Maybe u can try adb pull command to get photos from phone to pc. I'm not sure if adb will work on turned off phone or in download mode?
Hope your phone get fixed soon

@Zeruat Not my solution, but try this

"1) Boot up CWM and
2) then pull the files"

Step-by-step:

1) Download CWM, rename it to cwm.img and place it in the same directory as your fastboot executable;
2) Reboot you device into fastboot mode and connect to your computer;
3) Make sure your computer sees your device by typing: fastboot devices
4) Boot CWM by typing: fastboot boot cwm.img
5) Pull all the files from /sdcard by typing: adb pull /data/media"

Yes. In the CM 13 thread, in op, there are the link to the recommended recovery (TWRP). If you have a cwm or twrp recovery you just need to flash the proper file in recovery. If you have any other recovery, you just need to flash the proper file on Odin.

Thank you for your reply. So as I understand it's the same process as if I was installing CWM for the first time, right?

you just need to switch it on, go to setting, about phone then tap build number 7x, then go to developer options and turn on root (and off if not using it for security)
Updating from nightly with the same maIn rev eg 13 you can just wipe dalvik & cache thin you won't lose all your data

It didn't work

you probably didn't boot STRAIGHT back into recovery before flashing zip

This is only the 4th Samsung phone I have rooted but unfortunately I have a problem.

Everything went fine in the flashing, ODIN reported a PASS (turned green) and the phone restarted as it should. The problem is I hold Home and Vol + but it goes straight back into "Downloading" and not into recovery. If I take the battery out and HOME, Vol - and Power I can restart the process but will it ever go into recovery, will it heck as like. I have tried battery out and then turn on with Power, Vol + and Home but it goes straight to downloading.

There is nothing of value on the phone so if it has corrupted then I am happy to flash it back to stock and restart if that is easier.

The downloading screen reads:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9195I
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK(KK): OFF
KNOX WARRENTY VOID: 0X0

Any ideas peeps? Thanks...

Are you all in Christmas mode? LOL

Just to let anyone else that gets stuck know how I fixed this S4 mini. The fact that it booted into download mode means it was soft bricked and that isn't to bad once you stop panicking about it. Because you haven't rooted it yet you simply have to flash the original firmware back onto it and it will reboot just fine. It seems to only work with the original firmware that was on before and if you try a different one you get an Auth Fail in ODIN. I was lucky that I found the right firmware at the 3rd attempt but there are loads of variants so everyone might be well advised to note the exact CSC number of their firmware before they start.

All the original firmware versions are free at sammobile.

Best of luck everyone. Might try and root this again later but I am not feeling brave at the minute.

It did not work because you flashed it on the wrong device. This is for GT -I9195 (dual core variant ,older model) ,you have the GT I9195i (quad core , value edition ) if you look here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-mini/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-t3454110/page14 you will find a recovery compatible with your device.

 

[MeisterKanister]

Hey there,
i was asked by a friend to recover some deleted files from his old S4mini and have a program that requires root access to do so.
First i tried this guide:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2387341
I managed to install CWM , but now the phone wont boot anymore.
Then i found this guide
I installed TWRP and flashed the image. Same problem.
I can still boot into DownloadMode or Recovery, but not start it normally.
All I get is: Set Warranty Bit: kernel
Is there any way to get the phone to boot without damaging the files I want to recover?

 

[sweetlings]

Hello. I tried to use Dr.Fone to recover some pictures but it didn’t installed correctly and I uninstalled it. However, the next day, my phone stopped working. I guess I bricked it. When it completely stopped working, the battery was on 39% and now the phone doesn’t do anything. I tried all the combinations I saw on the Interenet (power button + volume + home) but nothing helped. Also my computer recognized a USB device being plugged in, but it displayed as “QHSUSB_DLOAD” in the device manager.

My phone is Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (Android version 4.4.2). What can I do?

 

[yannis_gr]

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.

Attached to this post is the necessary files needed for this task. Download the following files:

• Odin_v3.09.zip (if you don't have it already)
• recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.1-serranoltexx.tar.zip
• S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip (contains SuperSU v1.89 and BusyBox v1.21.1) ONLY FOR STOCK ROM! NOT FOR CM OR OTHER AOSP BASED ROMS!

(1) Will this work (including WiFi) on I9195XXUCNK4 (Android 4.4.2)? Kernel is 3.4.0-3330432. What version of the kernel is in this rootkit? Will I9195XXUCNK4 have version problems with any installed kernel libraries etc? If so, which rom from sammobile should I flash before installing the rootkit?

(2) Someone in this thread mentioned that flashing a rom from sammobile might cause the I9195 to become locked or network locked. Is this true? My I9195 is unlocked and works fine on T-mobile in the USA.

I don't want to brick/disable my I9195. Sorry if these are dumb questions, this 100+ page thread is taking forever to load on this pos microsoft tablet and I have only made it to about page 12.

arco68 if you're still around many thanks and I will paypal you some beer money. Thanks in advance for any responses.

 

[smokerman]

you can use all tutorial with exception in this point:

Optional: Flash GT-I9195_Kernel_v1.zip (Only for Android 4.2.2, not KitKat)

dont flash the kernel..

use any of the custom roms here in xda..

 

[desna]

uncheck or check? "F. Reset Time

Hello, I'm going to install ClockworkMod recovery
I see in tutorials that the option F. Reset Time is check
In the xda tutorial it indicates Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time"
Which one is correct? Can tell the reason for better understanding

Question to the knowledgeable
Bare metal Recovery
I will install LOS 14 on my GT-I9195. That will be no problem ...
However, beforehand I would like to save all files for a low level restore with all components that can be restored. I run Linux with heimdall command line installed and working.
I'm sure somewhere there will be a documentation somewhere on what to backup (and later restore) with heimdall. But I can't find it and
heimdall --help doesn't tell much.
I can read the pit (which is partition information of the flash I guess). Therefore, I think I will have to backup (and later restore) all partitions mentioned there, but this is only guesswork.
Any help on the heimdall commands needed very much appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance
Chris

arco68 rootkit successfully installed on I9195XXUCNK4 using Heimdall

WARNING! ONLY USE THIS ON THE GT-I9195 MODEL!
Hello all S4 Mini owners!
I'm happy to finally release ClockworkMod recovery [...] for the GT-I9195. With these two installed on your device, obtaining root is easy.

• Odin_v3.09.zip (if you don't have it already)
• recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.1-serranoltexx.tar.zip
• S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip (contains SuperSU v1.89 and BusyBox v1.21.1)
  ONLY FOR STOCK ROM! NOT FOR CM OR OTHER AOSP BASED ROMS!

Necroposting to an old thread but this might help a future reader. Thanks to arco68 I was able to install this rootkit with no difficulty on my GT-I9195 (LTE) running stock Samsung PDA I9195XXUCNK4 and CSC I9195BOGCNL2. This is Android 4.4.2 kernel 3.4.0-3330432 build KOT49H.I9195XXUCNK4 November 2014. I have not tested calling or data on the GSM network (no sim card) but WiFi and everything else I have tested seems fine. All apps and data survived the procedure as expected.

I used Heimdall on a linux box (Fedora 21) instead of Odin. First download and save the .pit from the phone, then flash recovery.img extracted from recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.1-serranoltexx.tar.zip. There are lots of online guides for Heimdall. Otherwise the same instructions as in the first post. The Knox warranty bit was changed from 0x0 to 0x1 as expected. SuperSU cleaned up the Knox files on request. To verify I had root I used "adb shell" followed by "su". The root request was intercepted by SuperSU. All good.

Many thanks to arco68 for this rootkit.
