Quick question mate, if I currently have the previous version, how can I jump to this one?

Can I just flash the new one with CWM, or do I have to follow the whole steps (flashing the firmware again, then the root package)?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ladislav.heller:
So can we flash the new S4Mini_RootKit_v1.zip over the old GT-I9195_RootKit_v2.zip ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ValenteL:
Tried on XXUAMH4 Rom whit SECURE stock kernel. Works well.

Now on /system/app I have also "SuperSUNoNag-v1.00.apk".

Whit Root Verifier from Play Store we have busybox version.

Thank You

PS: About SuperSUNoNag... we can read HERE.

Oops. Wrong thread, sorry
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] vax:
Tested on MF5 LUX. Working perfectly.

But now when I try to look for updates, it says "Votre appareil a été modifié. Vous ne pouvez plus recevoir les mises à jour", meaning I won't get OTA updates anymore.

If I want to get the OTA updates (with the risk of loosing root, I know), do I have to re-flash the original recovery or unroot, or both?

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

And one more thing: with this method, no need to remove Knox: the phone doesn't complain after rooting!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ladislav.heller:
Flashed the new S4Mini_RootKit_v1.zip over the old GT-I9195_RootKit_v2.zip and root is gone :(

Edit: I think I know, why the root is gone. I moved some stuff (dalvik cache, etc.) using Titanium Backup to the /system partition and now it is full, there is no free space. I need to free up some space.

Can somebody create a CWM script which deletes some google apps from /system? :D

Please! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] arco68:
Yes, flashing the new one over the old should work fine, as it will remove the old superuser stuff and install the new. Only thing is that the insecure kernel will remain installed, unless you do a complete rom reflash or manually flashed the boot.img from stock rom.

You have to unroot yes. I think there's an option in SuperSU for that.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] turbare:
Give it a go with Kies instead of OTA.

Was getting the same message OTA, but when connected to Kies it let me update.

After that had to re-root as I was getting the annoying KNOX messages.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ValenteL:
Yes, there is. Before try the new RootKit_v1, I unrooted my S4 Mini on SuperSU/settings/unroot_completely.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ladislav.heller:
Is there a CWM flashable ZIP which restores Samsung factory recovery?

having trouble with rooting 9195

just got my phone today and i was trying to rood with the method at first post and unfortunately didn't work. i'm on xxuamg8

i flashed the cwm via odin ok but when i enter cwm none of the options work.

help please :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Whosat:
Are you sure you are navigating through cwm correctly? There isn't touchscreen support so you have to use your volume buttons to scroll up and down and the home button to select. Power is back
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] neofral:
is the power button executing the menu?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] radicspeter:

Hi, I've found little problem.

I have rooted with S4mini zip.

It is really good but I can not connect to sshd which is started on my phone (SSHDroidPro).

I'm using putty and after connecting and enterring user/password the putty window immediately close.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] karaern:
i rooted by the same method and i can see the LTE in the menu...

you should had used a wrong zip file...just use odin 3.09 and GT-I9195_RootKit_v2. they just work perfect.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] neofral:
that's exactly what i did
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Whosat:
Did you have LTE before you rooted.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] neofral:

i rooted the phone before i started using it
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Whosat:
Are you very certain your phone line and sim card are 4G capable?

I remember reading that them option doesn't show unless the sim card and phone line are compatible with 4G networks.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] neofral:
it maybe so. however, we are still expecting to have 4G anytime now in my country and was curious.

the surprise to me was that i also have Sony XPERIA V, and with the same sim card the option appears
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Whosat:
It could be just a precautionary measure by Samsung so users wouldn't send their phones in if they enable the LTE option and realise they never ever get a LTE Connection and think it's the problem with the phone but really is an issue with their phone subscription / carrier not supporting LTE instead.

I could be wrong though so maybe someone familiar with how those options display could chime in?

