I finally got the nerve to root my Metro PCS Core Prime phone. I used Odin and TWRP and SuperSu.
Now the phone will only boot as far as the Metro PCS screen, it won't go past it and I can't shut it off unless I remove the battery. Not very handy eh?
I wanted to make a backup using TWRP but I saw no way to choose where the backup(s) would go. I was aiming for the SD card but that wasn't a choice. Plus the TWRP I got was version 2.8.7.0 it was all I could find and I wasn't even sure it would work.
I ran the SuperSu zip file and it tells me it's installed ok but since I cant get past the welcome screen I can't tell if the bleeding thing was successfully rooted or not.
It sure is anything but handy to use the 3 finer salute to get to TWRP <sigh> maybe it's great once everything is working. Since there is no audio on bootup I don't even know if all the apps are even there anymore. Root Check was installed but of course I can't see it.
Thank you all in advance, this is all new to me so I am in uncharted waters. How to get out of this hole I dug?
