Guys, I have problems with ES explorer in extcard, like I can't create new folder or move or copy or zip...

But with the stock Samsung explorer I can copy move...

Is this the bug you talk about above about KK bug extcard?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] salvatti:
The Russian KitKat is a stock rom and entirely compatible with our hardware version in Brazil. It's about flash a original samsung image (with odin). Because of that, no issue will appear, no knox trigger. Everything is working perfectly. Remember what I said: Status is Official after flash it. OTA works! You will keep your cellphone "untouched". I think you will not avoid your warranty as well (no sure!).

Download KitKat on sammobile.com.

If you want to recovery the Official status on the wife cellphone, you must by a JIG or execute a complicated manouver with Triangule Away app.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] JoeCastellon:
Is anyone else noticing poor battery life after installing kitkat ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] chemicalrage:
yup and youtube videos are pixelated randomly. Kitkat is buggy. Am going back to JB.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Charlie:
Buggy?I dont think so...only battery is a 'problem'.Wifi and youtube are FINE for me.Back to jb?The perfofmance of kit kat is faar better

Downgrading the bootloader is not possible.

But you can try with unpacking/repacking the firmware without *.mbn files.

hi !

i think one thing :

with the release of the S5-mini ( with the same screen ) ,it will be much more easy for the devs ,for to have a port of all stock "S5" apps for our phone ???? for our Stock KK or CM11 ... :eek:

it will be great ! no ?! :p
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Helik42:
No
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] JoeCastellon:
Yeah for me only the battery seems to last a great deal less, but it's barely my second day testing.

I did have a couple force closes but nothing worth downgrading for.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
No it won't be easier because the screensize is not the same. S5 Mini has XHDPI with 1280x720 whereas S4 Mini has only HDPI with 960x540.

Besides some apps have already ported from the S5.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] mightyillidan:
guyz srsly i just finished downloading and i was just about to install it but then came ur comments

so i have a i9190 xnox voided only done root

i am faced with huge random reboots like 5 in a row on daily basis

i am faced with battery drainage and sometimes lagg

my question now is should i install russian kitkat or no

and if yes please give me the best instructions to install it without any bugs on my phone
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] fchrkbr:
Yay, KK running smoothly, no issues, not even the battery drain issue
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sha_tan:
Running the Russian KK stock version on my 9192 for 3 days now without any issues. Everything works as expected - no issues with wifi or battery drain. It's a non-rooted stock version with all the Samsung bloatware, but the phone still runs smooth. I'm using mine in India.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] juleeh4ppl:
well just with every time u install by Odin. u have to do it, if WI FI DOESNT WORK, RE FLasH IT!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Guys, I am facing a strange problem. I play dead trigger and subway surfers and have made some progress. Since I never use google account , I use titanium backup to backup data and I have apks of the games. Restoring data of 2 games works fine on stock jb , cm10.1 , cm10.2 cm11 and aosp ROMs. But it does not work on stock kitkat. After restoring app data and launching the games they force close. Anyone facing similar issue?

Need advice...thanks in advance..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] fburgos:
Just guessing... Have you fix permission on sdcard?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ADR USR:
I've always been a critic of updates from Samsung. But this time did an almost perfect job in 9192. Failed only in the drain DeepSleep. But that only happened twice and could detect the cause.. I'm using it for several days and did many tests to reach this conclusion.

Well, I did an update starting from a fully official status. This has probably contributed to the smooth functioning.

Using these days not even had a lag, even on screen transitions.

No other bug, etc.. Really great.

I am also a critic of Kit Kat (google), but Samsung did almost a perfect update.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Muhammad Rihawi:
You are right, I have the same opinion like you.

Very smooth special in multitasking it's seem better than CM11...

But in the sleep it's must be better, do you have any idea to not lose much in sleep?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ADR USR:
In my tests these several days, twice happened DeepSleep drain.

1) When charged up to 100%.

I usually charge 90 or 95%.

When I came to do this not noticed more drain in deep sleep.

2) When I have disabled one of the SIM.

In my tests, when I did it again, then did a reboot.

No more drain in deep sleep observed.

I think this is easily solved by a custom kernel.

Until then I avoid these two situations. And it has worked.

I decided not to root for now. Just three weeks with device.

PS . Charging up to 95% has secured 6 hours screen on. On 2G or WiFi.

The remaining battery is always 20%.

For me excellent.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Muhammad Rihawi:
Yes it's excellent.

So you suggest me to charge till 95% or 90%...

I always disabled one Sim,so I must reboot the phone.

