SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 MINI firmware video

LineageOS continues CyanogenMod case, resulting in new firmware for Android are available for a variety of users. For example, 5-year-old. A similar procedure decided to do and for Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9192 Mini Dual SIM (Serranodsdd).

Once again, I am convinced that it is better to choose one of the most popular smartphones around which the developer community will be. Ideally, it is now better to choose a smartphone on Android only if it immediately goes with Android 8 Oreo (and not with the previous version updated to Android 8 Oreo) and meets the requirements of Project Treble. Such smartphones are required to load on Pure AOSP (Android Open Source Project), so alternative firmware to them are developed much faster. Plus Project Treble helps that manufacturers of smartphones can separate their own addition to android, which favorably affects the frequency of firmware updates as a whole (though, without a smartphone manufacturer, official firmware can not get anyway).

Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9192 boasts the presence of the official firmware of LineageOS 14.1, let it have near the Nightly assembly, and not the firmware, calculated to stable.

How to install Android 7.1 Nougat firmware for Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Dual SIM (Serranodsdd)
CAUTION: When flashing the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Dual Sim (SerranodsDD), something can always go wrong. Also note that the instructions are written for S4 Mini Dual SIM You can only apply it for this version of the smartphone.

Before flashing, be sure to back up contacts, photos and video files, as well as documents from a smartphone.

Install Heimdall. Some Samsung devices use the Download Mode loading method, which is very similar to the "FastBoot Mode" for devices with a unlocked loader. HEIMDALL (Windows, Linux, MacOS) is a tool for interacting with Samsung devices in "Download". The preferred method of installing an alternative recovery environment (Custom Recovery) - through the boot mode when it does not require the availability of root access.
To install Heimdall in Ubuntu 17.10, it suffices to dial the following in the terminal:
Sudo Apt-Get Install Heimdall-Flash Heimdall-Flash-Frontend
Alternatively, Heimdall in Windows can use ODIN. Also, firmware can be installed using the TWRP or ClockWorkMod Recovery recovery environment (CWM).

Download TWRP recovery environment in format.img. I used TWRP-3.2.1-0-Serranodsdd.img.

Turn off the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9192 Mini Dual SIM (SerranodSDD) smartphone.

Load the phone in the "Download mode" mode, for which you press the "Home" buttons, reduce volume and power (release when a warning appears on the screen. "Warning: A Custom OS CAN CAUSE CRITICAL PROBLEMS IN PHONE AND INSTALLED Applications). Agree with a warning By selecting Continue (Press the volume button). The screen should appear a green robot with the inscription "Downloading ... Do Not Turn Off Target !!"

Connect the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9192 to a computer using a USB cable (you will need drivers in Windows).

On the computer, open the terminal (or the command line) and go to the folder with the downloaded manner, TWRP.
CD ~ / downloads

Install TWRP on the phone, typing in the terminal:
Heimdall Flash --Recovery TWRP-3.2.1-0-Serranodsdd.img --no-reboot
where TWRP-3.2.1-0-Serranodsdd.img is the name of the file with the jumped manner, TWRP. An indicator strip showing the installation progress will appear on the phone. If an error occurs with insufficient rights, in the Ubuntu, the command must be executed with sudo.
Wait until the operation is completed. In case of success, you will see the following text in the terminal:
Session Begun.
Downloading Device "S Pit File ...
Pit File Download Successful.
Uploading Recovery.
100%
Recovery Upload Successful.
Ending Session ...
Releasing Device Interface ...

After installing TWRP, disconnect the USB cable from the phone and turn off the power (I pulled the battery).

Download the phone in Recovery mode, while holding the "Home" button, increasing the volume and power supply (note that in the first case used the volume button, and in the second - increase).

Click "SELECT LANGUAGE", select "Russian" and click "OK".

After loading TWRP offers to leave the system partition. Because Return to the old official firmware does not interest me, and their updates are not foreseen, then I certainly did not leave the system partition by selecting "Svile - Allow Changes."

Install on the computer Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a tool that allows you to send multiple commands to the phone in the terminal. To work ADB, you need to work on the Android smartphone on USB debugging. Commands can be sent both when the phone is enabled and in Recovery mode. Root access to the smartphone to use ADB is not required.
To install Android Debug Bridge in Ubuntu, it is enough to dial the following command in the terminal:
Sudo Apt-Get Install Android-Tools-AdB

Download LineageOS firmware for Serranodsdd from the LineageOS official site. I used Lineage-14.1-20180126-Nightly-Serranodsd D-Signed.zip.
Reset the firmware on the phone to the / SDCard folder / using ADB:
ADB PUSH LINEAGE-14.1-20180126-NIGHTLY-SERRANODSD D-SIGNED.ZIP /
Replace the name.zip archive to the name of your firmware.

Download Google Apps (Google Apps). I used OpenGapps for ARM and Android 7.1 in the Nano version (Gmail, Calendar, YouTube and other applications can always be put later from Google Play) - Open_Gapps-Arm-7.1-nano-20180128.zip.
Reset Open_Gapps-Arm-7.1-nano-20180128.zip on a smartphone:
ADB Push Open_Gapps-Arm-7.1-nano-20180128.zip / SDCard /
Replace the name.zip archive to the name of your Gapps.

In the recruitment environment, TWRP Recovery make backup (backup). This is recommended, but not a mandatory step. I usually ignore it, although of course it's better not to do it.

In the TWRP Recovery restore environment, select "Clearing" (WIPE) -\u003e "Selective cleaning", check Dalvik / Art Cache, Cache, System, Data and clean them.

Return to the main menu by pressing the Back button.

Click on "Install" and select Firmware from the / SDCard / folder. Add an archive with Gapps and any other additional packages. For example, you can add root using Lineageos SU Add-ON (I cost without root solely for the sake of security and the impossibility of using some bank applications from root).

After the installation is completed, click "Cleaning Cache / Dalvik".

After cleaning the cache, overload the phone by clicking on the "OS Restart".

If you wish, you can install TWRP as a system application.

After rebooting, configure the phone by entering including login and password from your Google account (if you are of course installed Gapps).

Profit!

If after flashing everything works, but the SIM card does not see the phone, then you need to flash a new bootloader (Bootloader) and modem (Modem). Similarly, press ZIP archives on the phone and place using TWRP or ClockworkMod.

Before returning to the old version of the firmware or bootloader, make sure that other users have this procedure did not turn the smartphone into the brick.
