hello guys im quite new with this samsung grand prime (Im interested in knowing how to root it also,kindly help me good people ) i kept checking system update but it says phone is up to date ??
is there any new update for it ?? my phone is very laggy, is there anything i can do ? i uninstalled some apps,but is there another way for it ??
Android version 5.1. 1
Kernel Version : 3.0.8
Model number SM-G531H
help me guys im new with it
The Kernel version you mentioned is wrong. Secondly if it's saying that it'll be upto date as for your region.
Search in the threads you'll find the TWRP recovery for this variant, flash it nd flash the supersu. After that debloat your rom nd take a backup of data, factory reset the device completely nd now you're good to go.

I have the note , recently I rooted it and got cm ,for some reason I cant get into (before ) the factory recovery ,it would not let me in , I went ahead and ran odin and got clockword mod 5 running , but I am at a loss , starting with the NOte in 4th quarter closing in on overtime and there so much info ,I dont really know where to start!
Ive been doing Android for awhile and pretty comfortable with my Acer Tablet ,but this seems like a whole new language and I really dont know where to start , yes I have Root (super SU.0.95 ) and CM , heres what my phone says :
Model Number:
samsung-sgh-I717
Android Version:
4.04
Baseband Version
I717UCLF6
Kernel Version:
3.08
Build Number:
IMM76D.UCLF6
does this tell you guys anything ? Where do I go from here ? Do I need to go back to the beginning? Start over , Im game , but it seems like theres 50 million different ways ,and million different ways to get there? Its not like in the Acer a500 ,theres a few ways and fairly simple ways at that even adb !
Please anyone , can you start me off and send me in the right direction ? I want to be in JB , I dont even know how to tell what kernel I have or need ? Baby step me ,please , I must be losing my mind..................
wrong forum.. you have a i717 and this is a n7000 forum look for at&t one that's where you have to start from

Hello ..
I am getting my Grand 2 today.
I am familiar with flashing, rooting, backing up, etc ..
I have done this all before with my Galaxy S3 ..
but, its been awhile ..
so, I have a few questions about the order in which to do things.
Here is to order I am planning on doing things .. is this correct?
I think my Grand 2 will have Android 4.3 out of the box. so ..
1st ... I will upgrade to 4.4 via Kies
2nd ... I will root using Odin .. and the CF method
3rd ... I will load SuperUser and BusyBox from the Play store
4rth ... I will flash CWM
(can I just get this from Play store? I have purchased the touch recovery previously and am used to the layout)
5th ... I will back up the Stock 4.4 Rom ..
and that's it ..
Is this the correct order to do things?
Should I make a recovery using the Stock Recovery before I root?
Or should I (can I) download CWM from the Play store and then make a recovery image? ..
Thank You for your help ..
I know all this is covered in various threads through out this forum ..
and I have read/bookmarked them all .. but, want to just verify that I am on the right track
THANK YOU
Before everything Have the firmware downloaded ! If u have the firmware in ur hands and if u know how to flash it then u don't need to worry abt anything and unlike s3 grand 2 doesn't have Flash counters

First of all as Sanjuujosephh said you should download a firmware and then if you are rooting with CF root then there is no need to download supersu from play store . You can't get CWM from play store coz it is not available officially here's a link to unofficial CWM

Thank you for the clarification.
I have your link bookmarked and that is EXACTLY the kind of information I was needing

No this only works for phones which have official CWM recovery our phone doesn't have any ...and again i recommend downloading a firmware if you live in india then here's the link to latest firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/general/stock-firmware-grand-2-google-drive-t2849501
And if you don't then you can request your firmware here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/general/request-firmware-t2884198
Edit :- these are links for resumable download you can download them from www.sammobile.com
I did not know about the "official/unofficial" CWM issue.
Many people recommend Philz Recovery instead ..
can anyone point me in the right direction for the correct zip for Philz?
I found a link for Philz recovery for 4.3 ...
would that work for 4.4?
My country is not listed on the SamMobile site ..
I am off to get the phone now ..
I will check the PDA and CSC versions when I get the phone . .
hopefully I will find a match ..
also .. I see some of the versions are listed .. 4.2.2, 4.4.2, 4.4.4 ... etc ..
I am assuming I will need to use the correct version as well ?
...
Unfortunately I don't know about philz recovery coz i haven't used it personally but if you want then..Here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53747111&postcount=3
And the latest version is 4.4.2 and build NH6 (in INDIA ) i can't tell about your country bcoz you still haven't mentioned it...

Hello,
I am new member so excuse me if I put the topic in the wrong place or I repeat the same questions.
Anyway, I have note 3 neo (N750) and I rooted it with CF-AUTO but I didn't know that I need to look at the version of the phone ( mine is 4.3 ) ! But it worked so I think it was the right version.
I forced problems :
SuperSU won't be updated and it say that KNOX detected and when I want to disable it " disabling failed " !!
I bored. So, I uprooted the device and wiped the cache of partition + wiped data/factory rest.
After doing that, SuperSU updated and KNOX disabled !!!!
I decided to Rooted again but this time by your advice expert
But before that I want to update the device because I see a lot of people on the Internet have note 3 neo with 4.4.2 ! But mine is 4.3 ! So how to update it ? The device status is custom so I can't updated ! How to get it back to normal ? Flash the stock ? How to find the stock one for my device ? I am from Bahrain ( Middle East )
Model number SM-N750
Android version 4.3
Baseband version N750XXUBNG3
Kernel version 3439-2477732 [email protected]#1 Fri Jul 18 18:40:38 KST 2014
Build number JSS15J.N750XXUBNG3
SE for Android status Enforcing SEPF SM-N750 4.3 0021
And what is the best program to root with ?
Execute me guys, but I am new at the android world ( noob :$ )

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!
http://www.cnet.com/news/sprint-sells-samsung-galaxy-grand-prime/
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.
i have g531h that
s awsome greate
cpu 1.3
Android 5.1.1

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..

If you dont find twrp you can use flashfire after root :good:
TWRP doesn't just magically pop up for your device... you do understand that someone actually has to download the TWRP source, write some code and compile it for the device right? Of course, you could go ahead and do it yourself (there are several posts on how to build a custom ROM/recovery).
