need help

Someone who knows, guide me, please.

I have I9192, non-KNOX booloader, stock recovery, 4.2.2 rooted system. For now there is no way to get 4.4.2 and safely root it, without KNOX'ing. Therefore i want to do the next trick:

flash through ODIN old ROM like I9192XXUAMH2 to make SYSTEM STATUS and CURRENT BINARY "official" (to properly flash new KK modem), jump to Download mode again, without booting into OS

flash new KK ROM with ripped bootloader (aboot, sbl*) and possibly ripped recovery, without rebooting

flash CWM recovery (is it possible to make double flash without rebooting device? or i should reconnect device?), may be i have to reboot this time again to Download mode

flash that new bootloader

At the end of this strange manipulations there should be KK system, new bootloader without KNOX bit set, custom recovery and "dirty" SYSTEM STATUS and CURRENT BINARY. Am i right or wrong?

AFAIK KNOX bit should trigger in Download mode when we try to download non-signed image. But i want to download non-signed recovery before i will flash KNOX-enabled bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] wd_axel:
hey guys.

i have a question. i've tried to install the new stock-kk-russia rom yesterday on my i9192. knox is triggered to 0x1 as i don't cared about the warranty and flashed several different roms in the past. i have not made any other changes to the rom or the phone.... just flashed it as it is.

after flashing the new rom my wifi did not work anymore and i still don't understand why.

will wifi be blocked generally if knox is triggered to 0x1?

thanks and cheers.

axel
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] fatjoez:
wifi not related to knox.

flash a different kernel.

i had this problem too on i9190

--------------

Anybody know if its possible to just install i9195 4.4.2 rom onto i9190?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] rrgrrg:
Wait i have an idea .. what about using the old modules and suplicants of wifi from 4.2.2 along with the old bootloader ? :D

Currently im missing

-s5 launcher

-s5 s note,other apps ...

I only manages to port voice recoder,video player and it was really hard in retexturing 4.2.2 apps so if i had kitkat i would just throw s5 apps and they work ...so we wait for the sourcecode hopefully :/
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] wd_axel:
thanks for the info... that news is not too bad. :)

do you know if there is a suitable kernel for the kk rom on i9192?

cheers.

axel
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] fatjoez:
f4ktion kernel 1.5, if no luck, use 1.4.5
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
None as of now :)

Samsung did not release kernel sources for 9195/9192

[MENTION=3716146]fatjoez[/MENTION] Those are for AOSP , tried them and black screen :D

[MENTION=4822300]rrgrrg[/MENTION] thought at that idea . In weekend i will try to replace *.ko`s within rom and see
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] wd_axel:
thanks for you replies...

does anybody here know why the wifi does not work? is it due to different hardware-revisions from different regions?

my i9192 is from panama...

cheers.

Mine is working, what i did was to backup my valuable stuffs, wipe/factory reset, wipe cashe partition, then using odin i installed the untouched official version, everything is working very well.

how to set kernel to permissive on kitkat i9192

how to set kernel to permissive on kitkat i9192 and what is the side effect of installing untouched version other than knox0x1 ?? can i install AOSP and older stock like NB1 ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sunnycee:
I think permissive means it is rooted
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] dr3mro:
it's rooted by the kernel is still enforcing

- VPN not work

- Security not work

How run WIFI,VPN?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
To turn your status to Permisive is a little complicated

U must unpack kernel , edit 2 files in ramdisk, pack ramdisk and repack kernel :)

All on Linux. If u are up for the task i can give u the correct commands .

[MENTION=3574270]micogo[/MENTION] as u see many ppl have problems with Wifi . Reflash again whole firmware 2 3 times with Odin 3.10 . I linked it in Modem thread on top :)

For everyone else that updated to KitKat official after 2 3 days when u use your phone more light . Pls put some screens to see if the battery drain in deep sleep is fixed with stock kernel . For reminder, stock rom JB with motherboard from 2013 and stock kernel does use ~3%+ / hour ~30% per night with all sync/gps/location/3g/data/wifi Off. With a fixed kernel on dual sim is ~0.5% / h. If that is finally fixed i will update to new Kitkat and stop every development i did :)

Reminder 2: sometimes battery drain occur only after second day and after u made some phone calls and u don`t reboot your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] dr3mro:
please can you create a permissive kernel for us or give us a tutorial ? I won't flash kitkat with knox because i don't want to have knox 0x1]

and i have linux on my PC :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ADR USR:
I'll do the test before the downgrade.

Really did not think KK has any significant advantage.

But I can already say that draining in use (browsing only - WIFI and bit 3G) is worse. In 4.2.2 could smoothly up to 5 h - screen on and was left still about 20 to 25%. In KK only 3H 50 M.

