hmm....

saferoot_i919x_update works on i9195 LTE
Do you have knox? What I mean is has samsung updated your phone to actually use knox enforcement?
Only from the recent update to my S4 mini (GT-9190) knox was implemented. the only reason I updated was because I thought that it was 4.4. damn basterds have killed my root access in favour of some knox S**T. I went from admin to 2nd class user. Samsung should put up a changelog for the updates

Mine still didn't work. Same problem as before. On JDQ39.

A pity...

P.S. Here's my system SS. Any ideas why it doesn't work..?

And, is there another rooting method that doesn't change Knox to 0x1..?

Thanks!

Rooting S4 Mini Verizon

Hello all,
I just got a S4 mini from verizon. I originally had an Incredible 4g LTE. As I have been looking through the various threads I have come to realize that for this particular model of S4 mini, there is no actual root method yet is there?? Im a newbie to this particular phone so any information you can provide about rooting this phone would be much appreciated.

thanks all

From what I have seen, both saferoot and kinko works but not sure about the warranty void. I know I used kinko w/o any problems till I tried to flash something then my knox went to 0x1. Hope this helps but the SCH-I435 is not getting much love.

I rooted my sch-i435 using the method within this thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758, which I believe we are on, that states "Again, using this WILL NOT set the "Knox Warranty Void" flag.".

The method also mentions explicitly:
1. You can't install custom recovery and custom ROMs on a phone with a locked bootloader. This rooting program does not unlock your bootloader and won't allow you to flash custom on a locked device. However, NOTHING allows flashing a custom recovery on a bootloader locked phone at the moment. See Safestrap for a way to install some custom ROMs.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much.

Didn't work with any method on MK5

I have MK5 update i guess that's what it's called. But It didn't work. I get stuck on the bat file that says transfering files and just hangs there. But everything up to that point works perfectly. Just would not load files i guess. I waited 30 minutes and it still did not load files. Any other method to root?

Incase its of interest to anyone, I have the GT-I9192 with I9192XXUBNB1 baseband and have rooted with Kingo as saferoot did not work.
Unfortunately Kingo did trigger the Knox flag. Beware...

I own a SCH-I435L and can tell you guys this didn't work. Kingo didn't work either, so I guess I'm out of luck for the moment. Not having root sucks :mad:
