Hi,
First time poster...
I recently upgraded from a rooted HTC One V to a Samsung S4 Mini (I9190) on JB 4.2.2 - firmware I9190XXUBNA1.
I tried rooting with towelroot v3 - device not supported.
CF Auto Root only lists a KItKat 4.4.2 I9190UBUCNG1 file on the site - can I use this to root or will it brick my phone? Or must I first upgrade to KitKat using a 4.4.2 firmware from Sammobile.com since the upgrade is not yet available in my country? I am really not concerned about tripping KNOX.
Another question - how do I determine if the bootloader is locked?
Having a phone without root is just not the same... Any advice will be appreciated

flash this recovery with ODIN
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678420
then enter the recovery and go into the reboot menu and click reboot, then it'll ask you if you want to root your phone, then click yes. and you're done. if you don't have the supersu app installed automatically on your system afterwards, download it.

Hi guys can someone help to update my GT-N7100 which running on official 4.1.2 to official 4.4.2 N7100XXUFND3 Without Installing Knox By Trying Like This Method I Saw On Youtube : How to remove KNOX Bootloader on Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini firmware (with Linux)?
-On This Official Rom "N7100XXUFND3" (The Question Is Can I Delete The "sboot.bin" And/or "boot.img" From This Rom And It Will Not Update My Bootloader To Knox When I Flash It With Odin 3.07 Or It Will Hard Brick My Device).
Thanks In Advance,Any Help Or Info Is Really appreciated .
(And Excuse Me If There Is Any Mistakes In My Language).
Wifi with bootloader older than 4.3 not working at 4.3 or 4.4. OK now for this method first you need root and second you have to flash mj5 bootloader, it is writing Knox bit etc but is cosmetic and is possible to downgrade at everything you want. After you have to use mobile Odin to flash 4.4.2 official from your device (mobile Odin flashes everything except bootloader) and you will be ready but not rooted. If you need root you have to flash philz recovery 6.25... + and flash from recovery supersu update 1.94. After root also you can remove with a root file manager completely Knox apps from your device. If you want to restore warranty flash again original recovery with mobile Odin (if you don't want to extract the firmware put all firmware at mobile Odin at the place which is writing recovery) and after run triangle away 3.26. Links you can find at forum. If you own mobile Odin pro is good to know that ever root for the moment not working at 4.4.2 and you have to do the same procedure.

Goodmorning.
I've seen various posts regarding the problem in rooting some P605 models. Anyone had is own solution but all scares me very much (who want to install the P900 mod, who wnat to flash with a file for P607).
I've found no solution right for the P605.
I updated my firmware to 4.4.2 version and now wanted to root: I tried several files for P605 (CF-Auto-Root-lt03lte-lt03ltexx-smp605.zip and also CF-Auto-Root.tar) but all gave me problems in boot loop. Even if Odin (3.9 version) after few loops gave me result of complete opeartion, but the loop never stopped. So I had to flash again the 4.4.2 version.
maybe my problem is that my P605 comes from 3 carrier from Austria.
I updated the firmware (so I also unbranded it) and made the carrier unlock (by paying).
I still look for a way to root it.
thanks for the help
Current CF Auto Root DOES NOT work with stock 4.4 ROM, period.
Flash your stock 4.4 rom and install TWRP with ODIN, then flash supersu with TWRP and the tablet is now rooted.
Use towelroot and keep knox 0x0.

Done just now. it works. easy and quick:
please remember to disable auto firmware upgrade to avoid the block of the root done by android.
thanks)

Hi guys I've had my note II for quite awhile (2 years) and I've rooted it back then installed custom ROM and recovery, not quite sure if a custom kernel is installed. Currently still on 4.1.2 and TWRP installed.
To unroot, I researched that i'll just have
Use Triangle Away and reset my counter.
Flash official firmwares from sammobile
The question here now is that do will my device be kept as official/normal and flash counter 0?? Because some of the steps shown are quite ambiguous and I just want to make sure that I can sell the phone!
Thanks in advance!!

Well, you will need to flash official firmware 4.1.2 first. The status of the phone will be official.
Then, root the phone and install + update Super SU. Use triangleaway to reset the counter.
Then, fully unroot using Super SU. Your phone should certainly fetch you a good dowry.
Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.

Thank you for your reply!
hmm is there anywhere that I can find the official 4.1.2 firmware? Sammobile only has the latest versions.. Also, is it possible to retain root when I flash the original firmware?

