root for SM-G360T1
There is a developer option to allow for the bootloader to be unlocked. Would that help get this phone rooted? I desperately need a root for this phone.
yeay me too! any updates?

I think that option's only there for the Samsung engineers to update the bootloader and for those who already have root unfortunately, as any changes made to the bootloader without root result in an unbootable device. :/

http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...recovery-twrp2-8-6-0-g925t-5-1-1-of6-t3143002 @bogarty here is some info that will help with making a rooted kernel for the Galaxy core prime the engineer bootloader will only help to not trip knox. The kernel still needs to be selinux permissive and a few other variables in the kernel have to be worked around like the other samsung galaxy phones with lollipop 5.1.1

And yes I know the S6 has a exynos possessor and are core prime are qualcomm they are still both Linux base kernels. I'm start looking at other qualcomm base galaxy phones running lollipop 5.1.1 like the note4 and g360 variants compile some info since I won't have my pc for a couple more days but we will have root and custom recovery before Friday who cares if we void the warranty by tripping the knox counter

I would think the engineer bootloader would be unlocked so you could flash anything, not that it really matters I guess though as we'll likely never see one. I did already make an selinux permissive kernel with superuser and edited init file too that I think should've rooted the device. I even tried packing it into an ODIN file and also a flashable zip, but it doesn't let you boot into Android after flashing a custom anything from recovery or ODIN. I'm with you on the "who cares if we void the warranty" thing for sure. Guess I just wanted to make sure I could still carrier unlock it later with a tripped KNOX, as Samsung said I have to wait 90 days before I can do this. Also, I'm sure you already know that there is an official TWRP for the CORE PRIME already: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxycoreprimequalcomm.html I've been looking into how to port it though specifically for the SM-G360T1 lately, as pretty much everyone has reported it as non-functional. I figure if I can get a working custom recovery then, in theory, testing should be a breeze.
Well samsung of course gives Lil support for there low end phones no lollipop 5.1.1 source codes for any of the variants while custom recovery will be great I think without a custom kernel will cause boot loop

I hear ya. Bootloop's not really a big deal anymore though, which is good news for testing. If you get caught in a bootloop just flash my ODIN boot file...or, of course, if you were flashing a recovery when it happened, then just flash the ODIN recovery file. Works like a charm!

Ok I'm going and getting a new laptop today to being work on a metropcs stock root kernel I'm ready to trim the fat off this phone @bogarty I was reading last night and seen a guy on xda made a tmo kernel for the S5 following Aou and unibase github making changes were need be how is work on the twrp recovery going
Sent from my SM-G360T1 using XDA Free mobile app
Well I figured out why the other TWRP file isn't working for people. Looks like someone just compiled it directly from the generic source for all Core Prime phones without really making any changes. Also looks like they didn't add touch screen support, which is why you can't do anything with it. Made some changes to customize it a bit and add touch, but looks like there may be quite a bit more to be done. Have to start from scratch and work from source as the other TWRP is no good. Have to go out of town though today, so can't do it right now.

Awesome! Yes. We really need a custom "deodexed" rom to be made actually, as Samsung phones require this in order to run the Xposed framework.
Is there any way to remove the Security Warning that continues to pop up after root?

Yes. That was the first question I had too. If you haven't already after root, download SuperSU from the play store and open it at least once. Then, download a root browser and use it to go to the "/system/app" folder. Delete the entire folder in there called "SecurityLogAgent". Make sure to give the browser root permission whenever SuperSU prompts you. After that the security message will not appear.

