So...I dont have a box AP in Odin. I used PHONE flashed new kernal and like magic phone rooted (YEA! )THANK YOU again! !

So...when I rebooted my phone later ( I had clicked cancel when security warning changes made to phone to cancel unauthorized changes. ..) It booted into recovery and did whatever it was going to do. When it rebooted I immediately used root checker my phone no longer rooted checked twice no longer rooted. Re flashed kernal still not rooted. BUT Titanium backup, ,super user, adfree, all still worked. Am I rooted or not? Still get annoying warning but it is small annoyance, I can easily live with for rooted phone! !

I warned you I was Noobie! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
Everyone got that security message after root. The fix for it is at this post here. :)

Also, root should be permanent so I would try flashing the root again. If you're not seeing an AP slot in ODIN, then you're ODIN is likely pretty old. You should have at least version 3.09 or higher. AP slot should be the second one down on the right side. Check the box. Put the phone in Download mode. Plug it in and flash. :)

Okay thanks for the fix. I ran root chkr one more time and it said I am rooted. Already adfree and debloated! ! Thanks again. I know you and shinyside worked hard.

Now all we neen is recovery(for xposed) .

If I can help or test, I am willing to learn. I (my dog ,really) cracked the screen on this one, so I will buy another one ( my warrenty has never been other than void) so if this messes up it is no real loss.

I root using Shiny Kernel but I dont check OEM Unlock, phone boot OK, since from my country is hard to use Play Store I use KindgoRoot to root again and use kingo su binary then I got Root Success but when I Restart my phone Stuck at Metro PCS Logo, I flash SM-G360T1_boot_ODIN.zip and SM-G360T1_recovery_ODIN.zip but nothing still stuck at MetroPCS Logo? any advice or fix?

Kind Regards

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
Do you have the SM-G360T1? Being from another country I would think you have another model. It doesn't help to just have a Galaxy Core Prime. Has to be the right model. If you don't have the exact model then you shouldn't flash any of those files. Also, don't need to flash the recovery as it doesn't affect root or boot. You shouldn't need Kingo root for anything and especially not with Shiny's root kernel because his kernel already has the root stuff you need. If you had success with Kingo too, then that also makes me wonder if you have the right phone because it doesn't work with our phone. If you do have the right phone somehow though, then did you try flashing Shiny's Trapkernel with OEM Unlocked to see if it fixed it...and are you flashing correctly?

Use this post to restore your phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62906680

Also, you want to make sure you've updated to the most current firmware. Go to "settings/About device" and make sure model says "sm-g360t1" and that baseband says "G360T1UVU1AOFA".
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] alien4u:
I have exactly that model and exactly that baseband.

Im new here but not new with phones, I have a Cell Phone Workshop, 5 years using z3x, NsPro, Octopus, and other Services Tools.

My phone dont boot so i cant go to Setting>About Devices but im sure i have that model.

I already root with Shiny's Trapkernel but I dont check OEM Unlock, I think this why I got a boot loop.

I already try with your files but nothing, still boot loop.

Please any help will be apreciate...

Kind Regards

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
That's fine. Just have to make sure. So, you did look at my "restore" post then? Really important that your phone is in "download mode"(obviously) and that you're flashing Trapkernel in the "AP" slot ONLY in ODIN & that you're checking the box next to it. If you've flashed in "BL" or another slot at any point, then that would be the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] jjbadd385:
you should try to flash the trap kernel with Odin again...i had a bootloop after flashing the SM-G360T1_boot_ODIN.zip because its for pure stock. All i did was reflash the shiny trap kernel in Odin and it fixed mine...
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] TheDerekHarper:
Yeah, I messed my phone up the other day but I was recommended this http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/53271/G360T1UVU1AOFA_G360T1TMB1AOFA_TMB/ file and it worked.

Basically you need to restore the baseband to factory settings and that's it. Your phone will be back up and running. Run the root script afterwards (properly of course.)
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
Glad that worked for ya btw. Reflashing the whole firmware is sort of a desperate last maneuver for sure(though it does restore everything) just couldn't make you a bootloader fix file at the time. I can make one for him now though if he did accidentally flash in the "BL" slot too, but still not sure if he did or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] TheDerekHarper:
Never hurts to make one regardless right?

besides, that's true but hey if all else fails, least we got something to fall back on.

So no BL mistake and I already try everything on your instructions.

So my last resort is to Full flash again, im downloading the entire firmware.

Im wondering what could cause this error, maybe what KingoRoot modify to replace the su binary? and then this firmware have a system crc check in the same way Galaxy S6's firmwares have it?

