I have need of that, also. I soft-bricked my GGP SM-G530T and need to find a ROM to work on it with.

I have Microsoft OneDrive, and Google Drive, and few other locations I can help with by sharing space on.

Also, I am a patient tutor on "This is how you do that......" Years of practice, tons of patience.

Hope to be hearing from you.

Hey, guys, I got sloppy (tired, old men get that way!) and soft bricked my GP and need to get a rom to flash it with before I go and REALLY screw the pooch. Let me know it you find one and I'll help you figure out how to get it where you want it ti be.

Till then, It's a loaner Alcatel Onetouch training-phone, but at least it's Android KK 4.4.2, yeehaw!

Currently, I have only an Intel Core i5-2430M @ 2.4GHz (Toshiba Satellite i5) laptop shipped with Win8, upped to Win8.1, upped to Win10, but will have another Intel laptop in less than a week, and am looking for suggestions to help me decide its' OS config; single OS, Linux or a variant; dual/multi-boot Linux/Unix/??(Red Hat)?

G530TUVUAOF8 (sp?)

Ok, sorry for the slow, delayed response. I've had a plate full of things to do.

After Saturdays download marathon at the Coffee ethic, I was worn out and slept.

Sunday evening, I go to work, and in less than an hour, had gathered the necessary files, and placed them all in a folder at the root of my C: drive.

GPRIMELTE_USA_TMO.pit from the file below

OF8_full.tar.Md5 from the downloaded .zip file

After flashing the stock firmware, I returned to Odin to flash ShinySides Root files.

boot.tar these three files from ShinySide's TrapKernel_G530T_AOF8_Root.tar

recovery.tar

su

In each case, I would click first the "AP" box, then "BL" button to let Odin see the files and select those it wanted.

Then attach the phone after Odin processed the files, then Start. In each case, Odin processed successfully and I would the detach the phone and reboot. After flashing the Root, the phone booted into the setup process and began an automated restore, giving me the choice of backups Google had stored for me. I selected the one including 66 apps, mostly root related and utilities for rooted devices, went to bed and the next morning, Monday, I had my phone back, with its' new screen.

I am a happy camper filled with more enthusiasm than knowledge, but a burning desire to absorb the knowledge I can here.

I will also take this lesson to heart.

Get some sleep, fellows. Rest when you need to. My former philosophy that "I can always sleep once I'm dead" does not play well in this arena. Mistakes are easy enough to make, and more so when your mind is not sharp. Take heed, my friends.

Did you get your phone back yet?What is the status for sm-g530t1 firmware upload?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blindmodder96:
I figured out a way to Wi-Fi tether successfully on the SMG - 530t1 using the T Mobile firmware. This only works if you have a rooted device.

The first thing that you will have to do is go to the Play Store, and download an application that can convert user apps to system apps.. after that, you will have to look for the application APN manager and install it. Then open the system app mover and move the APN Manager to the system partition. After this, restart your phone. After your phone is restarted, open APN manager, and you will find an apn called T Mobile tethering or something of that sort. Select the check mark next to it, and press on the menu more options or the four dots on the bottom of your screen AND PRESS ON DELETE. After this you can tether without any issues

Is there anyway I can root without doing the trap kernel method? I don't have a PC I have a Macintosh and I was wondering if there is any root app that's working for this device.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blindmodder96:
Well, you can use King root, and then install supersu with the supersu me application. That's what I did. Alternatively, you can start a virtual machine on your Mac, and load the trap kernel that way. The benefit of the trap kernel is that you have your essay for linux status set to permissive. I've tried both methods and they both have been successful. The reason I I am using trap kernel is because I wanted to use sound modifications such as viber for Android I apologize for autocorrect in advance.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny54:
I'll just do the first method, Mac one sounds much harder anyway, can I get a link or a attachment for the specific apk of SuperSU me that's working for this grand prime. Is there anything I'll be missing out on or won't have doing kingroot instead of Trap Kernel
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PalmCentro:
There's no free SuperSu Me, head over to the play store.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny54:
Is there anything else I need to know or do before doing this? (I flashed G530T on my previously G530T1 to fix my FRP kernel Lock)
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PalmCentro:
Just enable OEM unlocking before you do anything...

