You need to re flash the entire stock rom thru Odon to reconfigure the other partitions and framework. Go to live . Samsung updates or sammobile and download a stock rom to your pic then run it thru Odin... This should bring you back to life man. And make sure you get the proper rom as there is the i9205 lte and i9200 non lte. Good luck

Ahh is see...no as I have the mega i9205...you need to go to the development forum and look for one that's for thr i9152 specifically. The other issue is that if the latest rom for the 5.8 is anything like the newset 6.3 rom, where you see the knox 00 knox warranty flag ect in the boot screen and download mode, then there isnt a root for it yet due to the bootloader. Idk for your model as i dont have that mega...id highly suggest you go to the dev section thi and look around you shoukd be able to find out in there. Good luck and always double check everything before modding your mega man.

Just a word of advice...don't listen to "theys" about updates, because no body ever knows anything until an updates on their device. Lol. But yes you'll almost definitely need a new root pack for 4.3 or 4.4 whatever comes first. But the downside is that it would seem that Knox and selinux will be included in all future updates, so while root may be possible once Knox kernel fuse and Knox warranty flash are included in new bootloader, it complicates things dramatically. You may want to look into reverting to an older build of 4.2.2 if possible or a custom rom vs waiting for an update that may or may not come.

Here are all the Canadian SGH-I527M Galaxy Mega 6.3 LTE stock roms to date. These roms and kernels are all odin flashable, but the roms you must unzip first to get the file inside that you need to flash in odin.

When flashing there is always a risk something may go wrong..so please make sure to make a backup just in case..even though these are stock roms. :good:
NOTE!!
All links have now been updated.
Rooting:
NOTE: The Kingo Adroid Root program i have now put in the link to their site for the program as google drive was coming up with an infected file always and could not be downloaded, but link to their site is good.
If you need your phone rooted try Kingo Android Root (newest version v1.1.8.1835) and just follow the instructions the program shows.
If you need the debrick.img file for the i527m..here is the link i527m Debrick.img and use Win32DiskImager program on your pc to put the image to your extSdCard.
Here is the tar file of the i527m debrick and should be flashable with odin but cannot guarantee it will even work and am not responsible for any thing it does to your phone..try at your own risk..file here (link removed as file was not working)
Below the attached zipped file is the .pit file for the i527m Canadian version of the mega, just unzip and .pit is inside.
I have also attached below the I527M Pit-Knox Enabled Rom zip file with the pit file inside in case the pit varies from original rom to the knox enabled rom..but i am not sure it is..but it is for download just in case. :good:
Also added below is the SuperUser v1.93 zip file that can be flashed with your custom recovery..just copy it to you internal or external sdcard and flash it.
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip
Sorry for the double posting..but it looks like the rom links do not go to were they used to, but the kernel links still work, this thread will likely have to be deleted due to the rom links are wrong now.

If you mean flashing the virgin firmware i cannot see why it would not work as the i527m is all Canadian and the firmwares also..just with different carriers is all..since you are with virgin the firmware should work fine.
This thread is key. The Rogers firmware flashed great and rooted just fine with TWRP. Question I have is has anyone installed a custom rom yet or kernal? Is there one that is preferred?

are there any custom roms available for this phone yet? got it last friday and absolutely love it.
Not that I know of as the few roms that are available here on the site are for the I9200 and i9205 and the i9152 I believe and if you have a i527m like I have..I am not sure these roms will work on the i527m version of the mega..and I have not taken a chance on trying these rom.
So I have to wait and see what comes out..at least we can have root and use CWM or TWRP recovery and can modify stuff at least.

Absolutely nothing, the battery died last night and when I got home to charge it, it just started to bootloop. When I get home I'll make a short video showing what happens. My phone is rooted, but everything is stock.

