SM-G530AZ Rooted With Kingroot &Stock Kernel Method, No Recoveries Work

Hello, I have a Galaxy Grand Prime (Cricket branded) (SM-G530AZ), and I rooted using kingroot, then flash a stock kernel with Flashify, but I cannot install ANY custom recoveries whether it be with Flashify, Rashr, or even ODIN On PC Secure Check Fail: XXXXX and remote controls/reactivation lock are off), I've tried ones for the SM-G530AZ (Very hard to find) The SM-G530H (Grand Prime DUOS I believe?) and SM-G530FZ (Not sure) If anyone can help me out, any custom recovery will work. Also, if possible, at the moment, my device is doing the "Security Error yaddayaddayadda Contact Mobile Operator, saying RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING and then SECURE FAIL: RECOVERY, and this happened with TWRP for 530H, so I just flashed stock recovery that i backed up with Flashify, and then i tried CWM, which auto loads upon boot, So if somebody could please provide me with an unmodified SM-G530AZ file, that would be swell.
TL;DR: Need help trying to flash a recovery after kingroot & stock kernel method and need an unmodified stock G530AZ recovery file.
Thanks a ton in advance.
Sincerely,
Austin
Edit: Decided to do Firmware Initialization, wish I would of had a backup :/ Samsung phones are usually easy to fix when not hard bricked, Just use Kies! xP

there is no working recovery for the SM-G530AZ yet, recovery for other models wont work. Think there is gonna be a recovery released pretty soon for this model.

Well, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this model will never get a custom recover, there is no way to oem unlock. Only thing you can do, is flash the de-bloated stock rom floating around here.

Can't Root & Install CWM Recovery on Samsung Note 4

Hi Guys
I believe you guys on here will be able to help. Let me first tell you about my device and what I want to do and then what I did and what problems I encountered.
Device: Samsung Note 4 International Model SM-N910H (Exynos CPU)
OS: 6.0.1
Build Number: MMB29K.N910HXXU2DPE2
I only want to root my device and install Custom Recovery like CWM. I don't want to install a Custom ROM!
So I downloaded CF-Auto-Root-tre3g-tre3gxx-smn910h.tar.md5 and used Odin 3.12 to flash tar file to phone. After that phone rebooted and got stuck into the "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" Screen displaying in red letters on top left Corner "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing"
So I downloaded CWM Recovery v6.0.3.6.tar and flashed with Odin again, this time the phone rebooted back into my Working Phone OS and all seems fine. SO I wanted to test if CWM is installed? Powered phone down and booted into recovery & then got the same "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message on screen, so rebooted phone normally and it goes back into the OS. Also SuperU is not installed and phone is not rooted
So how do I solve this issue getting a Custom Recovery on my Phone Since I don't have any Recovery Mode option when booting into recovery. Your help, effort and time will be appreciated

Try again your steps and using odin both times make sure reboot is not ticked. After the flash pull the battery. There is a remark about that somewhere.
I had the same problem with my n9100 and at the end flashed custom rom to solve this. But my phone is slightly different to yours.

Thanks a mil, however I did manage to fix the issue and still wanted to resolve this post. I downloaded SuperU Beta 2.74 and different version of CWM. Installed CWM 6.0.5.1 (1113).tar with Odin 3.10.7 and it worked installing CWM Recovery. Then installed the SuperU 2.74 with CWM and everything works great. Phone now rooted and CWM installed :good::victory::victory:

I have the n9100 as well with the hong kong rom. I'm having the same problem while trying to root with cf-autoroot. I really want to root the phone while keeping the stock rom.
Is there any way to do so??

Kingroot is always bad for your device.
1) Flash your firmware in the AP slot of Odin.(Using one from sammobile.com is recommended and flashing firmware does not overwrite your data.)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G360H/
2) Flash this TWRP here in Odin (AP slot):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=65386115
3) Flash the SuperSU installable zip(not the app) to root from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=68475511
(By the way, before rooting by any method, make sure "OEM Unlocking" is switched on in Developer Options in Settings or you will likely trip Factory Reset Protection in your device and get locked out, though this is also fixable.)
4) Never select "Reboot to Recovery" from anywhere on your Core Prime device. It will cause a recovery loop.

Odin does not detect my mobile. I have download usb drivers also.

Which TWRP are you trying to flash?
If it is the latest version, then try an older one.
Alternatively, you can try to root your phone first with CF-Auto-Root and Odin (just Google CF-Auto-Root S4) then use an app to flash the TWRP .img file.
That's how I did it, because I was also unsuccessful in flashing TWRP with Odin.

I was using TWRP 3.0.2...
...tried with version 3.0.1 and I was able to enter in TWRP Recovery mode but after swiping the phone I'm no more able to access recovery mode neither by reflashing TWRP.
Any idea?

The app method worked. Auto root ok. Twrp flashed ok. HTC 6 installed... it's more than one hour in the booting screen (devconnect aosp 6.0 screen)... I don't think it's a normal behaviour... do I have to keep on waiting? Do You have any suggestion?

[HELP] Note 4 boot loop after installing TWRP recovery (possibly soft brick?)

I have Note 4 model N910H firmware 5.1.1 and I rooted it using chainfire method. I checked using root checker and it says my phone was rooted properly. So I install TWRP latest recovery using flashify. The phone rebooted to recovery mode fine but it says that my phone not rooted so I'm confused and I let TWRP rooted it again. After that I reboot to system and I can't enter it instead it was stuck looping samsung and android logo.
So, what can I do? I can enter TWRP recovery and download mode. I know I can flash it to stock 5.1.1 but I dont know what version to use from SamMobile (XID/XSE, I'm from Indonesia) and there's different PDA/CSC version. So if I just pick one of them and flash it to my phone will it be okay? I want to avoid flashing to be honest because the rom size is so big so is there's a way to fix it without flashing?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
