Official Rooted Firmwares for S3 Mini

The following firmwares are completely stock, original firmwares, with only the addition of the 2 needed files, su and Superuser.apk.

(Explanation: The first one (su) is the 'root' itself, while the second is the app that allows or denies superuser permissions to other processes).


This does not have CWM recovery, or any modifications. You can add those later yourself, if you wish. This is just the Samsung Rom, rooted. Nothing more. 


If you have OXX csc in your firmware (most of central-eastern Europe does; you can check by typing *#1234# and looking at the CSC - I8190OXXxxx), feel free to flash it on top with Odin, it will not wipe your data.

You can download Odin HERE

Flashing Procedure

1. Download the firmware from the links below and unzip the .tar file.
2. Turn the phone off and enter download mode (this can be done by pressing vol down/home/power simultaneously. As soon as the phone turns on, you will see a warning asking you to press vol up to continue. Do it. You are now in Download Mode

3. Start Odin (if you are on Windows 7 right click/run as administrator)
4. Click "PDA", and look for the file you unzipped in step 1. (see pic)

5. Do not tick repartition.
6. Connect the usb cable to your PC and wait until the field ID:COM becomes light blue.

7. Click "start".
8. Don't disconnect or turn off your phone during the flashing procedure, this could harm your device. The phone will reboot itself when it's over.

9. You are now rooted  Find the superuser icon in your apps and update it.

This does NOT trigger the flash counter.

Unroot 

If for some reason you don't want to be root anymore, (e.g. returning your phone for service or selling it), just go into the SuperSU app, go to settings, and press Full Unroot. That's it, no more root.
(Goes without saying: you should first remove any mods you did while rooted).
