[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] arsm74:
That would be gr8... looking forward to that
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Migual12:
Could crypto processing also influence the crypto process of CM13 when formatting an SD as adopted storage?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
No idea about that ATM.

TWRP v3.0.2-2 for S4 mini

Hello,

You will find updated packages below. They are only available as flashable ZIPs like any other TRYOUTs. They are TRYOUTs because i recently upgraded my OS. File naming has changed to reflect that they are UNOFFICIAL.

3G | DS | LTE

Happy flashing and please do not forget to report back about them in order to flag them as STABLE if they are working well !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] shadyasker:
The recovery booted up fine on 3g thank you for your work
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
You're welcome :)

i9195

latest version works well on i9195. Thanks for your work as always...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] glkanth77:
The recovery booted up fine on duos and i had performed a backup task and it completed successfully

for now every thing is working fine thank you for your work:highfive:

Hey guys i have a problem, My device [GT-I9190] is soft bricked.

When loading into TWRP Recovery it hangs on the TWRP 3.0.0-0 Slash Screen then reboots to normally, I am able to get into Download Mode but and flash a new recovery and Odin says Pass but when i attempt to boot into Recovery i am greeted with the exact same hang on the TWRP 3.0.0-0 Slash Screen and then reboot
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Flash latest STABLE (v3.0.2-1) package for GT-I9190 available from post #1 with Odin one more time BUT when you got a green 'success' message AND when your device begins to vibrate just before rebooting THEN press and hold 'VOL.UP' + 'HOME' buttons of your smartphone in order to straightly reboot into recovery : by doing so, you will be sure that the recovery is properly written to internal memory.

Good luck

PS : why are you talking about v3.0.0-0 ?! Current version is v3.0.2-2... (TRYOUT)

Tapatalked from my SM-G903F
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diizzayy:
Thanks for taking the time to help me.

That's what i've been doing. Just did it again with the latest STABLE (v3.0.2-1) for my device and it flashed successfully but when i boot into Recovery it still shows and hangs on the TWRP 3.0.0-0 Slash Screen as if it didn't even work.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Okay ! Copy your TWRP directory (internal or microSD card) in a safe place (it contains your backups) AND then delete it. It should help.

Try to boot into TWRP once it's done. IMO your TWRP settings file is corrupted.

Regards

Tapatalked from my SM-G903F
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diizzayy:
How ? I can't.

I'm unable to boot normally and unable to access Recovery and its all internal
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
I did not understand that you are unable to boot to Android either...

If i were you i would try to flash stock FW through Odin (you can grab a FW suitable for your device from [URL="http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/']here[/URL]). Then flash again TWRP and your custom ROM afterwards if any.

Of course by doing so you will loose every data which is not stored on your microSD card.

If anyone has a better idea...

Good luck

Tapatalked from my SM-G903F

PS : if i may, what lead you to this situation ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diizzayy:
I've also done that numerous times and it flashed successfully each time but when i went to boot (either Normally or Recovery) absolutely nothing had changed.

I'm beginning to think i should just toss this phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimbomodder:
Flash full stock via Odin, untick auto-reboot, once flash says PASS, reboot to stock recovery and factory reset then reboot back to download and repeat process a further 2 times, this should fix any issues and then you can start again

sent from Samsung
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diizzayy:
Just flashed full stock via Odin, it Passed but when i went to boot into Recovery (Which should be stock after the stock flash!!!) I am still greeted with the TWRP 3.0.0-0 Slash Screen, it hangs then reboots normally to the Samsung Slash Screen bootloop.

So i'm completely unable to factory reset.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimbomodder:
Re flash again
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diizzayy:
I'll keep trying pretty sure i've flashed over 15 times now though.

Do you have any other ideas as to what is going on here ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimbomodder:
Hmm okay , did u try flashing twrp again?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diizzayy:
I've tried TWRP, CWM, Philz Recovery (Or some name like that) and Stock Roms

I've also tried flashing using Heimdall, that also was successful but nothing actually changed just like with Odin
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimbomodder:
Sounds like it's given up. Can u get any recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diizzayy:
No, Odin and Heidmall always flash successfully (The output even shows on the device in Download Mode when it should) but when i reboot into Recovery it always shows the exact same TWRP 3.0.0-0 Slash Screen
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimbomodder:
OK but if Odin's not working then I'm not sure what's happened, what happens when you manually boot to download?

sent from Samsung
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diizzayy:
Booting to Download Mode works perfectly BUT

at the top i see

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9190

CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM

SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0

KNOX WARRANTY: 0x1

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

I'm not sure what the last 3 are for or why they are there.

Initially i thought the last line 'Write Protection: Enable' was blocking Odin from making changes, but i read somewhere that it's normally there.

I'm just completely lost as to what is going on.

I've even considered doing A FULL wipe of EVERYTHING like you can do in SP Flash Tool in the Format tab, but SP Flash Tool doesn't work for these chips and i don't know of any other way the do a FULL FORMAT OF EVERYTHING
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimbomodder:
Sometimes flashing a different variant will overwrite it but won't work properly until u flash correct variant, have you tried flashing just a boot.img.tar?

sent from Samsung
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diizzayy:
By the way, thank you very much for taking the time to try and help me, I really appreciate it.

