I have an uncommon problem with rooting my new Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE. I live in Poland and bought the phone from Hongkong (btw I have some doubts about originality of this device). I've been trying everything to break the root access, but I failed every time. At the moment I loaded Android 4.0.4. with Odin (Phone wouldn't update automatically so I found the update on the Internet).
MY DEVICE Baseband: SHV-E120L.FG11.1351.LT
Firstly, I've been trying just to use SuperOneClick, which crushes just after clicking "ROOT". It can't even recognise my device connected via USB. Then I tried flashing custom ROMs/Mods with Odin, but I couldn't find software matching to my baseband (I don't know if it matters). I also failed to load any recovery (I still can't find how to flash .img files, while i don't have sdcard). Besides I have been doing lots of internet research and nothing matches my problem. After a week of spending about 2h daily trying to root the phone I went to service point, where they told me there is hardly anyone in Warsaw, who would be able to root my device, because it was bought from abroad and they don't have proper equipment to do that... (?)
As you see I'm in lost position, at least one of you had similar problem and know how to fix it. I'm very desperate to root my phone because I've got tons of korean U+ bloatware and I have this "no caller ID" problem with messages... Also this model has shorter battery life than I was expecting, so I hope to be able to load kernel, managing processor voltage.
Waiting for replies asap!
I'm new to XDA so please forgive me any slips. I didn't find a section for this exact device and I hope here is the right place to put this thread.
Hi, folks.
I do apologise if this is the wrong place for this - so many forums to choose from!
Earlier today I bought a ZTE (Telstra) T28 phone to replace a damaged Samsung Galaxy Ace, as they have pretty much the same features.
What I forgot, though, is that I had rooted the Ace, and installed a custom ROM. So despite the same features, I'm a bit uncomfortable with the T28.
I did notice that its features are similar to the ZTE Blade. This is probably a long shot, but does anyone have any information on whether I may be able to root it using the same method and files? Or at least if it is possibly to ATTEMPT the rooting method, with a means to identify if it isn't going to work/back out without waiting for the phone to be bricked?
I did install Ask Mr. Pigfish and it suggested I was using a Gen2 Blade, but I suspect that it was simply identifying that it was using the same Android version. (Kernel? Am I using the term right?)
If it helps, when using the usual Android "Check for updates" option in the menu, it tells me I can copy an update image to the SD card, and can update from that menu.
I'm quite happy with the phone; I'm primarily wanting to root and update not for update's sake, but to remove the pre-installed apps. The device is exclusive to the Australian Telstra provider, but I am not a Telstra customer. I am using a different provider that resells the network, so the installed Telstra apps do not work for me and take up a lot of the device's tiny space.
Cheers and thanks in advance for what I'm sure will be a lot of useful info!
Hi and sorry for the grave digging but I really need some info about rooting the T28. I'm completely new to rooting and would love to find a one-click-root or something but no such luck. Has anyone rooted this phone successfully? I'm stuck with this one so hoping for a positive answer
Hey everyone,
So this is pretty straight foreward, I'm attempting to root my Galaxy Core Prime (G360T, from T-Mobile in US) and I have had absolutely zero luck finding ANYTHING related that model number.
I've found plenty of stuff here, but it is all related to the G360H, G, and even the T1 (i think?) I've tried Kingo, Odin, and a few other things and I'm getting absolutely no where.
I'm wondering if anyone out here has had any luck with rooting this device in particular, or if maybe there is something I'm missing? I'm pretty new to the idea of rooting devices but I'm a proficient technically so I'm not exactly sure what is going on.
Is it T-Mobile software or something blocking the ability to root? I can't believe there is that much of a difference between my phone and say the G360H.
Thanks in advanced for the help, as I'm totally clueless at this point.

There are many of us using the MetroPCS version G360T1 that will gladly try any root method you get going. Feel free to contact directly if you need some testing help. While waiting for root, I tried Package Disabler Pro 3.7 that was released September 15. It works fine on the G360T1, although it says "Custom" under "Device status" in "About Device -> Status." Haven't gone to Download Mode to see if the triangle is set or not, but I'm guessing the flash counter has been tripped. I'm not worried about it too much, and it may have been tripped with some other attempt to root the device. Still, this app was just what I needed to disable all the junkware and still have a smooth working Lollipop 5.1.1 while waiting for the real goodies.

The thing is i got g3601 and its running kitkat and no update availble on it ??? so i am porting 5.1 for it.Recovery has been patched up and working kinda fine but need to fix alot of issues.normally i dont develop for mid range mobiles but my brother got one so that is why i started with this one.my first projects are z3 + and xperia lines.I will let you know when it is completed for testing.
Hmm, I thought this was for SM-G360T and the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime that is out for T-Mobile and running Lollipop 5.x. Is the G3601 a typo or different model? The MetroPCS G360T1 will work fine with the firmware and files from T-Mobile G360T because they are the same device and even same network provider. Anyway, it looks like someone was kind enough to modify the kernel source code the Samsung posted just a week or two ago. Here is the news, but be warned that it will trip the KNOX flag:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g360t1-5-1-1-t3203522
I put my G360T1 in download mode and it still says official and no warning triangle. I mentioned that it said custom in the About Phone page after doing other terminal entries and running Package Disabler Pro 3.7. Some may want to wait to root the device until there is a deodex'd rom out there to run xposed framework. I like the slimed down stock 5.1.1 and there are a bunch of garbage programs hogging the decent entry level device resources. More news to come...

