SM-S920L (Straight Talk[Verizon]) Galaxy Grand Prime 5.0.2

hondais1 · Nov 19, 2015

Since there is absolutely ZERO info about this cell, I think those of us should share little what we have. Im uploading a STOCK KERNEL and STOCK RECOVERY file using the FLASHIFY.apk. I am rooted using KINGROOT! The STOCK rom is 5.0.2!

Excellent. The only other person besides myself in the world with this variant. I have posted the the boot.img,recovery.img, and build.prop in another thread to have a custom recovery made, but havent heard anything back yet.

I too am having an issue finding anything for this phone. Not to tech savvy myself but I'm sure something will come soon. Black Friday at Walmart sold a ton of these phones so I'm sure it won't be long.

I too snagged this phone at Walmart on Black Thursday right after a hearty meal of turkey and all the fixin's lol. So far, all I've been able to really accomplish on this device is to root it with KingRoot, replace KingRoot with SuperSU and enable tethering. We really do need a custom recovery for this variant. A permissive kernel would be nice too.

I bought one of these phones from black Friday online from Wal-mart the Straight Talk model but online it shows S920C instead of S920L.... Does anyone know the difference?

I don't have the device in hand yet, should be here by the 4th to verify the model number. I posted the link though.

Update

I have a SM-S920L(As screenshot above) and i bought from Best buy and it is locked to Tracfone. I called to cell representative and he told me that it can be unlock after 1 year of use.

I've read somewhere that in order to update you have to get a new SIM card from Straight talk. I myself haven't test this theory so if anyone is able to update after doing so, please post your results for the rest of us.

I read the same just was wondering if there was another way thanks for the info.

If you do find another way let us know. Seems like a pain just to get an update.

DanHutchins · Dec 2, 2015

So I talked to straight talk and they said that the ota issue don't qualify for a sim replacement. Not to sure how the other people got there's but they refuse to send me one. I will be doing more research to find another way. They also claim that 5.0.2 is the latest version for the phone but the others that have had the sim replaced have 5.1.1

bfoos · Dec 2, 2015

I haven't seen mention of any SM-S920L's on 5.1.1.

This variant is the LTE version. In other words, it's already unlocked. You should be able to put pretty much any SIM in.

Does this mean that LTE phones are unlocked? I always thought it was just a type of 4g just a bit faster

After further research I have found that 5.0.2 is the latest for the phone so I am assuming that the others that had this and claim it was fixed with new sim was probably just the timing of the update being available and was only to 5.0.2.

After getting the phone in hand it's indeed a S920L and not a S920C as shown on the Wal-Mart website

Is there anyway to change the APN settings on this phone? Just got it today and i am unable to get picture messages from people i was previously getting them from with my old phone/sim. Thanks!

If its a straight talk phone you should be able to go to the Straight Talk website and get the APN APN or VPN whatever you need other than that I don't know

bfoos · Dec 3, 2015

Nope, no way to change it. It's a CDMA/LTE phone on Verizon Wireless.

I have to say this is an awesome phone. I'm using straight talk with TWRP Recovery and Turbos Rom
