[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxinburn:
Okay thanks a ton for the info, finally got my wifi back after flashing the correct boot.img, not sure where it was on the original forum never saw it but luckily others that had same issue posted it.

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

Going to try to blow the dust off my builduntu box and see if I cant get us a recovery going for the cricket version, I usually like twrp but now that cwm has touch as well could go that route....is their a custom recovery built for the other variants at all yet....if so then forking those repos would be a good starting point, should only take minor edits to get it working proper for us.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenboyles72:
I already built twrp for this phone, but as you found out, the damn security checks prevent the use of it. This is my device tree, can't remember if I pushed my last commits and I dont have what I had, due to a hdd failure.

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Illyakulinych:
So can you get a custom recovery working for this device? I have tried many ways but they all ended with my flashing stock img. twrp or cwm would be fine by me. Or another alternative is to find out how to disable the security check. Anyway please find a way to get custom recovery for 5.1.1 SM-G530AZ. Thanks
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxinburn:
Okay I think we should put our heads together to try and kick this lockdown to the curb, things I have tried so far...I found that on some other variants they have the option within their settings/developer settings menu to enable oem unlock which is what we are needing to be able to flash custom recovery, I have replaced my settings.jar and settings.odex with theirs with no luck the option is still not showing up for me, but I think it may be the right direction into getting that to show up, the question i am now posing is this. Are the checks in place simply reading carrier info to allow/disallow this option? If so would we possibly be able to change the build.prop or other settings with our newly found root access to trick the device into giving this option? If that is the case then we need to get as much info from the stock devices that have that option as possible and maybe try swapping certain files out with theirs to get the option back and/or editing certain files on our own device to get it to show up. It only takes one g530AZ with unlocked bootloader to share the boot.img i would think. I had thought about flashing another boot.img or aboot.img from another variant but I am pretty concerned about brickage although I think it could be recoverable as long as one can get back into download mode. Has anyone zeroed out the download partition to see if a fastboot is hidden behind it?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Illyakulinych:
Any progress?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxinburn:
Only thing I have done Is zeroed out the sec partition which caused non problem however it did no good either....also playing around with the databases and able to change some options just not the one in wanting yet...I work a ton son my freetime is limited but if anyone that has a different variant that could share their system apps primarily their settings all and databases and xml associated with it is really like to look through them.

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxinburn:
It's not from switching to supersu it's from flashing wrong boot from what I can tell

Where did you get the CWM recovery?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrian2016:
Do you need a computer for this ? Or can you just do it from your phone? Please respond back.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flagmax:
It can all be done on the phone, be sure you flash the kernel or then you will require a computer to repair soft brick.

I never did step 6.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wally86:
No computer needed. A lot of users are saying just using kingroot only now works without the other steps.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rczrider:
But the other steps are still fine, yes? I haven't done mine, yet, but I'd be afraid to risk just using Kingroot without flashing the kernel. It's the DD for the person using the phone and I don't want to brick it :)
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokey619:
I have rooted my phone now for a few months and it works great without the boot img, but it seems like the phone is kind of rooted and kind of not rooted, because I have used a lot of rooted apps and they work fine but others like flashfire ask me if I am rooted. My other problem is that I cannot get to install the xposed framework and I want to install that so that I can get wifi tether. Anybody know a fix?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaronthedrow:
Flash fire requires SuperSU installed.

Sadly no xposed for our device as locked bootloader, no custom recovery, and no Deodexed rom. Also there is a thread in these forums with details of how to get your WiFi tethering to work without any other apps installed. Although once SuperSU is installed some of the apps you previously tried may work
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokey619:
The problem I am having is that I cant install the xposed framework because the option is grayed out, so without it I cant make x tether work. If you can point me in the right direction to install xposed framework that would be great, if it is not possible then I guess there is nothing that can be done.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfiDim42:
Google "Samsung lollipop Xposed by Wanam", it should be the first result. In the downloads section download v83 sdk22-arm. Then flash it as a zip with FlashFire (you might need SuperSU).

Wait a while for it to boot, but if you're stuck in a boot loop just keep powering it off and rebooting. You might get lucky on the first try, or it could take you several tries.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokey619:
Do I need need to uninstall kingroot? When I open FlashFire it gives me no options and says "Root access could not be aquired, or you are not running either SuperSU blah blah blah" and I am running the king root and I have installed SuperSu but when I open SuperSU it tell me that I need to update the binary then it tells me that it cant update because another root is running and I need to uninstall and this is just a forever repeating problem. What do I need to do to get xposed to work.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfiDim42:
Replacing Kingroot with SuperSU should be easy. Download the zip from the sixth step on the OP, then extract it. You will get a folder called mrw. Using a root file manager, place that folder in /sdcard. Next download Terminal Emulator from the Play Store.

On the terminal type Su and the app will ask for root access. Then type in sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh, it might display some error, but at the end it will launch SuperSU or you have to open it manually. After doing that, SuperSU will ask to update the binary and it should work this time.

Thank you very much, this helped and now everything works as I wanted it. :D Thank you for all the help and hanging on, I was about to give up.

Question

does anyone know if the Grand Prime is supposed to get the Marshmallow update and will that affect root?

It almost certainly will not get Marshmallow. Low/mid-range phones usually get only one "major" update and for the Grand Prime, that was 5.1.1.

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilDoer360:
Sure thing, I'm searching around and looking into it at the moment. The AZ is my main phone right now (but man do I miss my old S3 at a time like this, lol).
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilDoer360:
Finally got it working

Got the AZ rooted finally. A few weeks ago Cricket pushed an OTA security update to my phone and I foolishly accepted it and didn't think much about it because I didn't notice any changes until today when I was looking around in my settings. When I went to Settings/About device there was a new entry that wasn't there a few weeks ago entitled 'Android Security Patch Level 2016-08-01'. I also noticed that my Baseband version number had changed from G530AZTUU4BOJ4 to G530AZTUS4BOJ5. I believe this security update was stopping me from gaining root access. First I booted to recovery, did a factory reset, wiped the cache partition, and rebooted. Nothing had changed. Then I downloaded the lollipop firmware from [MENTION=5345928]toxinburn[/MENTION] (ALL_AIO_G530AZTUU4BOJ4_G530AZAIO4BOJ4_CL842849_QB6589269_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5). I flashed that using Odin and rebooted and the 'Android Security Patch Level 2016-08-01' entry was gone from my settings and my Baseband version was back to what it was before. Then I followed the instructions in the first post and KingRoot worked, but when I flashed the stock kernel using Flashify and rebooted it didn't stick. So I reopened KingRoot and let it obtain root again, then I followed the instructions from post #50 of this thread to replace KingRoot with SuperSU using Terminal Emulator and it stuck. I've rebooted 6 or 7 times and checked it with Root Checker each time and it's good. Hope all this helps somehow :)

EDIT : But now I have that annoying software update notification..... guess I can live with that though, lol.