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
Yeah possibly between Shiny's root kernel and Kingo there was a conflict. Let me know how it works out. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
Was it when you were flashing root? You need to make sure you have "OEM Unlocking" checked before flashing the root kernel. It's in "Settings/Developer Options". If you don't see developer options, then go to "Settings/About device" and tap on the build number 7 times until developer options is unlocked, then go there and check OEM unlock. Try flashing root after that. Also, check out this thread for more info. :)

i should have said stock recovery. thank you for responding. you ave been a very very big help.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
So, just to clarify...TWRP is working for you, but not boot then? If you've already rooted, then you shouldn't use my ODIN boot one anymore. Just use Shiny's Trapkernel on the root thread whenever you need to fix boot. If you did flash my ODIN boot file after rooting though, then you should definitely flash Trapkernel again.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] kate cody:
ok here we go for dum stuff, I think te boot loader is locked. I didn't check it, owww tat was painful. I never relocked it but I didn't check either owww again. I will try reflashing shiny kernel I thought maybe stock kernel but I couldn't find it. thank you

---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------

sorry twrp is not working it is stock recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
Yeah. If you're already rooted then use the Shiny kernel. Think of it as an ODIN boot file for root users. Also, don't worry about the OEM unlock thing. I thought you were trying to root, not flash TWRP and it should still be checked anyway if you didn't touch it. Let me know if Shiny kernel fixes it. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
More information please. Failed during the flashing process. In ODIN? Or failed to boot afterwards? Also tell me everything you did before it stopped booting originally.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] kate cody:
downloaded twrp file. downloaded the latest version of odin put twrp in ap pressed start. on reboot I got big yellow triangle said custom kernel blocked trp. pulled battery and tried to boot again. again got yellow triangle. tried to factory reset didn't work. found thread to recover phone said to flash boot image, I used the flashable boot and flashable recovery files because I am more familiar with that than with odin. phone booted to metro screen then stopped.

then I re flashed shiny kernel odin ran and said the flash failed when phone rebooted it went to metro screen and stopped

thank you for taking time to help. I am in your debt.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
Yeah. The guy on the other thread got the FRP error after factory resetting I think too. You shouldn't factory reset after rooting. At most maybe if you wanted to reset everything and fix your phone that way I'd say download the whole firmware and flash it via ODIN. Hate to tell people to do that, but it does fix the boot problem when nothing else works.

Before trying that though, in this case I would say to maybe try flashing the stock boot & stock recovery through ODIN to fix whatever you might be missing in both. Then, if you can boot into Android and stock recovery after that go and make sure OEM Unlocking is checked and then try flashing Trapkernel & TWRP through ODIN.

If none of that works try downloading and flashing the whole firmware through ODIN from here:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G360T1/

Make sure it boots up. Check to see that OEM Unlocking is checked. Then flash Trapkernel and TWRP in ODIN again.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] TEFjLONjDON:
Me too.. Had "no boot" situation after a factory reset three days ago.

Fixed by flashing stock firmware from sammobile..

Could have saved all that trouble if I had done what [MENTION=3809642]bogarty[/MENTION] says here. " Just re-flash the Trap-Kernel."

Quote _-----------

I'm thinking that this might be a tad more confusing to follow for the average user than what I wrote. It's true that it's generally good to wipe and start clean when you have a backup, but she doesn't, so unless she wants to start all over from scratch and have to reinstall everything, then she should just flash without wiping. I did it once during testing and I retained all my apps and data and everything still runs fine. Also again, yes. No one who's rooted should factory reset EVER. They also shouldn't ever flash the stock boot either, unless of course Trapkernel's not restoring boot for them because they've already flashed something else that they shouldn't have which broke boot. Trapkernel should fix any boot problems by itself though, provided you flash that first without flashing a bunch of other stuff. ￼

I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me with an issue I've been having since I rooted my phone. Every time I reboot my phone I get a popular error. "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped"..I hit ok, & it will repeat about 3 or 4 times. After it does that, it won't do it again until I reboot again. I've fixed permissions, cleared data, I have even performed a factory reset & kept root afterwards in case you're wondering. My next solution is to flash the t mobile firmware in hopes it resolves my issue. But if anyone can offer a better solution I'd appreciate it alot. Or better yet, I will gladly accept a Custom Rom to try out..haha. Thanks. ..
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
Go into your applications in Settings and click on Google Play Services in Application Manager. Then, click on Manage Storage and try clicking Clear All Data and reboot to see if that fixes it. If you still get the error, try going to this link in the Play Store to see if Google Play Services has an update that might fix your phone:

