I don't see much activity around here - but I guess root should appear sooner or later

I'm disappointed cause I sell my SGS2 and buy this S3 Mini instead of S3 which is too big for me, and no root solution yet. And so...I miss very much my old S2 !!!
Come one developers...What are you doing ???

I don't know what it's happening...for S3 the root solution appears before official launch, but for S3 Mini we have to wait...How much ?

Unfortunately, it seems that CF-Auto-Root at least won't work on our phones (this is stated by Chainfire himself here).
Let's hope there's another way...

Whenever i go into recovery mode the phone isn't recognized in Odin. I tried different versions of Odin, i uninstalled kies, i uninstalled and reinstalled the usb drivers but the phone is only recognized in normal mode, whenever i go in recovery mode it doesn't appear in Odin.
Any idea?
you shold reboot into download mod, not recovery mode. (vol down +home +power)

You're looking for the recovery image or the whole ROM?

Easiest would be to download from Sammobile and flash with Odin.

In that mode (secondary download mode) you should be able to flash if Odin detects.
Sometimes you need to keep trying until suddenly Odin detects it, and flash away.

Hi priyana,
I do have the same problem with my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 and I am getting the same screen.
Did flash my device with Odin but the wrong something cwm10.x , forgot which one I used (well done I know )
It is a Vodafone (Germany) Galaxy Tab 7 (GT-P1000).
May I ask some questions:
What do you mean with "flash it away" what do you suggest him to use for flashing?
What is it? A Recovery? A Bootloader ...? And where can one find/get it?
Stupid questions - I got confused while reading thousands of threads on different websites...
But anyway, I would be thankful if you could point me to the right file I could use to flash on my Galaxy Tab ...
Thanks
Hi Hotstart,
I mean flash a stock ROM in Odin once Odin see the tab.
One good complete ROM is gb-stock-save-v5 that Team Overcome packed together.
Follow my signature.
There is that and a PDF guide, you need the page 7 of it for what to put in Odin.
Not for ruthlessbeatle, as this is for GSM P1000 only.

Hi priyana,
thank you for your advice!
Currently I am stuck because in the middle of the flashing process the tab switched off maybe due to a low battery.
But is starting with the secondary download screen again - so I am hoping to be able to load it bit better for the next try.
Will let you know whatever outcome there will be.

Hi Good Day s3 mini User!
I am from SGW and currently just retired SGW to a s3 mini
I read a lot of the way to root s3 mini non of them seem working for 100%.
Some are in chinese word and some only for I8190.
Is there any senior/experience user that have rooted their s3 mini willing to share and guide me to root my s3 mini to use custom rom?
My based band - I8190NDXLL7
Please advice.
Your best bet is to aquire the Samsung USB driver + Odin and flash ClockworkMod recovery onto your phone, you can then install any standard ROM onto your S3 Mini.
I'd say this guide is pretty self explanatory: http://maclaw.pl/installation-guide-golden/
If you want to root your phone you have to accept the risk, there's no 100% failproof solution.
These procedures are tested and proven to work and is relatively hard to hard brick your phone if you pay attention, but you never know.
Basically there are 2 ways to root your phone, install a pre-rooted firmware and root via custom recovery.
The way I like better is via custom recovery, it's firmware indipendent and it allows to do a nandroid backup before installing any "su" application.

Thanks guys, I have successfully rooted my s3 mini.
I am thinking about using the STOCK ROM but those samsung apps that run at startup is eating my RAM.
I need to go to system folder and move out those .apk file from the folder right? Sorry I am still new in Android stuff.
Need some advice.
Thank in advance!

Do not move out or delete any apk on system folder, as far as i know, it will make your phone crash or even softbricked. CMIIW . If you want to disable Samsung Apps, just go to Settings > Application Manager > All Apps > scroll down until you find Samsung Apps. Click on it, and click Uninstall Updates, and then you can disable it. Samsung Apps icon will not appear on your app drawer.

Hello,
so I used Chainfire's original CF-Auto-Root for SM-G900H and the Stock recovery files from SM-G800F (G800FXXU1ANG7_DBT Firmware from Sammobile.com). I was able to have root on the Stock firmware using the attached file via Odin.
BUT: IT WILL MAKE KNOX WARRANTY VOID 1.
If anyone else is interested to try:
Download Mode: (VolDn+Home+Power, VolUp)
Odin PDA (AP): cf-auto-root-sm_g800f-kminilte-xxu1ang7.tar.md5
Auto Reboot
Enjoy rooted device.
It might be a good idea to reflash the original stock recovery afterwards as currently no custom recoveries are available. g800forigrecovery.tar.md5

Hi,
No there is no howto beyond the standard how to make a custom rom and kernel using android kitchen. I simply analysed the recovery image in CF-Auto-Root and took the hardware relevant files and replaced them with those from the stock recovery of SM-G800F, and set the filesystems and sizes appropriately. Most of the magic happens in executable binaries made by Chainfire that are run automatically when recovery mode is started. I do not have their source code.

Thanks for your answer! I was asking because I was hoping to adapt the new G800FXXU1ANGE image from samfirmware but without a howto I won't try this with my s5 mini for the first time (too much worries to brick it :/)

Hi,
The rooting file above should work even on G800FXXU1ANGE. First flash the new firmware normally via Odin. Then after reboot flash the CF-auto-root from above. Only in the last step to get the original recovery back you need to get that file out of the new firmware package.
I can tell you how to make a odin flashable file with just the original recovery under linux. Copy the original tar.md5 file to /tmp and do the following commands
Code:
tar -xf your_original_firmware.tar.md5
tar -c -H ustar recovery.img > G800ForiginalrecoveryXXU1ANGE.tar
md5sum -t G800ForiginalrecoveryXXU1ANGE.tar >> G800ForiginalrecoveryXXU1ANGE.tar
mv G800ForiginalrecoveryXXU1ANGE.tar G800ForiginalrecoveryXXU1ANGE.tar.md5
I hope this helps.
Cheers.

Thanks, it worked great. Is the last step only required if I want to remove root or is it recommended anyways if I want to stay with root.

Hi,
The last step does not remove root. It reinstates the original recovery partition, so in download mode it goes back to everything official instead of custom. One might need the recovery if something goes wrong and one wants to do a data wipe or cache wipe.

Could you plz list what you use to custom recovery/ backup , and explain where efs is , its the entire file system? Does kies do that? Philz seems popular. What did you use to root too please
For me Philz is the best. Efs is on the root ( \ ) of your telephone, you can find it after root. Simply use Es File Manager whit root permission. For root I use autoroot chainfire with ODIN