*Big thanks to those of you who worked on the d2att, that code was invaluable for getting a working graphics driver and some unknowns I could not see.*
Confirmed on:
- SGH-i497 (ATT)
- SGH-T779 (T-Mobile)
You can also use this to get ROOT!
Requirements:
- Windows Computer with Samsung Drivers installed
- Odin if on Windows/Heimdall on Linux
- sdcard in the /sdcard slot
1. Download my Odin package here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/58849669/espresso10att/cwm_recovery_espresso10att_childofthehorn.tar.md5
2. Download SuperSu from Chainfire and copy to your sdcard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
3. Open Odin (as administrator) and hit the "PDA" button, remember to uncheck the reset
4. Mount Device into Download Mode (PWR, Vol) and Hit go on Odin once it appears.
5. Once Finished, Reboot into Recovery
6. Backup your existing image
7. Flash SuperSu from SDcard
8. WInning.
TO RETURN TO STOCK RECOVERY USE THIS ODIN FLASHABLE:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/58849669/espresso10att/espresso10_stock_childofthehorn.tar.md5
****In the process of doing this, I had to bust my /system in order to get the files required.
I would strongly appreciate if anyone can send me a copy of their boot.img and either a copy of their system.img or system.tar.ext4 made by clockworkmod. ****
Part of doing this was integrating everything with the d2-variant build chains in CM9 and CM10. Say thanks in the Thread if you like this or promote this thread so it makes it to the main page.

Thanks Guys!
AWESOME!!!
Sweet, thanks so much, worked amazing on my T-Mobile Tab 2, got root awaiting a CM9 ROM. No rush, just happy to have my root on my plaything. Keep up the amazing work.

I have the ATT device as well, running a full stock rooted backup as we speak. I will get it uploaded when completed. Please hold...
Glad to hear it guys!
Very happy to know it works just as well on the T-mobile one.
I can get some custom ROMs going if I can get a copy of someone's /system and boot.img .
First goal is CM9 and then a migration to CM10.1 once that is pretty stabile.
Luckily for us, we have two amazingly complete CM sources with the d2att ( and nice d2 kernel chain!) and p5100 which cover most of our requirements as far as setup and drivers/libs.
Thank You for the support. If you like this, check out my site, say thanks, and/or vote this up onto the main site for a post so it is more visible.
I will be posting the original stock recovery.IMG in Odin flash able later tonight.

Not at all. You are merely flashing Root over your existing install. I also suggest that you make a backup prior to installing SuperSU. All of your non-native apps and contacts, etc are on /data and SuperSU does not touch /data at all.
Just posted up the Original Stock Recovery in an Odin Flashable if you want to return to stock.
Thanks for figuring this out. If you still need boot img or anything from the t-mobile version let me know. Also is it possible to add the t-mobile model number (SGH-T779) to the thread title, it would help others to find it.
Thanks again
Edit: I just saw that you added the model to the OP. Thanks again
Yeah I can extract system images from the CWM blobs if that is all you have. However a simple tar ball of /system and your boot.img would be helpful.
No more help at this time, however that might change with CM9 integration for T-Mobile.

I honestly have no idea! That Model Number did not appear in the code, however the hardware is the same and considering the partition table is almost exactly like the D2 it just might.
IF YOU DO SO, YOU DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am not responsible!
Worst Case scenario, you will not be able to "wipe" your device in case of a failure easily until you perform a Manual update using Kies (usually the Samsung firmware has the recovery.img in it, but no guarantees!).
Get me a Copy of the Recovery.img or Full Odin Image for that device and I can probably make it work. The same would be true of the new SPH-P500 for Sprint. I do not have a Verzion version so I cannot test it. If you are a willing volunteer, let me know.
The Gtab2 10.1 LTE is Basically a Blown up Galaxy S3. However I am quickly finding that the AOSP D2 Kernel source doesnt like me much... erg.
Im out of town now but if no one shares their system I will dump mine when I get back sat morning.

All the rooting steps are the same as the other gtab 2 10.1???
Yes. Basically.
These are the standard root steps for all Samsung devices with unlocked boot loaders.
Its the software and images that you are putting on your device which are different.

