I've just got myself a new phone, the Samsung GALAXY core LTE a few weeks ago and now I'm wanting to root it so I can customize it even more than it already is and while it runs android 4.4.2 and it's an awesome phone, Kingo Root doesn't seem to be able to connect with it.
The model number is SM-G386W
Any suggestions?
I am interested in knowing how to do this as well
Galaxy Core LTE is basically the Galaxy Avant (tmobile) with different branding. The Galaxy Avant has a chainfire root. Submit the recovery image for your firmware to the main chainfire thread (search for it) and chainfire should be able to provide a odin flashable file. Keep in mind your bootloader must be unlocked.
do you know how to unlock this phone? thanks
Can root SM-G386W same way as SM-G386T
I took the plunge and tried the Chainfire Autoroot method provided for the SM-G386T on my Canadian SM-G386W (Koodo variant) and it rooted fine. I have verified root and removed system apps with 3C Toolbox via the Xposed framework. Thus, it is clearly good to go root-wise. The instructions are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54768458&postcount=1
Warning: this method will trip your Knox counter to 0x1 as Chainfire warns. So, if that concerns you do not use this method.

i'd like to root my canadian SM-G386W too, but i have a concern:
In the thread you cite they say somewhere that the rooting script flashes recovery.img from
T-mobile sm-g386t, which would prohibit future updates if flashed to sm-g386w phone....
Sorry for my ignorance, but is there a way to fetch recovery.img from my sm-g386w phone?
in order to binary compare it at least with the one from existing root kit,
or better yet, to submit it to chainfire for a kit specificallydesigned for sm-g386w..
Download the Odin tar.md5 from sammobile and extract. I would do it myself but I don't have > 10 posts and can't post on the request thread...

I tried SRSroot. pretty sure there just garbage. reboots the phone a couple times, claims to succeed. then Root checker says "not rooted" and when you try to undo root with SRSroot it also says device is not rooted unroot failed
we just really need someone to convert the G386 stuff over for the G386W. there the same damn phone. it just seems no one wants to touch the G386W because its only carried by Wind Mobile Canada. no love for the Canadians i see.
heres what happens.
SRS does this:

Hey, folks, I still do not get it.. successfully connected my device in the download mode to odin 3.07 (taken from the chainfire root package for SM-G386T),
and my device is visible there (windows 7 downloaded correct drivers automatically in the process).
in "Odin" I do see the options to flash the files ONTO the phone (as explained in the Avant root thread cited above ),
but I do not see any options to download any images FROM cellphone TO the computer!
How do you get recovery.img FROM cellphone to the computer?
My undersanding is that chaifire requires this file recovery.img from SM-G386W in order to make root toolkit for canadian version...
thank you for your suggestions...

Once you download the tar.md5, you can unzip using 7z or other extraction tool and it'll be in the extracted files.

I confirm. It works!.. All that stuff about recovery.img I was talking about above is not important.
After rooting, odin just flashes back the ORIGINAL recovery.img.
Glad to finally have rooted phone. It is mostly important in order to fix SD card permissions.

No, I was wrong actually.. it indeed flashes the recovery from SM-G386T (t-mobile) , as stated above in the thread,

Hello Sintoo,
It should work, as long as your hardware is the same, or similar. Rooting the devices installs custom firmware, which is unique to each device (and similar devices), regardless of the software installed.
I didn't get the 4.4.4 update. I get an error message saying that an unauthorized firmware has been installed onto the device, whenever I tried to auto-update. So I un-rooted the device to see if the update is available. I do not get the error message anymore, but there is no indication of a software update either.
Best regards,

How exactly did you unroot? just flashed stock firmware from sammobile using odin? or some other way (without hard reset) is possible too?
thanks!
Koodo SM-G386W (same as mine) did not have any update up to today....
BIG_BADASS said:
There's a "full unroot" option in the SuperSU settings. Then reboot your phone and to be on the safe side, use Samsung Kies to install the original firmware for your device. All you must enter is the model number and serial number. It will identify the original firmware and install it for you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hm.. interesting, thank you... However, did you also observe that SuperSU full-unroot restores original recovery partition ( that from SM-G386W Koodo, ending with .. ANI1 )?
E.g. now, after rooting, when I boot into recovery (by holding Volume-Up/Home/Power buttons)
I can see that the recovery partition is now from t-mobile SM-G386T (ending with ..ANG6),
while the rest of the firmware is from Koodo SM-G386 (..ANI1 ), as you can see from the android settings/ about device.
Can you tell pls whether the recovery partition is back to ... ANI1 after you did full-unroot via SuperSU?
thank you!
N.B. I have Kies3, but I do not see any place to t enter is the model number and serial number... Which Kies are u using?
BIG_BADASS said:
I didn't keep track of the recovery partition after the SuperSU uninstall, but after I have re-installed the original firmware, it's back to ...ANJ1 Bell Canada firmware
In Samsung kies 2.6 or 3: Tools> Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation.
After that, the program will guide you for the next steps
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you!
Hm.. "Curiouser and curiouser!" (C)
How does SuperSU know what exactly is the original recovery partition for your particular phone, in order to restore it?
Or ... are you describing the situation after you also refreshed your phone via Kies?
My situation now (after rooting) is the following:
- t-mobile SM-G386T branded recovery partition (..ANG6 ending) is showing when boot into recovery,
- while the rest of the firmware is still the original SM-G386W Koodo (..ANI1 ending).
- OTA update attempts now fail telling me that i have an unauthorized firmware,
- while Kies tells me that everything is OK and ..ANI1 firmware is the latest one...
So, Kies apparently ignores recovery partition change, which may be good, since it might rewrite all, if a 4.4.4 or 5.xxx update is available..
N.B. It seems no 4.4.4 update to SM-G386W is available so far, mention of it on page 2 is a mistake...

