How to root or unroot samsung galaxy mini(Two methods)

Hi Friends,
This post is about rooting samsung galaxy mini....
(Rooting is a method of gaining super user privileges as over your device by becoming super user you can do anything with your device move app to sd card and change your device boot vide,You can make your device ad free,you can overclock your device etc)

There are two methods of rooting:
1.By using firmware .
2.By using app for one click root.
I will explain both in detail and both are safe....

1.By using Firmware:(Works only on Gingerbread)

Files to download:
upd_root.zip (To root) and
unroot.zip ( If you want to unroot sometime)

1.Now first of all reboot your device in Recovery mode (By pressing and holding Home + Power key)

( To toggle between options use volume keys,To select use Home key and Use Power key as a back key)
2.Select apply update from SD card...

3.Select upd_root.zip and then install it, it will take few seconds for installation...

4.Go back to main menu and select reboot system now...and it order to unroot follow same step and install unroot.zip

2.By using z4root
Files to Download:

This method is easier then the previous one it takes only one click in this method to root.....
And it allows two options to root (i) Temporary root which allows you to unroot again when you want and (ii) Permanent root.....

To root using this method open z4root on your device and select whatever temporary root or permanent root (That's upto you)This method takes nearly 5 min and then will reboot your device.....
