So try creating a new file on desktop put odin in the file then put all .tar files in the same file then try. Must be the odin folder that contains the odin program then open the odin file and insert the .tar files it should work.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] thegoppp:
i cannot even access the os on the phone it hangs at the samsung logo, and my custom recovery (twrp) will not load and bootloops, my literal only option is odin :/ can i mail my phone to one of you guys and pay you? im desperate!
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Turn phone off then press vol. down + home + power then at the first screen press vol. up. That will put your phone into odin mode.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] thegoppp:
im in odin, ive been using odin all along, but im reviving errors noted up above :/
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
I'm not sure what to say. Maybe scrap the phone if nothing works. Straight talk may replace it. But you would have to be pretty sly and convince them to send the replacement before they get your phone.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] thegoppp:
the funny thing is, im on the phone with them right now :o :o
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Awesome
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:

You know the pins for the battery? The ones one the phone. Break 1 or 2 of them off but make it look as tho it was like that.

Could you pm me for anything further
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Anyone hear of a kernel for this phone yet? Just don't like seeing the whole seandroid not enforcing when I go to recovery.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] toxinburn:
So can someone tell me does this device have option to unlock bootloader or is it already unlocked or was their some sort of exploit in order to obtain it? I have the cricket variant and we have nothing yet since the BL is locked down....The only possibility I see with it is to find some sort of exploit within trustzone sadly. I can get by but most of that is beyond me lol, I have been reading up a ton on the subject of TZ vulnerabilities but not comfy enough with attempting it just yet although I do have all the proper software etc.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Don't need unlocked bootloader we have odin.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Just saw some roms on android filehost says they are for this phone but I'm really not sure. Anyone try these yet. Just google sm-s920l rom and click the one that says android developers for Samsung galaxy grand prime sm-s920l. There are two guys with files its the second one he has 20 files looks like a few roms and kernel.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] toxinburn:
Actually yes you do I have odin mode as well, but it checks the flash files before allowing them to be written to the device for instance if you were to flash a twrp or cwm to the sm-g530az it would give you a secure boot fail when you reboot the phone. You did still answer my question though since your able to just flash custom boot image etc your bootloader is not locked, but mine for sure is anyhow I will keep searching. Thanks.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Well if mine is unlocked it came from straight talk that way. I was under the impression it was still locked but being able to flash with odin got around that.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] toxinburn:
I wish it was that simple....sadly it is not :( I think the older firmware on the cricket version may have been more vulnerable but so far all i have managed to get was root and xposed working on it which is not a total loss at least, but still want to be able to build and flash custom on it. Anyhow be glad you got the unlocked bootloader. I may have to check the price for as straight talk variant at walfart myself since I can carrier unlock almost any samsung myself with my octoplus box.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
The sm-s920l is 59 at Walmart right now they are having some deal on them. That's 200 less than I paid for it.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
honestly didnt even see this post if i had i would have done it for free.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] bfoos:
Those ROMs and kernels are most definitely NOT for the SM-S920L.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
That's what I thought. Wonder why they are marked for this?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
I just got a notification that my security policy needs to be updated. Will that mess with root status if I install it?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] jpizzle903@gmail.com:
I cant get odin to flash anything either. I get the same secute check fail every time
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Not sure only thing I can think is you guys are trying to flash .img files when Odin uses .tar files. Everything works fine for me. Either that or you are clicking the wrong tab. It must be the AP tab in odin.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] jpizzle903@gmail.com:
Can i flash the SuperSU Stable with flashify if i dont have twrp?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
No

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

I'm still wondering about the security policy update. Will it mess with root status if I update?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] jpizzle903@gmail.com:
I just wanted to state that the reason i cannot flash anything on my sm-s920l is bc of the reactivation lock being on. Also it is not possible to be turned off!
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:


