FYI, this doesn't work on the GT-I9195 with the quad-core on 4.4.4.

You'll get this when you try to boot in OS or recovery:

You have I9195I

Thank you SO much for the tools! This saved my Girlfriend's phone - hopefully she enjoys the clean CM12.1 now :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rogier666:
Sure. Any version number that ends with "MH2" has a knox-free boot loader.

But if you already have a bootloader with knox, flashing an older version will just brick your phone.

So if you still have an old bootloader on your phone, make sure that you don't update it. Once your bootloader is knoxed there's no way back.

Every time i flash the recovery it still stays with the stock recovery. Even if i untick the reboot and hold the home and volume to go direct to recovery after flash.

Is there anyway to fix this?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] DeusEx80:
Flash twice with Odin:

1) flash first time unticking reboot

2) reboot in download mode

3) flash second time with reboot option enabled
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] uha666:
Still the same, after reboot i hold the home and volume and it still goes to old recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hansare:
Battery out.

Afterwards boot in download mode with 3-button-combo and flash again with Odin.

Can I flash only CWM because I want to make nandroid backup first before rooting to preserve original copy of stock system? Can I root after flashing CWM?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] luisbraz:
Yes. Do the backup between the indication 7 and 8, like there was a 7.5 - in the cwm recovery perform a backup to the external sd.

Failed attempt to install recovery on new S4

This is my first post to XDA, so first let me say how impressed I am by the support you guys give to all us newbies. Thanks

I have been attempting to root a new Galaxy s4 mini and have read a large part of this thread and attempted to follow the instructions carefully. But without success.

If someone can help I would love to be able to free this phone of all the samsung junk.

Story so far:-

I've attempted to root using the Skipsoft Toolkit and using Odin directly.

All attempts have failed with the odin message of 'Get pit for mapping' followed by a Complete(write) operation failed.

The progress bar on the Download screen on the s4 never gets past the first millimetre.

1. The drivers are up to date.

2. I've tried several USB cables and am plugged directly into the back port.

3. I've tried Odin 3.07 & 3.09 recognition of the phone is fine.

4. I've tried with Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time selected and not selected.

5. I've attempted to flash recoveries CWM 6.0.4.6 & 6.0.5.1 & TWRP 2.7

6. USB debugging is on.

All fail.

The phone is

I9195 running 4.4.2

Baseband I9195XXUCOI4

I'm using a very old Dell laptop which I think my not be running USB 2 all other computers in the house are MACs.

Looks like the Skipsoft Toolkit is only supported up to stock 4.2.2, your phone is 4.4.2 (not that I've used Skipsoft)

I think it means CWM did not install properly, flash it again

I flashed the recovery but when the phone vibrates and I immediatly hold the keys Home and Volume Up, it starts normally. No way to start the recovery mode. If it can be useful, the Android version is 4.4.4. Thanks in advance for help.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Seeedex:
Instruction says to only use the rootkit if im running stock rom. Does that mean I have to go back to stock from CM12 or is there some other, faster way?

Sorry if this has already been asked, first time with a s4mini
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] serti6610:
I have flashed the latest CWM and flash the rootkit got my phone rooted so thankyou for that. But when I try to flash a custom rom, it gives me error 7. can someone provide me with a solution ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] luisbraz:
Flash latest twrp recovery. That error is probably due to trying flash a ROM that is not supported by the old cwm recovery. You can also download again the rom, it could be a corrupt zip file.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] serti6610:
I have tryed every recovery for this model GT-i9195 but all of them gives status 7 error when I try to flash custom rom. Do you have a solution for this.:confused:

One year ago I have my S4 Mini with a stock rom only rooted (not FLASHED new ROM) and yesterday I flashed new custom ROM but now problem is that my S4 Mini is not rooted anymore. What I must to to that I have again rooted my phone because I saw on the first post of this thread that this will not working if I have custom ROM "

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] serti6610:
do you have custom recovery if yes than download the root toolkit v2 from this guide just flashed with recovery. it says its only for model gt-9190 but i have done it on gt-9195 and it works very good as well. goodluck :good:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Jonny_Brravo:
Yes, I have CWM recovery from this guide because I have rooted my phone using this guide. So, u want to say that I dont need Odin, just recovery and zip file for root?

Update: I've tried via this way but doesn't work, I still have unrooted phone with a custom ROM. What I have understood from reading is that only way to have again rooted phone is that I must flash new stock ROM and then make root, but I'm not sure will I loose root if I again flash custom ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] IronRoo:
Did you select "YES" when asked "Root access possibly lost. Fix ?" I lost ROOT when flashing CM12.1 one time with CWM by selecting yes even though it had always worked before, you should actually select "NO" to keep root. I just re-flashed the ROM and selected NO, and ROOT came back.

But might be different on your ROM
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] serti6610:
can you share with us which rom you have?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Jonny_Brravo:
I didn't saw that it asked me "Root access possibly lost. Fix ?" I just trough CWM flashed ROM from F4k and I got new custom ROM on phone but now I don't have acces to root.

Edit: You had right, it asked me. Now I've chosen "No" and no difference, is still unrooted. After all I have with Odin flashed CWM v6.0.5.1 and then flashed custom ROM but then I got error or somthing 7 am not sure and of course I could not flash new ROM and I had to return CWM v6.0.5.0 and then flash new ROM but ofc again without root access after all. I dont no...i go to try stock rom and then try..

