[Question] Is there Root for SM-G530P? - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just went over to sprint the other day and got this version that ha 5.1.1 installed out of the box. Been searching around and have yet to find anything that even list this version/build but see many others listed.
Is there a root/Pre-root rom that will work on this variant?

I second this! I have been searching for any info on rooting this specific device without luck! I don't mind doing research on how to do it and finding out how my self, just can't find anything at all to do so thus far!

Root for SM-G530P
I third this someone please help...

Before you get into flashing anything on the device....please be sure to enable OEM Unlocking under developers option.
Also, there seems to be a twrp recovery, however, I have not tested it out myself yet...when I do so I will let you all know if it's success or not.
Another thing, I think it's highly possible that the phone will require a "permissive" kernel...not too sure yet. I will advise shortly...

Ok I got news. The phone has been semi-rooted, I was right...it requires a permissive kernel in order for the phone to boot up once more. The people that come in mind when it comes to permissive sprint kernels are Freeza & Djvoleur. They can probably cook something up if they have the source code for this phone already.... also, we need a working twrp or philz recovery.... the ones provided do not work... meaning that it would be redundant to have a permissive kernel...if we don't have a working custom recovery to flash it over with.... unless there's another way to flash the zip file or maybe just the boot.img? I will keep updating this if I find anything further...

Haha thanks bro. I understand, hope to see you around more often when you have time

Wow sounds like this is it! Can't wait to try it when I get back home. Thanks for the updates guys!
EDIT: It works great, thanks for looking out and thanks for the work put into this to bring us root to our devices.
Now if I could just find a ROM for this thing that would make it a bit less bloated and run a bit smoother that will make it all worth while.

Hey i have this to please message me the information i need a reliable root A.S.A.P

Nice walls phunkee, like the fractal ones, very retro! Only weird thing on my handset tho, is when i apply the theme using hdwalls, i have to switch off / switch on, to get the top and bottom curtains to change. If i simply do a soft reset, it puts standard grey top/bottom curtains up. Happens with all downloaded themes, ones ive made myself, everything. Odd!

What are the differences between theses roms there are a lot to choose from ?
TIA
to be honest I have no idea, but they will be older stuff, so more than likely wont be has useful to everyday users. But if something happens to your device, you have the stock versions there where you can downlaod and restore to device.
But I am not an android developer and i have never looked into the files, and so I can not tell you what the difference is.
Just saw you post this on twitter too, thanks conflipper

yea me too id hate to lose my root
Already downloading it, haha, I'm running the leaks so no problem with root here
Someone asked me to load it up.
It appears to be the same one that is on this site
THIS SITE
So I would not recommend doing this, cause it looks like it will UNROOT your device.

O well nevermind then, Thanks anyways though con.
I think you should probably rename it to "leak2" or something, as to not confuse anyone
OKay, thanks for the tip it is done, I really wasnt sure what was in the file, so I just took the file name has it was.

Ah, if it's the official ROM you're running then I think that would be odexed. These mods only work on a deodexed ROM. That's why it won't change anything. I don't know of a way to do it on a odexed ROM.
oh, yes, you are right. i will change to deodexed rom, thanks.
and i saw that sombody asked you for a guide, any chance...?
you'll be my hero!
so, i will change to deodexed, can you do the new messege thing, please? just if you have spare time or something... lol
thanks alot for your time and help!!

A guide isn't too easy, as there are a lot of steps. Depends on how familiar you are with smali/baksmali and .smali code files. If you know how to use these tools then you're on your way.
I'll try and have a go with the 'New Message' short cut, but can't promise anything as not sure when I'll have a chance to sit down and do it. But if I get it done I'll be sure to PM you
thanks, and i dont know a thing about .smali, i hoped your guide will be my step up lol
so just if you have time and thats.
thanks for everything!
and i hope it didnt came up in a rude and greedy way, i am realy thankfull.

Any custom recovery for sm-g928r4?

Is there any custom recovery for this at all? If so I can't find one. Would be great if we could get one for this model.
No one has any info? I can't believe that. Come on, someone has to know something. Is it possible to flash one of the other s6 edge plus recoverys?
Can anybody shed some light on this please : ( I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting to know this information. Thank you for your time.
No need for multiple posts man, people may take some time to respond ?
There is a recover in the instructions part of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3219017.

