[SOLVED] Rooting SM-G530FZ

Hi guys!
About 2 months ago I bought a new smartphone: Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530FZ G530FZXXU1AOA3. Now I want to root it. I know I'll loose the warranty and I'm worried about bricking it. Has anyone successfully rooted this phone? I find some tutorials using ODIN and autoroot zip files. But they were for SM-G530F/SM-G530H/SM-G530BT. I hope you'll help me! Thanks!

Hi there,
I have SM-530FZ too, and I wait for answer too. But i think I will try to root this model. The only question I have is if root from there: autoroot.chainfire.eu "SM-G530F - KTU84P.G530FXXU1ANK2 - 4.4.4 will be good for this model.

Yes, it works correctly. Download root to SM-G530F. Zip file includes Odin and root.

Thank you, Kubolini! I'll try it!

There is no bootloop or something else? I read that some poeple have problems after that bootloop or everytime tehey restart phone phone enter in recovery mode.
Sorry for my bad english.

Don't worry about your English! I can understand! Now let's talk about our problem. Even 2 phones have the same name (G530FZ), the can have different baseband version (G530FZXXU1AOA3 for my Grand Prime).

Yes, I think so. Good luck! I'm waiting for the final answer!

Ok, few things. After root, i have one problem. If I want to restart my phone, android first show samsung screen with "Set Warranty Bit: recovery" and then load recovery. I dont know why. I must hit reboot system now in recovery, and then android load normally. So I decided to remove root in SuperSU. SuperSU remove root, but doesnt solved my problem. So i think i must hard reset my phone or download new rom.

I read in some post that after that you must celar cache & partition and dalvik cache and then everything works well.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
I tried on my 530fz and it works! Yeah!!!

Yea, Kingroot works perfectly. But i still have a same problem with recovery after reboot. I clear everything, I install new recovery and clean everything again. I disable KNOX with Kingroot and it still open recovery after reboot. Any solutions?

[Q] S5 Active Advice required please

Hi Folks
My partner has just got the S5 Active and she loves it..
But now she would like to update from 4.4.2.. Phone says she has latest rom so my questions are this
1)What is the latest official rom for the Active?
2)Whats the BEST root method?
3)What Custom roms are suitable?
3)Finally what is the best route to take to flash a CUSTOM rom?
looking forward to your responses
regards
Lohtse

1) Here you can find the latest TW stock rom:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Android Lollipop is available for the S5 Active. You can download the latest Firmware and flash it via Odin. You don't need root for that.
2) My preferred root method is flashing CF auto root via Odin. After that I install another recovery like TWRP
3) Nobody can answer that. Try and find it out (perform a full wipe incl cache before you install a custom rom)
4) This steps: root, recovery, full wipe, custom rom, and at least if you want and need that: custom kernel

Thank you for the help...
finally got it sorted after reading around 9-10 different guides... all of which had little bits missing
now she's a happy bunny with LP on her Active and I'm a tired old fart with droopy eyes!!!!!
Just need a custom recovery now!!

Congratulations! How you solved it?
Yeah recovery is the same problem. It exists no recovery for the G870A

Two things that I found that allowed me to sort the Active which was mentioned
firstly to allow Flashfire to work you had too set clock back past 1/15/15
and you had to also set flashfire to boot into download to allow you to flash the G870A_OC5_Bootloader.tar.md5 file via Odin on the pc.. once I did these it worked...
Just depends which guide you read to find a COMPLETE one....

Damn that sounds very tricky

Not really just no two guides the same.... soon as I noticed the minor differences it was easy.
1) root with towel root copy stock LP(rooted version)
2) Install and set date to 1/1/15 then open Flashfire
3)Flash Stock rooted LP using flashfire making sure you have flashfire set to boot to download when finished
4) open Odin PC and connect S5Active
5)Point Opins AP slot to location of the G870A_OC5_Bootloader.tar.md5 file
6) Flash and reboot and your done...
MAJOR issue was the flashfire issue once found issue and set it as stated above I was Up and running after 10minutes Just had spent 4 hours failing before I notice and figured out what the issues was...
Simple really.... Well it was in the end lol

Note 4 (SM-N910P) Q15 firmware boot loops on welcome screen.

Hi guys,
I was able to flash Q15 rom N910PVPU5DQI5 via odin. Successful boot at first and I perform factory reset in Settings > Backup and reset > Factory data reset. After that it boot loops starting at welcome screen.

Fixes I tried:
- wipe cache/ factory reset from stock recovery and flash Q15 rom same issue. Can't flash any other roms maybe because of bootloader image 5.
- flash TWRP, wipe data, cache from there and flash Q15, wipe data, cache again from stock recovery same issue.
- soft reset, safe mode, charge for 10-15 mins then boot same issue.
Thinking of switching to custom roms but I need a non-rooted phone. What else can I do? Please help.
Thanks,

Been able to flash lineage os 14 via TWRP. Everything seems fine except with network signal. No signal at all. Should I flash baseband for my region?