You should flash back or restore mj2...they are nearly identical in speed and every other featured identical...All it did was knox and e fuse....Both of which suck and you Def don't want. Hope you have a backup you can restore. If not I can send you a stock rooted backup you can restore. I9205 only

U should try
1. Install recovery via Odin
2. Install supersu via cwm. Make sure you copy supersu at your sdcard download this http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip
3. Install supersu sdcard
Knox are try to block all non official system app.
The for you if you install others kernel you make sure to install the original kernel

This is the first method I tried...then I tried compiling my own auto root...and lastly I decompiled the entire rom and picked thru it piece by piece. If you read thru the posts about the new firmware you'll see the explanation of the work I'm doing and what I've found about Knox...I've even managed to reset the Knox warranty counter back to 00, but can't get it to stock up on reboots. I appreciate the the lookout, but between the 2 firmwares bmj2 and the newest one is Knox and efuse. That's literally all, so I don't really recommend the update until we can figure out more thorough ways around these.
I on BMJ2 so far I have the issue is about the internal stroge.... WiFi is OK..
If you have update to the latest version after rooting flash the original recovery to get working wifi...
I read from some other thread....
From note 2 they have the wifi fix...
How I Root this Rom whit Knox bootloader and appl:
(Warning:
We must take care.
If we flash something like recovery, root... the Knox Warranty Void turn to 0x1. This flag at 0x1 is not reversible.)
1- First of all I have a appl superuser.apk (SuperSU v1.80) on extSdCard. For now I prefer this version.
2- Flash by Odin the i9205-cwm-recovery.tar.md5. Reboot.
3- Power off. On recovery by Power + Vol-up I flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip from Chainfire. Thanks @Chainfire . Root but not Busybox.
4- After reboot the SuperSU stop sometimes, it is installed on system/app and Knox not permit all access at system.
5- Then, whit Explorer from Rom I go at extSdCard and touch on superuser.apk and install it. This way the apk is installed on data/app. Root solved.
6- Now we can touch on icon SuperSU, this start and ask us to invalidate Knox. We must say Yes.
7- Installed Busybox 1.21.1 of Stericson from Play Store (touch on icon to instal it). Verified whit "Root Verifier". It's all, we have all root now.
For me on some Rom's on + 3 Knox devices, no problem. Wifi Work well.
See THIS and THIS.
I have read it and my question is how can I upgrade CML1 without flashing the new bootloder, and modem and have all worked...

That was on first leaked Rom MJ5 to N7100, not official that had 4 files. In this case if we not include BL on Odin the bootloader is not flashed. I Tried this on one N7100 and this Flash deleted all my internal Sd Card. For me No more leaked Rom's. Are whit many bugs.
But the normal Roms have only one file whit 10 to 14 modules all included and we must see what are the bootloader. Must be from 3 to 6 files. I don't know witch are. You can't use this example not usual.

Agreed. ..The example mentioned above is about a leaked mj5 for att note 2...I also have the att note 2 i317 and it's suffering the same problem as the att note 3...Knox...The simple fact is no one has been able to break thru the Knox laced bootloader as the 1024 bit encryption is more than likely unbreakble...The thing is the official Roms come with new bootloader that has knox and selinux...knox has an enctyption that basiclaly encloses the kernel. This is the lockout you see when trying to odin back from ml2 to mj2 or another previous firmware. Since thr kernel is inside the knox protocol which is inside the bootloader were not only fighting the knox but the linux and bl. Its a mess to say the least. I am working on some workarounds but its taking time.
moral of the story...DO NOT DO THE UPDATE TO ML2...ALL I BRINGS IS KNOX AND SELINUX...no speed or performance updates.

What did you do to hard brick it? If you tried to odin a previous build, just re odin the latest firmware and your fine. I have re storable system files that will bring you back to stock rooted mj5 if you need them. 5 people now have used them to recover from the knox kernel lock brick.

