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.

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.
Have you tested it?

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..

you had stock recovery not cwm
One last Question
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

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:

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
Guys the issue i am always having is when i try to flash the file via Odin i cant cause ive got two yellow folders? ive zipped them but odin doesnt find them? what am i doing wrong pls?
After Soft Bricking my phone twice. I'm scared of installing CWM recovery in my phone but I really need it. The problems which I'm facing after installing CWM recovery
1. Phone is automatically booting in Custom recovery mode OS not getting boot.
2. Service centre not giving warranty for this so every time I need to pay them.
Fix my problem...!!

Then it's very easy dude:
Flash cwm with unchecked autoreboot option in Odin
Remove battery and put it again
Go to recovery and reboot
It will ask to root and continue
After boot install super su from playstore.
Open it and select normal if it ask to update binary files that's all simple.

Strange, but did not work for me. Not even the normal cwm
I flashed it via existing CWM 6.0.4.5, installed it from extsd card. It showed me Install complete. When after pressing the key sequence for recovery mode, the screen that flashes just before cwm(light greyish) flashed and then again complete dark screen and device reboots and boots in normal mode(means turns on).
I again tried flashing it via odin. Same Result
Flashed 6.0.4.5 and it worked as before.
Not sure what I did wrong. (Though I don't think I have done any mistake as I've done this several times)
Still went through the steps given in the post and followed. My bad luck it seems...

[URGENT HELP]
I was updating apps from playstore. So there was an update for superuser and i updated it as well. After the update superuser asked for some binary file update and had an option for installation through CWM/TWRP Recovery . Since i had it installed i selected that option and the phone botted to recovery and then nothing happened. I was expecting it to auto install. I try to reboot the phone but it boots to recovery everytime. What can i do to solve this? i dont want to flash a ROM because i need to backup contacts first
Next time, choose the "normal" option.
For your problem, reflash CWM through Odin or flash stock recovery.

Thanks Man! Worked phew.!
Hello.
This is urgent. I need this phone to work as soon as possible
I'm new to the modding scene, and I have decided to install 5.1.1 Lollipop on my Samsung SII GT-i9100.
I tried to download this ROM off this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-cyanogenmod-12-t2955551
It says I need :"Kitkat Compatible Recovery". I suspect this was the problem as I had Jellybean 4.1.2, not any KitKat version but I was attempting to install Lollipop 5.1.1 (if any of this makes any sense at all).
This is the page that I found after googling "KitKat Compatible Recovery": http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/install-an...ible-cwm-recovery-galaxy-s2-i9100-how-1434170
The page says to flash "GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9.tar" onto my gt-i9100 using Odin, which is what I did.
When the flash was completed and I saw the "PASS" message in Odin, the page said the phone should reboot automatically. This did not happen. When I tried booting manually, I was shown "Samsung Gallaxy SII GT-I9100" with a yellow triangle and exclamation mark underneath. Then the boot sound played but the screen stayed black. After this the phone screen stayed black and did not boot.
I did some searching on how to remove said triangle, but in all the examples I have found the phone booted. Mine didn't.
All I'm asking is if someone knows how to fix my phone back to normal, or a redirect to a link where this issue is already addressed.
Thanks for your help.
P.S. Recovery and Download are accessible normally

When you boot into recovery which version do you have? If it is the 6.0.2.9 CWM, then flash the CWM 6.0.4.5 mentioned (from recovery) then reboot back into recovery(not system). You should now have CWM 6.0.4.5. Now from this recovery, do a full wipe(factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache(from advanced in menu) and format system. Then flash the rom and gapps(if you want them). Then reboot to system.
If you have the stock 3e recovery, you need to enable root access. Let us know if this is the case
I have CM v5.8.1.8, but I flashed 6.0.2.9.
That's weird
Don't worry about the triangle for now, just goto recovery flash a lollipop rom with gapps, after you are in the rom just use the triangle away app and remove it (I have done this loads of times) but be sure you have the correct KitKat recovery or this might not work.

I used this last time I flashed with odin and tick reboot in odin so it reboots automatically, when it is rebooting use the keys to go to recovery and flash the ROM of your choice

Could you explain how to flash it? It's a .zip file not .tar.
If you mean that I should put the .zip in the root of my phone, I can't do that as I when I plug in my phone to my PC I can't access root. (I suspect this is because my phone is not booted and I can't get it to boot)

You need the .tar file to flash using Odin, use the tar file I attached in the previous post it should work

I know this much, but the problem is that I don't have a ROM on my phone, and I can't access root so I can't place it there. I see an option called "sideload" in the recovery menu, but I don't know what this means and how I could use it.
I have flashed the .tar file you attached. Now I can't access recovery mode.
Okay I've managed to enter recovery by removing the battery and going into download, pressing down-volume to boot and then entering recovery normally. Now what.
I can now enter recovery. What do i do now

GUYS I got it to work. I flashed the two files from the description of this video, and used cm-kernel-09-05-2015-TWRP-2.8.6.0 to flash both of these files. It took some firguring out, but I got there in the end. The ROM is Lollipop 5.1.1 with CyanogenMod version 12.1-20150504-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.
Thanks for all the help you guys supplied, I couldn't have done this without you.
Now enjoy lollipop