---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

You can turn it off with factory reset.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] jpizzle903@gmail.com:
No i tried that and it stays on. I also deleted the samsung app completely and reinstalled and that didnt work either
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Did you try calling samsung? There may be something they can do to turn it off.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] jpizzle903@gmail.com:
No i havent called. I talked to somebosy throufh there chat service and she just ended up giving me a 1 800 # that is actually the # for straight talk(what a joke). I agree that it may be better to actually call Samsung, which i will do.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] jalen36:
Okay so I'm going to root and have very little knowledge. I am nervous and don't want anything to go bad.. I see a lot saying use king root then you guys say not. Could anyone please help me out and tell me what I need to do? Also I don't trust older posts because stuff may have changed and whatnot. All I want is to be able to fake gps and not get detected
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Has anyone heard anything on a permissive kernel?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
DO NOT use king root go to page 13 in this thread and get the pre rooted system file. Flash with odin also get the patched twrp also page 13 flash with odin then install supersu from play store update bineries then in supersu app go to settings and install to system then you are done.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] bfoos:
Seems like it would be easier and faster to simply flash TWRP and then use that to flash SuperSU.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Well maybe but when you give to many people the same info you tend to switch it up a bit.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] bfoos:
Well, my SM-S920L is not currently my daily driver (I've since switched to dated but fully dev supported Nexus 4) so I'd be glad to flash the unrooted system image and test my hypothesis. If successful, it should transgress theory and go straight to empirically proven and I shall post a guide.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Wasn't saying it wasn't faster it may be what I was getting at is there are many guides on this thread because of people asking the same question.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

And actually none of it is difficult to do either way. I just prefer to use odin.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] bfoos:
Confirmed. Simply flashing TWRP, rebooting to recovery then installing SuperSU is all that is required to root and bonus, it gets installed as a system app and there is no need to visit the Play Store.

Web site claims this ROM is for sm s920l,but TWRP says g530.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] bfoos:
Yes, spotted that a while back. The fortuna3g was a dead give away that it was not for the SM-S920L. As of right now, there are no custom roms for this variant.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] BadReligion420:
Stuck in seandroid non enforcing???

Picked up this phone thinking i could easily flash it. needless to say its not as easy as i figured. I'm not looking to find root, simply restore to stock. any one have any suggestions? its a grand prime product name sm-s920L. u can get it to odin dl mode, but cant find stock recovery file.

[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] bfoos:
It wasn't really meant as a correction (you did link to the correct page of that thread), it was more a way of focusing solely on the pertinent information.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Well thanks either way. It is helpful.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] bfoos:
No problem, it's nice to see that there is still some interest in this variant.

I got the phone in a trade for a firestick. Im currently working on a galaxy tab a6. cant remove previously synced gmail accounts. I've factoried it 3 times, wiped partition data, at this polnt ive gotta flash with a factory image. model number is sm t280? got anything?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] bfoos:
This is a thread for the SM-S920L variant of the Galaxy Grand Prime. Perhaps your query would be better served in the Galaxy Tab section of XDA.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] BadReligion420:
I know this thread is for the grand prime. i was simply asking you because you had the file for the other one. my bad
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] bfoos:
Well, if you review my posting history it would become obvious that I am only active in the Galaxy Grand Prime and Nexus 4 sections of XDA. I've never owned or even held in my hands any variation of a Galaxy Tab, so no, I do not have any files on hand for it. I merely linked you to the relevant section of XDA because that is where you are most likely to find the answers you seek. Anyway, no big deal and good luck!

bwahaha, straighttalk never sent my return package, i am now literally negative a phone, i have a sprint s6 tethered to my pos galaxy s1 with cyanogen installed, F*** you straighttalk. i want my 100$ and my broken grand prime back

so, next paycheck i am getting another grand prime, who wants to connect to a vm and play with it?

I'm confused. How do they have your phone if they never sent the return package?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] dmbolsdboy:
As I am.The times I've sent phones in on exchange,Straight Talk sends a link 2 UPS to download a prepaid shipping label Box ur phone up,attach the labek,drop it off with UPS,attains as soon as Straight Talk receives a tracking number,they email you an e-gift card in the amount to replace ur phone.

Hmmmm....

[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
So you sent out the phone before you got the cash or replacement phone?

