Solution for reverting phone fully into stock (SM-G530AZ) & any other Samsung

I wasn't going to let Samsung Customer Service get away with not be able to give me info on how to get the code for emergency recovery mode using Samsung Kies. I got the Samsung Rep to tell me how to get the code in Kies all the time (in emergency recovery mode). Have the usb plugged in first without the phone connected to it. Then hold down the volume down key on your phone when it's OFF and after the volume down key is being held down, connect your phone to the USB while the Samsung Kies program is running. The code should show in Kies after that. Then go to the tools selection in Kies and click on the Recovery Mode option and you follow the further instructions. I didn't try this yet but I will very soon. I wrote this right after I got off the phone from the Samsung Rep. I really hope that this is a true method that works. If yes, cheers to all!
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HammersmashDFCC:
Sorry, can't be so trusting with Customer Service Rep of Samsung

I apologize for my previous post in a way. Well first of all this model SM-G530AZ (my model) isn't compatable with Kies as in that I got a message from Kies saying that. Therefore there was no way for me to know that the holding of the volume down method will generate the code for the emergency software reflash on this model. Finally, if that Rep was able to make that mistake I doubt whether it works for phones that are compatable with Kies.

sm-g530az

Any luck on flashing the sm-g530az. I try most of the firmware from sammobile. But no luck. And, sm-g5630az firmware is not in Sam Moblie.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HammersmashDFCC:
Only solutions I can think of...

Earlier in this forum a member said that you can possibly use the 530h firmware, being that they are basically the same firmware as ours although he said he's not totally sure. If Kies 3 and the newer version of Kies (the name slipped my mind, but the message pops up anytime one installs Kies 3 asking if you want to download it) don't work because a message comes up saying that the phone doesn't support initializing, maybe what that member said is the only possible option for right now. But now I'm thinking that you can do anything to your phone which will be "normal" looking as far as for the things which the customer service reps look for see if the phone was tampered with which voids the warranty, in a repair center they can wipe all from the phone and put stock software. But the issue with that may be that the binaries that are on you phone now may cause your phone to get bricked being that their software uses different binaries. This is when they plug it in by them the phone need to load to 100% and if it stops in middle the phone is bricked. So they told me that there is that risk. If you can fool them into trying to do that flashing process on your phone because they seem to think that the warrantee is intact and it doesn't get bricked, you are good to go (I visited a Samsung repair center and found this out being that I had issues with them). But in your case that may or may not be possible . Good luck.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zomgitsanoob:
Your instructions were slightly off. Here's what worked.

1) install KIES 3. DO NOT PLUG IN PHONE

2) go to tools -> firmware upgrade and initialisation in KIES

3) device id = SM-G530AZ ; serial number is under battery

4) allow KIES to download the firmware

5) place phone in ODIN mode/Emergency Download Mode (hold VOL DWN and HOME while powering on ) then plug in phone to computer via USB

6) allow KIES to send image to phone. Have some ice cream and egg rolls and do not touch anything.

7) PROFIT! After the phone restarts, it will take you through initial set up (like when you bought it)

YOU WIN!! Even the Mobile Data is Set-up Already!​

All your screwups (soft brick, deletes systemui....) are forgiven. Don't do it again.

BONUS::

about: device status: official

odin mode:

current binary:official

system status: official

used knox status checker from gp.... 0x0 !

I think we just got our warranty back, baby :good:

Thanks a million

thank you so much man i had rooted my galaxy grand prime from cricket with kingroot ..couple hours later once my phone died and restarted it said my phone was flashed and locked due to unauthorized firmware ..i could not get into my phone at all.. Only able to see odin mode (download mode) ..so i did some research and could not find sm-g530az firmware anywhere for download. So i went to cricket they told me my phone is no good i had to get another one. I was furious ..but didnt give up since im pretty mobile phone and computer savvy. I still did some research found this thread and downloaded kies 3 .it did not recognize my phone for connection ..so i downloaded kies 2.6 and kies lite.

It just kept saying connecting ..so i then followed ur steps above and it brought my phone back to life ..crazy how cricket and even samsun themselves did not know what to do as i was on the phone with both of them ..they told me my phone is no longer good ..smh ...anyways thank you sooo much ..saved me about $150.

I hope this helps anyone else that is in the same position that i was in :)

So somehow through out the process when I clicked upgrade it went through the thing then it got to 100% but then their was an error! :confused: It said I should do an emergency recovery but then it gave me no code to do it. I'm so confused what do I do..
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flagmax:
Don't give up. The problem is you as I did not flash stock kernal after root, its a MUST on G530AZ. I read that you can still flash stock kernel boot.img now with odin and that will fix boot problem.

But I did used kies to restore G530AZ to 5.1.1 sucessfully on second try. The first time I tried, it also error out. It could be some drivers did not fully install. So I tried second time but used another usb cable and it restored the phone fine.

Then I followed LINK to get a working root. I remember flashify complain not having superuser but it flash boot ok. I don't know how to do step 6, maybe just apk unistall king and install superuser.apk in the zip?. I also installed busybox and did efs backup with EfsProBackup.

