SM-G530T1 Stock or Cutstom ROM

Okay, I have a Samsung Galaxy Prime with Metro PCS. I was just texting the other day and then my phone reset and I got a black screen saying Blocked by Binary FTP. So yes i made the mistake of bricking my phone and flashing the T-Mobiles SM-G530T firmware. I've looked everywhere for the Stock Rom but can't find it and not sure if there are any Customer Roms for this device. Can someone get me going in the right direction or am i best with just sendng it back to Samsung and letting them flash it?

same boat

I know it says "Core Prime" but I assure you its the Grand Prime SM-G530T Stock. it's just a little typo.
It is the T-Mobile version but compatible with MetroPCS 100%. Metro PCS is under T-Mobile in the first place, pretty much the same thing except for the Start-Up & the apps. But it works! & the developer(s) that made the package did an amazing job!
If anyone needs further info feel free to contact me! I would be happy to assist in any way possible.

so i bought this phone about 3 months ago (SM-G530T1) and i bricked it 3 days after i bought it by installing busybox un-rooted. still not sure how that happened but that is not the point, the point is i flashed the only stock firmware i could find (at the time) and it just so happened to be a mis-marked T-mobile firmware package. i didn't let it bother me though and continued to gain root and flashed ShinySides [AOF8]. It worked like a charm! I was just running T-mobile FW on a MetroPCS phone and it just got confusing if you have to call costomer service lol. so i made sure it worked in every way and removed all the bloatware. the only problem i had was with the hotspot feature, it had a mind of its own and that got annoying but i dont really use it that often so i could live with that. the phone was a champ! so i went to find a recovery or twrp. i was looking and found TWRP 2.8.7.0...it was not for the SM-G530T1 but it sorta worked and when i say sorta i mean it does pretty much everything you want it to do except BACK UP FILES! Lol! (at least for me anyways) so i ran that with the T-Mobile software for a few months until lastnight... see I didnt know about the failure to back up my files issue so you have to understand that i fully expected the TWRP Backup files to work and last night when i went to restore one of the BUps it informed me that i had no OS anymore !! oh man i wanted to puke! Upon further inspection i realized that it was only backing up about 20% of my system only and i should have noticed but i didn't expect that and that is how we learn the difference between knowledge and wisdom right? OK so at that point i had a bricked phone (MY DAILY DRIVER i might add) and i was not to happy to lose all my personal info either, so i went back on XDA to see what i could do. i was very pleased to see that there was now a working MetroPCS Package compliments of TSAR3000 and I went to work. I flashed it via Oden and was happy to see the familiar MetrPCS logo again, but i needed to re-root it so i used the ShinySides [AOF8] just to see if it would worked with the metro Firmware and it did! it trips KNOX but i could care less cause i dont want that crap anyways and i get rid of it right away lol. I debated if i sould put this next part in the message but i decided i would because people should be weary of programs and roots applications and remember that this is the true reason we root and unlock our phones to begin with... so Im not a paranoid person by nature but i dont trust King root or any of those one click apps companies because of some article i read a while back about how the Chinese root apps and downloads could possibly contain spyware but i never found any truth to it but from what i do know about the Chinese government i dont take the chance but its my opinion and i like the good old fashion (though a little more involved) flashing of SuperSU or whatever you like. So yes if you want to use ShinySides root procedure do it cause it works with metro just fine. Good luck.

Put the file in AP slot and the metro pit file in the box marked pit and start. And in about 4 or 5 min your phone will reboot and the if you want root and recovery flash Mr Sunnyside's trap kernel AOF8 then after that flash recovery TWRP SM-G530H it's the one recovery I've been able to find that works.. Good luck

i wish someone would have been kind to me and gave me this little rundown when i started rooting my phones way back in the day. direct and to the point good job! anyways i hope there is no issues... i dont see why there would be since i have been running this exact recipe for 7 days and i must say its a rare moment in the phone modifying world when you can say "perfect" this is one of those times... now if we could only get some rom up in here it would really be awesome. hey i jus want to warn you about that TWRP your about to use. i know it to have bugs personally.... the main issue is that it doesnt back up your Data Boot Or recovery or Cache LOL, but everything else works fine so far. it will however back up about 20% of your system and shut of LOL (Basically just enough to add insult to injury) so my advice is use it cause its the best we have but BACKUP SOMEWHERE ELSE! just use the TWRP to flash or do the little weird TWRP things you gotta do K? Good luck!

