Hello everyone,
First things I want to say that I'm completely newbie here and just a fews day ago I read the topic [HOW TO] Root Remix Mini
That topic inspired me a lot but since I don't have a serial converter like which the topic describe and I'm a student with no money and knowledge about electronic, I decided trying to root the Remix Mini with my Arduino Uno R3 board that I already got.

Needed stuffs:
- Arduino Uno R3 (I think other Arduino boards would works too)
- 4 pieces or wire (I cut them from my old internet cable)
- A PC or laptop to run the commands
- An USB with Extract-to-USB.zip extracted into. Download here
- CoolTerm. Download here
- Screw driver
Steps:
1. To turn my Uno into a serial converter, I followed this video:
For short, connect your Reset to GND pin and you're done
2. Follow step 2 in this thread
I'll put a quote here:
3. Connect Uno board with Remix Mini board:
Here are the needed pins in Uno board:
And the corresponding in Remix Mini (I marked with the same color):
4. Plug Arduino Uno into PC
5. Start CoolTerm
5a. Go to Options -> Serial Port tab, if you see no error then it worked
Make your settings look like this:
5b. Go to terminal and set your terminal mode to Line Mode -> Ok
6. Plug your USB with the zip file extracted onto the upper USB port on Remix Mini board
7. Turn on Remix Mini
If everthing done right you'll start to see things like this:

Open up the Remix Mini with a screw driver.
2a. Flip it up side down, and rip the rubber ring out. It's okay, it will still adhere to the case afterward. Once you ripped it out, you will see two screws holding the remix mini. Proceed unscrew them and gently take the case apart.
2b. Gently take the case apart:
