Hi I'm new have pity on me,
I have a phone that is new and doesn't appear on the list of devices on this forum. I would like to contribute to the effort to gain root on my phone. I would be willing to test anything that anyone writes for this device or alternatively if someone can give me some help getting started I would be happy to try writing my own.
My phone is a SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND PRIME SM-G530W. [Contact me for link if you can't find one as I can't post links yet]
Android: 5.1.1
Kernel: 3.10.x
This is not supported by any of the models listed on CF-Auto-Root @ [Contact me for link] nor apparently anywhere else on the internet. This is a different model and should not be confused with the SM-G530H or SM-G5306W or anything else.
I have the original firmware acquired from [Contact me for link] and can restore as necessary. I don't care about warranty, I've probably already voided it. As I am a beginner if there is some kind of safety that I might trip and completely wreck my phone please tell me .
I am happy to provide any and all additional info.
Thanks

Hi, your particular variant, the G530W is of interest to the community due to 5.1.1. Okay, for us to help you out we need hardware specs and all. So go to play store and download this app called Samsung Phone Info and open it. Post screenshots of all the information pages shown there, especially Hardware. Once we know your hardware the community can suggest root solutions to you.
To take a screenshot you can hold power and home key at once.
Thank you and awaiting the screenshots.

OK. I'll follow that thread too and see if I can apply anything from it. I think I have an original firmware already though. Don't know if it is the same thing they are trying to get for the G530T though ... it's and .md5 file for odin.

I know, the G530W is probably sprint or Verizon version of the device.
I'm trying to port this firmware to G530H and F models

I am using Eastlink (in Canada). So if it is Sprint or Verizon ... I can neither confirm nor deny The firmware page does list about 10 different providers. Don't know which it would have come from first though.
Enlighten me oh Guru of the Smartphone rooting realm.

The other one is also serious.
You should stop blaming. Cause diplicating or posting similar threads without event searching is against forum rules.

Hi Nonta. My apologies for the misunderstanding. I realize that these two threads must be similar because you know more than me and you have stated that they are similar. I simply have no idea how they are similar and would like to know if you have the time to enlighten me. I understand that this may be like trying to explain the colour blue to a blind man but I hope that you will take the time. I did search to find similar threads but I didn't find anything that made sense as similar to me.
Thanks,
Marlen

No problem,
The fact that makes both threads similar is that both are talking about "Rooting a model of Grand Prime on Lollipop".
Neither SM-G530T nor SM-G530W are supported by CF-Root.
I'm working on this since long time, but I don't have the device and that slows down my development on the phone.
Take a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/verizon-att-samsung-note-5-knox-root-t3183641 the Note 5 and S6 Edge + have Lollipop 5.1.1 and it looks like rooting the Verizon and AT&T versions on them is likely impossible (at least right now).
Keep an eye on this thread, if they come with a workaround, you probably can root yours using this same workaround.
Cool! I didn't realize that rooting was Android version specific. I though it had more to do with the hardware. I'll follow the link you mentioned. If you have anything you would like to try I am happy to test out for you.
Keep us Posted!
As I am looking for the solution to this device, Galaxy Grand Prime Sm-G530W CAD version.
I am sure others are watching this post, I've been watching and I've been watching the added linked post's with no really understanding of how the other post's relate to this one besides of course figuring out Lollipop 5.1.1.
I have the understanding that rooting these systems entails bypassing KNOX and the Bootloader. Now considering the OS version is as important as the Knox, without figuring out how to root these there won't be a solution to this device. With this device, it is important to have the proper version for the SM-G530W or the phone can be Bricked.
Please keep us up-to-date with this forum, as I'm sure others are searching for the same solution on how to root these phones. It's horrible having this as my new phone and not able to access my root features.
Hey y'all,
kernel-root-root-sm-g530t-5-1-1-t3203476
This did root my SM-G530W but I am not certain if there are any security concerns etc. Is the code safe, compromised, sending data to ISIS ?
Maybe someone out there can dissect etc and confirm the safety of this kernel mod?
But it certainly DID root the SM-G530W and yes that is a W
P.S. Sorry ShinySide for expressing my uncertainty over the security of your kernel mod. I spoke before I realized that you are a senior member and have contributed greatly to the cause. I encourage others to Donate so ShinySide can continue helping us with these things. :fingers-crossed:
I tried it and it worked. I did have to do an extra battery take out restart.
You can successfully root SM-G530W with kingroot. THIS WILL NOT TRIP KNOX!!!!!
Only downside is that you can not use SuperSu. You are forced to use their Kingroot program.
I happened to root with kingroot and when I rebooted my phone, KNOX/bootloader detected the su binaries and refused to boot, so I had to re-image my phone. use with extreme caution. using Bell Canada version of Samsung G530W

