Its your lucky day. After getting twrp installed, i was testing flashing with it and BRICKED HARD my phone. All I could do was download mode or a black screen that was the same. Hopefully my nightmare of a last 13 hours helps a few of you guys out there. These are system, recovery, boot odin files. Recovery is twrp, system is already rooted with kingroot. I had a fail when i tried flashing the system file, so i flashed boot and recovery with odin, then verified twrp was working right and flashed the system image. Worked like a charm, needless to say, it was alot of work. lol.

heres Odin

A Working version of TWRP 3.0.2.0 for the Core Prime LTE SM-S820 that will also work for SM-S920L Galaxy Grand Prime LTE..

#1- ●Download file from the link above

#2-● Flash using Flashify app downloaded via Playstore

#3-● Then I powered it down by pressing O.K after it completed instead of using the apps reboot dialog

#4-●Boot into Recovery using Button combo.. Vol. up + Home + POWER... Once it starts boot u will see the SEANDROID ENFORCING message pop up with Recovery in red underneath...

It will then load TWRP 3.0.2.0 that is almost 100% compatible with just the date/time function and I believe OTG support not working... Supposedly only way that it will work is with the button combo method of booting into recovery.. I havnt tried any other method besides that to find out if it will mess it up or not just not work... Having to boot it that way only is small price to pay for the working custom recovery
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] wolf20043:
Nice job guys, keep posting files, we will have all we need before you know it. If we could get a link to the stock odin-able stock it would be a plus. I can host it if no one else can.

Can the you point me to a good tuto on doing this?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] wolf20043:
All I did was download partition backup and restore from play store.

changed settings to save as .tar.gz

ran full backup of device

used a image to tar program i found to put the rest together.

All I can say is i have the luck of finding all the second hand, no file or firmware phones out there. Its a lot of digging, reading and work, which I happily share here :cowboy:

Oh, and learning linux on my own in two months helped A LOT. Everything is so much easier to understand now.

"Sm-s920l update issue"

​

I too have this issue and I don't understand why. However, if you have any information that could help would you mind to shine some light please?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] charliepop:
Straight talk will not push any updates for this phone , as they don't update any of there phones. A dev on android forums is composing a rom for this phone , so there will be options available eventually. He is our only option to upgrading this phone. He has already composed a twrp recovery for this device.

Xposed Framework on the SM-S920L No need to deodex rom works on TouchWiz 5.0.2 Stock

Once u have properly installed TWRP 3.0.2.0 as I have already posted above there is also now a way to install the most awesome thing ever to come from Android in my opinion "The Xposed Framework" The holy grail if u will of Android modifications... All u have to do download + install the Xposed framework 3.0 apk which u can find on google then make sure u have installed TWRP as instructed above then boot into it using the button combo only (any other way of accessing recovery will result in a recovery loop I have learned that only can b fixed by flashing the stock recovery and redoing TWRP) The only way to install xposed in lolipop is through a custom recovery.. So then install the zip file below in TWRP and reboot system.. Go to ur xposed app and u will see the framework is properly installed and ur ready to start adding modules.. This is a working method for SM-S920L on 5.0.2 Stock lollipop rom.. There is no need to worry about deodexing or any of that it will run perfectly fine on an odexed TouchWiz 5.0.2 Stock rom.. Email me if u have ne questions

Is there an odinable kernel for the sm-s920l please. Have rooted with King root and can't flash twrp without a stock kernel. Thanks.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Just curious as to why you would need to reflash stock recovery after flashing twrp? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose? If you need twrp why reflash stock recovery? Is this because all the twrp recoveries are flawed? I would like twrp but after flashing with flashify I was permanently stuck in twrp. I have reflashed stock recovery with Odin after a long process of trial and error to get Odin to recognize my phone. Now I need the stock kernel because king root installs it's own kernel? I assume that is why I had issue with twrp. So if I flash stock kernel then flash twrp should it work fine? Does this sound right? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Also a working twrp that is odinable the last one bricked my phone. By working I mean flash and go don't want to have to figure out how to get back into my phone after. That is what working means.

backup img

So i need a favor from someone capable.

1. search googlr play for partition backup and restore and install, you must be root.

2. Open the app, grant root permission. Click on the wrench at the top to change saved files to sdcard.

3. Check the boxes for system, boot, and recovery.

4. Click the start button (bottom right) and let it make the backups.

5. Post the created files to drive, cloud, however, and post links.

A custom rom is close, if we can get theses three files posted. Thank you, wolf

Mounting /system

***

Hi I was hoping that you might have some insight. I am trying to edit my SM-S920L build.prop. I have not been able to change permissions on /system or mount it R/W.

If you can help me I would be eternally grateful and reflect my gratitude with a donation.

I am an amateur at this. When I tried to mount from X-plore it does not seem to provide a mount option. When I try to change permissions with chmod via busybox from command line it fails and tells me that my file system is read only. I have tried to mount from the command line and it seemed to take once but still did not let me w to the /system’s files. Maybe I have the syntax wrong or maybe straight talk has locked it down at a higher level. HTC will not recognize the phone so I can not get an image. I was into UNIX a little bit for the job some 15 years ago but am getting older and don’t remember enough (and I did not know much to begin with).