No i haven't tried that, where can i find just the boot.img.tar ?

I'll also try flashing a different variant and see if anything at all changes
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimbomodder:
No sorry, my son has my old I9195 model, using your PC and 7zip, extract the boot.img from your Odin from file, then right click and highlight 7zip-add to archive, then select tar file and OK. Once done its Odin flashable
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diizzayy:
Thanks for the info, i'll do that and flash the boot.img right away
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimbomodder:
Hopefully it might trigger something
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diizzayy:
I just tried flashing just the boot.img then just the recovery.img, The flash was successful but neither did anything.

I'm going to try flashing a different variant now hopefully that'll make some king of change, any little change really will allow me to get on the right track
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimbomodder:
Well let's hope
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] fahrer17:
So we did it today using his Win10 Laptop and Odin and everything worked properly.

Well, almost... I had problems installing latest CM13 for serranoltexx. The error message was something like "Updater process ended with Error 7, couldn't install cm13 blablabla" (I don't exactly remember the output). I tried the nightly before with no success. Then I decided to test it with http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-t3313751 and it booted without any issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Okay, that's nice but are we still talking about the issue initially reported by [MENTION=7605896]Diizzayy[/MENTION] ?

FYI recovery updater 'error 7' can be worked around by deleting 'assert' code from the updater script of the flashable ZIP which is failing for you. I must add that deleting it will allow you to flash it without being sure that the file that you are trying to flash is compatible with your S4 mini variant so be careful...

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diizzayy:
No he wasn't.

I think i've just made a discovery, Whilst stuck on the TWRP Slash Screen (Which hangs for about 10 seconds then reboots) I have adb access, I was thinking maybe i can do a full wipe via adb but i don't know if 10 secs is long enough. Any ideas ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
If the last FW that you did flash to your device was stock (Odin), then begin to boot your device to Android (it does not matter if you cannot boot to Android properly unless your smartphone is not bootlooping...) and try to reinstall stock FW through Kies (SAMSUNG software)... it will maybe help...

Good luck

Tapatalked from my SM-G903F

PS : IMO adb is useless in your case...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diizzayy:
When booting into android normally i just hangs on the Samsung Slash Screen, never reboots or anything.

Ok thanks i will give kies a shot
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
It will maybe allow you to use Kies in emergency mode...

If ppl start modding their phone you might at least expect they know which is which...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] riahc3:
Um, I flash it thru Odin and 'VOL. UP' + 'HOME' and it works. But next time I want to boot into recovery, it boots into "Android system recover (3e)" and I cannot boot into TWRP again.

Why?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] :
Because in 1128 posts this question has been asked numerous times?

Because only a few ppl know what phone they have?

Because a simple 20 second Google search is such a huge effort on the part of aspiring modders?

Because the forum is searchable?

Becasue a little self-reliance is such a huge ask?

Nah, it must be indeed because it's a huge effort on the part of the op. ;)

I got your point btw. Hope you get mine.

I have an Android one device(sprout8) and it has v3.0.2-2.

My question is, what is Meant by this -1/-2 part?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
TWRP versioning scheme is like this AFAIK : vA.B.C-X means...

A -> major

B -> intermediate

C -> minor

X -> release counter for the same upstream version of TWRP. A higher number may mean (or not) that new merged commits are included. It is device specific.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] riahc3:
If it was listed in maybe people wouldnt ask the question

That doesnt even make sense

Those 20 seconds can be reduced to 0 if it is listed in OP

Why are you repeating the same thing twice?

So are you saying that OP is lazy? I dont agree, I think its just a honest mistake on their part

OP problably did not notice.

Not really, but if wanting to making yourself look cool on the internet makes you happy, so be it

Hi, I Think i screwed something up. I have a Swedish LTE s4 mini i9195....and earlier this year I got help in this thread to install TWRP and Android 6.0.

Then at sometime I used it's built in download funtion of the nightly, which worked fine. Today I tried the nightly from the 18th of August and now all that happens is the blue head when starting. It's been for 2hrs.

Took the battery out, and tried again but same thing. Tried to enter TWRP by vol up+home+pwr and it says Recovery booting, and then gets black and turns of. Please advice me, gurus

Finally, TWRP starts so I guess a restore will take care of things...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] BOTUS:
thanks for the advice so far, and I'm sorry to keep asking, but each step of the way I hit a stumbling block which the instructions don't appear to cover. (seems to assume you already have something installed or set up so it works) - from what I have understood to flash the rom you need to have first

Install Samsung Kies on your PC ( I got 3)

- and connect your phone via USB to PC - this loads the samsung drivers to you windows PC

Install ODIN on your PC ( I got 3.12.3)

1.Turn your device OFF.

2.Press AND hold 'PWR' + 'VOL. DOWN' + 'HOME' buttons.

3.Connect your USB cable and press 'VOL. UP' button to confirm that you want to enter into DL mode.

