Does this root method works on GT I8190LUBAMK1 (4.1.2 android, samsung s3 mini)? I just want to be sure to not screw up my phone! Thanks in advance
Hi,
I tried your method and it failed with this error message, when trying to apply root.zip with CWM
The OS Build number: JZO54K.I8190DXAMJ1
Any way to work around this?

Just put the *.tar.md5 in PDA in ODIN.
Method works for all versions.
Just one thing..it's better if you flash latest version of recovery instead of that one. This thread havn't been updated in a long time.
Search for Philz recovery or TWRP2.7.
I folllow these steps:

Does not do anythying on my i8190
Greetings, i'm new here and migrating from blackberry to android with this phone
I did all the ODIN steps to flash the I8190_TWRP_2.7.0.0.tar.md5 file (with download mode down+start+power) to install kit kat later and in the end of the procedure its says PASS in my ODIN screen, but my android phone stills in the downloading screen with the bar full and never resets (i dont know if this is normal), i let it be like 5 minutes and still same.
so, I turned off my phone presing for 5 seconds the power button, and when i tried to enter recovery mode inmediatly after powering it off, (up+start+power) the system still shows me the same "Android System Recovery <3e> of always and doenst install the TWRP as it supposed to do.
I dont know if im doing something wrong, but im stuck here to continue my journey to kit kat 4.4.2
My Android OS version on my i8190 is: 4.1.1 JRO03H.I8190XXALL2 and as far i know it has been never flashed before.
thank you for all the help you can give me!

As I know TWRP 2.7.0.0 for i8190 is only update. Before its installing you should download 2.6.0.0 and install this version.

thanks, I will download and install TWRP 2.6.0.0 and let you know if worked!
Hey there to the thread starter, maybe you should link the new versions of cwm, twrp and philz to this thread? They can do the same thing and eliminates flashing more than one file.

Boot loop/ soft bricked
So after i flashed the recovery in odin the phone went into a boot loop. i have searched for hours and havent come up with a solution. please help!
I have the Metro PCS Exhibit (SGH-T559N)
By the way, I did read the op and this isn't my first rodeo. I've successfully rooted, un-bricked, un-rooted, and flashed the recoveries of my previous phones, which include: T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant, Verizon HTC Thunderbolt, Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus, T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3, AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 2, T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4, T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and the Nexus 5.
But for some stupid reason (I'm probably the one that messed up) I can't un-brick this stupid thing!
***UPDATE***
I was able to fix it by flashing a pre-rooted firmware using ODIN
tys0n is a life-saver!

interestingly, in my frenzy to find SOMETHING that will work, I downloaded the one for the T-Mobile variant and it works.
