[RECOVERY][ROOT] Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE (GT-I9195)

I think something went wrong, because I also updated to MH3 and when I enter the code I get it 3 times.

Argh!

I followed these instructions
1. make backup with cwm
2. install Firmware with oden.
3. before it reboots. get ones more in Odin mode and install CWM from acro86
4. Before it reboots get in CWM and install rootkit v2.
5. reboot and everything is fine.

Where could if have gone wrong?

The Rom. You flashed a Rom like this:
Model: GT-I9195
Country: Spain
PDA: I9195XXUAMH1
CSC: I9195OXXAMH3
MODEM: I9195XXUAMH1

PS: I have also 3x AMH3 from Germany DBT Rom.

For me this guide must be:

1. Make backup with CWM
2. Install Firmware with Odin.
2a. Reboot the new Firmware to one first clean configuration.
---> Sometimes the CSC is not installed when we have a Custom Recovery working.
3. Get ones more in Odin mode and install CWM from acro86
4. Before it reboots get in CWM and install rootkit v2.
5. Reboot and everything is fine.

I flashed the firmware I9195OXXAMH3 found on sammobile.. I guess your 2a step is what I could try. As long as everything works as it should (and it does) I won't reflash everything.. it was soo much easier on my old Desire

OXXAMH3 is not a firmware but the multi-CSC from Firmware's (PDA) XXUAMH1 and XXUAMH2

Ah, that's why then where can I find the firmware then?

Hi arco! Thanks your kernel! I only have one question:
Does it support initd? If not how can it?

I have flashed correctly the CMW .tar from Odin, after the vibration I hold the vol+ and home button and NO RECOVERY for me. I switch off the phone and then I hold the vol+, the home button and the power button, STOCK RECOVERY for me.
So, what the F is going on here ?

Hi @arco68

Sorry but I've way to have Root on my S4 Mini I9195 whit SECURE stock kernel, I have all rooted whit SuperSU 1.60

Made it on Rom XXUAMH3 from Germany DBT. After root replaced on system/csc the DBT by TPH from my Country by default.
After, the same on Rom XXUAMH4 from Hungary PAN. Replaced also PAN by my TPH by default.

Whit getprop I have [ro.secure]: [1] and [ril.product_code]: [GT-i9195ZKATPH] on both.
Now on MH4 the kernel is dpi@DELL206 #1 from 13.08.2013.

Not need RootKit nor insecure kernel.

You not receipt PM's and I have not the way to speak to You before about this.

Please give me Your opinion by PM.

Thank You

You didn't do it in time. If you don't catch the first vibration, the CWM will be lost. Reflash with Odin and try again

 

[Thirsk]

Anyone know if this method of root works on i19195T Australian variant?

Ok, I'll look at it. Maybe the new su binaries have a workaround for the root prevention that the kernel has.

WARNING! ONLY USE THIS ON THE GT-I9195 MODEL!

Hello all S4 Mini owners!

I'm happy to finally release ClockworkMod recovery and an insecure kernel for the GT-I9195. With these two installed on your device, obtaining root is easy.

Hi arco,
It is good work but I've found problem with screen mirroring after rooting my phone.

1. I have tried to go to stock ROM and screen mirroring worked fine.
2. I installed only CWM without RootKit2.zip and it worked fine too.
3. Finally I have installed RootKit2.zip and screen mirroring does not work since.

So the problem is probably in GT-I9195_RootKit_v2.zip.
Is it possible to correct it please?

Thx

The same problem happened with the S4 while using the Allshare Cast dongle.
AFAK it was solved with "triangle away" to reset the flash counter.

But "triangle away" doens't support S4 mini and people has been saying that the flash counter on the S4 mini keeps 0 after flashing this.

After this rooting procedure can I reinstall/update busybox with Busybox installer application?
Just because when I start busybox in Terminal Emulator app as su, it says:

soinfo_relocate(linker.cpp:976): cannot locate symbol "__strchr_chk" referenced by "busybox"... CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

 

[arco68]

Added S4Mini_RootKit_v1.zip to the first post. This should work on all S4 Mini's, as it doesn't require an insecure kernel, meaning root works with stock kernel. Also fixed the issue with BusyBox.
