In my attempts to root this device my boot was damaged. I can get into stock recovery and download mod but of course I can not find any roms including the stock for this device. Can someone PLEASE send me there boot.img. If you have the full stock rom for this model SM-G360T1, that would be awesome too. THX!

Ok so I should have more faith in myself. So by the end of my nightmare I messed up my boot AND my recovery and could only get into download mode. On a hunch I got ahold of the stock rom for the SM-G360T which is the T-Mobile version of this phone and being as they run on the same network(Same company now) the boot.img and recovery.img WORK ON THIS MODEL. Im back in my phone and everything is running perfect. So for those out there that know WAY more about making roots and roms you might be able to use this stock rom to finally root this monster. Or at least if you soft brick your device you can use these files to get back into your phone until we are able to get the stock rom for this phone. The link to the stock rom for the SM-G360T is below. Hope we get a root for this phone soon. THX!
Im a noob poster on Xda so I cant link it but just go to sammobile.com and search for SM-G360T and make sure you sign up and activate ur account its free you just have to do that or the download link is broke. Have fun.
Did you have to do any unlocking?
im currently downloading the tmobile sm-g360t image( i also have the metro sm-ge360t1) which i had soft bricked by flashing a root for the h* model. I just wanted to know after odin the tmobile imagine were you just able to pop in you're metro im and go? thanx

Ya bro I did the extact same thing with the H root. Just put the boot.img in a tar and flash it like u did the H and it will fix it. You might get a security message after but u can just go to Kies and update back to stock if you dont mind losing all your data. Cheers.
The whole rom isn't tested

I extracted just the boot.img and made my own tar to flash just the kernel, which was the problem. Flashing the whole rom isn't what you need to do in this case. Just make a mental note that you can you use the boot.img and recovery.img to get back into android.
Hello this is androidadmirer
i recently bought a samsung galaxy core prime from metro pcs
out of the box lolipop 5.1.1
i have an idea how to break this phone loose
but i need some input from you all to see if i'm wrong or if this is possible
so my plan is to use odin to flash the samsung core sm-360hu version firmware and they have a working twrp recovery
then make a rom with the t mobile firmware and insert su in bin and xbin (the t mobile firmware works perfect because it's the same network and same android 5.1.1 o.s
this sounds really good in theory but i don't know if i am totally right
can someone chime in on this please
any help will be very appriciated
Let me know

Let me know if that custom recovery works if not u can use the sm-g360t (t-mobile) to get back though if I remember right the phone has to be rooted for twrp to work right not sure....also you should be able to get the stock rom from smart switch if you force the update that way you have the rom that was made for it as a base...I will try and get the rom and post it I was just checking and there is an update.

im gonna try and flash the galaxy grand prime rom and then use odin to flash a recovery on it because its only 4.4.4 so my thought was to flash the "downgraded 4.4.4" then flash the twrp and then make a rom from the t mobile odin firmware
where is the link? thanks

SM-G360T1 "boot.img" And "recovery.img" Files
I just uploaded the "boot.img" and "recovery.img" from the latest stock update for the SM-G360T1 on this thread here if anyone needs it in the future.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62457159&postcount=42
EDIT: Updated this post today with ODIN flashable boot and recovery files. Be sure to read the whole post before flashing. Thanks!
I tried the F, H, & "lte" versions firmware, still no positive results, I keep having to flash back to the stock boot.img and recovery.img that bogarty has just linked above.... we need to find a way to unlock this bootloader on this devicez firmware... TWRP seems so close to working.
Huh?
TEFjLONjDON said:
Ok so Unlocking the Phone for use on other carriers is not the same as unlocking the bootloader. thank fully our bootloader is not locked... But it is always a good idea to completely free your device.. SO
As long as you own your device out-right and it was purchased >90 days ago, then Metro cant say no.
This post is just for those that don't already know, (make sure you do this first before you flash a recovery or try a root method)
The Samsung Galaxy Core Prime comes locked from Metropcs by default. But after you buy it and its yours..
just call them @ (+1-888-8METRO8) or (1-888-863-8768)
1. Ask for tech support
2. Ask for the unlock code,
3. Tell them you leaving the carrier.. or the country.. and they will give you the unlock codes (plural 2 codes one for the Device and the other for the Sim card if you say your leaving the country).
4. Put in the code and your good to go..
PS... Its your device.. Bought and payed for...... They really can't say NO..........

