Just so it's said: my previous comment was wrong. At least my device did not have the bootloader locked, the issue resided in the version of TWRP I was trying to install CyanogenMod13 with. After having flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 for i8190 (you'll find it on AndroidFileHost, not on the official page) with Heimdall, I was able to both install CM13 and root.

    Any way to unlock the bootloader on this model? While ADB can interact with it and I could flash TWRP via Heimdall then reflash the stock ROM (after having wiped it) using Odin, TWRP cannot install either CM13 or LineageOS 13. Trying to root it via SuperSU also did not work.

    I intend to bring it to Android 6 (via CM13 or LineageOS 13, regardless). That was rather straightforward with my S2s, but with this S3 mini it proves to be a challenge...

          Jeslyn, 20 Dec 2023Can you still download any apps from playstore.. Can you do... morei have the s3 mini (bought it from ebay recently). The playstore works fine, YouTube doesnt work but i installed SkyTube Legacy which is a yt client for older androids, you can download instagram and viber, but when you try to open them, you just cant log in. You cant install spotify, but Google play music is installed and working, you can also get YoutubeMusic or just move .mp3 songs to an sdcard. hope this helped!

                    JakobJerman, 07 Dec 2023What browser do you use? I recently purchased one of these ... morei use an older version of opera mini that still supports android 4.1 (https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/opera-software-asa/opera-mini/variant-%7B%22minapi_slug%22%3A%22minapi-16%22%7D/) even thoug the last version that supports android 4.1 is from december 2019, i can still go on most websites using it

                      What browser do you use? I recently purchased one of these phones on Ebay for 40€ for my mom and I'm wondering what browser works the best.

                        this phone is still usable in 2023 if you just need the essentials and a few apps (newpipe legacy for youtube, and if you look on apk websites you can find a few modern browsers that still support android 4.1)

                          It was a great phone. My 1st android smartphone also. Simple & easy to use as all Samsung phones are. Mine was blue.
