[MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] can you create a GT-I9195_MG4_1097013_kernel.tar.zip (newest version) ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] sboida1:
[MENTION=3559072]Zeruat[/MENTION] Not my solution, but try this

"1) Boot up CWM and

2) then pull the files"

Step-by-step:

1) Download CWM, rename it to cwm.img and place it in the same directory as your fastboot executable;

2) Reboot you device into fastboot mode and connect to your computer;

3) Make sure your computer sees your device by typing: fastboot devices

4) Boot CWM by typing: fastboot boot cwm.img

5) Pull all the files from /sdcard by typing: adb pull /data/media"
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] achillefs:
Thank you for your reply. So as I understand it's the same process as if I was installing CWM for the first time, right?

Hi, i have install the Rom nightly version 13, but i dont have root and i can´t get the uptades for this rom. without lousing all data. I only see in forums how to do root with android Kittcak 4.4.2, and that don´t work in this rom, What i must do? I have a Samsung galaxy s4 mini Gt-i9195, if someone can help please. Thank
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] aggelikipats:
It didn't work :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] IronRoo:
you just need to switch it on, go to setting, about phone then tap build number 7x, then go to developer options and turn on root (and off if not using it for security)

Updating from nightly with the same maIn rev eg 13 you can just wipe dalvik & cache thin you won't lose all your data

you probably didn't boot STRAIGHT back into recovery before flashing zip

This is only the 4th Samsung phone I have rooted but unfortunately I have a problem.

Everything went fine in the flashing, ODIN reported a PASS (turned green) and the phone restarted as it should. The problem is I hold Home and Vol + but it goes straight back into "Downloading" and not into recovery. If I take the battery out and HOME, Vol - and Power I can restart the process but will it ever go into recovery, will it heck as like. I have tried battery out and then turn on with Power, Vol + and Home but it goes straight to downloading.

There is nothing of value on the phone so if it has corrupted then I am happy to flash it back to stock and restart if that is easier.

The downloading screen reads:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9195I

CURRENT BINARY: Custom

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

KNOX KERNEL LOCK(KK): OFF

KNOX WARRENTY VOID: 0X0

Any ideas peeps? Thanks...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mark1948:
Are you all in Christmas mode? LOL

Just to let anyone else that gets stuck know how I fixed this S4 mini. The fact that it booted into download mode means it was soft bricked and that isn't to bad once you stop panicking about it. Because you haven't rooted it yet you simply have to flash the original firmware back onto it and it will reboot just fine. It seems to only work with the original firmware that was on before and if you try a different one you get an Auth Fail in ODIN. I was lucky that I found the right firmware at the 3rd attempt but there are loads of variants so everyone might be well advised to note the exact CSC number of their firmware before they start.

All the original firmware versions are free at sammobile.

Best of luck everyone. Might try and root this again later but I am not feeling brave at the minute.

It did not work because you flashed it on the wrong device. This is for GT -I9195 (dual core variant ,older model) ,you have the GT I9195i (quad core , value edition ) if you look here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-mini/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-t3454110/page14 you will find a recovery compatible with your device.

Hey there,

i was asked by a friend to recover some deleted files from his old S4mini and have a program that requires root access to do so.

First i tried this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2387341

I managed to install CWM , but now the phone wont boot anymore.

Then i found this guide

I installed TWRP and flashed the image. Same problem.

I can still boot into DownloadMode or Recovery, but not start it normally.

All I get is: Set Warranty Bit: kernel

Is there any way to get the phone to boot without damaging the files I want to recover?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] sweetlings:
Hello. I tried to use Dr.Fone to recover some pictures but it didn’t installed correctly and I uninstalled it. However, the next day, my phone stopped working. I guess I bricked it. When it completely stopped working, the battery was on 39% and now the phone doesn’t do anything. I tried all the combinations I saw on the Interenet (power button + volume + home) but nothing helped. Also my computer recognized a USB device being plugged in, but it displayed as “QHSUSB_DLOAD” in the device manager.

My phone is Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (Android version 4.4.2). What can I do?

(1) Will this work (including WiFi) on I9195XXUCNK4 (Android 4.4.2)? Kernel is 3.4.0-3330432. What version of the kernel is in this rootkit? Will I9195XXUCNK4 have version problems with any installed kernel libraries etc? If so, which rom from sammobile should I flash before installing the rootkit?

(2) Someone in this thread mentioned that flashing a rom from sammobile might cause the I9195 to become locked or network locked. Is this true? My I9195 is unlocked and works fine on T-mobile in the USA.

I don't want to brick/disable my I9195. Sorry if these are dumb questions, this 100+ page thread is taking forever to load on this pos microsoft tablet and I have only made it to about page 12.

Question to the knowledgeable

Bare metal Recovery

I will install LOS 14 on my GT-I9195. That will be no problem ...

However, beforehand I would like to save all files for a low level restore with all components that can be restored. I run Linux with heimdall command line installed and working.

I'm sure somewhere there will be a documentation somewhere on what to backup (and later restore) with heimdall. But I can't find it and

heimdall --help doesn't tell much.

