Ok thank you very much i thing i found the "solution"

Sorry for dumb question... Is this non-destructive root?
Hi all, I need to recover some photos and I have to root in order to dump the file system... I am not so very familiar with rooting of Android phones, therefore I am asking if the rooting method described above will erase the user partition (applications, accounts, media etc). The phone is a G531FxxU1AOI4 with 5.1.1... It has original bootloader and rom... does rooting on this device require unlocking bootloader (therefore wiping data)? I`ve searched allover the android forums, especially xda, but it seems there`s something I am missing.. noone states for clear what happens.
Thanks!

Need roms for samsung galaxy core prime SM-G360H/DS

OK so I went around the web and to see if there were rom(s) available for Samsung galaxy core prime. I couldn't find anything! :crying: I bought this phone so i could escape the whole 'no rom(s) for my device' problem. I mean its a samsung phone. How can a samusung phone not have custom roms. I couldn't even find its stock. The only thing i could find close was a lollipop update but that wasn't even there for my model. So i request many(or all!) rom makers to please start making roms for this model or its other versions. I mean i bought a samsung to escape the whole stock shindig and now this. If you find or make(or decide to make) a rom for this phone please tell us. If possible please reach out to top developers as well such as Cyanogen or omni or others! PLEASE make this happen
ROOT?
I think a root for this device must come first, right? I have tried EVERY app and pc software available and failure:crying:is my only outcome.

Root for Core Prime
Hello all,
Were you guys able to find root access to the Galaxy Core Prime? If not, find the kingoroot apk and download and run. You dont need a pc to do so. If youre looking for a custom recovery i suggest TWRP. They have a build for the phone. Let me know if you have any other questions. I am currently running lollipop on a friends phone with it as I told her she needed root and of course she ended up soft bricking it....which is no big deal which is why i have this phone temporarily.. Im searching for an AOSP rom now. if i find one other than my lollipop upgrade ill report back.

try this: install twrp, reboot in twrp,reboot system. it will ask you if you want to root your phone. slide to root and will install superuser installer. reboot phone, go to menu and open superuser installer. it will prompt you to install superuser. choose twrp button( down and right side button) and twrp will install superuser. twrp is installed via odin. choose twrp-2.8.7.1.img.tar from the folder recovery in the PDA section of odin and flash-it. sorry but i can't post link

Please please
sm-g360h havent any coustom rom

the phone is realy good and many peuple have it so can you give me a cm for it or a lollipop rom
thanks whith rom or not ☺☺☺
Can someone port 5.1.1 rom from G361H to G360H (which on 4.4.4)? Both have same specs. Only difference is one is 3G & other is 4G. Please..
try kingo root !
download and install on ur pc!
1 click root!
should have internet cconnection while rooting!
I could probably build a version of slim pickins for this device ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rom-slimpickins-stock-rooted-bloated-t3250883 ), I don't have the device myself but the process would be similar. If anybody would be interested in this and or testing it for me shoot me a PM.

Need to know what firmware/region you all need the rom for I'm assuming INS/APA3 but I need to know for sure before I can start building.

Root Core Prime - from Scratch, Safely KingoRoot:
As usual, declaration: :silly: You may lose your Warranty or brick your phone.
1. Install KingoRoot for your PC. (kingoapp.com/)
2. Install Samsung Usb drivers or KIES and Smart-switch from Samsung to your PC. (drive.google.com/file/d/0BxlC2mqv2yMneE5FemFzd3dmRkU/view?usp=sharing)
3. Go to Settings > About Device on your phone, and tap continuosly on Build Number until Developer Options option becomes available.
4. Open Developer options > Check USB Debugging option and uncheck Verify apps via USB option.
5. Open KingoRoot on your PC and connect your phone. When a pop-up appears check Always allow box and select Grant.
6. If Kingo cannot apply ROOT by Safe method, it will prompt you. If you don't want to mess with warranty, please discontinue. Otherwise, continue to ROOT.
7. If rooting was successful, there will be a SuperUser app installed. Verify ROOT by Rootchecker from Playstore.
8. You can uninstall the Kingo App (not the SuperUser app).
P.S.
1. If you are running Jellybean , you may be able to get ROOT access without tripping the KNOX counter (Warranty Intact).
2. Do not flash any SU binary update other than from inside of kingo SuperUser app, as it will DEFINITELY void your warranty.
3. You can also try the KingoRoot phone app without a PC.

