    You might like to start by reading the tag wiki for [tag:rooting]. – Dan Hulme Jun 23 '13 at 13:44
  • And if the hardware is not that different, steps for the Galaxy S3 might apply for the mini as well. – Izzy Jun 23 '13 at 14:35
  • Usually Faramaroot app works for root , incase if it is not working that you should try by connecting you mobile to pc with usb debugging and use Root Genius software and try root. Download from here - http://www.shuame.com/en/root/ – BrotskyTv Oct 12 '15 at 06:34

You can root your Galaxy S3 Mini without computer without PC.

  1. Go to Settings>Security>Check Allow Unknown resources.
  2. Download Root Master 2.0 apk from here.
  3. Install it as normal apk. Open the app and click root.
  4. Now the phone will restart and you'll see Kinguser in your app drawer.
  5. To Verify Root, Download Root Checker Basic from Playstore.

  • Thank you for suggesting an answer (though link-only it is). However, there is not much in this answer other than the name of the app (already in the tag-wiki suggested in a comment under the question). Please make this answer useful by adding instructions(know-how). – Firelord May 29 '15 at 14:07
