The I435 is not the same as the I919x phones. Since it's verizon, it uses CDMA technology rather than GSM. I think it may work with GSM carriers outside of the US but I'm not sure.
Since the phone hardware is different than the I9195 I dont think flashing that firmware would be a good idea.
I'm not sure about the other questions. The phone may be able to be unlocked but I haven't seen any info on that.

Apparently the only way to root the SCH-I435 is using kingo which is apparently sending the imei of the phone to China. They released a new version that's supposed to not do anything sketchy, but I have yet to see any threads with confirmation. Best bet is to wait it out until other methods are ready...

I rooted my SCH-I435 with the new version of kingo. I monitored the traffic for a while and have yet to have any issues with it. Seems to be working well.

Depending on your baseband you can root using the this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
You must be on baseband MK5 for it to work.

Just a heads up, I rooted with geohots towelroot (xda thread , towelroot homepage). It was quick, very easy and doesn't trip knox.
Edit: Oh and I was on kitkat 4.4.2, verizon s4 mini (sch-i435).

But what about the bootloader? Has it ever been unlocked? I need to install CWM and CyanogenMod on the S4 Mini.
Or can it just be rooted, and not bootloader unlocked?

sorry for another question, but do any of the TWRP recoveries for the other variants of the GS4mini work on the i435?

I do know out of Experience that the CWM recovery for the serranoltexx should work on most i435 variants. how ever before you try it please make sure that the phone is a serranoltexx varient such as the i435l or such.

So, does "serranoltevzw" work? And If so, how do you recommend going about installing it? (last I did much with rooting and such was back in 2010 ish, and am out of touch as to what to use)

I'd be interested to know if anyone had gotten this to work as well as I too would love to get mine rooted. I'm not hopeful though as I haven't found anything online and Verizon really locked this phone down. The only other Android device I have is a Nexus 10, so rooting that was a piece of cake!

[Q] Advice: 4.3 v 4.4 - Root Odin3

Hello! I received a replacement for a TMO Samsung Galaxy S3 for a S3 LTE (. It did an auto upgrade to 4.3. Because that v is a POS I rooted 4.3 with Odin3 (v3.09) and root66 tar. NOW I find out that there is an upgrade to 4.4 for the S3 LTE (or all S3s I assume) and I am in a dilemma if I should back out of root; how difficult would that be; allow the 4.4 upgrade; and then re-root?
Give me your thoughts, advice, emoji and pats on my girlie head.

You now have an s3 LTE, aka sgh-i747?
I recommend getting back to stock and upgrade to 4.4.2 via ota updates. This is the slowest but safest method to install the updated boot loader and modem.
Once you are fully updated, you can flash a custom recovery and root by flashing supersu in recovery. Flashing a custom recovery will trip Knox and set the warranty bit to 1 and this will void your Samsung warranty.

Crap. I am lost. Newb Jr.
First, I have attached the image from About to verify the stats.
Second, can you tell me what your recommendation is to back out of root (having used Odin3 + root66 tar to stock?
I am hoping that once I return to stock, upgrade, I will root again using the same method. Let me know if that all makes sense.

sorry, double post. Don't see how I can delete the one without the quote.

Sorry, I re-read your post. You used to have an LTE s3 (sgh-i747) and now have an T999. I guess I was too tired when I read your post.
I'm not sure that there is anything beyond 4.3 for the T999. The latest for the s3 LTE is 4.4.2.
Even T-Mbile's Note 2 is stuck on 4.3 while other Note 2 carriers have moved to 4.4.2.

My current device is the LTE that replaced the S3 (not LTE). The (HUGE, sorry) image of the About is my current device.

I believe all s3s carried by T-Mobile, AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Videotron, etc. are LTE-capable.
If your phone is the T-mobile version of the s3, I don't think there is a 4.4.2 update or stock ROM for the phone.

