Samsung S4 Mini LTE i9195 - Stock ROM with Stagefright Security Fix

Just upgraded to the latest Stock ROM for Europe I9195XXUCOH2:
samsung-firmware.org/model/GT-I9195/
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9195
sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9195
When running Stagefright Detector it only shows the following red vulnerability:
CVE 2015 6602 - Requires clicking a web-link, that opens video in the web-browser.
P.S. Had to flash twice as the baseband didn't upgrade the first time, and caused WIFI not to work (Would not turn on).
P.P.S. Used the O2-UK ROM and it changes the bootup-screen and also replaces the Google App Store with its own. Had to manually install Google App Store.

Gives me hope that there will be a fix later for stage fright v2. Though this release was 1 and half months after it was compiled so.... Also the fact O2 has released this but Samsung has yet to release the updated unbranded software is a bit of bull. Phone manufacturers and Google need to get their ass in gear..

Just updated to I9195XXUCOI5 (Spanish), and now Stagefright Detector shows all tests as green.
Also the bootup-screen is back to normal, along with the Google App Store.

Did you (have to) factory reset after flashing?

I flashed on top of my existing 4.4.2. Stock ROM, and just had to re-root.
But I guess it would be a good idea to make a backup of text-messages and other stuff.

Hi. My phone was rooted and when i checked it through stagefright except two all were red. And after i saw your comment., i flashed my phone but with original stock rom. and did reset and everything. Still same options are red.

Guess I have a special phone, or maybe something went wrong when flashing. Just re-verified that I have the latest version of stagefright detector from Google App Store, and all tests are green.

Going to try this tonight when I get home. Currently running the UK O2 firmware, but all but one of the patches shows green. Fingers crossed this new Spanish ROM will be green across the board.
This has really p!&&ed me off! Android phone manufacturers are sooo slow to update their devices. I can understand that some updates like new looks are over looked for older devices, but when it comes to security THEY have a duty to keep their products secure! There needs to be a new system for security updates. This stage fright bug is HUGE in my opinion. Phone manufacturers really don't give a sh!t about their customers, its all about the money. I never had these worries on my Nokia 3310...
I'm so concerned that I'm seriously thinking about getting an iPhone, much better software ecosystem. I just hate IOS compared. It's that or be forced to buy an expensive galaxy S6 or maybe a Moto G 2015 which I've heard has software updates comparable to the Google Nexus phones, which I personally think are a bag of crap...
Samsung being such a BIG concern in the smart phone world are just crap for software support.
I know there are custom ROMs that offer regular updates and the latest patches, but for me NONE of these are stable on my 5 month old device to the point where they can't be run as daily drivers... That and you lose any warranty you had, which is 2 years for Samsung....
Now I'm stuck with laggy stock OS, and I'm regretting getting this phone on contract.
If people were more aware of how insecure there phones really are I think they might not so easily choose android or at least the hundred odd older devices still available for purchase.
I'm so angry its funny... I'm one click away from dumping Samsung for the foreseeable future...

I also have 4.4.2 stock.
I am concerned of the difference between CSCs, that there might be strange behavior. So you flashed, didn't reset and everything's fine, no force closes & stuff?

I did format the cache-partition and also cleared the dalvik-cache.

Thanks for this info, did not see that before.
From the information at Samsung Firmwares Database, the last Spanish ROM is not for LTE? or ist it also fine for LTR?

I have a S4 Mini LTE and the spanish ROM works fine with mine, and gives me 4G connectivity.

I am hoping for further firmware updates. Everything is red for me except two, as mentioned by someone else. I updated to the latest firmware from May on Three. I thought it was confirmed we were going to get version 5 of Android on the S4 mini... still waiting. I had 4.4.2 before from my last update and then this new update is ALSO 4.4.2...... What got updated? Just patches on things or something? No upgrade of the OS?

Very certain that S4 Mini will not get Android ver. 5.
This is my device status:
- Android Version: 4.4.2
- Kernel Version: 3.4.0-5878679 (23 Sep 2015)
- Build Number: KOT49H.I9195XXUCOI5
Think it is only security fixes, and system-app updates.

