Since we have a locked bootloader, the only thing we can use is SafeStrap

Your bootloader is locked by Samsung. You can only flash signed firmwares by Samsung via Odin. You must first unlock your bootloader, then you can start flashing custom ROMs or custom recoveries for your phone. Unfortunately, there are no way to unlock it and there are no custom ROMs or recoveries for SM-G730V yet. This CM11 version on our forum is for the international and Latin American variant (GT-i8190/N/L) only.
And you should know that Odin saved your phone near a soft bricked phone

I think none currently working on it. Very less people using a SM-G730V variant of s3 mini. So I think, no, it will not ever be done.
Thumbs up for being helpful! Though the news sucks
Do I need to root s3 mini in order to flash cm11 with odin?
Also why doesn't odin see my phone?
Hello guys. I managed to flash the cm11 and twrp. The only problem is that i don't like the sms app. Is there a way to get the one that touchwiz had?
i don't think it is as easy as it sounds. you can deactivate stock sms app but i don't think you can easili install a new one...
I installed gosms for now but I want the Samsung SMS app

Mods:
Can you make a sub-forum for Samsung S3 Mini 730A? Because this phone is entirely different from international version which is i8930 (something like that) and the rooting processing, and installing TWRP ROM are very different. So far no one was able to root 730A with any success, only 4.2 not 4.4.2.
Thanks!
did you try to root with https://towelroot.com/ working well on my sm-g730w8 ( same hardware as g730a)

I installed and executed the program and it says, "phone is not supported." I assume you have 4.2.2 not 4.4.2, no?
Thanks.
Is there a rooting method out yet for the Galaxy S5 G900A running lollipop 5.0 ?

Unless of course he updated prior to the root method thread created.
In either case, it appears that with the oc4 bootloader you can downgrade to root. Look for the Downgrade lollipop thread.
root for Galaxy s5 G900A ?
Could you use odin to flash the stock NDE kernel and then use towelroot to obtain root then flash the 0C4 kernel back ? I used a similar method when i was on 4.4.4 ,any feedback on this, thanks.
Hi,
I am considering to buy a S5 mini - but I would like to use custom ROMs and root. Now I read that the S5 useses KNOX and that there is also a KNOX-counter (seems to be 2 different things).
Is there a way to get root without changing the KNOX-counter?
And - is there also a way to get a custom recovery without changing the KNOX-counter?
(this are 2 different questions and I would love to get an answer for both seperately ...)
It seems like there is no method to get the KNOX counter back from 0x1 but there seems to be a method to get - at least root - without changing the KNOX-counter.
I had been searching around quite a bit but could not really find a definitve answer - plus: I am not a native speaker but consider my english as quite good - but the phrase: "trip KNOX-counter" which is often used in this context (e. g. here) confuses me (checking trip in a dictionary gives you just some funny results) - I assume it means the counter is changed (i. e. ++1)?
regards
at this moment there is no way to get the s5 flashed without void break in the KNOX-counter.

Hi,
thanks for the answer.
I assume that applies to recovery and root? And I also assume that we both are talking about the S5 mini?

ofcourse s5 mini, and yea, flashin a root kernel and custom recovery will touch the knox counter
Kingroot seems to not trigger Knox on the mobiles i have tried(S3 and S4-I9505 and S4-I9506) and (LG Leon), atm i am waiting for s5 mini to arrive and i will test it.
I got a trick to flash recovery without knox counter trip on the other mobiles too which i will try on s5 mini also, i will report back tommorow or the day after.
Try Kingroot at your own risk as always, through it is only root and not recovery too.

I tried latest Kingroot (4.9.3 as of yesterday from apkmirror.com) and no deal (G800H latest ZTO 5.1.1 version, BPE1 basebabd)... If you're successful with your other method, please post. Thank you.

It seems like some S5 minis are supported, others not:
S5 mini is: (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s5_mini-6252.php)
G800F (Europe); G800A (AT&T); G800HQ (Turkey); G800H (USA); G800M (LATAM); G800R4 (US Cellular); G800Y (New Zealand)
Supported is:
samsung sm-g800m; samsung sm-g800f
so - which version did you try?
regards

I wrote before: G800H.
I think the list of supported phones lists G800 for the stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM only, it doesn't work on 5.1.1.
sm-g800f kingroot works without trip knox, my knox is still 0x0, but i cannot get recovery on the same way as the older galaxy with Rashr or Flashify.
Hey how's it going finally upgraded from a Galaxy S4 (rooted/safestrap/rom) to an S5 after almost 4 years.
Trying to root and load a custom rom on Galaxy S5 G900AUCU4BOF3 the guides say to first downgrade to OF3 that is on Android 5.0 (which is what I am on) to a pre-rooted OF3 - would I be safe to try to run Kingoroot or towelroot then use Chainfire to load a custom ROM without flashing a pre-rooted OF3 first?
Thanks
Nevermind figured it out guys thanks anyone who looked.
