[Q] is boot.img enough to root my S3 mini? - General Questions and Answers

Hello!
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S3 mini with Jelly Bean 4.2.1
Because its not possible for me to download
GT-I8190XXAME1_I8190OXXAME2 [Rooted]
....got I8190XXAME1_I8190OXXAME2_roote.html
I read, that is possible to root with KERNE-I8190XXAME1.tar which includers only boot.img (~7MB)

I really really doubt that flashing the kernel (that's the boot partition) will root your device. Actually I'm sure it wouldn't.
Have you tried TowelRoot ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157 )?
Framaroot ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276 )?
If does fail, you can install TWRP custom recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678274
Then boot into TWRP and flash SuperSU from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/451/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip
If you don't understand these tutorials, then I recommend a hefty load of reading about root, custom recoveries, kernels, flashing..etc.
And as always, if you're not sure, search the forum, youtube, google, or post a question on XDA.
Cheers

Use CF-AutoRoot. It's about as easy as can be to get root on the Tab 2.

Have you installed a custom recovery?? Try ClockWorkMod(CWM) or TeamWinRecoveryProject(TWRP) for your device.
(ALWAYS make sure the zip you're flashing is for your device, or you could brick your device!!)

It varies, soft-brick is mostly recoverable but hard-brick would need some serious replacements or J-tag recovery etc..

[Completed] [Q] PLEASE HELP G900H Samsung galaxy s5 China

Hi Sirs/Maams
I have a samsung galaxy s5 G900H made in vietnam, but i think its china. Im trying to flash roms on my phone and I already rooted my phone. However, whenever I am in recovery mode, (pressing down buttong+power+center button) it takes me to android system recovery and it is not showing "Zip file on /sdcard". How can I access that? If theres something to download pleas attach links, and if you guys also have a link to where I can find Custom Roms for my unit please post links aswell. Please.. Please I really need your help. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
What you are missing is a Custom Recovery. Those are crucial in order to flash custom Roms.

Thank you so much Sir, I also have one problem, I am trying to install CWM recovery via MTKDroid tools... But I cant seem to find my "boot.img" file on my phone, recovery or my sdcard. I might accidentally deleted it or something.. im not quite sure. but can you please help me recover or get a new boot.img. I also saw some boot.img on one site that belongs to G900F, but mine is G900H will it be compatible with my MT6572 phone. Im also trying to access via odin but im having problems with connecting my usb port to it, keeps connecting and disconnecting, thats why i am using MTKdoidtool to install CWM.
Im referring to this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEFcsQ8gC1E

Rooting my Galaxy Note 10.1 to KitKat or newer

Hi,
Apparently I posted this in the wrong forum before based on the reply I got in the General forum...Sorry for that!
I wanted to know if it's possible to root my Galaxy Note 10.1 to KitKat (or newer)? I want to have the download-option in Netflix. I've spent hours now trying to find out, but I'm not any wiser...I'm just more confused how to do this.
Model: GT-N8010
Android: 4.1.2
Build: JZO54K.N8010XXUCMK2
Region: bought in Norway...?
More specifically I am wondering what firmware to download, which will work on my tab.
Sorry if this has already been answered, but I just didn't find the right thread. Please post links to guides or etc as I am completely new to this! Thanks!

The link says .
Please be advised that Questions are to be posted in the Q & A/Troubleshooting Forums.
etc etc
Could you please elaborate on the procedure?
Root does not give you KK or any rom.
Custom rom decide the one you want first with live download .
Follow its instructions.
Usual is flash custom recovery tar via Odin .
Put custom rom zip on ext sd card and flash through recovery .