Go to samsung-updates.com and click firmware archive.
There is a list of 4.1.2 firmwares. Find one for your country.
Also, if your country is not listed, you can flash 4.1.2 from any country in your region provided that your phone is Galaxy Note 2 international (N7100)
If not, you may have to settle from may be 4.3 or 4.4.
Lastly, you cannot retain root. You will have to follow the procedure mentioned in the earlier reply.
Hi all,
I tried to uprgrade my P605 by OTA to 4.4.2 from 4.3 MJ4 with wanam exposed but it didn't... downloading is ok but after a reboot it appear "unable to upgrade".
How I can do that ? And if I can't, where I can't find the ROM prerooted ?
If there is no prerooted ROM, what is the step by step method to unroot my tab, upgrade it and re-root it ?
Thanks a lot for all your responses
regards
Or perhaps a ROM I can use with mobil ODIN ? (is every ROM can be use with mobile odin ?)

Hi,
I think that the best thing would be to download the stock ROM you want to install from SamMobile or Samsung Updates, flash it with Odin and the using the method given HERE root it with TowelRoot.
So far there is not any stock pre-rooted ROM available for the P605

Well I don't know but AFAIK Mobile Odin doesn't support the Note 10.1 version 2014 !!
It's not a big deal to root it after flashing the stock ROM !!
Thanks,
Finally I flashed my tab with the stock rom from sammobile with ODIN and yhen I rooted it with cf-autoroot from chainfire and everything is perfect !!!

So do you have the P605v (Verizon LTE) version? Then you flashed the stock ROM (4.3) from SamMobile via ODIN and re-rooted, correct? I just want to make sure that I am doing this "apples-to-apples" as I don't want to lose root on my P605v.
No I have p605, not verizon version.
Hi Friends,
I recently flashed French 5.1.1 update on my N3N and rooted through Chainfire's method. File were taken from autoroot chainfire's website. I am facing an issue as listen below:
Once the device is rooted, I download Root checker which says device is rooted. I run some root apps and yes the apps work. However, when I factory reset through the option in settings, the phone kinda hard reset. It optimizes all apps when it does first login which usually doesn't happen when resets. Moreover, once the phone starts, to my surprise, the phone has lost root. None of the rooted files work and root checker says it's not rooted. And then I have to re-root. Why is this happening?
Now, I want to downgrade and install v10 Note 4 mini ROM. May I request the gurus here to guide me. I have installed this ROM on my other N3N and it's working fine, however that phone is on 4.4.2. Will downgrading my lollipop based phone to kitkat cause the phone to brick or something? And the basic procedure to downgrade includes:
1) Install TWRP recovery
2) Wipe cache data etc
3) install Note 4 Mini ROM OR I should first install official KitKat ROM and then wipe it all and install the custom (note 4 mini) ROM.
Would appreciate your help here.
Thanks.
First of all NEVER factory reset your Rooted Phone unless it is unrooted otherwise you will always face this type of problem.
Samsung device is Hard to brick so just flash your 4.4.2 kitkat desired country Firmware using odin and enjoy

Thanks shyboy for your reply. In one of the threads, I figure out CF autoroot was partially running. It did not give complete root access to the phone and hence the problem arise. I installed TWRP redovery and copied latest SuperSU in the sdcard. Then through TWRP, I flashed latest SuperSU and voila, I had my phone fully rooted.

BDW, what if I want to come to official Lollipop 5.1.1 over my Note 4 mini ROM. Should I just ODIN the official 5.1.1 firmware or do I need to first wipe it through TWRP and then flash the official ROM?
Sorry if I am bothering you. Just wanted to know.
make a backup of your internal sd card
1. boot in recovery mode
2. wipe all (data and system)
3. power off (pull out battery)
4. power on in download mode ( "Vol-" + "Home" + "Power button")
5. flash stock 4.4.2 via odin e perform the first boot.
6. boot in download mode, flash cf autoroot and reboot
7. flash the recovery you want (kitkat version)
8. enjoy

Suppose brother you are on 4.4.2 base firmware and you are flashing Note4 mini rom you can take backup using twrp recovery, and can flash S5 custom rom for N3N which has base firmware of 4.4.2 but if you want to flash new Version of RoM 5.1.1 you have to use odin then i think you cant use Note4mini rom because it is based on kitkat hope it helped
just press thanks button rather than a reply

You can downgrade to KitKat. There is a thread on the forum who talks about that.
Please help with the reference link.

I don't know whether you have done it or not. But if not, beware, there is a risk of losing imei while downgrading from 5.1.1 to lower versions. I would suggest making a EFS backup first. By doing that you can restore your IMEI in case you lose it.
Download EFS backup apps from google play store.
