I keep searching trying to find stuff. I found a thread on another forum that led me to getting root. I know patience is a virtue, and all, but I should would like to see some work on roms, and recoveries, and for there to actually be a section on XDA for this device.
Yeah I accidentally tried to flash a bootloader from the "Verizon-GS3-CASUAL-Revision131a" java program. I lost my backups in the process so can anyone give me a hand with a backup from thier Stellar?
Hey I actually found the open-source kernel and platform for the Stellar at Samsung's Open Souce site.
Would that help me any?
Idk, I unfortunately don't know much about the development side of things. I rely on the devs here for that stuff. I'm to afraid to mess something up to flash something that someone else hasn't said that it works. I used to do that with my Captivate, but I need this phone to work, and not stuck in infinite bootloop

You wouldn't happen to have a backup by any chance?
I don't know what recovery to use, or how to flash it. If I had that I could make a backup, and upload it

If you got ClockworkMod recovery onto your phone (as I saw you got it rooted) you may be able to give me a zip and I think I can make it into a .tar file so Odin will read it since Odin mode is the only mode my phone will get into right now.
I'll keep looking around for some other methods of backup...I also heard Titanium Backup wasn't too bad...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491157
This link is a place where I found the possibility of using a CWM .zip file for Odin.
I am rooted, but have not installed a recovery. I am not sure which one to flash, or how to flash it

Hmm...you bring up a good point. It's best I not ask you to put in a new recovery mode since we don't know what exactly that will do to the Stellar. I will say that before I bricked the phone I actually did make it work...barely so lets not do that.
Can you try using some programs that access the phone through the computer?
Google this: Index of /romdump
You should find a little program calle Romdump. It should extract the roms without messing anything up.
Do you know about ADB? If not I do have enough experience to help you with that.
You need to have a clockwork mod recovery that is built for this phone, or whatever phone you are using, in order to get it to flash. Without a custom recovery for the galaxy stellar, or at least a recovery that is sure to work for this phone (I think I heard about some S3 stuff that works for the stellar, like the root method I think you used) the recovery will not flash and your phone will not load until you reflash the stock recovery.
Do not flash any recoveries until you know they work for your phone (i.e. someone has tested them), or without a backup of your stock recovery.
Since you are both saying you're not devs and don't really know what you're doing (neither do I really) I would suggest not flashing any recoveries that have not been confirmed to work for the stellar. Yes, many people use CWM and TWRP but there is a custom build of those recoveries for every phone, they are not universal.
I'm really interested in this phone so I'm hoping some development starts. Without community support and development I don't think I would bother switching to Verizon to get this phone even though its free. I hate cell phone contracts...
Not to be rude, but you wouldn't happen to have a rooted Galaxy Stellar on hand?
I also found something else that may help bring the phones back:

UPDATE: If anyone can use this on their phones I would be very grateful:
This link shows how to use romdump to get the stock firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771347
I thought there would be a lot more people like me who needed a new phone, didn't really have money for an upgrade, so they went with this phone like I did. Doesn't really seem like it has gained much interest in the dev community. It still doesn't have it's own subforum on here. I am starting to really regret getting this phone. Half the fun of having android for me was the dev, and community support for the devices I had in the past. I had the galaxy s, and the inspire 4g, both of which had really big communities, and they started pretty much right at the release for those phones.

Hey do you two have Samsung Stellars? If so, are you interested in rooting your phone?
STOCK ROM!
HEY guys I rooted my phone already. Things were going great, until i decided to download some kind of font switch. I guess it is required for the phone to be root. Then it asked me to restart my phone, that's when my phone froze on the samsung logo screen . It' stuck there ever since. I did a factory reset, and that didn't work either. So i downloaded ODIN and im waiting for a STOCK rom! can anybody help me with that and PM me?It would be great THANKS!
Anyone have an idea on how to back up the stock rom? I haven't seen anyone who has successfully done it with this phone yet

Sovereign738111 and I worked on this yesterday and got the recovery, system, and bootloader images off of my phone and into a couple of files. Now we just need a developer to give them to...In the meantime I'm also reading up on how to build a custom ROM etc. so that I can get familiarized with it. That way I can possibly try it myself. I know how to compile my own regular Linux kernel and add packages and things of that nature, and looking at what I've seen so far, figuring this out for Android shouldn't be too difficult.
I don't have the Stellar but I would be willing to work on a ROM for you guys. If someone would give me the files I need, I'll gladly do it. Just need a couple of people to test also.

