Hello everyone. I'm extremely new to this and need some help on the subject.
Recently I got a Galaxy S III Mini GT-I8190L and tried rooting it. The problem was I tried doing it with a GT-I8190 root. Fortunately it didn't go very far with Odin. Once it gave me the "Fail" notification I unplugged it and the phone restarted by itself. It said that it was performing 3 updates and started working normally. My issue is that now I can't download any firmware updates (Kies tells me the software is not supported and can´t initialize, where as WIFI update tells me the device has been modified), and doesn´t auto-rotate unless an app requires it. I even downloaded Root Checker from Google Play and all it tells me it has "improper root".
Recently the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean UBAMC1 Firmware has been released, so I was wondering if by installing this update I could solve my problem?
Have as much patience as you can with me and please be as descriptive with your answer as you can. As I told you I´m very new and can get lost pretty easily. :silly:
Thank you for your help!
Howdy all,
Just as the title say's, I'm in doing a Note 4 root and am coming into some trouble's since it's my first time doing one.
I follower the how to post by Chainfire , Proceed'd with the process with out issue and installed a few apps that are for root phones and they all seem to work fine.
Search'd around a bit more for a custom rom to use, and decided on trying out X-Note.
Installed the Mobile Odin app and open'd it after the install was complete but i get the following message:
Device model not supported (or not detected - check root) !
Generate a dump file that may help make this device compatible.
Phone Details:
Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Model Number: SM-N910G - Android version: 4.4.4
Now all that's out the way its question time.
1: Where do i send the mobile odin text dump too?
2: Will X-Note G-910F rom be compatible with G-910G?
3: Can it be flashed using the window's odion via usb cable?
ps.
Any other suggestion's for a nice rom would be great, as well as any tips on what not to remove from system app storage.
Went to download the Dr.Keaton Rom and it gave me spyware on the installer :| Anyone got a safe one with no malware attacked to a downloader?
Hi,
All roms will probably show up as viruses/malware ... As they are customized firmware, Usually rooted and all of that will show as exploits to a virus scanner. If you are worried, read the last few pages of any rom thread, whatever current issues there are will be discussed.
As far as your other questions, Here's a dedicated help thread for your device that you can ask for help in,

Good luck!
after towel was released at&t released a update which fixed the patch that was used to root in towelroot. I have heard that there are alternative rooting methods which I have tried that involve Odin. For some reason though when I try to use Odin it always told me fail and after a certain amount of tries in bricked my phone which is now in a boot loop. can someone help get me out of that bootloop?
I also have another question. Can't you just flash a older version of android to your Galaxy s5 and then use towelroot to root it?
(I am very new to this rooting experience and I would appreciate step by step guide):laugh:
Than you
You probably had "fail" message because you hadn't disabled the option "Reactivation Lock" in Security settings before using Odin.
To fix your phone, just boot in Download Mode, then flash a working firmware for your S5. Do you how to do that ? Can help you if needed
I also have another question. Can't you just flash a older version of android to your Galaxy s5 and then use towelroot to root it?
Yes you can, but prefer using newer version for you'll have better performance and security updates.
Hi everyone,
i have been searching for 2 weeks how to root this phone, but no luck yet. I am saying no luck for a proper way to do it , because you can do it with the avant method, or by using the CF method which uses the SM-G386T firmware, and for reading lots of forums, i know it works, but the problem is if i ever want to update later, i would not be able to do so. I already have the firmware for my phone, G386WVLU1ANJ1, running android 4.4.2 KITKAT, and i have extracted the recovery.img from the firmware file. I am searching how to unlock the bootloader so i can apply whatever rooting method i want. Since i am new to this, i need some information. If i ever want to use the CF-Auto-Root method using the SM-G368T model, can i go back to stock phone whenever needed by flashing recovery image from the SM-G386W ?. If not, is there any other method i can use, preferably one that doesn't trip my KNOX flag to 0x01. Until now i have tried 2 methods, Towelroot and Z4root, which didn't work at all. The main reason i want to root is i want to get rid of the bloatware installed by default on my phone and gain control of my phone without any restrictions, and customizing it.
Please need help.
Thank you very much
P.S: can anyone recommend some reading about rooting android phones?

I also own one of these phones and would like to root the phone to get rid of bloat ware and make the phone run smoother. I would appreciate if you could give a quick run down on how you managed your root. Greatly appreciated.

Canadian carrier use Kingo one click root
Hi
i always used Kingo one click root it has super su that make it easy for bloat removal in a click of a button for all my Samsungs Galaxy core lte
galaxy s4
I have a t-mobile s3 that was at one time rooted then updated to the latest firmware root was lost and never rerooted. I was running the latest update totally stock no modifications. The phone wont complete the boot it just hangs at the end where the samsung is going from blue to white. The phone will go into download mode and recovery however when i tried to do a factory reset on it it failed. The device is not rooted so i cant flash a rom to it. I dont know how to fix it. I dont know what version of odin to use and am not sure what rom to put on it or if i can even do it. I connected the phone to odin and it said s4 mini so I am thinking that is not the version of odin to even try and flash the stock firmware. any suggestions on how to fix my phone or if it can be fixed?
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
I cant post a link for you but you can go to Sammobile or samsung-updates and use your model number to find your stock firmware. I'm sure there will be more than one android version for your device so choose whichever you want, just be mindful of which ones are rootable or not if you want to root it again at some point. Then use at least Odin version 3.09 or newer, make sure you have the newest version of "USB drivers for Samsung phones" installed.
If you have more questions or need further assistance you can post your question in the forum linked below.
