[Q] Regarding "[RECOVERY][ROOT] Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9195)" new Rootkit v2
Hi,
since there is the "you must be bigger than 10 posts to submit here" barrier in the original "[RECOVERY][ROOT] Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9195)" thread, I have to ask it here:
Arco updated the thread with a new rootkit version, that replaces some of the utilities. So can I now just flash that, although I used the version before?
Is there an easy to understand guide for all of this, that explains what can/should be updated when?
Like answers to the questions:
1. I rooted my device, can I just root it again with newer versions?
Not yet done, but probably coming soon:
2. I added a custom ROM, what do I need to do to go back to a backup of an old one?
3. I added a custom ROM, can I just flash a new version?
Sorry for asking this, but every time I flashed something (e.g. router, old phone) it would pretty much erase anything that was there before. So no problem with newer versions. Reading the instructions here always make me feel like it is a thing of putting together bits and pieces and if one is wrong you might brick it?!
Greetings
Chris
That was the purpose for the FAQ I posted earlier.
Regardless, your answer to 1 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44172232
#2 and #3, will have to wait for @arco68 to answer
Sorry for bumping or using a random topic, but I as well couldn't post on the original development thread because of the 10 post restriction. Sorry if I make a dumb question or anything, I'm quite desperate and have been reading tons of info and haven't been able to find a solution to my problem:
1) I installed Cyanogenmod 10.1 following their instructions, CWM was involved in there.
2) I tried rooting the gt-i9195L (the L stands for latin), I didn't do anything with Odin, only CWM and the samsung galaxy s4 mini rootkit v2, but I think I bricked my phone. After reboot, it just shows a black screen, button lights go on and off, and sometimes it shows a brown screen. Is there a way to undo this or any solution you consider appropriate for this?
Again, sorry for going off-topic in here, thanks in advance!

Black screen is probably because the kernel is not compatible with your device. Use S4Mini_RootKit_v1.zip instead for rooting. To fix the boot issue, you would either need to download stock rom from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and flash with Odin. Or get a copy of the boot partition from someone else with that device, and flash it in recovery.

I installed v1 as you suggested. There was no stock ROM for Mexico, but I tried Puerto Rico (which worked without problems) and then reinstalled CM10.1 without factory reset/wipe data. Everything was on place, and phone is now rooted Thanks a bunch!
Hi,
i just bought 2 Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 devices and i don't know where to start. The modell is SM-T210.
The 1st thing i wanna do is make a complete backup of the device so i can later always restore it back to
its original state before i start flashing different roms on it. Also i want to have a reset flash counter so
in case i need to return it one day.. please guide me to tutorials or files or something i am kinda lost.
thanks a lot

Hi everyone.
I rooted my tab s t700 wifi model and im pretty happy of the result.
The only problem is then I lost the screen mirroring on tv option.
When i do it,it connect and say than there is a problem with the hardware and it have to close ...
I heard about similar issue on the s4 by a friend. He unrooted to recover thwe option (he watch alot of movie)
Does there is a fix other than unroot to recover the screen mirrorring ?
thanx