I lose in night 1% per hour nearly...

And in use with WiFi 10% per hour nearly...

Also I use greenify, and turned off Samsung apps...

Thank you for your help :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ADR USR:
I think the bug can be triggered by certain situations.

In all days testing I just identified these two.

I avoided them both and I have had no bug triggered.

Time passed and other situations have not happened in my case I'm cool for now.

I believe that soon we will have a kernel and the update will be perfect.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Yes. I used SDFix from here :: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix&hl=en

Then rebooted and it still does not work. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] cemimo:
I had similar problems with ORS and NZC firmwares(managed to install them only by flashing CWM). The PRO version was pretty good, but not perfect. The only unbranded firmware that I installed without problems is PHE. Its working flawlessly, no custom recovery. I allowed USB debugging and unknown sources and I also installed towelroot->SuperSU->BusyBox->SDFix->Titanium.

The only thing I hate is that I cant have a live wallpaper+swipe&unlock effects for the lock screen. I was able to do that in JB, apparently they removed that in KK.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] vanzemunac:
You need to root your phone to use that SDFix
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
I rooted that phone dude Ofcourse I know that...:laugh: How else would I be able to run that app and get it to work.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] vanzemunac:
Then I don't know why it's not working. Worked fine for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Titanium backup works fine when I install cm11 over stock kitkat. No force closes and data related issues. I usually debloat stock roms heavily before installing user apps so that might be an issue. I may have deleted something essential. Anyway I will try again with stock-deodexed kk rom.

Android is all about playing around.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
I got it. It was an issue with that titanium backup application. My brother bought the pro version about an year ago and I used that app since then. But now I downloaded the latest free version from play store and it works just fine on stock kitkat:victory:. No force closes or data issues. Anyway thanks for your suggestions and sorry for bothering you. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
[MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] i saw u noticed that problem with not charging when phone is off with new bootloader , old command in boot.img and CM and u fixed it on CM

When u don`t have new bootloader and stock samsung KitKat it is the same problem. I tried to fix it with your commit to ramdisk and changed the command but still nothing, phone starts in normal mode :)

Do u have any other suggestion since i can`t add that "bloat" u mention on github on stock Sammy rom

Am i missing something ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] arco68:
Init sources has to be patched, but that's gonna be difficult since there's no sources for Samsung's init version. It might be possible to use the init binary from CM11, but it could break other stuff though.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] 4stupid:
You don't need a reboot, just go to Airplane mode ON and OFF is enough ...

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
Tried it :) All works except of sound . No ring sound / no volume sound in calls on speaker or head. But is charging tho in off mode :)

P.S. Samsung is so stupid ... they patched with those battery drain fixes only board-8930.c and they did not patch board-serrano.c in kernel sources ...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Muhammad Rihawi:
Guys our s4 mini has great battery compared to other devices, you can see the battery tests in GSM arena, S4 mini is always in the top 10 devices... :)

There is the link to see the tests:

http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-battery-test/

And it's right for me :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] afme89:
It has the classic Samsung boot sound. I had a previous firmware (from Sammobile) with a horrible boot sound but thankfully its gone :)

I believe this sort of things are due to some of them being beta firmwares (not available through Kies)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] karaern:
cmon be srious and stop bloating here....

what should i trust ? to my personal experience or to some blogs imaginary test results!

the sour truth is that s4mini with KK or without KK always had and has terrible battery problems, which seems to be insoluble!!!

thats the sour truth...:(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Muhammad Rihawi:
For me, the video test and browsing are really right for me....I have the same result, but the calling didn't test it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] osvanberg:
Well, maybe we should stick to the truth.... SOME have problems with the battery drain, some does not!

Me and my wife has had the S4mini now just short of a year, and our batterys are bloody fantastic! No bloody drain what so ever!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Does that XXUBNB3 firmware have knox 2 bootloader. If not i think it is impossible to downgrade. The earliest modem you can downgrade to is the brazil ububne2. Also there is this new firmware on sammobile ububnc3 or something. Try that. Good luck.

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

Your download mode suggests you did not trip knox. If samsung seeds kitkat for duos s4 mini in your country you will get it via OTA. If you want warranty do not use odin to upgrade. Also you are on knox 1 bootloader and it will be impossible to come back to jellybean once you update to kitkat. If warranty matters wait for kitkat for ur country. Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Loulou-13:
thank ;)

a MODEM problem for to downgrade...just a "modem"........ caused by KNOX ???!!! :eek: it's a joke ??? :eek:

the same problem for a complete downgrade ....... :rolleyes:

it's seriously a REAL SH** this fu*** knox of ***** !!! :mad: ( sorry ! )
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] aaron0989:

So, there will be no problem with the modem, etc?

