Help I have a very serious problem that i think no one can solve.

[Android Question]

hi, i bought a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, everything is working fine except it's memory, it's internal storage is just 60 MB and main Storage is just 16 MB so i have to use a SD card and install my apps in it. I wiped data but everytime i get 10 mb internal memory free out of 60 MB. if i can get about 25 mb free it will work fine but i have to uninstall some system apps in order to do that i have to root my device but odin mode is not working at all. i have installed adb and i can connect my device through usb and working fine. i used some rooting apps like kingroot, vroot, iroot both in pc and the device itself but still i can't root my devce.

Can you give me any way to root my device without odin mode and increase my iternal storage.
Is there any way to root device with recovery mode.

I have tried about 100 methods but still i can't root it.

Please Help Me!!!

Can you take a screenshot of your internal storage? Galaxy Grand Prime have 8gb of internal storage so I'm having a hard time believing that its only have that much unless you already filled it up with a lot of stuffs and with that you're now looking for a method to increase your internal storage via rooting which is impossible.

Unless it's a knock-off, and there's something funky going on with internal storage, like it really is only 60MB free, and the firmware has been doctored to lie about it. That has been documented with counterfeit Samsungs before.

Can you confirm the kernel version string, specifically if it has "KST" and not "CST" in the build date and time. Just in case it's a fake. You'll find it in, settings > about device.

Storage Truth should give us a better idea of what's going on here with your phone's memory.

Yeah i know it's a fake phone because i bought it for $30 but everything is working fine i can play very serious games and i can use it's 3g i mean everythings i as real as a real phone but i need to root it to use sd card as an internal storage. do you know any way to root it with recovery mode or anything except odin mode???

 

[mikedt]

Well if it's a fake you've got, forget anything to do with Odin, because it's NOT a Samsung, it's Chinese.

You could try things like Framaroot.

Do at your own risk! We are not responsible for your device!

There's no definitive information available for fakes, so if rooting goes wrong, and irreparably damages the firmware or even bricks the device, you'll be buying a new phone.

i don't care if device bricks because it's very cheap if i can root it, i can use it as a real device, i like it's performance it's excactly like a real samsung galaxy, i have tried framaroot it doesn't work.

 

[AMOCO]

You could try towelroot too.

 

[faisal118]

I tried that thing as well but didn't work!

 

[faisal118]

It's an Android Phone and i know every android is Rootable but i don't know how to do it. it's android version is 4.4.4 and it's ram is 2gb

 

[mikedt]

Well actually every Android is potentially rootable, by various methods, and if you had a real Samsung Core Prime and NOT a cheapo fake from an unknown manuacturer, you might have had it done by now, using proven known methods and tools, like Odin. But given what you've got, good luck, you're own your own, that's it...end of!

Next question.... Can you read and understand technical Chinese and use Baidu?

Mike ...your Guide to Chinese Androids.

 

[faisal118]

no i don't understand chinese

Could always try one of the one click root apps like kingroot. May not work and may brick, but as said above, not even knowing the real manufacturer or how it is made will prove difficult to find a working way as there are no developers with it working on exploits etc.

I think that's it for this thread. It's like playing guessing games with you. The kernel version *may* provide a clue as to the identity of the device but you haven't provided this. You appear to have tried all one click root apps so there's little else that can be done.

The OP didn't even tell it was a phoney, and not a real Samsung at the start. Which would have saved some time I think. And I had ideas it could be a counterfeit.

Anyway I'm done here...

bye..have fun.

Screenshots requested, none posted. Kernel version requested, not provided. It's like pulling teeth so "I'm out"

Chainfire might have a generic root method

look at these from search

[iowabowtech]

You might give flashfire a look. Or if it's a clone, the bootloader may come unlocked or unlockable unlike a true Samsung. If so, you may be able to get by with a systemless root alone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3

The kernel build date probably means it's unrootable using most of the traditional methods, sorry. Kingoroot and framaroot used exploits which worked on devices with a kernel build date prior to June 2014.

I rarely suggest it as it loads your phone with crapware, installs its own version of SuperUser and , but there are other tools you could try. I would strongly advise against, but it depends on how desperate you are to root?

 

[faisal118]

I am not desperate. I have rooted many devices but it's the first time that i am facing a challenge and i want to complete this challenge.

Here are some photos of this device if you don't have a third eye you will not know that it's a clone!!

 

[faisal118]

Here is photo of internal storage:

Go to the play store and download an app called Storage Truth. Then let us know what storage information it gives you.
