First, I would like to apologize for my bad English (If I have spoken something wrong / using wrong grammar)
And I would like to warn you that:
***This will increase the flash counter!
***You cannot boot into CWM by pressing the (vol up + power + home) buttons [I don't know why, don't ask me]
***I'm not responsible if you FAIL to ROOT / BRICK your device / CANNOT OPEN
CORRECTION: THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY TO ROOT S3 MINI, TAKE IT, OR IGNORE IT~~
Guys, I just bought an S3 mini and I found out that the root methods are so few...
For example: Flash pre-rooted ROM, seems is the best way and safest way to have a ROOT-ED system...
Anyway, I have figured an hour and I tried some "tricks" to ROOT the S3 MINI easily with the LATEST FRRMWARE!
I found out 1 thing is when you flash any S3 MINI firmware via ODIN, the firmware DOES NOT including the STOCK RECOVERY
Ok back to the topic, these are the ways that I figured out and used them to ROOT my S3 MINI with LATEST FIRMWARE! (Android 4.1.2 XXAMA2)
Just follow my instructions, I have tested them and they worked...
Step 1: Put the ROOT zip file into sdcard / external sdcard. ***Download the ROOT zip file from below attachment***
Step 2: Boot to DOWNLOAD MODE, flash CWM 6.0.2.8 via ODIN's PDA, UN-TICK "Auto Reboot"
***I have made an ODIN FLASHABLE CWM (6.0.2.8)***Download it from the attachment below***
Step 3: Download any / latest S3 MINI firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I8190
Step 4: Boot into DOWNLOAD MODE again! Flash the firmware that you have downloaded... This time tick the "Auto Reboot"
Step 5: The device will auto reboot into CWM after you have flashed the firmware! When it boots into CWM, click "Install un-trusted zip" first, after that browse and flash the ROOT file via CWM!
REBOOT YOUR DEVICE, IF YOU FIND OUT THAT THE MENU & BACK KEYS CANNOT CLICK, JUST REBOOT YOUR DEVICE AGAIN!
CONGRATULATION! YOU HAVE ROOTED YOUR S3 MINI WITH LATEST FIRMWARE AND LATEST SuperSU!
If you failed to boot into CWM, just flash the firmware again and remember tick the "Auto Reboot"!
The phone will automatically boot into CWM again and all you need to do next is to flash the ROOT zip file!
You are welcome to share your ideas / experiences after using my way...
Post your questions if you have, I'll try to help you... If I may...
TRY MY WAY OUT! :victory::laugh::good:
... your new solution for root isn´t new .... and not recommend because of enrease the custom binary count .....
and nice to see that you are able to share my cwm 6.0.2.8 touch build but not to click thanks in my thread...

I apologize, I have used your CWM zip file converted to tar file :good: I'm so thankful that I can use your post as one of my references :laugh:
Yes, it does increase the custom binary count...
And I have not found a way to flash back the stock recovery...
Maybe is not "new", is just "another" way to ROOT the S3 MINI :angel:

This is like the oldest method in the book. It used to work with other devices, but samsung tightened security on this one.
As for the original recovery, here you go.

Have a read here.
Another trick for accessing recovery menu is via command prompt and android-sdk tools installed on PC.
Just navigate to Android folder with debugging mode turned on on phone and type: adb reboot recovery -> voila
Also let me mention that I managed to root and SIM unlock 8190N (NFC model) on latest 4.1.2 JB using your tutorial and Z3X box (USB + UART cable)
1) Flash the Le Fleur ROM via ODIN (this will enable the "three button recovery boot").
2) Flash whatever rooted ROM you want via ODIN (the "three button recovery boot" combo WILL STICK).
3) Install Triangle Away (Infected_ was one of the testers and it's been working for a couple days now).

In my [HOW-TO]Enable three button combo[recovery] there is a much easier way to gain three button recovery boot, without need to download and flash the whole firmware. Only 2mb download

hi guys, ive recently been given a s2 and i want to know how to root it and install clockwork mod without a pc. i have looked through the tutoriols and it seems simple to root but then when wanting to flash a recovery it seems confusing as there are kernels and what not. i have searched but things seem to complicated compared to the one x. sorry if this is really stupid but could someone tell me how to root my s2 and install cwm and install a custom kernel in simple english please. thanks in advance.
also one cwm is installed can i install roms through there or is odin(this is also confusing) required?
oh and finally, once a ota arrives how do i unroot and revert back to stock recovery. sorry for the noob questions guys, thanks in adcance

Simple mate. Download this http://db.tt/MxD7F6xg and install through stock recovery (volume up+home+power).
This is a temp CWM recovery so you can flash this kernel: http://www.dorimanx.com/Android-ICS/ by selecting Install zip from internal or external sdcard. BTW, it's touch recovery.
Then you're all done:thumbup:
Yes you can flash custom roms through CWM recovery built in the kernel.
Yes also to revert back to stock rom/kernel for ota. For this, you can use mobile Odin pro. Works great.
EDIT: OH and the kernels are pre-rooted

You should not be mucking about with your phone until you have a pc handy(with odin installed properly).
I hardly ever use a pc,but you can get situations when you flash something and the phone dont boot properly,plus no access to recovery.
The only option is then using a pc/odin.

