Hello.
This is my first post so sorry if it's in the wrong area or has already been answered in FAQs somewhere that I've missed.
I'm looking for a rooting guide plus software links for Samsung S3 mini, GT-i8190n on 4.1.2.
Never tried rooting a phone before but I know what I'm doing with computers so, hopefully, won't need spoon feeding. Just a nice pointer
in the right direction, maybe some tips and some time to mess around a bit.
A guide with instructions on making a clone image too of the original OS ISO file would be great if anyone know where there might be one!
Thanks!!
I found this, might be what you're looking for.:

>>Sent from my homebuilt TARDIS running Android 4.3... Or maybe it's a rooted Kindle Fire HD running ChameleonOS<<
Thanks pal, looks good. I'll give it a try.
OK, that one has messed up my hotspot... :/
Any ideas where a fix might be?
The root worked great though.

Sorry guys for posting this, but I need some questions answered and there are a lot of answers. I just purchased a g tab from tigerdirect and it will be here soon. I wanted to know if I should update first or leave it as shipped before I install a rom.
I'm wanting to try out the new Gingerbread release from TJ, but Not sure of which ClockworkMod I should install. Also Is G Harmony Gingerbread the way to start, for a beginner?
Thanks again, I really appreciate all the help
I was going to follow these instructions but wasn't sure if this was the best course of action.
well since I'm new I can post it, but if you search, Gingerbread G Tablet and addictivetips, you can find it.
P.S. I'm going to video tape this, so I will post after I'm done.
Also....
Which ROM should I install? Which, in your opinion, is the most stable of all?
I guess my question is, should I install Cyanogen, TnT Lite, or GingerBread? And which version?
I don't think there is a 'right' answer, each rom has something good about it.
I'd start with TnTLite as it is the best supported and fixes a lot of issues that the stock rom comes with.
Go from there, if you're happy with TnT then use it for a while.
Start small I say, get some confidence then move to the more involved roms.
Thanks!
I really appreciate your fast response. I'm hoping that all will go well. Thanks again!

good luck. just take it slow and think about what you're doing. the device is pretty hard to totally brick so if you think you're stuck do some searching/reading/research.
I would like to learn a little bit about the android OS and all its terminology. I've been rooting and playing w/ firmware for a while now and have no problem following instructions and what not, but I would also like to know why what is happening... is happening. Does that make sense? I hope so.
Perhaps you could point me in the direction of a good guide (pdf maybe ) or book. Maybe there are some good beginner threads here I just can't find.
Thanks!
yeah me too,im very..very..VERY interested to design my own moded rom.
Well you got me beat there my friend. I don't want to make a rom, I just want a greater understanding of how things work behind the scenes, just not too far behind.... if you know what I mean.
Good luck in your endeavours.
Any help here....
I think this thread is already exists..

You really should READ. A lot.
There is no 'best'. There are indeed several methods to gain root access, but one isn't necessarily better than another. Think of it like a switch. Is there a 'best' way to turn on your kitchen light? There are indeed multiple methods, some more challenging than others...but if the goal is to be able to see and navigate your kitchen to get to the fridge...does it matter if you flip the switch with your thumb or index finger, right or left hand, or even your foot? Not really. That's kinda like root.
Root access is a threshold thing, when you get it it's done.
Search with Google, and Youtube...watch and read all of the tutorials, and decide which one you think looks easiest.
What you should find, is that root = big yellow exclamation mark. Try googling 'sgs2 jig'. You should read about that, too. The jig will help you get rid of the yellow triangle syndrome, and it should cost you less than $3 on ebay. If it doesn't work, you might need an old bootloader...another subject to read up on.
If you want to take on the challenge of rooting and modding your phone, you should take on the challenge and not ask strangers to do your homework for you.
Devs here at XDA are AWESOME. They explain everything...in forums, where you can read it. You can also check out sammobile.com, another great site for people with our phone.
Best of luck! Get crackin'!

Thanks for your comment.
I actually have done a lot of reading but not very deep though. I only need the root to get a VPN running.
Cheers

No worries. Sorry if I was a bit harsh.
Look, check into SuperOneClick and a user named chainfire, in both of those you'll find what you need.
Seems like a lot of trouble for just a VPN. If you've got root afterwards you should think of flashing custom ROMs. That's where the fun stuff happens!
I first tried Ice cream Sandwich at the end of December, and it was awful. But the devs have been working hard on it. I've been running a build that's every bit as stable as stock Gingerbread for 2 weeks now. So many more features. Kicks ass, it does.
Let me know if you have trouble, get stuck or have any specific questions (send a PM). I might not have the answer, but I can point you in the right direction.

I don't know anything about the Epic 4G Touch. I would suggest you read about it yourself.
Start at the Epic 4G ´Touch forums, and Google, and watch vid tutorials at Youtube.
I was once a noob, too, then I read a bunch of stuff...it was hard. I had to work at it, and do it.
Hello guys. I have a touchpad and want to install android on it. First of all i want to know if i can keep webos on the tablet and dual-boot with android?

Yeah, seriously...there have been like lots of other posts asking these same 2 questions. You might try reading through the forums. You would find your answers pretty quickly. Or use google. Look here for some answers.
It's not the same as installing Android on your HTC. It's actually easier. And thankfully (because believe it or not there are a lot of idiots out there) it's more difficult to screw it up. Anyway, you'll find good tutorials here. And that guy is much nicer than I am about dumb questions.
You can thank me by using Google next time, or the search forum feature here. It's a little button up near the top right.
thanks for the help guys
Ps: for those that think that i'm lazy...i'm not...i searched for some info and wasn't sure about some things. it;s a forum and it's better to ask for help instead of making your device result in a brick !

Can anyone talk me through the easiest way to root my Mediapad M5 AL-09? Thanks in advance...
My ultimate goal is to remove some bloatware...especially an extremely popular video apk so I can use an ad free version.
"Search" is your friend.
Yeah, tried that before I posted. Perhaps a truer friend might point me in the right direction...

I actually did. It seemed a little involved for my skill level. I was hoping someone came up with something easier like a one click app. Guess I better roll up my sleeves and start trying to learn this stuff. Anyway, thank you for replying.

It really isn't all that difficult. Read, go slowly and if you have questions post them on that thread and people will help. I have the SHT-W09 8 inch USA wifi and have posted the required patched image for 173 and 190. Perhaps someone will have the correct patched image for the firmware version you are running. If you have not unlocked the bootloader and cannot easily do that with your current firmware that will make it more difficult, but again there is a thread for that and people are willing to help.
Good luck.
