Help Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime bricked without usb debugging.

yea. but they wont give me the serial number. apparently the phone was activated before my friend got it, and he hasn't been very truthful with where he got it from. I need the serial to use the emergency recovery..

ah i see. i need the pit file to repartition the phone. is it at all possible to erase everything on the partition and install everything manually?
 
Ok, here's the deal, MetroPCS firmware (SM-g530T1) has not been officially released. The threads I have seen indicate that you can use the firmware for the T-Mobile variant. However, there appears to be a difference in the Partition Information Table (PIT) which has caused some problems.
This link is for an original MetroPCS firmware...PIT included. Use caution. The source is not XDA Developers.

As I figured this ended up being phoney.