Hello I've install the ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 6.0.1.2 but he's different that the screenshots I've found on the web.
On mine I have this one :
reboot system nom
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe datafactory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
So I can't see how I could install a new Rom from a Zip file for exemple, what is the problem ?
thanks for your answers.
You have stock recovery, not custom. Either you didn't flash correctly or you have stock firmware which will restore stock recovery on each boot.
Go read the sticky threads as you are missing some basic knowledge.

When flashing the Philz Recovery in Odin , untick the Auto Reboot option. After that take out the battery and start your phone in recovery mode.

Yes, as I said your firmware will replace the recovery each time you boot. Either replace your firmware with custom or live with stock recovery.

This is a tutorial for noobs or members who are new to Rooting and want to root their phone.
Downloads:
*Odin 3 v3.0.9
*CWM recovery thread(Downloads available for 4.3 and 4.4 also)
*SuperSU
Steps to root your phone:
1) Download the first two files given above to your laptop/PC.
2) Turn off your phone.
3) Go to download mode (by pressing Vol.down+home+power buttons at the same time for about 7-8 secs)
4)Open the ODIN file you downloaded on your laptop/pc.
5) Connect your phone to your laptop/PC through USB cable(do I have to tell that )
6) When ODIN detects your phone, the ID:COM area will become yellow/blue
7) In ODIN click on PDA and then select the recovery file you downloaded. Also tick the check box beside PDA(if there is any)
8) Click on start. The flashing process will start.
9) If the flashing succeeds, ODIN will show 'PASS'. That means the recovery flashed successfully. Yay!!!
10) Now turn on your phone and download the third file and place it in your external SD card.
11) Turn off your phone.
12) Reboot to recovery(by pressing Vol.up+home+power buttons).
13) The recovery will start. You have to navigate by volume buttons and power button.
Vol.up - move up
Vol.down - move down
Power button - select option
14) Select 'install zip'.
15) Select 'Choose zip from ext_sd or external SD card'.
16)Select the third file you downloaded. Flashing process will start.
17) After it finishes, go back and reboot your phone.
It's upon you, of you want to follow this:
18)Use Knox Remover to remove all Knox files.
Enjoy your rooted Galaxy grand 2!!! Now you can flash other recoveries or flash other custom ROMs or custom kernels.
Some useful tips(Experimental/WIP):
You can use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter after flashing ROMs and make your device status from custom to official. This is a really useful app. Report here if it works. You needn't download from google play, you can scroll down and download from the attachments.

@Chainfire: For SuperSU and Triangle Away.

you need to flash supersu in recovery, load up supersu when you have rebooted and have it disable knox, then reboot into recovery and reflash supersu and youll be rooted.

Similar, I'm in teh US with a nexus 5, in no way shape or form will i ever hold this device in my hand so no way for me to test it out.
there will be no kitkat recovery, the mere fact he booted to recovery and was able to flash the supersu means that is is working. the cwm i put out is already compatible with 4.4
I had even flashed the super user it failed saying couldn't verify signature. When u boot in recovery it doesn't say CMW recovery. In the center of the screen under the logo it says no command and down in the screwn it says manual mode.
About knox I checked there is nothing I can disable. while in recovery..
I have used Cwm in s2. . So I know it's interface..

Well then the CWM didnt flash through odin,, its funny bec Odin gave all the indication that it successfully flashed the recovery.. Just one last thing I need to know,, I am sure somehing is broken at the recovery/software level now..as when I check for software update, it says ur device has been modified,, how do I fix this.. flashing stock 4.4.2 rom?

You need to uncheck auto reboot in odin. When it finishes flashing disconnect the device and pull battery. Then put it back in and manually boot to recovery

Here, flash the latest version in ODIN (download the .tar.md5 file of latest version) and select it under PDA in ODIN. Flash it then BOOM! (No explosion intended, but you get what I mean) Your phone should have custom recovery.

Thanks, but i can not install CWM via Standard recovery because the paket signature is not signed. So i guess Samsung prevented it...

Thank you! So i flash Philz and after that i can directly flash CWM over it? Because i need CWM or TWRP for my ROM
That's correct. Flash PhilZ first, then the specific recovery for your new Rom (search for the zip file, not the tar file).
Thanks mate, worked like a charm.
Hi guys,
my friend accidentally bricked his phone while he was trying to install a new ROM.
It is a Galaxy S4 and he accidentally deleted everything, whice means there is no system and no recovery.

Odin is for flashing the original firmware from Samsung. You should be able to find it here in the forum for your phone. They usually will post it either in the General or Development sub-forums. If you can't find the exact one you need, then you can check out sammobile.com, though it is usually a pretty slow download. You must use the one for your variant of S4 and can be specific to your carrier or region, depending on which S4 you have. You should only use the same firmware or newer.
odin for samsung
i will recommend try flashing a custom recovery like twrp or philz for flashing a custom rom
flash recovery image using odin or any adb boot type commands
also be device specific when u search for rooting or flashing roms to avoid bricking of the device
