone is rooted whit rootkit 2.0 from arco

Now I would like to upddate the firmware to UAMG8

Is it possible to install latest firmware via samsung kies when I have installaed CWM recovery 6.0.3.3 or how should I install the UAMG8

Do I just need to download the EUR version of I9195XXUAMG8 and place the .zip on the sd card and then flash it from recovery?

or is it any other steps I need to do?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] peet777:
Please provide root only
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] arco68:
What do you mean? Rootkit is root only.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] peet777:
But how to perform root only without installing CWM? It's not explained, I Need temporary root access only in order to restore backed up game progress with Titanum backup from old device, and after that i would unroot, cause i don't want to lose my warranty
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] arco68:
Without CWM is gonna be difficult, cause to obtain root a modified kernel is needed and some files must be added. It might be possible to flash it using stock recovery, by renaming the file to update.zip first, but I haven't tested that.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] peet777:
Ok, i don't want to try like that, maybe in sooner future, root only method will be developed, i will wait

If you want to migrate your save from your S Advance to your S4 Mini, use Helium (search it on the Play Store), it doesn't require root.

It only works on JB, but if I look at your signature you have JB on both phones.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] peet777:
But Helium requires Clockwork Mod, if i instal CWM i will also lose waranty, is there any way to replace CWM with default recovery except re-flashing official firmware via Odin?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] emilfleurnoy:
I have the same issue as turbare - Installed SG USB Mass Storage Enabler 1.5. It seems to run ok on the phone, but when connected to Windows 7 (with latest Samsung USB Drivers installed) a drive letter shows up, but it looks like there is no media in the drive so I cannot really access the data.

I've tried various formats of Micro-SD cards (formatted on the device itself, formatted by Windows, etc.), but nothing works. I can access the contents of the external SD card on the device itself, but not on the PC.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] turbare:
Ok, first of all, enough off-topic. Second, read the description on the play store, it doesn't require cwm or root or anything, you just install and follow the instructions.

Hi,

thanks big time for this thread and the dev's work

I rooted the phone successfully and installed titanium backup right after to delete the prinstalled samsung apps. I think a bit too much. Everything is working great except of that i cant find the SMS/MMS App. Even if i try it via contacts (small icon next to the name).

Can i just place the original SMS/MMS apk or has somebody any other idea?

Just ordered my i9195.

Curious to know, does the USB jig still reset the counter? (I still have mine I think from my S2 days) I traded my N4 in for an i9195. Wanted a "smaller" pretty powerful device with 4G. In my country, the 4G hack doesn't work with the N4.

I see not everything is working with CM10.1 yet for the 9195? Might hold off and use boring, outdated TW until CM is more or less (dare I say it) "stable" for "serranoltexx" (love that name! lol).

Hi i made the update with Odin and it works great. without wipe

1. make backup with cwm

2. install Firmware with oden.

3. before it reboots. get ones more in Odin mode and install CWM from acro86

4. Before it reboots get in CWM and install rootkit v2.

5. reboot and everything is fine.

After reboot the SU of the rootkit wants an update of the su binaris. just hit ok and you'll be fine

At least you have to deactivate the KNOXfiles with titanium backup or an app like that

Hi, yes that means that the root of acro86 works on that Firmware too.

If you do no wipe you will have all your apps and configs back but the frimware is the new one

After that just go the Manual from the first post.

2. Install Firmware with Odin.

2a. Reboot the new Firmware to one first clean configuration.

---> Sometimes the CSC is not installed when we have a Custom Recovery working.

3. Get ones more in Odin mode and install CWM from acro86

4. Before it reboots get in CWM and install rootkit v2.

Hi arco,

It is good work but I've found problem with screen mirroring after rooting my phone.

1. I have tried to go to stock ROM and screen mirroring worked fine.

3. Finally I have installed RootKit2.zip and screen mirroring does not work since.

So the problem is probably in GT-I9195_RootKit_v2.zip.

Is it possible to correct it please?