SM-G530T1
I'm new to this forum. I've soft bricked my Grand Prime, flashed it, put a custom Rom on it and installed TWRP. What I'm trying to do is find the device tree specifically for this phone. If there isn't, how would I go ahead and build it from scratch?

need Advie

Hi all, this is my first post so I hope that I am in the place. I was wondering if someone could give me some advise or point me in the right direction.
I have a Samsung S5 SM-G900v, but it is not on Verizon plan. I bought it from the Verizon Store and then subscribed to straight talk. I have called Samsung, Straight Talk and Verizon trying to get some answers and have had no luck.
My menu doesn't corralate with what anyone tells me that it should be, ex; there is no menu to turn my caller ID on or off. So I called St and they said that I should call Verizon, so I called verizon. They could not explain it because my phone is no longer under control by Verizon. They claim that when the released to Straight Talk , the only one that can change or control anything on the phone would be Straight Talk. Verizon doesn't even have any record of the phone because it has been released from there responsibility. So I called ST and explained what Verizon told me. Straight Talk said that they had no idea of what the problem could be, and told me to contact Samsung. I called Samsung and they said that they could not help me because they sold it to Verizon. While I had them on the phone I asked them about the FM radio that was supposed to be in it, and that it didn't work. The confirmed to me that the S5 does have a FM radio on board but Verizon has it disabled. Well .... Samsung sat they can't help me because they sold the phone to Verizon, Verizon says they no longer has a y record of the phone and no longer has access to it, Straight Talk has no clue ! So where do I go next ?
Does this mean that the boot loader is not locked because Verizon has released the phone to Straight Talk. Can it be rooted know ? I want to do something so I have some control of the phone that I paid for! I have all kinds of apps that Verizon has installed that I can not get off and can't use them because I don't get my service from Verizon. At last count, I think I counted 25 apps that I don't use and can't get off the phone. I can't even disable them, the disable button is greed out,but the keep updating ?
I am lost here. I don't know if this phone is rootable or not, is the bootloader locked ? I don't really want to loose android Marshmallow because it runs better than it did on lollipop, but what time do? If I can root it, can it be a rooted marshmallow or do I have to stay down graded?
Any advise or pointers would greatly be appreciated. Sorry for the bandwidth but you should see the steam coming from my ears !
Thanks for taking the time to read my post?

Try to root with KingRoot. If KingRoot failed then you can go for chainfire's systemless root method. It is in experimental stage.
You need custom recovery installed on your android. Flash Beta SuperSU.zip in recovery that patch your boot image while installing and install SuperSU app.

Thank you so much for responding Ashwinrg. I will go look up the apps, read how to use them properly and I will respond back here to let everyone know how things went. I can not express enough ,how much that I appreciate your input and expertise.
I must also apologize for my lack of proof reading my last post before I posted it. It will not happen again. But I just want to apologize to everyone for my lack of awareness. I post, asking for help and everyone has try to figure out what I am asking because of poor spelling that didn't make any since. Again,
I apologize.
Ashwinrg, thank you again! I greatly appreciate your time.

Sorry to bother you Ashwinrg, but Kingroot did not work so I downloaded what was suppose to be Chainfires system less root, but when I went to the file is was called BETA-SUPERSU v2.79 .zip. Does anyone have a good url to download Chainfires system less root so I can root the phone, then I can put a custom recovery on.

Okay man look, things you need
*Access to PC.
*Download whatever Odin version above v3.09 that you would like.
*Download the custom recovery .tar.md5 file for flashing thru ODIN (TWRP, or whatever is available),
then load the recovery file in ODIN under the AP slot, uncheck the F. Reset Time option,
& then go into download mode, flash it,
boot into your new custom recovery, flash the supersu.zip file you already have thru the recovery,
enjoy.

Thank you LilAnt530, but no joy! I followed your instructions and Odin says failed, so maybe Verizon released the phone but did they unlock the bootloader? I guess it might be time to say to hell with it! This phone has been a bad nomer ever since I bought it. You just can't do anything with it. Sometimes I wonder why do I even need a smartphone, I got by the first 65 years of my life without need for one, why now. I've spent the last 3-4 months trying to find answers and I am no farther along now then I was.
Many many thanks to you and Ashwinrg for your help and expertise.

