Upgrading a Grand Prime (Refurbished) - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
I am using a samsung galaxy grand prime refurbished version. Can anybody tell me how to upgrade it to lollipop or by complete flashing and re installing the original factory software

Which variant do you have?
SM-G530H, SM-S920L, etc?

I have SM-G530H version and i need update also

You're in luck. Your device is in active development. I recommend following this link to upgrade to 5.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gra...uild-cm12-1-galaxy-grand-prime-t3345897/page1
CM will also get rid of all of the crap-ware that's pre-installed on the device, making it much faster and leaving you with a lot more free space to play with. Trust me, you'll like it. ¦ )
If you're expecting an update to Marshmallow or Nougat (6.0-7.0) - not going to happen anytime soon. The manufacturer isn't releasing anything later than Lollipop; and independent developers need a lot more time than has already passed to create custom builds.

Do not ever try to update a refurbished phone, you will brick your device and got no solution to restore.

I'm not saying you haven't had problems, but one or two bad experiences does not make what you said a fact.
I've had multiple refurbished phones from various manufacturers (including an S3, S4 and LG g2 coincidentally) and have been able to modify them with absolutely no issues whatsoever.

rooting G2 Korean version

Hi folks!
Does anyone have done rooting their Korean version of G2 phone or F320K11D version to any US or international version?
I am planning to do the same thing but I'm so worried about the process
care to share your experiences?
Hi, I have the 320L version of the G2 which came shipped with 10K software. Your 11D software is a newer over the air delivered version which is not rootable.
You should go through the Stock downgrade process (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476) and apply 10M or older and the root should work.
The version I have I am able to install all the F320L software versions with this method, but I've still not managed to get root. Ideally I personally want to run stock Euro Open rooted for a while to try out the new funky apps on stock before I put Vanir on there.
Anyone who has rooted the 320L can you please share your method, note when I applied the 320K10M version the software load fails at 47%, the point where it's about to apply the update.
Cheers,
Albert

as long as you follow this guide word for word, you wont have any problems
also, if anything goes wrong you can just restore .kdz with flashtool and then restore your backup(which you should have made )
Actually I just need Voice Mate and FM radio since this korean version has QVoice which was in korean language and it doesn't have and FM Radio haha! I tried to download both of the apk's file but neither one of them worked.

Not only you mate. Me too. End up I bricked my phone after I get that unsupported version.
I'm stuck in the world of 4.3 as well
I flashed in the Indian version before I knew the dangers. Now I can't revert to any other firmware.
if there isn't a decent fix for this I am done with Samsung for ever. We should be allowed to root our phones.
Hi, I root my Note 2 with MK1 using this file: CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.zip
1- Put your device in download mode
2- Open Odin3_v3.09
3- Turn off "Auto-Reboot" and in AP select the uncompressed file.
4- Flash CF Auto Root and after you see a blue message "RESET" in Odin
5- Immediately put your phone in recovery mode (Vol UP + Home + Power)
6- Install SuperSU

