Now you have to press PDA in Odin and you have to search for a G800HXXU1ANGD_SER_ROOT_NO_KNOX.tar file which you have downloaded to root your S5 Mini G800H. For G800F you have to search for a cf-auto-root-sm_g800f-kminilte-xxu1ang7.tar file that you have downloaded to root. PLEASE NOT USE CORRECT FILES FOR BOTH VARIANTS AS STATED ABOVE. Watch below pictures for full illustration the first picture show file of G800H and the second picture show G800F file.

Green Box will be highlighted in Odin just above the blue box which illustrates that you have did all the things correct. If you are rooting G800F, this process is not going to take too much time in reebooting your device with super user, but if you are rooting G800H it will take time to download as well as in booting up the system. So please dont get panic.
