With Linux

tar -xvf firmwarename.tar.md5 NON-HLOS.bin

U need NON-HLOS.bin

After that

tar -H ustar -c NON-HLOS.bin > modem.tar
md5sum -t modem.tar >> modem.tar
mv modem.tar modem.tar.md5

With Windows :

Extract rom with 7-zip and then search google for "TAR_MD5_PACKAGER"

Flash with Odin Phone/CP

Take care SOMETIMES it does not flash on first attempt just check baseband in about phone

Retry :)

Some modems also need tz.mbn file to work properly :)

It is included in some stock roms
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] rpgdev:
I did it on linux and while I could flash the modem without problems (and odin recognized it as a modem) after that I got the "Prevention Information Warning". I even restored a nandroid backup I did before this and the dialogue still appears. What is worse, it doesn't even let me connect to wifi, when I try to enable it the notification pops up on the notificattion area :(

I unchecked the "F. Reset Time" option in odin because it is done when flashing kernels I think, could that have caused it? I used the I9192XXUAMH3_I9192OJVAMH1_KSA you posted.

I disabled all knox packages on titanium and deleted the containeragent.apk with no luck. How do I fix this now? Flashing the firmware again? Will downloading the firmwares you uploaded on this reply solve my issue: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47938831#post47938831 ? The disclaimer "DO NOT FLASH THIS IF U ALREADY HAVE KNOX WARRANTY IN DOWNLOD MODE ! ONLY IF U HAVE OLD BOOTLOADER" you put there give me pause, what's that about?

Thanks for all the help you've given me btw.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
So first thing .

Check in download mode if u have something with Knox in name, if not u don`t have new bootloader yet so u can flash any rom.

If u had some stock rom with SElinux enforcing maybe that is the "problem" with that message, MK4 have enforcing

I got that message too on some roms but after i deleted Knox stuff from /system/app and /system/containers and a factory reset those messages were gone. Not checking F.reset time has nothing to do with that. Could be that your kernel + modem are somehow not compatible have no ideea about that. Just flash a stock rom from scratch one not modified ( not mk4 ones ) and start from there

When you get the notification of the Security Notice, swipe down the notification bar and long press the "Security Notice" and then select "App Info", select "Clear Data", and then select "Force Close". I have not received the Security Notice. try this too see if it works

U can try what i use on my phone atm ( is stock India rom ) + modifyed system . Deleted some bloat including Knox stuff

Take care tho, it will send an SMS to India EVERY factory reset u do :)

Take your sim card if u plan to factory reset many times before u set it up :)

List of what is deleted : http://pastebin.com/kmLvhaVM + stuff in /system/container

Download I9192DDUAMJ2_I9192ODDAMJ2_I9192DDUAMJ2_SILVIU.tar.md5

U will have status Official with this version :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] rpgdev:
I can't thank you enough for having the patience to explain this stuff to me, thanks! I usually don't bother that much with my phone once I set on some good firmware+rooted status, after that I forget about all this stuff until my next phone! Anyway back to business...

No knox on anything on download mode. I do see selinux status on 'about phone' but is set to 'permissive'.

I tried the app info stuff, it cleared the notification but once I tried to enable the wifi again the notification would appear. I didn't know about the /system/containers, I deleted the files there plus the knox one on app and the notices stopped appearing. The wifi still doesn't work tho.

I will try this one, downloading now. I'm wondering, if I can also install the ones here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47938831&postcount=43 since I don't have the knox stuff in the download mode. My fixation with those is that there you have one of the latest versions of TTT zone firmwares and I think that's the one my phone originally came with and since hostfile is down I can't get them any other way and yours are proven and without knox :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
Yes u can of course. They don`t contain Knox bootloader. They contain Knox files tho in /system/app and /system/container . Root and delete them and u are good to go :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] rpgdev:
I managed to get my wifi back flashing the I9192UBUAMH2_I9192UUBAMH2_TTT, and tested every firmware I could and the issue was still there (on the ones the wifi worked at all) I ended up downloading an update that was available and it did install me the knox bootloader (you warned me, I know) downloaded an available update to it to see if the wifi issue was fixed but it was not. With knox I can't flash the regular stock firmwares? Or just not the ones without knox?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
Bad :( U can flash only new firmwares from now with new bootloader ( Do not try to flash my knox free roms now !!! )

If u root u can trigger Knox, if u flash old firmware u trigger knox. If u flash another part of firmware for example modem/kernel u trigger Knox :(

Read more about it on Note 3 forums i think
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] rpgdev:
:(

That's the thing, I can't root now, I use to have root but since the rooting method I use damages the wifi and then you have to flash the stock kernel (known issue), somehow now this kernel flashing disables the root (it didn't use to do that).

