How To Root Samsung Galaxy Mini 2.3.4 Gingerbread

Warning : rooting can make loss your warranty..,

Note. SuperOneClick or any other similar apps don't work on 2.3.4 yet. At least didn't work for me.

Before going through the process of rooting you have to download a small file named upd_1.zip

http://www.multiupload.com/5LZN1BLHSN

Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

1: Once you have downloaded the file copy it to your SD card. For ease of work copy it in root of SD card.

2: Switch off your handset and wait till the vibration is over.

3: Now switch the phone in recovery mode. Press and hold Power button + middle menu button together to start in recovery mode.

4: Once you are in recovery mode you will get lot of options on screen. In recovery mode touchscreen does not work, so use the volume up/down buttons to toggle through options. To confirm options press the middle button.

5: Go to the second option i.e apply update from SD card.

6: Upon selecting the second option you will need to select the fileupd_1.zip. Press the middle button to apply changes.

7: It takes 2-3 seconds to install the update.

8: Once the above step is complete, reboot your system from the first option.

9: As the phone reboots you will have super user in it. Your phone is rooted now.