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] jjbadd385:
Thank you, I tried your suggestions, and I had actually tried them the other day. I'm baffled as to what it could be. I'm thinking the only way I'm gonna fix it is flash a new Rom or new firmware, & since there are no roms, I'm left but with 1 choice, & i really don't want to! I was thinking about waiting on a Rom & just dealing with the small annoyance. And while I'm posting, I was trying to use xposed, but I haven't installed the xposed framework. How do I do this, and does xposed work with 5.1.1 lollipop? I have NO experience with Samsung devices, I usually use htc. But I'm really liking this device!
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
Try seeing if you can find the Google play services apk online and try reinstalling it over what you have. Make sure it's a recent version. As for Xposed. I mentioned the way to install that here on the TWRP thread. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
That's the right link and I use Winrar too. Maybe try reinstalling Winrar? Don't try to unzip the "tar.md5" file inside the zip btw. You need to flash that one in ODIN if you're trying to update your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] jjbadd385:
I just wanted to keep you informed as to what is going on with my issue, in case you or other uesrs have a similar problem. I dont know why I was having Google Play Services Crashing every time i rebooted my phone. All i did was flash the trap kernel in odin. But Im not disagreeing with you on any of your advice, but i will tell you what i have done, even though its contrary to your advice. I was rooted, and getting the Google Play Services error and tried clearing data, updating the app, everything i could over several hours of investigating through Googling my issue. So i factory restored, and kept root, but my problem remained. So i then used a fix permission app and tried that, but still i had no luck. I disabled every Google Play app, (Books, Music, TV,etc) even the Play Store and Google Play Services, and at last no error when i started my phone back up, however i had no access to any Google related app, which wouldnt bother me if i didnt play pool and use google services to buy coins..So I re enabled all my Google apps, and the error re appeared. As my last resort, I decided I was going to try flashing the official T Mobile firmware which i downloaded from SamMobile..I thought it would erase all my data and user apps, etc....but actually it was quite painless. After flashing the firware in Odin, my phone started up without the kernel message, you know the red and yellow one that appears in the top left corner after rooting?Of course it was because my phone was no longer rooted and had the official firmware on it. So then i just reflashed the trap kernel, and now my phone is again rooted an error free...yes, NO more Google Play error popups!! Its actually the best method I could have used in this situation. Of course i didnt know that when i started trying to resolve my issue, but I kept all of my apps and data in tact. Im just wondering why flashing the firmware is not a popular choice, when it worked so well? Im not disagreeing with you or your advice, but i was desperate to remove that annoying error!! Also I have one more question. Before i flashed the firmware in Odin, I really wanted to make a backup with twrp recovery. However upon trying to do so, It said i didnt have enough space, even though i have very few apps installed. Is there a way to change where the backups are stored in twrp? Perhaps to my external SD? I looked in settings but couldnt seem to find a way. But thank you for your advice, you always help. Im bad about going astray and testing other avenues because Im not very afraid of bricking my device. I like testing and playing, so if you ever need anyone, Im your man....

I just flashed the firmware and it worked great. I too d/l it from Sammobile so its likely WinRar being sensitive.

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
If you go to "Settings/About Device" in your phone and baseband doesn't say "G360T1UVU1AOFA" then you should update the firmware before rooting, as doing it after may unroot you and cause you to have to flash root again. Also, the root is based on that version so you should have it first. :)

Twrp sticking bootloader in recovery. G360T1

I was having this problem. I downloaded root cleaner from the playstore, did a full root cleaning and it works perfect now
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] bogarty:
That doesn't sound contrary to my advice at all. In fact, that's exactly what I told people to do. [emoji14] I even said above that it would allow you to keep all your apps and data. Also, while it does work pretty much every time, I only said that flashing the whole firmware should be considered a last resort because I didn't want people always thinking that that was the solution for even the tiniest of problems. A lot of times there's a simpler, less system intensive, fix and if you flash the firmware too many times without wiping it could slow down your phone after awhile or even cause instability issues. Another reason not to do it if you don't have to is the one you mentioned, that when flashing the stock firmware, it flashes back the stock kernel over your root kernel, which causes you to have reflash root. It's easy enough to do, but I think it's always good to look for ways to avoid having to do that first.

As for backing up in TWRP, yes you can back up to the external sd. That's what I do, though my TWRP is themed, so the option to switch to external is very obvious. You just have to tap on the drive and change it. I'm not sure how obvious it is when it's unthemed as I never use it that way, but there should be an option there somewhere. Also, be aware that doing a full backup of everything on this phone(system, data, etc.) requires about 4-6gbs of space(depending on what you have),as the system partition is pretty big, so you will need to use external for sure. If you don't see an option for this, I would maybe try the themed version. It's very easy to install(and uninstall), tells you more information about the backing up process and provides an even easier, more Android-like interface. If you still don't see an option for backing up to external sd after this though, then it may be that you don't have write permission to the external sd currently for some reason. I had this problem at one point, but it's easily fixed by downloading an app from the Play Store called "SD Fix" by NextApp. It's the best one and works like a charm.

Hope this all helps! :)
