Rooting SM-G360H
Thank you very much for the SM-G360H guide.
This is my experience:
I downloaded #1 Odin v3.09 and #2 Root Kernal. After doing everything in the video, the Odin program showed Pass, but at this stage I wasn't rooted. I downloaded #3 iRoot (the .exe for Windows not the apk) and ran that, and I was then rooted (eg, I could use Titanium Backup). Great, Thank you.
Issues:
1. When rebooting my phone, on the screen that shows Samsumg Galaxy Core Prime during reboot, I have a red exclamation mark (!) in the top left corner. This disappears as the boot process continues. Can you tell me what this is... is it an indication that the phone is rooted? There are many threads on how to get rid of it as well as a red triangle, but is it necessary?
2. As mentioned above I downloaded 3 programs. I'm not sure which one caused an additional program to be installed which took over my browser preferences (IE and Firefox), which I could not eliminate via normal program removal. The home page changed to ww,omniboxes,com and seemed to be stuck somewhere in the registry. I had to revert to a previous image of my Windows OS. So watch out for this.
Suggestion:
May be you could include links to the best place to download the 3 files/programs in order to avoid virus/registry entries on PC.
Do you know if there is a CWM or TWRP for our SM-G360H phone?
Thanks.

the red warning mark shows that your system and device has been modified....
means warrany is void ..
but you can flash stock rom via odin and warning mark will be gone.....
and ur phone will be unrooted......

cwm
kindly make cwm

It worked for me .
but a little red exclamation mark appear when I turn on the phone .
Anyway , it seems Universal unroot doesn't work to unroot this device

rooting sm g360h duos
why is step 2 and 3 necessary?
do i need to uninstall the extra's that are installed on the phone by iroot? (as mentioned in other videos? see: How to Root any Android Device in less than 5 minutes with IROOT [HD] on youtube)
are there any risks on leaving those files installed?
thanks in advance!

G360F
Hey do you know if that works on G360F too? I'm guessing it would but since im kinda new to the whole rooting the phone thing i'd be far less concerned if i could get the opinion from someone who has actually done it before

no it will not work for sm g360f.
360f is differnt....it is 4g model with single sim and with snapdragon.

G360-F
Hello! I have the European model for Samsung Galaxy Core Prime (G360-F).
It is brand new and factory unlocked, but I don't know how to root it.
I've tried several methods (frameroot, vroot, etc.) but it won't work.
The phone is on 4.4.4 Kitkat right now. Any help, please?
Thanks a lot!

Ive been unable to find anything other than specs for this phone. Its the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime for cricket. Does anyone have any experience trying to root this one? Also are there any known major differences in the various models aside from gsm vs cdma?

Samsung galaxy core prime rooting
i have followed all the steps in the rooting of my phone.
i ended up with a chines app installed that is useless and i dont know if my phone is corrupted, virus infected....????
i installed a super user on the android device samsung galaxy core prime, but i am now lost on what more to do.
all the software provided seems to point to a chinese product with no english version.

Once u use odin then use iroot for pc it will root and install chinese supersu .Uninstall chinese version with a supersu from playstore and update binary:screwy::thumbup:

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to root a core prime sm-g360g?
(I would make my own thread but I can't for some reason)
So far I have tried Kingroot iRoot (apk and PC) and towelroot, I have also tried the Odin methods for the other models without success (because of the firmware difference). I have a clean copy of the 4.4.4 firmware if any files are needed from that.
Kind regards

samsung galaxy core prime sm-g360t1
Hi ! Have been a student of xda dev a long time. New to this though, thanks for all your previous help. I just bought the new Metro Samsung Galaxy Core Prime sm-g360t1 running lollipop 5.1.1. The phone comes with options to unlock bootloader and another to jailbreak the phone from metro. This is something I have not seen before, have you? I still can not find a root method or app that will work, any help there?

