Kingroot and su are two different forms of root, in this case flashfire is asking for su(super user) so you need to root with superuser, the old way, flashing from Odin the necessary files for acquire root, then flashfire will work.
Couldnt i just install su as a sys app for same effect? Does mobile odin work on this devic3
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using XDA Free mobile app
It won't work I think, because you need all the related files that super su needs for work. Take a look on the thread root by Mohan, there's must be some answers related to cricket variant and root.
Grand prime on cricket doesnt appear anywhere. Ive read just about every forum. Since cricket is owned by att could i use the att stuff

how did you get back to stock on g530az? my phone is bricked
Download kies 3 on your PC, put your phone into download mode, plug your phone in, in the upper corner of kies go to firmware upgrade and ininliaztion or something like that, put in the model, put in your serial number, and just contuine with the process. It took me a couple tries, it failed for some odd reason the first couple times but eventually it started working and I got back to stock 5.1.1

I'm new to Samsung devices and therefore Kies and Odin. Are Samsungs essentially unbrickable, then, since you can flash back to stock using Samsung's tools?
I unwittingly attempted to root a SM-G530AZ (Cricket) running Lollipop 5.1.1 with Kingroot and bricked the phone when it rebooted. "Custom" was displayed on the boot up screen and the phone was locked with an exclamation point in a yellow triangle. It told me to contact the service provider for assistance.
What is the procedure to undo that goof up?

all you can do its flash it back to stock using kies3.
you will lose all data on that phone.
install kies3
select tools
firmware upgrade
enter your model number like this SM-G530AZ
enter your serial number
now kies will download the firmware,conect your phone
in download mode and wait abt 30 minutes.
do not try to root again,has of 1/02/2016 it still no root available for our device.
i have try everything on the web and fail.root will be obtain by kingroot but bricks on reboot.
too sad but true

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M from Koodo (Telus). And I wanted to get the latest 4.3 android on my phone, so I installed Cyanogenmod 10.2, and flashed my phone using that. I then realised that I didn't like the new display and wanted my old phone's display and firmware.
So I then proceeded to flash my phone with my Stock firmware using Odin 3.07. My phone didn't start up normally and is stuck on the part where the phone shows the Samsung logo. I can turn off the phone and boot into download mode, and I can access the recovery using Volume Up + Home + Power button. I have also tried to us the Firmware upgrade and initialization using Samsung Kies, but that doesn't change anything. Odin recognises my device, and Kies lets me flash using firmware emergency recovery, but I cannot open the files using the directory on my computer
At Odin Mode it shows the following:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337M
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
I backed up all my data prior to flashing using Cyanogenmod, so I don't care if I lose my data. (Also my constant flashing will definitely stop once I fix my phone). Is this phone soft bricked or hard bricked? How do I fix this? Thank you in advance.
Edit: I was also using Clockworkmod Recovery. AND YAY! I can actually boot into Android system recovery. Sorry, I simply was not holding the buttons correctly. Should I do a factory reset?
Try jusy volume+ and ppower then do a factory reset

I booted into recovery and pressed "wipe data/factory reset" and then pressed "reboot system now" but nothing changed when the phone rebooted.

You need to Odin the nb1 tar file. Then do the nb1 to nc1 update to get back to where you were. Did you try to install a custom recovery, twrp or cwm? You can't do that safestrap is the only recovery you can use.

You can't install a custom recovery if you have mk2 firmware your bootloader is locked and currently the only way to run a custom ROM is to use safe strap. You can try this to unbrick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080 or take it to a best buy with a Samsung experience shop and beg them to flash it.

Well not sure what steps to do as the phone is in download mode. I see the 4th post in that thread has boot modem and recovery and that seems to be what screwed up flashing twrp. I could try that set of steps and see or can I flash back to the previous firmware and be all good and hope the MK2 ota is pushed to me.

Well I flashed the stock recovery and boot img and I got my phone back. Will wait to see if twrp gets supported before flashing a custom rom.

You can't get twrp to work unless someone counteracts sammy's bootloader lockdown--I don't see that happening anytime soon
You need to use SafeStrap as mentioned--read up a lot on it in the General and Q&A sections
You can still flash a fair number of quality roms, but you are limited
You must use SafeStrap's recovery, which if memory serves me, is loosely based on twrp
[Q] OTA update after root on Stock? (SM-G900T) "Device was modified in an unauthorize
Just ran the root guide posted by Chainfire and it worked like a dream. I now have a rooted phone on TouchWiz like I wanted. Unfortunately, there is also an update for the phone available which refuses to install giving me the "Device was modified in an unauthorized way" error. Is there a way to get around this problem while remaining on stock? Or am I now left with relying on custom ROMs to get updated versions of Android?
No, you can download firmwares from wherever (eg Sammobile) and flash via ODIN. You may have to re-root.
keep in mind if you update it will lock your bootloader since these phones came with unlocked bootloaders. no way in hell am i stupid enough to let them lock my bootloader.
