Hello

Nice to see WM6 ROM is out. I wait for a kitchen, but in the meantime I would like to know what "HTC 6 button" software do?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] jpmalum:
WMP

I can't get any sound from media player, could anyone help on this?

Does this rom also support music play over bluetooth?

tnx
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] hck5:
Great job!

Hey there i have the same model and i'm happy that last night i've found your post

i used the pre-rooted firmware and i had the system ui rebooting problem after i uninstalled any of the apps

also i've seen guys who had that security tab problem from settings (didn't happened to me)

I am extracting the stock rom now i prepared everything

i also wanted so badly the viper fx cause the sound is pretty low

i searched for alternative but here you are with dolby atmos

i greatly thank you for the effort for posting this tuto

i will be back after i do the job!

Thanks!!!

Root and twrp on stock rom it's working great!!

i just flashed the wanam xposed thu twrp everything done

the only bad part is the "recovery is not seandroid" but this is just a red small message above when i enter twrp and it has no bad effect! only visual

i am clearing dalvik and cache after every flash so i keep it smooth and nice i can't wait to test modules on this phone i will post screenshots as proofs
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
Thx for your feedback and confirmation that it is working.

So have fun with your device.

BTW don't forget to make a nandroid backup before you mess around with xposed modules to get back to your rooted rom. I destroyed my system twice with xposed.... And I had to go through this procedure again (thanks touchwiz).
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] hck5:
okay

ok. thanks for the advice i was just messing with the modules and i have no backup xD

there is a pic with all i have so far [IMG="screenshot"]http://i66.tinypic.com/23mrbls.jpg[/IMG]

custom binary locked by fap lock.... shiet... this is the google account thingie

do you know any way to bypass it? it means i can't add my google account

i just tried to reboot in recovery and it's showing up and can't boot my phone so far...

ok flashing stock fixes it

and this is the ultimate fix

"i faced the same !steps you need to follow settings>search>reactivation lock>log in into Samsung account and disable" thanks to bhavstech xda member
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
Try to unlock via dev settings. Manufacturer unlock.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3495074&d=1443947143

If that doesn't work you have to delete your Google account as far as I know.

For me it is working with Google account, but I can't remember if I ticked the dev setting option before or after adding my Google account.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] hck5:
for me has been this one
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] eau4x6:
Probably a stupid question but why can't we just install SuperSU from Play Store?

Edit: Okay, I've noticed that the version in the xda thread is newer. Anyway why not install it the usual way (sideloading)?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
I don't know exactly what you mean with sideloading app.

But as far as I know root is needed to install supersu via Google play store. Of course you can sideload the app via adb shell when booted to twrp. But I wanted to keep the tutorial simple without setting up adb etc.

Hope your question is answered.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] wellaflex:
Thank's for recovery

I thing a new nice rom will coming soon for 531F :D
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] eau4x6:
Transfering APK to internal storage/sd card and installing from there (by opening it in file manager) is what I had in mind.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] hck5:
I don't think is that easy.. You must set system read and write and I guess twrp helps it installing supers in a better way than your file manager does

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

We just need a hell of a rom
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Vidura Dissanayake:
finally thank you very much! ?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] bluepower:
Hello i have a new SM-G531F and i'm trying to install TWRP but don't result.

Version: G531FXXUAOI4

Compilation: LMY48B.G531FXXUAOI4

Lollipop 5.1.1

I have samsung drivers installed. Odin 3.10.7.

I install via ODIN the tar file of TWRP with sucess, but when i try to enter goes to stock recovery.

With volume up + home + power before enter the stock recovery i can see this message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing"
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
The same strange problem is [MENTION=6939960]XelSam[/MENTION] facing, too.

I don't know why it is booting to stock recovery instead of twrp. What is written on top when you boot to dl mode? Could you post a picture, please.

Maybe it is the odin version or the recovery partition is locked.

So here is what you might try

Make sure your device is not fap locked

1. Get the odin version from op

2. Flash firmware with reboot unticked

3. Power down device and boot directly to dl mode again (do not boot the system) and flash twrp with reboot unticked.

4. Power down the device and boot try to boot to twrp

Good luck
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] bluepower:
DL mode is written:

ODIN MODE(MULTI CORE DOWNLOAD)

PRODUCT NAME: SM-G531F

CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM

SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0

SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLED

RP SWREV: S1, L1, M1

Ok. I'm going to try again.

Thanks
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
Hmm, system status should be official.

And another line that says FAP LOCK : OFF

Isn't there the newer firmware j2 available for your device? Which country are you from?

When running odin, Kies is not allowed as background service. Check your windows task manager and kill it.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] bluepower:
The phone is brand new. I'm from Portugal, carrier MEO

I think the firmware is not avaiable.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
I see, looks like your rom is carrier specific. I just checked for your firmwares, I even could not find your version.

To unbrand your device you can try to flash another version.

I used this one:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/61237/G531FXXU1AOJ2_G531FDBT1AOI2_DBT/

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK, CAUSE MY DEVICE IS UNLOCKED. SO THERE IS A SMALL POSSIBILITY THAT THIS WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. BUT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT FLASH THE PREROOTED ONE AND NOBODY REPORTED THAT, YOU CAN TRY THIS.

BE CAREFUL, THIS could RESULT IN WARRANTY LOSS. SO IF YOU HAVE TO SEND IN DEVICE FLASH BACK A CARRIER SPECIFIC ROM BACK.

So it is on you if you are willing to try it.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] bluepower:
I'm back. Thanks. I'm going to try now.

Edit: Ok, done.

I installed de G531FXXU1AOI4_G531FOXX1AOI3_TPH for Portugal.

