Core Prime G360T(5.1.1) soft brick TWRP issue My main objective is to root the phone; as expected from an android newb. I bricked by phone, though this is a bit complicated than the usual.

Here's what I did. 
1. Apply Kingroot One-click root (from pc) 
2. Installed SuperSU = [failed to update]
-- checked (anyway) root from Root Checker = FAIL


Tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g360t1-5-1-1-t3203522
-- checked  root from Root Checker = FAIL
Tried installing TWRP (Odin method)
(here's where things get messy)


a. Download mode (Vol up + home + pwr) goes straight to TWRP recovery
BUT
b. TWRP touchscreen controls do not work.

any solutions guys? I'd appreciate all the help! (And I'm also kinda desperate)
Touch is not working in the official TWRP release for Galaxy Core Prime. Current solution is to install modified TWRP for G360T1, the MetroPCS variant. Find it here. You should still be able to get into download mode again and Odin flash new TWRP.
