i thought i saw that they have a rooting apk file but ive never heard of it working, u can jus use a friends pc and root the phone though because the rooting files aint even large or take up space
Thanks. I will go ahead n do it on my gfs laptop whenever she brings it. I wish there was an apk but that's fine.

The apk is called Framaroot, but I don't know of it's confirmed working on our devices.

I'd suggest you to wait for a laptop rather than attempt anything not confirmed, because if something gets messed up you can't fix it without a laptop again. So enjoy the bloatware!

Did I say to use it for lagfix?....no but even someone who can't read well can use it to root....literally rooting for dummies
You were having trouble so I tried pointing you I'm the direction for easiest root method...heck you don't even have to know how to follow directions to use it
It's funny you talk down on somebody without even doing your research. If you did you would know that the app doesn't root your phone anymore. Thanks for the help tho I do appreciate it

I have saved on my computer Ryan's z4root.apk from 2-3 weeks ago, that will still Root won't it if I ever need on Stock 2.1.1?
I'd suppose it would - he just had to take out the root feature for some reason. The application wasn't defective.
After rooting my phone and after using it fire about a week something weird happened to my phone, on Sunday the phone restart it itself and when it booted up the phone was stock on the Samsung screen after the metro pcs boot animation. I took out the battery several times but to no avail. It was dead. I finally took it to metro yesterday and they have me a brand new one. I'm more sure if i will root it again though.

I don't know what could have happened to the phone. Its weird because it just got stuck.

Setting phones on fire usually kills them.
Did you try CPR on it? Check if it still has a heart beat.
This is murder!

guys help here, can I upgrade my unrooted stock rom, to a custom rom or a ics stock rom, without wifi or a pc, and you know through a 3g connection?, I cause Kies air only works on wifi ,
thanks in advance
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Go to setting - about phone - software update
uncheck 'wifi only'
then select software update
If your region have any update, you will get it.
But keep in mind in case of any messing you must need PC, so i recommend do it only if you can hold for PC.
I go with getting ahold of a PC..
Possible to OTA update on 3G but it will be painfully slow..
As for custom ROM's see if you can use a friends PC - AS it's handy to have the installation steps there for reference if you've not done much of this type of thing..
Thank you so much master ketan, I'm afraid I can't use a pc since I just moved far away from home, and still new here, and has to make new friends, and anyway wish me luck!!!

Still, it is a bit risky to update to ICS without having access to a computer. If there is some problem will not have access to tools for troubleshooting. I would prefer to wait until having a computer in hand. cheers.

Sorry to say you will need at least access to a computer to get code & submit to HTC for unlock token. Then you can use the tool, even from a USB stick. Perhaps a friend or the library?

So first off, I have been able to put different firmware onto this phone. Up until i did the OTA 4.4(?) not sure exactly but the latest. I didnt realize at the time of this and i tried to put an older version back(4.2.2) and now my phone cannot connect to my computer network and also doesnt show that there is any phone networks connection. Did i brick it? Is there a fix? Remember that my s3 mini is NOT a GT-whatever.
Which file you put in youre s3mini, can you boot in the recovery mode? Sure you had the g730w8?

Well i sort have figured it out, but what i mainly wanted was to root, unlock and then update, but instead i rooted, updated(by accident), downgraded, got a new line on the odin mode on the cell. "bootloader rp swrev:1". and then nothing worked. like no cell reception and wifi wouldn't allow me to turn it on. So from there i got the new firmware from a reputable place, and reinstalled it. Now everything works again, but not sure if i can still root and unlock from this point.
Edit: Yes it is the SM-G730w8, also cant really find a direct answer for "bootloader rp swrev:1" any help with that would be great.
Just toot with towelroot check general section or Google worked perfectly on my g730w8

Thank you. I now have a rooted S3 Mini on Kitkat Original rom. Only one question left, how do you get it unlocked from this point, as i want to use it with a different carrier than original. I has been a while since ive done anything on these newer models of Android and there is just way too many models for this cell. Ive done it before were you get the bml5.img but i cant seem to get it on here. I havent tried any other way yet, and everything looks legit up to this point. Thanks again for the help.
I used canadagsm to unlock my s3 mini it's taked 2 hrs to send me the unlock code on my e-mail adress
