I see that there are many different versions of the Grand Prime. I currently own the 4G version of the device SM-G531F. And there is no method to root this specific version. Please can some clarify the different versions of this phone. Thanks !!

Hello,
I`ve come across to Galaxy Grand 2 and the problem is that I have G710 version and I`ve been looking for hours now and can`t find anything about rooting or installing custom recovery on G710 version. I only found bunch of stuff for G7102 version and know I want to ask if the stuff for G7102 works for G710. I will be very thankful on any help.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

I`ve seen this video and he uses G7102 version files in it and I am not 100% sure what to do.

You can use sm g7102 rooting and custom recovery techniques for your sm g710 too.Tested by me
I see custom roms for different model numbers of this phone.. Would these roms also work for my metro g530T?
Anyone?
I'm pretty sure the metro version is G530T1 right? Because I have the t-mobile variant which is G530T
Damn, it actually is, all of that aside though. Too many key differences for this device to use said existing roms?

im looking for roms for my device that will work for this what do your have for the samsung-SM-G530A

I am considering purchasing a Galaxy Grand Prime and the most likely model that I would purchase would be the SM-G530p or SM-G530t. While doing my research on this platform before purchasing I cannot help but notice that the majority of development and ROM releases overwhelmingly support the SM-G530h or SM-G531h.
What exactly is required to get an "H" ROM working on a "T" or "P" model? I am not exactly a noob when it comes to building android ROMs (I am a dev on androidforums.com and very active on freaktab) so your reply doesn't have to be too dumbed down. I am just unfamiliar with this platform. I have a sprint galaxy s4 (SPH-L720), however it seems like the ROM support is better for the various S4 than the various Grand Primes and this hasn't been an issue so far with my s4.
Would it not be possible to take any Grand Prime ROM (ex: an S7 ROM based on 5.1.1 ported for G530H), replace the kernel and supporting files with the 5.1.1 kernel including root for the G530P, flash it to the device, and have a functional ROM?
In general when flashing a custom ROM we won't be flashing the modem or radio partitions, correct? So as long as the android userland version matches the android version that the kernel is built for, and that kernel supports the installed baseband/radio/modem then won't this result in a functioning ROM?
Please let me know if I am incorrect, and if so where is the flaw in my logic!
Cheers and Thanks!!!
thats what i want to know also we need to gather a team and work on the G530P
too many persons buying this phone and being unable to use it globally there must be a way to change the modem or baseband to enable gsm or global features as the other variants of the grand prime series g530/t/h/t1 and others....there must be a way to somehow extract data from each and compile a greate baseband for the g530 to enable call and sms features and ussd features as well cause im sure the g530p is no different from g530t or the other variants in this series as they all have the same msm8916 qualcomm modem but the features are either locked to cdma or gsm/umts
CODERS OUT THERE PLEASE HELP WE NEED YOU!!!!
SUPERCODERS WE NEED YOU ASAP PLEASE HERE US OUT:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Unfortunately, I think, you can't do anything.
You can't install an 530H or 531H ok 530T
To make a 530h ROM fonction on any other model is insanely hard.
I've tried it personally, and everytime I failed.
I recently bricked my phone and I need to know what model my phone is to install twrp and a rom. My model is SM-G360T1, yet no one mentions this phone model on the forum so I don't know if this model is called multiple things. PLEASE HELP.

We don't have a dedicated rom unfortunately. Also try TWRP 2.7/2.8 (I think)
We do, just found roms and found twrp 3.0.2.0. for our phone and around 3 roms. I should have looked more, if you want to know where I got this than ask me for the links, or just look at the first 2 tabs of "Samsung Galaxy Core Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development".
Can someone tell me the difference between Samsung G361H and G361F.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-G361F and I wonder if I can install a costom rom made for SM-G361H.
If not I'd like to know why.
Thank You!

The difference between the two phone models (in my knowledge) is that they are two different models of the same 'branch' of phones.

I'm afraid that's not possible. You should NEVER EVER install firmwares designed for a different phone. It could lead to a simple soft brick or a hardware misconfiguration that could render the phone broken at a hardware level.

They are two different models of the same branch of phone, so no.
Unfortunately, the Core Prime SM-G361F is one of those phones that a) nobody particularly wants to write ROMs or recoverys (with a few exceptions) for because it's so hard and b) most people have the much better and somewhat easier to write roms for, SM-G360H
Usually in Samsung devices the model number followed by a H is the 3G model and the one followed by a F is the 4G LTE model
so the main difference is that so SM-G361H is the 3G model and SM-G361F is LTE version of the same device. But yet they carry different chipsets.
So if you try to flash 361h roms to 361f or the other way you'll get a flash failure or a bricked device.
Can i upgrade my coreprime
SM-G361H to marshmellow 6.1
I have the exact problem thx @MelonChickens