So the Samsung Galaxy Prevail LTE (aka Samsung Galaxy Core Prime) has been on the market for almost 3 months now, and I've yet to find any applications or methods to root this device.
Maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places?
So far I've tried the following:
-iRooot (formerly vRoot)
-Kingo
-TowelRoot
-OneClickRoot
-SRSroot
Also I've tried to root via the ADB push method to load busybox and su. However, hooking the Android up to a machine running Ubuntu and launching Nautilus, I'm unable to see or browse the directories on the device.
So does anyone have any recommendations or know of any apps or methods that might work?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Unfortunately these phones don't seem to be very common or sold in certain territories making it difficult for developers to root them. Keep looking for a root as you never know when one will come out but as far as I'm aware the phone has not been successfully rooted yet.
kingroot_4.0.0 so far is what ive found. not like having su but i can install viper and xposed and both work so its a improvement.
There is a root available over on Androidforums.com under the heading "prevail LTE root". It uses another recovery and rooting for another model samsung but it does work ok. I tried it on my prevail LTE and is currently running rooted right now. When you first do it I recommend you do it after a fresh wipe and then wipe again immediately thereafter because it will give you a system UID error if not. So use Titanium Backup to restore apps and settings after you wipe ( judiciously). I've talked to shabbypenguin to see if he would develop a recovery for it. He's busy so I guess I mean I'm waiting right now for him to get to it.<br />

Now how do we get a custom recovery cause im having a brain fart. But this is only my second phone to root and last one was pretty much 2 yrs old and i just followed a forum.
I used the latest version of Kingroot and it was a simple one-click root. The version i used was in Chinese, i think, but i went to their website through chrome on my laptop and just let google translate the page and then followed the instructions from there...Now im real new to all this so im sure there may be easier ways...My phone is rooted, I have my MSL, so i have to ask... Now what?

Anyone making progress on this phone? I too would like to have Cyanogenmod on it if possible!
I used the method show at androidforums. com/threads/prevail-lte-root.906261/ to root 2 devices mine and my wife's both work fine with SU enabled too. Now I just need some custom roms to make it work like it should have from factory lol
Bump!

