Hello all,

First of all Thank You Arco for Your job.

I wanted to ask something - if it is a stupid questions im sorry but im noobie at flashing my Samsung :)

I have problem with battery drain and i wanted to ask is it possible to flash CWM and only this Kernel which u add at first post ? It will be working with my XXUBMK3 rom ? Is it possible to flash only kernel without root ? And last question: i flash Kernel with CWM zip file or i unzip it at my pc and do it with Odin ?

Thanks for answer.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] leripe:
1. Yes.

2. Yes, if your phone is gt-l9195 and not some variant like spirit/sprint. Your baseband tells which it is.

3. Not sure, possibly?

4. You flash the cwm with steps mentioned in the 1st post and then you can flash kernel in cwm with the zip file(don't unzip).

Hi Arco68.

Just wanted to say Thanks. I have been following this thread for a while and just today i went ahead and rooted my phone.

There was a new firmware out XXUBML1 which I thought had knox security so I went ahead and followed the steps to removed knox bootloader. Had to dual boot my laptop with ubuntu first to remove knox bootloader.

So I successfully removed it, flashed it with Odin and and then followed your steps.

Nothing showing about knox in download mode either . All successfully done.

Thanks

[RECOVERY] TeamWin Recovery 2.6.3.0 for GT-I9195 [2013-12-29]
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] JackyJack:
I just had an issue, did this happen to someone ?

I was on recovery CWM 6.0.3.7 and CM10.2 nightly stock kernel.

Small battery drain so I wanted to try f4ktion kernel and here is what I did :

- downloaded the right f4ktion kernel for my device (f4ktion_1.2.5-eur_lte-JB)

- made a CWM backup

- flashed the new kernel and rebooted

- got stuck on bootlogo (samsung)

- turned off the phone rebooted to recovery to restore

And unfortunatly, this is where I got an error :'(

The restore starts, MD5 check is ok, restore /system is ok, start restoring /data and fails instantly...

I flashed CWM 6.0.4.5 hoping it would solve my issue, but it did not, even with an older backup !

Is it a known issue, is there a way around, did not try PhilZ Touch and TeamWin recoveries yet, is it worth it ?

Thanks for helping :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] leripe:
Well first try without some custom kernel, or older version of f4k's.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] JackyJack:
Ho yeah I did try something like that :

wiped /system and flashed the CM10.2 zip again, it should also push the old kernel right ?

Flashing the CM10.2 rom allow me to boot but with no data, I just would like to restore the /data partition now ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ert69:
Is the v1 kernel supposed to work with cm10.2? Because it ain't working for me. Doesn't even show me the boot screen.

If it doesn't work for you, it doesn't give you the right to nerdrage around here.

This is provided by the developer AS IS, and nobody forced you to follow the steps.

So if you want help, address us in a civilized manner and provide the steps that you did, along with what happened, if you cannot do that in a civilized way, then feel free to bug off.

First post updated with new recovery and rootkit. The rootkit is basically just the original SuperSu zip, with busybox added.

Hint with new recovery: backups with tar + gzip are made faster than before.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] leripe:
Doesn't feel any faster than tar only, quite the contrary :/ Backing up to few years old 32gb kingston sdcard though.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] arco68:
You're right, tar is still faster, but tgz should be faster than before. I'll amend the hint. :)

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] JackyJack:
OOKKKAAAAAYYY

So I have some update about the issue I had before, and then it comes with a request ! ;)

As I said, I could not restore my /data partition, I finally found that this was caused by ghosts files that could not be deleted !

(/data/data/com.google.android.location/files/cache.wifi and /data/data/com.google.android.location/files/cache.cell)

Even though I did hundreds of format cache from the recovery (6.0.4.5) !

So when I noticed these ghost files, I tried to delete them using CM11 stock file manager (root) but still no success.

I decided to use the "reset to factory settings" (directly translated from french, dunno the exact fearture name) and there ya go xD !!!!