Flash firmware?
Does it go into Download Mode? If so flash stock firmware, link available in thread by Shiny Side or Bogarrty. Worked great for me. You will have to re-root, re-TWRP, ECT. There are step by step instructions too.
Thanks agai to Shinyside and bogarrty for their excellent work.

Sorry, I really not worth a thing before coffee! The firmware in thread is for sm g360t1. Firmware is available from Samsung tho.
TWRP and root for G360H
TWRP has one for SM G360H
twrp-3.0.0-0-core33g
There's an IMG and a TAR.
I can't remember where I downloaded it but if you search Google I'm sure you'll find it. After that install SU. Easy as pie. I've done it on mine and there is no problem.

[HELP] G900V-CID11 Toshiba-locked bootloader, looking for 6.0.1 ROM working

Hi all, I can't really figure out from all the releases posted here how to find a rom which can be installed on my phone, while I'm waiting for an unclock for CID11.
I've a 900V CD11 locked with BT1 rom sim-locked and SD-not working and now I can't use my phone at all. I'm in stuck at all.
I've rooted it already, waiting for a proper rom.
I tried some roms but I always failed, the last one "G900V_PF4_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated_ROM" which is made for locked phone, was failed to upload from chainfire.flash_0.50 in the middle of flashing.. it reboots phone and it become bricked
You may kindly indicate me the steps I've to follow to install the right rom, if I've to use safestrap or chainfire.flash_0.50.apk, and if I've to flash with Odin the bootloader and with which file.
Thank you so much, please add any consideration that you can consider important!
with the G900V, you dont want to try to unlock the bootloader or itll hard brick. You have to use safestrap
---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------
if you go to sammobile.com, you can get the stock image to flash in odin to unbrick if its just softbricked. You may want to check the G900V forums to make sure that you dont flash a version that doesnt have root available for it, as vzw has locked the device down like fort knox. Im at work currently, but can look further into this for you after 6pm cst
I tried to unlock and it didn't hard brick.
I can use safestrap but to upload what? I can't unlock it (it's CID11), and I can't find a ROM valid for this phone! (the one I used (suggested on the root phone procedure) is SIM-locked and with SD not working).
I hope someone can suggest me a rom which will work on my phone. Thank you
also, i dont know what you mean by "toshiba-locked bootloader"
Wow you're in the wrong area... Go here and scroll down to prepare your phone for root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=64744405
Actually read everything and make sure you understand it before doing it because if you tried to unlock your bootloader when you have the wrong emmc (11 instead of 15) you either didn't read or or didn't understand the thread good luck and you should stick with the vzw specific threads with the 11 good luck and happy flashing

thank u for help! Are u addicted to that forum? I would really appreciate if u give me some help finding an uploadable version. I'm looking for a 6.0.1 with sim unlocked, root if possible and SD working. If there isn't exist one a LL could be good too, my phone is sim-locked now and isn't reading SD, so I can't use it.
Yes I rooted it, I can use safestrap and chainfire flash application (superSU installed). Thank you so much!
I've found the ROM, now I'm on 6.0.1 but without SD usage, looking for a fix..
Does it happen anyone that after BP1 flashing the SD card is not more available? Have you ever lost SD card with wrong ROM?
I don't know if it is electric problem or software
When you tried to unlock your bootloader it wiped it so you will need to reformat it for it to work again... If you would have read the thread you would know this?
So, does it not boot at all now?
Tes it works good, the only problem is that it can't read SD.
Yes I formatted it FAT32 already and other pone and PC works with it without problems.
When it was ROM G900FXXU1BOC7 it worked, after update to PB1 it didn't, is that possible that ROM prevent see SD?
Thank you
i believe @bad bone is correct, it sounds like the problem is the bootloader. You may have to flash a pit file in Odin to correct this. im basically bowing out on this because where your problem is may also lie a den of dragons. Im just hoping that a bump in this thread will get the attention of someone more familiar with this variant of the device. Also, locked bootloaders are the bane of Samsung using existence

I have the same device as you, I am on stock Android 5.0 rooted (CID 11), what ROM are you using for 6.0.1? Is your device still rooted? Can you point me to a helpful tutorial?

