Hello,

A relative has an S3 mini and she finds it slow at times; it is pretty slow indeed. I might help her out and flash a more responsive custom rom (something reactive but very stable...a suggestion perhaps ?).
However, it's a S3 mini from an Argentinian carrier (Personal). Is it possible to flash a custom ROM on it without blocking the phone ? I wouldn't want to start flashing phone only to realize I'll ended up with a locked phone.

It's a GT-l8190L (I8190LUBANA2) on Android 4.1.2. Don't know if that's enough information...

Thanks !

Yes, you can flash, it won't block the phone. Simply choose a ROM that you/she like & read the OP thread, to know if it works on I8190L variant.
