[HOW-TO] ROOT/MODEM/FIRMWARE flash GT-I9295 using Download Mode, Recovery Mode - Galaxy S 4 Active General

Phone: S4 Active GT-I9295
This is a collection of knowledge from xda-forum and own experience. Consider information found here as advise to avoid possible issues.
Please give feedback if material presented here helped or need correction. Contributors are welcome and due credit will be placed.
Remember to give credit when you copy advice from my thread.
Qcomm based phones i9295 and i9505 need same procedure when flashing. Files to flash is not interchangeable between the phones. Method to flash any item SUCCESSFULLY in Download Mode using Odin is described in this thread.
Some guides may tell you to flash firmware, baseband or modems twice using Odin in Download Mode to "make it stick" or say there is an "unknown bug somewhere". People usually loose IMEI and/or WiFi because they have entered download mode using wrong method and started flash of modem, non-hlos.bin or firmware.
The reason the flashed file won't stick on first attempt is that you have entered download mode by software reboot menu or holding Vol- while rebooting. Don't enter download mode when phone is rebooting.
Remember that you are responsible for every action you do to your phone.
If you don't have Samsung Kies the Samsung USB drivers is reccomended to install before running Odin and connecting PC-USB-PHONE.
Never run Odin to flash phone in Download Mode on the same PC where Samsung Kies is running. Odin and Kies will fight to gain control of USB connected device. Close all running Kies processes in Task Manager or uninstall Kies.
Some Windows installations need to run a Fix It from Microsoft Support to properly detect Samsung phone even after installation of Samsung Android USB driver.
Always connect phone directly to 5V-powered PC USB port - never USB hub.
Use original USB cable or make sure it is in good condition. Cable working for charging can have broken wire making it unusable for communication and file transfer.
GSM modem (modem.bin, *.tar, *.tar.md5) or LTE modem (NON-HLOS.bin, *.tar, *.tar.md5 ) can be flashed using Odin form PHONE/CP without repeating the flash twice.
Download Mode
Why
To flash (change/update) phone recovery, firmware, kernel, bootloader or modem using computer software Odin or Heimdall with phone connected by USB to computer.
How
Completely Power Off , wait at least 5 seconds after vibration or led stop blinking. Now you can enter download mode:
Power + VolDown buttons pressed
Release Power after vibration
Release VolDown when screen turn on
VolUp to confirm
Start Odin as Administrator
Connect USB cable PC-PHONE and make sure ID:COM confirm "Added" phone in Odin
Remark: Home button is NOT USED
Recovery Mode
Why
To flash (change/update) phone custom recovery, custom ROM, SuperSU or kernel by install zip from Custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.
How
Can be entered from the phone reboot menu OR from phone in powered off state:
Power + VolUp buttons pressed
Release Power after vibration
Release VolUp when you see blue text RECOVERY BOOTING.... in upper left corner of screen
Remark: Home button is NOT USED
ROOT
When you have stock recovery and plan to flash a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM (ClockWorkMod) the first time, you need to enter Recovery Mode immediately on first boot after Odin flash custom recovery.
The steps are independent of the stock Android version currently installed on your phone, this is how it's done for both Kitkat 4.4x and Lolipop 5.0x
The steps are also independent of which custom recovery (CWM-based or TWRP)
you prefer.
Advice to use the latest version custom recovery built for i9295 - linked in post #3
WARNING: The CWM built by LeJay back in 2013 on CM10.2 source (=CWM-Recovery-gt-i9295_v1-2.tar.md5) do not support external SD card or Nandroid backup/restore for Samsung Kitkat 4.4x or Lolipop 5.0.x. That recovery is outdated.
Make sure you have minimum 60% battery capasity
1st step - Install custom recovery
Copy SuperSU(latest).zip to phone storage
Power off, Boot phone to Download Mode
Start Odin with AutoReboot disabled, Re-Partition disabled
Connect USB cable PC-PHONE
Odin flash (CUSTOM-RECOVERY).TAR.MD5 as PDA
Disconnect USB cable
Remove phone battery - wait - insert battery
Enter Recovery Mode
2nd step - Install SuperSU from custom recovery, TWRP or CWM
TWRP touch "install" / CWM go to "install zip" by VOLUME buttons
TWRP touch-select / CWM select by pressing POWER button
Browse to and select SuperSU(latest).zip
Reboot