No Stagefright with the Spanish Stock ROM anymore
WIth the Spanish ROM no Stagefright Security problem as of today anymore. :good::good::good:
(My only problem is now, that the phone is getting quite slow, maybe some app . . . )

Have now updated to the latest I9195XXUCOJ1 (TIM), and it feels a lot faster.
Sadly enough the preloaded TIM-applications fills up the entires System-partition, so if wanting to install other apps, then one have to cleanup a little first.
For some unknown reason the Xposed Framework Installer will not install, and gives the following warning:

EDIT: OK I tired this stock rom with xposed and like yourself it doesn't want to install the framework.. The patch from Lombartz thread doesn't work with stock roms. It's got to do with sine new security patch. I'm thinking maybe an older version of the 2 files affected might work. Going to try later. That or ask Lombartz what he did to get it working.
Maybe try the fix for xposed from Lombartz in his cm11 rom and kernel thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sh...ht v2)(ECOACTIVE & ECOPLUG)(OC/UV)(20151116) Might work on stock rom too.

I have installed the latest Stock-ROM I9195XXUCPA1, and it works good.
I have tested with AndroidVTS v.13 and it shows that CVE-2015-6616 remains red (All other tests are green).

Bit early considering we aren't even positive what the final product's hardware will entirely be Can't wait though

can't wait too that's why i have written xD i don't know what to buy, my s6 is the worst phone for modding and updates, 1 year and i still have not rooted anything! I was getting used to root the first day when i was buying new phones don't want my next phone to be like s6

Exactly that's what I'm afraid of, too. If I decide to buy a new phone, I'd like to compile ROMs for it by myself, too, but therefore the vendor, device and kernel tree need to be published by HTC. I've just been looking around how custom development for the HTC One M9 looks like. Although I couldn't find many ROMs, there are official Cyanogenmod versions and open device and kernel trees. Thus I could compile many ROMs for the One M9. This gives me hope regarding the HTC 10. The Galaxy S6 instead didn't have no huge moding posibilities. There's only an unofficial, unstable device and kernel tree alongside a bugy CM-version. Just like the S6 the S7 probably won't get huge development support as well. This is what gives me hope regarding the HTC 10.
The only question I'm currently asking myself is if I should buy the HTC 10 or wait for the Oneplus 3 which will be published later in Q2 2016. Compared to the OP2 and OP1 it'll be a bit more expensive but it'll also be better equiped. Furthermore the price will probably be much lower than the price of the HTC 10. What are your expectations and what have you been able to definitely find out so far?

I'm still tryng to figure out what to do...lg has dropped support for rooted or bootloader unlocked device in italy, and the g5 seems to be a bit strange te me, i mean, it's not as premium as g4..regarding oneplus devices, for the 1 and 2 i read about bad screens and something else wich i don't remember, never saw one...i'd prefer staying on a strong brand...samsung obviously is exhiliated from any decision...sony maybe but no xD never liked the screens in the past...
My old nexus 5 make me wish about a decent nexus around 5" screen, I'd really love it, especially powered from a snapdragon 820 cpu..
Mi5 is lovable, but, you know...it's xiaomi...china brand, china support, 30 days for travelling a device if something happens, and that is for 2 times...its frightening xD
Htc 10 seems to be the best choice, ut will surely be premium, even if it does not have a good camera i don't care, just bought an eos 700d xD i just hope there will be a lot of modding, that is why i asked here
Htcdev.com is still working good for all the other htc, it must have decent modding, i think I'll go for it. At least, that's what I'm thinking now...but who knows

Yeah, Xiaomi is a brand I've been looking at over the last two years. I recommended Xiaomi phones to friends who wanted to have good and cheap devices. They are lucky all together but the only phone by Xiaomi I'd buy is the Mi Note Pro as a phone should have 5,7 inch in my opinion. I'd also like to have an AMOLED-Display in my next device so I hope HTC will release a bigger version of the 10 as well. The LG G5 is not really what I am looking for since it's a bit strange to have several components you can choose from. I think I'll buy a OP3 when it's published as it'll probably be more developer friendly but maybe the 10 by HTC will convince me, too. I'm really excited about the upcoming devices especially because my Nexus 4 from 2012 becomes slower and slower. Very anoying. Maybe a new Nexus will be released at the Google IO this year. This would be awesome. Anyway, I hope the potent upcoming phones will come sooner than later as I don't know how long my N4 will survive.

