Fantastic - much thanks. I didn't realize the link on pg1 was new. I installed it and it runs like a champ.

I like it so much, in fact, that I'm considering getting an S4 mini myself as an uprade to my S3. Is this ROM supported on AT&T?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
AT&T and Verizon models have locked bootloaders afaik, so at this time they're not supported. There's a workaround called loki, which is used on the regular S4, which might work on the mini as well, but this has to be integrated in the ROM. Since I have none of these phones, it's a bit difficult for me to do that properly.

CM 10.2.1

I realize this thread is about CM11, and BTW I really appreciate all the work going into bringing our phones up to the newest CM software.

Can the recovery from the OP be used to load previous stable CM versions for the Sprint S4 Mini (SPH-L520), CM codename jfltespr ?

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=jfltespr&type=stable

UPDATE: Sh!t I realize the link I gave is actually the SGS4 (for Sprint), not the S4 Mini.

So, then... is this Unofficial version of CM the only build for the SPH-L520, for ANY version of CM?

Where did this CWM recovery image come from? The official CWM page doesn't show any support for Sprint S4 Mini.

TWRP doesn't seem to support the Sprint S4 Mini, either

http://teamw.in/twrp_view_all_devices

Just got this phone, and I assumed since it was a Samsung Galaxy that CM support went without saying.

In reality, neither of the most common custom recoveries support it. And the biggest custom ROM has no official versions.

Wow, real disappointment for me :(

Makes my support for the OP and the efforts for this unofficial version that much higher.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ScottHW:
I just bought this phone (new in box). It is Android 4.2.2 out of the box. I downloaded the OTA, but didn't install it. If somebody can remind me where that file would have been saved, I upload that OTA update. I think it would have teh radios and such that s0be said he was unwilling to OTA to get.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] dbpaddler:
should be some /cache folder if you can poke around. I forget if you need to be rooted to access via an explorer that has root capability (es, root explorer or what not).

I'd happily donate to whoever has the skills to do a root method via odin. I wasn't even thinking when I took the OTA updates and now knox has kicked in and killed root. So no root, no custom recovery and no roms until that happens. Unless someone knows something I don't, which would not be that difficult of a task. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Joanzin:
I found this update listed as a firmware at samsung update and I am confused. I flashed to my phone but it still is not KK 4.4. It says its L520VPUANA7 4.2?? I thought L520VPUANA7 was a KK update. Anyways...it wouldn't boot. It got stuck at the sprint spark screen. So I reflashed to the cyanogen rom 23 and it now has APNs but no operator. It's as if the APNs are off. Just hought I'd let anyone know who is interested .

http://samsung-updates.com/details/26601/Samsung_SPH-L520_Sprint/SPH-L520/SPR/L520VPUANA7.html
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] dbpaddler:
NA7 is the latest, and no, it's not KK. KK hasn't been released yet for the S4Mini. I do wonder with Sprint EOL'ing the phone, if they'll even bother. Would be a ****ty thing to do when Samsung has promised to update it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ScottHW:
OTA update

I was able to grab the OTA update.zip file. Turns out it downloads to

/cache/fota/update.zip

[MENTION=753345]s0be[/MENTION], maybe this would be helpful in some way

https://db.tt/PFonywLg 26.35 MB

Give me a quick heads up if/when you DL the file.

I think I will install this OTA update. If/when I do, I'll post any details I observe. I'm not 100% certain what exactly is in this update; Android version, Samsung junk, firmware? radio? bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ScottHW:
Is there any clear/specific reason why I should not do the OTA update? Links/details would be appreciate, as opposed to "The OTA killed my dog!!1" FUD that occasionally gets thrown around.

I realize I will have to do the rooting process again.

Will I be able to Kies to flash my bootloader?

Will I be able to use this (unofficial) version of CM?

Thanks

UPDATE: I found a few other threads, but there really isn't very much info here on XDA about the Sprint version (SPH-L520) of the S4 Mini.

No. You have to ask Sprint to unlock, and then that's only for overseas use, not local use on AT&T or Tmo or their MVNO's.

custom serranolte recovery

SPH-L520

Hi I was wanting to know are there any instructions how to flash/install the serranolte recovery?

I used a different recovery and was able to install your ROM, but it keeps getting a pop up saying No APN for this device and the internet isnt working. Everything else seems to be fine. I have tried adjusting and replacing and adding APN, but it doesnt take.

I reread the post and I saw the ROM should only be flashed with the serranolte CMW, this may be my issue.

Also, I had another question. Would any of the other roms for the s4 mini work with SPH-L520, I see this is the only mod for the mini that is for SPH-L520.

Thank you in advance :)

recovery-serranoltespr_cwm_based_6.0.4.7.img or recovery.tar.md5
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] dbpaddler:
This is it for the 520. And did you not read the OP? Specifically says to use the linked recovery only and not to use any other recovery with this rom.

That could be your problem. Could always Odin stock and start from scratch.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] 2ndComing:
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. You think I have to go all the way back to stock with Odin? I have it backed up on recovery. Then flash serranolte recovery. Wipe/Reflash yada yada. I have to do ADB to flash that recovery, correct? looks that way.

Thank you for speedy reply by the way
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] dbpaddler:
Is this even a world phone? Just because it has the sim doesn't mean it has gsm on board.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

I imagine you can flash the recovery in the OP and flash the ROM again,and see if that fixes things.

