Advice and help for flashing SM-G530AZ (grandprimelteaio) - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am having a heck of a time installing any kind of custom firmware on this Cricket Samsung Galaxy "Grand Prime" phone. The model is the SM-G530AZ aka "grandprimelteaio". I have tried installing the "Stripped G530AZ" image with Flashfire without luck, just boot loop until TWRP loads; I have tried flashing crDroid Oreo from the Grand Prime Unified Development thread via TWRP, without luck. Thankfully I made a full backup with TWRP before trying any of this.
Anyone have any suggestions of a ROM I should install? I'm tired of running 4.4.4 KitKat on this. I know there's an (official) Lollipop 5.x available, but I'd like to run a slimmed down, faster ROM with good customization options. There are so many models of this Grand Prime phone because everyone and their brother sells one but, for whatever reason, I can't find much for the Cricket 530AZ.
Thanks in advance

SM. G531H 5.1.1 Lollipop

People, I've searching in web and I found out that a new version of Galaxy Grand Prime have been released, but this new one has Android Lollipop. Mobile spects are the same in both, except for the OS.
This mean that the ones that have G530~ version aren't getting Lollipop?
There is a video on Youtube of an unboxing, you can check it out
Good Luck!

OP seems to be referring to the above link. It appears Sprint is roling out the same device with lollipop for some $60-100 more than we paid Cricket to get it with KK during the initial release.

Hi, I was ready to install CWM Recovery on my Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G531H phone which I guess it is running Lollipop but I started reading about Lollipop.
Now I have a question. What is the problem if my phone is running Lollipop? I don't understand if could be a problem if I want to install CWM and then rooting it.
Are you so kind to tell me about this?
Can I use the same CWM files that is made for Prime SM-G530H?
Can I use the same files made for Prime SM-G530H if I want to root it? Or where I can get these file?
Of course all of these question don't need to be answered. I just need to figure it out what I need to do.
Thanks.

Dont know about CWM recovery..BUT..I'm sure..TWRP recovery and Root exploit must match to OS version..the files are not interchangable between OS versions..unless it just happens to work out that way in development..but that'd probably be a RARE case..
I ALWAYS update..AFTER know good TWRP and Root has been developed for the next update..before I step to the next OS version..
But..like my device here..came from the box with 5.1.1 THEN one is stuck with no TWRP or Root..at the mercy of development..
You may try to revert..to the OS..when all your files were compatable..and wait it out for the next development..

Samsung Edge Plus G9297 Variant Root 5.1.1

I have a Galaxy S5 Edge Plus - Chinese / Tiwanese version: G9287. I have just updated it to the most up-to-date firmware: (G9287ZHU2APA1_G9287ZZH2APA1_G9287ZHU2APA1_HOME.tar.md5)
On the previous firmware I rooted the phone using Arter Kernel for g928fcig , using Philz custom rec, which worked fine. With the new firmware I cannot find any way to root the phone. I must have tried about 30 times with a variety of methods and orders but it always get stuck in bootloop so I reflash the stock firmware and stick with it. There's a line in the James song - Oh Sit Down: "If I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor". Life just isn't the same with a non-rooted phone. Can anyone shed any light please? I've tried every root method I can see that's out there - all the obvious ones, incl. KingRoot, arter97 v11, CF Auto-Root, AudaxPlus, S6 Unikernel, OH2_DrKetan, SkyHigh_TW_v4.5.
The only thing that does seem to work is I can get TWRP 3 to load through ODIN, but once I load it and come out again the phone bootloops.
Have you tried flashing an early bootloader like G9287ZHU2AOJ6_sboot.tar
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B62RcNtcpgmpSUk3Mmk0dnNjYnM/view?usp=sharing
That did the trick. Thank you! Much appreciated. I reflashed arter97, superuser through recovery and all is well in the world again. Will keep my eye out for when the more up-to-date firmware is rootable.

Has anyone successfully rooted Samsung Galaxy SMJ-500F 6.0.1 Marshmallow India?