After a lot of testing remotely I haven't been able to crack the Exynos based Note 3. I currently use KNOX files within the system.img to call to a file on the sdcard as root to install SuperSU and supporting files. The Exynos doesn't seem to have KNOX, at least not yet. It does have a counter like the older Galaxy series had, except there is currently no way to reset the counter.
I am pretty confident that if I had the device I could get it rooted without increasing the counter. Borrowed, donated, gifted.. doesn't really matter.
I am trying to gauge the interest in doing this, are there even that many people on XDA with the Exynos based models?
I don't have a complete list of models that are Exynos based, but you can get a pretty good idea from this;
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/08/15...agon-800-variant-sm-n9005-specs-confirmation/
Post your model info if you have an Exynos based Note 3! Lets get a list started.
Great move.. This is mine in India.

The download mode doesn't show knox or binary counters even after rooting the device. I could only see my binary counter at 1, when I've looked into the triangle app.
Although it does not have KNOX status in download mode, after rooting using CF-Auto-Root make KNOX cannot be installed/run in the app. If i am not mistaken it said knox cannot register or something like that...
Beside the counter of course.

As stated in CF-Auto-Root Thread:
" You will need to flash a stock kernel and stock recovery to reset the binary status"
If someone who rooted with CF-Auto-Root were to flash stock kernel and stock recovery and then try to install knox I think that might give us an idea if the root procedure is reversible? What do you guys think?
Edit:
So I now understand that the Custom Binary Count does not revert to zero. Is that all we are missing to get the root full reversible?
Yes, only that part is missing..

I get your point mate so i also think maybe that can be true
but i still have jus to questions on my head which makes me to think about this:
1- some people have rooted their exynos devices. and after that when they flashed back the stock rom and make a factory reset, they still weren't able to launch anything about the Knox app. so if there is not any flag on efuse or somewhere else, how is that possible that the Knox app recognizes the previous root and just refuses to be launched?
2- ok for example now we say that there is really not any flag about knox on our devices. if Samsung updates the bootloader and puts a knox flag, what would happen? i mean if we just flash the new stock fw without root, will still knox recognize the previous root and put knox flag to 0x1 immediately when the new bootloader will be installed?
sorry for my complicated message, but i hope i could explain my questions
EDIT: @designgears on the poll did you voted as Hell No, just curious

I can't speak for the others, but having a root method for Exynos models that didn't carry the risk of voiding the warranty of a $750 dollar phone would be extremely appealing to me.
Chainfire can't reset flash count on i9500 & SM-N900 because of exynos 5.
so. We can't enjoy Root .
Unless someone can provide one way to Root without increase flash count.
Or Someone can find way to reset flash count .

Hello everyone, I am in the process of development for the SM-T217A however, I require some information form members who have this device. (mostly for my verification). below is what information i will need so if you are able to provide it that would be much appreciated.
1. Are you rooted? If so what method (kingo, etc).
2. Screenshot of your "Settings- About".
3. Screenshot or picture of your device in "Download" mode. (For verification of some system information).
4. Whether or not you have flashed the official 4.2.2 image from Samsung using Odin.
If you can all bear with me on what may sound like simplistic questions this will go a long way towards some custom development for this device.
My development background is with HTC devices however I recently expanded into the Samsung market and have noticed the lack of development for the AT&T devices (Mostly do to no unlocked bootloaders).
I'm glad to see development for this device!
1. Not at the moment, purchased yesterday.

good, this confirms we dont have the knox bootloader, at least not until 4.4 comes out
also even tho there are knox components we can remove those without ill effect
I am currently running the current configuration (and the device still shows as official)
Rooted (using kingo app)
init.d support added (not using any boot.img methods)
several init scripts for battery enhancement and performance
a few other various tweaks including xPosed modules
Samsung know applications and folders removed via script.
suggestions and recomendations would be welcome.

if you could get into the bootloader or get custom recovery that would be sweet
I rooted my wifes jflteATT s4 and flashed custom revovery using safestrap because like our t217a's the galaxy s4 out of ATT has locked bootloader... I was wondering If it is possible to create a safestrap or bootstrap type recovery for our tabs?