I can read the pit (which is partition information of the flash I guess). Therefore, I think I will have to backup (and later restore) all partitions mentioned there, but this is only guesswork.

Any help on the heimdall commands needed very much appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance

Chris

arco68 rootkit successfully installed on I9195XXUCNK4 using Heimdall

Necroposting to an old thread but this might help a future reader. Thanks to arco68 I was able to install this rootkit with no difficulty on my GT-I9195 (LTE) running stock Samsung PDA I9195XXUCNK4 and CSC I9195BOGCNL2. This is Android 4.4.2 kernel 3.4.0-3330432 build KOT49H.I9195XXUCNK4 November 2014. I have not tested calling or data on the GSM network (no sim card) but WiFi and everything else I have tested seems fine. All apps and data survived the procedure as expected.

I used Heimdall on a linux box (Fedora 21) instead of Odin. First download and save the .pit from the phone, then flash recovery.img extracted from recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.1-serranoltexx.tar.zip. There are lots of online guides for Heimdall. Otherwise the same instructions as in the first post. The Knox warranty bit was changed from 0x0 to 0x1 as expected. SuperSU cleaned up the Knox files on request. To verify I had root I used "adb shell" followed by "su". The root request was intercepted by SuperSU. All good.

Many thanks to arco68 for this rootkit. :)

stuck on boot loop

Hey all

Yesterday the phone wouldn't turn on at all, so tried the usual button tricks and nothing, then saw a youtube video of someone gently hitting the power button which worked and the phone vibrated, but then went in to boot loop, i can get in to download mode, but when i try recovery mode, it says booting recovery... then it goes back in to boot loop.

I tried odin and the CW recovery file it uploads fine i get the download bar then i press power up and home as it reboots but i just get booting recovery... then after 5 seconds it goes back in to boot loop.

the phone has a stock rom, but think it's rooted from factory as standard? It's a UK GT-19195 i don't know how to find out what the stock rom is?

any advice would be very welcome
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Boombastical:
Can you check the text which it appear by entering the recovery... ? I don't want to discourage you but it is not good sign anyway... Because it is known by Samsung S4 mini that recovery chipset „get broken“ very quick and often... And if it is so, then there is no rentable repair except buying a new motherboard... So good luck and hopefully it is something else...

Verified GSM network still works fine (T-Mobile sim card) with KOT49H.I9195XXUCNK4 after installing this rootkit.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] HD4Dummies:
Hello, noob on this subject here. :D

I performed the whole procedure from the 1st post (just not the bit for "4.2.2)" without problem but Root Checker still says that "Sorry, Root access is not properly installed on this device".

Is there something implied in the procedure that I did not do? Any idea?

The device is Samsung S4 Mini GT-l9195, Androïd 4.4.2. I bought it over from my previous work but I think it is pretty much "stock". Any help is welcome.

I deleted a whole photo album and I'm not using my phone until I recovered half of them.:(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] j-tech:
Hi, when I try boot recovery I get "booting recovery... " then after about 5 seconds it just tries to boot the phone normally. So maybe it is a hardware failure :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] xda-hayduke:
Try it again and make sure you act quickly during the reboot into recovery or you will have to start over - see the first few posts for details.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] HD4Dummies:
I read the 100 first posts and see no info on my case. I did it again and again.

After Odin makes the phone reboot, I get to choose to install the ZIP file "from /SDcard" or "from /Storage/SDcard1". If I choose the 2nd, I can install the ZIP file but then at the end it stays on "installation completed" or something. I have to press the power button to turn it off and On again, then it says it is updating and starting the applications but I still have no root access (Root Checker says).

Is this because I'm on 4.4.2 and not 4.2.2?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] xda-hayduke:
It's not because you're on 4.4.2. I'm on 4.4.2 and everything worked on the first try for me. Sounds like you have the same phone too. Make sure you have the latest versions of the rootkit etc from post #1. I know the files have been updated a few times since the thread was originally posted.

I have never run Root Checker and I wonder if your phone really is rooted and for some reason Root Checker itself is failing. What does SuperSU say? It's part of the rootkit so you already have it in your Apps.

Try installing the KSHARK Terminal Emulator apk (you can do this without a Play Store account, which is important to some of us). Run the app, and at the "$" prompt enter "su". You should see a "root@serranolte:/ #" prompt, confirming that you have root. If you have adb you can also try "adb shell" followed by "su" at the shell prompt.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

I was referring to Procedure #7 in the first post of this thread. You have to be quick after the phone vibrates. Are you sure you caught the reboot in time? If you didn't you just have to go back and try again from the top.

I'm fairly new to Android - no expert - but it worked for me and I'm pretty sure we can get it to work for you too.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] HD4Dummies:
Good.:good: I'm less sure, but if I had no hope at all I would not be posting here.

Regarding the files versions, the 1st post is from 2013 last edited more than a year ago. I downloaded the 3 files this week and the dates are

-recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.1-serranoltexx.tar.md5: (inside the zip file) 20/3/2015

-S4Mini_RootKit_v2: the most recent file inside the zip file is from 20/1/2014.

