I will try to flash now this package...

EDIT:

I don't have the phone now, but kies3 will definitly help you

Use the serial number provided by [MENTION=5770523]esummers91[/MENTION]

Serial Number: R28ga0ej6fz

Model: SM-g530T
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] jaydonstewartjts:
Isn't "SM-G530T" the T-Mobile version? I have metro pcs. Mine is "SM-G530T1"
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] PalmCentro:
the only way to unbrick your device is by flashing the T-mobile version, your phone will still work on Metro it's the same company
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] ts_root78:
Ok. Do you have official samsung drivers? If not, you should download them. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Fq8ki0bN6ca1ZRRmVNazdJNmc/view?usp=docslist_api This is them. Uninstall any other drivers. Then install these. From there start odin. Then shut off your phone. Power it back up and hold home and volume down while powering up. It will take you to a screen saying something about custom os and hit volume up to continue, volume down to cancel. Hit volume up. Then plug the phone in. Odin should detect it. Place firmware in ap slot and hit start. Wait till the phone earlier restarts. Now, I know this is tmobile firmware. It will still work. Also note that the only difference between the two carriers are each carriers network codes. Carrier apps and startup/shutdown screens are the only differences between the two phones.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] jaydonstewartjts:
OK, I just downloaded the drivers. Now do I just go into Odin and flash the OF8 file?

I give up .... This is frustrating rip phone
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] ts_root78:
[MENTION=7182952]jaydonstewartjts[/MENTION] yes. If you have frp lock you need to install the drivers, power the phone down, then restart it in odin mode by holding home and volume down while pressing power. Once in odin mode, start odin and attach your phone. From there place the firmware in the ap slot on odin and hit start. It will be the ap file that you use.

On my phone I get a light blue screen telling me I need to flash my firmware now...everyone I try it always fails like 10 seconds later... I'll try on another computer tmw
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] jaydonstewartjts:
I'm gonna explain what's going on with my phone in full detail as well as to why I'm in this situation. My phone was working fine until I decided to root it using "kingroot" the root itself was successful however upon turning of my phone and turning it back on I got the FRP message and I was unable to get into my phone. I've done what you guys told me to but now I don't see the FRP message anymore but now I'm confronted with a different screen saying " An error occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software" I can still go into Odin but I'm still experiencing errors. In the odin log it shows

___________

[Galaxy Grand Prime General] CloseCoder:
In the Odin screen, go to the PIT tab and select the T-Mobile PIT file found in the zip file, that should fix the problem.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] jaydonstewartjts:
I'm such a noob ? it worked, thanks dude?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] CloseCoder:
Thats why we're here, to help each other in need :)
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] jaydonstewartjts:
Anyone know how to disable frp? I'm gonna root my phone again but I don't wanna get the same screen as before
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] cave.man1908:
-Update drivers if needed

-Download Trap Kernal tar file via: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Fq8ki0bN6cZkF4ak1UakdweDQ/view put on PC.

-Prior to putting phone in download mode, make certain OEM Unlocking is ON! As well as USB debugging checked. (Settings>Developer Options). *Missing this step is the culprit of the FRP Lock*

-Boot into Download Mode, Open Odin, connect phone to PC, load Trap Kernal file in AP slot, START.

-Upon completion phone should reboot, download and install Super SU app:victory::cool:

I myself possess the metropcs variant and this method works flawlessly! Just don't forget OEM Unlocking ON, usb debugging checked in dev options.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] jaydonstewartjts:
Would it work if I use the one click root app. As long as I enable oem and USB debugging? If not I'll just go the pc way ?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] cave.man1908:
That i do not know, however i watch the grand prime forums like a hawk and have yet to see such a simplistic method for sm-g530t1. My guess would be no, considering the fact the Trap Kernel tar file is model number sensitive. I highly advise using pc method step by step. My advice would be to do extensive research via XDA prior to whichever method you may choose. That is if you are not feeling adventurous at all:).
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] jaydonstewartjts:
I'm kinda feeling adventurous XD Worse case scenario I get the FRP message as before. I have all my storage files and firmware backed up on my pc I could always hard reset the phone ? I'll try tmw and see how it goes.. "MAYBE" ?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] revulv:
The mobile hotspot doesnt work if youre on the g530t1 metro variant.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] jaydonstewartjts:
I noticed that but it doesn't bother me much

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

Anyone know of custom Roms for this phone? I can't seem to find any. Maybe I'm overlooking

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

Any custom Roms for this phone?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] ts_root78:
No. Not even a custom tecovery yet. I am attempting to study how to build one. In the next week or so I may begin some attempts at beginning by collecting info.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klabit87:
If somebody wanted to take up the task you could still make custom roms and kernels.