Re-download the firmware. And do a full wipe... 3 times

Yes it is possible and has been for some time now. There is a rooted ROM based on stock.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no.../rom-15nov2017-stock-ish-plustidbits-t3705395
There are also several ROMs that will work with the firmware QI5 even though the OP says otherwise if you just look here:

Thank you very much. that rom works but i cant send messages. as i see you have the same phone i would ask you, is there a way to root with magisk?
and another question, will this rom work: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-updated-1-14-2017-t3538051 ??? looks very good !!.

1. Can't send messages?
The stock tidbits works out of box.. never had any issue with sending messages. Actually nvr had that issue with any of the ROMs listed except while they were in early stages but most of them are way past that.
Stock with tidbits works.. The UN7 Rom works also... Even the AOSP ROMs work. If you are having an issue with a ROM ask your question and let it be known in that Rom's thread.
The UN7 ROM I've seen a few have that issue but the fix is in the thread.. in fact there are fixes in the OP. UN7 has the ROM file & another one you flash after that which flashes updates. You gonna have to take the time to search the thread and read.
Magisk?... The ROM itself will flash that for you... (The 2nd file asks you this question during install)
Aside from this if you try other ROMs for the general Snapdragon Note 4 (yes there is a thread for that too) you could use a data fix by tx_dbs_tx
Long story short... look in the thread for your answers. Magisk has worked for awhile now. Now version 18 or 18.1 both work on Lineage OS which is what I am using now. Didn't even have to use any data fix file either.

What\How to flash custom recovery for custom rom on s8 950f

Hello everyone
I have been enjoying my phone for a while along with my old S6 which had a ton of mods.
Ever since I sold my old phone, I can't help but miss features like viper4android and other magisk goodies that I used to have.
After the pie update which broke the bluetooth function I downgraded my phone back to oreo using odin and original fw.
I have been looking for a complete way to install a custom recovery (twrp) and use the phone with custom roms, but i have not found any complete guide yet.
Can someone point me to a existing guide or just tell me what files I have to use.

Hey. Its not that hard and you already know the process. Go and try renovation ice . I am using it from a month and nothings better then it . The speed, the battery timing and tweaks are all amazing. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ovate-ice-g950-g955-android-7-0-aqdg-t3598040
For installing a custom rom you need a custom recovery so flash twrp using odin .https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/guide-how-to-install-twrp-root-galaxy-t3752480
And While flashing renovation ice dont remove your system apps and dont do tweaks while flashing renovation ice there will be options for tweaks and removing apps but dont use them because when i did that my phone just bootloop and the next time i tried to flash it without using any advance options and then it was successful. On the first boot it may be slow or dont boot dont do anything let id do that wait and then it be all fine . I hope may this helps you and the rom is already rooted with magisk if not then tell me . I give you the link to flash super su .
Stay blessed?

Thank you for the response. I already flashed hadesrom. I knew the process, had several samsung's before and older phones as well, I was only unsure about the rmm issues and did not want to lock my bootloader.

Galaxy S8 Fails to Flash Firmware In Odin 3.13

I'm trying to downgrade the software in the S8 to android 7 so that I can root it (root methods that I tried for android 9 haven't worked) and when in Odin, the original software fails to flash, I've tried a couple different AP files for my model and they all fail. Any suggestions?
Any help is appreciated.

It fails because you cannot downgrade bootloader, hence the Odin fail at boot.img. you must flash the current or newer BL unfortunately. Have you tried to flash twrp + magisk for root?

About that, my s8+ keeps booting, I been trying to install TWRP but odin fails with sha256 error. Try again with the patched version, no sha error this time, but fails at recovery.img. Soo no twrp, any idea how to get rid of the fail?

The effort put forth by Extreme Syndicate is great except some of the disclaimers aren't promising.
This method will work if you are on Android 9 Pie but will put you on Android 7 nougat. There is no root for Android 9 Pie
You will not be able to use normal magisk
You will not be able to flash custom rom like Lineage or any other AOSP roms
You cannot flash custom boot images or recovery images such as TWRP
The whole reason to root, in my case - any way, is to put a custom recovery on such as TWRP and then flash a custom ROM to get rid of the **** Samsung provides.

In my case, I just downgrade to 7 nougat rom, then couldn't do much, so I got to think. I just wanted to revived this sucker!
Plug it back to odin and reinstall the lastest firmware from sammobile.
I'm not an expert on any of this, but like a said just bringing back this sucker, im in peace.

I can't stand Samsung's software so I'm "glad" in the sense that I bought the phone for experimenting and not to use on a daily basis because if I had to use One UI daily I'd descend into madness over how much I can't stand it.
Having said that, attempting to root it, put a custom recovery and rom on it are very frustrating tasks when Samsung's Knox and other code gets in the way to the point of everything in Odin failing.
"Food for thought" - How can your device be "your" device when it clearly and evidently locks you out of doing whatever you want on it?
I'm not sure if there is a community for anti-bloatware but if there is I'm just as much a part of it as I am with right to repair.

Hi
I have a s8 sn-g50f on pie.
I want downgrade to stock rom 8.0
I try with latest odin 3.141 but is fail after 1 sec.
Wich excat fw i must dowload?
