How did you get a custom recovery on your SM-G530P? I have had my phone unrooted for over a year because I eventually gave up on my search for a custom recovery
I really like TWRP and would appreciate any advice on installation for this model

If you ever locate those on your computer please put a link on here or something. Let me know if you need my email because you can't upload here. Likewise If I find anything about Xposed on the model I'll let u know on here.
Anyway, glad to know I'm not the only person on the planet who owns sprint's Grand Prime. Sorry to post about the wrong subject and give you false hope LOL.

hi sorry for such a late response i have been busy with work but these are the files i have found throughout xda and google, not sure if there up-to-date

Hello all Xda members, I think I need some help with rooting Galaxy Note 3 [N9005XXUDMJ7[ because I am having some problems which makes me very very sick While everybody with this phone root easily I am stuck at the start screen and it does not boot.In this screen It says
RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
I've used Odin 1.85 to CF Auto Root this device. It says "PASS" on the program , but after the device stucks on the screen I mentioned above .It does not boot after that ; nothing loads too.
I really need someone to save me from this .
Goodluck

Use this older file on odin.
It's said pass so it's complete. Either use the older version hey_joe has posted and untick auto reboot. Or try this way >
Once it's rooted and said pass. Turn the phone off, and try and go into recovery then reboot the device. It should boot into Android.

Man do I owe you guys a drink, I signed up just now, just so I could tell you that too!!
I had the exact same issue as strawberry cake and I thought my phone was toast!
Just redid all the steps with the older file, and I have a phone again, a more sweaty brow too...
I wasn't sure if I had signed up before and it took me a while to figure out that I hadn't, and some of them captcha's are ****ing difficult to read!!
But I was determined to get on here and say a thank you to you guys for your most excellent advice.
Although now that I've done that I see I need to enter more captchas just to post, I could be here a while at this rate.
In any case, thank you hey_joe and radicalisto.
Also if anyone else comes across this problem all I did was follow the advice in hey_joe's thread and got my phone back...

When you use a custom recovery or a custom kernel you will get that, it's normal, means you aren't using a Samsung signed recovery/kernel. - the custom kernel comes permissive by default.

Like a couple other guys on this thread, I also became a member here purely to say thanks for the fix provided by hey_joe.
If anyone else with the same problem is reading this, just get the Odin version hey_joe posted on the first page.
Remember that you need to go into download mode (Volume Down + Power + Home) again to escape that 3-color, 3-line SEANDROID screen-lockup before you can interface with the older/better version of Odin.
Just adding this comment as it took me a few minutes to understand why Odin couldn't see the phone again. (Why yes, I *am* new to this whole rooting business) ...
All is good now and I confirmed the phone is now rooted with Root Check from Google Play.
Now to delete all this bloatware, specifically the pesky CloudAgent app that kept screwing up my ability to work with the Gallery. The popup "CloudAgent has stopped" has been the bane of my Note 3 existence for the last few days ...

I had exactly same problem on the same device, and you guys saved me !! Thanks a lot!!
I have the same thing but my phone works. It only tells me that it's not enforcing seandroid when I go into recovery. Is that normal or did my recovery not install correctly? I can use it to flash files, do backups and such so I think it's working normally. The only issue is that I coulnd't get TWRP to work, I had to find the apk on my Note 2 and flash CWM Touch to have custom recovery and every time I go to reboot from there it says that it needs to fix my root. I haven't seen anything on it, so if I am in the wrong location please direct me to where I need to go. Rooting and all isn't new to me, been doing it since I got my EVO 4G when it was released, but I am by far no expert. This KNOX crap has me kinda flustered. The root appears to stick, I can use ROM Toolbox and do what I want it to do, root checker says I have root and all, just curious about the seandroid stuff and saw this post.

Can't Install Recovery

I hate to do this but I'm in a rush here don't shoot me...

ROM and clockwork question

hey everyone, Im a newbie when It comes to roms and flashing, I currently have clockwork mod and stock 4.4.4 and wanted to ask will I get the official lollipop? Even if I have clockwork mod? But stock KitKat? Thank you for reading

as far as i know, and that can be wrong, if your android is untouched (no root or anything else (like xposes framwork)) you will get the update over the air.
BUT if you don't there are factory images that you can download and flash your phone quite easily
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312
or a toolkit to do it automatically
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312
i would recommend to do it with the first method. if something goes wrong you will know what is it and you can ask for help. with the toolkit if something goes wrong things are more complicated to find the error.
P.S. if you decide installing the factory images via console (first option), it is highly recommended to read the entire process first and after do the procedure.
My phone is rooted, but i dont have any custom ROMs or framework , will this affect it? Or when I get the update my root will simply be gone?

You'll lose root and the custom recovery with the ota. But if you haven't modified / deleted any system files you should get the ota.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I've searched some threads and some said you don't get ota if you have clockwork mod (I have it) and I really don't know what to do...should I go back to stock? I'm not good with that stuff and afraid I will brick it, any ideas or advice?