I have a Verizon s5, rooted it with a method on here by jrkruse I believe, flashed the stock debloated rom, have safestrap and su and busy box installed, then flashed MOAR rom for 5.0, I have CID 11, running pb1.

i found mine with it, its pretty awesome, somehow scans huaweis entire database.
havnt tried the rom yet though. and you need your EXACT firmware number, if you could boot into os thats under settings and about phone, if you are bricked/ boot loop however, i dont know, maybe theres an adb command to find it?
sorry, im not much help.

Translated with Google and download factory image for your phone and flash it with sp flash tools.
regarding root
I've heard good things about Magisk for rooting
but whatever you do, I do not recommend using supersu.com(an impostor site) as that's what broke my phone...anyway, only downoad root and other system stuff from xda, or linked to from xda...if you want traditional root you can try the supersu from xda, but make backups beforehand, you need a custom recovery for it anyway...
romanian rom = unbrick
thanks for the link, the romanian rom seems fine...
no idea why there are country-based roms though, what's the difference?
the phone won't run at all to do this please please please help
please
I have made custom roms for huawei y3 ii lua-l21

Problem rooting G710

Hey guys, can you help me? I'm having a big trouble with my Grand 2
(Sorry for my crappy English, Spanish is my first language, so I can't speak English very well)
Here's the problem: I recently got a Grand 2 G710 (Single SIM), it's a cool phone but I want to root it, install a Custom Recovery and flash it a custom ROM, but since I was looking for the files for my phone, I discovered something weird, the codename for the Single SIM variant is "ms013g" but in my phone appears as "ms013gss" and to be honest, I didn't try to root it because two reasons:
1) The CF flashable zip file is supposed to be used on a phone with KitKat firmware, but mine is on Jelly Bean and I can't update it because this is the latest update released by the carrier and when I try to update it via OTA, it says the latest update is installed.
2) I can't find a root method for the JB firmware
Also, I'm checking the latest ROMS Released for the Grand 2, but mostly of the custom ROMS are for the G7102, I don't know if there's ROMS for the G710 or you can use the same ROMS for the G7102, so please, if there's someone who can help me with this, I would be very thankful for your help, I know some things about flashing ROMS on Samsung devices, so you can skip the basic things.
I attached some screenshots of some information from my phone which it would be helpful.
Thanks in advance

Ill help you with some research more ROMs for youre G710
Commonly grand2 devices are sm g7102 so its really hard when you dont have the model. Also im gonna research root methods for youre phone, its the most important common thing you need.
---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------
Update: Since youre in grand 2 and you have custom recovery installed. Try downloading the supersu zip file from the chainfire website (it has updates so check the latest one), go to custom recovery, flash the zip file like you flashed the roms and youre done.

Samsung S5 (SM-G900F) stopped loading

Hi,
My gf's phone stopped loading yesterday (stuck at the SAMSUNG logo), so I've tried to factory-reset it via recovery menu. Unfortunately, this didn't help, so I've decided that I need to re-flash the system. After some search I found https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-flash-samsung-stock-rom-via-odin.htm and tried to follow it. After checking the sticker behind the battery, I've learned that the model is SM-G900F. Unfortunately I wasn't sure what ROM was installed on the phone before and couldn't find any Ukrainian ROM, which is where the phone was bought originally. In the end, I decided to try installing latest ROM for Germany O2, since this is the operator that my gf uses now.
Unfortunately, Odin refused installing that image with an error "FAIL! (Auth)". After some further searching, I've noticed that when the phone is in download mode, it shows model name SM-G900V. I have no idea why and the ROM that was there before was clearly non-Verizon. Still, having no other option, I've downloaded Verizon ROM and it installed successfully. Luckily the phone has booted, but as expected, it wouldn't connect to any other network than Verizon, which is kinda useless to me given that we live in Germany and use O2. Now I wonder if it's possible to somehow root the phone, install custom recovery and flash that German O2 ROM?
The device is running Android 6.0.1 and kernel 3.4.0. How do I root it? How do I install custom recovery? Which one would you recommend?
Thanks,
Sergiy
In order to root it and install custom recovery you need to follow this guide

Seems, you can read russian.
You may like to follow this my guide to flash SM-G900V with an international 6.0.1 ROM.
I think, you can even use VIA (O2) CSC.
P.S. Please, pay attention to:
1. The first boot after factory reset may take 12-15 min (but not more than 20), so be patient. This was the problem, I guess.
2. Read the QA section in my guide to find the answers to your questions about root and custom recovery. And feel free to ask questions (here or there).

Радий був допомогти.
And note for the next time: it's a good idea to try clearing cache and safe boot before performing a factory reset