If you wonder what is baseband, baseband version, GSM modem, LTE/4G modem, and find time to read and courtesy to suppress the urge to ask same question recently explained -
... here is a treat for you:
MODEM.BIN and NON-HLOS.BIN HOW-TO flash using Odin
Alternative solution
Thanks @Formhault
What version of modem.bin can you flash?
Thanks @hawkerpaul
Make sure you have non-hlos.bin and bootloader version match:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62994941
Samsung lettercode decoded for firmware/bootloader/modem
Example: I9295XXUCNE4
I9295 = phone model
XXU = baseband (XXU is Global, valid almost everywhere, any country regardless of carrier)
C = baseband build version
NE4 = datecode
Datecode
N = year = 2014 (14th letter of alphabet)
E = month of year (May in this case, 5th letter of the alphabet)
A = build # of that month (10th for, "A", as they start 1-9, then letters)
NE4 = 2014, May, Build 4
NE5 = 2014, May, Build 5
NH2 = 2014, Aug, Build 2
Identify your bootloader
Make sure you have LTE/ audio/ network certificate (=NON-HLOS.bin) version matching your bootloader (=ABOOT, SBL*, TZ) version. Reason explained in 1st post.
NON-HLOS.bin inside the apnhlos partition /firmware and the bootloader is never updated or downgraded by AOSP/CM ROMs or custom recovery flashing. Some customized stock ROMs may mess with the relationship between bootloader and NON-HLOS.bin. Or you have messed up because you wanted to have the latest modem and flashed a *N-- version NON-HLOS.bin on your *M-- version bootloader. This will have bad impact on sound and WiFi functionality leading to you can not activate WiFi.
Earlier versions of PhilZ CWM recovery had an option to wipe partitions
/firmware
(LTE, audio, network certificate, NON-HLOS.bin)
/firmware-mdm
(GSM-modem, MODEM.BIN)
This wipe was not needed because flashing to this partitions overwrite the existing content. Wiping the same partitions without flashing modem or complete stock ROM can render telephone, audio and network functionality useless.
The partitions /firmware and /firmware-mdm is removed from later PhilZ Recovery fstab.
Ref. PhilZ Recovery 6.23.9 change log http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51389599&postcount=3520
Identify bootloader and select corresponding NON-HLOS.bin
NON-HLOS.bin is also called LTE-modem or WiFi-fix when discussed in xda-forum
1. Connect phone from ADB or use Terminal app and do this command:
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
( ADB =Android Debug Bridge )
The output is Samsung lettercode and will tell what version of bootloader you currently have.
2. Select version of NON-HLOS.bin to flash according to 3rd last letter of Samsung lettercode bootloader:
BOOTLOADER 3rd last letter = NON-HLOS.bin 3rd last letter
I9295xxxxMxx = I9295xxxxMxx JellyBean 4.2.x
I9295xxxxNxx = I9295xxxxNxx KitKat 4.4.x
I9295xxxxOxx = I9295xxxxOxx Lollipop 5.0.x​
Not known exactly what's first version of i9295 firmware/bootloader that has Knox feature. Strong indications nominate all KitKat 4.4.x to have it on QualComm based phones. And GT-I9295 has QualComm chipset.
Updating bootloader to a higher version should not trigger Knox 0x1, but downgrade Knox featured bootloader may cause that.
Status of KNOX is shown in Download Mode upper left corner of screen.
This S4 thread discuss the limitation introduced by Knox:

Dear friend,
I read carefully all the tread but was unable to determine weather my device can be TWRP recovered via Odin or not (multirom_twrp_20150215_000001.zip - from your repository).