Just need to understand that there is no recovery so if something goes wrong you would need to Odin each time.

Flash using flashfire.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Jezzika03:
My metro pcs galaxy grand prime is saying

volume size is too big 46362240 < 4546560

ODIN invalid ext4 image

Am I doing something wrong?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] revulv:
Teach me to pull the metroPCS Stock Firmware and I will do just that. I work for metro and have unlimited access to these phones.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] jaydonstewartjts:
I myself don't k ow how but you can check this video out.

https://youtu.be/DyUainEJwLM

Hope it helps ?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] revulv:
Sadly I can't use this method, as Samsung doesn't have the same boot options for fastboot. I've actually already seen this video on my voyage to figure out pulling stock roms. Thank you though!
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] ts_root78:
Hey man, if you work for metro, try to find a "public serial" from metro. If you work for metro, do you mean the corporation, or a store just selling the phones. I know our corporate stors in Georgia have the ability to unlock these phones.. It's Like pulling teeth though, getting them to. The ones attached to the phone will not work, unfortunately. The one we currently have works for t-mobile. I have a metro phone as well, which is how we got the original fix. But it did contain personal data. The stock firmware would be downloadable to your pc through the steps the op described. The only thing that differentiates the phones, metro and tmobile, is the programming that makes the cell work on the cell network. And t-mobile/metro apps. But, if you want I can go through and help you set up, give you a lot of the info you need, and go from there. O ask [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION]. He is one that helped me...
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] SinWithin:
Is this topic dead now? And I did this a week ago and I've noticed a few things that I might need to fix bit idk.

After locking for a while, it will change to or from metro>t-mobile once unlocked. Normal?

I used to have SM-G530T1 but now it shows SM-G530T lol.

My voice mail shows as a 1800 number.

And WiFi calling (a known bug) works on its own but randomly gives an error code. I'll post when I get it again.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] ts_root78:
Metro told me to turn of wifi calling because it isn't a minor bug, it is a major one. He said that they've had phones do factory resets randomly because of it.

Your vm number should also work if you try calling your number from your handset.

Since T-mobile owns Metro PCS, the phones are actually all G530T.. The 1 only denotes it is a metro phone. The only differences between the two phones aside from network settings are startup/shutdown screen (t-mobile seems to be faster here), carrier specific apps (t-mobile money as opposed to mymetro), and the t-mobile default background is a ton better, imho, than the metro.. I like a beach scene. Seeing the purple and orange letters across a gray background sucks...

As far as the locking issue, I've not encountered that.. So... I cannot say where that bug comes from. As long as the headset works flawlessly, metro will give two cares less about the firmware... They've been good and replaced three primes for myself after I've bricked them.. In that aspect they are a good company.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] SinWithin:
I mean it works in every other aspect I could think of. I've been rooting and flashing roms for a few years and this is the least problematic phone I've got from metro. I have Knox 0x1 right now though you suppose they would exchange still? I got full coverage and what not
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] DerrickArm:
Okay so I downloaded the file OF8 extracted it made sure my phone was communicating with Odin and clicked stard and got this.... any idea where I may have went wrong?

Did the kingroot method work? I'm in the same boat but I don't have a pc where I can just flash things whenever I want to.

thank you very much ... I really turned out very helpful .... the only thing that when I turn the phone need to configure a connection ..... and here in my country Cuba is somewhat difficult but that .....