[Q] Looking for Root for SM-G530AZ

Looking for a root for the Cricket branded Galaxy Grand Prime (SM-G530AZ). Although all the root methods I have found pertaining to the Grand Prime say they are compatible with the SM-G530H and all it's variants, I can't get it to work. Every time I try flashing through ODIN, I get a failed message, and the phone freezes. Battery pull is the only way to reset it.
Android Version 4.4.4
Baseband Version: G530AZTUU1AOC1
Build Number: KTU84P.G530AZTUU1AOC1
I have seen one member on previous Grand Prime root threads that claims to have had success with the Cricket version. If anyone has any insight, or has had any luck, please let me know.

What is the failed message that you're getting?

Does the G530AZ variant have Custom recovery? if it has you can just flash supersu zip thru cwm or twrp. I have G530H it works for me.

I tell u this because i have the same phone and same model i have been searching
For like a week or so and found it
Hope u enjoy it

UPDATE - SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED SM-G530AZ!
Please read this post carefully if you wish to root your SM-G530AZ Cricket branded Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime phone. The file linked in the original post of this thread does NOT work with this particular model number!
Note: I cannot post links yet since I have not yet hit 10 posts (this is some kind of anti-spam measure I assume) so the link to the file I mention is (please fix the URL by removing spacing; the URL has no spaces in it): http : // download1031 . mediafire . com/1gu77v6t67sg/8mn3f1ppmkxk94b/SM-G530H-4.4.4.zip
Anyway, there was no answer to my question, as I'm impatient and cannot wait longer than a day, so I took the plunge and decided to try the root flash file listed here. The "1_cfroot_sm-g530h_mohan.tar.md5" provided in this thread did NOT work. Odin reported the following:
Upon power-cycling my phone by way of battery removal and insertion I found that the device would not boot. Thankfully, prior to trying this, I had done quite a bit of searching and remembered an alternate root image for the Grand Prime G530H called "SM-G530H-4.4.4.zip". It is available at (see link in NOTE above; you can also find it by Googling it I believe). At this point I figured it could not hurt anymore to try another image so I launched the device back into Odin mode and used the CF-Auto-Root.tar file included in the ZIP file.
I stopped yelling and screaming in anger because -- it worked! After updating the firmware Odin then restarted the phone three times. During the restarts, the pane in Odin's window above the "ID:COM" pane was grey and was labeled "RESET". After the third reboot the phone launched into Android. I then went into the Applications window on the phone and found "SuperSU". The phone was indeed rooted! Shortly after I launched SuperSU, the "RESET" label in Odin turned from grey to green and changed to "PASS!". I unplugged and plugged back in my phone so that I could use the Android SDK "adb" tool in Mac OS X (I ran Odin 3 from a Windows 7 virtual machine in VMWare Fusion) and launch a shell on the phone. To confirm all was well with my root access I typed "su" in the shell, confirmed authorization for the process when SuperSU prompted me, and there I was -- root!
And, for completeness, here is the Odin v3 output of my successful flash using CF-Auto-Root.tar located in SM-G530H-4.4.4.zip:
In summary:
The particular SM-G530H root firmware file linked by the OP in this thread will NOT work with a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530AZ model phone ("Cricket" wireless company branded). Instead, use the CF-Auto-Root.tar located in the SM-G530H-4.4.4.zip located at (see link in NOTE at top of this post).
Anyway, thank you for the post OP, and to whomever created both the firmware images (even though the first one failed on me!) for all the hard work you put in. You are the lifeblood of this community!

It's really frustrating, it wouldn't happen if I didn't click on software update. Can anyone help me or doIneed a new phone?

You're good. Just sounds like you are stuck in download mode. Try pulling your battery out. If that doesn't work, do a battery pull, and instead of powering up normally, press Volume Up, Home, and Power at the same time. This should allow you to do a factory reset.
If that still doesn't work, you're looking at flashing stock firmware through Odin. Very simple if you can follow instructions. There are many guides on this site that walk you through using Odin.

SM-G530AZ fix
I had the same problem with galaxy sm-g530az.
Put the phone into recovery mode.
Connect the phone to computer usb
Update phone with adb at the same time as you open Samsung kies.
If both are done at the same time Samsung kies will get a huge update. After it is done you should have Samsung kies lite. Use the firmware upgrade and initialisation process. It might still tell you it can't recognize the phone the first time or two. Just keep trying a couple times it will recognize the phone and complete the process.
Good luck

Use web browser king root.apk down load it from google crome on cell phone u may have to look for 4.5.0

1. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12450 and download the file.
2. Open the downloaded file
3. Install it! It will tell you its bad, don't listen to that.
4. There will be a thing asking you to root, so press it. It can take around 20-30 seconds, and now you got root!
6. Your done! Enjoy your rooted phone!