If you're still running Samsung default recovery start to flash multirom_twrp_20150215_000001.tar.md5 in Download Mode using Odin. Zip packed twrp recovery has built in update script made for updating from custom recovery only. You can use zip packed to update or change only after custom CWM based or TWRP recovery is installed in phone. Zip file can then be copied to phone internal storage or SD card and run from custom recovery to update when you want to update/downgrade or change to a different recovery.
Custom recovery doesn't run tar or tar.md5 files. They are made for Odin or Heimdall flashing.

Though... I am now even more confused X*X*X!!
Still I will follow your lead:
1. I will Flash multirom_twrp_20150215_000001.tar.md5 in Download Mode using Odin
2. I will do NOT Flash multirom_twrp_20150215_000001.zip in Download Mode using Odin, because...

If you have been recovery flashing CM12 5.0.1 lately the bootloader is never touched or updated to any version.
Are you sure you had OB4 lollipop 5.0.1 bootloader?

Hi.
I have a i9295 and I experience problems with log-offs or sim disconnects while wifi is working well.

If yes: where can i get the file required for odin of recovery flash?
Thanks in advance

Shouldn't be needed if you did this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61418876
correctly.
You can do a factory reset.
Read post 1-3 slowly if you need modem.bin, non-hlos.bin or bootloader of right version for you.
ThumbsUp button under every post is free to use in case you're in the mood to show appreciation.

Hi.
I did read and still am not sure about it.
I've done factory reset with every flash but still the problem persists.
Tried a different sim, still on joy.
From the thread linked i can not see where to find the modem for lollipop.
When the mobile disconnects phono tells me ihre some 14 - 16 asu. So service is available.
Drives me nuts.

Samsung SM-T810 keeps rebooting after rooting

Hi all,
I have a SM-T810 with TGY CSC (Hong Kong) and with Android 5.0.2.
My initial plan was to a) root it, b) to change CSC to UK and c) to install 6.x.x.; in order to do it I followed these steps:
- downloaded and installed Odin 3.10.7
- downloaded and installed twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-t810.tar (note: I rebooted the tablet in recovery mode and I saw the new recovery SW installed)
- downloaded and successfully installed smt810_cf_autoroot.tar
but after booting the tablet I have noticed the following:
- a message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" appears the first time
- after it, the tablet is now stuck flashing in cycle the Samsung startup page
- I am not anymore able to get in the recovery menu (the screen stop blinking the Samsung start page and it shows it statically this time) to perform a hard reset.
I have understood from the message above that i have flashed the wrong files, but they seem ok.
How can I get out from this impasse?
Thanks in advance.

Don't flash CFautoroot root. Flash supersu v2.76 with twrp.
CFautoroot replaces your recovery.
You will need to flash stock firmware first to recover. Also not sure why you are doing the previous steps. Just flash the MM firmware.
Thanks ashyx for your quick reply.
I am not an expert on Android rooting, so just to check if I have understood correctly, your are suggesting the following:
a) flash stock firmware first to have the tablet back.
You seems to advice to flash directly Marshmallow (MM) but since it looks like there isn't any official MM
stock release for the TGY CSC, would the flashing of the MM stock firmware for, for instance, the UK CSC work?
b) download supersu and copy in the tablet storage
c) after it, I should install TWRP
d) boot in recovery mode and install supersu from the menu.
Is it correct?
Thanks again

Just try flashing the MM rom as it is. There is only one MM rom at the moment for the T805 and it's German region.
I have flashed this no probs on my international T805 which is originally from Hong Kong.
These are multi csc devices so should install fine. The only partition likely to fail if any will be hidden.img which can be omitted anyway.

Check this page it has some MM stock firmware tars as well as LP for the t810. Maybe you'll find something you can use.