Can I root my phone with Kingo root then use that root to flash the image file with a flashing app from there app store
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Ramhardy:
I just want to make sure for clarification purposes, when it took me to the download it said it was for the Core Prime, is this correct? Thanks
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klabit87:
It is for the grand prime. Sorry for the confusion. I haven't had a chance to change it to the correct name
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Ramhardy:
No need to apologize, I really appreciate your effort, thank you for the clarification.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I'm that jerk here to hijack this thread

Anyone got anything at all on Cyanogenmod for this phone? I see they have CM somewhat working for the SM-G530H and SM-G530FZ, I figure I'm going to hole up in a (Wi-Fi connected) cave for the next month or so and desperately try and get a device tree going for this phone and see if I can't fart out a CM 12.1 or 13 build for this phone. It's not a terrible phone but touchwiz is truly awful. Anyway, I guess my guess for posting is, has anyone else tried this, does anyone have any info they can point me to before I start the long and winding road?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klabit87:
I don't believe there is but if somebody could provide a known working flashable zip I would appreciate it.

Then will be able to post my next bit of work.

Been working with it in my spare time and have had it done may haven't had time to post it.

Does anyone know what might have went wrong? it seems maybe this file is to big? Previously I had tried to install a root and I bricked the phone, so just trying to find anything to get the phone working again even if it is stock. I went to Sammobile.com and downloaded the Tmobile version since they don't seem to have the Metro PCS version, I got the same error message on the phone saying Volume size to big.

I would appreciate any help to get me back a working phone.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] nghia0423:

A question, I bought an unlocked service for this phone, But is unable to connect to server, I read that I need to flash but cant found a rom stock for G530T1. Can I unlock with t mobile rom? I mean usen the device app unlock? Or need to be metropcs firmware for the unlock to work?

Hello, I successfully downloaded the SM-G530T1 ROM and Odin and attempted to flash it onto my FRP-locked Galaxy Grand Prime. I've had no success. Could you kindly walk me through the process of recovering my phone with Odin step-by-step? It would be much appreciated. Thank you!

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

When adding a kernel through odin does re-partion need to be unchecked? I cant remember
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] iflipTABLES:
You have to use the PIT file so that ODIN will repartition the phone.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] nev.a:
I would suggest using king root being that kingo root has had some issues with the phone after rooting, especially with security settings and Knox as kingroot, once you have OEM unlock ON it doesn't get noticed as a threat to your device.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] kenny54:
Nevermind I rooted with TrapKernel N Odin a while ago everything works fine but it thinks there's a threat on a my phone. I stopped getting a those notifications by disabling a knox package

[Galaxy Grand Prime General] bbiigg:
Okay. I've read thru this thread because I'm looking to root my phone. Pardon me for sounding like such a noob but, can I use "trap kernel" and flash thru Odin to root my phone, a galaxy grand prime g530t?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] kenny54:
Ye

Yes you can flash Trap Kernel. I did multiple times, if when you boot up after root get stuck on a white T-Mobile screen pop out the battery and reboot again.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] bbiigg:
Excellent. And the tar file OF8_full.tar.md5? Is it a custom ROM or what?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] kenny54:
It's just the Stock ROM. Use this if you ever brick your device and need to come back to stock.

Mike, Try taking out the sim&sd cards. Put battery in uncarded phone, boot to odin mode options as described. First wipe cache partitions,then wipe phone/factory reset. Upon reboot if asked for google acct sign in use Ur acct username&password still FRPed but in ,unless like me u don't remembr. This is where u put cards sim back in, get out best USB cord and desktop PC. Tar file goes in AP slot. Pit file GPRIMELTE pit Goes in pit slot. Let phone cook Don't mess connection. Use the files from TS_roots xda thread. If ur still FRPed Summer91 kies method with quoted serial#. Both from xda thread started laat year. All these methods saved my phone from brickyard 20-30 times this year. If still FRPed Samsung.com customer srvc agent can e-mail a file u wait 3 days for. If u didn't get ur phon back after all this & u didn't sledge ur phone like I would've. Take ur time with summer91 kies method u missed a step somewhere. 1 step on any of these methods missed=FRPed . Good luck.

has anyone tried for SM-G530T1 Metro PCS??
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] PalmCentro:
Yes, all of us. In fact this thread was specifically made for G530T1 users.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] davidazus:
AFter bricking my Metropcs phone(SM-G530T1), this has gotten everything working again, good as new - except for the microphone. Not only does the onboard mic not pic anything up, a brand new bluetooth headset/mic doesn't input sounds. The laptop works fine with the bluetooth microphone, and the phone outputs sound to the bluetooth fine. Any suggestions, anyone?

edit: found a setting that permits the bluetooth mic to work, so at least it's useable as a phone - still be nice to have the mic working though!
