mobile odin

Would I be able to flash these with mobile odin, I have the SM-G530A UC already rooted, but I can't seem to get rid or unmount emulated sd card and emulated internal storage. And can I make a zip from the tar files from my custom recovery. When I rooted using these files, there was no recovery already out there for this new device on CWM or TWRP. I have paid version of mobile odin and flashfire.

Of all the dumb things I've done...

I've rooted every phone I've every had, and my family has ever had, and never had a problem.

But for some reason, for this phone(Samsung Grand Prime SM-G530AZ), I failed to to install the image.boot file with Flashify, prior to rooting with kingroot. So now I have the seadroid loop issue.

I read that to correct this I need to use Odin. So I've downloaded and installed Odin3.10.7 onto my Windows 10 PC.

However, the boot.img file (which has a link to it) doesn't work because Odin needs a *.tar file. However, I read through this whole thread, and I can't find a link to the *.tar file. Can someone provide the link to the *.tar file so I can download it, and install it with Odin please? Much appreciated. :confused:

As a side note, In the 8th post of this thread, by Kenboyles72, it was stated that there were 2 different image files, and that the *.tar was accidentally downloaded... well I'd love to know how to do that and have that link! :)

Cheers!

I am a complete newbe to rooting

I was hoping you could point me to some additional resources as I make my first attempt at rooting this phone. I appreciate your detailed instructions. I am just a little unsure about some of the details.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] HiwayEC:
I don't think mobile odin supports this model.

What do you need help with? I will try to guide you in the right direction.

---------- Post added at 05:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 AM ----------

Did you backup your boot.img or do you have one for AZ?

If so try one of these tools to create a tar file. Hope it helps. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/712egeipdrp6tip/AADRX2JmACJzcvsOXM0DPkr4a?dl=0

Will using KingRoot break the WiFi? Also does the At&t Sm-g530a need to be Unlocked before the KingRoot apk will Work?

---------- Post added at 03:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------

Are the Bl+cp+csc files supposed to be flashed with Odin3 before using KingRoot, or after Rooting with KingRoot via Flashify? Sorry... just trying to be clear before I mess my phone up being hasty.

Noob needs help

Forgive me for asking if this has been answered elsewhere. New to the whole forum thing. I have downloaded the files here to reinstall stock firmware on my AT&T Galaxy Grand Prime, but would like a like a step by step in using Odin. I do NOT want to root. Thank you. Sorry for being such a noob.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Hostliner:
Before
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] HiwayEC:
You use the latest version of Odin I uploaded. You put Ap in the Ap box and Csc in the Csc box as well as all the other files in there boxes. Then flash and wait till it says passed. It should reboot and back to factory you will be.

Odin is telling me not to use the pit file, so do I ignore that? I must be coming off as dumb as a box of rocks...I just learn better by doing.

Samsung Galaxy Go Prime root help

Hi. I have the go prime from att gophone the version is 5.1.1 and the model is the g530a. I have experience in rooting, I've successfully rooted my lgl16c(but then got it stuck in boot loop editing the boot img??) when I first got this phone, I had this phone rooted, but I made the mistake of not flashing things when I did(thought one click would do it) and ended up getting stuck in boot loop with att unauthorized software notice. After getting it replaced(which isn't an option anymore. I've had this phone for over 15 days), I have not tried to root again, out of fear of bricking it again. So my question is, does the directions provided by OP work for this model with latest software updates and could I be pointed to all necessary files and directions. I don't have a computer so I cant use that.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Beasty244:
I don't know if this is against rules but bump
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] b3y0ndd34th:
I have NOT been successful with the SM-G530A on 5.1.1

Kingroot app says there is no root method available. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] conanh:
Root strategy unavailable

Seems I waited too long to root this phone. For some reason, KingRoot no longer works on this model.

Anyone have recent success or know of other methods to root?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Beasty244:
You can just click root anyways and follow instructions as normal
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] zZarchieZz:
I have the AT&T go version as well, 5.1.1, I rooted my device the day I bought it with the OS directions and have not had a problem.

I have had the phone for roughly 6 months and never had a single problem with it.

