[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] AWaterFountain:
After rooting with the KingRoot apk apps would start crashing randomly (no message, just every running app would exit and throw me to my home screen), so I decided to factory reset. I grabbed Titanium Backup, grabbed the app backups I needed, then did the reset. Phone booted up, but now the setup wizard just crashes every run through and restarts itself, leaving my phone useless.

It may be important to know that after KingRoot, my boot screen had an unlocked lock with the text "custom" under it- I figure this means my bootloader is unlocked, but I could be wrong.

I've enabled USB Debugging through the recovery screen.

Setup Wizard (Without SIM):

Connect to Wifi network -> Next -> Crash

Skip connect to wifi -> Skip anyway -> Crash

Setup Wizard (With SIM):

Properly IDs my number and connects to 4G -> Next -> Sometimes crash

Skip Verizon Cloud -> Not Now -> Crash

Setup Verizon Cloud -> Finished Setting up -> Crash

Installing TWRP via h00ps://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxycoreprimequalcomm.html

Option 1 (TWRP) nogo, no previous TWRP installed

Option 2 (Odin) nogo, tried both through the website on Linux/FF and through Windows (VirtualBox). The website asks me for the PIT, then when it tries to retrieve it from the device it fails. The app on Windows doesn't ask me for it, but when trying to install it it pops up "secure check fail: recovery" on the phone's screen (the app does nothing).

Option 3 (dd) nogo, can't get an adb root shell

Rerooting through the KingRoot desktop app:

It looks like it succeeds (it's all in Chinese).

adb root gives "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"

adb shell su gives "[-] Connection to ui timed out"

Trying to remove or disable the Setup Wizard app:

ps | grep setup returns the following package names:

com.android.setupwizard (pm disable -> Unknown package)

com.google.android.setupwizard (pm disable -> Permission Denial: attempt to change component state from pid=11940, uid=2000, package uid=10014)

com.google.android.partnersetup (pm disable -> Permission Denial: attempt to change component state from pid=11958, uid=2000, package uid=10030)

com.sec.android.app.setupwizard (pm disable -> Permission Denial: attempt to change component state from pid=12180, uid=2000, package uid=1000)

kill <package> -> Operation not permitted)

pm uninstall <package> -> "Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]"

pm path com.android.setupwizard -> nothing

pm path com.google.android.setupwizard -> /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/SetupWizard.apk

pm path com.google.android.partnersetup -> /system/priv-app/GooglePartnerSetup/GooglePartnerSetup.apk

pm path com.sec.android.app.setupwizard -> /system/app/SamsungSetupWizard/SamsungSetupWizard.apk

I had also sideloaded gapps-lp-20150314 (for 5.1.X) in hopes that it would fix it up.

Anything else I should try? Any stock images so I can do a complete, fresh, reinstall? I know someone here was working on getting stock everything uploaded- will that be my best bet?

Thanks!
