Hi,
I want to root my device, which i have upgraded recently to 4.1.2
the thing is, I found some information in root threads regarding build no. like XXAMA1, XXAMA2, XXAMA4 ...etc
what are the differences between them? if all of them are 4.1.2 JB?! will anyone work?
to make it easier, which thread can work to root my SG3mini device:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: I8190XXAMA3
Kernel version: 3.0.31-860525
Build number: JZ054K.I8190XXAMA3
You can just root the one you got. No need to re-flash the whole rom.

Here is also a very good explanation on these PDA/PHONE/CSC codes.

can you root with a 4.1.1 custom version on a 4.1.2?

Yes you can, but only if you make a factory reset first. Otherwise you'll have bootloops or force closed apps.

now i have a official firmware 4.1.2 ,baseband I8190XXAMA2.before this i had a rooted 4.1.1 by avicoh.but my phone didnt boot anymore,so i flashed with the official 4.1.2 and after that with PARAM.
so now i need to factory reset,but the one that i now have isnt the one that came with my phone from the store.doesnt it give any problems when i factory reset?

No it shouldn't be any problem. Factory reset makes sure there is no leftovers from previous install. Clears cache, settings, user data.

the one that you have http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178346 is this a root version?for the netherlands?can i use it on my phone?
Just flash a wipe.tar and then your firmware.
I never had to flash param.lfs to get it boot.
Once I had to pull the battery and power on again when it got stuck on boot after flash.

i did used it once that wipe.tar but get stuck on bootscreen.
do you need to wait long on bootscreen while flashing with wipe.tar?
and how does it work?just odin>pda,select wipe.tar>start?

Yes flash as pda. It's basicly the same as a factory reset.
If your phone reboots after, just put it in download again and flash firmware.

Afaik the param.lfs is mostly just a bunch of pictures. Don't know what it does, except loads the phone with startup/downloadmode pictures.

i dont get it.i have my 4.1.2 rooted now,but after flashing ,my phone doesnt boot.it only boots when i flash the PARAM file.i restarded my phone to check if that works and that works fine.i dont think this is a big problem,is it?
at first sight everything works fine.
WIPE doesnt work,and factory reset doesnt work either.is there a option to do this manually.i have clear master,is that the same?

thank you tys0n for your replies! i kept my CSC, didn't change it.. since i'm already having 4.1.2 (last firmware for s3 mini till now)
and followed this way to root my device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150979
and it worked
the only thing is, this way increased the flash counter! i dont know how is this bad, but i guess just if i want to give it to someone to check it, they will know, right?!
BUT I found other rooted ROM that they will reset binary count after flash to "none"! and will show firmware as "official" instead of "custom"..
anyway, good to learn and i'm saying all that just in case any noob like me saw this thread in the future maybe they can find one useful info or two
sorry TerenceTP7 that i can't help you.. still new to those things..
and thank you again tys0n
Sv: [Q] for 4.1.2 root, what is the difference between build no.?
Search triangle away here on xda. It's an app that will reset your binary count to zero

I got boot loop on step 3.
Thats for the android S no wonder youre bootlooping. Hope its not hard bricked. Do as they said download a full FTF and flash that.
No problem dude
Just flash the proper ftf file and volla
New as you buyed it
Want to root it, use towelroot, install supersu but not from playstore and then install busybox installer from playstore and you're rooted

I'm trying to find the stock rom for the Xperia SP but it's not easy.
Open the back and turn off the phone using the little reset button inside (hold until is vibrates 3 times).
Then find a 205 version of the firmware (any will do really) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964 and then flash using flashtool. Hopefully it will work then and flash the ROM.
Then find a proper guide for xperia SP and try rooting again with towelroot.

I'm from india hence I am using. 205 ftf generic IN
And it's rooted
Find the appropriate ftf, download it
Download the flashtool, place the ftf in sub folder named "firmware" present in flashtool folder(where you've installed it)
Connect your phone in flashmode I.e press power down while you connect your phone to the computer (make sure phone is switched off before you do that)
Hit the thunder button, flashmode must be selected, press OK
Select the ftf and volla!
If it disconnects, keep trying coz it happens sometimes

Thanks for the help, I'm downloading this "Sony C5303_12.0.A.1.257_РСТ", none of them seem to have 205 in their names so... I hope this works.

OMG guys!! Thank you so much for helping me, the phone is now booting fine! But please don't leave me to do this alone, I'm dangerous when left alone
But I don't think I need hand holding, all I want to do is 1) root 2) unlock bootloader so that 3) I can install cyanogenmod (it seems to be the most respected custom rom).
OK so you guys mentioned towelroot I will now go look into what this is and how to use it. Thanks again!

You don't need to unlock bootloader
But if you do be careful
You'll lose DRM keys and is not reversible

I really don't know if installing CWM is a good idea or not, I see this guide but it's not clear which files I should download.
I found a Cyanogenmod thread earlier for locked bootloaders on these forums, I'm gonna try to find that now and install it.
