Hi there everybody.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-G360G. This is my first smart phone, which I've had for a couple of months, and I'm completely new to rooting. I'm kind of wary of the risks involved, but I'd still like to go ahead with it and reap the benefits.
Googling around yielded a few guides which suggested using the Kingroot app. I did some research on this, and some people have issues with the security of using it.
What are your thoughts? Are there any trusted apps, or any alternatives to root this phone?
Ye it is there

How to root samsung galaxy devices
Forgive me for doing so, but I think I'll pass on a guide that was locked by a moderator and suggested to be harmful to some devices.
Its not harmful its a easy intrepreted form of another trusted guide on xda

The method is same but you have to find your device specific recovery and you are good to go
That's for a different model. I'm not prepared to root my phone with a guide that hasn't been tested and confirmed with my phone model.
I searched for my phone model, here are the results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=g360g
There are no guides there that are confirmed to work for G360G.
Can you google and find the clockworkmod recovery for your devive
There is no clockworkmod for his specific model number, and I kindly suggest you chill out a bit. I know you desperately want to be useful with your (not nearly) universal root guide, but as the mod that locked it said, it's not necessary. A copy and paste of many available guides.

From a comment on Reddit:
Not sure about the G360G, but as far as I know there isn't much of a LEGIT way to root the core primes...
I know the model numbers vary and everything, but so far I haven't been able to find anything stable regarding rooting that phone.
Here in the states it is relatively new, which means it is going to be a while before and exploit is found. Give it some time

Hello everybody on my first post in xda, i need your help, it is why i am here, i have a Htc One X of 16GB but with tegra 3, don't have Lte and it say that is from europe in the hardware info (Have HTC logo, don¡t company logo or at&t logo)(yoigo get that one to me, is free sim) and then i don't know if that one is at&t, evita, if is the XL, or simply one x international, i am just now
i was searching for how to root that one (and if possible flash that one) yesterday and today, i have linux installed, ubuntu 13.10, and all what i try to do fail or didn't work. (believe me, i read a long number of post and download a long number of files and try some different methods typing on the console.
I need your help to root my phone, i will accept to unlock bootloader, to edit hex, to flash 20 files, to downgrade my phone, and to burn my face (preffer to don't do it) if neccesary.
How can i do it?
All possible util data from my device:
Resume (Fully updated with the official software)
USB Depuration mode: On.
Android 4.2.2
Sense 5
Software Version 4.18.401.2
Kernel 3.1.10-g7f360be
Compilation number 4.18.401.2 CL231174 (i was touch that 7 times then i am supposed developer)
Hboot 1.72
What is perfect to me?
My final purppose is flash cyanogenmod 10.2.1, if can't do want to simply get root access.
(Other possibility to me is flash that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2640571
(i am not noob (of all) i was rooted some devices and flash two devices and don't have problem to try the harder method if someone know how to do what i want to do)

Tegra3 is not the EVITA, its the ENDEAVORU.
To verify, you can boot into hboot and you will either see EVITA or ENDEAVORU.
For ENDEAVORU, its pointless to ask here. Any advice we give you would fail and possibly even brick your phone. You need to go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x

You should have done some research before you installed the update, it patched the last exploit which means there's no way for you to unlock the bootloader or get root. You'll hav to wait and see IF a dev bothers to crack it on this device which is getting old now.

Any idea or suggestion to unlock the hotspot. I just need the hotspot unlocked I don't need to be root or superiser. I just need the hotspot unlocked, I have tried with Foxfi but it just allow to tether by usb. Any idea for this? Thank you
No you can't without unlocking the unlocking the bootloader and rooting. It's a fairly well established (and discussed) fact that official updates patch root exploits, that's why it pays to research before doing something like that.

When its answered on here there is no method to unlock the bootloader, this includes downgrading. If there was a downgrade method, you would have been directed to that. Downgrading is not allowed on Android without root.

By buying a phone from a source other than your carrier, and also asking to mod the phone to work beyond its intended features (even though WiFi hotspot is intended to work on just about any carrier version except AT&T) you put yourself out of the category of "normal phone user" and it also means you have to do the proper research. Not knowing is no excuse.
So I have done a LOT of reading about rooting the Samsung galaxy S5 and am a little weary of actually rooting since the posts are old and so many people are saying CF (trips Knox) and Towel work/ don't work. I also realize that the two methods are not the only ones out there. I just received my phone like 4 days ago so I would like to not brick my phone. I just received the 5.0 update. I understand that rooting doesn't trip Knox but the custom recovery and roms do. Basically, I would just like a confirmation of what is the best and proven method of rooting my phone. Any help or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I answered his question about cfar and how to find rooting instruction. He mentioned Knox but did not specifically say he was trying to avoid it. The link I gave him has all of the rooting information he would need.
My bad i thought he was asking to avoid tripping. Sorry.