KK is really just promises. And not just the S4M. Several other devices receiving saw nothing more than just a slight improvement in performance.

I noticed improvement in performance, but very small.

So it is no advantage to me.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
I did a permisive kernel it did not fix wifi not working when u did not flash tz, or it did not fix phone reboot when u flash tz too.

For now there are 3 solutions :

- Wait maybe someone else, or me finds a way to flash this new KitKat without bootloader and have all working ( wifi , reboots etc ) 99% it can`t be done

- Flash first your phone with an older firmware 2 3 times MH2 for example for Russia that does not contain Knox at all , get your phone to Official status in download mode then update your phone with Kies to MK4 then KitKat . This way u will have Knox active but not triggered 0x0 . U can`t root without loosing Knox status u will get 0x1

- **** Knox and flash like before and root it after :)

[MENTION=4367689]ADR USR[/MENTION] i don`t care about battery in usage mode so much, i care about drain in deep sleep.

As i use my phone mostly for phonecalls my battery lasts ~4 days with 3 h screen max in all 4 days.

If the battery would drain ~30% for night = 2 days ... half my normal charging
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Charlie:
Hello guys, after 2-3 weeks of kit kat on my s4 mini( belgium firmware) i wonder why the battery is so ****ing horrible.I have to charge my phone every night when on jelly bean it was lasting up to 2 days.Do you face the same problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ADR USR:
I'm there one day with KK and feel the same. Battery is worse.

In JB 4.2.2 My problem was with Drain in DeepSleep. Solved by myself.

But the problem in KK is in use. If I want to solve this I have to change my normal use for more battery.

Definitely downgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Muhammad Rihawi:
I suggest you guys flash CM11 and say goodbye to Samsung...In CM11 there is No drain or lag...

And don't care for Knox ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ADR USR:
Well, say goodbye to Samsung would buy a NEXUS or something closer. Makes more sense than buying a Samsung to install AOSP or CM ...:D

Anyway, Kit Kat was never a big update for most users. I'll be back to 4.2.2 . Everything was working fine in my case.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] dr3mro:
If i flashed stock with knox boot loader can i root and will it work and not reboot every five minutes and if needed can i downgrade to nb1 and install AOSP roms? If all about knox 0x1 i dont care
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] 4stupid:
Sir, I'm a little bit confused and would like to confirm, Reflash 2 to 3 times the MH2 firmware will go back to a bootloader without KNOX? Sorry I did not read all posts.

I see many having wifi issue after upgrade to CNG2 as I did not encounter. What I did is, from the latest XXU region stock ROM (with Knox 1 included), and flash the amended CNG2 ROM (trimed aboot.mbn, sbl2.mbn and sbl3.mbn). Maybe it is so called, bootloader with Knox 1 and stock rom.

DON'T FLASH F4K KERNEL ON KK FIRMWARE !!!!!!!!!! thes ones are for AOSP customs roms ! (exept ML1 for JB firmware)

No Vikinger too !!!! the same thing ...

there are no"custom" kernel at this time , and F4K have said that he wait for KK sources for to built a new one ...

I profit to share here by answering myself to my "hidden.img ext4" "FAIL" problem when i test some KK firmware ( generaly all ****UCNEA ) with ODIN ,providing to ****UCNE6 or other version :

( Thank you very much again and again to the redactor/admin ...(i don't know) to "S4.Mini.Archive.com ) :good:

just have to flash one recovery and it boot succesfully on the new firmware , it's very very strange !!! i don't understand ,but it work ...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
No mate, if u already have Knox bootloader u can`t get rid of it :)

This was for others that don`t have Knox bootloader and want to keep 0x0 when u upgrade to KitKat and get new bootloader
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] 4stupid:
Thank you, sir. Got it.

Regarding to the battery drain issue, I'm not the 'light-user" of phone call only but I believe that there are still the drain triggering issue in the new version. I take my usage as an example. Occasionally I will switch on the second sim for my usage. However, after I switch OFF the second sim, it's almost having the log of weak mobile signal (red in battery usage detail screen). It takes 2x more battery use. I have to manually activate Air-plane mode ON and OFF to let it know only one sim activated, then it log the mobile signal back to normal. btw, it takes 1% less for one sim an hour standby, similar to that in JB.

For rooting, either using CF-Auto-Root-serranods-serranodsxx-gti9192.tar.md5 from chainfire; or philz_touch_6.48.4-serranodsub.tar.md5 and then install root files come with the CWM, is run successfully (in my case).

I'm an almost pure stock rom user if possible.

you have probably rooted your phone ?! or you don't have the "black-edition" model ?!

download and instal the update directly by ODIN :angel: ====> http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=30856
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] bodyguard446:
Well i don't root my phones usually and yes i don't have the black edition .

the version you prposed is it stable ? any issues detected on the phone ? or should i wait for a better version ?