unfortunately I'm not making any progress in this endeavor, ill continue to try different approaches but for now I'm pretty much back at square one.
Nothing wrong with square one! Now all you have to figure out is how to get to square two.
Everyone can wait until you get the right combination.

just throwin this out there
I have an idea. Understand I am not a developer, nor a zip flashing custom recovery android guru by any means. Im a noob that just loves the topic, as you can see this is now only my second post so here it goes.
would there be a way to use the root access to partition the internal sd, then relocate system files apps and data to the primary, allowing you to wipe the secondary disk partition and side load/install the stock rom from the t217s? Kind of like creating a virtual nand and have a dual boot setup? Then we could flash and backup the recovery and take over bootloader?
this is just me daydreaming and feel free to flame as I have no knowledge if the above is possible or not.
I just hope this shows that I am willing and eager to assist the development process any way I can.
lastly I am scared to install xposed framework because with locked bootloader I cant flash recovery and backup. There is almost no information on user experience with xposed on our t217a devices, any feedback pertaining to kernel tweaking without custom recovery or backup would be nice.
thank you very much

first, what you are proposing is actually capable via the safestrap application (our device is not supported as of yet and likely wont be) so basicaly the answer is no.
as far as xPosed goes, I have been rooted (with kingo app) and running exposed since the day I brought it home from the AT&T store with absolutely no issues what so ever. I have also managed to set this up with init.d support and tweak some battery and performance counters without the need for a insecure boot image.
there is much that this device can do and I have a few additional things to try and may have a test flash in a few days. (first try flashed for me but not for a tester next one hopefully will be more stable.
its just a bit tricky with odin I am used to HTC devices and unlocked bootloaders building an odin flashable tar.md5 with proper signatures in theory should be a simple straightforward process. however it has tripped me up as of today.
Oh Wow!
Thanks for the input on xPosed. As far as the init.d support goes, command line prompt and entry as well as scripting for some reason confuses me. ill need to do more research before I can understand the topic. Do we have an insecure boot.img on our kingo app roots? if not then can we only achieve true root access through init.d support until we can flash a touchable recovery?
Keep up the good work, im impressed that you've had a successful flash. my financials will be looking better here soon and when I can ill definitely donate to the cause. Im no developer by far but if me or my device can be of any assistance let me know.
sm-t217a
Good to see someone wanting to work on these tabs, if you need anything let me know. I can wipe my device and copy all the files, could probably extract the blobs also, I am downloading the cm source as I type this and was going to try and delevope a rom for my other tab 3 the sm-t210r and see if antthing would transfer over, I know the sm-t217a has a better processor with overclock im at 20,000 on antutu, I think if my memory serves me right best I got with the sm-t210r is like 12 or 13,000.
I am still new to dev. Pretty good at the rest of the stuff though, been using and getting familar with ubuntu lately

as far as what can copy between the two devices, system apps (any non device specific apps may work but most of those will be common between the devices.
its slow going I am able to pull apart the official 4.2.2 rom and manipulate as needed just need to get past a couple of quirks with Odin and hopefully we will be good to go. once I get past the odin flash issues ill definetly be looking for more testers and help with this.
tester for sure

i am subscribed to this thread now so... Yea whatever you need let me know i am in, I am going to do some hardcore reading tonight and see what i can figure out about getting a custom recovery for these devices, another device that is identical from what i can come up with is the sprint version of the tab 3 sm-t217s.
Thread Closing
I have asked the Mods to close this thread, I will be opening a thread in the Tab3 7.0 Development section in the coming days with some modifications tweaks and some scripting changes. Unfortunately building a Odin Flashable ROM that is stable and usable at this point is not going to happen but i am able to implement several tweaks and cleanups etc thru scripting.
If sprints variant has a locked bootloader, that means:
No traditional recovery (only safestrap recovery)
No custom kernels
No aosp ROMs
Till now I have not heard of a way to get around the locked bootloader on Samsung devices, I love my s4 and I was thinking of getting s5 but I might go for one m8 this time.
If you're able to root, will we be able to still flash mods? I need native hotspot.