Why buy a **** touchscreen ? -.-
??Thank Me Up If I Helped You ??
also dont know if the previous owner had rooted,he said it was only 3mnths old
If you updated to the official kk which would be NE5 and this would be the most likely cause of the touchscreen not responding as phones with still the original screens has not responded after the NE5 update on other i527m mega..so your screen is not at fault.
Samsung should have tested the new kk update better before releasing the update.

Try flashing this rom from my post here and see if it will help you out and you must unpack it first and then flash with odin..and i believe this rom was made with the rogers rom, but if you did receive the new KK NE5 update then this will not likely work, but it will not harm the phone..worth a try as i use this rom in certain situations also to get back and it works great.

couldnt go to your link,browser said forbidden?
can I root this?or custom rom?any way to be useable again?thanks(also I am new to all of this so a guide would be good)
found this?
If the downgrade was from the leaked 4.4.2,then this is probably because this repackaged and leaked firmware did not have a locked bootloader.
The officially released India 4.4.2 may cause more problems with downgrading - but we will have to wait and see if it contains a locked bootloader.
I didn't downgrade from leaked 4.4.2... My downgrade from official 4.4.2 DBT was also successfully in spite of new BL. I mean, didn't change BL with downgrade, just the firmware via Odin. And luckily the new BL from 4.4.2 works fine with firmware 4.1.2... that's what I wanted to inform about, because many think that it will not work, but it does! (At least in 3 oder 4 cases with german firmware.)
There is always a risk, yes, but maybe, somebody doesn't like 4.4.2 just as me and needs an idea to go back without root, so that's the answer I want to give.

Ooops..sorry about the link as somehow it was set to private, i have now corrected it and will put link here also
ROOT_JDQ39.I527MVLUBNA3.tar
And check my post here as it will help you in the flashing using odin and all .tar files are flashed this way, the only difference when flashing a recovery is you uncheck the reboot box and with other .tar files for roms etc. you check that reboot box, but everytime odin is restarted the reboot box will be checked already..let me know how this all goes with that rom above that i put a link to and the other stuff as all the custom roms in this mega section by @Silesh.Nair can be flashed and these are all the custom roms i tested so far that work on the i527m mega, but they all work even the newer ones and the custom roms i tried can be seen in this thread

[SOLVED]Galaxy Core Prime SM-G360T1(MetroPCS) HELP!

In my attempts to root this device my boot was damaged. I can get into stock recovery and download mod but of course I can not find any roms including the stock for this device. Can someone PLEASE send me there boot.img. If you have the full stock rom for this model SM-G360T1, that would be awesome too. THX!

Ok so I should have more faith in myself. So by the end of my nightmare I messed up my boot AND my recovery and could only get into download mode. On a hunch I got ahold of the stock rom for the SM-G360T which is the T-Mobile version of this phone and being as they run on the same network(Same company now) the boot.img and recovery.img WORK ON THIS MODEL. Im back in my phone and everything is running perfect. So for those out there that know WAY more about making roots and roms you might be able to use this stock rom to finally root this monster. Or at least if you soft brick your device you can use these files to get back into your phone until we are able to get the stock rom for this phone. The link to the stock rom for the SM-G360T is below. Hope we get a root for this phone soon. THX!
Im a noob poster on Xda so I cant link it but just go to sammobile.com and search for SM-G360T and make sure you sign up and activate ur account its free you just have to do that or the download link is broke. Have fun.
Did you have to do any unlocking?
im currently downloading the tmobile sm-g360t image( i also have the metro sm-ge360t1) which i had soft bricked by flashing a root for the h* model. I just wanted to know after odin the tmobile imagine were you just able to pop in you're metro im and go? thanx

Ya bro I did the extact same thing with the H root. Just put the boot.img in a tar and flash it like u did the H and it will fix it. You might get a security message after but u can just go to Kies and update back to stock if you dont mind losing all your data. Cheers.
The whole rom isn't tested

