Yes, Reboot from recovery to recovery it's ok.

I noticed also a smallest bug during backup: it shows for "number of partition to backup" a negative number (-12199601287 or similar).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Well, a new bug ! That is not what i was expecting...

Anyone who is running new TRYOUT can confirm this one please ?

Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hollandais:
Yes I confirm.

My device says : Total number of partitions to back up: -1224057061.

New TRYOUTS : another attempt to fix MTP...

Good morning,

New TRYOUTS are online, this time built along with OmniROM LP ROM tree :

OmniROM LP GT-I9190 TWRP v2.8.5.0 TRYOUT

OmniROM LP GT-I9192 TWRP v2.8.5.0 TRYOUT

OmniROM LP GT-I9195 TWRP v2.8.5.0 TRYOUT

Happy flashing and thanks in advance for the feedback about new releases ! (just hoping it will boot...) :fingers-crossed:

NB : i made small changes to CM device tree about MTP, it might be working now...; new TRYOUTS are only available as flashable ZIPs ATM...

BIG RED WARNING :

these builds are experimental

compared to CM-12.0 TRYOUTS released a few days ago because i had to 'omnify' S4 mini CM device tree first, then i built only for 3G variant : unpacked, edited and repacked ramdisk; finally repacked kernel + ramdisk for 3G/DS/LTE variants !

PS : CM-12.0 TRYOUTS are still available from this post...

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Well... from my point of view, your issue is strange... :confused:

Please double check that there is not any '. twrps' file stored somewhere on you internal / external storage... you can search for it in any file explorer (it's an hidden file...)

If you find it, simply safely delete it... that file is where TWRP stores its preferences ;)

Good luck

'Take a screenshot' from recovery feature is now implemented in latest TWRP build...

Hello, a TWRP update is posted; updated download links are available on post 1... check it out :D

This update is sporting the 'take a screenshot' from recovery feature which is very usefull i think :victory: To take a screenshot from recovery, simply press 'volume down' + 'power' physical buttons of your phone simultaneously :highfive:

NOTE : screenshots saving location is 'Pictures/Screenshots' onto your microSD card if you have one... if you don't have inserted a microSD card in your phone, files are saved to internal storage in '/tmp' folder ;)

Kind regards

TWRP Update ! 2 new branches now available...

Hi all, i've splitted the download categories into two different branches today : STABLE & DEV

Please checkout post number 1, thank you !

-> STABLE : It will always only include the latest upstream merged commits, nothing else but stability !

-> DEV : It's based off the STABLE one with extra features preview (which are not merged upstream commits yet...) It is as stable as the STABLE one except for the features previewed (

'take a screenshot' from recovery ATM

)

There is also a TWRP update for the STABLE branch : you can review included upstream merged commits here :good:

Enjoy ;)

TWRP for GT-I9190... part I (this file is not working !)

Hello all ;) I'm releasing now a brand new TWRP build for GT-I9190 :victory:

It belongs to the STABLE branch of my TWRP builds

and IS a PRE-RELEASE so

i do not guarantee that it will work correctly

BUT it really should because GT-I9190 is sharing 'serrano-common' CyanogenMod's device sources tree with GT-I9195 which contains TWRP build flags and twrp.fstab (both are the same in the building process of TWRP for these devices, only kernel is device specific...)

If you are interested in trying it out, please download the zipped Odin flashable file below and please report back, thank you !

Custom TWRP JB/KK v2.7 for GT-I9190 TRYOUT

Happy Easter to all of you :D

Tapatalked from my TF701T

BIG RED WARNING : a user just send me a PM a few moments ago because this TWRP build seems to not boot properly (i am currently awaiting for a confirmation about it...) PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO FLASH THIS FILE until i find out what is going on for this user... Thank you a lot !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] TNCS:
Will try it tonight. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Hello all, [MENTION=5720204]TNCS[/MENTION] I am wondering if you have any feedback to share on it, please... anyway, thank you for downloading and trying it out :good:

FYI i will release a TWRP update this week will a lot of commits merged for both the STABLE & the DEV branch (GT-I9195); 'take a screenshot' from recovery will certainly still be the previewed feature for the DEV branch... ;)

If feedback is positive on my GT-I9190 TWRP build, then i will release it and make it available from post 1 like it is from the GT-I9195 one (both branches will be available)

Be well :D

TWRP update released for GT-I9195...

Hello all,

I've just released a TWRP update for both GT-I9195 branches ! GT-I9190 builds are ready for sharing but before releasing them, i'm waiting for some feedback on the preview version ;)

Both Dev-Host and xda download links are updated :good: Please check out post number 1... thank you !

Have a very nice day :D

PS : As usual the STABLE branch is including all merged commits at build date while DEV branch is still offering the 'take a screenshot' from recovery feature (but it is updated...) ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] TNCS:
I'm quite busy this few days than expected. But I'll try it as soon as given the time. I also recently discovery TWRP won't be able to do EFS backups for the S4 Mini. I want to do a back up of that before I try the TWRP. You'll be the first to know once I tried.