Hello,
I am very new to the rooting community, I am above average as a computer user, but mobile programming/rooting is an uncharted territory for me-please forgive the simple nature of this post.
I have a Huawei H892L Raven LTE phone.
I got this phone for cheap, so I didnt mind experimenting with rooting (as a novice) with it because if i bricked it I could just go back to my S4 or note 3.
anyways I have looked all around, looked at other threads, watched videos and most of what I saw was kind of vague. i have grasped the basic concept (i think..) of rooting but some areas are still unclear.
1. I rooted my phone and now I want to make sure I have a backup of it before i proceed with doing much else with it. I have downloaded CWM recovery and some other recovery tools in hope to make a backup of my device. But most of them require premium accounts to make backup from what i can gather.
Using an app called ROM tool box lite > Rom Installer >I see the options to Backup current ROM, Backup Recovery, and Backup Kernel..
Now do I want to make a "backup of my current Rom"? Would this option backup the stock H89RL Raven LTE image that is currently on the phone? or is this feature mean it is used to backup a custom rom that say i downloaded, used on my phone, maybe tweeked a little bit and wanted to back up?"
or when I am backing up my Raven H892L stock image should i use the "Backup recovery" and "backup kernel" options? I used both of these, but I am not sure if those options will suffice as properly and safely giving me reassurance that if i mess up anything i can recover the original format of the phone.
sooo.. what exactly do I need to use and what steps do i need to take to reassure I can play with new root and be able to fix it should i mess up? what file format are proper backups of my phones current settings... .img? and what steps would I take to recovery the old image of the phone?
2. I also need some clarification about SuperUser and SuperSU apps. I used kingoroot and it installed kingo superuser on my phone. Which is the preferred superuser app I should use? if i delete the kingo superuser app will it take away my ability to easily unroot my phone via pc the same way i rooted it? (there is an option on kingoroot when i plug my phone into my computer to unroot) the only reason i kept Kingoroots superuse over superuserSU is because I wanted to make sure I could unroot. what exaclty is the purpose of these apps? to delegate permissions? or is there other uses for them?
3. custom roms- I want to put a custom rom on my phone. i do not see any custom roms for my specific mobile device, (obviously because many people do not have this device, i really didnt expect there to be) Is there, for a lack of better words a "universal," or a custom rom I could use that would be compatible with my device? Are most ROMS used for android not device specific. (Im really sorry if thats a really stupid question.) I dont really understand this. is there a custom rom you would suggest me using?
4. What are some useful tools or cool things that I can do with my newly rooted device? any suggestions? what are your favorite things to do with a rooted device? Am i kind of out of luck because of the specific device I have not being so popular? I'm being a huge newb here but I thought I would give this forum a try.
I really really appreciate you taking the time to read all that if you did!
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Ok, first, as far as I know you cannot make a backup without custom recovery. I have searched for a custom recovery for you but I did not find one anywhere in XDA or Google.
You will have to find a custom recovery(CWM or TWRP) for Huawei H892L if it exists anywhere and install it however the guide you find it in says to install it, the method used will depend on what file format your recovery file is, the method also varies from device brand to device brand. Recoveries are very specific things, the recovery for one device brand/model number does not work on another device brand/model number, sometimes recoveries can be shared by devices that are virtually identical in hardware/software but more than most of the time trying a recovery for one device on another results in a bricked device similar to flashing the wrong BIOS on a PC.
As for the superuser, superSU and kinguser, if you have Kinguser I recommend you use the supersume app from the playstore to switch to superSU, it does it for you. If at some point you choose to unroot, there is an option in the superSU app settings that lets you unroot and uninstall superSU and root is completely gone.
Custom ROMs are flashed in custom recovery, for copyright and trademark reasons most custom ROMs have to be flashed along with a compatible Google apps package, referred to as Gapps. They both come in .zip format. The Android version of your ROM and Gapps have to match, 4.4/4.4, 5.0/5.0, 5.1/5.1 etc.. The custom ROMs are also device brand/model specific and also can't be shared. No, there is no "universal" android ROM. You are correct that your device is not popular so you most likely won't find anything as far as custom ROMs and recoveries. You would have been better off rooting and customizing your S4(depending on your model number) or your Note 3, there is plenty available and they are actually much easier devices to work with, I love my Samsung devices, they are easily rooted and usually easy to fix if a modification goes wrong, the device you have will easily get messed up and would likely be almost impossible to fix.
Root gives you control over everything about the device, you can modify any and every part of your systems software to look and function how you choose it to do, you can even modify the apps you install or even add features that it didn't have before as long as your hardware supports it, for example my Straight talk S3 supports Hotspot and tether even though it didn't come with it, and that's just the least of the mods my device has.
For more answers to your questions you can post in the thread linked below, there are many knowledgeable members in that thread, including myself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257421
Good luck in your journey, if you choose to customize one of your Samsung devices(which i personally recommend for someone new to this because they are easy to repair), they are virtually impossible to brick beyond repair unless you just completely lose your head and use something meant for another device and 95% of the time even that is fixable.
thank you so

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my questions, and so thoroughly too! And that sounds like a good idea, I am going to just root my S4 and use that for a beginners root device. Nice to know it will be hard to mess that up. so i will download supersume and switch over to superSU automatically.. I also have straight talk, is it really possible to make my s4 a hotspot?? i heard something about that, but also heard something about straight talk being fussy about it? is there a way they would even know, by analyzing data intake maybe? idk where i heard that from. but Anyways. thanks for all the info. I think I will stick around in these forums and gather information and maybe ask for help if I need it.