Hi there Guys
I´m total new on Android.Have my SM-T520 since two Weeks know.My last Boyfriend teached me alot into
the Computer-things.BtW, if you think Im writing stupid ... im from Germany LoL ... My english has
rotten a little bit. So sorry ... have merci please with me.
So ... I was told: Every Computer online needs a Firewall.I searched for an APP for my new Tablet ...
... found one, but it want´s a root? Searched for ROOT and find:
androidpulp.blogspot.de/2014/03/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-pro-101
I did everything exactly written ... was very nervous " should I? Or better not? Uhhh ... This WARNINGS
My new sweet Tablet! But I did it !! and it WORKS !!! My biggest Computer-thing I ever done. :laugh: :good:
So, I put this CF-Auto-Root-picassowifi-picassowifixx-smt520.tar.md5 File onto my Tablet.The "Root-Test"
was the installing of the AFWall+ Friewall ... It works! Great ! I rooted my Tab! Alone by myself !!
Told everyone from my Adventure the next Days.
But, I brought the Tab for relaxed surfing on my Sofa? (Couch?) and or streaming Movies from Sites to my
Samsung Smart TV.This SCREEN MIRRORING thing.I tested it a little BEFORE my rooting.I worked great.Now
it breaks up with a "Hardware Error" in the end of the connecting process.
So, searched again for that and found out that this Error came from the Root ... from the "Root-Counter",
I think? Searched again ... TRIANGLE AWAY app was found and installed.When I press RESET FLASH COUNTER
the app told me its resseting.But the counter dont go to zero ?? The last message told me
"... make sure you dont running a custom kernel ?? or custom recovery ..." ??
The TRIANGLE AWAY Flash Counter Status show to me:
Cuurent status:
Counter 1
Binary Custom
Device SM-t520
System Offical
When I put my Tab in this Download Mode? It says "ODIN Mode" itself?
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-T520
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Offical
KNOX WARRENTY VOID: 1
AP SWREV: A1
I searched nearly a week ... landing a lot in this community here ... register on SAMMOBILE ...
thought that this File here is original:
sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=32752
Model: SM-T520
Model name: GALAXY TabPRO 10.1 Wi-Fi
Country: Germany
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 1977750
Build date: Tue, 24 Jun 2014 08:31:35 +0000
Product Code: DBT
PDA: T520XXUANF4
CSC: T520DBTANF1
MODEM: T520XXUANF4
But ... the File CF-Auto-Root-picassowifi ... was 21 MB big the File on SamMobile is 1,2 GB!! big.
I think I not right here.Im totaly confused now.Want to do this thing alone with no help from my Workmates.
It starts so good but now Im out of order.
ROM, Kernel, Firmware, Recovery ... all that I found with Google ?? I think I reached my Limit here.
SO, the Binary is the thing to do? Or ?? Is that a Kernel, ROM, Firmware or Recovery ??? This thing must be
original? Original to be able to reset the Counter to Zero and can do that SCREEN MIORRORING again?
My wish would be:
Keep the Root and the Firewall and also put the Counter to zero to be able to see the picture of my Tab on
my Samsung TV again.
PLEASE ... what kind of File do I need now?What I have to do with that?Is it possible to keep Firewall working
and ScreenMirroring?
Please does someone of you have a LINK that help me? What is a BINARY, please?
I THANK YOU all for reading my looong Story :good::good: Maybe someone knows what I have do do?
Greeting from Germany
Your Nina
too loong ? XD
Hmmmm .... to put it in short ...
Is it possible to have a rooted Tab AND use the
Samsung ScreenMirroring Funktion?
Please, how can I replace the custom BINARY with a stock Binary that
runs with my rooted system?
A Link or a good Searchword for Mrs.Google would help me so much.
Have a nice Evening

based on my experience with my other Smasung phones, yes it should work, as long as you are still running Stock firmware.

Thank you for your Answering
So,it may possible to keep root and firewall AND

My problem is, what file do i need for that?
LoL ... I dont know the exactly name of and sadly l cant find out what kind of File?
A kernel, a firmware, a recovery or a rom?
I need a binary right? Or not?
What is a binary ... a rom kernel firmware or recovery?
I searched for hours now but cound find a Answer. :crying:
So, you mean I need a Firmware?
Please, do you have a Link? For the file and a how to do,maybe?
The Data is posted in my looong Story in my first post.
It starts so well and ended in a mission impossible for me now.
I thought someone here did it before with a sm-t520 10.0 pro tab.
Maybe ??