Hello. I bought a S5 from Ebay for Boost Mobile. Problem is that it has the Samsung Activation Lock still on. Ive done the searches all over the net and have come across URL="/watch?v=EaN13PiQbe0 ====Video"]/watch?v=EaN13PiQbe0 ====Video. I understand most of it but I can't find a workaround for the "findmymobile.samsung.com" part. Is there a way to do it on a S5. Don't Chastise Me. Im Not Nixon. I am not a crook. I paid for a phone with a clean ESN(I checked) and dont want to be stuck with a paperweight. Thanks in advance.
Searching for the S5 tutorial would have been better than the S6 ones lol

I have a few questions for anyone familiar with the Samsung Galaxy J series, specifically the J3. I have virgin mobile, and after a long time suffering with their HTC Desire 510, I want to upgrade, and not wanting to spend $400 on a galaxy S5 , the J3 seems the next best phone to get. However, as I've grown used to having a rooted phone and customizing my phone as much as I want, etc, I want to make sure my next phone can be rooted, and has support for custom ROM's, etc.
The main thing that could help me with my decision would be some guidance as to whether other versions, the J2, J5, J7, etc, that are present here would be potentially compatible with the J3, or if I'm out of luck and should consider other options if rooting is a necessity for me.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Anyone?
I'm sure you can root it.
I'm using j5 and it took me like 15 minutes of reading and about an hour /including downloading and setting up all the things /for the root.
I just want to say that you would need to be prepared to wait until someone make a custom Rom for it.

Thats what I was thinking. I figure that rooting it (hopefully) is similar to the other J series. As long as its rooted, wouldn't I be able to (even w/o custom rom) debloat/customize/etc it with various root tools, apps2sd, etc? Or are those dependent on having a custom rom? On the only phone I've rooted so far (htc desire 510) I didn't really spend any time with stock rom when I rooted, instead immediately flashing Nonsense rom, so I'm not sure what limitations keeping stock rom comes with when rooted.
Thank you for the reply! It gives me a bit of hope at least.
I'm not really familiar with the device. As I said before I have a j5. According to the applications that you mentioned I think that it would be possible to get and install them. But rooting isn't quantum mechanics. There are some apps that you could easily install on almost any device and get the root privileges. For example kingroot I am sure you can find others. I usually root my devices trough pc.I recommend you to take some time before jumping on the first option that comes up as a possible solution.
According to changing the stock Rom. I don't known how developed is that treat so.. Again read here and there about it.
GL!
Let me know if I helped by hitting the thumb up
I dont think permanent root is going to be possible until a working twrp is made so that you can flash supersu. I know that sux, I wanted to get one for my wife because she broke the screen on her vm s3. But without root and the ability to get unlimited hotspot... nope. I asked a dev ( lrs121) if he would port twrp to it. He said he would try if I had the phone and could get him the necessary files from it. Look in the sprint s3 section under twrp for virgin and boost s3. He is a great dev.
Actually far as I can say there are 2 twrp options. you just have to read more

Sorry i was on the phone while traveling. I`ve mistaken that it was about the j5 ( like mine device) and for that especially i had tried 2 working options up to now for twrp. but i`m pretty sure you can find tutorials or you can even simply DL the twrp /for example/ 3 install it as an apk and than you if it stuck just would need to DL odin for your PC and than strictly follow the steps / install /unzip odin, connect device , go into DL mode and flash it with the stock ROM which you can find in sammobile /.com i guess/ ?

I have an AT&T S7 Edge and wanted to get rid of the bloatware also. I installed this ROM and all is working great. I didn't root device but I have no bloatware. It also get's OTA updates quick.