The international version was already rooted. The answer to your question is yes. Just depends on Dev support for the Sprint S5.
Also if you "need" hotspot you'd pay for it. You just want it.

You will definitely be able to root and ROM this hon (as well as kernels, mods, themes, etc..), just a matter of time and seeing the Dev support for the Sprint S5. This is why I am waiting a month or so to get my S5!

Root, touchwiz based rom, and mods yes, but you will not be able to load different kernels
I took the following from note 3 forum (bootlocked model)
"The AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 ships with a locked bootloader which means that as of right now AT&T Note 3 users only have the ability to flash Custom ROM's & Mod’s using @Hashcode’s Safestrap recovery – KERNEL FLASHING is not possible!
what types of ROMs are compatible?
Because of the locked bootloader on the AT&T Note 3, only Samsung TouchWiz based Custom ROM’s are able to be flashed to the AT&T Note 3.
Custom ROMs based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) such as CyanogenMOD, Paranoid Android, Omni, etc cannot be flashed. This is due to the inability to flash custom kernels using Safestrap Recovery"

Ahh not too sure about backups and restores. I'm gonna test that out in the morning cause I got a couples things I gotta test out of my own. But the Philz version in the Original GS5 dev forum is the one. The international S5. You'll see in his OP, Sprint is there for supported devices.

CAUTION with 5.1.1 UpdateG925PVPU2B0F7I've been spending some time reading T-mobiles issues with the update. This isn't a super new conversation, but is probably new to many Sprint users. The update appears have rollback protection, which effects both kernel and bootloader from what they are saying... Which I find slightly confusing since I didn't think that their was a locked bootloader on the US versions (maybe someone can assist with that)
Figured we could start the conversation early for Custom Root/Recovery/etc. users, so that we may save some of us some trouble with Soft/Hard brinks in the next week or so.
This is the thread I've been looking at.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/general/psa-odin-5-1-1-t3136151
EDIT:
NO, the bootloader is not locked with the 5.1.1 update.
Rather, "Factory Reset Protection" (an Android thing - not a Samsung thing!) is now an option, which allows you to lock the bootloader yourself, protecting your device from someone installing a custom recovery, wiping your device and making it their own. It makes the device somewhat less valuable, and therefore (supposedly) less likely to be stolen.
The 5.1.1 upgrade looks to be a "permanent" upgrade, meaning we're not able to revert back to 5.0.2 kernels and recoveries.
So, I would suggest to sit tight with your current set up. In order to customize our devices we will need to wait for:
A) Root for 5.1.1
-Root has been achived: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...elopment/5-1-1-stock-of7-kernel-root-t3153396
B) Samsung to post the source code for the new kernel.
C) Custom Recovery
-Recovery has been achived:
Once we have the above, we can get back to modding our devices.
If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.
Interesting article, I remember several other older Samsung devices where you could not downgrade bootloaders and modems. IE Galaxy S3, note 3, s5. But there was still root, Roms and the ability to flash kernels. Hopefully there's no need to go back anyway. The kernel thing is something new so I may hold off on upgrading. Thanks for the info

This is my first Samsung, so the whole root recovery process was almost too smooth since I've been on the HTC side for 5 years. Unlocking bootloaders, S-off and requesting tokens to push.. Ugh, as must as I likes HTC and Sense, that sucked.
I think I'm holding off as well, untill Sac23/ Ram9200 might have spare time to look over the update first and make sense of it all and could at least get it to where V.2 is right now. But it sounds like the Kernel could be our hold up, without Hybridmax's current support.

Yea but based off of my years of experience and having Samsung devices, I'm pretty sure that someone will find a way moving forward, but going back probably won't happen. I too had an HTC evo years back lol and I couldn't stand the root process. I feel your pain. But yea it may be wise just to wait for a while on the update
Root added

I agree. Definitely a step in the right direction.
Any Sprint rep on here that can tell us when the update is going live?? Someone has to know something ..