1. Unfortunately, the Knox counter cannot be reset at this time.
2. If you have not installed any recovery, or other ROMs, Kernel, then you are running STOCK firmware.
3. Have you tried to reset your device and see if mirroring works? This is what I did with my S4 before and it worked, but I don't really know with the Tab pro because i have not rooted it as I want to use Knox.
4. If after you have reset your device, and screen mirroring does not work, try to download a STOCk firmware from www.samfirmware.com or www.samsung-updates.com and flash it to your device using ODIN - this is run on your COMPUTER with your Tab pro connected via USB cable. This will UNROOT your device. Then try to use screen mirroring again and see if it works. If screen mirroring works, then it means you can't root your devic if you want to use screen mirroring.
5. There are free firewalls on google play, but I have not used any of them so i cannot comment which one is the best.
I suggest before you make changes to your Tab Pro from now on, go and read more about rooting, flashing ROMs, flashing RECOVERY... it is best NOT to RUSH what you want to do as an ERROR on your part might cause more problems.
a lot of THANKS

Thank you !
I will test that RESET with TriangleAway and then test ScreenMirroring this afternoon. Nice Idea :good: Hope it works.
I only put CF-Auto-Root-picassowifi-picassowifixx-smt520.tar.md5 one Time to my Tablet and it was the only
thing I put on with Odin.
My Problem with this Firmware-Download-Sites samfirmwar is, that my File:
Model: SM-T520 PDA: T520XXUANF4
(I cant put a Link in my Postings)
is too big!! It´s 1,2GB big and the File i did (CF-Auto-Root-picassowifi-picassowifixx-smt520.tar.md5) is only
21MB.Could that be right?? My only nonStock-File on my Tab is the BINARY, as TriangleAway and
the Download Page said.
I read a lot last two weeks ... i looked for me like theres no solution at that Time.
Couldn't find a Posting like "rooted SM-T520 WITH SreenMirroring"
Maybe my Tab its to new? Read from Lib-Files that must be changed but not for the SM-T520.
Thanks for your help !! I will test your Point 3 a little later. Hope ...
Have a nice Day

Chainfire doesn't flash a new system. It replaces your recovery, then adds some files to root your existing /system, and then replaces your recovery with a stock version (which may be different than the stock version your started with, but is a Samsung recovery at least).
That's why it is so much smaller.
I'm guessing here because I have not entirely figured out what Samsung has done with their Digital Rights Management stack. But, screen mirroring may have issues because it may require DRM keys (probably hdcp keys) and by tripping Knox it may be going from DRM level 1 for which it has keys to DRM level 3 for which the device may not have usable keys.
I agree with the recommendation to try using Odin to undo everything except tripping the Knox counter. That's your best shot.

Sounds like you are much into it.
But I understand nearly half what you write about DRM and so. But THANKS for your Time.
Because of you I know now why it is so big.
I started the 1.2GB Download at the End of my last Posting ... still 6 hours left :silly: to finish. 30kb sec
So, when Download is ready and I put it with Odin on my Pad ... is the complete System new then?
The Binary is then Stock or offical and I can put the Counter with TriangleAway to zero?
Read this morning that this wont go because its now Hardware based. a fuse or so.
So I do the big File on my Pad to get the complete stock System back and the ScreenMirroring option running?
Sorry for my stupid ... I read really a lot ... but its also a lot of "ways" and "to do" written out there.
The Test resetting with TriangleAway and test the ScreenMirroring didn't worked here.
The Pad is scanning long Time but couldn't find the TV.Yes ... it´s in the allowed List in Menu.
Did the same as before the root.But the Idea was good.
In all the "how to root" Sites in the Internet should written that some functions wound´t work after root as Warning ... ... maybe ... special for rooters like me
I read we can unroot the Pad with SU.Looked in the Menu ... there´s really a Point called unroot.
But that wound´t bring ScreenMirroring back or? Sounds to easy, or?
So, see you next Time
Bye for now your Nina

totally agree
i think our german girl must have stuffed something up during flashing
flash back it to the original stock rom using odin and keep it as unrooted. my wife has an unrooted p600 and to honest, i cant see any point to root her device at all. based on what she or probably this girl wants to use it for.
I flashed TWRP with odin.
After that I was not able to boot or start recovery.
Only download mode is possible.
In download mode it shows
warranty void 1 (0x030c)
I also cannot flash anything in odin anymore.
After initializing, it immidiatly stops with the error:
<ID:0/004> FAIL! (DeviceInfo)
Can anybody help me, how to get this beautiful phone running again?
Thanks so much!