Very informed you guys are. I like this thread cause' I think a lot like you.

Also looking for an answer on this: I was tempted by the Galaxy S7, but the huge issues I've had running anything but TouchWiz based ROMs on my S4 (and so issues running anything Marshmallow based) have put me right off.
How easily moddable have HTC phones been in recent years?

The M7, M8, M9, and A9 are all very easy to do basic modding on. Getting s-off and deep modding is a different story. On the M8, at least, you can flash custom ROMs and kernels without s-off, so basically everything most people needs

does it mean that with m9 if you do not s-off you can't touch system, boot or recovery partition? ( i'm still leaving in the time when you did fastboot oem unlock and everything was ok )

No, the things you can't do without S-Off are:
*flash unsigned firmware packages
*flash firmware packages that don't match CID/MID
*flash RUUs that don't match CID/MID
*change CID/MID
*restore "locked" status (without you can only get "relocked" status)
*restore "software status: official" flag in bootloader (flag sets to "software status: modified" if you flash anything)
What you can do without S-Off:
*unlock bootloader (via HTCdev)
*flash recovery
*root (via superSU package or your favorite custom ROM)
*flash ROMs

Is this a big process? Is everything already available? Does any part of the rooting process wipe the device? If so, may make more sense to just do it right out of the box to avoid losing info

TWRP can already be found and downloaded; at least if one will look for it at the right place . I already downloaded it. SuperSU can as well be downloaded for MM devices. By this I'd guess the root procedure can be done as it always has been.

Cannot flash Global ROM to Mi Max 32GB/3GB

This is my first Xiaomi phone and it seemed to arrive with a Chinese ROM on it (V7.3.14.0.MBCCNDC) so I have been trying to change it to a proper official Global ROM with zero success so far.
I have downloaded the ROM from here: http://en.miui.com/download-302.html
Filename: miui_MIMAXGlobal_V7.5.3.0.MBCMIDE_267a7c4439_6.0.zip
If I follow either of these guides (I do not need TWRP, just the official ROM) then I always end up failing at the same part.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/installing-twrp-locked-bootloader-t3406501
http://en.miui.com/thread-307139-1-1.html
I reboot the phone into EDL mode by holding down both volume buttons and then connecting a USB cable after the phone has vibrated and stayed on a black screen. The PC then detects the phone as a Qualcomm device and assigns a port number to it.
MiFlash then finds the port number and I point the file browser to the extracted zip folder named: miui_MIMAXGlobal_V7.5.3.0.MBCMIDE_267a7c4439_6.0
After selecting the clean all radio button at the bottom and then pressing the flash button the status and time elapsed meters start moving and then after a few seconds the status changes to 'can not read from port COMxx' (I have used a few different port numbers so it can be COM10, COM20, COM3 etc).
So far I have tried this on three different PC's, 2 running Windows 10 and 1 running Windows 7, and the result is the same every time.
If I download the update file on the phone, rename it to update.zip and then place the update.zip file in the root of the internal storage drive and choose update from file on the phone then the phone reboots to a spinning circle for a while before restarting normally.
I also tried rebooting the phone into recovery mode from the built-in update app and connected it to Mi PC Suite but that just updated it to V7.5.6.0 MBCCNDE which is another China ROM so its still of no use to me really.
Can anybody help with this? This process really shouldn't be so difficult and I am starting to consider sending this phone back. I have made an application with Xiaomi to have the bootloader unlocked but that can take over a week and tbh I don't really want an unlocked bootloader anyway because I have no interest in custom ROM's, root access or special recovery options.

