[SOLVED] Rooting SM-G530FZ

Hi guys!
About 2 months ago I bought a new smartphone: Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530FZ G530FZXXU1AOA3. Now I want to root it. I know I'll loose the warranty and I'm worried about bricking it. Has anyone successfully rooted this phone? I find some tutorials using ODIN and autoroot zip files. But they were for SM-G530F/SM-G530H/SM-G530BT. I hope you'll help me! Thanks!

Hi there,
I have SM-530FZ too, and I wait for answer too. But i think I will try to root this model. The only question I have is if root from there: autoroot.chainfire.eu "SM-G530F - KTU84P.G530FXXU1ANK2 - 4.4.4 will be good for this model.

Yes, it works correctly. Download root to SM-G530F. Zip file includes Odin and root.

Thank you, Kubolini! I'll try it!

There is no bootloop or something else? I read that some poeple have problems after that bootloop or everytime tehey restart phone phone enter in recovery mode.
Sorry for my bad english.

Don't worry about your English! I can understand! Now let's talk about our problem. Even 2 phones have the same name (G530FZ), the can have different baseband version (G530FZXXU1AOA3 for my Grand Prime).

Yes, I think so. Good luck! I'm waiting for the final answer!

Ok, few things. After root, i have one problem. If I want to restart my phone, android first show samsung screen with "Set Warranty Bit: recovery" and then load recovery. I dont know why. I must hit reboot system now in recovery, and then android load normally. So I decided to remove root in SuperSU. SuperSU remove root, but doesnt solved my problem. So i think i must hard reset my phone or download new rom.

I read in some post that after that you must celar cache & partition and dalvik cache and then everything works well.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
I tried on my 530fz and it works! Yeah!!!

Yea, Kingroot works perfectly. But i still have a same problem with recovery after reboot. I clear everything, I install new recovery and clean everything again. I disable KNOX with Kingroot and it still open recovery after reboot. Any solutions?

Not sure if you can do it that way but what i would do is downgrade back to kitkat and root using TowelRoot. Then flash this lollipop pre root using philz recovery.

Thanks for confirming, thought that might be the case.

I'm in kitkat 4.4.4 rooted. If i follow your guide to update, will i need to flash something else after finishing? (like kernel or baseband). I'm doing a nandroid now.

Thanks, working well for me

Cheers for this works fine apart from every music app gets killed when the screen is off for a few mins. I've turned off stamina, added exceptions to stamina mode etc but nothing has fixed it. Any ideas? Bit of a bugger when driving/ listening to music. Only started since flashing this.
Edit: sorted was Greenify. Must be a bit more efficient with the new os version as nothing was different from before

should I "fastboot flash boot boot.img" or something else?
My phone is running Carbon Rom 5.1.1 kernel 3.4.0 and it get stuck on sony logo when I've tried to flash this trough recovery
I've already restore it via flashboot flash recovery twrp.img restore a previous backup and reflash boot.img but as I'm experiencing camera issues (Couldn't connect to camera) want to try an stock kernel.

[Q] S5 Active Advice required please

Hi Folks
My partner has just got the S5 Active and she loves it..
But now she would like to update from 4.4.2.. Phone says she has latest rom so my questions are this
1)What is the latest official rom for the Active?
2)Whats the BEST root method?
3)What Custom roms are suitable?
3)Finally what is the best route to take to flash a CUSTOM rom?
looking forward to your responses
regards
Lohtse

1) Here you can find the latest TW stock rom:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Android Lollipop is available for the S5 Active. You can download the latest Firmware and flash it via Odin. You don't need root for that.
2) My preferred root method is flashing CF auto root via Odin. After that I install another recovery like TWRP
3) Nobody can answer that. Try and find it out (perform a full wipe incl cache before you install a custom rom)
4) This steps: root, recovery, full wipe, custom rom, and at least if you want and need that: custom kernel

Thank you for the help...
finally got it sorted after reading around 9-10 different guides... all of which had little bits missing
now she's a happy bunny with LP on her Active and I'm a tired old fart with droopy eyes!!!!!
Just need a custom recovery now!!

Congratulations! How you solved it?
Yeah recovery is the same problem. It exists no recovery for the G870A

Two things that I found that allowed me to sort the Active which was mentioned
firstly to allow Flashfire to work you had too set clock back past 1/15/15
and you had to also set flashfire to boot into download to allow you to flash the G870A_OC5_Bootloader.tar.md5 file via Odin on the pc.. once I did these it worked...
Just depends which guide you read to find a COMPLETE one....