I dont even know what i have here.

I live in europe, i bought this phone.
Galaxy S4 model number SCH-I545
Android is 5.0.1
Baseband I545VRUGOF1
Build number LRX22C.I545VRUGOF1
I did follow a guide to root it, this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/samsung-s4-i545-verizon-of1-root-t3254434
It went well, i think, i hope i mean did i even root it? The start up screen changed to some unlocked img.
Please help me, what is this phone is it an I9500,I9505 or SCH-I545
And today i read somewhere that i cant even root it cause its some VRUGOF abomination...
Slowly loosing it.
Basicaly i have 3 questions.
1. Did i root it?
2. What type of a ROM can i replace that stock rom with.
3. I only need to replace the rom cause VERIZON ROM does not have an OPTION TO ENABLE CALLER ID so no one sees my phone number when i am calling them.

I managed to get my caller ID shown when i called my provider and told em to shut down the CLEAR function.
But still i would love to have some other ROM then this god awfull Verizon one.

Boot into download mode and check the model there.
Verizon phones have locked bootloaders which make rooting and installing custom roms a pain. I think you have to loki patch it.
---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
Also, the SCH-I545 is a rebranded GT-I9505.

ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I545
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK: Off
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0X30
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE
eMMC BURST MODE: enabled

That means it's a Verizon I9505. And the bootloader is locked.
If yoi have SuperSU installed then it is rooted. Though the unlocked img startup screen might mean you unlocked the bootloader. I have no idea.

1. Unlocked image with custom label on started screen means your system area has some changes.
To check whether your phone have properly rooted, get a rootchecker.apk from google playstore and run that app. That will tell your root condition. If you have not installed the supersu please install it .
2. AT&T and Verizon S4 have locked bootloader so it is very tedious to install the custom rom. You can only install the Touchwiz rom.
3. If you don't like your stock rom use debloater application to remove the apps that you are not using. I have AT&T S4 and that was what I did.

Application Root Checker Basic told me.
Congratulations! Root acces is properly installed on this device!

You still require a root manager app (like SuperSU) for it to work properly.

First of all thank you all for helping me understand what i actually have here.
I have installed SuperSU
So i mean am i set? Can i just install some clean stock rom from US?

Flashing roms does not require root. Root is just for apps that require root. To flash roms you require a custom recovery.
Flashing a stock rom can only be done in Odin. If you flash a stock rom, you lose root and custom recovery.
What you want is a custom stock rom. Custom stock roms are based on the original Samsung touchwhiz, but they are rooted and have custom options, and they can be flashed with the custom recovery.

First you must get ODIN which is a program from Samsung
GET Odin HERE : 3.10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
How to use ODIN: http://www.samsungodindownload.com/odin-tutorial/
Second you must get the Marshmallow ODIN files for 4.4.2 Which are as follow....
BL https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891602
AP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891890
CP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891603
CSC https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891604
Using this will revert you back to the N900AUCUCNC2, OPEN ODIN AND RUN THE FILES ACCORDINGLY
Third, In order to easily root I found KINGOROOT TO BE THE EASIEST.. Make sure you enable USB debugging
http://www.kingoapp.com/
BUT you can Also Use TOWEL ROOT: https://towelroot.com/
Fourth Install Super User from GOOGLE PLAY:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....supersu&hl=en
open it and run it
Fifth, Install Busy Box
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....busybox&hl=en
open it and install it
Sixth, Install Safestrap by transferring the APK from your PC to the device and running it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devd...ct/dl/?id=7216
Seventh you can pick a Rom from Here:

Hi Felix,
Thanks so much for the response. Yep, I came across this to root and go to a custom rom of lollipop, but it seems there isn't a Marshmallow rom available for AT&T note 3 due to a locked bootloader.. :/ sigh