I have rooted the g360t using the files from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g360t1-5-1-1-t3203522 which are for the g360t1 variant and it went well but you have to go to developer options and activate OEM unlocking for it to work and I did it with Odin version 1.85.

My specs:
Model #: SM-360T
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: G360TUVU1AOF9
I migrated from Nokia 521 - Windows 8.1 phone to this Android device because of the litany of apps I could use for productivity. I am highly disappointed that I am unable to revoke permissions of applications to resources I think they don't need. So, I basically use phone to make calls and text. If someone has successfully rooted THIS smartphone version, please advise. I'm a little technical, too.
Try this: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu. find your model and download the file you need, unzip it then put your phone in download mode and use odin 3.7 to send it to the phone. That outta be enough. I have not rooted this particular device in a while but I have rooted plenty of others using that method and it works like a charm every time. I just did a quick look up and your model is listed there. Give it a try and post your results.
Thank you so much, Geevil!!!
Appreciate your response.

I'm running stock 5.1.1 on G360t and just got some root using this kernel so tanks for the help and all the fish
Hello how would one root the sm-g360t and get custom recovery on it ?
Sent from my SM-G360T using Tapatalk
I have the sm g360t1, though no computer to connect the phone to. I see this phone listed in the cf-auto root repository linked above- not sure if that method needs a computer. King root may have worked, though the root gone by when using w0lfdroid's
Kingroot removal/supersu installer. It worked on orher phones.
King root is such spyware. I really want to try something else...

Yes King Root is bad. Pretty much like malware for your device. Don't use cf-auto-root either, as it's kind of a generic root and doesn't really function properly. I'm helping people constantly fix their devices after either tryung King or CF. Use Trapkernel to root the SM-G360T1 & SM-G360T. It's quick and easy and roots the device with no problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62859013 Here is the recovery you should use too in case anyone's wondering. You flash it the same way as root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66266209
I recommend using version 3.0.1-0 though, as version 3.0.2-0 has had problem flashing certain roms for some reason.
Thanks bogarty, I was able to root and flash custom recovery on my phone with both links you provided here.. I have the T-Mobile version (SM-G360T) but everything went well
Dont know if ppl still trying to root this device but I just found out that you can download the rooting file trough chainfire for this model. Here´s the link: https://download.chainfire.eu/767/C...to-Root-cprimeltetmo-cprimeltetmo-smg360t.zip
Why do that when there is a root method for this device.
Follow this thread here for all your root needs for this device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...should work just fine for the tmobile version
will this allow me to use a at&t sim card in my SM-G360T phone instead of T-Mobile
I have two of these and I would like to Root at least one of them. Root only not interested in a custom ROM. Just want to remove the bloat ware and add a WiFi Teter app but both require root access. Both of these phone where in use by other family members and are in excellent condition but both were upgraded to 4.4.2 while they were using them. I've spent countless hours, haven't found one that states this version is rootable, yet OneClickRoot.com states it is rootable. However, I've read some horror stories about them.
Can someone explain how to do this or point me to location where its clearly written how and where to get the files needed.

I finally figured it out for myself researching this past couple of days and I have that exact phone version. You got to use towelroot. You simply need to allow non google play store apps to be installed on the phone. And then download the towelroot .apk file and run it and waahh-laaah. I tried using odin to unroot and some other things and they never worked for me. Towelroot did, and I have that exact same 4.4.2 build and etc.
If you're interested in getting rid of the bloatware as I was then you might be interested in this. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797314
I tried this last night with success and installed the superliterom and a lot of bloatware is now gone. I believe this includes wifi-tethering as well. You are basically limited to touchwiz roms with a 4.4.2 build based from my reading; could be wrong. With this particular phone, once you've updated the firmware to 4.4.2 you can't unlock the bootloader without bricking the phone; period. The superliterom is basically like stock without a good portion of the bloatware. Hope this helps!
Just picked up a carrier unlocked Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge model SM-G935V.
Now that I finally have a model which seems like it should be relatively easy to root, I would prefer to learn to do it using a PC ie flashing ROM, but I have no PC access right now.
My main question is:
After rooting my phone using a 1-click root method, will it be relatively easy for me to un-install ALL bloatware & eventually end up with a phone that's running just as efficiently as it would if I had picked out and flashed a good stripped down ROM using a PC instead of some 1-click method?
I'm also considering purchase and use of Super-sume Pro (if the job is done with Kingroot).
Any advice AT ALL regarding what I hope to do would be greatly appreciated... and jic it helps here s a little of my background:
I have NO successful experiences using TWRP or the like w other phones.. although I believe I came close!!... my last few phone picks turned out to be models which were pretty much impossible to root (locked bootloader was the common culprit best I could understand).... Otherwise I think I'd have been able to do at least 1 previous model the flash-rom way.
I DO have A lot of general experience w PCs and have successfully rooted a few phones using 1 click Android software such as Kingroot, but at that time I did not fully understand or hope to remove bloatware to cool battery or otherwise dial in best performance.
It's been at least 3 years since I last performed a 1 click root on any phone.
Thanks in advance for any advice or assistance... I really appreciate everyone & everything at XDA.