Hello I am Yohan, newly registered member but an ardent follower of XDA forums and developers since the past one year. XDA has educated me in so many different things and I have enjoyed full freedom on my android devices ever since.
Now am using Samsung's SMJ500F 6.0.1 Marshmallow, and it seems almost impossible to find a working root method for this. Being a powerful device, all the bloatware is lagging down it's performance.
I have tried,
1. ODIN method (both TWRP and custom firmware), Result: Brick.
2. KingRoot (no strategy available).
3. Flashing SuperSU.zip using TWRP, failed. Result: Brick.
I can't even recall all the methods I've tried and the sites I've visited cause there is so many. I have bricked my device so many times, that the service centre guy is like "Here he comes again".
So my question is, has anyone successfully rooted Samsung Galaxy J500F 6.0.1 Marshmallow, and if so please do share it with the community, and if any developer can come up with a pre rooted SMJ500F 6.0.1 firmware, it'll be much appreciated. Hope to see your replies soon.

Which SuperSU zip did you flash using TWRP? And what error did you get?
I have a J500FN. When I tried Marshmallow 6.0.1, I installed TWRP, then latest SuperSU zip and it got rooted without problems.
Try to flash:
1. Stable: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable .
2. Latest: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu .

If using kingroot then just make sure you are connected to wifi or mobile data as you need it for finding strategies. I would prefer TWRP method and then flash SuperSu.zip. It works 100% on all models. What has left me confused is what do you mean by "brick"? Are you able to access download mode after flashing twrp?
Edit:
If you are able to access download mode then flash official firmware via odin fist and then try your luck again. Hope this helps.

Did you check the roms and kernel section here? We have 2 unofficial twrp ( who cares if its official or not. It does its work. Atleast it wont brick your device) , one for lollipop and one for marshmallow. Read the respective thread and download the correct twrp for ur device.

Yes I did. After your advice I used rom from topic [RECOVERY] [TWRP-3.0.2-0] Samsung Galaxy J5 [MM][Android 6.0.1] and finally installed it on my SM-J500H.
Thank you for point in right direction.

Is there TWRP / CWM for J320A (Exynos) - Please Help

Everything said in title, please point me in the right direction.
Great news! and I am only self replying due to Finding the first unofficial custom recovery for the J320A / J320AZ / J320AG. (Exynos Chipset).
it can be found here https://www.androidinfotech.com/2018/02/root-samsung-galaxy-j3-2016-sm-j320az-marshmallow.html
Will be testing shortly on a J320A, currently running a stock 7.1.1 AT&T Rom.
This is new as of 2018 (hence the post being from Feb of this year).
Thanks goes to Android Info Developers-Kumar, Rain n Or.
I am also still considering putting together my own custom build of ClockworkMod, I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet due to J320A/AZ/AG users having the ability to root on 6.0.1 and dump recovery.
EDIT: So after flashing the recovery it appears to just be a regular stock J320AZ recovery (dont worry, cant brick due to being the same phone physically as the J320A / AG.
I Find this odd, and am wondering why something like this is online :/ is there a reason it ran stock recovery on my device, or is someone just packaging stock as TWRP unofficial?

PROBLEM SOLVED How retour to official Roms galaxy s8 from a custom Rom???????

Hello everyone, someone among all those present and absent could inform us of how to revert to the official OREO firmware to a G950F with TWRP and OREO custom Rom ????.
I guess the first step would be to flash a stock recovery and remove the root since it seems that the error is given first by the custom recovery and maybe also the supersu.
This problem we have many users of the S8 that, for trying or for not being satisfied with the custom rooms we want to return to the official romm.
Any advice is appreciated in advance.:fingers-crossed:
Since this topic does not have any "solver", I had no choice but to try to solve it myself and at this moment I have installed the OFFICIAL version G950FXXU4CRJ5_G950FOXM4CRJ3_PHN which is the last one to date from the Samsung ovens.
The only necessary material is the file "] "RMM-State-Bypass.zip" flashed with the TWRP after having deleted the root. That is the solution that has allowed me to return to the official Rom.
you can download your version on the internet if you search and flash it with Odin....look at S8 Guides etc...