I admit I missed step 7 a couple of times but then I did it right at least 4 times since then (the whole procedure).

SuperSU says (it's in french) "Aucun binaire SU n'est installé et SuperSu ne peut l'installer. C'est un problème. Si vous venez de ffaire la mise à jour vers Androïd 4.3, vous devez re-rooter votre appareil manuellement. Veuillez consulter les forums correspondants à votre appareil".

Which translates to "No SuperSU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. It's a problem. If you just upgraded to Androïd 4.3 you have to re-root your device manually. ....."

This is not my case.

If I do install KSHARK's thingy, Is it possible to install the .apk file from the SD card ? How would I do that? I mean if copy the file on the SD card, how do I start it or start the installation?

I'm trying to install as less as possible. The reason I'm doing all this is that I deleted about 3Gig of photos (one whole album) and I'm trying to recover some with the procedure on a web page I can't link to (because I'm a new user) which basically would copy the internal memory of my phone into a raw file, but at the end, nothing happens and the RAW file is created with zero byte. That is probably because I don't have root access.

The more I fiddle with the phone, the less I'll recover.:( Google has already updated loads of crap while I was downloading Root Checker.:eek:

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] xda-hayduke:
To install an apk that you have copied or downloaded to your phone (SD card or wherever) you just have to use the already installed "My Files" app to go to the location of the apk and tap on it to install it. Or you can use "adb install" to install it from another computer.

But since your rootkit install failed there's not much point. I have no idea why SuperSU is outputting that error message. Someone on this forum with more knowledge than me might have some ideas. I would suggest that you first flash a stock rom from sammobile.com so that you know for sure what's on your phone then reinstall the rootkit but that would destroy whatever is left of the photos you are trying to recover.

Not trying to be unkind but next time... make a backup or three of your photos.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] HD4Dummies:
Before I press Start in Odin, while the phone is in download mode, I get this on the screen:

Product Name: GT-i9195

Current Binary: Custom

System Status: Custom

Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0

Knox Warranty Void: 0x1

Bootloader AP SWREV: 2

Write Protection: Enable

Is this last line the problem? Is there something I should change in the security options of my phone?

I tried to uninstall SuperSU but I could only deactivate it, then I retried the whole procedure and now SuperSU is not back. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] IronRoo:
No, it is normal to have write protection set as Enable

Are you sure you are booting STRAIGHT into RECOVERY (not normal system boot) after Odin CWM flash before flashing the rootkit?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] HD4Dummies:
Yes straight from the first vibration. Is there any other way/mode I would get to this screen ? :

-Reboot System now

-Install ZIP

-Wipe data / factory reset

-Wipe cache partition

-Backup and restore

-Mounts and storage

-Advanced

Also weird is that both Home and Power buttons act as "Enter" for navigation, I don't have no Back button. And that's not funny.

Is it normal I have to push the power button for 5 seconds after the ZIP file is installed to get it to restart? Should it not restart automatically? Thanks.

Phone doesn't work anymore | Wrong Kernel | What should I do now?

I rooted my Galaxy S4 Mini using your guide and it worked great, but the battery was drained really fast. That's why I installed the GT-I9195_Kernel_v1.zip as well. Problem is: The Phone doesn't start anymore. I think I had Android 4.4.2 on there (the newest version officially available).

At the moment I can get into the downloading mode and the system recovery mode. If I try to start it normally it shows the samsung logo and says "Set Warranty Bit: kernel" at the top for some time. After that there's just a black screen.

I am absolutely no expert at this so I am asking you, what to do now. My first reaction would be trying to installing the right kernel, but I don't know where to get it and whether that could make things worse.

I really hope, someone can help me here because I am kind of lost without my phone and whatsapp :(

Update:

I just left it with that black screen for some time. Then i tried to restart it and it didn't work so I removed the battery and put it back in (like I did multiple times before).

Then I went into the Recovery Menu again and looked around just to find out what other options there are. I accidentally clicked the wrong button so it started the first option under "Backup&Restore" (not sure how that option is called). Again i removed the battery and put it back in, but now it doesn't do anything anymore. :( Did I just brick my phone? ;(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] redjamesg:
Flash an official Samsung firmware, at this point, that is your only option.

Hi, the Chainfire Auto-Root package is just what it sounds like.

It will root your device at install time with Chainfire SuperSU. Here's a recent XDA news announcement article:

https://www.xda-developers.com/firmware-mobi-stock-boot-recovery-images/

XDA Discussion thread: https://xdaforums.com/android/development/firmware-mobi-t3675896

The thread you linked seems a sound method, although, it's dated 2014 and I don't know how recently the firmware links have been updated, you may have more luck finding what you need on CF's site to use while following that guide, if you're unable to simply install your new stock firmware via Odin alone.

Good luck! ?

Bootloader (BL) > BOOTLOADER...

PDA (AP) > CODE...

The CF page offers both boot and recovery images. Which one(s) should I choose?