What's worse, the fix that seems to workaround the wifi issue is not even kernel related: "turn off Wi-Fi power save mode on your S4. Type *#0011# on the phone dialer, then Menu => Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi power save mode to Off." although I remember having done that before without luck... anyhow, now it seems to work.

Can't I flash my old I9192UBUAMH2_I9192UUBAMH2_TTT then (rooting worked fine there)?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
U will trigger knox :)

No ideea if u can flash older bootloader roms :( I still don`t have Knox in download mode so i can "play" with roms
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Trepanator56:
Replace only modem

It would be possible to extract only the block of the modem of this firmware I9192XXUBMK4 and flashing on a phone that still without knox. Would it work?

Any help?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
Try for yourself and tell us :)

I9192XXUBMK4_MODEM_TZ.tar.md5 This contain also Tz partition ( trusted zone ) Wifi did not work without it on some roms

I9192XXUBMK4_MODEM.tar.md5

Have fun :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] rpgdev:
My warranty is already void so it doesn't really matter. Apparently the only thing knox does is void your warranty but not much else. I flashed I9192UBUAMH2_I9192UUBAMH2_TTT and the I9192UBUBMK4_I9192UUBBMK2_I9192UBUBMK4_NoKnox_TTT.tar you posted interchangeably yesterday and nothing sinister happened BUT for some reason I9192UBUAMH2_I9192UUBAMH2_TTT never recognized my wifi, I don't have a clue why (I doubt it's because of knox). I just settled on I9192UBUBMK4_I9192UUBBMK2_I9192UBUBMK4_NoKnox_TTT and I'm going to forget about it.

Thank you SO MUCH for the help and having so much patience silviumik, you rock!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Trepanator56:
Thank you very much for your help, which one have to flash?

Once installed, if something does not go well, I guess there will be no problem going back to previous, no? Installing this modem, do not install anything knox, right?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
Try without tz first, if your wifi is not working try second with tz.

Modem does not contain knox

Thanks, now that has changed the baseband, but wifi does not work with any modem (with and without TZ). Any tips?

Also, it takes much longer to boot, as about two minutes ... ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
Bad :( U must downgrade to another older modem or flash again full stock firmware . Try not to flash MK4 one :) so u don`t get Knox
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Trepanator56:
Thanks, I will.

Hi SilviuMik,

I'm Italian guy, so i'm sorry for my english.

I want ask to you, if the Russian firmware (knox free) is completely functionally? My device has installed this firmware release: I9192XXUAMF9 - I9192XXUAMF9 - I9192OJVAMF3 and it's knox free (in download mode I don't see Knox line), so Can I flash my device with your russian firmware Knox free? This firmware has italian language?

Thanks for the Help.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
It is functional but more restrictive :) SELinux Enforced

Battery drain in standby is there for example :)

Yes it does contain Italian language

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
Everything is correct :) U can delete them if u have root or just ignore them if u do not plan to root

Since i live in Romania i settled on the closest country rom to mine which is Ukraine I9192XXUBML2 + CSC ROM ( cache from I9195 ) . I can`t say for now if it`s better or worse compared with MK4/MK5 . I fear with this roms / modems etc is trial and error ... which is working better for YOU :) ( Personal observation : some modems consume more battery power on phone calls then others )

Btw take care tho all MK4 MK5 ML1 ML2 ML4 roms contain Knox bootloader u must delete it before flashing with Odin.

Hi all,

i just got the s4 mini dual sim and I'm not sure I completely understood all this firmware/knox/warranty void issue.

My situation is the following:

AP:I9192XXUAMF7

CP:I9192XXUAMF7

CSC:I9192OJVAMF3

Country: AFR

For this country version the latest update is now more than 6 months old so I would like to upgrade manually but keep warranty since the phone is still very new.

Are all firmwares prior to the mk4 safe to use regarding the warranty?

Do all firmwares mk4 and further need to be modified with no knox or are there some that are safe in the stock version?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] fburgos:
You don't have knox bootloader so you're safe flashing any mk4 and recent firmware as long as they where modified to disable knox bootloader and keep warranty when you flash back you're country stock firmware

Uninstalled/deactivated the Playstore app, battery lasts for 4+ days now, MK4, not rooted.

Hi all, my second post but not new to this thread or forum. Sorry if I start off topic. Just want to ask if anyone has tried the CHO-I9192UBUBNA2 stock.

So far is working great, I'm testing battery now with power saving turned off, will let you know how it goes. Sorry all the technical info is missing- I too lazy for that.