---------- Post added at 05:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 AM ----------

Sorry wrong post replied to

---------- Post added at 05:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 AM ----------

They don't do that anymore because of all the phones they get back that are bricked because of the user rooting or flashing. Now they wait till they receive the device to inspect it to find out if it's a faulty device or damaged by user. That's why you must be tricky about it if it's your fault.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] dmbolsdboy:
It's totally amazing what a whack with a concrete block will do !
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Ya but that's user damage. They won't replace user damage.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] dmbolsdboy:
I work construction. It's worked for me under their "old system".Damn cement truck driver ran over my lunch box : (
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
That might work. But if they can access the rom and see its been modified they wont.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] thegoppp:
as in they never sent a replacement phone :/
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
They don't send the phone with the box. You have to be sneaky about it. After they tell you they sent the box you wait till it gets there then wait a week or so then call ups or FedEx who ever the return label is from and have them pick it up then when they pick it up call straight talk and tell them it was sent 2 weeks ago and you need a phone and you don't know why you haven't received it yet. They will then send the new phone before they receive your broken one. Simple...
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] sdw1988:
working fine on mine and 3 other i kno of.. sorry took me so long to answer.. if u try to access twrp any other way than turning the device off and using the button combo to boot recovery u will get stuck

Has anyone installed a custom bootanimation on this phone? If so how to do so. I would like the new Android bootanimation instead of the stock samsung.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Pnut66:
Man you really saved me

Its your lucky day. After getting twrp installed, i was testing flashing with it and BRICKED HARD my phone. All I could do was download mode or a black screen that was the same. Hopefully my nightmare of a last 13 hours helps a few of you guys out there. These are system, recovery, boot odin files. Recovery is twrp, system is already rooted with kingroot. I had a fail when i tried flashing the system file, so i flashed boot and recovery with odin, then verified twrp was working right and flashed the system image. Worked like a charm, needless to say, it was alot of work. lol

I worked on my SM-S920L for a week with no luck tiI ran across this posting. Did what you suggested and it's working good now. Thanks a bunch and thanks for your work on this....
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] dmbolsdboy:
Tried changing the bootsamsung.qmg,bootsamsungloop.qmg with some animation I'd used on a core

prime,but no luck.Only thing before boot was the blue "division of trackphone" splash.

.qmg files are found at /system/media.If I find the time this weekend,I'll continue the quest .Some pretty awesome animations to be had.

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

And of course back up the originals.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
There are some nice ones. I had the same issue with a different phone and it was an issue with the animation not being compatible even tho I had used it on a similar device. Just a thought.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
I figured out how to change them. You have to replace the .qmg files with other .qmg files I now have the marshmallow boot animation on my phone. I have it for start up and shutdown. You can skip the shutdown if you want but you have to replace the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg with exactly named files. I have used pre made .qmg files because I do not know how to make them. I did notice with the marshmallow start up animation it's a bit laggy and doesn't show the entire animation before the phone boots up but it's a start at least if anyone knows how to create .qmg files.

Also was using .qmg files for the s5, s7 and others.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

You also have to change permissions of the added .qmg files as well.

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Now I'm using the pac man boot and loop animation with the marshmallow shutdown animation and it works flawlessly.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
So, there is something called system_server 1000 that keeps asking for root access on my phone. Should I grant it or not? It started doing it the other day and I didn't have any apps installed that I usually have.

can anyone help me to unlock my s920l so i could use another sim card .. it was carrier lock and i've tried the RegionLockAway but it didn't work please help
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Either Google the how to or contact the carrier to get unlock. Some times it depends on carrier on weather it can be done manually or not
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
If you have straight talk there is no way to unlock manually you must have the phone active for one year than straight talk will unlock upon request.

how flash it in odin
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
How to flash what in Odin?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Install odin on pc then download the files then put phone into odin mode/ download mode. Start odin on pc then connect phone to pc then click the AP button in odin then browse to where you put the file click it then click start in odin on pc wait for it to complete and you are done. Also if you have reactivation lock on you must turn it off first it's very important that this step is not skipped.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Is there any way I could get another link to these? It won't let me download from here says something about blocked malware attack before it gets to the download page.

Also is it possible to wipe everything in twrp to get a 100% clean install of the system file or will that mess with odin?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] DanHutchins:
Nevermind I got them to download. Not to sure what the issue was I think I may have had a virus on my pc. I completely removed windows then read partitioned the hard drive then reinstalled windows and it's now working again.

There is not going to be a custom ROM for this device unless cyanogen team can be contacted. The one that was working on the one I was supposed to be testing decided he wasn't putting it on XDA.

There is currently no custom kernel or rom for this phone. If you flashed the wrong software why not just reinstall stock rom that will give you the stock kernel.