send from hdx 7 using tapatalk
I didnt found a way to unlock my sm-g360t1, i made the root and tryed several boxes that told me "device unlocked" but wasnt true. Have to pay 24 bucks online to whitelist imei and unlock it trought the device unlock app. I flashed the stock rom from sammobile before but maybe works with the rooted phone too. Problem solved for me
so i got the frp message. odin flashed stock recovery and boot now it gets stuck on the metro pcs screen..... FML can anyone help me fix this problem ?
I had to flash the stock from sammobile SM-G360T1 is what you have to search for then start over but make sure the oem unlock is switched to in that causes the frp (factory reset protection)

You need to re flash the entire stock rom thru Odon to reconfigure the other partitions and framework. Go to live . Samsung updates or sammobile and download a stock rom to your pic then run it thru Odin... This should bring you back to life man. And make sure you get the proper rom as there is the i9205 lte and i9200 non lte. Good luck

Ahh is see...no as I have the mega i9205...you need to go to the development forum and look for one that's for thr i9152 specifically. The other issue is that if the latest rom for the 5.8 is anything like the newset 6.3 rom, where you see the knox 00 knox warranty flag ect in the boot screen and download mode, then there isnt a root for it yet due to the bootloader. Idk for your model as i dont have that mega...id highly suggest you go to the dev section thi and look around you shoukd be able to find out in there.

Just a word of advice...don't listen to "theys" about updates, because no body ever knows anything until an updates on their device. Lol. But yes you'll almost definitely need a new root pack for 4.3 or 4.4 whatever comes first. But the downside is that it would seem that Knox and selinux will be included in all future updates, so while root may be possible once Knox kernel fuse and Knox warranty flash are included in new bootloader, it complicates things dramatically. You may want to look into reverting to an older build of 4.2.2 if possible or a custom rom vs waiting for an update that may or may not come.

Why buy a **** touchscreen ? -.-
??Thank Me Up If I Helped You ??
also dont know if the previous owner had rooted,he said it was only 3mnths old
If you updated to the official kk which would be NE5 and this would be the most likely cause of the touchscreen not responding as phones with still the original screens has not responded after the NE5 update on other i527m mega..so your screen is not at fault.
Samsung should have tested the new kk update better before releasing the update.

Try flashing this rom from my post here and see if it will help you out and you must unpack it first and then flash with odin..and i believe this rom was made with the rogers rom, but if you did receive the new KK NE5 update then this will not likely work, but it will not harm the phone..worth a try as i use this rom in certain situations also to get back and it works great.

couldnt go to your link,browser said forbidden?
can I root this?or custom rom?any way to be useable again?thanks(also I am new to all of this so a guide would be good)
found this?
If the downgrade was from the leaked 4.4.2,then this is probably because this repackaged and leaked firmware did not have a locked bootloader.
The officially released India 4.4.2 may cause more problems with downgrading - but we will have to wait and see if it contains a locked bootloader.
I didn't downgrade from leaked 4.4.2... My downgrade from official 4.4.2 DBT was also successfully in spite of new BL. I mean, didn't change BL with downgrade, just the firmware via Odin. And luckily the new BL from 4.4.2 works fine with firmware 4.1.2... that's what I wanted to inform about, because many think that it will not work, but it does! (At least in 3 oder 4 cases with german firmware.)
There is always a risk, yes, but maybe, somebody doesn't like 4.4.2 just as me and needs an idea to go back without root, so that's the answer I want to give.