Files are no longer there, I could restore my backup, of course the files were in the backup so they were back after the restore, but no ghosting and I was able to delete them directly from file explorer.

So no my request, please include REAL formatting of the partitions :D

Hello,

I missunderstood something on Step 7 so I turned my phone off. Everything is still working fine.

I have two questions:

1. I have no SD Card, will I be able to root anyway?

2. Should I do everything from the beginning now or can I just do step 7 again?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
1.yes

2.save files to internal storage and continue, if fail start from beginning

Hi [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION]

To create one debrick.img to fix HARD BRICK's like this THREAD, we use the .zip attached that have this script:

package_extract_file("dd", "/tmp/dd");

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/dd");

ui_print("Data Dump running...");

run_program("/tmp/dd", "if=/dev/block/mmcblk0", "of=/sdcard/debrick.img", "bs=1M", "count=128");;

delete("/tmp/dd");

ui_print("Partial System Dump to debrick.img Complete!!!");

:confused: But the debrick.img go to /data/media whit Your Recovery, not to /sdcard or /storage/sdcard0. It is normal that?

Thank You
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ladislav.heller:
Yes, it is, because /sdcard is a symbolic link which points to /data/media
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ValenteL:
I know that but until 4.1.2 /data/media = /sdcard. Now, because the multi-user option from 4.2.2 this change.

And after tried:

- Whit the usual Recovery from [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] Dev, the debrick.img is on /data/media and not on /sdcard.

- Whit the Recovery from [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] is on /sdcard or /storage/sdcard0. ).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hansare:
I guess you rooted and installed CWM.

Why did you choose for cm10.2 instead of cm11.0?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] chris42too:
Hi there,

just noticed, when I boot into recovery and select the wipe, the folders and files are still there afterwards. If I go into cyanogenmod and do a factory reset, everything is wiped.

I would have assumed, that both does the same? Is it an error in the CWM?

May I know if there is a change log available for the recovery?

I'm on 6.0.3.7 and was wondering if I need to update to the latest 6.0.4.6.

I haven't done much to the phone since flashing CM10.2 nightlies a couple of months ago. I'm now on CM11 nightlies without any of the KNOX "features" and am hoping to keep it that way but would like USB-OTG support and so was thinking of flashing a kernel but am worried the outdated recovery will cause **** to happen.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
I asked the same question when new recovery was released, but after flashing it I found it more better, not so many clicks to select yes for example just up or down one time, apart from that it looks nicer, I think some minor colors changed, but overall I found it worth updating, hope that helps you to decide

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] JackyJack:
Sorry, just a reminder, I did not see anyone telling that this issue have been taken into account.

I am not in a hurry to get a fix, but would just like to know that the dev knows about that.

(just try to format /data from CWM, it's instant which really demonstrate that there is an issue, format /cache takes 2 or 3 seconds)

For users with the same issue, you can make a factory reset from your ROM (stock or custom) but be careful, this will also wipe your internal SD card.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] leripe:
Can't really understand either one of you, because you talk about wrong things in wrong contexts, but simply put:

If you select Wipe data/Factory reset from CWM recovery and also format /system from Mounts and Storage sub-menu, there's nothing left from the installed rom's files. (to be sure you can also manually format all of them couple of times from the sub-menu)

Of course this procedure doesn't wipe your internal or external sdcards, so the files which are located there will remain. Nor it doesn't wipe the section where recovery(and knox etc. system files?) is located.

And problems related to restoring your cwm backup might be related if you are restoring backup, which you made with older version of cwm, with new version cwm. Or if the backup was somehow corrupted.

And if data is instant format and cache isn't, it doesn't mean that there's some weird problem. Some things just take longer due the reason how the cwm handles them and how they are stored and where.

personally I've never had any issues with Odin ever, only thing that sometimes causes issues it's Samsung usb drivers not being installed correctly, once you download and install the drivers everything should be fine, as long as you've got a good usb lead and a good responding usb port on your computer, like I said, I'll try this when I get the device later in the week and see what's going on.
