yes !

i'm very happy that there are a kernel developer named TheBootloader who really save our life !!! thank very much to this guy ! :good:

i hope that he will maintain his great thread for better kernel ( and maybe with "eventual" ROW scheduler add : the favourite by default at Cyanogenmod team )

It's very strange this story of new firmware :eek:

some others members of others android communauties have reported the same baterry problem ... :(

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Hello Helen. The method I tried works only for S4 Mini International LTE GT-I9195. If you have it you can proceed and download the following firmware : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=30561

Then u can flash that as PDA / AP via odin. I did all this because I knew I tripped knox while on jellybean. So when you downgrade to the above BNE2 brazil firmware you are likely to TRIP KNOX. I cannot confirm/deny that.

And yes, as far as i know brazil bne2 is the only stock rom that has knox 2 bootloader which is found in kitkat stock.

Other jellybean firmwares can be used as well but keep in mind that u have to remove bootloader files from that firmware file. No need to do that with the brazil bne2 firmware that I mentioned above.

Also read this thread completely...

Yes you are right. BriskV2 kernel gives great battery life. But I cannot comment on stock nh5 as I never used that. But I am now using

[MENTION=4612760]ladislav.heller[/MENTION] deodexed stock rom based on CNH5. So I flashed the modem+rpm+tz and then the ROM. The good thing is that ROM has f4ktion kernel and that kernel just like brisk gives great battery life.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] mayekk:
Hello,

After reading some posts about battery drain issue I started to wonder if the kitkat update is worth to install at all. Someone said, that battery drain issue is connected with motherboard hardware revision - is it true ? I have no battery drain problem on stock JB right now and I don't want to install patched kernels (like Brisk etc.). Is it software or hardware related ? How to eventually check this before updating to KK ? How about new updates - changelog 2659908 ?

you can change different kitkat version without triggering knox, i did it and i still have 0x0.

First spanish version and now i'm running in german cnh5.

Both versions were rooted after i flashed them :D and still 0x0

why dont u try a non branded version?

put an official version of kitkat and if your phone still doesn't want to work, do a full wipe from recovery mode

Back to CM11 for me after weeks of test.......... horrible update ! :(

this firmware become laggy after days of usage , and don't support "big" applis and games (battery suck too much ! ) ,some goods games

heat

very seriously the phone (with CM it's better not "dangerous") .....and the network is not optimised at all ,and the bandwidth is less good than CM ,carbon .... :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] cemimo:
CNH5 France

The first KK that worked for me was Belgium fw. The next one was better, the Spain fw. The speed was good with booth, around 22.000 in Antutu. But I had problems with battery draining.

The latest unbranded firmaware is France and this is the first fw with a csc good for my country (Romania). Now, with this firmware the battery is the way it was on JB, I dont have to charge it twice a day if I use it a little more. The score in Antutu is always between 20.000 and 20.500, but in everyday use I cant say I notice any difference, everything is very snappy.

They probably did something to improve the battery. Or it is just the right fw for my phone?

I'll show you a screenshot, in which you can see the battery going from 90% to 40% in ~23 hours.

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

And other things I've forgot to ask: in Odin I have to uncheck "F. Reset Time” or do other settings?

After flashing I have to do a factory reset?

Scuse me if I asked stupid questions :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
Root: No

check F. Reset Time: Yes

Factory Reset: No.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] puscasum:
I tried but did not work. After flashing the kernel , in the upper left corner of the phone appeared with yellow ”Set Warranty : kernel” (in the center of the display beeing logo with samsung”) and after every 2-3s the phone was restarting (couldn't load the menu). What was wrong? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
"Set warranty " is OK because you flashed an custom kernel. And the reboot could be anything.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] puscasum:
To flash the kernel I click on the AP button in Odin and select the Kernel_I9195_Silviu_v3.tar.md5. Am I doing right?

Does mean anything what says in safe mode?:

Knox Kernel LOK: 0x0

Knox warranty void: 0x1

CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30

Bootloader ap SWREV: 1

Write protection: Enable

Is related to rebooting at every 2-3s after flashing Silvius' s kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
Anything means I can't say from your given information.

You better ask this on the kernel thread.

L.E. Also about I9192UBUCNI2 version that was released Today for Brazil, TIM, even if it`s newer then India`s version and changelist is bigger ( lots of crap added by TIM , around 15 apps ) the fix with Ripple Effect and your lockscreen wallpaper is not present like in India one, it will revert to stock Samsung lockscreen wallpaper. I made my rom and flashed for nothing hoping for something better just to find something worse lol.

Can't receive SMS anymore

Hi everybody,

Last night I've updated my S4 mini (I9195) to KitKat 4.4.2 (I9195XXUCNI3) and since then I can't receive SMS messages. I can send them just fine. The default messaging app I'm using is Messaging and not Hangouts.

I tried rebooting, but that didn't help. I also moved my SIM card into another phone and I can both send and receive.

I put another SIM in my phone and it didn't change anything - can't receive SMS messages.

Does anybody know what's happening or what else can I try to debug this issue? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] andu86:
check in messages > settings > message centre if you have set the right number there or even if its a number there.

if you dont know the number for your sim, put the sim in another phone where the sms is working and write it down so you can then write it into your i9195, this should do the trick
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] motorizare:
Thanks for the suggestion but I already checked that. I'm on Orange Romania. It's set to +40744946000.

And besides, since I can send SMSs, probably this is not the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] andu86:
Try to flash the firmware again, maybe it helps
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] cemimo:
Don't try Vodafone if you're Orange.

You need an unbranded firmware good for your country, something like CNH5 for France or South East Europe. (a CSC with OXX)

Hi guys i have a problem with my phone, i have german cnh5 installed on it and tge csc is kor????

Today i saw that at csc iso in nothing written.

Does this affect my phone in any way?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] jopsinas:
When you wipe and install different region firmware, you'll lose your original csc. It doesn't affect phone in any way, but if you want your original csc back you can edit back mps_code.dat file which is located in /efs/imei.

[I9195][LTE, International] Looking for unbranded kitkat rom

Hi,

where can i get an international (non-branded) version of Kitkat for the GT-I9195? Current rom is I9195XXUCNH5 but this one is crashing all the time.

In another thread I read that DBT is unbranded but this is also named "Germany" on the Samsung-Updates.com website.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
Unbranded means that it is not carrier specific like t-mobile. The German one is international (multilingual). You could also take any european firmware since they all are multilingual.

I'm Using France (bouygues telecom) 4.4.2 CNE6, my original carrier, but now I live in Brazil.

2: French CNH5 (no Carrier)

KitKat builds

I've been using France (Bouygues Telecom) KitKat rom (version CNE6) for a while and it is awesome.

The only problem I was facing is that when my phone has reached 15% of battery left, than it lasted for only about 30 seconds and got to 0%.

I've tried to upgrade to KitKat versions: Spain (Vodafone) CNJ6 and to France (Orange) CNJ5 but on both of them, WiFi didn't work.

So now I'm using Brazil (No carrier) CH3 and it's perfect.

I actually don't know if there's any differences between those builds.. like form CNHx to CNJx
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
If your WiFi isn't working in the first place just reflash the firmware, this will fix it. Happens to me aswell. But every firmware I used was fine. So please stop saying that some are bad because of no working WiFi. Never had any drain. But I strip down my rom.
