I have the cricket variant of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime which I have rooted, installed SuperSU, and unlocked the boot loader (I think). But I don't see any custom recoveries available for my device. My question is there one available? If not what do I need to do to port TWRP to my device? I'm quite new to this type of thing and in dire need of some assistance.

So I Currently have an Xperia z and my girlfriend as A Galaxy S4 I337M , We plan of Switching phones between each others, But First I need some infos before making the Switch. I am Currently on a Rooted phone with Custom rom So I want to make sure that Once I switched to the S4 I will be able to do so I've hearded some S4 are bootloader locked and **** about knox.
So is there anyways to know if the phone will support root/flashing custom roms ?
Thank you
Canadian s4's come with unlocked bootloaders (no need to worry about safestrap). Root and install recovery as you will http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314494
I have a S5 Active G870a on AT&T which I need to replace due to cracked glass and a flaky charging port. No SD card or root are deal breakers, so I think I am going to stay with the S5 Active. While pricing, I found the G870f variant and have a couple of questions about it...
1. Is the bootloader unlocked on the G870f?
1a. If so, does that mean it can go with TWRP w/o safestrap?
2. Most ROMs specifically point to G870a, are there any issues with using them on G870f (with, maybe, an additional kernel flash)?
3. Is anyone using the G870f on AT&T? Any issues or thoughts?
Thank you very kindly.
Sorry that I can't answer most of your questions, but I have an G870F rooted and with the TWRP recovery installed (Intended for the S5). I'd be happy to know if I'd be able to use mods intended for the AT&T phone, as well. And what wouöd happen if I installed the cyanogen mod for S5..
I own an Samsung S5 Prime (SM-G906L) running on Android 6.0.1. At its age, yes it still works quite fast(S805+3gb ram).
Is there any way to unlock its bootloader? I can't literally do anything with it. I was planning to root and install a custom rom.
may want to check these types of threads out, I dont own this device nor have i played with it, but maybe some good info can be found here for you

I tried rooting the phone using cf auto root, etc but I came across some info that in order to root and install a custom rom, bootloader should be unlocked. And the thing is, I can't find any way to unlock it. It's really frustrating.
Up need this rn
Hello guys and gals. I want too root my Samsung Galaxy S8 (T-Mobile) and install TWRP on it, so that I can flash a custom rom. I have however read very negative things about people trying to modify their S8 devices and I am not sure it is as easy or safe as modifying my previous phone (The Nexus 6). I want to ask if it is currently safe, and if so, some reliable links to what I am looking for. Thanks.
You can't root the tmo s8 since it has a locked bootloader, you need the exynos s8.
I just been given a Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T536, think it may be Korean model. My question is what roms are compatible?
when i boot to recovery it shows samsung/matisse10wifikx/matisse10wifikx6.0.1/MMB29K/T536KXu1AQF1
how do you root?
It also came with a knox profile but it loads korean software. I want to disable or remove Knox.
This is my first samsung device, I have installed roms on my other devices but a noob with samsung and dont want to brick it.
any links you recommend for noob ?
Hello, I am a person with Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T536 living in Korea.
The Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T536 is a Korean model. The tablet has no custom ROM developed. Security updates from Samsung
Even though it's 2022, it continues to do so, but the Android version doesn't update it. So, when I tried to install a custom ROM, I found that the model does not have a custom ROM that can be installed, and even if there is, there is no TWRP Recovery required to install it.
So it must be considered impossible.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't use custom ROMs from SM-T536 and similar SM-T530.
SM-T530 and SM-T536 may be bricks due to different hardware