Only I even wanted to root was to attempt to unlock tethering on my device and I was successful with that as well. Somewhere back in this thread I posted a link to the tethering unlock method.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Beasty244:
Tethering is natively available... Through att. I attempted to root the first day I got it but then got stuck in boot loop
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] zZarchieZz:
My tethering was not unlocked because I use the phone on straight talk pre pay.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Beasty244:
so is this method confirmed working? because i have ota updates that i got via at&t and im wondering if the security patch would've fixed this
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] zZarchieZz:
Don't know about updates never updated mine
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] budgreen374:
root any android(one click for real)

Go to google search and type in kingroot, scroll down until you find the one that says (all versions) and when you open it there will be a bunch so you want to go to the last one in the list (it should say latest under or next to the download) after you download it open it and clikck root. Easy as that now. You might have to go into your accesibility settings and allow your phone to download from outside locations which just means you can download apps from other places than just the playstore. Als another little trick to samsungs... if you go to settings and go to about phone and open it find where it says build number and click it 7 times it will turn on developer options. So if you go back to setting and find developer setting you can oem unlock your phone for any gsm network and thats where you can also turn on usb degging. Hope you enjoy your new phone. Really fast fun phone once you get rid of all the nasty bloatware apps that come on tue phone. So enjoy.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] hc803:
I've been trying Kingroot for a while this morning. Had to take it off wifi to get past 16%, keeps failing, then progressing. Got to 97% but can't go any farther than that. This is with the 5.1.1 update. Will hang loose until an update I suppose. Thanks to OP for his contribution.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] hc803:
Update: flashed stock AP file, reinstalled KingRoot, after multiple reboots get phone to show root successful. Then phone auto-reboots, and I lose root, presumably due to bootlocker issue. Any workarounds?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] hc803:
Update again: achieved root, but wifi toggle still not working, even after Flashify workaround. Suggestions?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] CricketDM:
I was able to flash this into a CRICKET Grand Prime and finally succeeded to take off the retail mode off of it by doing this. Thanks ;).

So if anyone has a retail mode and can't get the password to turn the retail mode off, this works even better. Now my Cricket phone is an ATT phone but who cares lol this is an amazing fix.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] jt85:
From what I have read there are 2 different files to choose from to download. You must choose the .tar img for the Wifi toggle to work. Goodluck
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] AstroDroid421:
Well, I've tried various methods of rooting my GoPrime (AT&T - G530A) with no success, it seems I'm a bit late to the party.

Well, actually I've just tried a bunch of different versions of KingRoot (1-click method) Running Lolipop 5.1.1. The security patch level on my device shows it as 2017-02-01.

So has there been any recent developments on rooting this device? I'd really love to get rid of the bloatware on here.

Not too concerned with flashing a stock rom atm. Just want rid of the crap apps that came with it. Any advice guys?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Beasty244:
Use Odin to flash the stock firmware(the one posted in here a few pages in doesn't have the security update that ruins this method) then proceed as normal. It worked for me

How????!?!?!?! Everytime kingroot tells me it has no way to root tried litterally over a hundred times.....every kingroot from 4n uo
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] wh2twenty2:
HiwayEC's files worked for me. You have to use Kingroot Version 4.62 in order to for it to work on a sm-g530a. After you are done getting root and SU access, you can update Kingroot to the latest version by updating through Google Play......

Only thing left now is a custom rom, but i can't find one.

Can't Root

Hi, I'm new to the forum and wanted to ask why my phone isnt rooting correctly?

I rooted my phone like 2 weeks ago with KingRoot and worked perfectly, but then I decided to unroot it because I didnt had any use for it, since my phone keep with the Personalized phone status I decided to flash it.

I did, worked (not the same Firmware, but same model and stuff, also it has some changes than the one I had before) (Downloaded from needrom.com*). I'm trying to root again because I wanted to do something.

Now I can't do this, I downloaded KingRoot for PC to root, didnt worked, KingRoot Android, It did after a while, Kingo Root did too but then failed.

I finally rooted with KingRoot and then a message appeared saying SE deactivated or something like that (since its in spanish) Please reboot to apply your security thing...

I did and now I don't have Root. Since I investigated about it, says that the problem is the bootloader. (Doesn't let the root stay). So I don't know what to now.

Maybe applying this firmware and try?

I'm not that good with this but I'm trying to understand it. So please if someone can help me it would be great.

Having issues...

