How to update Galaxy S3 Mini from Android 5.0 Lollipop.
As you know, Samsung no longer releases OTA update for Galaxy S3 Mini. Thus, the phone is stuck on KitKat OS, unless of course you want to leave the devices officially. But, if you're ready to bump up a bit of the operating version, then we recommend that you check out the recommendation below. In this tutorial, we will show you how to easily and safely update your Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini to Android 5.0 Lollipop OS with the new Rom firmware.
This drive is built from pure AOSP Android 5.0 Lollipop OS as the goal is to bring the default and latest Android firmware to the Galaxy S3 Mini. The drive has therefore been tuned and optimized in order to fit with your SGS3 Mini. So, if you want to check it out yourself, then feel free to check all the lines below as you will find there all the details you need for the flashing process.
First of all, you should know that this custom version of Android 5.0 L works without problems on Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. According to users who have already installed AOSP ROM, there are no bugs or other issues related to the software. Of course, since we're talking about custom drives, you might find unusual things, but don't expect to have major bugs or annoying problems and you can install it for daily use.
After flashing, you will be able to get the latest lolipop features and apps. In addition, with the help of this CD, you can improve your Galaxy S3 Mini devices.

In a few words, you can improve battery life, gain more speed, change the default Samsung UI, update fast web browsing, and update other features.
I also want to note that after you get into this firmware, you no longer have a phone warranty. In case of anything by phone, you will be taken to the service center of the company, you will have to pay. But guarantees can also be returned, with the official firmware path.
I also want to note that, this disk is not an official release of Samsung or Google, only a custom disk that was created on the latest AOSP release. So do not bundle this firmware with the aforementioned company.
Before installing your phone must have Root rights (Root) and the latest recovery version (TWRP Recovery). Just a reminder, never forget to make a Nandroid backup of the disk that you are sitting at the moment, this means that if the new disk is not to your liking, you can easily return your old disk. How? Read below.
Read and understand the entire manual before actually following the instructions.
Warning: Use these instructions at your own risk. We will not be held responsible for anything that happens to you or your device that results from using the information in this guide.
This tutorial is for Galaxy S3 Mini only. Please do not try to install on any other device.

Make sure the drivers for your device are installed on your computer. You need to enable USB debugging mode which is disabled by default. Your smartphone should have 70-80% charge. Never skip a Nandroid backup as it's very useful, if that firmware doesn't work the way you want, then you can easily get back to your old drive. This tutorial will destroy all data.

Proceed at your own risk. Samsung Kies will not detect your phone after installing this disk because it is a custom firmware. Make sure you have backed up all the data in your phone storage before proceeding. How to make a backup read here. Another way: here.
New stable CM12.1 release (20160210) is available for S3 Mini, go here.