You should be ok. If you're really worried about cwm you could flash the stock recovery image in fastboot. But I wouldn't unless the ota fails, which it shouldn't

Alright, thank you again for clearing things up!
It's also worth noting that Google pushes update at different times depending on which area you live in, so even if you read on the news that Lollypop is released on the Nexus 4, it may take a while for your phone to receive the OTA.
Personally, I advice you to install TWRP recovery, its safe and easy to install kernels and roms

fail after OTA even removing root?

hey guys! i just read in other topic some days agop that a user had a fail even when he remove the root using the BMX tutorial! any confirmation on this? what we can do when some other updates arrive? thanks have a nice dayƧ1
We could try to flash our stock rom from your tutorial then take an ota rather than unroot then take the ota...but now that we have what seems like a functional recovery from our Russian friends it should make things easier and no need for taking an ota

i'm in touch with Russians, there they have Two user how already developed the MiUi ROM to our phone, i'm taking a conversation about this precautions like Updating OTA with root to know how to manage this problem... they use KAZAM SW on their Fly Tornado Slim (Yes, They Use Cross Manufacture SW too, More and More i have sure about our phones are unique Generic Thing with a Simple process called "put a label with the brand" on Gionee's Phones *** Just to be CLEAR! That's what i Thinking, My Opinion... For Sure the Hardware have some little modifications to can be accepted on some markets but all brands use a generic platform from Gionee [if you want to check that.. Check the name of the System application called "System Manager"... Check events names of APK using ES Task Manager(With ROOT on section Startup Manager Clicking on name of this process on list) the name of event process is -> com.gionee.softmanager.xxx.xxx.xxx ] )

i rooted my device using bmx method and then used rashr flash tool in the play store to flash the russians twrp recover
after that i got a little scared because
when i went to wipe it got stuck on formatting cache
then i just rebooted which led to cache and data not mounting
then i tried my backup and on the second try my restore took
so then i gave trying to flash miui another try and everything worked without a hitch this time lol
and im quite pleased with how miui is running, only bug ive seen is lock screen time and status bar time are different.

Super Bummed That the SM-G530T1 Has no Custom Rom Out...

Maybe im missing something but they have a custom ROM for Cricket and not for MetroPCS? Whats up with that? Is there one for Metro Or T-mobile? I have a unlocked Rooted SM-G530T1 With TWRP And No custom ROM Anyware I look. is there perhaps a cyanogenmod build that would work with the T-Mobile/MetroPCS Variant? That would be super cool. Anyone?

I have one built for G530T T-Mobile but.. I have not finished adding somethings to it yet. It's TW based and deodexed so you can install Xposed. The thing that is holding me back is not being able to restore backups when testing builds, as well as TWRP not being able to flash large zips since we don't have an official TWRP specifically for our device.

first off thank you for your work because without developers such as yourself we would have nothing and i mean nothing so thanks man. ok so it is so weird because i had previously ran a TWRP for a different variant that i thought worked great until i went to use the backups that i made.... it would only save the system and not even the whole system like 30% or less. i lost a lot of stuff but now im thinking there might be a connection within the grand prime.... its just very odd that you are having a very rare but simalar issue dont you think? come to think of it i couldnt flash large zips either!! man there is something to this because itwould let me flash superSU but if it was any bigger it would fail me out. i still have the TWRP if you want to look at it if it helps but im not a DEV but i do see clues here and there if something is not right. just let me know and thanks for getting back to me.
Hey I have never been a tester before it would be a good experience for me and since i have bricked this phone several times already and brought it back no problem it seems I have enough knowledge to do the job do you need a tester?

One thing you all will find is that the factory ROM with xposed installed is just about better then any custom ROM for any model phone in my experience because it more stable than custom roms. I think custom roms are over rated. I've bricked enough phones to understand this first hand.

you know i was just looking into that yesterday and i have to agree with you because although Cyanogen and the others are great and user friendly, (no disrespect because i have builds 10, 11, and 12 running on various devices as we speak) but they just dont give you the freedom i saw when i got lost in the exposed repository last night HAAHA! i couldn't believe that i was seeing the stuff i was seeing! You know when someone says " why are you getting apps and programs to hide your activities, i dont care if some corporation wants to look, i have nothing to hide". i just smile and then make an agry face and say " Listen to me clearly, it is not about having anything to hide, far from it, it is about me having things like the Right to Privacy and Freedom of Speech and so on" and a lil thing called the BILL OF RIGHTS EVER HEARD OF IT?... ..... you get the point. i dont think we need me getting into some political rant... but it just got me thinking as i looked at all those add ons in the repository, "why am i so excited about this? This should be in every phone right?" WRONG... Wrong because it has already started a little chip at a time just like it always does throughout history, our rights are disappearing make no mistake and until one day we will wake up and have no rights left! Maybe a Bar code on the back of our necks or some Johnny Mnemonic type crap!

cool cool let me know and if anything weird happens maybe i can help but it should be fine just backup on some thirdparty just to be safe like nandroid or flashfire or whatever you like.
Don't back up directly from recovery?

Maybe im missing something but they have a custom ROM for Cricket and not for MetroPCS? Whats up with that? Is there one for Metro Or T-mobile? I have a unlocked Rooted SM-G530T1 With TWRP And No custom ROM Anyware I look. is there perhaps a cyanogenmod build that would work with the T-Mobile/MetroPCS Variant? That would be super cool. Anyone?
