Then I suggest you walk away and forget about the whole thing. If you really find it that hard then don't do it. All the people I know that go ita really hard end up bricking the device. Rooting is easy but yes bootloader unlock is very dangerous and by the sounds of things you are one person who needs to stay well away from the from that area. If this is the only device you have and can't afford another one then stop. But if you can risk it and buy a new one then carry on by all means but if something goes wrong don't go crying to everyone else trying to fix your phone as you have been warned the risks involved. They are
Bricking (killing) the device.
Breaking certain sections of the Rom or even device.
Over heating CPU
Lockups and reboots
Battery drain
Void warranty
Void insurance (not all)
Short curcuiting
Plus many more.
I just suggest just sticking to rooting ans stay away from the bootloader.
Use DooMLoRDs ZergRush easy rooting tool kit in the development section. That will root it and allow you to remove bloatware and more.

P.S. I'm not trying to be nasty. I'm just being honest and letting you know and telling you my thoughts. Read up more about it and learn a bit more before rushing into things like this as like I said. I have seen many brick their devices through not knowing what they are doing or what it does. Even developers have bricked there devices. Talk to DooMLoRD and he will explain more

Recently, i experienced the drama of having a hard bricked phone. Its a real headache, because you know that you wasted money into a useless brick, and if you send it to the assistence, you arent going have your cell phone for weeks, or even months. So, maybe you already heard those advices, but you need to make sure you never will never commit such an error.
Im not talking that root may damage your phone. If you do it right, it will not. But what can brick your phone is your attitude after root. Flash roms or kernels can brick your phone, but only using avast anti thief root options can not. Have this in mind.
1- NEVER (repeating, never) flash something that ISNT for your phone. It may be to the HNA-G7533339LS, but if you flash it on the HNA-G7533339 without those LS, you can get into touble. The firmware were for GT-S7500, but i flashed it in a GT-S7500L. Result: Brick
2- Dont think that if you have Clockworkmod backup or something like that, you cant brick anyway. If your bootloader gets corrupted, nothing will save you. Nothing. And you may corrupt it by flashing roms the wrong way.
3- Read the comments at the ROM that you are going flash, at less. Or make a search at Google. It may save your ass. Recently, lots of Galaxy S II owners had trouble with a leaked ICS kernel, and they bricked their phones, so read before doing ****.
4- I dont recommend flashing homemade custom roms or flashing untested ROMs, but someone needs to be the first. Only do this if you are really sure of what you are doing.
5- Asking dont hurts. If you are uncertain, ask. Its the best way to avoid problems.
6- For security reasons, always flash having a recently charged cell phone, seated on something, to avoid a falling smartphone. Also, if flashing throught ODIN, its preferable using a charged notebook.
7- Have a usb jig at your home. It may save you at some cases. You can buy one at www.dealextreme.com , or make your own.
8- And the last, after a hard brick, dont think your game is over. If you are under warranty, and your cell phone is truly bricked, send it to a assistance, and play dumb, like "I dont know what happened, but it turned off and isnt rebooting anyway". It isnt right to lie, but it may be necessary, for serious. Thay arent going cover a custom flashed phone. If it isnt under warranty, find someone with a riff box at your city. It may fix your phone.
I hope those advices can help you to avoid headaches.And know that Im not saying "dont flash roms". They may wonderfully boost your phone, and give it a new face. Only be sure of what you are doing Sorry by my bad english (it isnt my native language) , and bye!

Hey Thanks a lot for this.. I really needed this.. if it is possible then please help me with my doubts...
OK.. I will directly get to the point... I want to do "something" for my phone, the Galaxy S Advance... like create a custom Kernel or a ROM for this device... Now I'm a total "newbie" in all these.. so this will be my first time... now my question is: Which will be easier and SAFER to make; a custom ROM or a kernel?... Because I will obviously be the first one to try my own creation so like please tell me which one will be safer for me to try out? So that even if I do something wrong - I will still be able to fix it without spending any money on Repairing from shops...

If it's your first time and you don't know a lot about these, the safer(and easier) would be, for sure, trying to create a custom ROM. A kernel requires lots of knowledge, you need to compile things, code, make magic.... It's hard and dangerous, cause it's the bridge between firmware and hardware. If something go wrong, you are gonna have a bad time. But the rom creation process is much more easy, there are lots of tutorials, and if u know how to use Linux there is even a tool called dsxda kitchen(or something like that). The chances of bricking are smaller(but are still present) and it usually makes the device better.
So, if u are really need it, first get experience creating a ROM. Only think about kernels later.
Hope I helped, and good luck :thumbup:

