And if the hardware is not that different, steps for the Galaxy S3 might apply for the mini as well.– IzzyCommented Jun 23, 2013 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 - shuame.com/en/root– BrotskyTvCommented Oct 12, 2015 at 6:34

You can root your Galaxy S3 Mini without computer without PC.
- Go to Settings>Security>Check Allow Unknown resources.
- Download Root Master 2.0 apk from here.
- Install it as normal apk. Open the app and click root.
- Now the phone will restart and you'll see Kinguser in your app drawer.
- To Verify Root, Download Root Checker Basic from Playstore.

Strange. Well you can try flashing the cf root file via Odin. Commented May 19, 2015 at 12:31
I used towelroot
to root a GS3 Mini (another variant though) successfully. I guess its worth a try!

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 ♦Commented May 29, 2015 at 14:07
