Yeah it is. Most of the time I do. But was in a rush and used the app. (If in a rush STOP and do BACKUPS).

I was kinda not reporting, reporting a bad app.

(cause I have no logs, so there it is)

Just a heads up for people to do backups before doing ANYTHING even the actual tool that does the backups.:D

Thanks for your helpful comment.;)

TWRP updated to 3.3.0-0 ..... and op is also updated by ripee ... https://www.xda-developers.com/twrp-3-3-0-release

Have you i9195i version, twrp-3.3.0.0-serranoveltexx?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] fabi280:
My father broke his GT-I9195 today, its "just" the display and digitizer which is broken.

He had it completely on stock firmware, not even ADB is enabled. Now he wants me to secure all his data if possible.

I didn't find any information whether you need to unlock your BL on this phone and whether installing TWRP will wipe /data

Could you please give me a short answer to this?

If I understand it correct I just have to flash TWRP via ODIN and thats it. TWRP has adb enabled, so I can work on the phone without a display.

It would make it a bit easier than directly accessing the eMMC
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ripee:
To the best of my knowledge, no carrier that had offered the GT-I9195 had locked its bootloader. Installing TWRP will not by itself wipe any partitions, well except Recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] fassal:
I also would like to have a newer TWRP recovery version for the I9195I Value Edition, especially since the newest version available cannot decrypt the data partition.

Please ripee is it able to get at least the decryption done? I would send you 10 bucks haha. Well, I know it is not easy and takes time and if I could help I would. Thanks so much!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ripee:
I cannot speak to any twrp for serranoveltexx being able to decrypt your data partition, as it is a separate device. Can I try building twrp for it? Sure, the sources are updated available, but no guarantees.

Something wrong.

I tried to install it with TWRP app, to my I9195i, and phone not start. Only Download mode.

3.3.0.0. seems OK

Please ask the developers of the msm8916 chipset to bring up twrp 3.3.1-0. I do not have the time to work on it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] fassal:
Sorry for the stupid question, but who exactly would that be?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ripee:
Good question. Their github account is github.com/galaxy-msm8916
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
I believe that would be the developer (ex-developer?) whose xda screen name is [MENTION=4931116]Danil_e71[/MENTION] and whose ROM work has come a long way over past few years. He recently had a new daughter, and has been less active around here since. I'm still using his LOS-16 in one of my S4 Mini's, and sincerely hope he will be back soon with LOS-17 and Android 10.

Does the latest version 3.3.1-0 support the new system-as-root in Android 10 (LineageOS 17.1) ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ripee:
You can use the official TWRP to flash lineage-17.1, but if you want to do anything in the rom's folder structure while in TWRP, keep in mind that TWRP mounts the system partition in the /system/system folder, not /system.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Anteries:
Hi, is using TWRP a good option to root a GT-I9195 LTE 4G international? I keep on reading posts about people having issues they wish to root the phone the safest way as I'm a beginner.

How does the reliability compare to something like CF-auto root?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ripee:
CF-auto root is outdated, and may or may not be stable with the most recent versions of some apps that require root.

Generally, in order to root, you need a custom recovery, of which TWRP is the most popular and versatile. This is true whether you want to root a stock rom or custom rom. My grandma has an I9195, and I wouldn't've developed TWRP for it, nor used it to root lineage-16.0 on her phone, if I had any doubts that she could still reliably keep in touch with the rest of my family. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Claudio4780:
I use the 3.3.1-0 on my GT-I9195 and just installed LineageOS 17.1 on it without any problems...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Anteries:
Thank you, very good of you to reply, that has put my mind at rest, I've been out the rooting game for years and have forgotten everything. I had forgotten what fun it is. my reason for Rooting, is to create a phone with all the distracting application stripped out, I would go for a simple phone but I need WhatsApp and messenger to stay in touch with my mum. Thank you for your great work.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Anteries:
hi, through Odin I've just launched the AP file and the phone appears to be stuck in downloading and it says do not turn off target. All software versions are correct.

