WARNING! ONLY USE THIS ON THE GT-I9192 MODEL!
Hello all S4 Mini owners!
I'm happy to finally release ClockworkMod recovery and an insecure kernel for the GT-I9192. With these two installed on your device, obtaining root is easy.
Attached to this post is the necessary files needed for this task. Download the following files:
Odin_v3.09.zip (if you don't have it already)
recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.0-serranodsdd.tar.zip
S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip (contains SuperSU v1.89 and BusyBox v1.21.1)
Extract recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.0-serranodsdd.tar.zip file to your computer.
The procedure is as:
Copy the "S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip" to your device SD card.
Turn off the phone.
Press and hold home, volume down and power. Download screen should appear.
Connect USB cable, and press volume up.
Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time", and then click AP button.
Select "recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.0-serranodsdd.tar.md5" file that you previously extracted, and press Start button. The phone will reboot when finished.
After the phone resets (it vibrates) IMMEDIATELY hold volume up and home buttons to boot into recovery mode.
Select the option to install the ZIP file you have previously copied to your device and begin flashing it.
After flashing using CWM, reboot into system and enjoy your rooted device.
To get rid of the the warnings about applications doing not permitted actions, delete the following files from system/app, or let SuperSU fix it for you.
KNOXAgent.apk
KNOXStore.apk
ContainerAgent.apk

how does the rootkit kernel show up in settings? mine looks the same as it was before
Can I root only GT-I9192?
Dear Sir,
Thanks a lot for your effort, I'm not professional in android or programming so please help me and explain in details how can I root my phone without installing AOSP or CWM. My devise is S4 mini GT-I9192 build no. I9192XXUBNB1 with Kernel V 3.4 and Knox V 1.0
I want to keep stock room of Samsung.
Something else, the speed and performance of my phone will be effected because of rooting to be less than before?
Thanks a lot
Hello, will this work on my S4 mini I9192 4.2.2?
internal storage /storage/sdcard0 became read only after root on I9192XXUBNB1
well i rooted the device using this method and the phone is rooted and everything is fine but now the problem is that the internal storage /storage/sdcard0 is read only.
so most of the the applications dont work because they cant write anything to internal storage (viber cant send any image for example).
and when i try create a folder or delete a file using ES explorer , it fails.
but the strange thing is that the Photo app can store photos on the internal storage.
my phone is I9192XXUBNB1
so any help on this issue?
thanks
thanks guys
Well, I decided to go hell with it :3
I tripped KNOX. So what?. My phone was an Saudi Arabian version GT-I9192. I was not going to get that warranty anyways :/ . so, I rooted. And as for official updates, I installed Xposed framework and then installed wanam xposed and changed the device status to official. Updates are working again (I think. as it does not show the device modified error). Can anybody confirm this?
Also, I debloated my stock ROM and I've been testing my battery life for four days, I've found out that, I can go 3 and a half days with out charging!!! That's great Cz I had about one day battery life before with Wi-Fi on 24/7 and power saving turned off. Also lots and lots of Phone calls and texts.
Thanks guys for your help and support.

