[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 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
use the screen-mirroring?
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.
Hi everyone!
I have a Galaxy tab S SM-T800X (the "Live Demo Unit" edition), and I have tried to flash the stock SM-T800X ROM with a stock SM-T800 5.0.2 ROM (T800XXU1BOJ1_T800PHN1BOG1) using Odin. This did work for me, kinda.. I succeeded in changing the firmware from T-800X to T-800, and the tab stopped playing those anoying demo clips, however the loading screen still says "Live Demo Unit", and I still can't delete the pre-installed demo content apps. I also got this watermark like text in the bottom left corner of the screen. This is all new to me, and I have spent a week experimenting, reading topics, and forums on this subject, but I couldn't figure out how to solve this problem. I hope that someone will be kind enough to explain to me (in a noob friendly way) how to solve this.
Thank you in advance!
Ensure FRP is not active, Install twrp, factory reset, Install stock firmware with odin.
I would like to remove the starting screen ''Live demo unit'' on SM-T800X tablet to the stock one, and after flashing I have got the demo pieces of text in the bottom of the screen.
I tried to re-partition the install with ODIN and used a PIT file but no changes. Anybody can help with this problem please ? Is there any solution to change the demo unit to look as a stock SM-T800 ?
Also if there any solution to change KNOX value to 0 would be great.
I have swapped motherboards from full working SM-T800 to the base SM-T800X and watermark still stays on the screen, it is not very noticable but I want to remove that permanently.
Starting screen has changed to ''Galaxy Tab S" no more live demo unit.
I don't understand that I was thinking that all the flash memory is on the MB, but now I don't know what should I think about it. It looked that screen has his own memory and display the watermark still.
Hi there,
I recently purchased a Tab S 10.5 off of eBay from a seller that said they'd messed up a custom ROM installation and with a cursory amount of research I saw that it was possible to return it to factory and had no issue putting in the leg work to get it done. However, I'm finding that my own knowledge of rooting and custom ROMs isn't sufficient for this situation now that I've gotten stuck into it. The tablet shows the Tab S logo and then immediately displays a message that says the software isn't official ATT and to return to a store for assistance. When I try to boot into the recovery menu I'm met with a screen that has a large android and says, 'Downloading...' and I can't get any further there either.
I've tried flashing recovery files with Odin but they have all failed and have also tried the Turkish image and it just sits at, '<ID:0/004> SetupConnection.." and doesn't initialize.
I've also gotten a, 'NAND StartWrite FAIL!!' notice as well.
I got the thing for a steal and would love it if it were possible to return it to factory and was just curious what kind of options I had at this point. Are there any program alternatives to Odin or different recovery files to use mayhaps?
I'm wondering if buying a new logic board would fix the issue at this point but, wanted to double check that it wouldn't cause any differing problems than the issue I'm experiencing now.
Edit: Odin finally got passed the, 'SetupConnection' line for the Turkish image and displayed this next: '<ID:0/004> Can't open the serial(COM) port.' - This is the first time it's displayed this message and I'm not sure what to do about this either.

Are there any other versions of the firmware that would work instead?
Regarding the rest of my questions, I'm really just interested at this point if replacing the logic board would fix the issue. If anyone has tried that at least.
Didn't know where to post this exactly, to be honest. This will be a long post
I was flashing AOSP roms in the phone. Tried to go back to One UI for the VoLTE thing
In one of the AOSP roms I couldn't install it in Lineage Recovery (older version of the rom thing). I saw i one post that doing an ADB Sideload in TWRP could solve the flashing problem. Did that. No issues
Wanted to test another AOSP rom but didn't boot (bootloop), so then I tried to go back to One UI. Don't remember if I did a format data in that moment.
After installing the rom and reboot to system, the phone doesn't even show the splash screen.
But tried to go to download mode and it went there, so the phone is still alive
Tried also going to recovery and it boots there (just to recovery and download mode)
I tried everything I could:
Flashed another custom ROM without success
Flashed other AOSP roms again
Changed the recovery (Lineage, TWRP and Stock tested)
Flashed the stock firmware through Odin several times
Tried to do a re-partition in Odin
Did several factory resets
Nothing seems to work. The weird thing is that, with any rom that I try to install, it tells that is installed, but when I go to the file manager in TWRP, it doesn't install anything. The free space before the installation is the same as after it. I don't know what else I can do. I just have the hope because the phone starts in BL and recovery
Anyone have any idea of what can I do to solve this? Or if there is a way to install the OS outside Odin or recovery (or ADB)
Tried with fastboot (Lineage Recovery) with several commands, and I think I found the issue. The system partition got corrupted. Need to know how to repair it (tried already with the repair option in TWRP)
Any help with this?

