Hi, new to the s4 mini...what is the latest and greatest method to root and install Lineage? Anyone have step by step instructions? I found some but think they might be outdated. Thanks!

just flash Linage and then the addon.
(or you can use other method whichever you prefer)
Thanks. Is Odin and cf auto root still the way to go?

I have never tried CF, originally for CM l flashed the S4 mini rootkit available on one of the threads for my I9195 years ago, I'm not even sure what method it used, it was provided by Arco (I think). After installing Linage a few months ago I just used their addon to provide root.

Has anyone tried the CF Auto Root method on their 2014 Galaxy Note 10.1 WiFi only (build MK1)? I haven't been able to find anyone post whether or not they had success with doing so.

CF auto root should work with any P600 despite build version

Awesome!! Thanks for the confidence! Yep, it worked like a charm!
Hello big guys.
I'm a noob when it comes to roots and roms on phones.
I have been using the offical touchwiz still and is a little interested in rooting the phone and installing cyanogenmod to make it work faster.
I've read that there is a one click method to root called towelroot right now, I want to try it because I don't really understand how to root with other ways on the forum.
And I'm wondering if anyone has tried it before so I can use it and move on to the next step of flashing a custom rom.
Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately Towelroot doesn't support this device yet. I tried earlier today
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2623635 this is the link to the everything thread for the captivate glide. They have root instructions there, and they're pretty straightforward
Good luck!
Hi guys,
I want to root my galaxy S4 mini GT-I9190 usig CF auto root
But i ve seen in the cf auto root download website (look in the attached tumbnail) that the android version for GT-I9190 is 4.4.2 and the board (Chipset) is MSM8960
But my galaxy s4 mini is GT-I9190 have the official 4.2.2 and not the 4.4.2 and the board of it is MSM8930...
My question is:is there any problem if i root my phone using the cf auto root file?
Please i want a fast answer...
Thanks
Don't you think this is kinda rude to ask for a quick answer the way you did it?
CF autoroot in my opinion is not device specific because it only flashes SuperSU and busybox I guess. If you want to be sure, download the latest Supersu.zip and flash this.
What about reading guides???

100% agree, read first please.
Hello guys,
I have the GT-I9195 running build 13.0-20160124 (latest). I've searched around for ages looking for a fix or correct version of SuperSU beta to install but to no avail. It just stays on the CM boot screen forever. I've tried versions 2.49, 2.51 and 2.64. Is there a version which works on the S4 mini?
Also, I know there is an inbuilt root manager for CM13 but many apps still do not work when granted access through it.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I just wanted to mention that this also works for cm13 on the LG Optimus L90 LG-D415. Big thanks.

Yes, Samsung do not provide updates anymore for the s4 mini.
You should be able to install CM13, like the rest of us.
Which method did you use to root? Which procedure are you following & what is actually failing? Do you have custom recovery installed?
I just followed Arco's recovery root thread & used the s4mini rootkit v2. Later installed TWRP and CM13.

It sounds like you may have followed the "old" method, there are several (often stolen from Arco with no credit given to him) still on the net & even one on xda that uses older version of Odin that does not work. You need Odin 3.09 and to follow the original thread
edit; oops wrong thread for your phone, hang on
edit: this looks like it, gotta rush have footy match now!

strange. I'd double check all the files are correct and that Odin is ver 3.09, then retry from the start.