I extracted just the boot.img and made my own tar to flash just the kernel, which was the problem. Flashing the whole rom isn't what you need to do in this case. Just make a mental note that you can you use the boot.img and recovery.img to get back into android.
Hello this is androidadmirer
i recently bought a samsung galaxy core prime from metro pcs
out of the box lolipop 5.1.1
i have an idea how to break this phone loose
but i need some input from you all to see if i'm wrong or if this is possible
so my plan is to use odin to flash the samsung core sm-360hu version firmware and they have a working twrp recovery
then make a rom with the t mobile firmware and insert su in bin and xbin (the t mobile firmware works perfect because it's the same network and same android 5.1.1 o.s
this sounds really good in theory but i don't know if i am totally right
can someone chime in on this please
any help will be very appriciated
Let me know

Let me know if that custom recovery works if not u can use the sm-g360t (t-mobile) to get back though if I remember right the phone has to be rooted for twrp to work right not sure....also you should be able to get the stock rom from smart switch if you force the update that way you have the rom that was made for it as a base...I will try and get the rom and post it I was just checking and there is an update. Let me know

im gonna try and flash the galaxy grand prime rom and then use odin to flash a recovery on it because its only 4.4.4 so my thought was to flash the "downgraded 4.4.4" then flash the twrp and then make a rom from the t mobile odin firmware
where is the link? thanks

SM-G360T1 "boot.img" And "recovery.img" Files
I just uploaded the "boot.img" and "recovery.img" from the latest stock update for the SM-G360T1 on this thread here if anyone needs it in the future.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62457159&postcount=42
EDIT: Updated this post today with ODIN flashable boot and recovery files. Be sure to read the whole post before flashing. Thanks!
I tried the F, H, & "lte" versions firmware, still no positive results, I keep having to flash back to the stock boot.img and recovery.img that bogarty has just linked above.... we need to find a way to unlock this bootloader on this devicez firmware... TWRP seems so close to working.
Huh?
TEFjLONjDON said:
Ok so Unlocking the Phone for use on other carriers is not the same as unlocking the bootloader. thank fully our bootloader is not locked... But it is always a good idea to completely free your device.. SO
As long as you own your device out-right and it was purchased >90 days ago, then Metro cant say no.
This post is just for those that don't already know, (make sure you do this first before you flash a recovery or try a root method)
The Samsung Galaxy Core Prime comes locked from Metropcs by default. But after you buy it and its yours..
just call them @ (+1-888-8METRO8) or (1-888-863-8768)
1. Ask for tech support
2. Ask for the unlock code,
3. Tell them you leaving the carrier.. or the country.. and they will give you the unlock codes (plural 2 codes one for the Device and the other for the Sim card if you say your leaving the country).
4. Put in the code and your good to go..
PS... Its your device.. Bought and payed for...... They really can't say NO..........

so i did the root on my phone.... Can i still unlock my phone?
send from hdx 7 using tapatalk
I didnt found a way to unlock my sm-g360t1, i made the root and tryed several boxes that told me "device unlocked" but wasnt true. Have to pay 24 bucks online to whitelist imei and unlock it trought the device unlock app. I flashed the stock rom from sammobile before but maybe works with the rooted phone too. Problem solved for me
so i got the frp message. odin flashed stock recovery and boot now it gets stuck on the metro pcs screen..... FML can anyone help me fix this problem ?
I had to flash the stock from sammobile SM-G360T1 is what you have to search for then start over but make sure the oem unlock is switched to in that causes the frp (factory reset protection)
---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------
Or just wait If I remember correctly it took my phone several minutes to boot after flashing stock

SM-G360AZ information...

I (somehow) managed to achieve root privaliges on my Galaxy Core Prime Cricket variant (SM-G360AZ) this morning. Since I've had this device, I've noticed there is little to no information available on, well...anywhere. Is anyone aware of any working custom recoveries that are available for this device? I am a dedicated flashaholic and I would like to know if there are...before this phone ends up in GCP heaven...lol thanks...