Not really difficult. Need a special version of odin, modded by someone who goes by the alias Prince Comey. Then must rught click on the exe file in winblowz and select 'run as administrator'.
The non-modded versions will error out and won't complete the flashing process. Must be careful, and be sure that you are are flashing the correct files for your particular phone. I rooted my AT&T S7 Edge by flashing just one file.
The trickiest part is finding the files for your variant, whether it's AT&T, Verizon, or other. Also must install the usb driver for Samsung and the adb driver, both on your windows computer.

There is no engineering bootloader available for Oreo yet, so you will have to drop back to Nougat. From there, you can either go with AT&T firmware or the Unlocked firmware, depending on how badly you want WiFi calling and VoLTE. (If you aren't an AT&T customer, this is a really easy call).
Just going with the U firmware will remove the vast majority of the bloat right out of the box. You can root it and get the rest, but I haven't found it to be worth the effort, as the U firmware is pretty good as it is.

Samsung S7 edge and S7 flat variants do not allow TWRP to remain installed upon rebooting. There are ways to still root with it however. I found a post on X.D.A. that states SM-G935A ( AT&T variant of the 7s Edge ) runs fine after flashing the SM-G935U firmware. I had flashed it without issues myself, however I never tested it before running across the comboRom that I was originally looking for. Just place all 5 files in the correct positions ( BL,AP,CP,CSC,USER) of Odin. If Odin is only allowing you to 4 spots to flash. You need to use a different version of Odin. I used the "patched" version of Odin. Unsure if that is one and the same as the prince version.
S7 Edge while 'rooted' at least by the way I had rooted them. Runs very very HOT and lags to the point of annoyance.
So if you 'think' you need to root your phone. Make sure you need to first and fore most because was a back and forth headache to root. make changes, then unroot. then test. then root again. then test agian, then unroot.. etc.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/development/easyroot-unroot-t3859762
that link is for bootloader V4 to root.
When flashing SU make sure you use the system version and not the system-less version if you follow the instructions for OREO (Android version 8 ). The instructions I originally followed never stated that aspect and I had gone in circles for an hour until i discovered the problem.
Verizon variant had a few different ways to root/un-root, with different walk-thrus of which I 'think' would work with different carriers. Just instead of using the S935V firmware, You would just need to use your carriers firmware while flashing it with Odin but I could be wrong so please double check the comments of whichever way you choose to root your phone for someone else with similar question/concerns as yours.
If you had been using your phone after the messages were deleted ( especially if its been awhile since you deleted them ) then you are likely S.O.L. However if it's worth the time spent for you to try, then it's worth the effort to try.

This thread is only 1 page long with 10 previous posts before yours. Out of those 10 posts, 3-4 of them describes what you're seeking...
Guessing you saw the threads title and bcuz of that you clicked on it and asked your question. Did it ever dawn on you that your question is nearly identical to the title of this thread? This is how forums work, if a threads subject is similar to the subject that you're interested in then, the thread may contain your answer. Next, is where quite a few folks seem to really struggle, sort of like yourself but it's ok, everyone was new once. This is where you'd want to pay close attention, really concentrate and use every bit of brain power to focus on this next step. I'm going to reiterate, just in case I lost ya: You just located a thread that it's title is very similar to a question that you have (you did a good job searching & your instincts to click/open it are on point, well done). A threads title tells you that the discussion(s) inside there relate to that topic. Upon opening the thread, you'll see rectangles vertically aligned, when members add thoughts or ideas to the topic, they're separated by the rectangles. They're arranged in chronological order the top being the first, the most recent or latest entry being the bottom. And thats how forums like this one and many others work. Pretty simple idea, I think, yet its highly effective.
Now, with this knowledge, Im sure your already 10 steps ahead of me, but I'll mention anyway for anyone else. To fully utilize the resourceful contents here, as it contains vast amounts of invaluable info, one must simply READ and COMPREHEND info that pertains to the subject that brought you here. That means reading (& understanding what you just read), each one of the posts inside the threads. No really, it really is that simple! Unless your device is new, theres likely someone who already asked your question or someone already posted a set of instructions describing the task youre needing. You can test this theory with this same thread youve commented in.
Amazing isn't it? By now, you've probably already figured it out and concluded that posting your message which mirrors the first one here wasn't necessary, nor was including your phone number.. If it wasnt already obvious, you're the lone outcast whom shared their number on a public forum. Most of us here, refrain from such similar activity, since the forum has option to directly contact members via the internal private messaging system. Some highly value their privacy and anonymity. But I cant decide for you, obviously you're comfortable with it.