First I installed TWRP the newest version (2.8.x I believe it is from Google play store) then created a backup and put it on my sdcard. Then I used the cf auto root method (for my device). Had no problems. Verified with root checker app. Then made another backup and saved to sdcard. If you follow this and somehow you get bricked I am not responsible, just saying this is what I had done and it worked for me with no problems.
My at&t phone was unlocked and rooted when I got it, but it was lacking the last 6 updates, including lollipop, so I unrooted it to bring it up to date (5.0.1). Now I want to root it again, but haven't found any viable way to do it so far.
I tried Framaroot Plus, but that was a bust, and I had to uninstall it or my phone would personally take me out!!
I have read about people going back to KitKat, and I'm beginning to think I may do that, providing I can find out how, or perhaps someone out there knows how to root this phone and can show me?? ~Thanks

I've looked this up before for other members but I don't recall finding anything that will root the 5.0.1 build for your model. You can look into whether or not your device is safe to downgrade to older stock firmware(one that is root able) and then root.

Finding my way around on this website is usually laborious and confusing. I did find out about "J0din3" for mac, but that was a bust and a great waste of time, because it's too old and now it's undownloadable. So I tried the latest Wine Bottler; it works with el Capitan OSX (what I'm using on the mac) and was able to get Odin to work. However, it's not recognizing my phone, otherwise, I'd be done by now. Have you ever worked with Wine? Can you tell me how I can get the Odin to recognize my phone? Did I do something out of sequence?
And a separate question for xda-dev at large: Why doesn't xda-dev eliminate all the outdated, old, and useless information that rattles around here like satellite debris and gets a lot of people off on the wrong foot?!

there are several guides in the General Section that will walk you thru what you need to do to root your Samsung Note 5. As the previous guy said, it is easily done - just read and follow the instructions outlined in the threads that are all about how to ROOT the note 5.
Good Luck! (Yes, you will need to use Odin in the process - No need to write it all again here - go read in the General Section and you will find what you are looking for.)
This is how you root:

This is not the right place to ask for help with this... Check out the "guide" section... And ask questions In " Questions & Answers" section.
I think this is best method:

Please refrain from posting on this thread again. It will make me regret helping.
Don't forget to thank people who help you in the thread with thanks button. Specially if the guide they made helps a ton. Note this will get rid of at&t software. I think there is way too restore it still but I have not checked for a while.

Is there any current way to unlock the bootloader on the LG V20 H910 with AT&T's latest firmware release? AT&T has locked diown the bootloader, and with LG no longer in the cell phone game, they aren't able to provide the OEM bootloader unlock code as well. A few people have also mentioned that the Dirty Santa no longer works on these devices. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are looking for help, because you don't know how to solve it. So we as a community need a little bit of cooperation from everyone to be able to understand if it's a limitation/roadblock of the method, or if you are doing something wrong for whatever reason.
So posting: "don't work", "it's useless" and anything like that not only don't help but discouraging others who read this threads. Tell the problem/error that you encounter.
I found another user who said that he flashed dirtysanta directly and once have TWRP he worked around it the downgrade flashing necessary.
As last resort you can swap the motherboard for one that is vulnerable for the exploit.
But if you wanna some one-click "I don't wanna have trouble" solution, I'm sorry that I can't provide that.

I have a clients device that needs to be updated, hence the search to unlock the bootloader and then update the device. The posts I come across, even new ones seem to be reposts of others work from before LG shut down their bootloader unlocking service, so ehen you follow their steps they don't work at various steps. I've been updating devices as far back as Android 1.5 and for some devices its a struggle to update them at all. Replacing the pcb isn't an option right now as the customer won't pay for it. Hence I scour various websites and forums for solutions as other post their success/failure in doing the same on this device. Too often I find people posting about updating their devices, only to find that they either already had their bootloader unlocked before LG shutdown their service to do so, or they just don;t reply to a PM about their process, hence they're fake posts, or old posts from years prior being reposted for no valid purpose. The amount of tim I spend to update peoples devices and test custom ROMs is actually fruitless in terms of money paid, but more for me to keep devices out of the landfills whenever possible. Every time I mod a device I make and keep notes, as well as the files used, stored on one of my NAS as I know I'll be doing it again in the future, including properly and fully testing custom roms to determine if they're actually working properly, or exactly what their issue(s) is(are), and I keep finding a plethora of bugs and issues with too many custom ROMs being pumped out before proper testing. I routinely turn down some device update requests when update steps are convoluted, fractured or even requirements are no longer valid. I'll keep looking around and trying various methods as I come across them. Thx.
No problems, I feel for you because I like to keep people using devices that otherwise would be discarded without real needs.
