First off thanks to the community for actively helping strangers on the internet. We appreciate it.
Now, I rooted my phone while on 5.0.1 using chainfire's root technique without issue. Then I flashed with Odin Sammobile's 5.1.1 update successfully. However in doing so I lost root.
When I attempt to re-root using the same technique that worked before it goes into a bootloop. So I re-flashed the 5.1.1 update and then flashed TWRP. I granted TWRP the right to install root and the same problem occured. It just continues to loop at the samsung logo.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Just search the forum, there are many thread about the solution here
I've tried searching the forums without any luck. If anyone could link a thread with an answer it would be great. Unfortunately I have about 20 minutes a day to try to get this resolved and I'm on day 4.
Thanks
Chain fire's root file which is made for android 5.0 won't work on android 5.1. To root android 5.1 you will need to flash a root file made for your device of that version. Also note that you must flash only those files that are made for your phone's model number. For example, exynos root file may or may not work on snapdragon.

Hello!
I had previously rooted my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 using towelroot and everything was fine. However, I recently received an alert from AT&T stating that a new update was available. I currently have 4.4.2 and from this forum, it sounds like the update was for 4.4.4.
I went to download and install the update, but when I did so, the update failed and my root was removed. I cannot reroot using towelroot nor can I get the update to complete, it just resets at about 25%.
I'd like to install the update successfully and possibly reroot, although root is a lesser priority. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
Thank you.
Do you have a recovery installed? Just flash the SuperSU from recovery, reboot and install binaries. Problem solved.

The process is lil bit costly. I was all afternoon looking for it . I think this is the solution:
1. There is no official firmware file for NC1. You will have to flash the NB1 file first then apply the update to NC1: HERE
2. You can root your phone and have the latest update for your device. How? Follow this GUIDE.
3. Enjoy
It's easier for my device, I guess. If I flash a rom that doesn't have root access, I just flash the SuperSU zip in recovery and reboot. Unlocked bootloaders make it sooo easy to mess with the phone

and I was able to update to 4.4.4 successfully. I haven't tried to root my phone but I'm not sure if I really want to so everything seems resolved.
After much reading and experimenting, I am stumped. I have tried rooting using Odin 3.09 and twrp 2.8.0.1. using various techniques. I can get to where it boots into twrp, but when I try reboot it doesn't give me the root option. I also tried this kazil-tech.weebly.com/ technique of loading a zip version of SuperSU v2.46. The links to the files are all broken and the versions are not given, s I really don't know what is required, but that technique went exactly as described. The only problem is it didn't root the tab. It did take root checker two tries to discover it wasn't rooted. Is my problem that the kernel is too new and all the Odin techniques are not compatible? Is there any other way to get this to work?

Proper links to SuperSU zips:
SuperSU 2.46 zip
SuperSU 2.49 zip
After I updated from Android 5 to the new Marshmallow 6.0.1 update by wiping my device, it turns out that root still exists on my device, even after uninstalling by SuperSU when it was in Android 5 before the wipe. I've also tried the Smart Switch method but Rootchecker and any root applications are coming up with errors and wont let me do anything. I don't want to try installing the 6.0.1 version of root incase it bricks my phone.
Anyone know a fix for this? Would be very much appreciated!

Unistalling supersu and/or wiping the device alone wont do it.You must flash stock firmware which you can find at sammobile.com register and download one for your variant.after that flash it with odin(there are many guides on how to use it) and that should do it.
Just wondering if anyone was successful in installing xposed framework on the metro version of this phone and making it active? I have looked far and wide and after countless soft bricks and restores I admit defeat. As stated in the title my phone is the metro version of the grand prime android 5.1.1. I am running the trap kernel by Shinyside on this phone along with supersu.
I have followed many tutorials on several different versions of this phone and each one has ended in soft bricking the phone. When you search xposed SM-G530T1 it returns nothing but topics about stock firmware and xposed on the 530H. The only version that didn't soft brick is xposedinstaller 3.0 alpha, yet even after granting root privileges and rebooting I am still greeted with The latest version of Xposed is currently not active.
Edit: Solved using Wanams fix for samsung Link below for his steps to fix

Help me Please.
I have been going through this same problem but the other forum doesn't help as much I have the same phone a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530T1 rinning lollipop 5.1.1 the metro version. Um my rom is custom gwiz I think with a trap kernel l.. I had to install that through flash fire app. Because I can't seem to get CWM or TWRP working on my phone... can you let me know exactly what you did starting with rooting your phone to installing xposed ?:crying: :crying: :crying:

Well first I flashed the stock rom with odin waited for the phone to reboot then I set it up just like you would a new phone. Once it was completed I shut it down and put it back into download mode and flashed the trap kernel located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g530t-5-1-1-t3203476
After that was done waited for the phone to reboot then flashed twrp from the g530h with odin . A forum search of TWRP-SMG530H will lead you to the file.
Once I gained root and flashed the recovery I needed to find out what type of cpu this phone was running so I installed droid info from the playstore. The system info shown ARMv7 so I went to the link in my original post and downloaded XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk but did not install it just yet. First I flashed the framework xposed-v85.1-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20160 with twrp. Once it was done I cleared cache and rebooted. It took the phone about seven mins to boot.
Then installed the apk gave it root permissions rebooted and thats it. Also Note that the twrp version used cant make backups because it was not intended for this phone but it will flash whats needed. After many, I and I mean many failed attempts this was the solution to my problem.
Ok
So you don't have a Custom ROM or is trap Kernel a custom rom... I'm still kind of new to this but I will try
Thank You
Thanks it's now working

anyone help ?
S7 edge I do root via the SuperSU flashable zip file via a custom recovery. Other methods don't seem to work well with S7 on nougat because the user data partition needs to be reformatted in custom recovery (TWRP usually) in advance when you want to root the phone.
You'll need to backup the phone before hand and set it up from its initial state after rooting it.

Do not use SuperSu to root S7 as its not compatible and only meant to be used on older phones. It will not work on Android 8.