I just like things to be smooth, and when I have issues like that, I take the extra 10-15 minutes and start from scratch.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] 2ndComing:
Totally understand/agree, I am helping a friend he is in Vegas, I am in Dallas.

I will need to look up all the things to go back regular stock, using Odin, unless you have a quickdraw like your replies :) Really appreciate you. I am not trying to be lazy I promise haahaa
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] dbpaddler:
If I could quick link things for you I would, but I'm on the road and hopping back in the car. The ROM would take a few to download. Links are in the one rooting thread though.

I tried using the philz recovery to restore and I got force closes everywhere. So I did some research and found out that there is a setting in phliz recovery that your supposed to check off called "process SE context JB 4.3 settings".

The "Misc nandroid settings" option seems to be missing from this version of philz recovery.

Is there some way to fix permissions so that a nandroid restore won't force close allover the place.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] dbpaddler:
What part of "do not use other recoveries" did you not understand? The guy spells it out clearly in the OP.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] speedy1979:
I am using the recovery posted by the OP, I haven't used anything else. I am wondering why nandroid restores force close that is all.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] dbpaddler:
Don't mind me then. It's been a bit. I thought it was a cwm recovery, not philz. I had to stop using this because it broke my GPS all three times I tried.

Fixing permissions never helped me with nandroid restores. I ran into that once on my S4, and ended up restoring from 4 month old titanium backups and a month old sms backup. Wasn't happy.

Can't flash recovery? [Solved]

I've tried recovery.tar.md5 using odin 3.10 and heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery-serranoltespr_cwm_based_6.0.4.7.img. When I boot to recovery (power off, hold vol up, power, home) it looks to be the stock recovery and not anything like clockwork or TWRP.

Sorry, if this is a silly question. It's been years since I've used a Samsung device that wasn't a Nexus. Both heimdall and odin looked like they were successful. Here's the output from heimdall:

$ sudo heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery-serranoltespr_cwm_based_6.0.4.7.img

[Moto X Q&A] Wingdom:
Normally, I wouldn't hesitate to factory reset, but because of the complicated nature of root/updates losing root/bricking devices, I want to be sure before I do this.

I have a Verizon Moto X, on 4.4, rooted, and have frozen the MotorolaOTA app so I don't get update notifications. I have noticed some weird behavior with my device, and just general instability, so I want to factory reset, but keep root. Can I just go into settings and hit factory reset, and have everything be ok (keep root, no brick, no update)? Should I go through the whole process of downgrading back to 4.2.2, rooting, updating, like I did when 4.4 came out? Basically, what is the best way to reset my device, stay on 4.4, and keep root?

I use camera FV-5 no matter what when it comes to needing great pictures. The stock Google camera also is great 80% of the time. Those two seem to be the best IMO. remember to wipe off the camera glass before pictures also, simple but some people forget to. Also scratches on it will reduce the quality. ANYWAYS, those two cameras + epics mod = definitely acceptable.

[Sony Smartwatch] yomiguy:
Hi people!

The fact is that I'm using a lot these last days my smartwatch 2 with endomondo and a geonaute band to control pulse but endomondo extension needs an update.

It seems it has been the same since smartwatch 1, and it's a bit ugly and doesn't support low battery mode. So if I want to see my pulse I have to press the button twice to turn on the screen while running! And that's annoying!

If they add low battery mode the screen would be on all the time! And it would be easier to run.

If you are endomondo users please vote for this feature in the next link, where they get ideas for the future ;)

Thank you!

Hi people! I hope endomondo will update their poor extension for our smartwatch.

In the meanwhile, I've realised that we can use the new widget endomondo 10 brings to show info on the screen al the time combining it with the ap remote widget with low battery mode on ;)

The bad thing is that we'll be able to see just one of the three infos available of the widget due to the small screen of our watch. So you should choose the most important for you, in my case heart rate monitor ;)

A small solution that doesn't fix the full problem, but at least it's more comfortable than having to press the button ;)

Hey.

This is my first time at this site and I am not sure if it's the best place to post this. I searched for solution but didn't find it anywhere.

I have a galaxy tab 3 SM-T210. I installed crash rom succesfully and it worked great, but it didn't have the samsung boot animation when i booted it. It wasn't a problem until last night. I downloaded a couple launchers from play store and it got a little laggy. Then I went to bed and didn't look at my tab until the next evening. The screen remained black after I pressed the lock button. Then I put it to the charger, and still nothing happened. I tried to reboot it and it showed the normal "samsung galaxy tab 3" but after it, no boot animation. Usually it worked when I pressed the lock button after like 5 minutes, but now it didn't do anything. It didn't go to recovery mode or download mode. Whenever I try to boot it, there is only the "samsung galaxy tab 3" text but after it the screen remains black. It can't do anything but display the start of the boot animation.

Any tips on fixing this?

Extract the MJ5 bootloader zip to a location on your PC

Boot into download mode on Note2 and on PC open Odin as Administrator (plug your phone to usb cable).

- Click the Bootloader button, browse to MJ5 bootloader and select it.

- Click the "Start" button and wait for the phone to reboot.

After that.. Reboot into download mode again and you should see something like "KNOX WARRANTY VOID" - you are on the new bootloader.

I would then Reboot into custom recovery and re-install your current 4.3 rom (unless you want to try another one, then follow their instructions). This should stop you from having FC issues.

Install 1.0 on the computer (don't install on the PPC!) and then install 1.50...
