[GUIDE] Root the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini Value Edition (i8200)(i8200L)

I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini Value Edition i8200L , i'm from Costa Rica and i tried everything to root it , from Android Unified Toolkit (That ensures that root the S3 Mini VE) to DoomLord and SRSRoot but nothing worked , the only metod available to root this phone is with VRoot 1.7.6.5899 this is the chinese version , the english version doesn't work cause i tried and nothing ,i think that was impossible to root it but i tried the chinese version and it works.
Here's my tutorial to root it (Sorry for my bad english)
1-Download VRoot in it official page , google it because i can't put links here cause i'm new member , the version that works it
VRoot 1.7.6.5899 if there are a new version just download it.
2-Install VRoot.
3-Download and install Samsung Drivers , google it to
3-Activate debug mode in developer options , if you dont have developer options go to About Phone and press 7 or 10 times in Build Number or Compilation Number and the developer options will be available , after go to it and activate debug mode.
4-Allow instalation from external sources , ubicated in security options.
5-Open VRoot and wait to detect your phone , if not reconnect the phone to the computer or reinstall drivers.
6-When VRoot detect your phone press Next in VRoot and the root procedure will begin , it will install 2 chinese aplications 1 is like Aptoide and the other is the Superuser , you need SuperSu because it is the more stable , after the root finishes the phone will reboot and you have root acces.
(Next Steps are optional because i'm gonna show you how to change to SuperSu)
6-Download SuperSu from Play Store , open it and install binaries.
7-Download Link2SD and make SuperSu a system application.
8-Reboot the phone.
9-Open SuperSu and if it asks you to update binaries , do it.
10-Go to Link2SD and uninstall the chinese apps that VRoot install.
11-Enjoy root :laugh::laugh:
I posted a screenshot that VRoot shows when i rooted the phone.
Good Luck , any questions i'm here to answer it.

They are not viruses , they are exploits and the antivirus detects them as viruses.

Works also on S3 mini VE European version i8200N
Thank you so much DanielCarbajal96 !
I did exactly according to your description and it worked fine for me.
There was an addidtional thing to do: allow installation of external sources had to set.
The first time I set it on 'once' and only one Chinese app was installed , I had to do it again.
After I finished did something wrong when I installed SuperSU form the marked. It was not able to update binary's.
I did a 'RE-ROOT' , and now it is perpect.
thanks a lot.
Hans

Thanks for your support dude , and you are welcome , good luck ;D

Now, that's a much more complete answer, thanks, and i'm sorry for going against the rules.
So, let me ask again, in english this time. After trying for a while, i finally could root my phone, so thanks. Do you know, by any chance, if you can install the CyanogenMod on this phone? As in the i8190L? Thanks in advance for your answer.

I went through the exact same situation, and, good news, I just solved it last week:
When you flash the .kdz (like the peruvian Claro ROM, which I also tried), there's a catch: the ROM flash re-locks your phone to the local network. I re-flashed an up-to-date Entel ROM (this time Android 5.0.2 instead of Claro's 5.0.1), but KingRoot was still refusing to work.
I went to Argentina, bought a SIM to use while on vacation, and found out that the reflash had locked my phone.
Instead of paying 30 dollars to get the phone unlocked, I contacted LG support, told them that I needed to unlock my phone to use it with foreign networks; gave them my IMEI, they quickly mailed back the unlock code and the instructions to unlock the phone (saving me some money in the process).
Rebooted, re-tried KingRoot, and it worked! Then I ran the script to replace KingRoot with SuperSU, and voilà - LG Magna LTE rooted, unnecessary apps removed, now it works like a charm.
I hope this has been useful for anyone following this thread. When in doubt, some old-fashioned diplomacy can save you a few bucks

RSD lite is not recognising because you must be using windows 10. RSD lite needs windows 7.
yes downgrading to 5.1 and updating is another way to do it but I have never tried that method.

no, otherwise you can extract the boot logo from the stock firmware and flash it.

Hi, I have an LG K8 2017 Model (x240) If you find a way to root it please let me know, I've already searched all Google And there's no way
I wait for your answers

i got the same LG, and it sucks!

My m200n has - for unknown reason - OEM unlocked after the Oreo update. Checked it via fastboot, confirmed. FUnny thing is: I'm the hell not able to keep this device in fastboot mode. ANyone knows how to do that? There is download mode - not getting recognized from fastboot. I tried so many button combos until fastbootk recognized it and was able to perform the OEM unlock and device-info command. Unlocke command returns: FAILED (because already OEM unlocked).
I thought, ok let's test it this is really unlocked. I pulled the boot.img from the kdz firmware and patched it via Magisk. Now I tried to flash it via fastboot - but I'm not able to get it recognized via fastboot command again... odd.
Also this device is so f*****, it doesn't even allow to format the sdcard as adoptable! I forced it voa adb, and it "works". Storage space shows now ~30GB instead 8GB. But it doesn't help at all as the phone somehow still thinks it has only 8GB of space. When I try to migrate data on the SD after changing to adoptable storage, the settings app crashes. It works though when I leave some space as ext sd partition. But then later it will act like crazy when internal is out of space. Apps just disappear into nothing....
Well, I found sources, but seems only to be the recent rom source (and this is partly closed source). Couldn't find kernel sources too. This thing is damn useless! At least it can be debloated via adb... but without root... idk. Anyone skilled here who could help me a little to check if we could flash this boot.img? or does the phone only show OEM unlocked by fun? xD

Nand Backup
I have an LG K8 (X240F) and create a rom from AOSP of Android 6.0.1 using the lg code the problem is that I have not been able to make a backup of my cell phone through Falshtool since it does not enter in downloader mode or preloader and that's why I could not do the flashing.
Someone has a method to make the backup and then to flash my cell phone.