I have seen many people with that problem and haven't seen any working solution yet...
I understand you don't want TWRP or unlocked bootloader but that's the only way you can get the job done and forget all these buggy Xiaomi tools.
Something else you can try... Google QFILwhich is the Qualcomm flash tool and does the same thing what MiFlash does. Search and read the guides how to unbrick Qualcomm devices with QFIL. All additional files needed like flasher, partitions.xml etc are in MIUI fastboot ROM already. Actually MiFlash is based on that tool I think...
Good luck.

Thanks but I'm a bit cautious about being the first person to try to use that QFIL flashing utility with this phone, especially since this phone stupidly doesn't include an integrated recovery system. I've found a generic tutorial for it but it looks pretty scary tbh.
http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimat...agons-are-unbrickable-qhsusb_dload_qpst_qfil/
Incidentally when I updated the phone using Mi PC Suite it killed the Google Play Services and I couldn't fix them so I did a normal factory restore and it has restored to a standard China ROM (MIUI 7.5 | Stable 7.5.6.0 (MBCCNDE) so clearly the vendor flashed some weird custom version to this before they sent it to me.
Honestly, this thing is starting to drive me insane.

You have to use these drivers for your Qualcomm port: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9oNcsjcOpNHZjI1OWtFSDFfS3c/view?usp=sharing
Delete the original Windows driver and install it again through device manager.

Thanks, I'll give it a try with that driver tomorrow. I did try another driver that I found on Google as well as the auto installed driver because it looked like a communication problem to me.
There's a driver pack on that Xiaomi tips website but I haven't been able to install it because the hosting used by that website is terrible and it just times out.

OK so I think I updated the driver using the one from your link but unfortunately the error is the same.
I uninstalled the device through DM and it self-installed this driver.

Then I used the Update driver > Browse > Let me pick > Have Disk option to force the driver from your link to install so the driver was updated to this:
The error in MiFlash is still exactly the same though: can not read from port COMxx.

OK the problem here seems to be that MiFlash cannot support standard recovery ROM's. It has to use those larger ones with the scripts etc included.
I was able to flash this with no problems whatsoever: http://en.miui.com/thread-324576-1-1.html
However I'm worried that might not be the official software and I want to keep this simple and official and get all updates OTA in future.
Unfortunately the only global full ROM available for this phone on the MIUI website is the Developer build.
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
The version I have just flashed also doesn't include locales for the UK or Japan and I spend most of my time in those countries. I've set it to Singapore for now but I feel like I'm right back to square one with this thing.

From what I read official MIUI Global is missing many locales and that's why people are using xiaomi.eu ROM. I even suggested in there forum to stop calling it global b/c its not and call Asia or something...

The included country list on it is quite frankly bizarre. It includes some European countries but not others and has options for the Falkland Islands and St. Kitts but no option for Britain or the United States.

8/16 if they get it right...

The problem is with no UK locale I don't know if I can get the IR Blaster working.
It's a small problem in the grand scheme of things but still one I would like to fix if I can.

@ Blood Rose - I am assuming so far you've kept the boot loader locked and flashed the global stable 7.5 version - on your 32 GB device? did you lose data - did you get any OTAs (security patches). I am looking to go to miui 8 - possibly chinese - the global development may not be as timely. Also I have the 64 gb version and there's not much going on the global ROM versions for that one.

I did flash a global stable version of 7.5. It's the latest official rom I believe. I did a full wipe to make sure all traces of the Chinese stuff were gone. Because its the latest official version ut hasn't received any OTA updates yet but it at least seems to connect to the official servers to check whereas the ROM the phone came with couldn't.
My bootloader is now unlocked because the MIUI forum staff offered to do immediately for me so I figured I might as well but I will not be using root or any custom builds.

Thanks

That depends on what you want to change it to. If it is a newer/alternative official ROM then that is easy. If it is to a custom ROM then you need an unlocked bootloader.

For custom ROM you do not need unlocked bootloader.

I neither know nor care about custom ROMs. I'm quite sure there is probably a way to circumvent Xiaomi's bootloader lock but I was just providing the standard textbook advice tbh.