My carrier is TMO - there is the S3 T999 (not LTE capable) and there is an S3 T999L (LTE). I updated to Jelly Bean / 4.3, then rooted with Odin (mainly to manage bloatware, pre-installed, etc.) So if I understand you correctly, you do not believe that Kit Kat is even available for the S3 T999L? I checked for a software update through the device and received the message that "since my phone had been altered, the software update will not install." Understand why I would receive that message, however, I made the assumption that 4.4 must be the update. If so, I would back out of root, upgrade to 4.4 - re-root.
If you are saying that 4.4 is NOT available for my phone, then I will keep my device rooted over 4.3

This is the latest firmware for your phone from sammobile.com: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/35794/T999LUVUBNF4_T999LTMBBNF4_TMB/
It was released in June 2014. The mk4 firmware on your phone was released in December 2013.
If you think there is a Kit Kat update, you could use Odin to flash back to stock mk4 firmware and run the OTA updates which should take you to at least NF4 firmware.

Thanks, @audit13!

Stock Rom Stripped of Bloatware from Samsung Repair Center

I recently got my S6 back from Samsung. They untripped knox, and installed a very slim rom without any of the sprint bloatware, and no sprint splash screen. Is there some way I can back up this rom to be able to flash it in odin if/when I need to?
Thanks!

You can back up everything if you flash TWRP recovery and select the backup option it comes in hand but other than that i dont believe you can do it without tripping Knox again

Thanks for the reply, that's unfortunate news. I really don't feel like tripping Knox since I would like samsung pay to continue working.

You can try ADB Backup. A good set of instructions can be found at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351
No guarantee that this will work, but it should not trip Knox.

Please post a system dump of this b3fore you do anything. PLEASE

Is it oi1 build ? Ive sent plenty phones back for warranty and samsung never did that before . Trip knox , so what? Samsung warrantys phones like that all the time . Just tell them you took it to the samsung experience shop at "BestBuy" and they tried to flash the operating system to get the phone working properly again. Id tell them it kept rebooting after you updated it through wifi to 5.1.1 . Youll never have an issue with them if you explain it to them that way . Give us a new build lol

Galaxy S6 edge+ Software Update!

Finally!!! I've been checking for updates multiple times a day every day for the past 2 weeks in hope to get a new OS upgrade that may solve the issue of random freezing of the phone when trying to unlock it.
Just received a 144 MB OS update for my unlocked international S6 edge+ 64GB 928C phone
Changelog:
- The stability of call has been improved
- Battery Usage Optimization
- The security of your device has been improved
- After updating, you will not be able to downgrade to the old software because of updates to the security policy
Edit: New update is out with more stability improvements and better battery performance - AOJ6:

First impression, the device is notably much snappier!!! that's a good sign

I don't think it blocks. Just you will trigger knox counter if you flash something.

@pokosik Exactly! I'm unable to flash custom recovery or downgrade to the previous build now. Both USB debugging and OEM unlock were on when I tried flashing Phil recovery via odin. Prior to the OTA update I had custom recovery and kernel. Can you please help me out?

Can I flash this via Odin if.my original Rom is ilo (Israel) or must I be with a Singapore device?

I've been running it for a couple of hours now and I can't see much difference but the battery life may be a little better, but only time will tell.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

can you tell me if this update has fix the auto brightness bug.

g928F no software update here.

First thing I noticed is that now the battery drain on standby is fixed! Usually my battery life would drain from 100% to 70% in 2 hours even if I don't touch the phone! Now I went to the Gym and the battery life was 100%, finished the Gym after 2 hours and the battery life is still 97%!! This is how this phone should be.
Didn't experience the freezing bug so far but I guess this is too soon to judge yet as I had just done a factory reset after the firmware update just to ensure everything is 100% right.

This software update is obviously not for European handsets or am i missing something?

Can anyone confirm they were able to root in the new software?

Nothing will restore the trip, when it tripped it is actually physical damage being done to the phone.

Are you serious? How does that work?

When you trip the Knox void counter actual damage is occuring. What happens is a tiny pathway is physically burned into halves and is no longer making a completed circuit, thus throwing a flag or tripping the KNOX. It would theoretically be possible to repair the damage and restore the counter back to zero. Given a very skilled and educated person.

im pretty sure knox is just an efuse, not an actual fuse. samsung is able to reset it but havent released the required codes for others to.