Allright, as you know there is absolutely no need to hurry ;) And i'm getting short in freetime too these days ;) Thank you again for trying it out, i really appreciate :good:

FYI EFS partition is mounting properly on GT-I9195, why do you think it won't on GT-I9190 ? Am i missing something ?

Kind regards
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] TNCS:
Guess I wasn't being clear about the 'EFS'. People want to backup the EFS mostly for the IMEI, serial, etc. But on S4 mini the IMEI is stored beyond the simple NV.DAT under the EFS folder. Guess they either try to protected it hard from being corrupt or changed. Either all EFS folder backup isn't sufficient any more for IMEI backup. I've already messed up my serial when trying F4k's early Slimkat build, which I could easily restore the serial on the S3 but not the S4 mini...

To conclude, it quite defeat the purpose of having a 'EFS' backup.

Wanted to root my 9192....can anyone suggest which file to flash using Odin.....

Thanx a ton in advance...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
If you just want to root stock firmware for your GT-I9192, then you can flash GT-I9190 7zipped Odin file from STABLE branch, here ! Unpack the .tar.md5 file which is inside the archive and flash it to your device with Odin. Once done you can either use TWRP embedded SuperSU or flash the 'su' package of your choice... :good: Nevertheless, if you do want to flash custom ROMs to you DS variant afterwards, you will not be able to do so as is : you will have to edit ROM installer 'updater-script' file a little bit or just flash the today DS TRYOUT that has just been released over your previously installed TWRP !

Best regards
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] therohanchawla:
Thanks 4 D prompt reply I just wanted to make sure which variant is compatible with 9192 the 9195 or 9192???....
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Any S4 mini build will boot on your GT-I9192 BUT you will have to flash a dedicated DS one if you do want to flash custom ROMs... If you just want to root your device, then flash the file i linked in my previous reply with Odin ! ;)

Please give a look at this little reminder intended for DS owners.

Hey [MENTION=5280400]ne0zone75[/MENTION], I saw your posts in the twrp building thread about the issues you had on lollipop. Does that mean you have resolved them on the omni tree?

Would you mind giving some build advice and share your BoardConfig and device manifest?

Does the build still fail when using cm-12.0 tree instead?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] tchavei:
So... Having cm 12, which file should we use? The omni ones?

Good morning,

I had been told that TWRP LP was not working for S4 mini, so i sticked with TWRP KK for a while and then i decided to build it, just to check if it was working or not and it always went fine... Nevertheless, there was more or less annoying issues with it when building against with CM ROM trees (11.0 + 12.0) : i left CM-11.0 behind and focused on CM-12.0 BUT like it is stated in the opening post of TWRP DEV thread, it seems that it will be more and more difficult to build TWRP along with it... So finally, i decided to use Omni-5.0 ROM tree because there are no compatibilty issues between TWRP LP and ROM sources (TWRP is the official OmniROM recovery...) and also because it seems that doing so is a prerequisite for getting official support from TeamWin for an officially unsupported device like S4 mini... (it is in progress... :good:)

To summarize about the issues i had : i could have kept working with CM-12.0 BUT soon or later it would have been complicated to do so, so i switched to Omni 5.0 !

I am ready to help you :highfive: : just tell me what you do need by replying to this post over PM, thank you !

NB : recovery is properly building with CM-12.0 too... ;)

A recovery is a small operating system, it does not matter at all which ROM tree has been used to built it as it is working ! So my Omni 5.0 builds can be used with every custom ROM and also with SAMSUNG stock firmware... :good:

Have a nice day !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] tchavei:
Thank you. Going to flash omni version then.

Tony

Hi ne0zone75,

I was trying your last build (Omni 5.0 - openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-serranoltexx-STABLE-signed.zip) on my i9195 LTE, the flash was good but i have problem with the MTP function.

I mean my windows 8 x64 don't recognize the device (i9195) ! For the ADB driver i installed it manually and works good.

Here is a screenshot perhaps you can help me, thank you in advance.

Best regards and keep you good work !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hollandais:
That's very strange. I use also his latest 2.8.5.0 omni twrp and my I9195 is seen by my computer with win7. I can put or delete files from the one to the other.

Also for me MTP works correctly into recovery with Windows 7 (64 bit)

Driver installed: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver 1.5.49.0
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Do you have already installed SAMSUNG USB drivers on your windows copy ?! It will be maybe useless to do so but i think that you should try.. the easiest way to install up to date ones is to install SAMSUNG 'Kies' software... USB drivers will be installed automatically !

Anyway, it is whether a driver issue or a USB port one (try also to plug your phone to another USB 2 port if MTP is still not working after having installed above mentioned drivers...)

Let me know if it helped...

Is your windows 7 copy 32 or 64 bits ? And had you to install SAMSUNG USB drivers to get adb/MTP working on it ?