for me Samsung's Android 4.3 firmware has installed a locked down system and bootloader which prevents me from flashing in any non supported software. I get a fail as soon as I attempt to flash anything but the official version 4.3 which is currently installed.
I am hoping the response from the Android community is loud and strong, and that Samsung receives harsh feedback for taking such a hard stance on rooting and the use of unofficial roms on their phones. I have written to Samsung asking for clarification on their policy, and if there official response is that they will no longer allow users to root and or install other roms other than the official Samsung roms then I am going to sell my samsung phone and purchase a nexus 5, and never purchase another Samsung telephone again.
I think that Samsung should or for a download which will clear out the secure boot loader and system and allow users to install the firmware of their choice. I do like the official Samsung Android 4.3 firmware, but I need root to be able to add the tweaks that allow me to make the phone perfect for my use.
the following is my letter to samsung:
Re: Customer reference number: 2116477974
Please quote your customer reference number when contacting Samsung
Email response ID: 2118916545
you are missing my point and did not address my issue. I understand that samsung does not SUPPORT unofficial firmware. I'm not asking for support. I'm asking for Samsung NOT TO BLOCK the installation of unofficial firmware.
As I stated previously, I would like to know whether or not Samsung is going to prevent owners of their telephones from installing whatever firmware they want. Right now I am stuck with the official version of Android 4.3, & I am NOT able to root it nor install another firmware. If this is samsung this official policy, to block users from installing the firmware of their choice I am going to sell this phone and I assure you I will never ever purchased another Samsung telephone.
You should be trying to encourage your users to be happy with your equipment. The enthusiast who for their own reasons want to modify your device should be encouraged. That should be a sector of the market that you would want to go after. After all, us Samsung owners are people who want to give you our money when we upgrade to your future devices. As it is right now I would never think of purchasing a note 3 because of your firmware policy. If you will not allow your users to install the firmware of their choice I will have no option but to purchase one of your competitors products. I could go into the reasons why I prefer to root my phone, but let me just say generally that it allows me to add or change features that allow the device to behave in a way and do things which are important to me, in areas where your official firmware falls short fit my needs.
Speculation on the web is that your policies are designed to curry favor in the business world where I teach departments would appreciate that your device is locked down. If that is the case, I understand that you are also turning your back on the consumer base who wants an open and modifiable device.
My belief is that you should allow the consumer user to have a more open and friendly device. I would appreciate it if you would allow users like myself to remove the restriction that your latest firmware has placed on our devices by blocking unofficial firmware.

It's impossible to downgrade to 4.1.2 if you have official Knox bootloader, I did not know when I flashed indian version that will come with Knox bootloader, now I have stuck to 4.3 but I have successfully rooted my Galaxy Note 2, I tried everything to downgrade via odin but it says - Fail !! unsupported version-
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world, friend. I've been trying for a week now to bypass Knox. But no success. Tried all ODIN versions and every possible flashing file out there. Even the one by dr.ketan. Nothing seems to work. I've been getting the unsupported version message on the Odin screen. Which even led to the OS crashing a couple of times. Had to recover using Kies. As I understood, the fix by dr.ketan was for a leaked test build. and not for the original mk4. Seems to me that Samsung purposely leaked that build to see if anyone finds a fix for it. As soon as dr.ketan found a fix, Samsung fixed it at their end enhancing their own security to block this fix. But the good part is that the Knox counter hasn't gone past zero. :good:
That means that I can still approach Samsung and kill them for this.
Well, we just have to wait till someone finds a fix for this. I'm stuck on the stock rom 4.3 too. Pretty boring if you ask me.

[Q] Towelroot no longer works... ideas?

I'm pretty new to the Android phones. I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet about a year ago, and I absolutely love it -- which was the only reason why I considered an Android phone when it came time to upgrade. That might have been a mistake.
The phone I chose was a Galaxy S5 from AT&T.
For many reasons I won't go into (and that many of you probably know) Kitkat is awful. Removing SD card access removed one of the most important reasons that I bought the phone. So, I decided to root the thing.
I read a bunch of info on how to root, and, eventually downloaded and tried to use towelroot only to discover that AT&T/Google have blocked all functionality of that program. My build is, unfortunately, the latest build -- July 22 2014 (or there abouts).
Now, I'm not sure if the phone was given to me with that update -- I only got the thing on Sunday. Maybe it was, maybe not. Dunno. So I have a couple of questions.
If I were to factory reset the phone, would that roll back these "Security" OTA updates that were pushed onto the phone? I'm pretty sure there was at least one after I got the thing. I've spent a fair amount of time setting the phone up, but I'll do it again if a factory reset would allow me to root the phone and return the SD card functions.
Is there a way to push an earlier version of the ROM onto the phone. I'm guessing not, since I think I read that AT&T helpfully locked the bootloader.
Finally, does anyone know of any way to root this device if neither of the two paths I presented above will work?
Thanks for any help. If I can't restore the SD card functionality, I'll probably just return the phone. That would be a bummer because I was really excited about it.