try to download the firmware from http://samfirm.net/threads/official-rom-full-galaxy-note-7-sm-n930f-n930fxxu1apg7-xxv-23-07-2016.98/ and try to flash via odin.
Never ever try to flash anything till the time there is no evidence of success.
I tried that, but the problem is that I always get this error in Odin when trying to flash...
Did you check OEM unlock before you flash as per the instructions? not doing so will result in a boot loop.
Try different cable and USB port. I had trouble with both that had me running in circles.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
Yes, I did OEM unlock before the flash.
Different cable and USB port makes no difference...
Usually when I have issues I try to uninstall all drivers related to phones and only install the one I need. Then after a restart and forcing the phone into Odin I'm able to flash without issues.
It might be failing because of a Partition size error. Have you tried the Samfirm Tool to download a firmware from your region?
Have you tried Emergency Device Recovery from SmartSwitch PC ?
Also, I'm doubtful whether this is a new trick up from Samsung's sleeve. This Phone is still new, so it's quite a learning process. Maybe Samsung has implemented something to block these unofficial flash attempts. However I thank you taking the risk and trying the recovery first.
Can you help me, where I can get this?

I really have no luck here...
Any idea?
Googled already, but did not really find anything besides reinstalling...
I dont think theres a fix for this issue yet. There's also no subtantiated literature in the larger cummunity pertaining to rooting the Note 7.
I am guessing this is an additional precaution taken by Samsung therefore the rooting process needs a very specific set of steps in order to circumnavigate the systems Sammy has put in place. The thread itself says WIP, so I applaud you for your courage.
Nonetheless my suggestion is to instead of waiting for an answer which no one can provide, go to Sammy and bull**** to them that u plugged in the computer and it became a brick.
Theres is no possible senario whereby the internet can help you because we know next to nothing about Note 7.
I sincerely hope that you can come out of the situation with a working Note 7 in your hands whilst not burning a hole in your wallet due to the repairs. God-speed my friend, God-speed.

This seems to be an issue in your drivers, Please uninstall all samsung related and flash box related (if exists) in your PC and try installing it again.
Alternatively, you can just walk into a Samsung Care store and get it done while you wait.
I did that already... No luck. I will try on a different pm next.
Bill sad to see this happened to you
I am exactly coming for the same forum and was following the same steps thought u were, but u took one more step forward and flashed the vitanamese firmware, your phone just messed up there. Was actually about to do the same thing but then read your comments. My phone starts but with errors and has battery drainage , i havent lost anything as it is still virgin and havent transfered anything to it yet. Will wait probably 4 to 5 days more for the official firmwares to release and fire it in.
Sorry to say but u had become the test subject...

The recovery mode cannot be accessed, no matter how hard you try

I just was in the Samsung Care Center in Singapore with my bricked phone.
After 1 hour waiting time, a Samsung guy explained me, that they cannot do anything about it, because they don't have parts ? for this phone in Singapore because it was not launched yet and also there is no international warranty on it.
He had no idea about any software recovery or anything and suggested to get back to Dubai, where I got the phone from.
Really a bad Customerservice experience.
I also want to thank all of you for your great help and suggestions!
I think I will send the phone back to the store in Dubai now.
Well tht will be a good choice
But if u give it three more days and wait for the official firmwares to release would save you some time.
I am still following up with it.

I really doubt, that this will help, since I cannot flash anything in odin. After initialization I always get the error "FAIL (DeviceInfo)"

Same here in (Dubai) Mate, They don't even have the parts, or Tools to open the device up. If you remember me, I screwed up my Note 7 a week back, Just after two days from launch, and I still didn't receive it. They are still unable to sort it out.
I'm sure when a proper firmware for XSG (Dubai - Same as your device) and a proper ODIN is released to flash the Note 7, this will be a piece of a cake. Just hope for the best, As just like you - I too took a leap of faith and did something stupid.
Anyway, Wishing you luck !
I am not sure if this will help....
What happens when you try a older version of Odin?
