[Galaxy S III Mini General] seedrom193:
I don't know if am getting your point ,younhave a 4.4 android version , which means youn are using a custom rom , thus it should be rooted :)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] rdk2k:
the g730 is the at&t variant. it was recently updated to 4.4.2 and there is currently no root available for it.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] seedrom193:
mmm , I get it now this root may not work because of the OS version ...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] t0ne420:
Now I know why it's not letting me get root access.

s3 mini i8190n root

Hello guys this is my first post on forum...sorry if i have some mistakes because i am begginer at english!

I bought a second hand s3 mini i8190n and i want to have root access and custom roms

I read this method of rooting and i have some questions!

Does this work on my model I8190N?

I hear about a method that needs thw sdk tools but i cant find this application...

I want some help...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] seedrom193:
yes it will work on all variants , good luck.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] PaulosChania:
SOS

Guys i have a strange problem! I install the custom recovery with odin but when i try to get into recovery i have the stock recovery not the custom! I do it with the wright way 8 times!!!!! no difference! any ideas? I want help its emergency thank you very much!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] seedrom193:
did you follow the guide of how to access the recovery in the main post ...

if yes , try re-downloading recovery file and odin

and make sure you are putting the file in the right place ...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] PaulosChania:
S3 mini

I follow the guide step by step! I already have 3 different versions of odin and 7 different file of custom recovery! No difference! I have 9 custom binari records!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wonder if the problem is than my s3 mini I8190n is OMN (italy vodafone)

by the way I rooter with another way! But i stiil want to get the custom recovery! Also i need a tip have to have 0 custom binary counts! :/
[Galaxy S III Mini General] seedrom193:
as for the custom recovery I recommend you to download the clockworkmod app and try to install it through recovery not through odin mode .

and for the 0 count , just use the triangle away app from playstore and it will reset your count
[Galaxy S III Mini General] PaulosChania:

[Galaxy S III Mini General] andreavda:
hi guys, eventually I followed the tutorial, however since the root.zip link was broken, I downloaded it from this link:

http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/

it asked me to reboot, I said yes, but then it surprised me when i was asked another question:

"ROM may flash stock recovery on boot."

I could either choose Yes or No, if I chose yes it would flash, if I chose No it wouldn't flash.

Eventually I chose yes, the phone was rebooted, however I checked with "Root checked" and the phone isn't rooted. I'm wondering what happened here.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Vinarnik:
You must instal supersu apk from google play and update su binary in supersu, now is root enabled. And after flash zip file via CWM from your link I click on YES too and all right.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] DV2FOX:
Hi, i'm new to these boards and i'd require some help to root my mom's Galaxy S3 Mini in the most safest way, but there are some probs.. (Did a root to my regular S3 and worked like a charm 1st time,but this case's weird)

First time, a couple of years ago, i've tried to root it via the typical Odin way, but after trying to do so the phone just won't boot up...Sure,it'd show the Galaxy S3 Mini logo then the Samsung Logo with the "Too dee dooo dee doo" jingle,but wouldn't go past that,it'd just go back to 1st base .. Somehow i was able to recover the phone from the DEAD and now it works..

Now my mom's sick and tired of the battery draining really fast, and that's because she has the annnnnnnnnnoying BLOATWARE that always turns on even if you Force Stop it from the App Admin..That's the typical Google Books,etc etc.. Among many other apps nobody would touch (She just touches Watsapp, do photos and that's it!)...And ofcourse the fear comes in. Try to root again

What's the problem then?. Not even google helped me at ALL...Her actual phone has the following:

-Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190 (Free, Europe/Spain region!!!!)

-Android Version 4.1.2

-Base Version I8190XXANA2 (<--- THIS, XXANA2)

-Kernel Version: 3.0.31-1514264

dpi@DELL323 #2

SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 30 20:40:02

KST 2014

-Compilation Number: JZO54K.I8190XXANA2

The prob is, google won't find a way to root the device with the rare XXANA2 thing ALREADY INSTALLED.. It just shows "Update your phone to XXANA2" or similar, but NOTHING about Rooting it!

What i'd like to know is...How can i ROOT my mom's phone while keeping the XXANA2 thing in a SAFE WAY to prevent that rebooting death again to happen?...And in case the rebooting thing happens, what should i do?

Is there a way/tutorial/Step by step to root it without problems,please?..Also,Kies says the android 4.1.2 and stuff mentioned above is the latest, so better not mess with that...Also hope to have the 3G function still working (a MUST)

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] Dobber_S:
Hi guys,

having a problem with rooting my I8190.

I have flashed CWM and even philz recovery for this device with ODIN. flashing is no problem, and it passes every time. but when I try to boot into recovery, it always boots to the samsung recovery!

Ive tried with the button combination and booting into recovery through ADB and it always boots stock recovery.

when recovery boots, it gives the green regular android logo, but then proceeds to "manual mode", with the"applying multi-CSC" messages and the android logo on it's side with the red logo. Then I'm in stock recovery and I can't root my device or do anything else.

any help or suggestions?

I'd rather not flash a rooted ROM, Id prefer just loading a custom recovery and rooting my device with the rest as stock.

thanks for any help.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Dobber_S:
double post, delete please
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Guess.:
Unfortunately this tutorial didn't help to boot in recovery mode

Thx for the work u did
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Warre101:
Hi all,

Probably a bit late to the party but I just wanted to confirm that this method works on my Galaxy S3 mini with this build:

GT-I8190

Android 4.1.2

Baseband version I8190XXANA2

Build JZO54K.I8190XXANA2

CSC I8190LUXANB1

A few remarks that could be helpful for others who want to follow this guide and who are new to rooting like me:

- The .tar.md5 file for CWM does not need to be unzipped.

- I downloaded the root.zip from the link provided at the bottom of post #283 by munnibhai.

- Booting into CWM recovery wasn't possible with the 3-button combination on boot (volume down + home + power); that would put me into odin mode but not CWM recovery. But it did work by using the "adb reboot recovery" command in Android SDK.

- I took care to run both odin and cmd (to issue the Android SDK command) with administrator priviliges. I'm not sure the latter is necessary.

Many thanks to the OP for this guide!

[Galaxy S III Mini General] seedrom193:

rooting shouldn't make your device status custom you must flashed manually a custom or official rom right?

but u said without loosing your warranty in the 1st page is being custom gets u out of warranty
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Custom status wont give you warranty if you go to service, but a rooted device with official status wont give you any warranty neither.

I think this works to get official back without loosing root or anything.

thanks alot as i undrstood i that as long as i didnt put any custom i will be able to unroot
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
As long as you got a binary count of zero you'll have an option to go back to

all official stock and get your warranty back.

Only thing you gain by having everything official while you're rooted is the abillity to use ota and kies for updates, but I think it only works if your pda, baseband and csc (3-letter-country/serviceprovider code) match the official firmware for your country/csc.

Just one note: after first rebooting since rooting, I experienced at least for three times this issue right after I used Superuser: menu and back softkeys stopped working (they didn't even light up). Each of those times I have had to reboot to make them working back. Again, Seedrom, thanks!
