Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find the stock firmware for the SM-G530T1? I've looked and have not been able to find it.
Edit: It would be possible to get the firmware using the IMEI number in SmartSwitch. Unfortunately I and another are unable to access our IMEI number from the settings in the phone since our phones are bricked. We'll need someone else with the phone to take care of that. It would be tremendously appreciated!

No, I don't see a serial number anywhere on the phone
same boat
the imei serves as the serial number i believe but smartswitch wont have any of it lol. ill play the waiting game for some stock firmware now. trying to flash g530t firmware bricked the device.
@Yu_San @silentgumm
If we have a working SM-G530T1 we can get the IMEI from the phone and then use the Smartswitch to get the firmware....

I wish mine did work. Hopefully someone who has a working one will come along and provide their IMEI so we can get the firmware.

Google settings- imei #
I looked up how to get your imei # without going into your phone & it says that all you have to do to get it is to go to google settings & go into your android devices and itll pop up all the android devices that are connected to your gmail & there should be a list & the imei #s should be there too.

I'll see if that works. Thank you for the info.
Edit: Okay, I've got some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that I found my IMEI number using the method described by Eker. Also, the IMEI number is on the sticker behind the battery but it doesn't say it's the IMEI number, so now we know that. It's the number above the long bar code with the slashes in it.
The bad news is that SmartSwitch says the device is unsupported and when picking "Emergency Software Recovery and Initialization" from the "MORE" menu at the top, nothing appears in the first tab and in the second tab, entering the phone model (SM-G530T1) brings up a new box asking for a serial number. I entered the IMEI number (with and without the slashes) but it says the serial number entered is not corrected. Same thing using Samsung Kies 2 & 3.
I don't know what to do

Damn, that sucks. I mean, that's not totally bad. It would just be better to get the firmware and do it ourselves. That way we can post the firmware here and other people who can't or don't want to go in to a service center can do it themselves. Hmmm...

Just chatted with someone from Samsung and they said the firmware will not be available online. I'm not sure if they ever officially provide firmware to begin with though, so that may or may not be news. I guess the only way to get it is if someone else unofficially provides it...

Even with serial number it wont be possible, smart switch just closes with serial number. Looks like samsung doesn't support smart switch recovery for this device.

Hi, my name is Kit and I am having trouble locating information on how to root the specific model for my phone.
Phone:Samsung Galaxy S5
Model:SM-S903VL
Carrier: Straight Talk
Android Version: 6.0.1
Baseband Version: S903VLUDU4APH3
Kernal Version:
3.4.0-8867563
[email protected] #1
Wed Aug 10 18:39:36 KST 2016
Build Number: MMB29M.S903VLUDU4APH3
Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I have tried looking about and only found a Chinese Website that mentioned the Firmware.
I am not sure if there isn't a root or if I am simply misunderstanding how to do something.
Please and thank you for taking time to try to help me.
Sorry for the double post and bump, but it has been a few days, and my topic seemed to be drifting away from page 1 and 2.
I still do need assistance if anyone can help.
Please and thank you.
I would like information too just got this phone and would like to root if possible.
same here, theres hardly any info about this phone.
I want this so hard

Yep! I assumed it was from the fact that I had a Samsung Galaxy S4 before this phone. And I used that phone to restore my apps from. It says about Samsung Video (S4 & Note3) I believe for me.
Any ideas?

I haven't seen the beaming service app refuse to update. I'm not sure why it's doing this. The only thing I can assume is the new version of Samsung Video in the app store isn't compatible with the Galaxy S5 (or the installed firmware), and that somebody in quality control wasn't doing their due diligence.
I've been really happy with this phone so far, just wish I could root it. I haven't tried any suggested methods yet, I'm waiting to see what successes other people are having first before I brick my phone (I'm chicken!). I've been following this thread as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...p-rooting-straight-talk-s5-sm-s903vl-t3503505
Just got this phone about a month or so ago and I can't find anything about rooting it. It is very frustrating because everyone keeps ignoring posts about this phone and it then drifts away and nothing gets answered. I have tried the @kxhan15 's method on root a similar version from Straight Talk but fails in ODIN trying to flash TWRP. I really wish someone would come to the rescue with an answer!
I don't know if there is some other information I can provide that may help or where else to look for assistance. In all honesty I just feel useless having to wait.
Give us root! Dev gods hear our cries!
I have these files. Anyone know what to do to make it into root?

Doesn't the TowelRoot v3 app let you modify some code to let you use it with phones that are not yet compatible? I looked into it but I don't quite understand it.
Hopefully someone is working on it behind the scenes and is just keeping it under wraps.
Maybe it will be a holiday present for us! Wishful thinking though.

Hello everyone,
I own a Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge from Thai.
The problem is that the reference registered on the phone and the reference that is in the parameter does not match (SM-G9350 and SM-G9500).
Can you bring me your help in order to root my device and replaced the original rom with another custom rom that owns the playstore because in the original rom the playstore is not there.
Thanking you in advance.

The reason no one has responded is that the questioned has been asked and answered so many times that anyone should be able to find the answer on their own. There is even a step by step answer. And there is a video posted by Beut. But you have to be VERY VERY careful to follow it exactly. Miss one step and it won't work.

You must not have read them carefully. The ONLY way to remove the FRP lock is to use Odin to revert to 6 with the ROM ending in PL4. You won't find a way while still running 7.
edit: BTW, once you remove the FRP lock, the tablet will update itself, OTA, back to the latest 7 from Samsung. So, don't worry about using 6 to get rid of the lock.

What difference does it make what firmware the tablet is running now? In order to remove the FRP the tablet has to be set back to the PL4 firmware and that can be done no matter what it currently has.
edit: The ability to add a fake wifi entry, highlighting it and choosing "advanced" is the key. That feature is ONLY available in a few Android 6 ROMS. The one ending in PL4 being one of them.

Then why not just post what version to flash and how to use it to remove FRP? Rather than, "what version are you running?", flash version "xyzzz" and do "such and such". Personally, I'd like that info if, and only if, it is easier than the 6 method. And doesn't cost any money. If you are selling something, then forget it.
edit; I take that back. If the OP can't figure out how to use the 6 method, and you can sell them something using 7, then more power to you.

Do you think I'd spoil a perfectly good rep on these forums to sell something that can be obtained for free? In future do your research before replying to members with 'Recognized contributor' status.
Also no, I will not post up the method for general consumption, so any Tom **** and Harry can breeze by and happily bypass the security on a questionably obtained device.