As long as your S4 doesn't have a locked bootloader you should be fine, if its locked then you'll likely brick it trying anything, post me your model numbers for both the S4 and the Note 3 and I'll see what is out there before you do anything.

Yeah, the i545 is one that is a pain, what firmware version does it have? Is it easy to get to? If it's one of the versions with locked bootloader you can root it possibly but custom recovery and custom ROMs is absolutely out of the question. With locked bootloader you'll be stuck with using Safestrap and modified stock ROMs.

Are you sure this isn't 5.0.1? i'm finding i545 root for 5.0.1 but no 5.0.2.
The thread below is root for 5.0.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/rooted-galaxy-s4-t3158098
you"ll have to ask about the bootloader and whether or not you have to use custom recovery(CWM, TWRP) or Safestrap in the i545 forum linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/help
Be careful, I have tried to repair an i545 that had been flashed with TWRP over the locked bootloader, there is no saving it if this is done, be certain of what you have before you do anything, either way isn't too difficult you just have to be sure of which way you have to go.
Exactly which razr model number do you have?
It is 5.0.1 my fault! I was looking right at it too. So the secure boot status=Samsung means the boot loader is definately locked?

There aren't any root methods or recovery for it yet, & as far as I've seen there isn't a stock tar either. The Boost model doesn't seem to be recieving as much support as the other variants.
What about kingroot just to do a partition backup of the stock recovery then unroot and see if someone could make it a twrp recovery and if there's no recovery there's a chance chainfires flashfire might be able to make a backup and flash supersu without a recovery. Im just not sure what could be done to fix a bootloop as for flashfire the system need to be booting and on for it to work. Also i think flashfire only works for with supersu unless thats changed over time to work with any superuser app. There's some root methods I just saw for pc like one click root it says it works but I'm not sure. I think if I can pull this recovery partition there's a chance for twrp but I can't do nothing until I get the phone. Hmm the phone is still new 2016 model for boost mobile so hopefully in time it all works out.

I've tried Kingroot but there's no root strategy... it asked me if I would like to disable Knox but I didn't allow it to so I wouldn't know. I'm honestly only trying to root it so that I can unlock native tethering/disable Boost's hotspot limit.
You wouldn't know how to bypass that by any chance, would you?

I am not 100% sure on that one. I know I am going to try to bypass it too cause I need my wifi on the go for my tablet.

This one here says they got root on 6.0 there's a few steps which has to be taken. I'd try it once I get my phone. Im not sure if its a official verison or unofficial version but a couple people said it worked.

Looks like sprint launched the j7 as well so if development happens for sprint it will also work on boost mobile and virgin mobile. Sprint usually has all its galaxy's the same way just different software for all 3 carriers.

Stock boot image

Heres the stock recovery and stock boot image for boost mobile galaxy j7. Im having trouble using clockworkmod recovery builder online. When i go to click build recovery it just hangs there and says session took too long then fails.. Would anyone know how iam supposed to fix this error iam getting or is there another way to make this stock recovery a custom recovery which is a odin flashable tar. Reason is cause ive tried every root method i could find and they all dont work so i was hoping that flashing supersu through recovery would. I also think a systemless root with a modified boot image would work. Im not sure to build the boot image or recovery. A little help would be appreciated.
i have ported twrp from the other variants and it flashes with odin fine but it just wont boot if someone would like me to upload so they can take a crack at it llet me know, i just cant figure out why it wont boot
I like boost mobile if they keep making phones as nice as this j7 ill stay with them. Im on the $55 unlimited high speed data plan which i upgraded to auto pay which saves me $5 a month. So for $50 a month i have unlimited high speed data and a nice Galaxy J7. Im new to boost mobile and not regretting switching from tmobile.