Useful video for newbies
I've uploaded one video on YouTube last January, that should help beginners what to do, as well as read in the text step by step and translate it (many people who visit this forum don't understand very well english, so they can copy&paste it into their translators). Here is the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NXBN9Z63TY
Last January I've read in different forums that many people had issues with "E: signature verification failed" even after successful root, as sometimes they just rooted but didn't have CWM recovery yet.
There were no good explainations how to solve it so I did that video, on the example of Samsung Tab 2 GT-P5110.
The video has helped many people, meanwhile it's clicked nearly 50K times....
Cheers!
My Micromax Bolt Q370 doesn't have any custom recovery available. But I am rooted, Xposed Installed. (Installed using terminal), Dolby Atmos installed (Installed through Flashfire).
Yeah, but I soft bricked it many times (6 times) and have to fix it in service centre.
Now I know what's healthy for my phone, and what bricks my phone. Now I'm stopped playing with root apps, until somebody make a custom recovery for my phone.

yet the lineage OS devs STRONGLY advise AGAINST me doing this since i dont know what im doing, so how tf is this easier 0.0 (as my device is unsupported)
Hi, im totally new to this kind of things, and i hope you can help me. I have searched for many tutorials for my device, and found a lot. The most recommended solution was to get the cf autoroot file and do the odin stuff, i think you know what i mean. But before i start on a tutorial, i have gone to the official chainfire site and theres the sentence "if you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device".
The thing is, most of the tutorials who recommended chainfire doesnt say a thing about the bootloaders, and the others have something like "after you have root acces with cf, you can unlock the bootloader by...". To be honest, i dont know exactly if my bootloader is locked. The servicenumber doesnt work. My Tab is from Telekom (germamy) and show a branding when turn it on.
So what should i do? Whats the savest way to get my tab rooted? What are the facts on this, apart from my bad englisch? Thanks for reading, hope you can help!
Cant anybody help?
Hi guys,
is there any really step by step for dummies guide, where i can learn exactly how to upgrade to 6.0.1 using Odin? I've googled a lot, and havent found anything usable for unexperienced user like me. There are a lot guides, but never with the EXACT files you need and exactly where to put them in Odin. I really dont want to brick my phone, so i need that and I think a lot of other users would appreciate it as well.
Please help

I suggest backing up internal Storage, My whole internal SD and Data was deleted after MM update, when my phone rebooted with was like new out the box all my pictures videos and data was GONE!!!! 100 gigs worth just gone.... to this day I still cant believe it... I would never ever purchase another phone with internal memory.... with SD I always remove it before update....
Greetings, people of the XDA forums! I am Brazilian Slaughter, some anonymous brazilian from northern Brazil.
I am the owner of a Samsung Galaxy Core Plus (SM-G3502T) smartphone, android jellybean.
Lately, my smartphone has been getting in my nerves with its slowness. A few months ago, I have decided to root it. Someone somewhere in the internet has suggested me to root and install Cyanogen, because the default samsung interface is slow crap and putting Cyanogen would make it faster.
I went researching these days, and found that Cyanogen is dead, LineageOS is in its place. But, searching and asking, i found out that LineageOS has no official support for my phone. A guy in reddit did tell me there was a unnoficial build for my phone and I should ask here.
So, here I am. I got my files backuped already. I plan on rooting it and installing a new ROM. But...
1. Which is the best root program? I've heard of Kingroot, but people told me its shady chinese ****, so I should go with SuperSu, Xposed or another program (something with magic whose name I forget).
2. Which is the best rom to install? Is there a unnoficial build of LineageOS for my device? Is it worth it? Should I install something else? If so, what?
(is this the right section? I hope it is)
Thank you for the help!
You can't put anything custom (no Custom Recovery and no Custom ROM) on the SM-G3502T, because it has a locked bootloader (I wrote something here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/samsung-galaxy-core-plus-trend-3-t3524989 )
That means in 1) that you can't flash SuperSU, Xposed or Magisk (you probably meant that) and 2) is completely impossible
You may be able to root it (can't say how, I don't have this phone, I heard that vRoot, Kingoroot or Framaroot should work though, there is a script too which replaces it with SuperSU).
If you can't root the phone (or fail somewhere and it is bricked), get the stock firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/ and install it through ODIN (If you need I can send you a few links on how to do that)
EDIT: Added link
Thank you, Tim Schumi! This post was very informative!
I better not risk rooting it for now, learn more. I think I know someone who might get it done. I might get a new cellphone soon - or better saying, mom might get a new cellphone soon, and I will get hers'. Once I have a backup I can risk it freely.
This is a good phone, but it has some annoying useless **** it totally does not need, you know?

You can always flash back your Stock ROM via Odin (unless you really manage to overwrite something like the bootloader). But yeah, you better wait until you have another phone so you can try stuff with this one.
