I have samsung grand prime sm-g530h but the screen is broken and I can't see a thing.
I want to see the phone on PC but to do that i have to turn on the usb debugging. After searching through the xda and google, I found out that I have to flash cwm recovery to use adb to turn on the usb debugging. So just to be sure and safe I'd like to know the following:
1- Do I have to unlock the bootloader to be able to flash cwm via odin and if yes how do i know that the bootloader is locked or unlocked ?
2- Is Odin 3.07 the right version for grand prime g530h ?
3- Should I back up the stock recovery and if yes what is the best method to do that with a broken screen ?
Thank you very much.

Still Im facing same issue
Which recovery are you using ? The one from Nick Verse won't work with the secure bootloader of the latest Mashmallow updates , when I tried i could not boot into recovery using that one ...
The one from this thread is working perfectly for me at the moment :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j500f-t3416960
Try the twrp made by ganesh varma.
1-in odin Untick Auto reboot option.
2-After flushing twrp by Odin, remove the battery and insert it again .
3- press volume up+ home+power button to go to twrt.
4- install supersu.zip
I had this issue on j5h but after doing that i could root my phone.
Thanks Guys for your help..
Dear Friends,
How to root Samsung galaxy grand prime g531f using adb and fastboot in Ubuntu using SuperSu?
Install SuperSu from sideload work?
Anybody have tried before?
Nope it will not work, Samsung devices contain something called "download" mode instead of fastboot mode.
Fastboot will not work on samsung devices to root your phone. you need Pre-Rooted firmware and odin
You know how to flash it?

send me screenshots. ill try to help you
Can i install any rom,recovery, with the help of stock recovery?
My device is not booting at all, it stock at galaxy s4 logo.
I can go to stock recovery & download mode
My pc & odin is not detecting my phone in download mode& recovery mode(I had changed about 10 data cables & 2 laptops windows 7,10 & all version of odin, I had tried installing every samsung drivers,kies, just every thing)
So plz help me out.
No, you can't.
And since your phone is not being detected, the only solution is to take it to a shop.
But if you can boot into odin or download mode then you have still a chance. Be sure you have a samsung driver to be able your computer and odin detect your phone
Is it possible the phone's USB port is damaged?
Today I was looking to install the lastest BP for the N910F wich is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=26346&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC
And after flashing it throug Odin with the phone in Download Mode and the Samsung Drivers installed, when the phone boots up it still with the old Bootloader
Maybe the problems is because of the way I'm trying to install or idk...
My Odin options:

Can't flash TWRP on my S5 SM G900F.
-Auto Reboot is unchecked on Odin.
-I've used Odin 3.07/3.09/3.10.
-Reactivation Lock is OFF
-USB debugging is checked.
-I've tried with TWRP (TAR obviously) 3.1 and 3.0.
Am I missing something?

Drivers are installed. I flashed a recovery on a Galaxy S3 not so long ago and everything went fine. That's the reason I posted this thread. I do not know what else to do.
On download mode there are some things like "Download mode secure" "CBS Enabled". It has something to do?
I also have the same problem.. followed every possible guide and no matter if I successfully flash with odin, heimdall or from twrp flash app as root.. when booting my S5 immediately into recovery with volup+home+pwr it will always show the old recovery and not twrp!! Is it readonly and just acting to be flashed or what?? Some carrier might have locked the recovery preventing flashing? It's a SM-G901F klte from swissmobile...
thnks for any answer/suggestion.
Your bootloader is unlocked right?
what do you mean with unlocked?
is there a way to verify it?
and most importantly to unlock it?
Just Uncheck Auto Reboot on Odin
No autoreboot of course i unchecked and do manuale Direct boot to recovery
Anyone knows how to check if the recovery partition is protected
i have the same problem please anyone can help?
I solved it by using a short usb cable, no usb3 ports, only usb2, maybe you try different ones on your laptop/pc, also avoid any hub in between. It's incredibly picky!