Damn that sounds very tricky

Not really just no two guides the same.... soon as I noticed the minor differences it was easy.
1) root with towel root copy stock LP(rooted version)
2) Install and set date to 1/1/15 then open Flashfire
3)Flash Stock rooted LP using flashfire making sure you have flashfire set to boot to download when finished
4) open Odin PC and connect S5Active
5)Point Opins AP slot to location of the G870A_OC5_Bootloader.tar.md5 file
6) Flash and reboot and your done...
MAJOR issue was the flashfire issue once found issue and set it as stated above I was Up and running after 10minutes Just had spent 4 hours failing before I notice and figured out what the issues was...
Simple really.... Well it was in the end lol

What rom can I flash?

Note: I already tires flashing roms from this forum, none of them worked.
I have a sm g930v (Verizon snapdragon) and I've tried flashing some different roms including superman rom and others, but when I do, I get stuck in a bootloop. So I assume that those roms just don't click with my phone. Could anyone give me the name of a rom that could work? If you need it, some info on my phone can be found at imgur . com/gallery/VK2hH (couldn't attach via xda app, sorry)
Also, is a custom kernel something worth looking into? Because if it could improve my phones performance, that would be neat too.
Looking forward to any help I can get, thanks!?

now i gotta reflash to stock and try another.
Any other suggestions for my snapdragon model?

You didn't follow corrections completely with stanglitre. It will work on all snapdragon s7's
Try the Ufirmware hybrid. I'm on that and get 40 hours battery life
Make sure you are turning on debugging blah blah blah

Did you get root on stock? Did Flashfire load and get root access? What step were you when you get bootloop?

Here's what I did.
I started with stock G930VVRU4BQH4 from updato
I rooted using PERMANENT ROOT method https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 EXCEPT and VERY IMPORTANT in "PERMANENT ROOT" I DONT USE "engineer-rooted boot image" < --Thats for MM, that will bootloop me.
INSTEAD for Nougat, I use "ENG-ROOT" file here --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-rooted-s7-nougatand-fixed-lag-t3576393
I Continue along the GUIDE: ROOT to install SU.
I Install Fashfire from Playstore.
I Go to stang5litre website for current ROM and instructions to flash.

I followed the instructions correctly, I rooted using that nougat eng boot and i used flashfire to wipe what the thread said, and i made sure the order was wipe, then rom flash, and when i hit the lightning bolt the phone restarted and i had a bunch of the white text, (what i assume is files being written to the system) and another reboot, the word flashfire is across the top of my screen for a good 3 mins, then a reboot and my s7 has the logo with the custom lock for custom firmware, and then it vibrates for like .2 seconds then reboots, then repeats to do that until i flash stock back.
I made sure to follow the steps correctly, but maybe I am doing something wrong...

Could the problem be that I flashed the rom from my internal SD? I downloaded it on my PC, since its like a gig, then uploaded it to google drive to download to my phone faster, and when i went to flash the rom i selected it from my internal storage/download. Should I move it to my external SD card? I think i read somewhere that i should have the firmware on my sd since the flashfire wipe clears the internal memory.

Alright I just flashed the rom again and it said it was installing and blah blah in flashfire and i thought it was going to work this time, but Im back in a bootloop. **** this rom, I'm so irritated. I followed the steps EXACTLY and put the .zip on my ext SD and im still getting bent.
Guess I have to try something else...

Sounds like you doing it right. last thing I can think to check... Did you get the "N" ROM from http://stang5litre-edition-roms.xobor.com/
or
The one posted for MM https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...t/stang5litre-edition-5-0-s7e-rom-s7-t3453441 see page 177 for "N Rom Is Live" link.
I'm out of ideas if all that checks out.
BTW I flash the ROM from Internal Storage too, I don't think thats the problem.

Not to sound mean, but if your looking for roms you should probably get a different phone. The few roms available to you are crippled by terrible battery life due to the engineer kernel. Stang's rom is good, but nothing can fix the battery. U firmware might be your best bet. Not trolling, just my opinion.

Is there a reliable tutorial to Root Galaxy S8 (exynos)??

Hi everyone, i'm looking for a tutorial to get root acces in galaxy S8 950f , i checked tutorials in youtube but many people get a brick , i was a victim , i could get twrp but the device couldn't mount data, so i flash to stock and the device came back to life. In that try i used the most recent version of the files, so i need your help to recommend a upgraded tutorial with the correct steps to avoid a similar situation:victory::fingers-crossed:
Thank you for your attention

If you can't mount the data partion you probably just need to to wipe it. Anyway just follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72004368&postcount=3

Flash twrp then flash root zip. Done your rooted

My first 10 or so attempts to root S8 ended in bricking the phone. I'm flashoholic and the first thing I do on every phone is twrp, root, custom Rom etc..... but S8 seemed to have some problem with this.
So I updated firmware to newest from Samsung firmware website (modem and bootloader too this way) in Odin.
Tried twrp. Done.
Tried to root. Done.
Flashed first custom Rom. Done!

Ignore all those video guides and just follow the guide from the TWRP thread. Yes wiping data means all your apps will be deleted. You can't get around this, and if you try to the device won't boot.