Lol no worries bro! May I suggest a new device? Haha, I feel your pain as I have a stack of "Locked" phones like your s5 that just wont give in to anything.
So i found this http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...s5-root-latest-firmwares-oe1-og5-ok3-pb1.html
And I know it only applies to the pre-marshmallow firmwares, but you could realistically only flash the bootloader from the LP firmware, add on the unlock + recovery, boot into the recovery, flash root on, then boot back out to Odin mode, reflash the locked MM bootloader then maybe run the safestrap.apk from previous thread?
The good news is it can be unlocked on previous firmwares, so if you want to root just need to downgrade that piece (bootloader) that is locked

Really, well let me go do some reading. I will see if I can find what I need, and understand the directions. If so, I will root this puppy. At this point, it is more or less to root just to beat Big Red. I will get back to you. Thanks dude, I appreciate your help and direction.

Ok, I read everything and seems to be fairly straight forward and with tips if something goes wrong. But it doesn't unlock the bootloader. I tried to find the sticky that was mentioned in that post but all I found was a post that says a S5 with the Toshiba chip can not be unlocked. My phone has the Toshiba chip .
Am I correct ? If I am correct I shouldn't flash marshmallow after it is rooted or I may have to get a new phone. Lol I am going to keep looking to see if I can find the post that was mentioned.

Well the general belief on my end was once you were rooted they would have a custom Marshmallow ROM somewhere around.
But yea definitely think everything out before you get TOO deep, Im going to also track down the ridiculous manual root method, I've gotten 2 ZTE offhand phones to cross over using it.
Just trying to get one in on Verizon for my dead LG Lucid haha.
Apps that will be of help,
A terminal emulator
Any from the store will do
Busybox (it can sometimes be used without root)
Also take a dive into Magisk, as they have developed a systemless interface that has broken through touchwiz encryption for me on this s6 edge+ and gotten supersu into my system apps

That may possibly help you, but I figure stock Samsung ROMs might make it difficult.
Make sure to grab a root file browser
Like Root File Browser lol

Well , I decided to root the phone but no joy. I followed the instructions to a tee, and got the phone back to lollipop but it still will not root. King root say something like no more avenues or something along those lines. I'll bet a hammer could root this thing . LOL I never had a problem with any of the pro0cesses until the root, that was a no go. But I do have lollipop on my phone. Any ideas or tips or maybe a steer in the right direction ?

Okay yea dude KingRoot is full of Sh*t lol, if it says there's no options available tap the area giving you the message and it should (hopefully lol) try the default rooting method it falls back on. Also try KingoRoot as it uses a different method.

Well LilAnt530, it looks like this phone is just impossible. I have tried KingRoot, KingoRoot, towelroot, somethinissingsrsroot and they all give me the same message, "device not supported". There is something that I am doing wrong or missing. Everything I read,indicates it should root.
Here is what I have ,
Samsung SM-G900V,
Android Version 5.0,
Baseband Version G900VVRU2BPB1,
Kernal Version 3.4.0,
Build Number LRX21T.G900VVRU2BPB1

Do you see anything that isn't right ? I am totally baffled now, I thought I had it licked but no joy yet.

Dirty cow app ? Wow that is a new one. No I have not used that but I will see if I can find it to try. Last night I went thru 1000 posts looking for an answer and found nothing that was helpful.
I do have a question, if any can tell me. When
I downgraded to lollipop, the instruction said, " Do not install google or Samsung account when setting up phone. Well, I had to. Samsung said that due to a abnormal boot, that I must verify that it was my phone and would not let me continue until I put in my I'D and password.
Does anyone know if that could be preventing root?
I will go see if I can find Dirty Cow.
Thanks for staying with me this long,
I sure do appreciate your time and help.
---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------
I would not be comfortable with the Dirty Cow exploit. I did find much that was positive about it. Personally I think I have come to the end road. I have tried everything that I can find on rooting the S5 with lollipop. I hate to say it but it is time to think about whether to keep lollipop or let the phone update back to Marshmallow and forget about root.
I have learned a lot by going the route that I have but one thing is for certain, Samsung and Verizon have lost a customer! Rather than buying this S5 , I should have given in to Apple and bought an iphone. I hate iPhone but not as much as Verizon and Samsung at the moment.
I have to go make a decision on what I am going to do.

