How do I root?

Hey guys, so I have an s3 MINI GT-I8190L and I was wondering how do I go about rooting the phone? It is currently on android version 4.1.2 JellyBean. Any help will be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hello, try this thread :good:

Your version is 4.1.2 and the rom suggested by Calculating Infinity is 4.1.1, so I think you will have to do a factory reset after or else you might have a lot of force close apps.

You'll have to use Odin.

Would I need to add the PIT file in odin when flashing this or just the PDA md5 file by itself?

Heimdall somehow doesn't read my phone on my Ubuntu partition yet ADB does, yet my Win7 partition has it in reverse (Odin yes, ADB no).

Do you have correct drivers installed?
Do you have Kies closed (also all services)?
Check using another USB cable or another PC...

yeah
use odin 1.84 as they said it's for galaxy mini plus or GT-S5570I :highfive:

maybe but i don't think i'm gonna chance it. I tried downloading Odin earlier with the stock rom inserted into it, but I could not get Odin to work. I had USB Debugging on and i was in Download Mode. Tried everything. Just wouldn't work.

Stuck on DOK2

Okay I recently upgraded from ank4 to the dok2 baseband and bootloader so I could install a Rom that required it. I have been trying to Odin back to ank4 or to go to cod6. Everytime it fails to flash. I have tried re-downloading files and check the md5 also using different USB ports with stock USB cable to no avail. Can someone help me out with this issue please

My understanding is that you can't downgrade after going to 5.1.1. Unless I am wrong, you're stuck at 5.1.1

Oh man for real? Do you happen to know why or if there is anyway at all to downgrade... Well this really sucks if that is the case. Thanks

If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to downgrade?

Yes it's true, once you update the bootloader that's where you'll stay, it happens.

Well I wanted to go back to the hyperdrive Rom, which runs on Kit Kat 4.4.4 and now it won't let me restore my backup that I had created. It just bootloops.
Well then I guess I'm stuck lol. Thank you for the help everyone. Appreciate it

Battery life and full xposed support are why I stay on 4.4.4 (FireKat ). I have gotten far too used to 6-7hours SOT. 5.0.1 was a mess and 5.1.1 is not downgradeable yet so 4.4.4 for me.

Fwiw, there's no reason verify md5 on Odin if the file your flashing ends with .md5. Odin automatically checks it against the calculated sum when the file was created.

Exactly, I didn't know I wouldn't be able to downgrade from 5.1.1 if not I definitely would not have upgraded. Like I said oh well guess I'm stuck

have you found a method to root on the new 5.1.1 update?

I installed the Tekxodus Hybrid urv5 Rom it has a guide to upgrade to 5.1.1 and also to root and install twrp recovery. Check it out. My phone is currently rooted. Nice Rom ain't much to complain about just wanted to go back to Kit Kat.