Thanks

Hi ne0zone75,

Before posting yes i tested all what i knew :

- Install Kies

- Switch USB port

- Reboot computer

- Try with Google USB Driver from the SDK (that solve the ADB driver)

- Uninstall driver from device panel control

Before flashing your recovery, my i9195 was on PhilZ CWM Recovery and everything worked good (no problem with driver or MTP).

Thank you in advance for your support and help !

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Allright, thank you for the details ! :good:

Then it is maybe caused by the way MTP is implemented in TWRP ATM... BUT that is just a guess...

Now, if you do have the opportunity to install a fresh copy of your windows 8 64 bits inside a virtual machine (with virtualbox for example...) and then only install latest SAMSUNG USB drivers inside it, it would be interesting to see if MTP is still failing with your testing OS because IMO it should work... windows behavior is sometimes really weird...

Please keep me informed about your issue,

Thank you !

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Oijkn:
Well after some tricks all works good !!! (Happily i have some skills in computers ^^)

Here is the steps to follow :

************************

** FOR ADB DRIVER **

************************

- Download Google USB Driver.

- Then unzip the downloaded file

- In the control panel device manager install the ADB driver from the unzipped file

************************

** FOR MTP DRIVER **

************************

- Download my modified INF : mtp_driver_OiJkN.zip

- Then unzip the downloaded file

- Follow this tuto to Disabling Driver Signature on Windows 8

- After rebooting your Windows without Signature Verification go to the control panel device manager

- Install the MTP driver from the unzipped file

- Reboot your computer

And here we go you can access to your phone :)

Best Regards.

TWRP MTP and Windows 8...

Well, i think that your solution to this particular issue will be very profitable for all windows 8 users who will want to use TWRP MTP from their copy of windows 8, that is why i will soon update opening post by adding a link to your above quoted post if you may...

Okay, thanks ! (i will add a note to my OP probably this weekend...)

PS : did you install SAMSUNG USB drivers through 'Kies' or 'Kies3' ? Both are working for S4 mini BUT the first software seems to have limited windows 8 support according to SAMSUNG website... (so i assume that drivers installed by 'Kies3' are the most up to date ones... this needs to be confirmed...)

In my phase tests i tried both version... That seems the Kies version have more files installed (installation was longer than Kies3).

Flash on gt-i9190 for root

Hi all,

I want to flash this recovery on my gfs phone (s4 mini i9190), primarily to get root access and use diskdigger to retrieve photo, she deleted her camera folder and didnt have a working SD card in, so it's all on the internal memory.

I rooted my s4 i9500 using philz touch with odin 3.07, so i am familiar with the process of rooting, but still rather new to it.

I just want to make sure about a few things, because if I brick her phone it wont end well for anyone, so here is what I have:

GT-I9190

4.2.2 Jellybean

I9190XXUBNA1

Have developer mode enabled, so will enable USB debugging, phone doesn't seem to have KNOX so wont worry about that.

I already backed up the phone with samsung kies, same version I used for my s4.

Now which version of Odin should I be using? I have 3.07 on atm, but most place I see 3.09 being used for the s4 mini?

And if I follow the right procedure then the risks of damage are pretty non existent right?

Thanks in advance!

Odin TWRP installation

Good afternoon,

if you just want to root your device, then you might consider doing so with CF-Auto-Root by [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]...

but if you want to be able to perform a full NANDROID backup before beginning to modify your phone's OS (rooting), then you will have to install a custom recovery like my latest TWRP builds...

You will find the usual procedure to install my 'Odin ready' TWRP file below and it applies to any variant :

download my 7zipped .tar.md5 TWRP file suitable for your variant and extract it

download Odin v3.09 .zip file and extract it

open Odin v.3.09

reboot your device in 'download mode' (press and hold 'home+power+vol. down' hardware buttons once it is OFF)

connect your phone and wait until it appears in 'ID:COM' field

add the recovery file by clicking on the 'AP' radio button

make sure everything is ticked/unticked like in the attached screenshot below

click the start button, sit back and wait few seconds until your device reboots

... once you are back into android, your phone is still not rooted but TWRP is installed, then :

download latest SuperSU flashable .zip

reboot into TWRP (press and hold 'home+power+vol. up' hardware buttons one it is OFF)

backup any partition you want (anyway i would recommend to backup /boot + /system + /data + /efs...)

flash SuperSU

reboot to system

... this time, once you are back again into android, your phone is rooted !

Let me know if this helped...,

Regards

BIG RED EDIT : my latest builds will maybe not work properly on your device because of your PDA version which is a JB one, then you should consider upgrading your phone's OS first (through 'Kies' for example...) or use another method to root your device...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] waldfee:
hi, I used Odin to flash the stable LTE version from the first post to my I9195. After rebooting into recovery I got a black screen and some big letters (probably "TWRP") flashing on the screen but showing to quick one can baerely read them.