I have a samsung galaxy s6 with smg920f on the back. Since bought, I didn't get android marshmallow and clicking the update manually button doesn't do anything, it doesn't work and neither does it say 'no updates are available'. When trying to update via odin, the update failed saying that the model number was smg920p instead of smg920f as found on the back of the phone.
Smg920f is unlocked version of sprint, and as I'm not in the US, it will not push the update and installing firmware for sprint will not work on my carrier. It seems that the phone will not receive any update. What should be done and is there any way to update it?
Have you tried using SmartSwitch to update?
Using smartswitch also cannot update it. How can the device say its smg920p if on the back is smg920f?
Which Firmware do you try to flash via Odin? I mean which exact Model number and CSC

flashing modem should always be possible, you might get no network till you flash correct one, bit i know people using 6.0.1 modem over 7.0 on s7 so might also be fine

Same. I have g955usqu5crib Sprint locked. Is there any help in this area? I may have bricked my phone trying to flash an older version! hahahaha
To root sprint s8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-ubrnWdGT4
Except: if you have Oreo, download your firmware here (and not root junky): https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/
-Regain charging ability to 100%: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEdmIDEKYtA
Note:
-Although your ui will will show 80%, you will be able to charge to 100%
-Lose secure folders
-Lose Samsung Pay
How can I get back to G955USQU5CRIB firmware. I think I may have rooted too early. Sprint didn't unlock the phone yet and I'm unable to flash to verizon.
My original plan was to flash from Sprint to Verizon so the phone could be used on that carrier. However, I'm stuck with Sprint software and the phone, although rooted is still locked to Sprint.

You can download that firmware at sammobile https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/VZW/download/G950USQU5CRIB/239473/
Pretty sure bootloader cannot be downgraded.. and root it limited to Bootloader V2...
If you find different results let us know!

The bootloader version is the 5th number from far end of your current firmware 3 or higher cannot be rooted and the only method is partcyborg rom
there is no downgrading or nothing
if you have to have root get another device
you cannot use cf auto root or flash twrp as we have locked bootloaders
if the bootloader gets unlocked then yes cf auto root and junk will work then

Hello, long shot, but I was wondering if anyone knows if my device can be rooted, it's a stock sprint s8+ with unlocked bootloader v5 on the latest version of Android (screenshot of my software version attached)

Howdy;
I haven't found anything. I'm on same Baseband Version. That #5, five numbers from the left seems to be a killer.

Yea, I've had it for so long stock, just upgraded to s10+ and decided to just keep this as a secondary because it's still solid, no a single issue
(long time root user, webOS, epic touch 4g, then all even galaxy S devices) root was so fun!
Thanks for the post my friend, maybe someday this version will be cracked

And there's no way to root without wiping data huh? I was hoping to just add root to my current device, I'll read up too though, I've been out of the root scene for a short bit

More than likely no. I swapped system images a few times. Kinda like dirty flashing and it worked. But errors begin to pile up. One can try. But more than likely user data will be corrupted

Yea, that's what I figured, if I had a better internet, I would start messing around, it takes forever to download anything for me, out in the cuts.. I like to have my Stock firmware files ready to go incase I need to fix a soft brick or something..
Anyhoo, thanks for the posts my friend, I appreciate it!

1.Download modded odin HERE.
If you don't know how to use Odin there are tons of tutorials. Just never use the userdata section unless you plan on starting fresh from the setup screen.
2.Download latest firmware for SM-G950u1 Or G955u1 for + models. Shouldn't be carrier specific though I used my carriers when doing so.
I got my firmware from https://updato.com
3.Flash the firmware using Odin.
4.Power on the phone and go to Google play
5.Download samsung+ and scroll down to join Samsung+ beta
6. After you update the Samsung+ app to the beta you should have a banner invite in the Samsung+ app to opt into the oneui beta,
7. After you opt in to OneUI go to software update and it should be ready for download
Side note, you can also flash the update file directly from an sd card for the latest pie beta if you want to skip the Samsung+ part. Just make sure you rename the latest beta firmware to update.zip and place it in the root folder of your sd card.
You need to be on U1 firmware as that's unlocked device firmware otherwise it will not work.
someone has the link with the beta update to load it with the sd?
Thanks for this update man, wish I could known this before I flashed the ZSAB firmware. Its working fine with me with the ZSAB firmware as Netflix is now working. I had to flash the sm-g950u1 firmware first.

This is where I got the firmware after flashing the CLR2 sm-g950u1 on my Verizon unlocked s8 on t mobille. https://downloadmirror.co/2CXh/SS-G...=LdUniblIAWIL+sfjZK7ot6v3B16RNMoXDzapUtOlNo4=
Thank you! I'm testing it and it's pretty stable at the moment

Only issue I have run across is that bluetooth headphones will get disconnected from time to time and no super slow motion setting to change to multiple shots or manual
Is this guide for U.S. carrier locked S8+'s? Can I do this with my locked sprint s8+?
edit: now i'm getting some kind of "package expects build fingerprints of" so on and so on. I'm on CRL2 trying to install by Sd.
I'd the ZSAB to ZSAI update for snapdragon s8+ available yet?
This isn't working for me. Odin'ed CRL2 on my Sprint locked S8+ successfully, but i'm not able to flash the ZSAB firmware after that, through recovery or sideload. Getting a bunch of errors in recovery and in the end, ends up aborted. Welp
Is there an OTA update to go from SA4 to a One UI firmware? I have access to a Mac only, and Jdoin3 isn't able to get the PIT file from my G950U