Thank you sir. Amazing is you, works great much better than safestrap and much easier to get into and out of. I hope one day im able to return the favor and help you out with something to make your life easier as you have done with countless people, much appreciated
Thank you so much for all the work you have done here and for injecting this phone with a much needed revitalization.
Now for the first dumb question, what can be flashed? ROMs? Custom Kernel? (Nethunter?) Any idea would ve helpful. Thanks again!

i thinks i updated to "G935TUVS8CRJ1" can i be flash on it?
Quick question. I just used this method to root my phone (v4 bootloader, CRI2 firmware if I'm reading it right). I had been looking at the post [Rom][ALL+CARRIERS_CRF1][Stock_Oreo_Hybrid][Safestrap_Preinstalled]. That one seemed like a good deal because of the followup post on Safestrap flashable zips, like Xposed framework, Extreme Debloater, Dual Speaker, etc....
I didn't consider that ROM because of the big warning Must Be On Stock CRF1, whereas I'm on CRI2 and this looked nicer anyway.
So, just to be sure I understand, now that I've used this method to root my phone I can install all those things and more by using this technique to get into TWRP on my phone. Correct? Further, I can use TWRP in this way to flash anything except a custom bootloader. Yes?
More specifically, all those ROMs listed over in the general Tools Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development forum that say "for G9350 only", I can use this TWRP to flash those on my G935T ?? Is that right?

Should have been aware of what you are flashing a bootloader update is always an attempt to patch something. Usually root related. It is never to benefit the user. The first indication to me would have been a 4 version jump in bootloader versions all in one shot. I warned people all along that a bootloader change would come one of these days and kill root. Sprint seen it months ago. Tmobile and Sprint can now have there cozy little relationship with one another. I feel bad for you tmobile people. Remember when tmobile was the friendly carrier in the dev community along with sprint as well now they are the most unfriendly carrier in the dev community.

Quick question. I just used this method to root my phone (v4 bootloader, CRI2 firmware if I'm reading it right). I had been looking at the post [Rom][ALL+CARRIERS_CRF1][Stock_Oreo_Hybrid][Safestrap_Preinstalled]. That one seemed like a good deal because of the followup post on Safestrap flashable zips, like Xposed framework, Extreme Debloater, Dual Speaker, etc....
I didn't consider that ROM because of the big warning Must Be On Stock CRF1, whereas I'm on CRI2 and this looked nicer anyway.
So, just to be sure I understand, now that I've used this method to root my phone I can install all those things and more by using this technique to get into TWRP on my phone. Correct? Further, I can use TWRP in this way to flash anything except a custom bootloader. Yes?
More specifically, all those ROMs listed over in the general Tools Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development forum that say "for G9350 only", I can use this TWRP to flash those on my G935T ?? Is that right?

Twrp gives you no more options than you had before. You cannot just magically go flashing anything you want just because you have twrp. You can run a stock rom and mod it a little and that is it
How do you know what bootloader you're running?
i can not install this metod .
i have problem with sw. rev check faiL device, can any dody help me & please
i use OS G935TUVS8CRJ1
Does this require the fixes for lag/battery life?

No, if your build number indicates that you're on the v8 bootloader, you're screwed for now. If you like the S7's features, you can grab an Exynos. Those you can root and modify to your heart's content. Plenty of custom ROMs available. It's not too expensive either. It's what I'm going to upgrade to, since I'm tired of this bull with the bootloader, and my glass is cracked anyway. Would probably cost nearly as much to repair as to just buy an Exynos.

That's a false positive by a single antivirus program. VirusTotal gives it clean on 54 out of 56 antivirus programs, and one of those is merely "suspicious," probably because it's a rooting tool.

Thanks for the effort and providing root for T-Mobile. Perhaps I am an unlucky person. By the time I discovered this thread, my phone was already updated to G930TUVS8CRJ1 version. I am wondering if there is any hope for V8 bootloader to root their phone in near future. Here is my humble request if you could provide root for V8 update. TIA.

Thank you. It worked fine on my nougat s7 flat with v4 bootloader. Now I have nougat root. I have a question if I may, Can I use tmp twrp to flash Oreo or one of your, or other roms? Or would I need to upgrade the kernel or something because I can flash Oreo being that I'm on Nougat. Thanks.

working fine.
update: gonna have to switch back to u firmware because even when i unroot the phone, certain games wont work or connect to server. i cant install magisk to bypass safetynet or hide magisk after installing so root isnt even seeming worth it on this device. might as well stick to the u firmware and disable the apps I dont need and disable ota update so that i dont get the v8 bootloader update. It was fun while it lasted.