Hello and many thanks for your OP ! I have a few questions for you ... At the time i rooted my device i missed to press vol.up / home buttons when rebooting after flashing the custom recovery via Odin so i switched off the phone and then powered it back on by pressing correct buttons and entered successfully in recovery ... so i guess this step can be skipped or missed and done later right ? What about the insecure kernel ... optional step ?

I've rooted my phone following your OP but ended up on flashing the custom recovery because at that time your "S4Mini_RootKit_v1.zip" file was not available ... then i flashed SuperSU v.1.65 from recovery but that is all; i noticed that in your package there is also busybox ... what i'm missing since my phone is rooted with OTA update check available and without "warnings about applications doing not permitted actions" ?

Thanks for your reply,

Regards

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] arco68:
Insecure kernel is optional yes, and not really needed with S4Mini_RootKit_v1.zip. You're really not missing anything if root is working.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] agustin.farias:
Just to be sure, my phone is a GT-I9195L, not GT-I9195

Can I root with this thechique?

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] arco68:
With S4Mini_RootKit_v1.zip it should work fine yes.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] SCHUMI_4EVER:
Hmm, is it safe for me to use this method to root my LTE version S4 Mini if Samsung KIES can't identify my phone's firmware since my carrier probably made their own alternations? Or would that mean I have a different kernel and would need a custom solution?

And if it does mean I'd need a custom solution then can you help with that?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Check if a suitable firmware is available for your device (CSC matters here-> your carrier) on www.sammobile.com ;)

If true, then flashing this firmware to your cellphone using Odin's settings described in [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] OP will restore your device with official ROM :)

That's it !

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
In this case go to the 'About Phone' tab in your Android device's settings menu you'll find details about your current FW (PDA, CSC & MODEM)...

Tapatalked from my GT-I9195

PS : Samsung Kies can tell you such info about your crurent FW too ;)

nvm I got them deleted.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] SCHUMI_4EVER:
So as to my question from a few days ago which still hasn't been answered...if Samsung KIES doesn't have a clue what Firmware my phone is using/can't update it, can I still root using either of those 2 kits? And if so which one? And would it be possible to do a custom solution for me if I can't root using either of those kits? (Phone shows JDQ39.I9195XXUAMF6)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
If i were you i would not flash [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] kernel kit in this case but only his SuperSU+busybox kit which is harmless for the device in my opinion (but i may be wrong ...) If you have successfully flashed CWM recovery (must work ... it's hardware dependent and untill you have a GT-I9195 aka serranoltexx it will not brick your device BUT be sure of the model number of your cellphone first)

To be cautious, i would first find out why your phone does not tell you about your current FW (PDA & CSC) version and why Kies is failing to retrieve such information ... AND this before flashing anything because if you don't have an official ROM tar.md5 file there will be no go back option for you !

Good luck ;)

PS : check baseband in 'About Phone' tab instead of version number, mine is showing same as yours BUT my CSC is BOG ... and my country is France (phone is not showing that you'll find that on www.sammobile.com it's an abreviation for your carrier ...)

Tapatalked with my TF300T
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] SCHUMI_4EVER:
South Africa isn't listed there at all...so what does that mean?

And my Baseband is identical to my version number other than lacking the JDQ39. in front of it.

Just checked GT-I9300 for my sister's S3 which has been out for much longer so there should be a listing for it...but nothing there for South Africa either. I should try connect it to KIES and see whether KIES can read that.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] dr_jerremy:
Deleted

Never mind I get it...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Baseband is your FW's PDA version number.

It means that your FW is missing from SAMMOBILE database for the moment and if you can identify your CSC number by any way (for example factory reset from Android settings menu -> just to be sure there's nothing which prevents your current FW from being retrieved by Kies... then Kies re-connect your cellphone directly to a USB port on your computer... one which you know that it's working and don't use a USB hub in any case ;))... THEN you could ask guys @ SAMMOBILE or @ samsung-updates.com to upload a suitable file for your device...

You have already your FW's PDA version number (baseband), there is only CSC version number which is missing... is your phone locked to a particular carrier ?

If i were you, i would ask for support directly from SAMMOBILE Forum... there's for sure a way to identify your FW PDA & CSC version numbers...