Rooted it, Restarted root gone. Can't uninstall kingroot, its a system app now.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PalmCentro:
Hmmmm... You can reroot and then uninstall kinguser via the app settings.

But something is funny, it shouldn't be temp root...
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny54:
The system app settings or kingroot settings
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PalmCentro:
In kinguser there's a option to remove root authorization.

Okay everything is back to normal, thought kingroot is going to be in my system forever, anyway is their any other method that works, like will have a permanent root?

Help me guys.

Im from philippines and I want to use my network sim. But it says network locked sim card. I tried to use the device unlock on my phone but in my phone but it says the device is not eligible for unlock. If I flash the posted firmware in this thread hmmmm even I don't have any problem about frp lock something like that because I didnt root my phone. Will this solve my problem? Will I able to use my simcard on my country? I got this phone yesterday .
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PalmCentro:
I guess so....
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny54:
Sounds like a bad idea?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PalmCentro:
Not at all, but I think flashfire will only work with SuperSu.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny54:
Ideas.

So that means kingroot isn't a good option for a temp root then? Although thinking about maybe I could run kingroot then run SuperSuMe I didn't run it right after getting root the last time because I thought I should reboot before running it to avoid any problems but the root was gone.

Do you think that sounds like a better idea;

1. Root W/ Kingroot

2 Run SuperSu Me before rebooting

3. Flash Trap Kernel via Flashify

4 Reboot & Profit
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PalmCentro:
Sounds good, I personally always needed to reboot before using SuME, but it's worth to try.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny54:
Why so? and can I get a link to the Kernel for my phone?

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klabit87:

Does it ask for hotspot subscription when you try?

Is it provisioned?

As far as software goes it is working as stock should.

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klabit87:
Heimdall is tricky but it worked on my Verizon s4. But I believe that will work. Flashfire doesn't reboot until after the flash so you should still have root while flashfire is flashing.

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jupiterus:
To work on Firmware for SM-G530T1.

First run Odin (Any versions, I used Odin 3.09), hold press Volume up+Home+Power, if you see blue screen then plug in your phone. Don't check flashfire. its take forever. You should put GPRIMELTE_USA_TMO.pit in PIT and put OF8_full.tar.md5 in AP then start. You will be fine. Its worked for me.

Are you going to share the AOH9 firmware, or a link to it. I have a metro phone, but had to use the TMO frmwr to recover it, but it only supports 64GB SD card. I would love go back to the AOH9 and be able to use the other 64GB of storage. While I was recovering my 1st SM-G530T1, I bought a second SM-G530T1 and transfered my metro PCS service to this second G.P. So now I have 2 SM-G530T1's. One has been recovered with the AOF8 firmware. The 2nd has the stock AOH9 firmware. Does anyone know if and how I could use my stock G.P. to return my 1st G.P. from AOF8 to AOH9 firmware? Neither phone is currently rooted.

Good news for everyone using the Metro version of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime version 5.1.1 and soft bricked their device. After searching for almost a week I finally found the original stock firmware for the Metro PCS version not the T-Mobile version. I am uploading it now and will be available shortly.

Android Version# 5.1.1

FW Version# G530T1UVU1AOH9

Build# LMY47X.G530T1UVU1AOH9

Kernel# 3.1049-5647484

Also I have included the .pit files. Use Odin to flash both files. Connect your Galaxy G530T1 to your PC and open Odin. (I run as admin, not sure if it makes a difference but doesn't hurt to be sure.) Click on the pit tab and select the .pit file included in the package. Then check the AP box and select the FW for your device. I leave the settings as is as far as reset time and re-partition boxes are checked. Also The FRP lock is disabled. (Again I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not but better to be safe than sorry)
