So I'm interested, will our Samsung S III mini get Android 4.2.2, 4.3 and 5.0...
Also I'm interested since I just switched from Xperia Tipo to this phone, I had to check if I can unlock my bootloader with number like this:
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device by checking the service menu. In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu. If you have a tablet, click here to learn how access the service menu.

Samsung devices's bootloaders are not locked. You can flash anything you want.

We believe that our S3 Mini would only get 4.2.2, IF we are lucky

Then have fun, if you are into JB get helly bean

don't try it bro, it won't even boot-up
honestly, if you want custom ROM, just get the T instead of TX
T got more dev support here
i had the wrong decision myself buying a TX(i'm also a flashaholic and a CM fan)
maybe in time, TX wll have more custom ROM but not at the moment

Yup, no CM10 yet for TX, though FXP devs said on their website they will support it eventually.
Hold on to your S3 first bro, it is still better(or on par) than other phones available around. And this year is all about 1080p screen LOL. Wait a bit for those phones when it's already available in the store shelves. And don't forget also about the much anticipated S4 hehehe.

Thanks bro. You know that feeling I was so excited awhile ago. Lol. I see jelly bean isn't available yet for T / TX maybe that's why. Will need to wait first for cm10. I'm sure there will be many cfw available.
But need to sell this s3 before the price go down when s4 releases.
Btw, only differences of T and TX are removable battery and lte right?

I think he meant T got LTE version(TL) and TX got removable battery. I didn't understand it the first time as well.

I just made a good deal and straight swapped my S3 to TX. Damn, the stock fw is 100x better than the S3 IMO. Not much bloatware compared to that, and screen is amazing. Will just patiently wait for JB and CM10 for TX. First off, will need to root the device. How do I determine that my bootloader is unlocked? This is sim-free phone.

See the sticky in all in one thread in q&a section by greg, everything is there.
To quickly know if your phone is bootloader-unlockable, input this in your dial pad, *#*#7378423#*#* then choose service info, then configuration, there you will see at rooting status:bootloader unlock allowed:yes(then you may start unlocking the bootloader on Sony dev site, just follow the procedure there)

No need to root if you are going to unlock your bootloader.
That "rooting status:bootloader unlock allowed:yes" refers to unlocking the bootloader whilst "rooting" the device using the runme.bat method just gives you superuser access.
They are different things,
If you unlock your ootloader, then just flash an insecure kernel, you automatically then get root access.

Oh yeah! I just need superuser access since there's no cm10 yet available. Need to restore my files using Titanium Backup from s3 before.

Which firmware are you on?
If you are not on 7.0.A.0.305 then you need to flash that first. Then follow Black97ones guide to update without losing root.

if you're not familiar yet with flashtool software with Xperia phones and if you don't mind unlocking your bootloader already(which may void your warranty), just go here to Sony dev site and follow procedure to unlock
after unlock, just fastboot an insecure kernel(w/ CWM), i used this -->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922925
then flash this SU binary in CWM -->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35641834&postcount=91
otherwise, just follow greg's advise in Q&A
Thanks, great. Will just unlock the bootloader. Btw, if jelly bean arrives do we need to unroot to recieve OTA updates?

Only other way is unlocking bootloader via htc dev and install some 4.2.2 based rom (not including firmware/radio)
Hi guys, I ordered a mini S3 and should already be getting 2 or 3 days.
I downloaded the CM10.1 in MaclawStudio, but I want the stock odin case of a mistake in the installation or I want to go back. Could you pass me a link to stock and odin?!
Sorry my bad English.

Thanks for the help, hopefully not damaging the cell with the CM10, I already installed the Cm9 on a phone before, but always the fear. I'll have to wait for my phone and get to know which model it (perhaps the L).

the CM10 works on any model but you would lose the baseband L model has and NFC is its the N model

Ok, so I've upgraded to 4.3 and lost my root. As far as I know, to get root on 4.3 I will need unlocked bootloader to flash custom kernel and/or ROM. Unfortunately in the Service Info / Configuration of my phone it says: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO. So here's the question: is there any method of unlocking the bootloader other than official from Sony? Looking at the Xperia Z and ZL forums looks like there isn't, but maybe someone had succeeded on the Z1?
Thanks for any information.