Well that's a bummer : ( I see all over for everything but the g928r4 model. I know I'm not the only one that is frustrated by this.
I'm really sorry for bumping this, but someone on the interwebs has to know something about it :/ Some type of custom recovery maybe some roms anything...
Any news on a custom recovery/rom for this yet?would be fantastic if someone would work on something for this model : (
macmandarrell1 said:
i can only say that i had trouble with recovery on sm-g928f using g928c firmware on 6.0.1 , i used the recovery for note 5 and that worked for me but im not saying that would work for you if thats the firmware you referring too

I mean I see every other model has something going on for it how come no one has anything for SMG928R4. I mean I know it takes time for stuff to get done but I mean no info at all or any testing for this model is a little ridiculous :/
Anyone have any info on this now at all???

creating a custom rom

Is there any good tutorials for creating a custom rom. I'm starting to try to learn but am stuck at the moment. I am using the paid version of SuperR Kitchen. Ive had help getting all the necessary tools and and files needed, I've made it as far as deodexing, and removing Knox, I've added busy box (not sure if it was done correct). But kinda stuck with what to do next. Ive searched all over for a guide on what to do next but everything i come across is for unlocked bootloaders. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm wanting to learn so that i can help contribute to the community here since it seems most of the AT&T devs either skipped the S7 or have moved onto a different device.
Well although i did not get any response from anyone, i have finally figured out how to create a custom rom thanks @stang5litre for all the help and advice you have me. And to @SuperR. for his work on the kitchen.

Yea stang has been helping me a lot. Pretty much step by step. If i have a question i go to him. Lol. And i have lots of questions. There's a lot more to it than i thought. All the tools you need and to have them set up correct and what not. If recommend getting SuperRs kitchen also. I use the donate version, it's only 10 bucks and he updates it very often. I say i built the rom but heck, stang set up the tools, and told me step by step on what to do, so basically i just pushed numbers. Lol.
Sorry I have no idea how to make a custom rom but, this is awesome! I really want an AT&T custom rom if you're working on that good luck man and if not still good luck! Have fun!! Cheers

I've created a rom in MM. It's plane jane. Basically just seeing what I can do. All I've added is 3 mint clock, 3 mini battery, and gradient status bar. But still a success to me just to get it to boot. Lol. I'm working on N but haven't been able to get it to boot yet. I keep getting errors once it starts the symlink process, and i don't understand symlink yet. But even when I do, it'll still be pretty plane just because I'm still learning. Lol. But if your looking for a rom to run right know, stang5litre has am awesome MM over in the Verizon forum. The only thing that i noticed that didn't work for us on AT&T was WiFi calling. He's also working on one for N.

Afraid to test? Nice assumption.
I'm certainly not asking anyone to test it.
Least of all you, you probably don't have the stones for it anyway.
Maybe i have some trouble in english but :

The title is meant to be humorous man.
Not here to argue with you. I'll be flashing this myself after work. If I never come back wish me luck.
Same for me...
Will test after work... Download already done.
PS: can't find something wrong in opener. Have to say thanks for good news.

Hey mate.
No, not me I'm afraid, but the dev who did this has done a handful of other builds from source it seems. I think the AOKP one in the dev forum is his which was smooth as. With the exception of no NFC.
Can't wait to flash and see what is working with LOS 15.0 though.

Did you factory reset after install this happens sometimes a factory reset normally does the trick.
Did this work for anyone didnt boot for me.
I wonder where are device sources for that build... There is no oreo branch sources for lithium that I can find... Although of course I just do not know how to look for them. Or maybe the developer made compatible tree, vendor and kernel himself and haven't had time to upload yet
What's strange is that that man builds a workable (if it is, I don't know) oreo build for Mix and doesn't share anywhere ... I would've done immediately :victory:
Anyway it is good news at least that someone's working on it albeit not yet successfully!

We can be 99.9% sure that we'll at least get a working Lineage build, and almost certainly one for RR too (Papps has already said it's coming). I know the OP2/3 have booting Oreo builds, if not fully functional just yet.
Pretty sure that if this actually worked it would already be in the ROMs section, as you said, but I tried it anyway. No luck. Factory reset, installed along with the GApps zip from the 24/8, using TWRP 3.1.1.2. Just sits at the MI boot screen. Maybe it'd only take an updated TWRP to boot, but as it stands it does nothing.