Life itself ??
I dont see whats up with the camera reviews on this phone online. Iam able to take actual pretty good pictures with the front and back camera. I like the flash on the front camera how its like a flashlight which is on and can pickup your face when theres no light and takes alright selfies. I know its not 50 mega pixel camera so i cant expect it to be one but it gets everything done i need. And the battery life is pretty good as well. Im on facebook and google play misic and youtube all day and it doesnt take to long to let it charge fully as long as your not power using it during charging... it charges faster when its turned off and plugged into the charger.. i got nothing but good things to say about this phone i have a note 2 as well and it wasnt even as nice as this phone specs wise. I mean id hate to flash a rom and only get a couple hours battery life each charge i could live without a rom cause this phone is just that nice to me in my opinion..
I've ordered this phone (SM J700P) and am waiting for it to get here. So far nobody has indicated that there is a working root or a custom recovery for it.

I'm pretty sure it's also known as the J7 (2015) and the 2016 version is a little less long but not on Boost.
So it looks like this phone will be used as stock for at least a few months. Maybe before the end of the year someone will develop a root for it.
Since I posted the questions here, I ran across this how to on rooting.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/how-to/video-root-samsung-galaxy-j7-sm-j710f-t3401790
I am going to give it a try and see how it works out. It may very well work, so it is worth a try.
Thank you all for your responses, and I will let you know if I have any success with this method.
I like boost also, but I have not dealt with them for about a year, as my last cellphone is sleeping with the fishes, an S4. My assistant ignored my request that he not give my cell number to the employees and he gave it to everyone, so I threw it in the lake where I was fishing and went without a phone for a year.
Life can be very peaceful without a cellphone.

Facebook was nice enough to make me a beta tester which i thought was nice of them to pick me as a tester for both apps..
They can't pay me enough to put a facebook app on my phone.
They are already to invasive about what you do, and where you go on a PC, so the last thing I want is spyware on my phone.

Link to be a google app beta tester im now a beta tester for google as well.. theres not much else to do right now on this phone so have a little fun. Note theses beta versions arent supported by the devs on custom software so their not going to fix anything even though the features work... especially google they want you stock... so have fun and remember your feedback is important..
Hi everyone
I hope to get a once and for all answer to this question. I always hate rooting my phones purely because of the immense information overload everytime. Anyways here is my story.
I would like to root my phone inorder to get read write access to my system folder inorder to make a few changes. That is it. I don't wanna flash my phone, don't wanna dual boot it with like 20 different roms. None of that.
As a result I'm looking for a simple approach to just root my phone. So flashing the Xiaomi Developer Rom is out of the question. This where the information overload started. Yesterday I started by typing in Root Xiaomi Mi4 on Google and I got firstly the offical Dev Rom and next I got something called iRoot where everyone on Xda pretty much synonomously just said no, some even said that's a no go rather look at vRoot which was very mandarin and so confirmed by Xda yet again however someone then mentioned Kingoroot which seemed pretty decent and so I started with that however as I was waiting for it to detect my phone I came across a don't use Kingoroot or you will die type post on the Xiaomi Forums on Android Police that even referenced Xda removing Kingoroot because it was that bad. As you can imagine I've never janked a cable from my phone quicker than that. So back to the drawing board where someone then mentioned a KingRoot which I just couldn't find and a farmaroot which was almost just as quickly written off as malicious as what I had found it.
Point is I just want to root my phone to make a few settings changes, why is this such an issue. Can someone on here please just once and for all tell me. What is a simple safe way or program that I can use to root my phone that isn't gonna steal my phones virtual liver and sell it on the droid market please.
Thank you for your time and assistance

Thanks Xperia U Lover
So just to confirm my original post then, is KingoRoot now safe to use again, was it ever not safe to use or was this article just nonsense: androidnews. co. in/2013/11/08/psa-use-kingo-root-vroot-root-android-device
Thanks