Thanks for your feedbacks , i appreciate it

As far as i'm concerned ,i have this firmware now ( but i'm in France) ,and that work very fine , for me ! :good:

strange

I have installed untouched stock kitkat on i9192 russian wifi works now but i still have the random reboots ??
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Loulou-13:
yes,strange ...

If you have already tripped your knox flag ,"maybe" trying to flash a custom recovery like philz for example for to make a good "full" wipe/format for a "clean" phone... and then flash the firmware again...

Tomorrow I do the test in Airplane Mode.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
Thank u ! Almost 2% is much ....

I have ~0.5%/h with both sims online, i never use airplane mode. So it seems Samsung STILL did not fix the kernel despite sources for the fix are half year old and i did write them in 3 places pointing to the sources .

O well, i will stay on my custom rom then until i will sell my phone, very soon and buy another dual-sim
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] gwonder:
Finally GT-I9190 updated today in Russian phones if anyone wants install first install Russian 4.2.2 then update with ota
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ADR USR:
Well, if you are satisfied I will not take the test in Airplane.

Kit Kat does not interest me, in fact. For my use, I saw no advantage.

I have read that in many devices, battery problems are common in KK : Nexus 5, Moto x, Moto g, etc.

I suspect Qualcom processors. But I also think that Google did **** in kit kat.

I'm going back to 4.2.2. I was satisfied.

My question is:

Warranty is no longer a problem now. And I do not want KIT KAT. .

I just want to downgrade and keep me in 4.2.2

But I want 4.2.2 running smoothly.As it was before the update,

And I'm unsure how to do.

Unfortunately our forum does not have threads like :How to downgrade after update,

only isolated reports.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
Wish i could help u, but since i did not update ... Maybe just try to flash an older firmware 2 3 times same one. U could also try my custom rom. I will upload today my final version
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ADR USR:
I've downloaded your last version.

But still undecided about downgrade.undecided about results.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] jopsinas:
I'm also disappointed with kitkat...

Overnight battery holded up fine. I woke up with 95%. And after I started to use the phone, battery started to drain...

I think I'll move to cm11...

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] bfc_xxx:
Which one?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] gwonder:
Finally updated GT-I9190 too for Russian phones if anyone wants install first install 4.2.2 Russian Rom then update with ota
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
Which custom or which phone ? Custom is in my signature

Phone, did not decide yet ... Huawei Honor 6 , Htc One E8/M8/M7 Duos , or if i finally decide 5.5 inch is Ok Lenovo Vibe Z K910 . But for sure no more Samsung :)

Battery usage for 2 days almost on JB
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] rrgrrg:
guys be hopeful.. once the sourcecode released we can do whatever we want so we just wait :) ... the only thing that keeps me to use it is that its the latest + all s5 apps will work directly ..no need to port and do heavy hard stuff ;)

thank in advance for answers
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] yannis11:
Only with Brazil ZTO stock 4.2.2 you can downgrade firmware + modem because the have same bootloader.read previously Post's .but why you won't downgrade?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Download brazil jellybean ububne2 and extract it. Now from the tar.md5 extract NON-HLOS.bin and flash it as CP - MODEM - PHONE via odin.

After that flash the ububne2 firmware as AP - PDA.

-----------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE ANYONE GIVE A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM

I did not downgrade as I mentioned above, I just flashed the tar.md5 as PDA and it worked.

My problem is modem is not upgraded when I flash kitkat ROMs. Whatever kk firmware I flash (germany, spain, cyprus, slovakia, proximus) I remain on UBUBNE2 modem. And I believe as a result of this I cannot access security options in settings app. It gives force close.

Kitkat worked fine only on UK vodafone firmware for a while and I was back on jb. Now when I flash any kk firmware wifi does not work and modem remains same as that of jb(ububne2). Any solutions? Thanks in advance.

For me flash just one time to down/upgrade (for testing) it's OK every time I do factory reset after first boot(first I format everything). Try flash 2/3 times through Odin only the modem .German firmware give me soft reboot.only Belgium/Spain works with no issue. Don't no if CSC have to do something.

Off topic cm11 it's better.

How is performance and battery of stock kk compared to cm11?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] iFlasher:
For me the battery is just awesome... I can browse a lot on Chrome for half of a hour and only lose 1% ... In the night I never lose battery.

In perfomance is good, some lag when I have a lot of tabs open in Chrome or some heavy apps/games in background. But the multitasking is incredible because of Samsung Minfree and lmk stock values that maybe provide less perfomance but a good multitask. In CM11 those values are edited and focused to better perfomance but less multitask.

I´m thinking to try CM11 again to see better how is the perfomance compared to samsung kitkat, but I dont have time for now :(

If you can, try it yourself and share your experience ;)
