kINDLY HELP ME ON HOW TO UPDATE MY GALAXY G720AX TO LOLLIPOP
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] paulbras:
Hey guys, i'm new here. Made this account just to ask the following question. I'm in serious trouble here with my brand new phone. I rooted it just fine, installed a bunch of super user apps and was working on changing the bootup animation. I flashed a "solution" to the way samsung does bootup animations, after rebooting the phone only goes into download mode. I can't do anything. It's just a screen saying

DOWNLOADING.... Do not turn off target!!

I've tried holding the volume up + power + home key and it takes me to the same screen. The computer does not recognize the phone, so neither does odin. I'm not great at this stuff, i suck actually. This is a brand new phone, and it's useless!!! Please, if any one could help me out.. you would be doing me a huge favor!! Please tell me what to do.

the phone model number is sm-g530h

thanks guys!

Hello, new to the forum :p

I succesfully rooted the device with this method, however I did freeze the Knox notification manager and emergency launcher, things seem normal but I don't know if that will affect something. Should I unfreeze them?

Also, has anyone installed Xposed on this device? and, in the event I go through with it and something bad happens, can I just flash the stock ROM with Odin even if there's no custom recovery yet?

I was waiting to CWM/TWRP to come out before installing Xposed, just in case something went wrong, but since I'm keeping stock ROM anyway I'm fine with flashing stock again in case I ever need it. Titanium has my back.

dowload another firmware and try again

That's because you are trying to flash the wrong Firmware to your device

[Galaxy Grand Prime General] 3xhon:
[MENTION=893712]Vancer[/MENTION], we have same problem i try both XTC and XTE but no luck. always say fail auth.

What is the difference with that NPL rom with our XTC? any problem you encounter.

what is the code to display that info you post above.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] vancer32:
I used Phone Info Samsung from playstore.

You can try flashing different region firmware if your grand prime is openline.

I used NPL region firmware but it says INS from india maybe sammobile is mistaken. See my screenshot.

No difference I just like the latest firmware for bug fixes and improvements.

I have rooted using this method. Rooted right away after flashing the NPL firmware. ROOTING USING THIS METHOD TRIGGERS KNOX WARRANTY.

1. Make a factory reset - Boot into Stock Recovery Mode - to enable stock recovery mode -press and hold, Volume up key,

Power Key and Home Key. When the Phone vibrates Leave Power key but keep holding Volume Up Key and Home Key.

You will now boot into recovery mode.

2. In recovery mode, select Wipe Data/Factory Reset (use volume Up and Down to select and Power key to Confirm) wait

to finish.

3 .Once Data is cleared select reboot system now from the recovery menu.

4. Now your samsung device will restart without any issue with the stock room you have flashed.

Effective way to root device - fix for most reboot and bootloop issues

Hi folks, I had rooted my device using this method and I experienced bootloops.

I feel the problem was that I was using a newer update of KitKat while this root method used an older recovery build.

So before trying my method, please backup data.

OPTION 1

Step 1. Download this build http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/35763/G530HXXU1ANII_G530HODD1ANI5_INS/

Step 2. Factory reset device and flash the above build using ODIN (Google up how to use ODIN to flash builds)

Step 3. Root your SGP using the root method given in OP

You're done. This worked for me. I have an SM-G530H on

Build Number- G530HXXU1ANII

Baseband- G530HDDU1ANI3

OPTION 2

1. Go to http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

2. Find the right version for your phone.

3. Dowload CF Auto root for your device

4. Find the right corresponding firmware version supported from SamMobile

eg. Right now CF Auto Root is on Version NJ2 for SM-G530H so I flash NJ2 build from Sam Mobile (NJ2 is last 3 characters of build number)

Then download NJ2 build from SamMobile and flash using ODIN

5. Flash the right firmware build as per CF Auto root version

6. Flash CF auto root as per instructions

(BASIC INSTRUCTIONS

All downloads contain .tar.md5 files flashable in ODIN as PDA.

Make sure your device is in ODIN download mode (usually you can get there by holding VolDown+Home+Power when the device is turned off), then start the included Odin3-v1.85.exe file, press the PDA button, select the .tar.md5 file, and click Start. You can find more detailed instructions and assistance at XDA.

A modified recovery and cache partition will be flashed, which will install (only) SuperSU, then	clean-up the cache partition and re-flash the stock recovery.

For the root to work, the device must reboot into recovery. Most devices will do this automatically after flashing these files, but in case that does not happen, please boot into recovery manually.)

7. Done

NOTE: I haven't tried OPTION 2

Cheers. Looking forward to some great development for this device :good:

flash using ODIN,

1. turn off ur phone remove battery for atleast 5seconds

2. boot into download mode press vol down + home + sleep until warning appears and press vol up to continue

3. open odin just leave the option box as is, auto reboot check and F. Reset Time Check

4. click PDA and choose "2_cache_recovery_stock_mohan_sm-g530h.tar.md5" click start and wait till the phone reboot to home screen

5. click PDA again and choose "1_cfroot_sm-g530h_mohan.tar.md5" click start and wait again till the phone reboot to home screen

6. check if SuperSU is installed

I have the same issue as Storm, the one you replied to. Flashed both files through Odin, as the instructions say, and still boots to recovery each time.