I am ready to send it back and buy a different device from eBay.

Thanks,

George

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

The root access setting in X-plore did not seem intuitive to me. For those that experience the same issue I found the following.

In the grayed out section in the Configuration of X-plore under “Root access” there is a gray box with the status of Root access indicated. I did not realize that it was clickable. Once I found it I simply clicked on the forth option “Superuser mode, which allows changes in read-only folders” and backed out to save the settings then I was able to edit the files. Then you must reboot you device to activate the changes that you made when you edited your file.

Later

[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Wondering if someone can help me out? I tried rooting this phone about a month ago and bricked the phone when I flashed twrp, had to send the phone to straight talk and got a replacement. Is there a 100% safe way to flash twrp? Not sure what I did wrong before I followed the directions 100% but screwed up the phone. Any help would be great. Also can the bootloader be unlocked? If so please explain how to do this.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] zefie:
The bootloader cannot be unlocked, but we don't really need to unlock it since we have Odin, and the ability to create Odin flashable files.

Unzip this file and flash it in Odin to get TWRP.

Using the version of Odin I provided above, click "AP", browse to the recovery.tar.md5 file, and click Start. Do not mess with other settings. You should then have TWRP. My version has been patched to fix the reboot loop issue.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Are you sure it is working? Just don't want to brick my new phone. Also if I am rooted with king root will this affect it?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Ok so I have flashed twrp with Odin but it still says seandroid not enforcing. Wen I go into twrp for the first time it asks if I want to keep read only permission, of course I just slid the bar to alow modification, but then when I boot back to the phone and check for root it says root not installed properly. What do I do now? Re root with king root? Please help.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] zefie:
Don't use KingRoot. TWRP should offer to install SuperSU for you. If not, download SuperSU Stable and flash the zip in TWRP.

Edit: I don't trust KingRoot, so if you used it, I'd advise flashing back to stock, or flashing my pre-rooted stock. Check here for Odin flashable system images for clean stock and rooted stock. You can just flash the rooted system image and you will have a clean root without any of the KingRoot junk. You can also use those images if you ever do brick again, so long as you can still access Odin.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Ok thanks

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

Actually just flashing the supersu stable zip worked after flashing I updated binery and it asked if I wanted to uninstall king root.. worked great. I now have a rooted phone with twrp and clean of all the king root crap. You deserve an award my friend.

I see there is a custom rom in the works does anyone know if it's CM?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Has anyone compiled a list of apps that can be safely removed from this phone?

Looking to free up space but don't want to remove the wrong thing.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] zefie:
Freeing space from System won't really help the abysmal space allowed for user apps.

That said, I apologize but I do not have a list of safe-to-remove apps.

I use Link2SD which allows you to move entire apps (not just parts of it like the built in system) to the SD card. Using this I have about 5gb of apps installed despite only having 2gb of internal storage available.

I recommend the Plus edition as it will let you move more of the app data. You have to have a microSD card and partition it, which can be a pain if you don't have access to a linux system or VM, but it is worth it.

As for CM, there are no CM builds for our device. I plan to take a stab at it eventually, but don't hold your breath for anything.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] jadensrh:
Glad to see people with the skills to do so have started messing with this phone. I can't contribute really, I hadn't rooted a phone since 2013 until I got this Grand Prime. Already been stuck in the initial activation setup from a hard reset due to being careless with lucky patcher.

Accidentally deleted my play store and had a few days trouble but got back in to the phone from the initial setup eventually.

Can't believe all these 1 touch apps that can root a phone in a few minutes. Craziness. I'll be checking this thread daily so see the progress. Thanks to everyone in advance.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Hopefully we can get it at some point I had CM on my old moto g and loved it would be great to see it for this phone

I have tried link2sd in the past but couldn't get the apps to work unless I moved them back to the phone. Just seems like a hassle. But thanks for the reply.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] zefie:
With my 2nd SD partition formatted as ext4 I have no problems with any apps. I have it set to automatically link apps when they are installed or updated. The only issue is if you try to instantly launch an app after installing it, before it links, it will force close the app so it can properly link the app. It usually only takes a few seconds, so it is not that bad of an inconvenience. Link2SD can be a pain to set up properly but is well worth it once configured correctly.

There is no other way to squeeze more space out of our devices, that I am aware of.

[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Can anyone confirm xposed working would love a dark look to this phone but really never tried xposed before always just flashed custome roms
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] zefie:
Most likely in TWRP. Factory reset on stock ROMs usually rely heavily on stock recovery. I have not tried it as I have not had a reason to wipe my phone yet.

As for tethering, if you botched your build.prop, factory resetting won't help it, since it is on System, you will have to reflash your system partition with Odin.

My pre-rooted stock image already has the build.prop tweak to enable tethering, so if you find yourself having to reflash, you can just use that.

[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Just curious if you are putting the device in download mode?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] zefie:
"NAND Write Start" wouldn't happen if it wasn't in Odin mode. I'm more likely to believe there is a virus or malware on their machine that is intercepting or interfering with the flashing process.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Oh probably use another computer. Even if flashing with flashify because if it's a virus than it could corrupt the entire file. I would recommend downloading to the phone the use es file explorer to unzip and get the .img then flash with flashify
