In my country S4 i9192 Galaxy mini are getting the updates for OS Version: Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Only I am not able to update because I put root. When I try to update it gives the following message: "Your device is modified, software updates are not available."
*** I tried to reset the app Triangle Away v3.26 but it says that is already with 0 Counter. Only restored the factory. Anyone have an idea on what I can do to upgrade to 4.4.2 ???
* Sorry for the confusing English, I'm learning right now.
I await answers. Thank you.
If you unroot your phone, you'll be able to update ota. If not, try flashing with odin.
yeahhh baby.

But your software is not rooted anymore. Your super su won't work untill you root your phone again.

Hi guys I have some questions about the new Firmware and KitKat in general and you may have answers I'll try to update first post with your answers!
-Will I loose root when I flash through Odin? --> Yes
-Is the new firmware rootable, or is there a way to keep root when I upgrade from rooted 4.3?
-->For upgrade yes: If you are rooted on 4.3 you can restore root by flashing a custom recovery and flash superSU manually.
-->chainfire autoroot works but you need to update the superSU app through play store after flashing.
-Will KitKat restrict access to my SD card? -->Yes but fixable through an app or editing a file (needs root), there is already a thread about that.
-Can I still use flash with KitKat? How?
-->Yes, there is a hacked version see 2nd post for link.
-How is the touchscreen driver? Is the stuttering fixed? Do touch and hold actions still drop after ~23sec?
-->Pretty much fixed. To about the same state as the improved Kernel we had a while ago.
-Are there any apps that are not working (root apps too)?
-Gesture Controls? --> works
-Xposed framework app settings? -->works
-Is Hancom Office included or does it still work? --> not included but does still work.
Thats about what I can think of a the moment.
Hi,
If you are already rooted then all you have to do is re install TWRP and then flash SU zip then you have root.
For flash player, download hacked version here, it works I tested it on new software :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/go...e-how-to-play-flash-video-android-4-t2548001
Also, xposed works. Tested it on new software

Chainfire's Auto Root does work, once you flash it thru odin and reboot, go to the Play store and update the app.
- Please update OP
Here's a question: I'm already rooted. Is flashing the stock KitKat image via Odin and rerooting the only way to upgrade?

If you are already rooted, I assume you have TWRP too. Just download this KitKat rom, full wipe and install.

Not for me I flashed a stock 4.4 kit kat on my tablet coming from root 4.3. I then flashed chainfire autoroot thru odin on the 4.4 and the superuser there only problem is it displays this ' There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install this is a problem! I formatted my 4.3 before flashing it maybe thats why?

Not sure... I installed KK on the tablet via Odin, then rebooted and setup, then rebooted into download mode and flashed auto root thru Odin.
Upon reboot I got an error selecting SuperSU, but once I updated it thru the Play Store its been fine.
Using ES Explorer I removed the items I don't need and removed all of the Knox stuff.
There are a few of us this worked for so I don't know what went wrong for you.
If you don't succeed then try again, and again, and again....Good luck.

Thx for the response from what i can see you never fully wipe your data before installing 4.4 KK but i did so i believe i lost my root like that. So when i updated the supersu never carried over from 4.3

Both ways work equally well I was already rooted with 4.3 but either way has been confirmed working so it doesn't matter.

Hello,
I have a G2 Running Stock LS980ZVA Kernel Version 3.4.0. Now I rooted the stock ROM and now got a notification to update the ROM to ZVC.
Now my dilemma is do I "Restart and Install" this update or not. Will this brick my phone?
I have TWRP running as the custom recovery. What should I be doing? I tried to search for a similar thread but couldn't find one.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you!
You will brick. Either hold your finger on the notification and then click app data. Click on the show notification. No check mark. Notification will go away.
Regular reboot will not install the update.
If you unroot and put regular recovery back. Then you could.

okay, i did some research and found that it is safe to install OTAs but if youre rooted youll lose the root and unlock will still stay.
best imo, is you upgrade to 4.4.2 and root again with custom recovery and install a nice ROM.

Hello guys,

I downloaded but when the phone rebooted and started to install this it stack at 25% and error screen appeard. So I tried to install this from kies but kies says that I'm up to date. What's the problem? I have Belgian official firmware 4.4.2 kitkat rooted with xposed installed.

I had the 'modified operating system' thing too.But i installed wanam xsposed and it has an option to check for 'fake' status.Now its official and i can get the updates.But the problem is that the update stops at 25%.Maybe it searching for an app that i deleted?Because i have deleted all the bloatware of samsung.Somenone can help?
EDIT:Kies today found the update.But the file is not 107mb like OTA is 800+.Why?
So my question now is if i do the update(via Kies3-the 800mb file) i will lose root?
So i did the update with kies.My data was not erased but i lost root.Now towerlroor say device currently not supported.So now how to root my s4 mini without tripping the knox bit?

There is work around for that. First you must flash stock kernel from older kitkat firmwares like XXUCNF7 or CNE6 or CNH5.
This does not trip knox as you are flashing official kernel. Then you can use towelroot on the old kernel and after rooting and installing supersu , you can flash the new kernel. There is a thread in one of the sections that has stock kernel files for I9195. download one kernel and flash using odin. Good luck

5.1.1 is rootable now however i would hold out till TWRP is made for 5.1.1 if not rooting is currently pointless since you wont have a recovery

Use ODIN and the OH1 TAR file from SAMMOBILE. That will bring you up to the most recent stock and baseband. Then Unikernel and TWRP and flash the ROM.

Brother for OTA Upgrade you must have
your device all official software, if you root
or flash twrp your device goes to custom
So you can't get any further OTA update/upgrade
Other thing, your device software must have
of your country to get updates.
So if you want OTA updates
1. download own country stock rom from www.samfirmware.com
2. Flash rom with odin
3. Don't flash other unofficial softwares
4. Check OTA updates you must get
5. Done
I've already done it once, and didn't work, maybe it's because my binary is "custom"
I need to restart it, like with no modifications, but the binary I don't know how to restart.
Can you help me? Or I need to flash stock again?
And another question, if nothing works, I can just download the future 6.0 stock and flash with odin? Or it means problems?

First, if your device have custom binary
You need to hard reset your device by
1. Power off device
2. Go to recovery mode by Pressing power+volume up+home buttons at once
3. Clear partition cache
4. Format factory data
5. Restart
6. done
If still there custom binary appear then reflash
Official rom.
Second, you can download android 6.0
and flash anytime there is no problems

Friend after root you couldn't get OTA update but
Don't worry you can upgrade your device from
www.samfirmware.com
Can you tell me, from which method you rooted your device?
I used the odin tool to root, but is it possible to update my phone using smart switch? Because downloading firmware and all seems too complicated