I guess that the FW contain many languages as well?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Yenien:
Hello guys!

My i9192 is not rooted, with official status and Knox 0x0. I flashed Kit Kat like 3 o 4 times but Im still having troubles with perma-reboots. Any idea why?

I downloaded the file from sammobile and followed all the steps =/

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
What firmware u had before, did your baseband change ? did your knox trip ?

Seems for some people this firmware is problematic :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] csendre:
yep, that would be nice.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Yenien:
Mmmm.. I'm not sure, but the phone is NEW, I bought it last week in CHILE, so I guess that the FIRMWARE was this one:

PDA: I9192UBUBNA2

CSC: I9192UUBBMK2

MODEM: I9192UBUBNA2

My KNOX Warrany Void is 0x0, and I dont know if the baseband has changed. I flashed this...

PDA: I9192XXUCNG2

CSC: I9192SERCNG2

MODEM: I9192XXUCNG2

... but the "rebooting problem" still making me angry ._.

NOW I'm trying to double flash the russian version to see what happens, but if this doesn´t solve it I will try to flash the I9192UBUBNA2 firmware again.

Any Ideas?

Edit: OK, Im completely lost right now. I flashed the russian version without any progress, and now I can´t flash the previous Jelly Bean version.

Thanks for the time :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Yes I believe knox is the reason why we cant go back. I tried 2 older jellybean modems from no-knox firmwares and I was unable to get past odin and baseband was stuck at ububne2. I had to try hard even to properly upgrade to kitkat. Samsung is really wicked. :mad:

---------- Post added at 06:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 AM ----------

There should not be any theoretically. But some users have reported random reboots, network issues and more. You better confirm with other i9192 users before upgrading. Remember you cannot downgrade once you are on kitkat.

Yes all firmwares have all languages. Good luck.

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 AM ----------

Hey [MENTION=4344511]SilviuMik[/MENTION] Does I9192 S4 Mini duos have a jellybean firmware with latest knox 2 bootloader? If so [MENTION=5969159]Yenien[/MENTION] can downgrade from russian kitkat to that. I recommend trying out latest jellybean firmware for I9192. Hopefully that has knox 2. I have i9195 and there is a brazil jb firmware that I can use to downgrade. It works. Just find the latest jellybean and flash it. Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
From what i know, no ... :(

Maybe he have a problem because i went from UBU ( Brazil area ) to XXU ( eastern europe ) and his phone does not like that
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
It is the modem i believe. If modem from previous firmware is retained even after flashing new firmware we are bound to face lots of issues. damn you samsung

Hi,

I'm new in this kind of topics. But I have one question. Bluetooth in JB 4.2.2 does'n support my hart rate sensor (also bluetooth), because that sensor requires firmware 4.3 and more. Is there any possibility just to upgrade bluetooth on my phone.

As I saw, lot of problems with installation of KK...

best regards
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
What S4 Mini do you have? Upgrading to kitkat is the only solution to your bluetooth support.

I have lte version and the deodexed custom rom by [MENTION=4612760]ladislav.heller[/MENTION] is working superbly for me.

Any variant of s4 mini you have wait for a good custom rom and you will be fine. Also you can try kitkat custom ROMs like cm11 , aosp , carbon.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] djokaizbloka:
I have s4mini I9192.

I was trying to understood what is what by reading forum and search, but still I couldn't find what is CM11, how to erase something from ROM, how to find version of Knox... Somebody should explain step by step...

My phone model is I9192XXUBNB1, and nothing changed on him!

Now should I put Russian KK like is described in explanations, what if I destroy something and than can't recover?

I read that couple of guys destroyed their phones and they don't know how to fix..

Thx for helping.

So Knox is removed from Indian Firmware.???
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Yenien:
How can I know if my modem has been retained?

There is a new KK version for India.. should I try that one maybe?

I can´t downgrade without ****ing KNOX, right? So I have to wait until I found a KK version that works on my phone..? If I flash only the modem it also triggers KNOX?

Reading over there I found that the I9192UBUBND1 from region BVO could work on phones from latin america. I will try that version tonight.

THANKS for the help, will come back with news as soon as possible :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Settings > About Phone > Baseband version. If that baseband version matches your old firmware then it is retained. If it matches with new firmware then it is upgraded. Yes you can try Indian kitkat but I recommend waiting for a couple of detailed reviews of that firmware before flashing.

Good luck.
