I'm off work in approximately 2 hours, takes me 40 minutes to get home. I'll message you then with my findings. Hopefully this works, thanks I really appreciate your help.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
Yeah just let me know if it's set to permissive and boots. Once I know that, just need to throw the root side of things in and will be rooted. I'll probably be crashed out by then but will pick it up again tomorrow. Thanks bud
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajp87:
First tries almost never work but I got faith in all Samsung devices. Anyways it boot loops. Gets as far as only the first screen that appears regularly. Screen says in orangish red lettering,

KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

And beneath that in yellow lettering,

Set Warranty Bit : kernel

And that's on the first screen that normally shows itself first that says,

Samsung

Galaxy GrandPrime

POWERED BY

Android

I hope this helps, even though it boot loops looks like a good start though, all that stuff showing to me looks normal for modified Samsungs. And still can boot to recovery and Odin cool. FYI for everyone else I reflashed the link ShinySide posted for the stock boot.img, phone is back to normal! Until tomorrow peace out

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajp87:
Okay the way they did it on the tab 12.2 running LP 5.1.1 was they flashed a kernel through twrp, but you probably already knew that from my prior posts, anyways I'll be waiting I'm off work today thanks
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
The guy that did it for the tab 12.2 I walked thru the entire thing over hangouts because I didnt have the time to do it. And I did it for the s5 before that. Which I have a twrp and odin flashable and both work fine. So twrp isnt mandatory
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajp87:
Okay cool

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

So I gotta a question a little off topic but how did you get that stock boot.img to be a .tar.md5 making it flashable using Odin cause that's like super cool and handy?!
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
I use linux which makes it easier by just running

tar -H ustar -c boot.img > g530t_Test5.tar

md5sum -t g530t_Test5.tar >> g530t_Test5.tar

mv g530t_Test5.tar g530t_Test5.tar.md5

Test 5 using Googles stock 4.7 toolchain in hopes thats causing the boot issue

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
You'll need cygwin to do it easily on windows. I just said "cmd" because I figured you're a windows user (obviously since using odin) so you knew what I meant by run it in the terminal

Starting to wonder if its something on the device thats preventing it to boot.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajp87:
i dont know theres this weird thing in developer options that allows you to lock/unlock the bootloader, ive never seen it before but i have it set to unlock
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
Is it set to lock or unlock?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajp87:
Unlock
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
Try something for me if you have adb installed on your computer.

Turn on usb debugging

Plug phone in

Click always and okay on the rsa key that should pop up on your phone

Then in a cmd type

adb reboot bootloader

Wait a few seconds to see if it reboots and if it does back in the cmd

fastboot oem unlock

And if a verification screen pops up be warned you hit volume up its gonna wipe your device, and hit volume up,then press the power button

That bootloader check box in dev settings use to be just a nexus thing but I wonder if it is locked and you can unlock it like a nexus
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajp87:
Okay im gonna be straight with u i dont know. but at one point i did unlock a bootloader one time with fastboot oem unlock or whatever the code was. I cant tell whether i have it or not but if you tell me where to get it im down for whatever

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NWKENT:
Dev. I have been playing along with my test device, not the varient here..but just to follow along and maybe learn something..anyhow..

I done as you suggested..on homescreen..via abd..via cmd..run command > abd reboot bootloader..and YES..the device reboots..BUT run the command > fastboot oem unlock..and recieved this >> <waiting for device> in the cmd screen..

The device never responded to the command..wether or not the "Manufacturer unlock" was checked or not checked..ran the "fastboot oem unlock" command both ways..

Or have I missed something, done something wrong.? When I was with Moto and 1+1 devices, in order to unlock the bootloader, the device had to be in "bootloader mode"..not on homescreen..have I missed something.? New to Samsung devices..

Also from stock recovery mode, there is an option to "boot to bootloader"..but the device boots to homescreen instead..

I post here, so we can all learn..lol

Honestly I've never owned a device with a locked bootloader. I absolutely refuse to buy one. I just know how to do the nexus because I was bored reading one day. And with the option in dev settings, which use to only be nexus devices, thought it was worth a shot.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajp87:
I wanna clear things up, Samsung don't lock there bootlaoders and t mobile don't lock there bootlaoders, crap bootloaders I meant. Anyways I'm glad someone else verified what happens with adb right on.

I see..I'm the same..since I wized up and sold my last Verizon/Moto device..I will NEVER purchase another branded / bootloader locked device again (intentionally)..anyhow..thanks for the reply..

I'm curious how to test the bootloader state with these Samsung devices..my varient is suppose to be "factory unlocked" but that doesnt mean that the bootloader is unlocked..but in the OS Settings/Developer options, there is a choice to check or not check "Manufacturer unlock"..does this mean SIM unlock or bootloader unlock.?

I just realized this fact..and need to research the answer..

I know this is a "Root" thread and not my model..but no matter what one does, if the bootloader is locked..Root is not possible..ofcourse..you know that..but it raises the question..

There's a few tmo devices with locked bootloaders. Whether it's OEM or tmo that's locked them (like att locks them all) im not sure

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NWKENT:
Yep..Everything I have read, Says Samsung does NOT lock bootloaders..but I wonder how, one checks this per device..

Huh..yes..I'm curious as to why your device doesnt have the lock/unlock option..and what the **** does the option mean anyway.? SIM lock/unlock or bootloader lock/unlock..it says on my device which is 5.1.1 "Manufacturer unlock" what exactly does this mean.?

With anything locked, how you gain Root.?