So that was the most condescensing, egotistical, and just blatantly rude response I have ever seen given on this site.. I promise you, I have a very impressive ability to retain knowledge, but considering I was on this site in the first place due to the fact that I have never been interested in, or ever even attempted to mess with my phone before in any type of way, I am slightly uneducated on this PARTICULAR topic. However, that IS NOT because i lack the ability to learn, comprehend and/or retain information, understood?
It is due to the fact that I have never sat down and educated myself on it.. WHICH BY THE WAY, is WHY I'm on this site in the first place, you know that IS the entire PURPOSE of this site? ....
You see how that works? .. Let me break it down for you! Pay close attention and try to follow me and actually comprehend what I am saying! (if you're able to, that is). ANYWAYS, as I was saying, I CAME TO THIS SITE TO TRY TO EDUCATE MYSELF on something I NEEDED to educated on! ALSO to be able to interact with other people, and ask those people questions! To be able to recieve responses from those people, in order to obtain the information THAT I CAME HERE FOR! WHICH BY THE WAY, IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS SITE IS SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR! Hopefully I have yet to lose you, because this is the most important part! Let's try to read this next part, and actually try and COMPREHEND and UNDERSTAND what I'm saying. I CAME HERE TO USE THIS WEBSITE IN THE EXACT WAY THAT IT IS MEANT TO BE USED! .. To be able to share information! To exchange information! And to obtain information that I am not privy to or an expert on prior to visiting the site!! .. If I was educated on these things I WOULD NOT BE HERE!! Obviously! Soooooo, instead of being an arrogant and cocky JERK, do EVERYONE on this site a huge FAVOR, and next time NOT leave such a RUDE, SMART COMMENT!! Thanks!
P.S. isn't it funny how just from that comment, I could tell you exactly what you look like, the life you live, how insecure you are in yourself, and how you deal with that by trying to belittle others, in an attempt to make yourself feel superior.. BUT, and yes, there is a BUT!! Just because you might know more about this topic than myself, absolutely does not make you ANY more intelligent than myself.. Because I promise, anybody who leaves the response that you left, when I am using the site for its specific purpose in the first place, welllll... let's just say anyone who would do that, and who would do it to boost their superiority complex as a defense to their pathetic insecurities, well, let's just say I would bet my life on the fact that my IQ would make yours look SORT OF like you TRIED to make me look and feel when you left that comment
That's all, hope you find something better to do with your time than this in the future.. it is kind of sad! If you're not here to help, then don't comment! That goes for everyone's posts! Jerk.
Hi Everyone!
Apologies if this has already been covered, but didn't know where to start as this is all completely new to me.
I have inherited a Samsung Galaxy SM J500FN which when turned on displays ' Custom binary blocked by FRP. secure fail : Kernel ' .
All the mobile phone shops i have spoken to are only interested in replacing screens and the like, aside from one guy who recommended this forum.
I don't need any of the previous data that's held on the phone so could be taken back to out of the box state. I've had a look at Youtube and seen various mentions of ODIN but have absolutely no experience and didn't want to screw it up any further!
Hope some one can help!
Many thanks, Jay.

Hi Jay, nobody yet replied you because there's a lot of learning before understanding the replies we usually exchange here. But don't desperate, begin plainly, look into the various threads, specially related to J5, and begin from the first posts, jump here and there, and after a while this big kaos will turn into something meaningful. Then look for FRP lock, there's a lot of posts... This will lend you to ask what is Odin and what is for... There are also tons of replies... Perhaps you then 'd want to know what a ROM or firmware is, why some of them are STOCK, OFFICIAL, CUSTOM... And you'll be ready to post questions that can be replied in a bunch of rows...
Kind regards