Good luck in your quest :thumbup:

PS : Info found on samsung-updates.com => "Dial *#06# to get the IMEI and write it down; Dial *#272*IMEI# on the dial pad.

Check Your ‘Sales Code’ (PCode) – after that hit ‘Cancel’ ! / ‘Install’ will wipe Your phone." PCode is your 3 letter region code inside your FW's CSC ...

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] SCHUMI_4EVER:
It's not locked as far as I know since it's actually illegal for carriers to lock phones here but they added some of their own apps and so on.

I should probably check which region the firmware for my SE Xperia neo comes from because they'll likely use a firmware from the same region as base if they've done any tweaking of their own.

Typically we share things with the UK or other european countries although as far as I remember the neo firmware was actually Africa and the rest of the world but that's what I would have to check to be sure.

Was able to get my IMEI...but it contains a modifier at the end which I wasn't able to enter which is why I think that command doesn't work for the S4 Mini

[QUOTE="arco68, post: 43622999, member: 3044346"][B][COLOR=Red]WARNING! ONLY USE THIS ON THE GT-I9195 MODEL![/COLOR][/B]

Hello all S4 Mini owners!

I'm happy to finally release ClockworkMod recovery and an insecure kernel for the GT-I9195. With these two installed on your device, obtaining root is easy.

Attached to this post is the necessary files needed for this task. Download the following files:

[LIST]
[*]Odin_v3.09.zip (if don't have it already)
[*]recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.zip
[*]	S4Mini_RootKit_v1.zip (contains SuperSU v1.65 and BusyBox v1.21.1)
[/LIST]
Extract recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.zip file to your computer.

The procedure is as:

[LIST=1]
[*]Copy the "	S4Mini_RootKit_v1.zip" to your device SD card.
[*]Turn off the phone.
[*]Press and hold home, volume down and power. Download screen should appear.
[*]Connect USB cable, and press volume up.
[*]Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time", and then click AP button.
[*]Select "recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.md5" file that you previously extracted, and press Start button. The phone will reboot when finished.
[*][B][COLOR=Red]After the phone resets (it vibrates) IMMEDIATELY hold volume up and home buttons to boot into recovery mode.[/COLOR][/B]
[*]Select the option to install the ZIP file you have previously copied to your device and begin flashing it.
[*]After flashing using CWM, reboot into system and enjoy your rooted device.
[/LIST]
To get rid of the the warnings about applications doing not permitted actions, delete the following files from system/app

[LIST]
[*]KNOXAgent.apk
[*]KNOXStore.apk
[*]ContainerAgent.apk
[/LIST][/QUOTE]

Hi sir Arco,

thanks to your modified kernel (included in the rootkit_v2) i've solved battery drain issue of my s4 mini.

but with that kernel when i use Radio fm with "alternative frequence ON" the phone restart (if OFF works fine). i've read that was a bug of a first s4 mini firmware solved with the latest update.

this happens because your modified firmware is based on the first firmware release? if so could you create a modded version of that kernel based on the latest firmware? unfortunately if i use kernel stock my phone have big battery drain when in standby.

thank you very much indeed for your work

Hi, i have i9195 with I9195XXUAMH4 firmware. Can I root I9195XXUAMH4 firmware with S4Mini_RootKit_v2 or S4Mini_RootKit_v1 ? What is the difference between V2 and V1?

Thanks in advence!

Dejan
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] arco68:
Yeah I can make a modded stock kernel with the updates from the latest sources.

Use V1 if you don't need a custom kernel. The difference is different superuser programs and that V1 has working busybox.

Not sure if you can flash it with stock recovery, but you can try.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] arco68:
I've removed the v2 rootkit and added an updated build of modded stock kernel to the first post. Those that only want root, use v1 rootkit as usual, and those that want the modded kernel with latest changes from Samsung, can optionally flash that.

With this program i have deleted all partitions, then i have created a unique primary partition and formatted it with fat32 and cluster size=32kb.