My main reason to root was to get Wifi tether, but every app I tried, failed to work.

While this method didn't work, my phone decided it was going to move past the error screen during boot, so I guess it is resolved for now.

sm-g530az tether 5.1.1 hack

OK, if any of you guys are looking to root your sm-g530az just to get your tethering to work after 5.1.1 lollipop update, here is my own hack method I figured out for your stock phone, go to "settings" then "more networks" then "mobile networks" then "access point names" also known as "APN" create a new 1, then--

"NAME" - whatever name u want, I used "HOTSPOT"

"APN" - "ndo"

"PROXY" - "proxy . cricket wireless . " NO SPACES and DOT "net" at end

"PORT" - "80"

"USERNAME" - "PASSWORD" - "SERVER'" - leave blank.

"MMSC" - "http :/ / mmsc . aio wireless . " NO SPACES and DOT "net" at end

"MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PROXY" - "proxy . aio wireless . " NO SPACES and DOT "net" at end

"MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PORT" - "80"

"MCC" - "310"

"MNC" - "150"

"AUTHENICATION TYPE" - leave blank

"APN TYPE" - "default,mms,hipri,supl,fota"

Then save it....

Now if u change your APN to the new 1 u just created, then u can go back to your mobile hotspot and tethering, it WILL turn on "no extra charge" now your hotspot will have internet and most of your apps will also, except for internet explorer, so now that your hotspot is turned on, go back to your APN's and change it back to your original APN, opposite of the 1 u just made, "while your hotspot is still running" and now u should have mobile hotspot working and your internet explorer at the same time!

Stock Firmware for 530AZ Odin flash

For those of you using the G530AZ (Cricket Wireless) that are not able to fix your bricked device with Kies, here is a link to the stock firmware files for both KitKat and Lollipop. They can be flashed through Odin.

If your phone is bricked, I'd recommend simply downloading the first file in the folder. It begins with "ALL_AIO" or something close to that.

Do read a little before attempting an Odin flash. If you don't know what you're doing, you can make things worse.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilkij:
Recently, whenever I use the fastboot command from my PC with my Zenfone 2 (64 gb) I am getting responses that read ”FAILED (remote permission denied)".

As an example, I flashed the new TWRP recovery with fastboot and got these messages:

Sending xxxxx

OKAY

Writing xxxxx

FAILED (remote permission denied

The odd thing is, the command appears to have worked as the new recovery has been flashed as desired. Anyone have an idea what's happening and how to eliminate the supposed error?

I should add that the phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stupid_productions:
I just noticed the same "problem". I caused a boot-loop (I believe by trying to get the root companion app for GSAM Battery Monitor installed to /system/priv-app), so went to attempt a fix somehow. My TWRP recovery was gone at first, tried reflashing and got the same message as you. But, likewise it did work.

Also a rooted ZE-551ML, bootloader unlocked and recently upgraded to 2.19.40.22 (maybe it's something in the .20 to .22 update)?

P.S. I'm considering myself lucky, managed to use TWRP to mount /system and then deleted the 'com.*' folder I copied into there. Rebooted fine after that...phew!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domesdkg:
From what I'm seeing this seems to be a problem with the dialer on vanilla android, on non-US carriers. Maybe you guys can provide some extra info to validate this theory.

LG/Samsung: That fits my theory - they have their own dialer apps.

Error on N4/5/6: Was this in Europe? I've seen several posts about European users having this error message. Please let me know the carrier/country.

Edit: Netherlands on T-Mobile?

So maybe this problem only occurs on stock phones on certain carriers in certain counties?

I'd guess you're probably in the states on a major carrier - can you verify?

Edit: Looks like you're in the UK. Still curious about the carrier though.

Port Authority - A Fast, Accurate, Efficient Port Scanner​

A handy systems and security-focused tool, Port Authority is a very fast port scanner. Port Authority also allows you to quickly discover hosts on your network and will display useful network information about your device and other hosts.

One of the fastest port scanners with host discovery on the market! Host discovery is typically performed in 3 seconds. If the device you're scanning drops packets, it takes about 10 seconds to scan a little over 1000 ports. If the device you're scanning rejects packets, it takes about 10 seconds to scan 30,000 ports!

Port Authority has no ads and will never have ads. It requires extremely limited permissions since it only needs to interact with your network. The internals are designed to take advantage of today's modern phones with multiple cores to ensure you can scan your network as fast as possible.

Port Authority is open source so feel free to take a look at the internals or contribute if you'd like. https://github.com/aaronjwood/PortAuthority

Port Authority is also on the Play Store which is the easiest way to grab it and keep it up to date for your device https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aaronjwood.portauthority.free

I've found my port scanner to be faster than most of the ones I've tried on the Play Store (including Fing!). I would love to hear if this is or isn't the case for you as my main goal was to make something incredibly fast since I saw a lot of the port scanners would take a very long time to scan devices that would drop packets instead of rejecting them with a response.
