Problems Rooting the S4 Mini



I rooted my S4 Mini a while back using Odin and it worked fine. I recently updated my phone to the latest firmware which I think is 4.4.2 and it removed my root access. I tried rooting using Odin but it would not work. My phone model number is SGH-I257M. I looked up how to root for that model and during the Odin phase, it would be stuck on RESET and it wouldn't say PASS hence when I verified for root it failed.

I was also told that rooting using the method for the I9195 would also work. For this one, Odin does say PASS but when the phone reboots, the phone did not install the S4Mini_kit which consisted the SuperU and the BusyBox hence when I verified for root it failed again. I feel as if I tried everything to my knowledge. It would be great if someone could shed some light in what I may be doing wrong.

Thank you :o
