Hey everyone,
So this is pretty straight foreward, I'm attempting to root my Galaxy Core Prime (G360T, from T-Mobile in US) and I have had absolutely zero luck finding ANYTHING related that model number.
I've found plenty of stuff here, but it is all related to the G360H, G, and even the T1 (i think?) I've tried Kingo, Odin, and a few other things and I'm getting absolutely no where.
I'm wondering if anyone out here has had any luck with rooting this device in particular, or if maybe there is something I'm missing? I'm pretty new to the idea of rooting devices but I'm a proficient technically so I'm not exactly sure what is going on.
Is it T-Mobile software or something blocking the ability to root? I can't believe there is that much of a difference between my phone and say the G360H.
Thanks in advanced for the help, as I'm totally clueless at this point.

There are many of us using the MetroPCS version G360T1 that will gladly try any root method you get going. Feel free to contact directly if you need some testing help. While waiting for root, I tried Package Disabler Pro 3.7 that was released September 15. It works fine on the G360T1, although it says "Custom" under "Device status" in "About Device -> Status." Haven't gone to Download Mode to see if the triangle is set or not, but I'm guessing the flash counter has been tripped. I'm not worried about it too much, and it may have been tripped with some other attempt to root the device. Still, this app was just what I needed to disable all the junkware and still have a smooth working Lollipop 5.1.1 while waiting for the real goodies.

The thing is i got g3601 and its running kitkat and no update availble on it ??? so i am porting 5.1 for it.Recovery has been patched up and working kinda fine but need to fix alot of issues.normally i dont develop for mid range mobiles but my brother got one so that is why i started with this one.my first projects are z3 + and xperia lines.I will let you know when it is completed for testing.
Hmm, I thought this was for SM-G360T and the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime that is out for T-Mobile and running Lollipop 5.x. Is the G3601 a typo or different model? The MetroPCS G360T1 will work fine with the firmware and files from T-Mobile G360T because they are the same device and even same network provider. Anyway, it looks like someone was kind enough to modify the kernel source code the Samsung posted just a week or two ago. Here is the news, but be warned that it will trip the KNOX flag:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g360t1-5-1-1-t3203522
I put my G360T1 in download mode and it still says official and no warning triangle. I mentioned that it said custom in the About Phone page after doing other terminal entries and running Package Disabler Pro 3.7. Some may want to wait to root the device until there is a deodex'd rom out there to run xposed framework. I like the slimed down stock 5.1.1 and there are a bunch of garbage programs hogging the decent entry level device resources. More news to come...

My specs:
Model #: SM-360T
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: G360TUVU1AOF9
I migrated from Nokia 521 - Windows 8.1 phone to this Android device because of the litany of apps I could use for productivity. I am highly disappointed that I am unable to revoke permissions of applications to resources I think they don't need. So, I basically use phone to make calls and text. If someone has successfully rooted THIS smartphone version, please advise. I'm a little technical, too.
Try this: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu. find your model and download the file you need, unzip it then put your phone in download mode and use odin 3.7 to send it to the phone. That outta be enough. I have not rooted this particular device in a while but I have rooted plenty of others using that method and it works like a charm every time. I just did a quick look up and your model is listed there. Give it a try and post your results.
Thank you so much, Geevil!!!
Appreciate your response.

Hello how would one root the sm-g360t and get custom recovery on it ?
Sent from my SM-G360T using Tapatalk
I have the sm g360t1, though no computer to connect the phone to. I see this phone listed in the cf-auto root repository linked above- not sure if that method needs a computer. King root may have worked, though the root gone by when using w0lfdroid's
Kingroot removal/supersu installer. It worked on orher phones.
King root is such spyware. I really want to try something else...