I did turn off auto Reboot and auto time. I understand that I have to boot straight into recovery using volume up, home and power button and install supersu, rather than let the phone boot normally.

incidentally Odin does say pass with a pale green background. Thank you.

It's all fine now thanks, just restarted it cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ripee:
In the future, don't check off anything in Odin, just import the file and flash it. Let Odin do the rest. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Anteries:
Hi, thanks, I have had some interesting fun and games with the whole process.

Software used:

Odin3 v3.13.3

twrp-3.3.1-0-serranoltexx.img.tar for GT-I9595 LTE

SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip

lineage-17.1-20200203-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx

open_gapps-arm-10.0-pico-20200212.zip

This is what happened.

Flashed twrp successfully in Odin, phone did not reboot but then again I had turned reboot off some reason, thanks for saying leave it alone.

I had heard that it was a good idea to go straight into twrp recovery on first boot or the root might be reversed.

Successfully entered recovery, I installed Super SU-v 2.82 and it all seemed to go okay.

I rebooted my phone and it loaded touch wiz as normal. I downloaded root check and it said there were No root.

I entered recovery again I did a backup got a large file about 2.5 gig. I copy the file onto my computer.

I entered recovery again and I installed lineage 17.1 it all seemed to work successfully.

The phone started booting into lineage, it was taking a while said it was updating apps then the phone turned off and went into twrp by itself. When I started the phone it would get halfway into loaning lineage and then would reboot to recovery.

I reinstalled lineage and wiped the cashe and then it booted up beautifully and is working well.

I then installed G apps I use the wrong version to start with (64 bit) but that all installed well.

Everything is working great and I'm very happy but I installed Titania backup and I found that I still don't have root.

I did try to install Supers SU again but it said there was some sort of error.

I'm a bit confused, because how can it not be rooted if I've installed the new operating system.:silly:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ripee:
[MENTION=10529553]Anteries[/MENTION], SuperSU is old, use Magisk.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] bierma32:
[MENTION=10529553]Anteries[/MENTION]

A lot of mistakes.

1. Never use the newest Odin Version for an 7 years old Phone.

Use Odin 3.07 or 3.09

2. Important that you must unckeck Autoreboot and freset on Odin. After flashing you must reboot directly in the Recovery TWRP, if not it will by reboot into system install the Samsung Stock Recovery.

3. In the moment LOS 17 is not Root able. See the notications from arco68.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Anteries:
Thanks for what you said, by chance I did your advice about booting straight into twrp . Iinstalled supersu, the phone booted into touch wiz and found that I didn't have root I understand I should have used majic(forgot spelling).

I want to install a modern ROM that allows me root access, what you recommend?

I want a secure modern version of android but I wish to uninstall many of the apps I find distracting, to create a smart dumb phone. I also love the older phones as I feel they are looking after the planet. And they are to useless addictive to use, I have bad RSI from computer games

What about LOS16, still maintained by arco?

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-mini/orig-development/rom-lineageos-16-0-s4-mini-t3833063

SU is already integrated, all you need to do is enable it in developer settings.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] bierma32:
[MENTION=10529553]Anteries[/MENTION]

Try LOS 16 with Opengapps nano vor piko Version

After flashing the ROM and setup of them reboot into Recovery and install Magisk for Root .
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Anteries:
Thanks, I did that and Lineage 16 is absolutely amazing, a dream come true.

The last time I flashed a phone ROM was an HTC wildfire buzz about a years ago, It's been fun catching up with knowledge.

I am confused about the SU thing, I haven't noticed the SU is integrated anywhere in lineage 16.

I do have some questions about magisk, Is there a version which is best for the Samsung S4 mini and what is the purpose of magisk uninstaller, what is magiskSU, what is magisk manager for.

