Hey guys, could anyone tell me how I can install the latest stock firmware if i only have TWRP, Xposed and Zubis sound mod installed. Is this possible without factory reseting and/or formating the phone completely? Thankful for answer.
Plase help i have grand prime G530H running stock kitkat then i upgraded to 5.0.2 lollipop russian firmware G530XXU2BPB2 to install custom rom, i installed twrp and custom rom with no problems, now running latest RR Rom, since 5.0.2 lollipop i didnt login to any google account, my question is if i login to google account using RR / Custom roms, is there a chance to block custom binary frp after reboot? I read some threads about custom frp, it is said that need to enable oem unlock but after upgrading to lollipop firmware there is no oem unlock on dev options.

FRP lock will not trigger if you login to your Google account. If the frp lock was triggered it would ask you to login to your Google account that you had on your stock ROM at the beginning anyway. So it's absolutely safe to login to Google account.
FRP lock only triggers if you tried to wipe data and cache from stock recovery while having a pin or password protected Device. The phone won't let you boot.

Thanks for the feedback, i mean custom binary blocked by frp red text on boot screen like bricked and refuses to boot, if installed root or flashed twrp on odin, but nevermind.. sorry for the noob question, my bad... i've found that custom binary error only present in protected or locked bootloader, so it need to enable oem unlock in dev options before installing root/twrp, other GP variants haa protected bootloader, while g530x variant has already unlocked bootloader so no oem unlock in dev options in settings, its safe to install root/twrp/custom.

Looks like you found out your answer.
Just to let you know, it's not impossible to get a frp lock in G530H. Yes I know it's a common case in devices like G531H (Value Edition) or some carrier phones which has locked bootloaders. But I even heard some cases of frp lock in g530h due to some failure while flashing firmware from Odin. But it still should not effect you. As you were able to install custom ROM.. so your safe .
Hello
Was running lineage 14.1 OS (moto X play) and flashed stock 6.0.1 image. Didn't flash gpt or bootloader files because downgrading from 7.1.2 to 6.0.2. but after flashing remaining and successfully booting into 6.0.1, I am unable to bypass the Google prompt to sign in (this device has been reset - sign in with an account used previously on this device). I am the original and only owner - if I flash back LOS 14.1, then I can go through the setup just fine and bypass Google sign in or sign in with a new account.
I suspect the downgrade has old Google play services or something related. Not sure how to work around that.
I can't find a more recent version of stock firmware for Canada than the 6.0.1 to get newer files
Can I flash an "stock firmware" 7.1 ROM as an alternative?
Any ideas
Hi! I have flashed successfully a stock rom of Android 5.1.1 on this device (SM-G531M) using the latest Odin. I enabled the developer options and then OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. Flashed TWRP, everything great. Once TWRP was on my device I installed Magisk following the instructions and no problem. So having root access and TWRP on my phone, really happy that no problems came up on the way, I decide to log into my Google account to update and get some apps and here is when the problems appear. I checked that OEM Unlock is still on and reboot my phone to find that FRP is on and can't boot because of root (can't get in recovery either because TWRP is not the stock recovery), so I flash the device again with the stock rom and find out that I can't remove FRP lock to flash TWRP again. I try removing my google account and FRP is off, so I have to choose:
a) root access and TWRP recovery or
b) Google Account and get new apps or update the ones I have.
Nowhere I looked I could find any answer or anyone having this issue. Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong? I really have no idea why this happens, is a Google update that does this to everyone or what's going on?
Thanks in advance!
i have a corp account that needs device to be encrypted.
I have installed sac23 v7 rom and loving the rom in every way expect the issue with encryption.
can someone please guide as how to enable encryption back in this rom?
thanks.
