How long will it take? - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well hello there folks
It's me again . I'm living in Romania and i really want to know how long it will take Samsung to push the GgP 5.0.2 Sm-G530-Fz update here. On their site it says it will take months till it will be availabe worldwide. It really is that bad? I mean we shouldv got the lollipop from march,so Samsung can really disappoint us,no joke.
Aaaaaand,can i flash it manually ( i can't acces a pc right now ) ?. And please tell me detailed how i could. And don't assume that i know something because i might not.
Keep calm and wait for the lollipop. :crying:

If u are rooted u can flash using flashfire.

And what about Grand Prime 530H Xxu baseband?
When will we all get it?

Open flashfire, tap on "+", then on " Flash firmware package" and select it, then "Flash"

*XSA Galaxy s4*
alright! lets just start off by saying im an android noob. i have minimal basic knowledge of installing a custom rom, but i picked it up very quickly. tried installing cyanogen mod, screwed up, tried booting phone, didnt work. wiped the system, didnt work. used odin, that didnt work and now i'm at "firmware upgrade encountered an issue." i cannot connect the phone to kies, so i cannot do a emergency reboot. (Does anyone know the reboot code?) then I tried using odin again, and that says "failed (auth)" I read on one of the threads that instead of the mdr file that it might be an me7 (i think)?
dont worry i've learnt my lesson, i just want my phone back :/
im so upset and angry at myself, the phone is only 2 weeks old
please help..

Sammobile.com for stock roms, you will have to register.
Did you disable re-activation lock? This can cause issues...
Which note do you have?

International n9005 i will search for it on sammobile
i had bad time solving this issue , however i finally found out the issue was with bootloader.. who ever facing this issue try this once ...hope it works for u as well... i was facing similar issue when i flashed 4.4.2 n9005xxuena6 .. after flashing the rom...using odin flash the attached file under bootloader and allow it to auto reboot.
hope this helps...
all credits to xda users ...if not for xda could not have solved it.
If the OP doesn't have KK then this will REALLY screw them up...
Once the KK bootloader is flashed you can't go back to JB... Only flash if you are trying to use a Kitkat rom or are on KK. DON'T flash this rom then try to fix anything by flashing a JB rom as you will get bootloops....
Firmware smn900v
Hey guys, I am trying to find firmware for the smn900v USA. I went to sammobile but the download site is telling me I have to sign up to be able to download a file of that size. Any help would be great on finding this firmware, I soft bricked my phone and need to re-install the firmware. Thanks
Is it a problem to register on sammobile??? It's free and won't cost you more than a few minutes. Then you can download anything you want

No the problem isnt with sammobile. If you read what I typed, it is the download site that is wanting me to sign up and pay for the download because it is over 1.04gb.
There has to be a place to find this file without giving my bank info out. Thanks

Sorry, You are so right. I didn't know that. This never occurred in the past and in the time I used to download from sammobile. And I agree ... there should be a place to download this fw free of charge. I hope you'll find that place.

This is new, they were allowing downloading of roms but must've changed policy when a lot of people started downloading rom files....
@rjfjedi
With help of Google I found this site. Scrolling down the page you'll find different kinds of stock firmware for the note 3. Don't know if there is a file you can use, but I thought I mention it. Hope you succeed!

are u using google translate to post in here? well..it's hard to understand what u want..
because u already rooted, u can't update via ota..download the update manually and then flash via odin..to update ur firmware, just downlaod the N910F one and there is no international firmware..
or maybe u can ignore the update and wait for android 5.0 later

as far as i know it should be fine, because usually they all have the same firmware. but if u're afraid, maybe wait someone who also have N910F to reply later.
or like i said, just wait for 1-2 months for android 5.0
these update basically not that important though

How To Unroot/Unbrick Galaxy S6! [All Variants]

I created a step-by-step guide video to unroot/unbrick the Galaxy S6!
Grab all the files and other needed information here: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/05/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge.html
I was instaled official XEF 6.0.1 on my rooted device S6 edge. But after pass on odin and after reboot on screen information some about drk , check drk. A found solution for that some file must flashing with odin and I was doing that. After instal and reboot phon was booting i working butt still is rooted. I cant check for official update a when i power on my phone in left court is message kernel is not Seandroid enforcing.
How to solve that problem and have unrooted phone?
HELPPPP i cant unroot s6 edge
So i bought a rooted(with odin) s6 edge from a guy. It is lollipop and i want to update it to marshmallow via ota. My settings show that the model is G925f. And baseband g925fxxu3coi9. But the phone info tells me it is g925p which is usa sprint and gives a different baseband g925pvpu3bol1 and download mode also shows g925p. G925f is international. Atleast i think so. I downloaded my country(pakistan's) 3 firmwares and 1 of uk too of g925f. I also downloaded sprint usa firmware. I have tried flashing all of these through odin. All give fails. I got three types of fails: serial com port error, NAND write start fail on my country and uk firmware and that device 3 binary 2 fail on sprint firmware.
Please help me what should i do? Should i get the motherboard replaced?

Galaxy Grand prime SM-G530F reboot after root

I'm new to rooting, and have rooted my phone using KingoRoot from my P.C.
It works fine, but when I reboot, it reboots into recovery mode which then allows me to reboot normally.
I surfed some of the forums to find a solution to this and found a common answer which I tried.
1) Factory reset
2) Wipe partition/cache
3) Reboot
This I did, but it has not resolved the issue.
Android 4.4.4
Build KTU84P.G530FXXu1AOE2
Kernel 3.10.28-599907 [email protected] #1
I have now done this twice to ascertain that the issue has not been fixed and am loath to carry on lest I brick the phone - of course, there is the other reason, setting it up from new every time is a real drag.......

Thanks for your response, I'll have a look at flashify, will it unroot the phone?
O.K. Had a look, have installed, will look for some tutorials before I use it !
I cannot find a download link for the correct build number and even when I go to download by country/carrier it is not listed.
TWRP has no listing for it, and neither does CWM. PHILZ just doesn't go there...
I suspect that it is already somewhere on the phone since it is "stock" but after having looked, I am unable to find it.
Any suggestions ?
I might can upload mine kernal, but it's 5.1.1, if you want to use my kernal you have to upgrade to 5.1.1 lolipop. If you want to do that pls let me know I will teach you how to.
Yes, Lollipop will be fine !

My phone is already rooted and has been rebooted a few times since then.
So, what now ?
So, I downloaded samsung Kies 3.2 (latest) and connected the phone, no problem there.
When I click initialise upgrade, Kies stops responding.
Downloaded Kies 3.1 - same thing.
According to Samsung update, there is no upgrade for my phone to 5.1.1. Are you sure that this is possible. You said that you would teach me, but you have really not told me anything !
Next ?

First, the grand prime is able to update to 5.1.1 lolipop, I'm sure because mine is on 5.1.1. Go to Settings -> About phone, on the top you can see a option to update your phone. After update your phone go download kingroot and flashify. After you root your phone , use flashify to flash the kernal back to stock one. I will upload stock kernal soon.

I have looked for it and not found it. There are some galaxy prime phones that do (G531F does)
I just want to keep my phone rooted as it is, and sort out the boot issue.
If you can't help with this, thanks for trying !

Have you reboot yet? If you do and still works fine that's means you are good.
Problem is resolved !
I have resolved the issue myself.
It appears as if all I needed to do was remove the battery for a short period of time.
The phone now boots correctly and I have not lost my root access !