I see that there are tutes here, and am wading through the 50+ pages of forum posts to find what I need. However, my worry is that none of this stuff will work because of the new firmware. Here is all the info that I have on my phone:
Galaxy S5 AT&T US version (SAMSUNG-SM-900A)
Android 4.4.2
kernel version 3.4.0-2178781 [email protected] #1 Tuesday July 22
Build # KOT49H.G900AUCU2ANG3
SE for Android Status
Enforcing SEPF_SAMSUNG-SM-G900A_4.4.2_0018 Tuesday July 22
Security Software version:
MDF v1.0 Release 3
VPN v1.4 Release 1
Thanks all the pertinent info, I think.
Because the update was so new, I don't think there's a way to root this anymore. People keep telling me to use ODIN and to download an earlier ROM (and I now have ODIN and an earlier ROM -- hopefully from a good source, but I have no idea if it is), but my impression is that this latest AT&T "security" update keeps you from reflashing the ROM because of the bootloader lockout.
Any further help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
As I told you, the only method working for me (because of towelroot non working) is cf auto root.
Check periodicaly here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ to see if your model is listed.
I had just a look and it's not listed yet.
If it is, flash by odin and look if root works.
If not, you've got to flash by odin the same rom again (keep your original file on pc), you'll loose nothing, and report this fails on chainfire to test other solution.
Good luck

Not only build number and kernel version, you need to check your Bootloader version with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app (in the FIRMWARE INFO section).
Bootloader version is one of the important info to check when you are going to root or flashing custom rom.

Hey that looks like a great utility. Thanks! The bootloader is G900AUCU2ANG3
Does that help any? People keep telling me I need to use ODIN and flash this, that or the other thing. Those comments would probably be more helpful if I knew more about this stuff, but my reading has lead me to believe that ODIN won't work with certain version of the bootloader. Or is that wrong?

Hi everyone, recently purchased a Chinese A7 SM-7000 and regret it, the phone is a good hardware piece, but the software is crappy, lot of Chinese bloatware, no more than three languages, and the best of all is there's no Google Apps, no Google play, so I need some help in maybe flashing another firmware, a (normal) one, or wathever to make this phone international, BTW I've rooted the stock rom under 5.0.2 but guess it won't help.

If the software is infected, I think you can flash another rom from SamMobile... But for your model there are only chinese firmwares... Maybe from there you can root, then check if your phone can use a firmware from another variation, maybe it can be done by skipping the baseband. Check with your provider if there is any subscription, and if there are any, cancel them... Doing this after a full flash on Odin must clean your device from trouble...
Sorry if my reply caused any trouble to you, it wasn't my intention... :crying:

Hello XDA Community,
Ever since I got my Samsung Galaxy S7 (G930A) it hasn't gotten a OTA update. I have 4 family members with the same phone purchased the same date and they are all up to date with their software. I have tried updating it using the normal process Settings>About Device>Check for software updates and it always tells me that "Current software is up to date". There most be something wrong with my phone, is there a fix for this type of problems? My phone is currently on Android 6.0.1 Build #: MMB29M.G930AUCS2APH1. I would like to update it since I have an outdated security patch etc. I would like to gain root access but I just read that with root samsung pay can not be used, can anyone confirm this? I have rooted phones before, just haven't done it in a while. Any help, suggestions and recommendations are welcome.
Thank you in advance

Take it to a Samsung rep in Best buy, they'll updated it.
Is there anyway that I can perform the update with my PC? I see the stock ROMs available on here but they all required root. Is there any stock ROMs that don't require root?
Thank you
I went to Best buy and they updated me to QE1. They did not have QF3 yet. Whole process took 5 mins though
