- can I flash the firmware from i9195 in my i435?
- how to make a backup of the firmware?
- is there a CWM for i435?
- does the original factory firmware for use through ODIN?
- can I i435 unlock for other SIM (not Verizon)?

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?

So is there any advantage to buying one with a specific/older bootloader?

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] Bootloader, CWM & Rom help

I have managed to root my device after the 10P firmware! FYI, I used Android Kingo Root.
After looking into many posts, forums, etc... I have come to the conclusion that unlocking the bootloader is going to be trickier than any other device I have been successful with. I want to install CM 10.2 and CWM 6+, however, I cannot find solid information on how to unlock the bootloader for this unit. I would have liked to install the latest 4.4.2 from AT&T, but the device was rooted prior and AT&T will not honor the phone for the upgrade. At this point, I feel it would be easier to just install a custom ROM instead of trying to put the AT&T stock back into the unit.
Most of the info I see seems overly tricky and doubtful. I have downloaded FreeGee, but, in version 1.9.23 there isn't an option for unlock or disable security,(I have emailed the devs for the app). I also have gprorecovery.apk, but, I am deathly afraid to use it as I cannot find ANY material about it anywhere and I am worried to brick the one phone I absolutely love.
If someone has the knowledge, please share. Also, feel free to add in your experience and pitfalls with this device after manipulating the software. I am not 100% sold on CM, so if you want to suggest a great ROM...Feel free.
I appreciate the help and suggestions in advance.

No unlocked bootloader for the gpro. Sorry dude.

And then reboot to recovery as normal to install the ROM? I have read so much information that states you have to do some special presses of the buttons to get recovery to load. What are you running on yours?

Once you install recovery press power + volume up (asuming you powered down or resetted your device of course) until the lg logo appears ( some white letters will appear on the top left corner, release power button when they do). That will take you to the recovery. I'm. Using a cwm/twrp combo. I flash everything i need with cwm, twrp i keep since this phone has a tendency of going into a recovery bootloop and only twrp can get you out of it. Always keep your flashing files on the internal storage, sometimes flashing from sd card wont work.

[Q] Rooting Z1c

Hi All,
I recently got my Z1 Compact, Do I have to Unlock Bootloader to root? Because I already say Doomlord's method and I plan to keep my BL locked.
Is there any other way to root the latest 4.4 Firmware?
Thanks Alot!

I'd rather bump this thread instead of making a new one.
Will rooting via Lorenzoval link lose any data and/or unlock the bootloader? Any can rooted phone still receive and install official updates? Sorry, first time using a Sony phone, used to use Nexus. Thanks before.

You will not lose any data and your phone's bootloader will not be unlocked. You can install official updates but you will lose root.

Answer is obvious. All you need to do is read on this forum. Seriously, these questions are coming up weekly because people don't read.
Plus, if it was, don't you think it would've been done??

hey there, clever idea trying to use legit roms from tmobile to get around the bootloader that's set only to take official roms! however the bootloader was locked by att and is using their own signature (security key), so unfortunately t-mobile roms won't work. neither will official Samsung roms, only roms by att themselves will work. the most you can wiggle here is to flash the att official rom with another tool using your computer, but it's the same att rom with nothing changed in it.
as for unlocking the bootloader, sadly that hasn't happened either. there IS a semi root available on 4.4.4 of this phone if you're willing go to back a few versions. the reason I say "semi" is because once you turn your phone off and on again it will go away. so you'll have to re-root it after each reboot.
hope this helps, I know the information overload on here can be overwhelming to sort through, especially if you don't live on the forums *cough ^^^ *

You can't downgrade if you are on firmware OC4 or above. *cough*

First t-mobile roms aren't compatible, secondly they wouldn't flash because of the locked bootloader and 3rd t-mobile bootloader isn't compatible with at&t note 4.

12A update from 10B help?

So right now I'm on 10B, rooted with xPosed installed. However, I saw that the 12A update included touch improvements, and my touchscreen has been giving me issues for a while now.
Is there anywhere I could find a guide on how to update to 12A from 10B and keep root and xPosed? Or would anyone be willing to create a guide? Thanks!!

From my understanding, that is the magic question. Updating to 12a w/o the bootloader. If 12a root image flashed without 12a OTA first, result is a image mismatch. No 12a KDZ file yet.
Thats what you would need from 10b.
Back in the holding pattern.

Wait a little longer my friend. There's supposed to be a bootloader unlock coming for users on 10b still.

:highfive::fingers-crossed: If there is, that would be absolutely fantastic.. I guess I'll hold out a bit longer haha. Are there any "fixes" for the touchscreen issues right now then?

I'd like to see someone rooted on 12a post their build.prop. There were some edits before that helped the touchscreen. Maybe diffing the latest build.prop changes might help the rest of us out.

Yes there is indeed a new bootloader unlock coming out for users on 10b. It would be in your best interest to hold out until it's released and then unlock your bootloader and just flash a custom ROM when they become available.

Yeah, I realize that's pretty much one of the rules, but I'd think that if they're saying there is definitely a bootloader unlock coming soon, I'd want to know where they got that from, right?

You can use touch screen booster and it will help to decrease touch issues drastically...
Untill we get the bootloader unlocked this is really helpful. [emoji12]
