SM-G530T1 Stock or Cutstom ROM - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Installing Another country on my note 4 and few questions!

Hi, im tired of waiting for Lollipop on my note 4, i have N910HXXU1ANK5 and i was thinking about flashing the other country's firmware, how much is the risk of bricking my device? i pad 800$ for this and im extremely scared! its so much compared to my previous nexus 4 on my old nexus 4 is was like fastboot unlock and tada! its a bit harder in here and i bricked my old n7000 so i rather be careful this time!
Generally how much is the risk of bricking a note 4! what could cause it! i know in general its wrong firmware but like the old n7000 factory reset on ics would kill it and which it did is there anything special like that with the note 4? just be sure too check rom versions?
and what should i do to install 910C on my 910H? what happens if i do something wrong?(soft or hardbrick?)
sorry if this thread sounds stupid, but im going to be 100% sure before i do this as i paid my whole life savings on this
thanks!
From my understanding of the 910h, it is a 3g unlocked note 4. What service are you currently running it through? I just got the lollipop update from verizon a couple of days ago. Before the update came out I got a taste of what lollipop would be like by switching my runtime in the developer options. After the update there isn't too much of a difference. Just color scheme of messaging and some animated pointer click detection and top and bottom wave animation on screen when fully at the top or bottom while scrolling. If you want to get the same performance with your apps as lollipop is running right now, simply go to developer options in your settings, then select runtime, then change from dalvik to ART. Then you won't have to worry about bricking your phone at all.

Root for my phone isn't available yet. Comes stock with knox. There's actually a bounty for a verizon and at&t root method right now, so I'm going to have to hook mine up to my Linux based computer and see what I can do. The biggest risk is of course bricking your device by installing another country. I've been rooting devices since froyo was being developed. I've bricked and unbricked a few of my own devices. Unbricking is usually not easy. Because your partition is more than likely specifically for 910h you'd have to repartition it for the 910c that you would want to install. Make sure to make a copy of the 910h partition before you start. Also copy all of the .rar, .tar, .md5 files that are on the device currently. Haven't done it for about a year myself, but if I remember correctly there are 5-7 of them. One for the modem, etc.

Lets start, its too hard on todays day to brick a device, there are a lot more work around, its not 2011 anymore, the only thing u need to be able to do right is READING, without insulting nobody if you can read then your fine, reading and following all steps on this forum is a key. You can flash anything u want on ur phone WHILE ITS MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUR N910x MODEL, if ur not rooted yet, go and root it, it takes 2 minutes, remember the key READING, then you can make ur own research by reading the Development section, after u have done rooting and flashing a custom recovery, most people use TWPR, then ur good to go. If you just want a stock experience, then go to sammobile website, search ur model number, and download the stock rom, this you will have to flash it using ODIN, but like a said, by READING, you have NOTHING to worry. Remember if something happens to ur device, this is just to have it in mind,
WHILE U CAN ACCESS DOWNLOAD MODE VIA VOLUME DOWN+HOME+POWER, YOU ARE SAFE MY FRIEND, GOOD LUCK

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.

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.
Thanks

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.

Well, I'm sorry to say that it's impossible to work, since the variant degaslte (which contains connectivity, 4G aka LTE) has another processor, so it will not work, you will not be able to install it, the processor of the T230 variant is the Marvell PXA1088, while the T235 (LTE VERSION) has the processor exynos. That is why the development of roms takes a long time for this variant

Hey,
I got some questions , T230nu stock , I have been readin all the threads on twrp and root threads for t230nu pa1, as this stock rom is only good for vids, so i am totally confused how to best load y8ur latest creation 4.4.4 too make this paperweight usable
So ya i am new to droid but really these threads are totally miffed, like whats the deals with twrp? From what i can tell i have to load 2.7.8.4 or under then i can upgrade to 3.1.1.1degaswifi, or do i have to unlock bootloader first, these dang threads just do not explain properly, i have wasted we3k read7ng them, i swear i feel l am dealing with the government circlejrkm one thread says root first ,when i get to end it reveals if you already have twrp, so i goto twrp and read and those threads lead back if you have root and/or prior twrp install ! what gives even the twrp main website is jqcked with the prior install gunk.
Oh and i just love the thread that starts with " I am going too assume you have abd bootloader unlocked allready" REALLY
So can you maybe point me to a proper guide so i can get this paperweight too qctually work because it is my only inet access rite know and the stock rom is horrible

FYI, paperweight in Android terms, means, it is a hard bricked device. The Tab 4 don't have a locked bootloader. Any TWRP for SM-T230 / NU, will work to install my Android 4.4.4 ROM, https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/sm-t230-nu-unofficial-cm-11-based-t3648887.
Secretwolf,
Thanks for the fast reply, for me any device thats basically useless is a paperweight, but i"ll keep in mind that ya"ll use the term meaning for bricked.
So i am going togo buddies today and try to load the lastest twrp, d3gaswifi1100.img . I just cant afford major issues as i dont have easy access to pc to fix it. Seems you and others have been using the eur version is that because the usa doesnt work ?As i am in usa and planned on using that version, i take the eur with incase,
Well gotta give up today as just tryin to type with thing is horr7ble , and i have todo a restore once a week just so the browser will load inet. This keyboard is horrid

[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.

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? )-

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

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.

Kind regards

[HELP] custom binary(RECOVERY) Blocked due to remaining installment balance

I currently have the SM-N935F/DX and I get the *on in the title, when flashing TWRP.
I made some research and I cant seem to find any answers on how to solve that.
Any help would be appreciated
Update
Setup Secure Folder and Samsung pass. Update all galaxy apps and you MIGHT be able to flash TWRP
UPDATE 1
I tried to boot on " Android Recovery " first thing I got is " Installing system update " then next is " no command " after a couple of seconds I got into android recovery.
I think the " installing system update no command " caused the " custom binary(RECOVERY) Blocked due to remaining installment balance "
Any devs out there? Or anyone who can help me figure this out?
Edit
I am not FRP locked
OEM is unlocked
same issue same varient,tried doing everything, but no luck.
please help us some genius
I found out that the ones having success on TWRP are non N935F owners, they are using " gracelte " while ours is " gracerlte " Our only chance of having TWRP are some devs who are willing to make one for us. I honeslty would like to learn how to make one but its faaaar beyond me. And my internet is sh*te, so I cant download them programs needed to make one