[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!
Hello,
I am new to rooting of Android and I needed some advice on how to remove superuser from the system app and su from xbin.
I have a GT-N5120 on ver. 4.1.2, and I rooted it using Flamaroot. It was working fine and when ver. 4.2.2 was available I forgot to unroot my tablet and went ahead with the software update. After the update, my tablet became unrooted and I am stuck with the superuser and su file.
Tried to use flamaroot again to root the tablet but it doesn't display the same options during the first rooting, thus unable to root it. Uninstalled superuser app but file is still inside the system folder. Tried deleting the files but message shows files cannot be deleted.
How can I recover to stock version Currently tablet is showing ver. 4.2.2, Kernel version : 3.0.31-1210063, [email protected] #1.
Desperately needed help because S-pen could not detect some of the alphabets in the keyboard and wanted to send back to Samsung for repair.
Thanks in advance.
Unrooting
First, Framaroot doesn't work on 4.2.2, Samsung patched those exploits.
1) Root by CF-Auto-Root. It will install SuperSU, which is better than Superuser, IMO.
2) Reset the flash counter by Triangle Away. Otherwise Samsung will not allow you to claim the warranty.
3) Boot to the system (I assume you are on stock kernel and recovery). Fully unroot using the option in the SuperSU.
4) Go to the recovery (first Power off, and then press Vol Up + Power, release the buttons when the boot screen appear). Do a full wipe (factory & cache). Power off.
5) Go to download mode and check whether the counter reset to "0", and also system status as "official".
6) Now flash the latest firmware. Device is ready to claim warranty.
After these, check whether the S-Pen issue solved or not.
Thank you AkiOrpheus.
I will run through the links to try to understand the process on the steps you have given.
Will probably need more help to understand some of the details later and will post those questions as needed.
Thanks again.
Hi Aki,
I followed the instructions and went through the CF-Auto-Root (steps very clearly explained by Chainfire) and now my GT-N5120 is rooted and also apparently, the S-pen problem is also resolved.
Looks like I do not have to sent in to Samsung for warranty claim for now. I also did not do the Triangle Away and left my Note 8 rooted. :laugh::angel::good:
Thank you again Aki and Chainfire. You guys are great!!!!!
Good news
Good to hear problem solved. Yes, it's better to use Triangle Away only when going to pay a visit to Samsung service. Can you kindly add "[SOLVED]" before the thread title?
BTW, when come to Android Chainfire is far great
[Solved] GT-N5120 Removal of Superuser and SU from Unrooted Tablet
Problem solved.
"thread title" not the "post title"
Oh no! What I meant was like this, add "[SOLVED]" in front of the thread title not the post title. That way it's easy when someone with the similar problem searched for a solution.
Ok either I'm just plain stupid, or somethings wrong. Every link I try to get TWRP Recovery for my Tab 3 8.0 just gives me a damn img file that I can do nothing with. Can't mount it, can't burn it, and I'm certainly not finding the TWRP file. My Tab is saying no OS in TWRP so I'm trying to recover it, but I can't find the damn correct file :/
Thanks for any help
Listen @meffie you record shows you are an old user 2009, but This is your 1rst Post!!! So I have no Idea what knowledge you really have.
So you could be playing st2p1d for us. Or you in fact need a lot to read. So read, read a little more and if you have more time read what left.
First I do not understand why you are saying "My Tab is saying no OS in TWRP so I'm trying to recover it"!!!
I am juts going to clarify a few things.
There is a goo reading trad for you to try it. But understand that You and only you decide what thread to follow. It is all at your own risk.
Let's amuse you follow this one:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 > Galaxy Tab 3 General > Root the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and Install Custom Recovery =>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525630
You may find there that you download "TWRP_T31x_r3.tar"
A "*.tar" type of recovery can be use by Odin, but it is more common to see a "*.tar.md5" The difference is that the one with "*.tar.md5" is more safe to use because it has a MD5 hash that is use by Odin to certify that the file is not corrupt before installing it.
If you follow the tread you are ask to:
Code:
1. Extract Odin307.zip to a folder on your desktop.
2. Copy TWRP_T31x_r3.tar to the extracted Odin307 folder.
So it tell you just to place "TWRP_T31x_r3.tar" in the same folder where you Extracted Odin. Yes the "TWRP_T31x_r3.tar" intact. No extraction needed.
Clearly you misunderstood and did in fact extracted "TWRP_T31x_r3.tar". And yes in fact you found your self a "recovery.img".
Using Odin is a Very Dangerous thing you can screw you device if you do something wromg. My best sugetion is for you to read more.
Now in the same general forum you may find:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 > Galaxy Tab 3 General > [VIDEOS] Galaxy Tab 3 7in How to root, recovery, roms, & Kitkat =>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459817
Yes this tread is not for you device, but it can give you a good Idea. In particular see: "TWRP INSTALL PLUS ROOT"
I have not seen that video nor I have a TAB3 7" nor 8" mine is 10". But I bet it pretty similar process. I do not know what the video shows but you could take my advice . DO NOT mark "Re-Partition" you will brick your device. In Options I suggest you let mark ONLY "F.Reset Time". As you see NO "Auto Reboot" neither. This will prevent you device from booting after it finish. So when are you going to know it as finished. Well you will see in Odin say "Recovery" while installing and after it finish it will change to a Blue "Reset". It is at this time that your are going to press [Power]+[Volume Up]+[Menu]. And TWTP will show in your screen.
Good Luck. DO not forget to READ.

No indeed I haven't posted. I just try and read. As I'm not heavily into rooting and moding, I have little to say, as such I don't feel the need to post.
I am legit in my question, and maybe I just need to be a little clearer.
I rooted the tab and have had it rooted for a while now. When I originally rooted it, I didn't realize I would've ever be able to update it again, so after the new kitkat updates came out and I couldn't update it, I decided I would unroot it and go back to stock.
That being said, like an idiot, instead of reading about unrooting first, I went into TWRP and wiped it, thinking that would restore the device. After I wiped it, it booted back into TWRP and now says "No OS installed".
I of course came back to the forum and started reading the recovery thread, although you did answer my question. I did not realize Odin reads the tar, instead of the imagine inside, so that's where my confusion came from. Now that I know I just need to give Odin the tar I will proceed and hope the I can get my tab restored. If I can't return to stock, hopefully I can just reflash a new rom. I'd hate to think my actions bricked it.
That being said, I appreciate you answering my question and not just assuming I'm trolling because I don't post.
I'll let you know how it goes, thanks!
So I was able to load the TWRP recovery through Odin, reboot back into TWRP and it is still telling me no OS installed. I'm not quite sure where to go from here. All the threads Im finding are about rooting and recovering, nothing really says anything about No OS installed. Any additional help would be appreciated.
I have included a screen cap for reference.
Thanks
When you wiped everything you deleted the OS. You will need to download a ROM or flash a stock through ODIN
Sent from my ATRIX HD using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks for the Picture, I never seen that before.
*bmatney is right, the safe way to proceed is to "download a ROM or flash a stock through ODIN". This will require to download the 1.5G Stock Recovery. Listen I strongly suggest to download the Old 4.2.2 Stock Not the KK-4.4.2 one! The new one comes with new bootloaders.
*Not many people agree with me, but this bootloaders could be dangerous. Or ask the few Samsung SG4 users that got Stock with Lock booloaders!! Beware, make your own decision.
*Now I never seen this "No OS installed". My best guess is that TWRP should still allow you to place a copy of your old "Rom.zip" (the one you where using and should have available) inside the external sdcard and install zip from external sdcard. Do not forget to wipe cache and dalvik before installing.
*This is important, the original problem "after the new kitkat updates came out and I couldn't update it". I bet you you are a P5210 Wifi owner, And you had previously install old TWRP that all of us used. The problem is that that TWRP was build to be use in a P5200-3G model. So when in Recovery the Tab think it is a P5200 and do not allow you to install a P5210 Rom!!! The solution is to install new version from :
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 > Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development > [Recovery] Philz Adv CWM 6.55.0 - CWM 6.0.5.0 - TWRP v2.7.1.0 - AROMAFM GT-P5210 => http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ockworkmod-recovery-6-0-5-0-gt-p5210-t2830871
But please do that Recovery change after you have repair and have a valid OS. Do not put you self in a position where you have no OS and no Recovery!! First install a Rom.
Good Luck
I got the stock 4.4.2 flashed, it's working again. Thanks so much for the help guys, I greatly appreciate it.