Like I said up I flashed ROM from F4k thread
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Jonny_Brravo:
It seems that problem is with ROM which I had flashed. Now I flashed new custom ROM and got root. Am not sure why exist problem with root on F4k ROM but now am sure that ROM is problem ....:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] serti6610:
yes you should go back to stock en root with root kit v2 after you flash the custom rom, and ask you the first time for root lost. just fixed it so Yes. hope it works out for you.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] disapointed user:
I continue to be Disapointed

OK, i followed all your steps, without success of course... why? i dont know. Have you ever heard for an issue while trying to boot into recovery. This is a famous message "No Command" . Trying to power on my gt-i9195 but no success. Phone just shows the samsung logo and reboots. I can boot in download mode, install dozens of firmwares with odin. All steps seems to be ok, but when my phone reboots.......same ****, just reboots and i can't enter recovery mode.

My question is: Is there someone who enables me to change my user name in xda from "dissapointed" to "Happy User".
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Jonny_Brravo:
Have you flashed recovery through Odin? If yes, then try again but now try CWM v.6.0.5.0
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] disapointed user:
Hi Jonny, i've flashed recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.0-serranoltexx.tar.md5 with odin app but same problem, phone is still rebooting and i can't access recovery mode.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Jonny_Brravo:
Odin showed "green" with a "Pass"? If yes, can you then describe how to trying to do it, I mean on your phone how to trying get in recovery mod, and what stands on screen?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] serti6610:
If you flash stock rom does the phone start correcrly?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] disapointed user:
Yes. Odin showed "green" with a "Pass", and yes i've tryied stock , no success. I want to clarify that in download mode i see the SAMSUNG BINARY: OFFICIAL, Bootloader RP SWREV: 2, WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE etc.

Is it possible that this "WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE" cause any problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] serti6610:
No its normal that you see that. I have the same and I can just flash fine. I did send you a PM check that out. It might be your only chance to give your phone life again:angel:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Boombastical:

Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction...

Have CWM 6.0.3.3 and used it to flash CM13. CM is all kind of foobarred- booting but every Google service crashes on boot. Have tried nightly, stable, with and without GAPPS.

Have poked around and the suggestion is to use a newer recovery (don't see how this can fix the issue), but I keep getting and error with my PIT file when using JODIN.

Have tried using Heimdall to install clockwork 6.0.5.1 and TRWP 3.0.2-1 with no luck.

^^ Looks successful, but booting to recovery straight after and I still have CWM 6.0.3.3.

Have tried via JODIN but I get this error everytime- "We could not obtain the pit file. We tried, but it didn't work. "

Have also tried exporting the PIT via heimdall-frontend, and get this message when trying to flash in JODIN... "The PIT file was corrupt. We cannot continue without a PIT file"

So where to now? Surely upgrading the recovery shouldn't be this difficult?

This metod work with S4 Mini GT-I9195L???

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini of Claro.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Rlazgoth:
Hi all,

I rooted my phone with this method back in 2013 with version 4.2.2. I never bothered updating to Kit Kat but now a bunch of apps are stepping up their requirements so I'm considering updating so I can hold out on buying a new phone for a while longer.

I am somewhat of a newbie and my knowledge doesn't extend much beyond rooting itself, so I'm not sure what would be the proper way of updating a rooted phone. OTA won't work from the phone, but I have the option of doing it through KIES. I also determined the correct firmware version and have the correct kit kat ROM file and can flash it through Odin. What would be the correct way of doing this? I am considering attempting the KIES update and re-rooting later on, would it cause any issues?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] tkontonis:
If you want to stay with stock firmware KIES is the easiest way. The problem is that KIES doesn't recognize the rooted firmware as stock and will do a clean install wiping out all your apps and data. This is also why the OTA doesn't work. If you use Odin there is always going to be a clean install. Because I had the same problems I started using Cyanogen ROM. My advice is go to CM12.1. There is a CM13 but I wouldn't recommend it. There are guides to help you if you search the site. And before you do anything do a backup.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jazmomo:
stupid question maybe:

initial posting has been updated recently, so: do the attached files still work for 4.2.2, or are they updated for 4.4.2?

thanks a lot. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jazmomo:
ok, i did it, but it doesn't work properly.

i can NOT delete KNOXAgent.apk

i get the security warning about blocked access. :(

supersu told me it disabled KNOX successfully but that doesn't seem to be the case.

/edit: ah, i was able to RENAME KNOXAgent.apk and after that i could delete it. now it works as expected.

Technically, no, but it is a good risk. Always backup

Does not work. Installs a temp recovery. You turn on and turn off and then turn on to enter recovery and all you get is the standard Android recovery.

Hi all

I've been using CWM 12.1 for a while now and I want to upgrade to the latest (13.0) but is seems that the recovery version needs to be updated first. Is there an easy way to do that?

Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] luisbraz:
Yes. In the CM 13 thread, in op, there are the link to the recommended recovery (TWRP). If you have a cwm or twrp recovery you just need to flash the proper file in recovery. If you have any other recovery, you just need to flash the proper file on Odin.

Hey guys,

I got the same problem as "diasappointed user" some sites before:

The phone dosn't boot and restarts everytime at the Samsung Boot Screen.

Recovery Mode shows: "No action".

Download Mode works.

Tried installing several CM's via Odin, which where shown as Successfull... but same Problem with the restarting Boot Screen...

Tried several Recovery Menu flashes, but everytime there's the "No Action". (Already tried recoveryclockwork,TWRP... but doesn't help too..)

I just want to get the photos which are on the internal storage of phone, the other things don't matter.....

Anyone knows help ?

Please Help me guys.

I'm still working on CM, and have the last few days been struggling with rewriting the audio config that defines mixer control and usages. Samsung uses completely different names than what's in the audio hal in CM, and rewriting it and testing is a huge pain. And then on top of that Android 4.3 was released, so even more work bringing that up too.
