You can always update latest official with Odin, but remember if you trip Knox (using arco's recovery) you could lose warranty

[Q] shv-e370k (korean model)

Hello, does anyone have any experience with the SHV-E370K (Korean domestic version of Galaxy S4 Mini LTE)?
specifically, i'm looking to root it, but i'm wondering if this method is possible:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
I am wondering if, as usual, the Korean version has a slightly different motherboard than the international version (GT-I9195) and thus cannot use the GT-I9195 rooting method in the link above?
Thanks a lot

According to my research, there is no difference. I am using the same model as you. And I also couldn't see any difference in the hardware. Does your Group Play work? And how if we flash an official rom like France or India on these models? We wont loose OTA?

im not sure. actually i dont have any friends with a similar phone to try Group Play ;P
the korean version has LTE cat 4 at 150m, whiles the rest is cat 3 at 100m.
The korean version also known as the E370K, E370S and E370L, differences being different radio support for different network.

You can use CWM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398143, and root with this http://download.chainfire.eu/381/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip. Thanks to Arco and Chainfire

Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2

Hey folks, just wanted to know is there a way to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2?
I don't care about triggering the knox counter whatsoever.
Is it possible by rooting maybe?
Thanks.

hi.
I managed to downgrade 4.4.2TCL with knox 2.0 to 4.2.2.
was simple SamMobile I went to download the "ZTO-4.2.2-I9195UBUBNE2 Brazil" so Caribe; worked with this. Then just put in odin mode and 4.2.2 again.
Sorry my english
Cool, it worked for me aswell for m'y broken N4
hi there!
is it posible to perform this downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 in a i9190 device? Because I think the link to the solution is for the i9195 model only.
No its not. You will brick your device.
ok. So I'll have to wait until samsung releases 4.4.2 for my device and that would be in .......3....2....1........3/4..............1/2......................

What method used to Downgrade I9190 ?
If the radio does not work you can download a ROM SamMobile that is their region.

You have the same Kernel version as me, so the easiest way would be to use towel root :
https://towelroot.com/
It is a one click root and shouldn't need much explanation. If this for some reason shouldn't work you could still try CF-Autoroot
NOTE:
Towel Root does not trigger the KNOX counter and you will still have your warranty
CF-Autoroot DOES trigger the KNOX counter and so will void your warranty

Just make sure its for the 16gb variant and its from the same region
Usually if you flash firmwares from other regions theres always a ton of problems related to network signal, battery etc etc

I updated to Lollipop using LG PC Suite and ran it Lollipop for a few days..
The most annoying issues for me were notification access.. I couldn't access the notifications with double tapping on them.. Always had to single tap and swipe.
The battery somehow drains a whole lot more when asleep.. I lost 10% overnight.. horrible!!!
I reverted to my last backup F400k10u by flashing the backup through TWRP. Back on KK and loving it !!! Lollipop sucks! :good:

i also did the same.. i updated thru PC Suite and yes, I'm not satisfied with LP. As if LG did rushed things just to boast that they're the "first" to release LP (except for Nexus phones though). I'm encountering force closes and lots of lag. I don't even see the difference between KK and LP, oh there's one thing... it became worst.. hahaha!
Good thing you're back on KK. I'm much more pleased with KK since i can do most of things i want i even messed my phone and did a factory reset. (forgot to backup my data LOL )
