Okay, so I recently noticed that there was an icon that said "Custom" and it was an unlocked lock on my start up. And, when I try to do an OTA update, it fails. I even flashed the stock recovery. And, when I try to install custom ROM's, it says something like "Error 7, installation aborted."
Did you unlock your bootloader yet?

Well i'm almost 100% sure that all roms now require an unlocked bootloader, so by unlocking it and flashing a custom recovery you should be able to flash roms and it'll make the custom icon go away as well.

If your already rooted just download EZ Unlock from the market and it'll do it with the press of a button I advise flashing a custom recovery first though.

Okay, I flashed CWM Touch and then did the unlock. Will this allow me to do the OTA update?

U should flash the OTA from 1 of the "OTA threads" here.It's safer & u won't lose root.

that would be safe general rule now, do all your backing up, flashing, etc, by manually booting into recovery first, that's the only sure fire way to make sure it gets flashed on okay. I don't even keep rom manager on my phone anymore and i used to use it religiously on previous phones.

Unlocking the boot loader should kill it.
Basically as the title states. Does anyone know a way to reduce the vibration intensity? Is this something I would need root to do? Even with a case I feel like if I'm sitting somewhere the whole room can hear the phone vibrate.

You'll need to root to do it. Both Franco Kernel Updater and Trickster Mod allow you to alter the vibration intensity.

So I'm not too familiar with using kernels. Are these just apps I can use with root or do I actually have to flash something?

No, all you need to do is root. You can change these settings on the stock kernels with the apps I mentioned.

You don't just need root, you need a custom recovery too. You flash the kernel in the custom recovery.

Ok now I'm a bit confused. So the person above said that I just download the app and I can regulate the vibration using the stock kernel. Are you talking about just flashing kernels in general?

What he means is you need a custom recovery to flash the SU zip (root).

You have to be rooted to use Trickster as it has to access /system level files.

Hahahaha.
1. You need root to alter the vibration on your device. Apps like Trickster Mod only work if you have root.
2. In order to root your device, you'll need to flash SuperUser. In order to flash SU (or a ROM/kernel,) you'll need to install a custom recovery image on your device. I recommend TWRP.
3. Once you've flashed SU, you can install Trickster Modand grant the app root access.

You could just fastboot boot recovery.img where recovery.img is twrp or cwm. Then flash super su and reboot. That what you'd still have the stock recovery and root.

That's true. But if you're gonna go through the trouble of flashing SU, might as well keep a custom recovery on your device in case you need to wipe.

I'm guessing that you won't be doing that again! Next time, just install SuperSU without doing anything with superuser. SuperSU will become the default (Alpha Male)!

Yes. Didnt work.
Btw by reflash the zip file you mean reinstall it from pkay store, right?
Pardon the ignorance. Just found out that flashing a zip file and installing apps from play store are 2 different things.
Well my bootloader is locked and neither do i have a custom recovery installed. So flashing doesnt seem to be an option right now.. If i am not missing anything.
Are you running 5.0? If so how the heck did you root with towelroot? AFAIK you can not root 5.0 that way. Maybe that is a problem.

You need to flash the supersu zip using fastboot:

Additionally you need to have an unlocked bootloader

To get root again either flash the latest CF Auto Root in fastboot or flash the latest superSU.zip in recovery or flash a pre-rooted custom rom in a custom recovery.
CWM Recovery v6.0.3.7 I take no responsibility for bricked devices FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK
I DID NOT BUILD THIS RECOVERY I FOUND IT IN A THREAD AND DECIDED TO SHARE IT
Samsung Galaxy Core Plus (SM-G350)
NOTE YOUR DEVICE NEED TO BE ROOTED
How to:
Download Recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ii6baeeug78d5el/recovery.tar.md5
Download Odin: http://androidhost.org/PVAIv
Extract it to desktop
Boot in to Download mode (Power+Home+Volume Down)
Open Odin
Connect device to computer now from Odin it should say Added!!! Now Press AP button and select Recovery.MD5 and press start
Now wait a couple of seconds to check if you have CWM boot in to recovery (Power+Home+Volume Up) Or download Quick boot from Google Play and boot in from recovery there