Currently, I'm pretty sure it is virtually impossible for yout to trip your knox counter by rooting as far as I'm aware the only way to do so would mean you need to unlock your bootloader which cannot be done. Rooting your device will however disable safetynet and knox features such as but not limitted to android/samsung pay ect. This is why it's called east root/unroot though because once you unroot and if you didn't delete knox/google apps, it all should still work. The point of this is of course, so you can modify your phone with ease, then unroot and everything should work properly.
There is a major difference between rooting and unlocking the bootloader.
Just don't do something like attempt to install a custom ASOP rom or kernel that isn't supported by this device since it requires an unloocked bootloader.
I'm so glad I read everything before jumping into anything right away. Haha Verizon and Smart Switch are trying to get me to accept the new update to the V8 as we speak. It's funny how they always seem to have updates when someone like Jrkruse figures out how to let us actually do what we want with our devices. I have learned always read read read before doing anything to any phone unless you want to take an update meant to stop us from doing anything fun with the phones. Good job sir!!

I downloaded the files for unrooting my s7 edge oreoof this OP, and I downloaded the file for step 3 in the unrooting section of this OP.
The zip named S7_S7E_ROOT_UNROOT_ADB_TOOLS.7z that I received from this OP did not contain a setup.exe as well.
The actual root file and process I followed was from https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616

Beware If you update to new V8 bootloader then rooting and everything will not work. You will be stuck on stock possibly for good

I know I'm asking this in two places now... but how do I prevent this? Which firmware version do I *NOT* Update to?
I've finally summoned the courage to upgrade to oreo with the advances in TWRP and such... so I'm assuming I have to flash to stock Oreo....... but which version is the one before v8?
How do I check my version of BL?

Easiest way... Settings>about phone>software info. Look at build number and baseband version. Count back 5 digits. Will either be a 2, 4, or 8
So if I install this U firmware G935UUES4CRH2 I should still be good to root correct? Also, is there any difference between the U firmware and the Latest non V8 Verizon firmware, other than maybe the Verizon bloat? I am running my phone on Verizon just wanted to see if there a difference between the two?

[Galazy Z Fold2 F916U/U1_Snapdragon]-[Upgrade Easily Firmware Using Odin]-[Automatically Root Remove Forceencrypt Patch Bluetooth And Fix Safetynet]

Must Have An Unlocked Bootloader To Do This!
This An odin tar file I have created to flash along with stock odin firmware to automatically install TWRP recovery along with Disable VBMETA image. The tar file will also automatically install magislk root along with remove force encryption and patch bluetooth library file. It will also patch safetynet. No flashing of zips is required
Info For Bootloader Unlocks Can Be Found In Post 2
I Do Not Recommend Mixing Bit 1 With Higher Firmware!!!!
Unless Using Bit Safe Firmware That Is Patched​
Downloads
SM-F916U/U1/W- Model
USERDATA_AIO_F916U_5G_FORCE_WIPE_10_10_21.tar.md5
This will force a wipe of data no mater what.
Full Odin 3.1.1 Bit1 Safe Firmware
F916USQS2EUH9_BIT1_SAFE.7z Thanks @markfm
This are odin files and will safely update all image files too bit 4 and keep bit 1 bootloaders. Unfortunately this will wipe data this is beyond my control as it seems to be a side affect of mixing firmware it causes data not to mount and therefore my AIO will format it. This is full firmware with USERDATA_AIO. This will put you on U firmware. Before flashing I recommend removing your google account and make sure in download mode you are not frp locked
If above USERDATA_AIO_G78*_FORCE_WIPE_NO_BL is newer than the one in this zip use the newer one from above
Odin3_v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD.zip
TWRP Recovery Provide by afaneh92
Be prepared to have your data wiped. The process tries to determine if you do or do not need to have data wipe but as a precaution just assume your data will be wiped. Especially if using U1 or W firmware