4.Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time", and then click 'AP' button.

5.Select my 'recovery.tar.md5' file that you previously extracted from my 7zip archive and press 'Start' button. The phone will reboot when finished.

6.When the phone begins to vibrate just before rebooting : IMMEDIATELY press and hold 'VOL. UP' + 'HOME' buttons to boot straight into your new recovery. <= THIS LAST STEP IS NEEDED ONLY ON SOME S4 MINI DEVICES TO ACHIEVE THE FLASHING PROCESS SUCCESSFULLY.

this allows you to flash TWRP to your phone

which in turn allows you to boot into the correct place to flash the actual ROM this post refers to.

My current issue - I have all the files but now there is NO DL mode to achieve this step

3.Connect your USB cable and press 'VOL. UP' button to confirm that you want to enter into DL mode.

What is odd it I thought I'd seem in last week but def not there now ???
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Hello,

First of all your 'Odin' version seems to me a little bit too high : i would prefer this one from SAMMOBILE instead...

Now, if you are not able to enter download mode at all ATM, you should try to : phone OFF -> press and hold 'VOL. DOWN' button (with and without 'HOME' button... without was working for me), then press and hold 'PWR' button too and release it once your phone is ON but release 'VOL. DOWN' button (and 'HOME' button eventually...) only when your device is displaying that it is booting to DL mode... (left upper corner of the screen)

If you cannot enter DL mode still, then repeat instructions above but as a starting point simply reboot your phone instead powering it OFF : while rebooting, when your device's screen becomes blank then press and hold 'VOL. DOWN' button (and 'HOME' button eventually...) without pressing 'PWR' button at all...

Let me know if it helped

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] BOTUS:
Thanks,

I got onto DL mode :) flashed (TWRP) recovery.tar.md5 using Odin3-v3.11.1. took seconds to reboot ? the only bit that's different when it reboots is now the time and date are incorrect. Is that all I should see with TWRP added ?

Tried to do the next steps

Boot into recovery.

2. Wipe data and cache.

3. Flash cm-13*.zip.

4. Flash gapps*.zip. You must flash gapps after every upgrade to CM-13.0 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons.

5. Reboot phone.

got same issue I always had doesn't like E reboots

So tried TWRP again took seconds to reboot and this time, trying this step

6.When the phone begins to vibrate just before rebooting : IMMEDIATELY press and hold 'VOL. UP' + 'HOME' buttons to boot straightly into your new recovery. <= THIS LAST STEP IS NEEDED ONLY ON SOME S4 MINI DEVICES TO ACHIEVE THE FLASHING PROCESS SUCCESSFULLY.

Behaved exactly the same and looks just like a std reboot except as above the time and date are from 2013 (not correct)

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

why can't I just use ODIN to put on

openrecovery-twrp-3.0.2-1-serranoltexx-STABLE.tar.md5 ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
I think that i am not following you correctly, so i have a few questions for you :

-> is my latest TWRP image properly installed now ?

-> is CyanogenMod 13 ROM properly installed now too ?

-> is time improperly displayed in TWRP or in CyanogenMod ? FYI it can happen that time is inaccurate in TWRP just after its installation and it should be the case no more once your ROM will be set up...

1st point, yes how do I know if TWRP is now on my S4 Mini? (how come it seems to flash in less than 10 seconds ?)

2nd, I see your point ones z7 the others .tar.md5

I think the time is me confusing things, I see whenever battery removed with it on, its clears time on next boot (sorry)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] BOTUS:
I ended up starting all over again and for third time of trying this bit got it to boot in TWRP (thanks for helping out and making the tool)

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] DannyRitiu:
It works!

It worked perfectly on a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Duos GT-i9192. It helped me to install CyanogenMod 13.0 with Android 6.0 Marshmallow and my phone is greater than ever!

Hello, i got an Problem.

Maybe it has posted often here but i can't found a way to solve it.

Got a S4 Mini GT-I9195 with a bootloop. Friend did something with Odin but dont know what he did.

Now i tried to install CWM to get into a recovery to install cyanogenmod.

I followed all guids i found with the same result: "Dead Android - Symbol" with an error "Kein Befehl" - like "no order/command..."

Any Idea?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] IronRoo:
This thread is for TWRP recovery not CWM, TWRP is probably your best option as it is maintained (by the awesome [MENTION=5280400]ne0zone75[/MENTION]), unlike CWM. Try flash the latest TWRP version.

If you still have same issue open a new thread in the problems forum. But you must find out exactly what your friend did to your phone and give as much detail as possible otherwise it will be hard for people to help you. If all else fails flash a full stock ROM that matches your latest installed stock rom, then install TWRP (option 1 method in OP) and then CM etc
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Follow QUICK ODIN HOWTO from opening post AND do not forget step 6 to properly install TWRP on your device.

Once booted in recovery, backup your /data partition.

After this you can either flash stock ROM for your S4 mini downloaded from SAMMOBILE or flash any custom ROM... it will depend on which ROM is currently installed on your smartphone AND particularly if you want to restore your data from your fresh backup done with TWRP...