ROOT_JDQ39.I527MVLUBNA3.tar
And check my post here as it will help you in the flashing using odin and all .tar files are flashed this way, the only difference when flashing a recovery is you uncheck the reboot box and with other .tar files for roms etc. you check that reboot box, but everytime odin is restarted the reboot box will be checked already..let me know how this all goes with that rom above that i put a link to and the other stuff as all the custom roms in this mega section by @Silesh.Nair can be flashed and these are all the custom roms i tested so far that work on the i527m mega, but they all work even the newer ones and the custom roms i tried can be seen in this thread

Make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed on your computer so odin recognizes your phone
Just install it in Odin .
Then download a rom of choice and follow the install instructions for the particular Rom

The easiest way is to downgrade to an earlier version that you can use towel root to root with .. As far as I know their is no way to root NH5 as of now .. I could be wrong but Im pretty sure ..Have you rooted a samsung device before ?

There's a way to root every version of software they're released. Since the bootloader is unlocked, all that's needed is to flash a custom recovery, then when TWRP asks you if you want to root, just click yes, and you're done. It'll always be like this unless they lock the bootloader.

Google is your friend. Don't take this the wrong way, but if people keep giving you links, you'll never find what you're looking for yourself. If you just google "TWRP Galaxy S5", the first link is the right one. It'll tell you how to flash it as well using ODIN.

Why? Tmobile does even care.
No I know that, but Samsung AllShare Cast Dongle does care.. the dongle won't work on a rooted device. I had a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 that I rooted but I used triangle away to reset counter and it then would work. I use my tablet and dongle most nights and my other allshare in my car for my appradio. The S5 and Tab S will be first devices I didn't root
Any news on Knox?
Its been awhile since i rooted my phones and flashed roms. I juat rooted my s5. But i dont believe i installed a custom recovery. In the past i always downloaded rom manager and installed cwm through the app. But it says device not compatible. Or ud download goo manager and install twrp through that app and i dont see the version for my tmobile s5 listed. Can someone help me with flashing a custom recovery. And recommend any stable custom roms i should try out. Also if there is anything i need to be careful of when flashing i dont care about tripping my knox counter. My device isnt warrantied anyway.

I (somehow) managed to achieve root privaliges on my Galaxy Core Prime Cricket variant (SM-G360AZ) this morning. Since I've had this device, I've noticed there is little to no information available on, well...anywhere. Is anyone aware of any working custom recoveries that are available for this device? I am a dedicated flashaholic and I would like to know if there are...before this phone ends up in GCP heaven...lol thanks...

Problem with cricket core prime
turns out that all of the twrp releases i tried didnt work, didnt have a backup of original recovery, so i flashed this one from g360p with same firmware baseband and now recovery works again.. I hope this helps someone.

OK this is very very simple. No need to unlock sim. Download a rom from whatever service provider ie... att tmobile. The only thing you need is for it to have an aroma installer format your memory put your new Sim card in flash then go and download new recovery for the phone ie.. 900t as your recovery is 900p after then find a stock rom flash new recovery then your new stock rom and poof profit 4g. New phone. Fckn magic and I am a novice who messed with everything everyone else said with no luck best was hspa. But it would always jump towers roam no signal blah blah. Now I feel like I have a new tmobile phone 28mbs download .is the lowest I have pulled.