[Unmodified] Pre-rooted firmware for SM-G361F

Hi everyone,
Today I am posting this thread because of some idiots who are now sharing pre-rooted firmwares for SM-G361F that are full of bloats.
I am sick of that, this is why I upload the archive of the first pre-rooted firmware I got that was at least clean.
You can download it here: https://mega.nz/#!oqpRhZJZ!B18uTiB3TH-QfChoqjgWCNmaPjqInPZbFyI4u9-T8s4
Note: This firmware is ONLY for Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-G361F devices with AOG1 build.
Of course I don't own the firmware and I didn't root it, I just keep the right to upload it.

Nah, I'm just pulling your leg! I tested her out and she is perfectly functional. Much better than that, what was her name? Andro-Woman? Or was it Andro-Man?
She seems like a woman to me.

Pre rooted
Hey,can you find SM-G361F pre rooted version for this device?
BaseBand G361FXXU1AQA1
Build number G361FXXU1AQD1
I can't find it anywhere

I love what you're doing. All other pre-rooted ROMS are full of trash. Could you make it for G361FXXU1APA3?

Hum... OK guys thanks for the love but I have to remember you something.
I am not a developer yet and truly not a ROM unbloater: I didn't "disinfect" the firmware, I just reuploaded it (well after a fast check, I found I've already prevented about that, just read the thread please...)
So no dudes I can't do that, sorry. I COULD eventually do that, removing bloats and extract system image to make a flashable shouldn't be as complicated, but I do not have time.
Sorry to disappoint you.

Hey Atronid, you rock! I have the AOL1 but intend to give it a try cause I already rooted it but it's full of bloast. Do you know if I can flash another pre-rooted firmware considering I did this already? could this be harmul? -brickful? )-

:laugh:

I don't think doing this will brick your device, but careful. Ensure the usal requirements are here (OEM unlock, USB debug just in case...) and you made a backup, also in case something goes wrong.
But if you're rooted you got plenty tools that can remove bloats from your device, but I hope you're not easily scared because once removed system may spam that the bloat you just uninstalled has stopped. You can get rid of that by just rebooting your phone.
So you don't need to reflash any firmware if you just want to clean your phone up.

Yes, you're right. The problem was that the apps I tried to remove other apps weren't the right ones, but now that's sorted thankfully On the other hand, as I couldn't find an Android 6 ROM for my phone (not even a sorry recovery.... ) in the end I set my mobile to install new apps on the sd card by default. Actually it works similarly to the app Link to SD, so a part of it is on the SD card and the rest (like the data it generates) in the device storage, despite all the tutorials sell this method as "Installation directly on your SD card". You need a computer and official Android development tools (SDK). In case it's of any interest for anyone I'll include the tutorial I followed, but it turns out I'm not allowed to post links yet, so the title of the article was Cómo instalar aplicaciones DIRECTAMENTE en la tarjeta SD from androidjefe website. In English, How to: Force Android to automatically install apps to SD card from softonic website
I hope it helps

Hi guys, can I use this rom to install on core prime g361f with baseband FXXU1AOH1? I tried once with TWRP but failed.

Read first post. I don't think it will work if you have a build other than AOG1.
And you should not use TWRP to flash like this. Use Odin and Download mode instead.

Will this rooted firmware work with my SM-G361F phone? Need advice...
Hi there,
Will this rooted version work with my phone?
I'm new here and need some help and advice re Rooting this Samsung phone SM-G361F - I'M NO TECHIE but have ability to following instructions and make connections etc. My phone details are below.
Baseband G361FXXU1ASC1
Build LMY48B.G361FXXU1AQD1
Patch level is 2017-4-01
Security software version ASKS 1.2_161011
I did once try rooting a Samsung tablet using Odin and it all worked OK, but that was a while ago.
How important is it to get the identical build or baseband? Anything else I need to check?
I was trying initially trying to change the phone's MAC address, as I was experimenting with the phone, however I could not use an App to do this as it stated phone that the phone needs Rooting first for App to work. Also tried Terminal Emulator app but it kept failing to work as I was probably, unable to input the text commands required correctly.
I hope someone can please help and advise me on this.
M
Kind regards

Custom-ish ROM (Possible TWRP/ROOT) for J327T1(?)

