[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] iiBootMii:
I wouldn't recommend that you flash the 2017 firmware, and someone who did this earlier in the thread experienced other issues like losing his phone app. The 2017 firmware really doesn't have any noticable changes from the stock, so it's probably best that you just don't update.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] SeaMonkey82:
Losing the phone app wouldn't be an issue for me currently, as the phone isn't even currently activated. Nonetheless, I did end up just leaving it on the stock firmware. This is actually the first smart phone I've ever owned, as I was never keen on the idea of paying extra for a data plan - especially now that free WiFi is available wherever I go. My dad changed phones and just gave me his old one.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
That was me who lost phone capabilities. Do note that it was not the 2017 version, but was an earlier firmware. I will try out the 2017 firmware asap, but I don't want to lose everything I have done so far on my phone. My family has a number of these devices in circulation, when they upgrade I will use their Core Prime for testing.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] SeaMonkey82:
I obtained another Core Prime and I seem to be stuck when trying to use FlashFire .54PRE. It gets to "Enumerating Properties" or "Checking for Pro" and then automatically minimizes.

*edit* Checked the other phone and it's doing the same now.

*edit2* Fix seems to be to disable root privileges for FlashFire in SuperSU, launch FlashFire, then re-enable root privileges.

*edit3* Nope. This works with .57, but not with .54PRE.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
What is your build number?
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] SeaMonkey82:
lmy48b.g360vvru3bok2
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
Weird. Do make sure that you downloaded the FlashFire from my link.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
How much space does Viper4Android take? I obviously have very limited space on this phone and want to make sure that the app doesn't take up a ton of storage. Screenshots of the Settings app info would be welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] iiBootMii:
Storage is a large problem on this phone, but I've found a solution. Now it may not be free, but buying an external sd card is helpful. From there you can use apps Apps2SD or things like it to format your sd card so it will work like internal storage. I bought a 64GB sd card, formatted everything, and now it's like I have a 64 gb phone. Just a little solution that I've worked around.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
Already using a 32-gig and Link2SD. How did you configure it to act as internal storage? Adoptable storage is only available on MM.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] iiBootMii:
If you download an app called AParted, it will partition your SD card for you. I formatted it to the same format as the internal storage, and it basically works like that. I don't have my OS stored on my sd card(obviously lol) but you can move so many more things over. Pictures, system apps, user apps, you name it. It just seems to give me so much more space.

Anyways, the tool I used was called AParted. (you should be able to find it on the playstore)

I would link a tutorial but it appears that I can't post links. You should be able to find some on Youtube though.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
PM me the link or do some workarounds. E.g. www(dot)google(dot)com
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] SeaMonkey82:
Can anyone recommend a list of apps that are safe to remove for this phone? Not just bloatware, but anything that won't be of any use to me if I don't have any plans to activate phone service on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
I'd say that's most of the apps. Since upgrading to a Moto G5 Plus, I reflashed stock firmware onto my Core Prime and removed a heck of a lot of apps... It would be difficult to provide a list of every single one. I can tell you that only the bloatware really makes a difference with the storage, other phone services and whatnot just suck up battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] sattech200:
I had the same problem and found a solution. with .54PRE installed I used lucky patcher to bypass the PRO licensing and then is seemend to work. However this caused me to loose root and the only way I could get it back was to odin the first flash back on the phone so I'm back to square one.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] qwerty_339:
I'm having the same issue, I also tried FlashFire v0.6 which opens and tries to flash, but it gets stuck at the Verizon screen on boot. Has anyone had any luck with this?
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
Search the thread before asking, please. If you did you would have found that FF .54 PRE is the only version of FF that, to my knowledge, works on this device.

But apparently there are new issues with that which I never experienced during my time with that phone. Since late May I've replaced my Core Prime with the Moto G5 Plus and ended up losing it :silly: so if and when I find it, I'll see what's going on and let you guys know of any new developments.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] qwerty_339:
I could've been a little clearer there; I did try .54 PRE from Jrhotrod's mediafire, but it has the same problem as SeaMonkey82 did:
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
Hmm... Try downloading from APKmirror. Check md5
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] qwerty_339:
Still no luck:/

Would a log help? I haven't done anything with logs yet, so if you could point me to an app or something that would take logs I would appreciate it:)
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
FlashFire may already produce a file called "lastlog" in your internal storage in the FlashFire folder. Check that.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] qwerty_339:
Okay, I didn't see it in the /sdcard folder, so I ran a few searches for Flashfire, flash, fire, lastlog, and last; the only file I could find was 'last_log', but it is located in /cache/recovery, so I don't think that's the right one.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
Ok, I figured. I'm pretty sure it produces the log only after it attempts to flash something. But it was worth a try.

Try downloading the app "SysLog " (Scott Warner). Bring back a log.

And if you're okay with the potential of having to flash stock again, try .55. The changelog for it seems like it may work for us.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] qwerty_339:
Here's the logs for both 54 & 55, 55 still crashes
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
Thanks for the logs. I can't be considered an expert at analyzing such things by any stretch of the imagination, but I still tried my hand at it. Here is the part I found interesting in the .54 log:

Now the only thing is that i cant get anything to flash. i have the same issues with the red logo stuck for a few hours. if anyone can help me with that i might share a little twrp port i made for the phone :) if i can get around the bootloader or have someone help me with it, this would go a lot smoother. My Grand prime took a bit of an unexpected fall and is now in heaven, so this is my backup phone and its come a long way in a few weeks of messing with the thing, but still a hell of a lot to do. if all else fails i can always start a project for a custom rom probably a lineage 13 port. But if you can help me with the bootloader issue im all yours

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
Any update on the TWRP port?

