[Q] Galaxy Note N9100 (China Dual SIM Model) Root

Hi All,
Firstly SORRY for posting here. This should be in the dev thread, but I have no rights there.
I am unable to post to post in the developer thread (being newly registered) and I am hoping Chainfire can provide a root for the Galaxy Note 4 SM-N9100 China model. He has requested that the recovery.img file from the phone model's stock ROM be attached. He has already provided the root for a few other files but I see in another post, he didn't do it for this one because he couldn't download the firmware easily. I have downloaded the stock firmware and extracted the needed file.
If someone with dev posting rights can help post the attached file to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683&page=55
I would be super super appreciative :fingers-crossed:
Many thanks.

For thanks in advance to Chainfire, I have just made a donation.....
.... now praying.... can't use my apps purchased on Google Play on this phone without the root.

thanks chainfire!
tried it on mine but it didn't work. had a flash write failure...

Maybe Locked Bootloader
First, big thanks to Chainfire for the super fast action!!
But yeah, I've got the same issue. The recovery.img was from sammobile for n9100, so I don't think that is the problem.
I am suspecting it is a locked bootloader. Unfortunately I'm not at the moment able to detect this as while adb is working fine, fastboot is not recognizing the device. If anyone else knows how to easily check if the bootloader is locked (and has a good way to unlock without using fastboot), everything would be great.

Fastboot not supported for n9100
Ok tried fastboot on a different PC. Doesn't work for n9100 either. Can't detect devices in bootloader mode. Adb is ok. So likely not usb issue, must be simply not available on n9100 and from searching about seems Samsung likely doesn't support fastboot for many devices.

Troubleshooting
After further research, not too sure about the bootloader being the issue. Actually the SM-N9100 is not carrier branded or locked that I could tell. If the other models' roots work, then it makes no sense for this to be the issue here.
Chainfire, I see you posted that you may replace the ROOT you made for this model. If it helps in troubleshooting, here is what happened.
1 - Downloaded the stock firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=36308
2 - Posted to you the recovery.img file from the ROM - not sure if that was the one you used. But after soft bricking my device by trying the root, I can confirm that I could reflash with the stock firmware and all went well.
3 - When trying the root, it starts no problem, but then there is a Write Fail error in Odin. If needed, I can repeat the process to provide all text and screenshots. There was no Red Android icon. The bootloader screen has some failure message and the Android icon remained green.
4 - Phone would not restart stating there was a firmware issue and that I should perform a recovery in Kies.
5 - I did not perform a recovery in Kies, but rather I reflashed (using Odin) the stock firmware. This worked ok.... but of course, I still have no root. Since the reflash worked, then I can only assume the recovery.img file is fine for my SM-N9100
I have used your Autoroot in the past for my Note 2 N7100 model, and it worked with absolutely no issue whatsoever. So I don't think the problem is that I am not following the Odin settings correctly or that I have some USB issue.
Thanks.

Further Details
I've added a screenshot of the Odin failure.
BTW, I noticed someone posted a rooting video in YouTube with this CF AutoRoot for N9100
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXpPSjlzrok
Funny the video stops right before the failure and you don't see the "PASS" result in Odin!
So I don't know if anyone has been successful with this root at all!

sm-n9100
Hi
I rooted my SAMSUNG GT-N9100 with Cf-Auto root via Odin everything was ok process was passed and phone took a restart i checked the apps there was superSU but when i opened it, it just waiting and happened nothing. I restart my phone in recovery mode to update gapps or other superSu upte it giving a write error. it was not rooted you can't do anything.

since you buy N9100, so i consider u can read a few chinese (if not u can use google translate to help u)
i've seen in chinese forums they can root N9100 without problems, so i give u a few links to help
here is the step by step for root :
http://www.muzisoft.com/root/80910.html
and
in here it said u need to flash cwm first..this is the link for recovery
http://www.muzisoft.com/recovery/80827.html
and then after that u need to put supersu.zip to ur sd card, so this is the link for the supersu.zip
http://www.muzisoft.com/softs/bixu/80821.html
hope this can help root ur device
or actually u can download root apps in chinese, there are a few root apps that u can use for root the phone

Looks like the 9100 just got the recent OTA yesterday.
I'm rooted so need the full Odin flashable ANK5 from sammobile:

Keep getting status 3 errors with chinese CWM.
Does any one know how to get twrp installed on sm-n9100.

Hi Aligu,
Thank you for your help :good: . Have you also tried to flash a custom ROM into your Dual sim N9100 ?

Does the root method for n9100 china version also works on hong Kong version without any problems.

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. Please someone help!!!!I am new to being a member but the forums have helped me learn anything I needed to know, as I mentioned THANK YOU !!!:good: So please some help here

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

thanx but i already installed twrp from source and it worked....

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.

have you been able to do anything with it? I have the same phone but is stuck on the cricket screen, i made the mistake of editing the build.prop and cant seem to be able to sideload or use odin to replace it... samsung wants me to ship it to them.....not sure what to do yet.

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.

Can u help me with root?

I have Samsung Galaxy Core Prime LTE SM-G361F, android version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: G361FXXU1APD3
Where i can find rooted files for this version?
And, how to remove FRP lock from system?
I dont wanna to brick my phone :/
Thank You
PatrikPaCho

To remove FRP Lock, You need to remove your Lock Screen (Set it to -None- or -Swipe-), and Remove all Accounts from your Phone including Google.
To get Root, Flash your phone with a Stock G361f firmware (with odin) (google for the firmware, It doesnt need to be your exact Baseband version, If the firmware starts with G361F then it will work fine), Setup your phone after flashing your Stock Firmware.
Then Flash this on Odin: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023707113
Congrats, Your rooted!
If you want to have TWRP after getting root flash this file with odin (3.0.2.0 recommended): http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...sm-g361f-unofficial-twrp-2-8-7-3-0-2-t3425402

Thank u very very much

Changing BMC to INS (CSC)

Hey guys!
I bought s8 Canada version (bell carrier) and i moved back to India. I need to change the CSC to INS which was formally BMC, as i can't use features like Samsung Pay.
Can you guys please let me know how to change the CSC code. Also, creating a new samsung account didnt help.
Thanks in advance.

Download S8 India firmware extract CSC.
Install safestrap in S8 and then either raplace CSC manually in /system or make a zip of CSC and flash in safestrap. And delete OMC folder having original CSC. before changing anything make sure you backup efs partition in safestrap in case something goes wrong.

Thanks much man. But that would mean that i can't update my OS beyond nougat, isn't it?
This might sound stupid, but can i do the flashing using odin? or would that brick my device?

With safestrap you can have either rooted nougat or Oreo or pie and switch between these anytime you want. I guess you are on bootloader rev5. To get safestrap you have to follow jrkruse EDL method then follow his Oreo or pie guide.
This process uses modded Odin and safestrap to install. Make you follow his instructions to T
If you want rooted nougat let me know I can send you instructions.
What software you are currently on?

Yes.. I'm on rev5. Please don't mind me saying this, but I dont want to root my phone coz i tried it before on oneplus 5 and it went terribly wrong :laugh: . So, if there is no way i can do it using odin and flashing HOME_CSC i really don't want to risk it. But, thanks a lot for all this . And sorry for bothering with so much details. Thanks much.