I have compiled for you an Odin-Flashable downgrade to original Nougat ROM.
Does NOT have Google FRP in this version (the ROM came stock this way; unmodified), this is useful if you forgot your Google email.
Download Odin3 and the .tar file HERE
- Open Odin v3.12.7
- Plug in phone to PC
- Simply boot into download mode (Powered off- Hold HOME+POWER+VOLUME DOWN)
- Click AP
- Select J327T1.tar
- Click Start
Once it finished it will reboot and update. It is going to get stuck on 32%, do not worry.
It will take a second, but the recovery menu will pop up. Select Reboot System and it will take some time to get to the OS but you will eventually have Nougat pop up and ready to go!
Enjoy!
*UPDATE*
In the download links I have the "Factory Binary" Custom ROM. It's pretty useful in messing with the phone software, although I do not know the specific use. Use the same method above to install the ROM.

Also, I do believe you can edit the .tar and add TWRP by downloading the recovery.img from my link and replacing it in the .tar and following the same steps. I have not tested because I was helping my brother access his phone because he forgot his Google account after he reset his phone.

Well idk if it is considered to be custom. Its still the stock rom. But idk he shoulda tested twrp bc if it works then that would be awesome. But idk the bootloader is locked. If anyone has this device and willing to test please do so. I cannot test since this phone is my primary phone that i use on a daily basis.

I only have a similar device, not the same, but bootloader was already unlocked, all you really need to do is wait for an unknown command screen to stop.

We had the factory binary for awhile now. On another thread we tried to make a rooted binary but it failed.

Yes, it runs perfectly.

Good ish' Brad, now hopefully someone will get twrp and I'll cough up the money for another cheap t1

Ok so its not truly the factory binary, its an emulator of that, meaning any changes were not flashed over as in other devices. but i have been thinking and, i'll post this in the original as well, magisk....only works if you completely wipe the device first, same with custom roms, i never tried that when i had the j3, bricks be damned we got odin3 and i got scripts to get outta brick an into download.
if someone would be ao kind as to factory reset and tr installing twrp, that wuld be amazing, i have been working with the note 4 sprint variant and there are a few steps in installng custom roms that we were over looking

Only way I can help you is by telling you go buy yourself a PC if you're going to start routing and or developing the firmware on Android devices it is extremely hard nearly impossible these days with Android devices running version Android 6.0 and up to root without a PC the best and easiest way I've found to root a Android device is to First install a custom recovery like TWR p or ClockworkMod and have a unlocked bootloader then from there you can easily download SuperSU and Flash it with a firmware flashing application like ClockworkMod ROM manager that is downloadable on Play Store what I'm trying to say is if you are using kingroot or kingoroot you're going to be hitting that button 4 million years and nothing will happen either by an Android that has a lower version like any version below 5.0 or get yourself a computer and do some research because it is very easy to do the stuff as long as you know what you're doing if you don't it seems way more complicated than it actually is you're in the right place here on XDA to learn everything you need to know so you're off to a great start I hope this helps have a good one good luck

So is there no way we can downgrade further to a firmware that includes the developer option to oem unlock?... I'm about to try and flash what the op posted right now... I'll post results

Currently latest binary there isnt any unlock for but I am working on it some. It is one of the more difficult ones to do due to Sprints new security. Only one team so far (at least made public) has done unlocks for it. If you have older binary builds there are some unlocks available on clangsm forum. Might check there.

Well not so much of a challenge anymore I guess on this one. The Yemen fellows have managed to unlock this long ago and now it seems everyone has a solution for it heard so much for Sprint's latest RSA haha

I have this phone and see many different methods. Some say very difficult and easy to brick, others are just not clear (to an old man).
SM-J337P
Software Version: J337PVPU4BSJ2
If you hade one in your hand right now, do you have a favorite tutorial / method to obtain root?
What about a custom rom, you have a recommendation?
Thanks in advance to all with input, I value it

Hey there nice to meet you. Pretty much the 337 P can be rooted if you have cheated PRP for it that is about the easiest way to go about it. You can also get the boot image and go ahead and use it with magisk in a Flash the boot image back get it rooted and then use something like AAP ke flasher to flash TW RP but again you would need a custom as men are built in mine is not finish it. However you will run into some issues if you do the ladder as they will need to be signed images at least I have came to find out. And remember Ruth should be treated all up most respect otherwise you will have a phone that is vulnerable to just about everything in the world haha. Take care