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

thank you, Lineage OS 16 absolutely fantastic, quick question is there a particular version of magisk that is best for this phone.also I hear reference to magiskS U, is that something different?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Arslan140:
I use magisk 19.2 because newer version are detect by my banking apps and magisk hide doesn't work against those apps So I stick with 19.2

But you can use latest

Magisk manager app is like superSu app which manage root permission to allow or deny what makes magisk different from SuperSu is module support and build-in hide root support also super su is not maintain anymore By flashing magisk uninstaller remove magisk from your device in case you want to unroot your phone

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

Los16 is still maintain check los16 thread February build is up

Su is not integrated in Los

you need to download su add-on
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] rho-bot:
Wrong, SU is still integrated in his builds, as confirmed by arco:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-min...-0-s4-mini-t3833063/post80885255#post80885255

Just Tap build number several times to get developer options. Enable root in developer options.

No need for other tools, this may even mess up your kernel.

Hallo, I´m afraid I arrived at a point where I could need some help with flashing TWRP and I think I should deliver some facts first!?

> It´s my first flash.

> Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, GT-l9195l, Android version 4.4.4, Developer options active, USB debugging active

> Laptop: WIN10 with adb fastboot active, Odin latest version, TWRP serranoltexx from this thread

Problem: everything seems to work flawlessly.

> Can boot into download mode.

> Device is being recognized by WIN10 and Odin.

> Odin displays zero problems (unfortunately can´t show a screenshot, since I´m new).

But:

> As soon as the device reboots and the screen gets black I simultaneously press Power, Home, Volume up until the boot screen appears.

> Either the device reboots into download mode or Android stock ROM starts.

I´m not sure what is happening. Am I too slow/fast/old...?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ripee:
I'm sorry to tell you but none of the 3 variants supported in this thread are yours, if you indeed have an GT-I9195I, which is not serranoltexx but serranoveltexx. It uses a completely different chipset (msm8916 versus msm8930 for the ones here). I have no idea if TWRP 3.3.1-0 is available for it.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] BlackMiracle:
Looks like the bundled male USB-C to female USB-A adapter's intended purpose is to help users transfer their data from old phone to new Pixel.

However, I have a Fiio Q1 Mark II DAC/AMP that has micro USB as input so I used the bundled USB-C to USB-A adapter to connect my Pixel 2 to this DAC but audio still comes out from the phone's speakers.

How can I output the audio through USB-C? In developer options, I select USB Configuration to "Audio Source" but nothing changed. Or I need to use a USB-C to micro USB cable?

To clarify things, here is my configurations: Pixel 2 <-> bundled USB-C to A adapter <-> normal micro USB cable <-> Fiio DAC <-> Headphones (3.5mm jack)

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Telperion:
You should be able to use the combined line-in/line-out port instead of the micro-USB, though this would require you to first use the bundled USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. This is problematic if you're not rooted since the Google DAC has terrible distortion, and can only be fixed with root. The setup would be:

Pixel 2 -> Google USB-C to 3.5mm DAC (digital gain <75%) -> 3.5 male to 3.5 male -> Fiio Q1 DAC using 3.5mm line-in -> Headphones

A USB-C to micro-USB cable may work.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] BlackMiracle:
Thanks for your reply.

I have finally made it work. USB-C peripherals must be connected in order. You need to power on the DAC first, connect the micro USB input then connect the USB-C to the Pixel last so the Pixel would recognize the device on the other end.

Another question raised. I have also tried connecting Fiio DAC to iPhone via micro USB to Lightning cable. It worked instantly. iPhone wouldn't let me adjust volume on the phone. Everything was handled by Fiio. Which I think is the correct way to do it since iPhone is just sending digital signal to the DAC and let it do all the work.

But with the Pixel, I'm still able to adjust volume on the phone. I wonder why the phone could do it since it should not do anything with the digital audio signal. I also would like to know how loud should I set the volume at phone and adjust the rest at the AMP.

Also, Pixel's battery is draining fast! Because USB-C supports charging connected devices. I'm not able to disable USB-C power output. The LED light on Fiio indicates that it's charging. The reason that I didn't want to use Google's USB-C to 3.5mm DAC is because the distortion issue. I believe Fiio DAC is much more powerful and audio quality is better.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Telperion:
Apple I believe uses a line level, the Pixel's is amplified so you can still control it on the phone.

