As title said , i own a galaxy s3 mini , model GT-l8190 , android version 4.1.1 , baseband version l8190XXALL2 ( rooted already ) , kernel version 3.0.31 -639956 , build number JRO03H.l8190XXALL2.

install Samsung Kies on your computer & connect your device via usb-cable with it... then Kies will answer your question

alecore · Feb 12, 2013

just did that , and samsung kies said : you cannot upgrade your firmware via kies . On short

alecore · Feb 12, 2013

anyone else?

Im not sure if rooting disables updating via kies..

you have two options:

1. Wait for official firmware update to 4.1.2 for romania.

2. make a complete backup with cwm recovery & try an UK or other 4.1.2 firmware ..... but i don´t recommend it because of baseband differences...

I dont know what changes 4.1.2 brought accept bugfixes, but im kinda dissapointed that they removed water lockscreen and if i got mine on 4.1.1 i think i wouldnt update it until we get 4.2

Why don't you try South East Europe ROM,or generic? Check sammobile, there's plenty of ROM `s. Just make sure you have the correct ROM (if you have 8190N you need ROM with N). I just flashed latest 4.1.2 (BTU) as wanted `` clean `` stock ROM and so far very impressed...

BTU is UK. Anyway, you have nothing to lose. So give it a try. Do hard reset before and after flashing. Mine is 8190NXXALL6.

Why you want root? Give it a few days to see if there's need to modify something.

Nothing at the moment

We hope it will be released along with a major 4.1.2/4.2 update :fingers-crossed:
