My phone:
S5 Mini G800H DS (Dual sim)
Moderl version: G800HXXU1ANK2
I have had this phone since 2 years ago, now i have not get any lollipop updates, how can i do?
I want a lot lollipop for first cause Samung has promised it, but the most important reason is the battery, performance and for modding with some custom roms presents in this forum.
I wanna know if i can update my phone, for example using Odin or any other way.
If someone has my same phone model version please contact me and teach me how to update.
I read a lot of articles about the updating of my model but im scared, cause maybe i can brick my phone and i can't buy anyother now.

Hello xda-developers,
I am a noob once again in desperate need on guidence on my new device...
i have had iPhones since the very First ever iPhone so recently when i decided to sell my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to buy 1 device the Samsung Galaxy Note i was making a huge risk as i have never used anything other than ios but i made the risk and couldnt be happyier,
Now onto the more serious part on why i have created this thead...i need assistance on how to go about rooting my device
It's a Brand New Samsung Galaxy Note White Euro model, i wanted uk but couldnt find it in stock anywhere and had to order online, i think it came from germany as when i checked the tracking thats were it was dispatched from,
I have been doing alot of reading on these forums and others around the internet and i think i have it right but because my model might be a germany handset but dontknow for sure from what i can tell it has
baseband version N7000XXLA4
kernal version N7000XXLA6
from what i can sorta understand because its on N7000XXLA6 it cannot be rooted direcly and needs to be downgraded to a lower firmware? also is the kernal version the firmware version?
sorry for the noobish talk i wanna get this right as i dont wanna damaged my new device...do i need to downgrade my firmware to be able to root my device?
my plan is to once offical ics comes out to have offical ics installed then root the device then remove all the bloatware from it and make it original pure clean ics kinda like the nexus no samsung crap on it but have root access for extra features like gamepad support like ps3 controllers and other features.
i have tryed to work out the best thing to do so far i am stuck with thinking my device cant be directly rooted and i dont wanna jump in a fiquire out the hard way as iknow rooting isnt as easy and jailbreaking.
i can't wait to hear feedback and help tips and tricks from the community and also very big thanks in advance for taking te time to read this

Your Rom is too new to be rooted directly, you got that right. Go to this thread and download any Rom older than N7000DXKL3 (I prefer N7000XXKK9, it's easily rooted using zergrush method, but it's your choice, of course). Then you can proceed with flashing your downloaded Rom via PC Odin (detailed instructions with pictures in the said thread).
Then visit this thread for instructions on rooting your Rom (find 'Method 2: Root + CWM recovery' and follow it to the letter).
Once you're rooted, you can either upgrade to the latest stock Rom and keep your root, or flash any of the custom Roms available in the Dev section.
Good luck.
u can also go to youtube n refer ashwin tutorial how to root...it will help u a lot coz u can see n know what u doing...follow exactly teh instruction n u will not face any problem..happy rooting...
i give the link to help u save time..

hello everyone
i like to start of with sayin hello to everyone and appreciate all the help i receive.
i have a Samsung galaxy s3 mini for 2yr and im in uk and i been seeing other phones running newer firmwares like lollipop and it feels and looks nice and would like it on mine. My s3 mini is currently running android version 4.1.2 and its been like that since new and doubt it get any updates now,
can i update this to a newer firmware please and a step by step process thanks as ok ish with phones know basic stuff but not a genius.
once again thank you all
yes you can. the phone will need to be rooted, custom recovery installed & a couple of other tools on pc,ie odin. there are many great guides & tutorials in these forums, so have a look around, read a little learn a lot, like we all did. decide on which rom works the best for you and go with that one(that will be the best rom),dont ask!!!!!. follow all instructions carefully & most of all...enjoy the ride... if you have any difficulty then just ask
Hello thank you.
I'm typing this from my s3 mini. It has been rooted with kingroot the rooting is ok now needed to allow permission.
So it's ok for a Uk Samsung galaxy s3 mini be updated to later firmware. I read couple guides on here with the cynam rom.
Has is got to be done by odin?.
I also read that can be done with rom manager app is this true?.
What is the latest and stable firmware for samsung galaxy s3 mini GT- i8190n?
Also erm What's a kernel and has that got to be done?
On the downloads page I choose my model and cyamogen then is it recovery or odin I download?
Thank you to everyone
Sent from my GT-I8190N using XDA Free mobile app
So there is threads where it shows cf auto root works for all g800f but the build number is different. if im afraid that ill brick my phone trying to root it. Im newbie for this things so if something goes wrong i dont know what to do. Im from bulgaria and my phones warranty expired this month so i decided to root it mostly to use lucky patcher. If someone can make it clear if its ok to do that when build numbers are not matching ill be happy waiting for someone to enlighten me and thanks for the help i appreciate that
Well my experience says that the build number does not matter. You have to choose only the right android version thats it.
I understand you but there is explainings how to root g800f with 4.4.2 and I saw a thread about rooting g800m with 5.1.1 there is not for g800f...
I need some help I have a sm-g800a Samsung galaxy s5 mini from at&t. I wanna get some some custom roms and recovery in it. What do u need to do get around the all the red tape associated with att. What time to I need to spend to get this done. Please help. I wanna upgrade too.
The answer is literally in EVERY release post of a custom rom.
There has to be some way. We can get around this. What about if I flashed the unlocked version's firmware on it?
