Credits : Contents of this post are totally inspired by http://rootmyandroid.org/root-samsung-galaxy-mini-gt-s5570-froyo-gingerbread.html but it needed a little correction plus i wanted to provide abridged version of it. This tutorial tells about rooting the phone which already has gingerbread installed. For froyo , check the above link because i have not tried those steps).so here i go :
1. Backup important contents of your phone.
You can use Super Backup app for the purpose. This app keeps the backup on the sd card in a folder by the name "smscontactsbackup" and keeps it safe. You can also copy the backup to your Computer.
2. make sure that your phone is charged at least 90% so that it does not goes off in the middle of the rooting process. Also be sure that your computer is set off with the antivirus and firewalls, the cable with the specific drivers must be ready.

3. Set Debugging Mode on through Settings>Developers and then check the box.
4. Download the required files

5. Turn off your phone and got to recovery mode by pressing the HOME+POWER BUTTON simultaneously.
