[Q] S3 mini AMA2 safe root - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello dear XDA Community,
since I got my I900 a while back XDA became my most valued page when I tried another ROM or simply when rooting my device and, way more often than I liked it, when something broke. So far a registration wasn’t necessary because I could find my answer anyway.
But since I got my new phone, S3 mini I got very cautious when it comes to changing anything on my device. I’d like to root it to start off but it seems I can’t find a proper way to do it for my phone.
My Phone
Model: GT-I8190
Android: 4.1.2
Bandversion: I8190XXAMA2
Kernel: 3.0.31-809600 [email protected]#2 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 9 16:20:48 KST 2013
Build: JZO54K.I8190XXAMA2
I’m from Germany and my carrier is O2 but the phone is not branded and has no SIM lock.
So to get back to business: Is there a stable and working method to root my phone via Odin (my preferred way)?
Thanks in advance

You can flash cwm in odin, then flash supersu.zip with cwm.
It will increase your custom binary download but triangle away take care of that.
Then I believe a factory reset will get your system status back from custom to official.
Otherwise you can just flash a prerooted Stock rom.

AW: [Q] S3 mini AMA2 safe root
Will it be rooted than? So that i can use i.e. titanium backup with all features?
And where do i find a fitting cmw version?

Why wouldn't it be rooted if you root it?
Pre rooted firmware I8190XXAMA2 4.1.2 (OXX multi-csc, PDA: I8190XXAMA2, CSC: I8190OXXAMA2)
I believe theres a searchfunction in this forum as well

AW: [Q] S3 mini AMA2 safe root
Tank you very much!!
I did infact use the search and also found posts about rooting the s3 mini but never for the ama2 and this is why i opened this thread.

You will not get ota's unless you do a full wipe so the csc will change to Germany

Hi all, just as a confirmation to me being very new to this :
Using odin to flash this ee rom will still allow my device to get OTAs with the assumption that a full wipe has taken place.
Is the above correct?
Thanks a lot for your time

[Q] need help to root my device

My Version is:
AP: I8190XXALK6
CP: I8190XXALK6
CSC: I8190OXAALK6
is there any way to root it without increasing binary counter??
please help
There's a lite rooted version in development section I think. Or asked faria he may do a rooted ROM for you if asked nicely.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium
yeah but its I8190XXALK6_I8190XEFALL1
i have CSC: I8190OXAALK6... is there problems whith another CSC?
What region firmware is this.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium
i dont know. buy in germany
how can i see that?
PM faria and ask if he can port the rooted ROM for you, he might just help you. Do you need German firmware or are you from elsewhere in Europe, if so there's German rooted firmware in development section see below.

Go here.
Hi all S III mini I8190 owners with German Firmware.
I have added the SU binarys and SuperSU App to the original Rom (I8190XXALJL_I8190OXAALJL_DBT_SamMobile_DBT), nothing else.
Many thanks to "avicohh" for his guide and links to the needed scripts
This rom is primarily for GER unlocked devices (DBT)
- Flash via Odin in PDA-Mode
- no wipe needed
- no factory reset needed
- not increase your download binary count
- no warranty lost
- OTA-Updates will not work
base on last build for now - XXALJL
VERSION: 4.1.1
PDA: I8190XXALJL
PHONE: I8190XXALJL
CSC: I8190OXAALJL
Download this two parts and unzip with 7Zip.
Part1: https://hotfile.com/dl/185500946/8c26b01/I8190XXALJL_I8190OXAALJL_380934_DBT_root.tar.zip.001.html

As I am not allowed to post to development-related forums I am asking this question here: I wonder this rooting method will increase the S3 mini flash counter?
Many thanks.
No thats only if u flash custom ROMs or Kernels, it should be okay.

Cant use odin ... Need another way

I bought a new white n7000 with gingerbread installed on it , so i updated hoping that itll be jelly bean after that but nope , it got 4.0.4 ics instead , now i read that i must not wipe or else ill get super brick and i will need mobo replacement. I read a couple of guides to install jelly bean thru odin but my macbook is sent for repair and is back within 2 weeks. Is it possible way to upgrade with that update with zip option i saw in recovery ? And can someone recommend me a good jelly bean build cause i read that each build is different , one is better than the other with performance

You could flash the corresponding PhilZ kernel from Original Development which is brickbug safe. Then you could get Mobile Odin Pro from the Playstore and use it to flash a rom that comes as a .tar file. Or you could get a custom rom that comes as a flashable .zip file and flash it through cwm.
I recommend you either the latest stock rom LT4 or Joosh3s Ultimate JB based on LT4. The stock rom can be downloaded from Sammobile and Ultimate JB from the corresponding thread in the Development forum (not Original Development). I hope this helps.

PhilZ kernel is flashed in recovery (either stock or cwm, download the zip version). There are versions for all roms, just use the one that matches your rom.

Ill attempt the stock recovery method , no chances of bricking?

Hi.
I had a problem with Odin too, but my way of getting out of the trouble was using Philz Kernel and then standard CWM Recovery, which I find the easiest way to pimp my Notey Note after leaving my old LG Optimus Black Since then, I never went back to trying to use ODIN in anything. Also as far as I know (but I might be wrong), using CWM doesn't raise the counter (famous yellow triangle indicator).
Hope I've help in any way
hi , actually I update my note gt-n7000 to gellybean but its worse update I ever had....i want to degrade me phone to gingerbread which I had previously used. but I had didn't find any single update available for my phone ON INTERNET which had same baseband i.e N7000DDLR1 , Build number i.e IMM76D.DDLRB, Android version 4.0.4 and kernel 3.0.15-1163394 [email protected] dell171 #3 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 5 17:29:14 KST 2012.......AND I had tried so many update from Sammobile.com by using Odin 3.0.4 but every time its useless for me.... can u help me to go to previous update..please help me...thank you.

[Q] Optus branded GSM P1000

Hey guys,
I've always had bad luck with Samsung devices, so I figured I should ask here before I start flashing.
It's a GT-p1000 on 2.2, I want something newer - Jelly Bean, ICS, whatever. Something stable.
Baseband
P1000XXJID
Kernel
2.6.32.9
Build
FROYO.XWJJ4
I know how to root, I know I need to install ClockwordMod Recovery. Which ROM can I definitely use without bricking? I've read mixed things.
Cheers
