I am getting a G530T Grand Prime today, and want to know if there is an easy way to root it. I've been reading several threads on it, some saying it can't be done, and others with long drawn out instructions (or barely any)
I have rooted my LG Optimus and my Google Nexus 7, both easily done. The LG was super easy with towelroot, can this be used on the Samsung?
My whole reason for rooting is de-bloating and ad blocking, plus I edit permissions on apps, etc. no serious dev work or customizations.
Thank you for any help, and have a great day!
If you have a PC its extremely easy. If you have a PC and don't care about Knox, go to this link. Follow the steps, this is how I rooted my G530T.

Hi Guys,
It's been while since I rooted my phone or did any serious mods on my phone ... was waiting for the warranty of my S4 to run out!
Now that, that's over can you guys guide me on the following ....
(PS. Am Using the S4 (Indian latest August INU stock ROM from www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9500&pcode=INU#firmware
a) Which is the best and safest Root method for the i9500? I once used the CF-Root method here but then went back to stock as there were no serious work on custom ROMS back then.
b) Once rooted, can you'll guide me to a couple of custom ROMS to start with .... once I've gone through a few suggested ROMS I guess I'll be confident enough to explore the ocean .... remember it's I9500
c) I've heard (rather read on and of) about "Xposed". Would prefer if the ROM incorporates this and then a guide to where I can find the various bits a pieces of Xposed.
Looking forward to your assistance as I hope to go live with my new look phone from the 1st of October
Thanks & Cheers

Can someone atleast tell me if I can use the CF-root method and if that is the safest way to go about rooting?
Thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=root i9500
a. Sure its safe.
B. Just try it out for yourself
C. There is an entire section on xda dedicated to xposed. You can find everything you want there.
so I got a Galaxy s5 in august. The phone is awesome as is, but I really want it rooted. I tried towelroot, but that failed because my phone runs on kitkat 4.4.4. I then tried Odin3 v1.85 to attempt it. This didn't work either. What other things can I try?
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
For reply or more questions please register an account on XDA forums.
Stand by
Until then read carefully this thread: [HOW TO][ALL VARIANTS][19/11/ Gain root, custom recovery, prep for modding on your S5
Good luck
Hello,
Generally rooting a samsung device is fairly generic. However before I suggest a method I need to know the model number and variant of it you're using. Some devices have locked bootloaders which may require a different method to avoid damaging the device.
People, I've searching in web and I found out that a new version of Galaxy Grand Prime have been released, but this new one has Android Lollipop. Mobile spects are the same in both, except for the OS.
This mean that the ones that have G530~ version aren't getting Lollipop?
There is a video on Youtube of an unboxing, you can check it out
Good Luck!

OP seems to be referring to the above link. It appears Sprint is roling out the same device with lollipop for some $60-100 more than we paid Cricket to get it with KK during the initial release.

Hi, I was ready to install CWM Recovery on my Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G531H phone which I guess it is running Lollipop but I started reading about Lollipop.
Now I have a question. What is the problem if my phone is running Lollipop? I don't understand if could be a problem if I want to install CWM and then rooting it.
Are you so kind to tell me about this?
Can I use the same CWM files that is made for Prime SM-G530H?
Can I use the same files made for Prime SM-G530H if I want to root it? Or where I can get these file?
Of course all of these question don't need to be answered. I just need to figure it out what I need to do.
Thanks.

Dont know about CWM recovery..BUT..I'm sure..TWRP recovery and Root exploit must match to OS version..the files are not interchangable between OS versions..unless it just happens to work out that way in development..but that'd probably be a RARE case..
I ALWAYS update..AFTER know good TWRP and Root has been developed for the next update..before I step to the next OS version..
But..like my device here..came from the box with 5.1.1 THEN one is stuck with no TWRP or Root..at the mercy of development..
You may try to revert..to the OS..when all your files were compatable..and wait it out for the next development..

Hello,
Is there a way to root the Samsung Grand Prime G530W on Android 5.1.1?
I've try alot of one click root but none of them are working
Can someone help ?
Thanks
Sbougie
---------------------------------
As per the information i got from samsung this is the same phone as the G530T that was rooted in another thread.
Contiuniously looking.
I'm in the same boat, have been looking for a solution to this root for the past couple of months. To my knowledge the best solution would be looking to see if the lollipop 5.1.1 has been rooted for galaxy S6, as this phone has the same platform. Hopefully someone can give you more information and a possible route guide because I've tried to unroot this phone several times using different rom versions only to have to factory restore and being locked out multiple times. I've since stopped attempting and browse for answers from time to time. Wishful thinking may give us the right answer. Gl in your search if XDA is unhelpful.
I did it with this

Hi all,
First thing I am sorry if I broke any rule by opening this thread but it's to many thread in this forum and I have slow conection .
as the title I am looking for Note 4 Lollipop root (N910HXXU1COH4_N910HOJV1COH2) 1/9/2015 release
The only way I know it for root is (chain fire root) it is easy and fast.
there is a root file for 4.4.4 Kitkat , but Idon't think it will work ,and i think I will lose my Note if i use it.
so any help will be good.
thank you.

You must change the stock kernel, with custom kernel.
As the other poster said you need a custom/permissive kernel to root 5.1.1. Then again it has just been released so we'll probably have a decent root method soon enough. geiti94 had a root method which worked for the custom kernel/ROM but it had random reboots. I say this just to clarify that it is indeed possible. There's nothing really problematic about a custom kernel though if development is active.
Thank you guys ..
I am not sure what "custom kernel" mean ..
but look like it something I can change it without changing my frimwarw ? am I right ?
anyway I think I'll wait ChainFire to update the Root file .. Hoping it not take long time ..
Thank you again