Hi BloodRose,
Does the Xiaomi ROM support large file sizes, like an HD movie?
I am doing research on the Mi Max before buying.
I am based in the US, and it will not be my primary phone.
Thanks,

I have one of these tablets and would love to use it but the custom rom seems to slow it down. It's Android 7. I have TWRP in it but I cannot seem to find a lighter rom to help speed things up. Any thoughts, suggestions?

Hello, I don't know if you can. This ROM is for devices codenamed gtelwifiue. You should search the forum and find out if the SM-T560 falls under that category.

Anything older than Nougat will probably suffer from multiple security vulnerabilities. Lineage 15.1 is the only ROM I found that works bug free on my tablet (14.1 has camera issues and 16.0 doesn't wake up when pushing the home button).

Hi @tc3500. If you have a previous build of lineage os 15.1 installed you can just flash the new zip in twrp and then reboot. If your tablet is stock, then you need to first root it and then install twrp recovery for the gtelwifiue first. The procedure for doing this is explained in another post on the forum. Please ensure that your model is SM T560NU or else this ROM might not work.

I don't have Lineage and have not used TWRP.
But in will search for the thread with the information.
It has been awhile since I rooted a device. But I should be able to.
Thanks very much for your reply. I appreciate it.

From memory, I rooted my tablet by flashing CF-Auto-Root-gtelwifiue-gtelwifiue-smt560nu.zip using Odin (PDA button)on Windows. Can't remember if that gave me twrp or if I had to install it seperately. Hope this helps a bit.
Note: Enable Developer Options: go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options. Enable OEM unlock and USB debugging options ( Settings -> Developer options )
Note: you will need to have the Samsung USB drivers installed, you can get those by installing the Samsung Kyes software.
Note: Make sure your device is in ODIN download mode (usually you can get there by holding VolDown+Home+Power when the device is turned off)
Backup of my twrp recovery in case you need it.

You're welcome. I hope you succeed at installing LineageOS 15.1 on your tablet. If anything goes wrong, you can download the original firmware for your device from the sammobile.com website and flash using 0din.

I have all of the files downloaded to my laptop.
And that took some time. I got a Note 9 last year and I rarely even turn my PC on anymore. So there were many updates and and misc things to attend. Also it is frustratingly slow compared to my phone, haha.
I do need to get CF Root.
But my concern is that my Tab E is a Wifi model. And I am not sure how to verify if it will accept this modification.
It is definitely an SM-T560NU. Specifically an
SM-T560NUUEU1CQK2. I think it's an A3L, not a
gtlewifiue. So I am trying to figure that out. I backed up the device and don't mind trying to move forward if there is more of a chance that I can at least recover it to oem rather than brick it. Any advice on verification of model or recovery if install fails?
Only a guess or opinion, I know that there are no guarantees, lol. But it is very slow and I do need to make my best attempt to improve it.
Thanks.

From what I gather the letters and digits that follow SM-T560NU describe the carrier or the country of origin but I could be wrong.
I can't advise you to try or not to try flashing this ROM but there is near certainty that you can restore your original firmware from this site using the Odin method if anything goes wrong as I've mentioned in my previous post. If what you're after is speed you could even flash an older firmware (lollipop or marshmallow) and disable auto-update but you'd be left exposed to multiple android security vulnerabilities that aren't present in this updated ROM.

I keep the tablet pretty clean. It's an 'extra' device.
Don't really store anything on it. Use if for the web and take it on the boat or guests can use it. I will gl with 15.1 and see what happens. Thanks so much.
I did get the Firmware downloaded, that site is SLOW if you're cheap like me, haha. Hope your day is a good one.

When I did mine almost a year ago, I rooted first, then I flashed the TWRP img from an app such as rashr or flashify (might have to install the SuperSU app first to get the permission dialogs). Then rebooted into recovery and flashed lineage from there. But now I'm wondering if you might be able to flash TWRP directly from Odin without needing to root first. I wish someone with a fresh experience could chime in here.
Anyhow here's a video I came across that might be helpful to you:
Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6 Root & Install TWRP Recovery 100% Working
And yes the SamMobile site is painfully slow but it is a lifesaver if you brick your device. Once you have obtained the firmware, it is really easy to recover your device with Odin.

