Recovery

I will definitely test as well! This is a great phone! I don't know why it doesn't have more support.

This is because Verizon lock down the bootloader so tight if your phone tried to take a crap it would be as thin as a needle and sharp as a knife. There won't be anything for the Verizon S4 mini because of that. And I mean its been available for over a year now, if something could have been done it would have by now..

Sorry,
Sora.

Adding Info to your project.

Guys,
I have installed a custom recovery on my SCH-I435 with Odin and a version of Phil Touch. I have been trying different Lollipop toms, I can get them to work for the most part. Recently the issue has been no sound at all. Would love to try another. If you need anything else, let me know.

How did you do that? From what I've read, flashing anything but stock rom on an schi-i435 bricks it.

I435 Root and Recovery

How did you do that? From what I've read, flashing anything but stock rom on an schi-i435 bricks it.

I used Towel Root and the "Philz_Touch_6.48.4-serranoltexx" recovery. Used Odin to flash the recovery. Towelroot is an apk that you can install and run it to get root like a regular app. Then install super su and busybox from google play. then flash your recovery using odin....need anything else just ask....

Did you do this on an sch-i435?

 

[TheGhost1951]

Yes I did, the very same I am using right now. Testing a TWRP recovery on it now..?

Were you able to resolve the sound issue you posted about in another thread?

 

[TheGhost1951]

Not yet still working on it. Also the current Roma are for GSM phones. If yours is CDMA like mine you will need an app called Advanced Signal Status from the app store to change it.

 

[TheGhost1951]

Still no answer on the sound and mic issue but not giving up.

No more rooting for this phone.

Thank you for taking the time to get something working for this phone. I just got this phone and it seems I might be SOL, but do you know of any new way to root thus phone? It seems that the Towelroot and saferroot options no longer work.

 

[TheGhost1951]

What model number and carrier do you have?

 

[keithsmessina]

I have the sch-i435 on Android 4.4.2 on Verizon. Baseband is I435VRUBOC1.

 

[TheGhost1951]

I did use Towelroot. Check out this video on you tube. Read description as well below the video. m.youtube.com/watch?v=cCydyJqi55I

 

[keithsmessina]

I get a "This phone is not supported error" with Towelroot.

 

[TheGhost1951]

It is stock right?

I will do some further checking for you be patient ok?

Yes it is, just checked baseband. What did saferoot do when you tried it? My baseband is the version just under yours according to Sammobile.

Are you concerned about tripping Knox? Mine is tripped due to custom recovery but I don't mind.

 

[keithsmessina]

Saferoot gave me the message that it was patched and couldn't be rooted by that method. Kingo also failed. I don't mind tripping the Knox.

 

[keithsmessina]

I wonder if Odin can be used to flash a custom ROM and recovery on an unrooted phone.

 

[TheGhost1951]

Odin can be used without root.

You might have a locked bootloader.

 

[TheGhost1951]

Verizon locks the bootloader, so you need to start with that step first. Google "unlock bootloader S4 mini" and see what you get.