Yes King Root is bad. Pretty much like malware for your device. Don't use cf-auto-root either, as it's kind of a generic root and doesn't really function properly. I'm helping people constantly fix their devices after either tryung King or CF. Use Trapkernel to root the SM-G360T1 & SM-G360T. It's quick and easy and roots the device with no problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62859013 Here is the recovery you should use too in case anyone's wondering. You flash it the same way as root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66266209
I recommend using version 3.0.1-0 though, as version 3.0.2-0 has had problem flashing certain roms for some reason.
Thanks bogarty, I was able to root and flash custom recovery on my phone with both links you provided here.. I have the T-Mobile version (SM-G360T) but everything went well
Dont know if ppl still trying to root this device but I just found out that you can download the rooting file trough chainfire for this model. Here´s the link: https://download.chainfire.eu/767/C...to-Root-cprimeltetmo-cprimeltetmo-smg360t.zip
Why do that when there is a root method for this device.
Follow this thread here for all your root needs for this device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...should work just fine for the tmobile version
will this allow me to use a at&t sim card in my SM-G360T phone instead of T-Mobile
I've got the SM-G930UZKAXAA arriving today and after a ton of searching, I can't figure out if there's a stable root for it. Do I use the AT&T method with the engineering image for that device?
Also is there just one thread that has solutions for all the problems rooting seems to be giving it?
Honestly I don't even need root that badly, I just want to use Titanium Backup to bring over my apps from my Oneplus 3, since Helium won't work on an encrypted device.
Yes, follow AT&T root directions with EngineeringBoot for G930U. The only problem I had was the wifi saving. There's a couple different ways to fix that. I used S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039.
Hi all,
I want a rooted phone but my last two phones (LG Stylo 2 and Samsung J727V) seem to be unrootable despite research and no lack of trying. I'm currently trying to root an older phone but there's no root for it with its current firmware and firmware rollback isn't working. It feels like someone in the mix (carrier/manufacturer/OS developer) is invested in making rooting as hard as possible. I really just want to go ahead and get a phone that is easily rootable on a carrier that allows it. Is there a good rule of thumb like, "look, go sign up with this carrier and get this phone today and come back to XDA?"
Thanks!

have you try kingroot? kingroot only will add a admin account. it won't change the stock Rom of your device. if it works for your device this is the fastest way to do it. without pc. just a apk file

Did you unlock your bootloader?
I have a few unlocked / rooted devices around the house, I've flashed ROMs, Magisk, GApps, etc, on them, but I've never actually unlocked bootloaders or messed around with Odin myself - I purchased them already unlocked.
I'm looking to purchase a few cheap wi-fi devices (no network capability needed) for my kids to use around the house and on trips, and I wanted to inquire if people here still consider the Note 3 (specifically, the N9005) an easy device for a novice like me to be able to unlock? The instructions on TWRP and Lineage's websites seem pretty straightforward, I just wanted to know if there were any known modern-day pitfalls I should be aware of before I buy a couple of these. It looks like I can get them new for around $100 apiece on Ebay.
Here are the directions I was looking at on TWRP. I found the thread on this forum for updating the bootloader and CM, but the links were both dead, so I guess I was hoping that was no longer a necessary step. Updating the bootloader and CM are not referencedon the TWRP page - if I want to install an Oreo ROM like Lineage, will I need to update the BL / CM?
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote3qualcomm.html
Thanks in advance for any advice / recommendations!
Greetings. It seems the AT&T subforum for the Galaxy S4 might be dead. I was trying to look for an up-to-date way to root this phone with Magisk, but it seems that step one isn't possible since apparently the bootloader isn't unlockable, or might not be one of the ones listed as usable. I can't check which one I have because neither adb shell nor terminal emulator recognize getprop, with the latter not allowing the punctuation. I want to see if I can use the sd card as internal storage, since apparently the Google Play app writes a lot of garbage until the available storage is only 1GB. I found that out by uninstalling its updates. What's the current modern way to use the SD card as internal storage for Android versions older than M?
Don't know what happened, but Retrial edited his post on "S4 Unified Collection!" such that the magisk rooting guide redirects to a guide for Xiaomi phones. Will that really work for the S4?
Forgive me for necro-ing but did you ever find a solution to this?

[Q] 4.3 AT&T root
Hello all, I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 that just updated to 4.3. Can someone direct me to how I can gain root access? Also, I am assuming that noone has published a way to crack the bootloader as of yet? Thanks in advance for any help...
forum.xda-developers.com
I would like to have an unroot guide for this phone to.
Basically, what I've found in this forum is that you have to "DOWNGRADE" to NB1 (from OK3), and then you can use "SAFESTRAP" of somekind(?) to get a rom, but without unlocked bootloader. I believe, this is going back to Android 4.4.2 or something. Basically, it's forcing to downgrade significantly, which beats the purpose.
I wanted an unlocked bootloader, to get newer ROMs, to increase storage. i.e. use external SD as internal. However, it seems apps don't always allow it to be installed this way, and also causes much headaches - speed is one thing, and data corruption is another etc.
In short, there is NO existing way to circumvent unlocking bootloader. Maybe a professional hacker may do it? NSA? By that point, use that cash to get a new phone. LOL.
Disappointed that this phone is still like brand new, and has plenty more life left, like, 10 more years... it keeps working.