Good afternoon faithful and unfaithful
Unfaithful Redspikejr
The barbarian from Pakonan has no idea about this but in your case he would do the following since I have had your problems and it was resolved positively.
I'm going to try to help you, I don't know English and I use a translator, I hope it's good to understand each other. Luck
First option
1 I want you to put through odin in AP twrp-3.6.0_9-2-d2s_official_jan22.tar unchecking auto reboot
2 in twrp delete data and say YES restart in twrp again and try to install PixelExperience_d2s-12.1-20220522-1749-OFFICIAL. I understand you will have it on the SD, if not, put the ROM on a USB key and try to install it in TWRP.
If you manage to install it, then install magisk apk and restart the system.
3 once started install magisk apk and ready.
Second option
1 I want you to put through odin in AP twrp-3.6.0_9-2-d2s_official_jan22.tar unchecking auto reboot
2 in twrp delete data and say YES reboot in twrp again and install the Recovery lineage.img and reboot in Recovery lineage and Factory reset & reset system partitions
3 Install the PixelExperience_d2s-12.1-20220522-1749-OFFICIAL. I understand you will have it on the SD, if not, put the ROM on a USB key and install from there. turn off the phone and
4 in download mode odin AP twrp-3.6.0_9-2-d2s_official_jan22.tar unchecking auto reboot reboot into TWRP
5 Install Magisk apk and reboot system.
once started install magisk apk and ready.
remember to have the cable plugged in to enter TWRP and download while you are following the steps. Good luck, you will say.
Salu2 of your most faithful infidel Pako
To update the situation
The battery of the phone in inflated like a balloon. I don't know for sure if that was caused by something physical, but will update when have some news
i still have the same problem and still hunger for a solution because i just bought it .. Been running quite a few firmwares now. and bootloaders and kernels and recoverys so far... but whats funny is in pixel recovery it said i had a "d2x" model which is SM-N976 model with 5G... But every elsewhere it says d2s which is note10+. Odin also says SM-N975F model... But anyways... I really really hope someone finds a solution. Because im stuck as hell...
I also made a thread my self
Partly bricked... SM-N975F
Hey guys.. Ive been a visitor in XDA forums for quite a while... And i been running root and custom FW with more or less every samsung from S2 and up... But i just got my self a note10+ (atleast thats what ive been told) and i wanted to root it...
forum.xda-developers.com
And i think its VBMETA problem. BUT i dont have any experience on that term...
Crossing fingers still...
I might have found a solution
Holy Hell, Im am so glad im not the only one that this is happened to. I will be more happy when we find a solution. I have put myself (device) in some questionable states but this has been a first and strange one for me . Its like being so close to booting into system then nothing.

I found this link this morning. Im sure this is the culprit.
I experienced today something like you. It did not let me flash even stock firmware. But I succeeded to get out. I flased via ODIN BL slot from Dr.Ketan and in AP slot TWRP and nothing else. And I managed to enter the TWRP recovery and from there I restored previous backup.
I will try to do a multipost due to more threads and problems which are the same...
But this is the solution...
In my folder on the picture you will see 2 files i marked with green color...
Use the file and burn it according to your current setup. Odin or custom recovery.
And the problem will be solved. Used 14 days and countless of hours to get out of this boot loop!
So im finally happy to see the boot up screen without pressing into download mode or recovery mode...
The folder on the picture is to be found on this forum... Just cant remember from which thread exackly

Bless you. My poor phone was down since 6-20. I was just kicking myself in the ass the other day saying if I got my phone to boot again i would never flash **** it on it ever again... @Titanity thank you so much for making me look like a liar. Now lets see what else we can do lol.
So you got it to work? And whats up next?

Yes it did. I have gotten myself in some pretty bleak spots in the past and have been able to resolve all my issues on my own research, troubleshooting, trial and error etc. but I had never had a device that was actually able to power on, flash twrp, stockfirmware pass in odin, tried all type of pit file patches, adb and fastboot commands and still not be able to get into OS completely stumped me and I had exhausted so much time on it that i came to the conclusion that one of the talented members of XDA would for sure come up with a solution and I was right.
Sorry for the blabber, Ive been just a watcher of this site for many years and have never had to engage so my apologies for my forum etiquette.
I main focus now is to find a good rom to run with nethunter. I was running Dr. ketan Rom with nethunter while installing every LSposed Module that sounded cool and was beyond impressed by how stable my device still performed (one of my largest TWRP backups was 49Gb btw.) So yea, look for something with a strong kernal, light rom to see what I like. I have yet to try the new roms out due to unfamiliar processes of installing outside of Odin. Its been a while since I had some free time tinker in this space again.
Yea im just a watcher my self... it took me a few days until i decided to make this solution. Because i do think it was a important solution i found. But yes im just a watcher my self...
Now im stuck again though because i have a faulty usb-c, so its claming theres water inthe entrance which there isnt. And i been looking all over the forums for a solution like 3 times now. And people are just trying to trick the fault or acturally have a solution... But thats only IF they have water inside and the stupid alarm goes off...
Instead i need a solution to disable it now that its rooted. So need to know exackly what to look for and theres no help to get here. So kinda stuck... Irritating because i just wanna use it for dex... And not dex wiesless because its lagging on the mouse and what not... So my adapter need the recharge entrance and ... doh! Long journey so far... And its far from ended...
But im very happy it worked out for you... Keep in touch if you need another silly question. Then i might have silly questions for you aswell Good day my friend
@Titanity Bless your heart, I need your help . I broke my friends phone which is a note 10 plus, and all that you guys mentioned about trying everything I did as well.. I read your solution but I dont know where to find the files you marked and how to go about them exactly... the phone is currently on stock recovery and is stuck there.
Okay do you have a option to use a mic and the software discord? i do belive its easier for both of us if we can do this with direct communication. If you dont want to use / have a mic. Then its also fine. Discord got a chat aswell so dont be shy I have my own discord which is:
Join the thetitanity @ twitch.tv Discord Server!
Check out the thetitanity @ twitch.tv community on Discord - hang outwith 17 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
discord.gg
Ill pop op now and then, but im not a streamer anymore on twitch. So dont be mistaken by the server info...
Look forward to see you on there. And ill make sure to have the files ready for you
Until then haha
EDIT: I just uploaded a package filled with "i help you in case of emergency" files. Make sure to download it before entering discord. Get it at...
https://easyupload.io/xwlk0w - and the PW is: titanity (30 days avalible)
Also have info ready like: is the model a 975F or? what firmware is on it at the moment. Is the bootloader unlocked. But also things like do you ever used TWRP before and know how to use it etc?
Its a package filled with files of my choice, but made by people from the forum. So no credit goes to me but them...
Have in mind that all the time i been on the forum i always just read the forum and downloaded when needed, so its the first time im trying to help others... But im optimistic!