I just found my Core Prime and should be able to do some testing for ya if you need i. Just give me a week-ish - I'll let you know when it's all ready.

And I just though I'd ask - how do you know that the bootloader is locked? I've been planning on grabbing something like CM13 or CM12 from the other Core Prime variants and just change the install script to forcefully flash it on our Verizon one. I figure if it doesn't wanna boot, the bootloader is locked and we can go from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
[MENTION=5835444]Huawei Pains[/MENTION] Hey, my Core Prime is rooted and all ready to go. I have the updater-script from CM12.1 modified to forcefully flash onto our variant, but FlashFire is force-closing as soon as I try to add a Wipe action before the ZIP flash. So that TWRP port would probably be pretty useful at this point. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] jerryspring:
No word on twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] jerryspring:
Did you ever flash Xposed and if so, what version?
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Guides, News, & Discussi] Jrhotrod:
Fair warning, it's been about two years since I did anything with my Core Prime. But I believe I used the standard Xposed zip for SDK 22, and from there, I installed the Wanam Xposed module, which allows you to make changes on TouchWiz.

Best of luck - and if you want an upgrade from the Core Prime to something a lot better, PM me on Telegram [MENTION=7896819]Jrhotrod[/MENTION]_15 and I'll be more than happy to find you something for whatever budget you have. :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] YMNDLZ:
So I've been rooted on APE1 and have been tweaked everything from my status bar to my navigation keys, and I realized I hadn't changed my boot animation yet. So I went out and googled how to do it, and sure enough changing your boot animation is possible and pretty easy too. So here's what you need to do.

1. Download an alternative boot animation, I've used animations from here: http://androidbootanimation.com/category/samsung-qmg-boot-animations/

And of course the sweet boot animation from the Stang5Litre ROM:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224409429

2. Download a root browser, I personally use Root Browser from JRummy Apps.

3. Grant it root access and keep tapping the two dots (underneath which it says parent folder till you reach the root of your phone.

4. Click system, then click media.

5. Scroll till you find these files.

SPR_shutdown.qmg

SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg

SPR_bootsamsung.qmg

bootsamsung.qmg

bootsamsungloop.qmg

shutdown.qmg

6. Move these files out of the system/media folder to your SD card if you're replacing both the shutdown and boot animation (I created a folder called boot animation in my SD card):

SPR_shutdown.qmg

SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg

SPR_bootsamsung.qmg

bootsamsung.qmg

bootsamsungloop.qmg

shutdown.qmg

6b. Or move these files out of the system/media folder to your SD card if you're replacing just the boot animation (I created a folder called boot animation in my SD card):

SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg

SPR_bootsamsung.qmg

bootsamsung.qmg

bootsamsungloop.qmg

7. Extract the boot animation you downloaded earlier and copy the files which are labeled like this this if you're replacing the boot animation and shutdown animation:

bootsamsung.qmg

bootsamsungloop.qmg

shutdown.qmg

Or like this if you're simply replacing the boot animation:

bootsamsung.qmg

bootsamsungloop.qmg

8. Paste them into the system/media folder.

9. Long press the files you copied, and click permissions.

10. Set the read as allowed for owner, group, and others. Set the write and execute as allowed for only the owner for all 3 files if you're replacing both the startup animation and the shutdown, or for two of the files if you're replacing only the startup.

11. Click ok.

12. Ensure all three or two files are there and have the right permissions.

13. Reboot, and you should see your new boot up and shutdown animation.

Credit goes to [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2026779]gadget![/MENTION] For the Stang5Litre boot animation, it's not my work.

Also the animations from: www.androidbootanimation.com are not mine and belong to their respective owners.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmsWarrior:
Hi,

I just bought a HTC one m8 32gb. (unlocked, S-on)

I'm using it in USA with a French carrier (bouygues).

I could update to android 5.0.1, software 4.16.401.13 but not higher.

No OTA even if I have 100% battery, connected, WI-FI connection... all requirements.

So I tried with my Windows 10 laptop, when software turns the phone in bootloader (HTC written on the screen of the phone), the USB disconnects then reconnect so the software loose the connection and cancel the procedure.

So I tried to update via fastboot, bootloader, but It doesn't shows the "update" option.

Is anyone can help me get android 6 on my phone?

THANKS!

I'll post the result of "fastboot getvar all" later in the day.

Thanks again for your interest.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Do you realize this is for the AT&T version M8?

We can't verify the RUU is right for your version, until we get the fastboot getvar data.

In addition to needed the right version RUU, the bootloader also needs to be relocked, in order to RUU. But don't relock the bootloader, until we verify you have the right RUU. As relocking the bootloader renders the phone unable to boot. So if its not the right RUU, you would be without the use of your phone; until other actions were taken.

And if its indeed the AT&T version, the Marshmallow RUU requires running the MM firmware first, before you can do the RUU.

Additionally, trying another cable, and/or another USB port sometimes solves USB connectivity issues with RUU.

you have an AT&T device

so if the current firmware works without issues you can flash the marshmallow RUU from here ( your internal storage will be wiped after flashing the RUU )

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jockyw2001:
I own a Kaiser and want to share my experience with Nike (Niki) users.

The attached file is a SSPL which should be started from Windows Mobile.

After you run it, you hopefully see a tri-color screen. This version is only to test usb connectivity. If it works I will add patches to bypass security so that you can flash any (cooked) ROMs.

This SSPL is based on the Nike shipped SPL v1.16

- download the attached file

- REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!

- copy sspl-1.16-test.exe to your device and run it

- after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display

- unplug and replug the usb cable

- check in device manager if there is a device "windows ce devices -> microsoft usb sync"

- try to connect with MTTY via USB and type "ResetDevice" which will reboot your Nike.