I'd recommend hopping over the the Pixel 2 XL forum, there are technical details that might answer your question. Objective sound measurements.

Regarding the Google DAC, the distortion goes away below about 75% digital gain. In that chained setup, you'd be looking to send as pure a signal as possible with little to no digital gain to the Fiio, which would then cleanly amplify it for playback.

Allright Axon 7 owners, can anyone out there make a program file for a 3D printer for speaker grills for the Axon 7?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Do you have a 3D printer? I don't, but I guess you could make a very thin rough model with some educational version of solid edge or whatever, then print it and see if it fits, tune the shape slightly...

There's a full CAD of the phone but it costs some money, and nobody wants to spend it. I wouldn't because I don't have a 3d printer.

Someone made cases for the phone, so the grill would be much easier surely... Maybe you can make another design like maybe 3 slits or something?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kitcostantino:
no, i dont have one, but a close friend who lives 5 min from me does. i asked him if he could make some for me, and he said sure, if ya have the file to print. after i read this response, i searched around for the files, even for a paid version, a d found nothing. had kind of forgotten about it.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
If you won't try them then I'm pretty sure it'll go wrong. The only way to do this right is by getting one off and making the CAD, then make prototypes until they actually fit. A friend is going to buy a 3D printer later, so I might do the CAD of the grills and tell him to print me some

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

If you want to try I can make a model. but the curved parts will probably not be perfect. Just tell me which parts are wrong and I can fix them.

I'll be able to do that in about a week
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kitcostantino:
the grills are held on by double sided tape. the only difficult part is not heating up the tape too much before gently prying them off. if you do heat too much, the cloth that *should* remain over the speakers as a protector after the plastic grilles are removed. i used a hair dryer on med-low heat the second time and it worked far better. there are no clips or anything else holding them on, just tape.

Well whatever is is you do, and they look good count me in as a buyer lol
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] alvinlwh:
The key is just make them as blanks (ie without holes) and some wet-and-dry sand paper. Sand to fit, and then using the original as the template and a needle (tiny) drill, make the holes. You can even have your own holes design if you so desire.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
I will. Although I guess it is possible to print tiny recesses so that you don't need the original to make the holes

I had to make one of these tiny drills to make holes in PCB. Made one with a small 5v motor and a 1mm drill bit. Works like a charm! I guess you guys will need something similar to make the holes though
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
I had some free time, started doing a draft model. I assumed 0.8mm, but I'm not sure that's the number. If someone can print this for me, make a prototype, it'd be awesome. It's still flat but i only want to see if the width is right. plus i'd need someone to sand it until it sits flush to the top and sides and measure it with a caliper so that we don't need to make a second prototype.

The camera hole may be slightly off center but only by a tenth of a millimeter or so. still, check that out if possible.

If anyone agrees to print one i'll send it tomorrow or someday else. I hope that the educational version of solid edge lets me send it though, or i'll have to resort to other methods ?

p.s. the holes for the speakers seem to be 0.8mm in radius. i don't think that's possible to print with a 3d printer, but I'll make them as slight recesses to see how it looks.

p.p.s if you take the grill off, be REALLY careful with the camera lens! you may lose it like me, or smear it on the underside, or get stuff on the camera... just be careful.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] alvinlwh:
Think you can drill the camera hole too. If you are not too fussed, then I do not think the speaker holes must be the same size. If it must be, just try different sized needle drill bits in existing holes till the one cannot pass through. The size down from that one will be the right one.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
There's no need to drill it, I guess you can just print it with the hole and sand it if needed. and i've been thinking on making different designs, for example a slit on the grill in the middle (the problem would be the lower one since the speaker is on the right corner
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Okay, surfacing is done. I can either make the holes from here (I already did one with 0.8mm holes and it looks like the real deal) or just mark them, or maybe try another design? Please if anyone can print it just tell me what you want me to do to it and i'll send it with the design, or recesses for drilling, or whatever you want