Question Lack of development?

There has been 0 talk about any ROMs or development for the OP9 and it's been over a month since release. Does anyone know if any developers are working on one??

The OP9 and OP9 Pro don't even have unofficial or official TWRP support yet, so a custom ROM is kinda out of the question until TWRP is on the devices. OP9 Pro literally just got it's first custom kernel 2 days ago. I don't know what the time frame is for custom ROM development but a lot of it hinges on getting TWRP support for the phones.
Side note: You said OP9 in the OP9 Pro forums so I'm gonna assume you were referring to the OP9 Pro. Regardless my statement about needing TWRP support first applies to both phones.

TWRP is absolutely not necessary and will most likely never come out for later OP devices, including the 9, unless they figure out the decryption problem. See the 8's etc, plenty of dev and none of the TWRP.
Regarding dev, it's happening, but no need for discussion here until something is at least in a semi-stable beta build.

I apologize for my lack of knowledge of what happened in the OnePlus 8 scene as I didn't have that phone. I came from the 6T. But looking through the 8, 8 Pro, and 8T forums, it seems a custom recovery is still needed for custom ROMs. Only difference was the custom recovery was provided by the ROM Dev and not TWRP.

It's early in the game.... will be happening!

We don't have a TWRP build yet, I've been looking to build one but there's a problem with Android Image Kitchen which should hopefully be fixed soon, I'm guessing that's why no-one else has built a recovery. You can read more about it here.
Custom roms are kinda a non-starter without TWRP (or another custom recovery)
OnePlus has been messing up with their source for a while now too, not to mention that we're still getting regular updates to the original release which might mess with kernels too.
We might be another month before you'll start seeing enough stability to start getting custom roms.
EDIT : Looks like AIK might be working properly now, gonna have a look and see if I can get a TWRP build working, although there's no other phones with the same resolution so that might be a problem to get some resources. LG G3 has a similar resolution but not exactly the same, it's very important for the touchscreen setup for TWRP or else the buttons on screen won't be where you're actually tapping.

To add to what @craznazn said, a custom recovery isn't 100% necessary for custom ROMs. The 7T didn't require it to flash any, as a fastboot method is doable. Developing them is another story, though. Some custom ROMs were based on OOS, while AOSP ones still had some bases from OOS (YAAP, for example, was a Pixel-themed ROM but required you to have OOS11, in some shape or form, installed prior to flashing it because it needed vendor files and so on.

Portions...? As in dimensions? It is true the screens are different sizes, as well.
In regards to OP's post that there's been 0 development talk, well, not exactly zero, as unlocking and rooting, as well as conversion from T-Mobile to global, enabling dual-SIM, and the MSM and QPST tools needed for such, have been ongoing for some time. There's no custom ROMs, sure, and I get that a custom kernel was just released, but a massive part of development is simply discussion, throwing around ideas, research, testing, etc. It also helps if more devs happen to purchase our particular device (and thankfully this is something we won't have to worry about for long). It's worse when a device gets little to no development because it simply isn't popular enough to warrant much development. I do get the sentiment that it's been a while, but I guess we'll just have to be patient.

Partitions sorry typo. Also they just released kernel sources not very long ago. In order to build you need these. The dev here had this up and running on his device for a while, but just like ROM devs the first two or three bases they make are not for public and take a long time to work out bugs. Secondly twrp is not required to flash a custom ROM did it via fastboot on my op7tpro. Development is up to owners. You have an unlocked bootloader and kernel sources. If everyone is *****in about development start developing. Download a Linux distro or wubi and and build one for the community. Everyone *****es and doesn't contribute.

Op8 doesn't even have a working twrp for A11 yet. So that's not it at all. Twrp does nothing for our devices as far as roms or kernels. You flash a kernel through a kernel manager and All the roms flash through fastboot & fastbootd. That's def not it. But it will however take time. We need msm tools prior to messing with things anyway. Or we will all be in a brick like state. And a main dev for aospa which is Paranoid Android has a 9 . That will be soon I'm guessing.