I rooted my phone (stock 4.2.2 ROM) about a year ago with this method. I'd like to update to 4.4.4 - what is the correct way to go about it since OTA won't work? My phone isn't carrier locked. Can I just flash any stock 4.4.4 ROM and apply this same procedure and be done with it?
man after it rebooted automatically i wasnt fast enough to press up volume button and home button and it reeboted normally,what can i do now?
Hello,
thank you so much.
I have now root and recovery with my stock rom.
But no USB Storage...!
Hope there comes a fix

The sprint variant is a CDMA phone, so the GT-I9195 (GSM) ROM will not fully work. You might try this instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2669991
It doesn't seem to be kept updated anymore though.

CWM 6.0.5.1 for Galaxy S4 Mini LTE
Hi all
1st time posting on xda since I had my old XDA Mini!!! (though not the 1st time I've viewed threads recently)
I was trying to request some info in relation to

but it will not let me post as I've had to get a new user name etc since I can't remember my old login & no longer have my old email address.
Question was
Is there somewhere I can download CWM 6.0.5.1 for Galaxy S4 Mini LTE (serranoltexx) so I can install with my 1st install of CM11 instead of getting update later via CM?
Thanks

I followed the instructions and everything in odin went fine and I can reboot into cwm recovery but once there I am unable to proceed further because when I mark "install zip" and click the marker returns to "reboot system now". Regardless of which alternative I choose, even reboot system now, the marker returns to "reboot system now" and I am forced to remove the battery to exit and when I unplug the phone odin shows a green "pass". Grateful for any help I can get.

First of all, thanks very much arco68 for the work on this.
The rooting process worked like a charm, no problem at all with the steps in the guide BUT...
...when done and rebooting phone into normal mode the vibrating has stopped working.
Im pretty sure it isn't a hardware problem.
Can it be something with the kernel flashed in the rooting process?
Have tested to do the whole process with newly downloaded files once again to be sure there wasn't any problem with the files etc.
Please help!

The latest is Candy5 v2.1.0 in Post #2 (Android 5.1.1). Try the latest and clean flash. If it still does this, I need logcat logs showing the problem if I'm going to have any chance at fixing it. Paste a log on Pastebin.com and link it back here.
OK, I installed the last version (5.1.1 from 20150422) and everything seems to be working, at first boot I had no signal at all so I restarted my phone... and no signal.
Rebooted to recovery and installed Zero Gapps from slim, reboot system, no signal
The I attempted to add my google account and after conecting my phone to the wifi it got signal, went to APN config and my companies APN is there, Data seems to work OK, phone and messages works as well
Connect my phone to wifi seems to solve the problem
Thanks Dan!

This is an issue affecting many devices on LP5.1. I believe it is upstream and will get fixed in due time...
hello NoSpam Dan
i connect my phone to PC and choose Mass storage but only my 2GB SD card showed up in My computer window, neither internal storage!
Can you guide me to make the internal storage connect to my PC?

Can you mount storage in recovery mode?
Check your Device Manager carefully for Nexus or ADB devices (if you're on Windows). If you find something like this, try to change it to a USB Storage Device.

Sometimes you can right click that ADB interface and choose "Update driver". Then select manual and choose USB Mass Storage Device.
Depends on the drivers you are using. I haven't changed the connection methods, but that doesn't mean they haven't changed somewhere in the upstream code...

You seem to have a stuck power button. @vincom has a 1-Stop sticky thread that is linked in my signature. Although that's for the Skyrocket, you might find some of it useful for the Hercules as well.

You need to give more details please.
- What recovery are you using?
- What GApps package?
- Did you repartition your device?
Full wipe, and try flashing only the ROM, without restoring any backup data, and see how it goes.
Or as I said, stuck power button.
