Need help with rooting Samsung Galaxy Core Prime

So, I'm trying to get a custom rom on an old Samsung (SM-G360T), thought it'd be a nice way to give it some more life but now I'm just pulling my hair out. There is a guide online I tried following but as soon as I get to flashing TWRP on it the issues start. So I try looking for alternate ways to add TWRP but yeah I'm just absolutely stumped and have no clue what to do.

Help with device... A137F

I've searched the Internet high and low for a twrp including xda for the galaxy A13. A137F variant not the A135. I think root is possible with magisk not sure tho and maybe gsi ? I haven't rooted and messed with recoverys in a long time. There is a few threads on xda but seem to have gone dead. Was just wondering if anyone has owned or owns this device/variant and has had any success.

Module suggest.

Hello everyone I'm looking for a magsik module that can be used to enable some security features like disabling the quick setting while the phone is locked, disabling power off when the device is locked.

Currently I'm on LOS 22.1, rooted, and I haven't these features but I remember these options were available in other custom rom.

Could anyone please suggest something?

Bootloop after modifying files

Hi. After rooting a device with Android 15, I tried to edit a file in the root partition. After I saved the changes, Root browser showed that the file size was now 0 kb. Its content was gone. I could write anything into it, but it was not saved. After rebooting the device, it got into a bootloop. The file in question is mixer_paths*.xml, which should not be critical for starting the device.

Now, the part that mystifies me is that device system is read-only, and I shouldn’t have been able to modify anything there. However, it appears that the changes were made and those were significant enough to mess with booting.

Is there any explanation for this?

An error has occurred while updating the device software. (SM-N960F)

So. Google updated their Play Integrity, and now some Google apps don't work on the custom ROM I used (Noble ROM).

To get to the point. I tried flashing the original oem firmware on my Samsung Galaxy Note 9, but it came up with an error with the bootloader: CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE:10 BINARY:9.

So I had to cancel the process, and now I'm stuck in the:

"An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software."

screen. My phone model isn't supported in the FRP Hijacker tool, as much as I can see. Odin can't do anything in this state either. Is my phone bricked?

Edit: Smart Switch doesn't work either. My phone is the SM-N960F model, so it is the Exynos variant.

Edit 2: Solved ty

Oneplus n100 bricked with improper boot.img and the right one is nowhere to be found

I downloaded it from an XDA thread that said it was already magisk patched (an n100 thread) and now it gets stuck on the metro screen until the battery drains, all the rom zips are worthless cuz they only have an .ops file in them as the biggest piece of content, and i have no clue how to open it. HEY THANKS ONEPLUS FOR NO BOOT.IMG, NO XXX.IMG, NO NOTHING, SHAME ON YOU JERKS

How to install lineageos on lg v40 thinq

i have an lg v40 thinq and have found that i can use lineage os on the phone. i have installed lineage on samsung phones very easily since there is an app that allows for installing twrp and then i can go from there. the thing with the lg v40 is that any videos i find that are suppose to help people install the os and also install twrp to the phone they dont use any programs that flash twrp to the phone they use adb and other harder to work with methods. when i look up anything else on google to see if there is an app that works the way the odin flash works i dont come up with anything other then adb and other files i have to work with. i know this sounds a little like i am not able to do this stuff or it isnt something i should be doing i just want to find an easy way like the samsung phones are with using a program to flash twrp and then us twrp to install the os. there are videos that show twrp already on the phone but they claim u need to unlock the bootloader and root the phone before installing twrp. if anyone out there can help let me know.

Unlocking redmi a3 bootloader

Ive run into some issues with my redmi a3 4/128 android 14, I enabled developer options, USB debugging and OEM Unlocking, I tried the official Mi Unlock tool but it was so glitchy I switched to a github version that was more stable, it recognized my device, but the moment I go into fastboot either manually or through the tool or even cmd, I lose connection. It either shows "No Command" on the screen or reboots into Fastboot, but the PC no longer recognizes it. Pc recognizes the phone while outside fastboot, but not inside. As soon as the phone switches to Fastboot, it disappears from the device list, and Fastboot commands fail with "waiting for device" or similar errors. I suspect the phone defaults to “Charging Only” when it reboots into Fastboot, causing the disconnect, but I am not an expert by any means. Hoping someone can help me. I even went back to the official tool to try, and that had the same result

Neo Backup doubt.

Hey guys I am using neo backup and it's been smooth so far. But I hate one thing about it is that it doesn't have an option for REPLACEMENT Backups (like if my scheduled backup runs twice, the 2nd one must replace the first one is what I mean).

I need this option cuz my SD card will be full like that lol.

Sorry for bad English.