I broke my phones Wi-Fi trying to bypass the frp lock. Because its frp locked I can't get flashify on the phone, however I do have Odin but it wont let use the extracted boot.img file. Also if anyone has any suggestions as to how to bypass the frp that would be valued greatly.

Is there anything I can do to save my G530AUCU4AOI7 at&t? I tried this method. I'm still getting secure fail: kernal. Back when I first rooted it (before I knew much about rooting) everything went fine after the root, a few hours after it had been rooted the phone rebooted itself and had this error when it came back on. Of course I didnt get flashify or supersu before all this happened. Anyway I've been trying to use Odin to flash the boot.image to it like said in the tutorial but Odin says it failed everytime.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigwaverider:
I made a thread previously about a speaker imbalance problem. Since that old thread was settled, I decided to make a new one with some more information about a possible fix. As I said in the previous thread that I am a serious noob only having my Android for a few days now, so go easy on me with the fancy lingo. This is a copy of what I posted in my old thread:

Greetings. I received my Nexus 6 from Amazon. It seems as though the top speaker is considerably louder than the bottom. When I flip the phone upside down, it is still the top speaker that is louder. When I turn the phone to landscape mode, it is the right speaker that it louder. I flip the orientation to where the former right speaker is now the left and vice versa. It's the same problem where the right speaker (the former left speaker) is still louder.

Motorola is advance shipping me a new N6, but in the meantime I am still tinkering with this old phone. I did discover something that caught my attention. In /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml there are a few lines that looked odd to me. I backed up the .xml file and tried to edit the orignal in ES Explorer using ES Note Editor and QuickEdit in order to set both boost values to 2. It won't allow me to save the file saying "Error occurred when trying to save file. It will not be saved. No enough space!" (yes it said "NO" enough space). I tried my heart out to figure out how to save the edited file using CHMOD in both ES Explorer and TWRP with no luck. I am thinking these reversed boost values may be the problem. BTW the headphone jack is totally fine and plays stereo with equal balance. Phone is rooted and I am using N6.ElementalX.3.0 Android version 6.0.1.

I've tried in Pandora and BSPlayer and not getting any noticeable difference in volume from one speaker to another. Stock, rooted, 5.1.1. What version are you on? Do you find this happens for all apps?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigwaverider:
I tried Jet Audio and 2 random MP3 players that I DL'd from the Play Store. It also happens on Youtube. When I am on speaker phone, I get a similar but not identical problem. On speaker phone in landscape mode, the right speaker is louder. When I change orientation, the same speaker that was on the right that is now on the left is still louder. I am using N6.ElementalX.3.0 Android version 6.0.1. The problem was there when the phone was stock. I just now tried a game called Jeweled and the issue is also in that game. Just DL'd Pandora and the same. Headphones are fine with equal balance regardless of orientation. Would really like to be able to edit and save that xml file to see if that works.

Hi. Thanks for your interest. I don't know if MusicFX is part of the stock N6 ROM because I only had it stock for a few hours. However, I am running N6.Elemntalx.3.0 after a full wipe, and I don't see it installed on the system. I clicked the Apps button and don't see it there.

I've reversed the values highlighted in OP.

<ctl name="BOOST Left Ch Select" value="1" />
<!-- bypass dsp -->
<ctl name="BOOST ENABLE Spkr Left Prot" value="1" />
</path>

The default value of the above was "3"

Changed to "1"

Now handset speaker [Top] is actually balanced and louder/clearer while in call.

ROM: crDroid 6.0.1

Can someone else try these values and confirm?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigwaverider:
VERY NICE. Glad someone finally tried. In the second set of code, was everything that is now set to 1 formally set at 3? You said "I've also changed all instances of "BOOST Right CH Select" to 2.." Were there any more instances other than the ones in the OP? Also, why is this line still set to zero?

<ctl name="BOOST_STUB Right Mixer right" value="0" />

I would try it but as I said in the OP I couldn't save the .xml file. I said this: "It won't allow me to save the file saying "Error occurred when trying to save file. It will not be saved. No enough space!" (yes it said "NO" enough space). I tried my heart out to figure out how to save the edited file using CHMOD in both ES Explorer and TWRP with no luck." If I knew how to do this I could try. Can you tell me how in language a noob would understand?