Have you tried it. Then dont post on my thread what am I spamming a work around that will help ppl. Your sad my friend
so, where is your work, i have note 3 sprint and i want activate 4g in europe
OK so first off...Wow try to help ppl out. You guys r a bunch off asshats, I believe I explained in the first post how to do it. And the last guy that made a post did I say Europe international unluck. My obvious answer would be just follow the one of the other post because unless your staying their I don't even know what carriers they have. But to domestically turn your sprint phone into lets say att or tmobile ir verizon. All notes have same hardware inside the only different is the locked bands you can't use. So I am going to try and make this simple as I can.
1... ROOT
2.... INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY
3.... DOWNLOAD A ROM WITH AN AROMA INSTALL AS THIS WILL LET IT BYPASS THE CHECK FOR THE CORRECT PHONE BECAUSE AS OF THIS POINT YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY IS SUPPOSE TO ONLY FLASH 900P ROMS.. THE AROMA BYPASSES THIS.
4........INSTALL THE ATT...TMOBILE... ROM IT PROBABLY WON'T BE STOCK BUT ONE
5...... REBOOT.
6.....Now YOUR PHONE Is T-mobile or att.
Nit finished though
7..... Download a CUSTOM recovery for the company you switched. to I.e....twrp 2.8.7. 900t
8..... Now you can stop or what I did just to make sure things went smooth when completing the switch I installed a stock rom called the company bam
NO SIM CARD ERRORS AND FULL 4G
AS YOU ARE USING THEIR SETUP UNBLOCKED THEIR BANDS THE ONLY WAY TO TELL THIS WAS NOT THAT COMPANY PHONE IS THE IMEI STARTING wITH 99 and the frame under the battery Haz it mark.
FLASH WHATEVER ROM YOU LIKE AFTER THAT .
PLEASE STOP ACTING AS THOUGH I DID SOMETHING WRONG TRY, RECORD IT I JOHN BEIL WILL BUY YOU A NEW PHONE IF IT DOESN'T WORK. BUT WHEN YOU FIND THAT I FOUND THE EASY WORKAROUND SECRET DONATE THANK AND SHARE TOY STORY PLEASE & THANK YOU

Ok, re read again your instructions.
Flashed the stockish lollipop T-Mobile rom.
I am all ready Sim unlocked, so can't address the sim unlock.
It seems the T-Mobile rom shows the 4G icon when connected as UMTS.
Speed test shows the same 2.5 megs. I get all ready, on any other Rom.
My Verizon phone with the same Sim gets 4 times the speed on LTE.
Thanks for working on this!

First off, thank you for this thread! I have two questions. What about getting it to work with Straight Talk? Also, what 5.0 ROM did you use that had the Aroma installer.
Just pick onone you like they will tell you if he use aroma on the first page. And yes it will work for straight talk

Yes but the only one I can find is 4.4.2 and I am on 5.0. Is it okay to downgrade to kitkat? Didn't know if it might brick it or not. Just flashed a Tmobile ROM N900TUVUFOB6-frequentc, ROM for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3 frequentc but it didn't have AROMA installer.

Yeah so I've been flashing ROMS for quite some time. In fact I use multiboot on my Nexus 6 but anyway. I have 2 Note 3s and just bricked one of them when I flashed the wrong recovery in Flashify. I am going to try and restore it with ODIN and I hope it works. I flashed Darklord's Note 5 port which was absolutely stunning till I killed the phone with the wrong TWRP recovery. The phone had the SIM not valid in another language so I'm guessing flashing the right recovery would have made it work for T-mobile. Anyway, this will be my first brick after all of these years. My other Note is booting now and I hope the T-mobile and Straight Talk sims work. If per chance it does, I can then flash the Darklords ROM and still have service? I ask because you said you can go ahead and flash any ROM you like. Edit: I am having a hard time getting this to work. Is there any way you could just tell me what particular ROM you used because now I tried the Kitkat ROM and it will not boot. Please help. Thanks!
Ok follow the directions next time I don't know if you can Odin because of adb, but Samsung has an app, don't use flashify for this use twrp don't download a T-Mobile recovery till after u flash the aroma ROM then flash T-Mobile recovery then any T-Mobile rom

I completely understand that but can you please link me to the ROM you used or any Lollipop ROM that works? I ask because I cannot find ONE with Aroma installer for T-mobile that is 5.0. The kit kat ROM I just installed is stuck on the Samsung boot animation and won't boot.