Then get the software update to the J2.

Great job, thanks a lot.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
Glad to know you got it and thanks for your feedback.

To rule out all misunderstandings and help other people with the same problem.

1. You flashed a rom from another carrier for your region and 2. updated it to the latest version via ota.

3. You installed twrp and 4. supersu

Is that the way you proceeded.?

Did the line for fap lock appear in dl mode?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] bluepower:
Hello again.

Yes thats what i did and yes the line for FAP LOCK appear in dl mode.

Thanks a lot for the help one more time.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] superlouro:
Thank you guys for posting the correct procedures for rooting our device!

This is what I did to clean install&Root the TPH(Portugal) original firmaware:

1. Downloaded all files

klausel

gave us (thank you!)

2. Flashed the original firmware with clean flash and updated it to the latest one without a Google account

3. Shut down and flashed TWRP [Passed on Odin] [Auto-Reboot

unmarked

]

4. Manual/Forced shutdown by removing battery - Flashed SU and Xposed inside the TWRP

5. After 5 minutes and Dalvik cleaned, it's all working fine now!:cowboy:

Thank you guys for posting!
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Vidura Dissanayake:
cant i do it without flashing firmware?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
Yes, it should work, if you don't have a carrier rom that blocks twrp.

But flashing twrp and su breaks ota updates so you make sure you got the latest firmware up and running and fap is unlocked.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] superlouro:
You can try but maybe you will get blocked by having a Google account logged in

If you flash the stock without boot it and flash the twrp immediately you will get no issues during boot and daily usage ?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Vidura Dissanayake:
i tried it and recovery flashed correctly.i can boot to twrp now but i get a message Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing...any solution?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
That's normal and just a minor flaw, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do about it. And it only appears if you boot to twrp, right?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
Check mount in twrp and make sure "only mount system read only" is unticked.

If that doesn't work I need more information about your device. And which firmware you are running... Frp if frp is unlocked.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Vidura Dissanayake:
Yes system read only is unticked and there is no tick in system either..
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Vidura Dissanayake:
Here is about device
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
Ok, I see. Didn't know that there is a newer(p1) version available for our device. Could you Install cpu-z and post the image in System tab. Maybe the bootloader is Updated.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Vidura Dissanayake:
Here it is
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
Ok. Your bootloader was Updated too.

So here is what you can do.

1.wait for twrp to Release new recovery that fixed System Mount

2. Flashing and older rom e.g: j2 and see if it works. But this is not garanteed due to the latest bootloader. Sorry
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Vidura Dissanayake:
ok thanks..So should I try all new twrp versions till get succeeded?or the next version?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
You can try all versions releases for the g531f. The latest twrp is 3.0, but it is not published for our device. You can make a request on g+.

You might also try flashfire , but I didn't test it with this device.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Vidura Dissanayake:
Ok..thanks
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] XelSam:
Yes, yes, yes :D

1. Install Android 5.1.1 SM-G531F G531FXXU1APA1 XEO (15.01.2016)

2. Install TWRP https://twrp.me/Devices/ -> Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime VE (grandprimevelte) https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxygrandprimeve.html -> TWRP for grandprimevelte twrp-2.8.7.1-grandprimevelte.img.tar https://dl.twrp.me/grandprimevelte/twrp-2.8.7.1-grandprimevelte.img.tar.html

Important !

"Odin Install Method (No Root Required):

You will need to download and install Odin on your PC. Once you have Odin installed, download the proper .tar file for your device from the download link above. Power off your device. Turn on your device using the proper key combo to get into download mode and attach the device to your computer via a USB cable. Use the PDA tab or button to browse to and select the tar file that you downloaded and flash the device.

Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install."

3. Install SuperSU -> BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip https://download.chainfire.eu/743/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip

ROOT Success :good:

Thanks klausel :)
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
Could you post an image of cpu-z System tab? I would like to know which bootloader you are running, because I think the bootloader is only Updated via ota. This will help other people to gain root access to the latest firmware. Thanks
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Vidura Dissanayake:
My bootloader also only updated via ota
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] XelSam:
Once installed TWRP must immediately enter into Recovery mode.

Do not wait to boot system Android.

The next time you start the Recovery mode after system start TWRP not start .

Sorry for my English. :)
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Vidura Dissanayake:
done it..I even unticked to the boot when finish in odin..I request to bring an update to grandprime ve from twrp team..and waiting for it
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
Hello, your problem might not be related to the bootloader, because [MENTION=6939960]XelSam[/MENTION] has even a newer one.

Can you post what is written when you boot to download Mode, maybe I can face the problem then.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Vidura Dissanayake:
ODIN MODE(MULTI CORE DOWNLAOD)

CURRENT BINARY:CUSTOM

SYSTEM STATUS:CUSTOM

FAP LOCK: OFF

KNOX WARRANTY VOID:0x0

SECURE DOWNLOAD:ENABLE

RP SWREV:S1,L1,M
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
OK, looks like your firmware doesn't work because it should have the official status. By flashing another one (not carrier specific) you are good to go. In the Op I mentioned a firmware that is working 100%.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Vidura Dissanayake:
custom status came after flashing twrp..when root doesn't work i had backup via twrp and factory reset phone..then again flashed twrp and supersu.but not got a success..so i restored twrp backup after that system status became custom..however i will try flashing firmware again and try..thankyoul

Hello again mates, just to complement the information posted in the last posts

1. I did flash the SU gave by XelSam in #38 (which is not the actual latest version but it was the one which only worked for me)

2. And not missing this step: Dalvik/Cache wipe

Root done :cowboy:

(Everything was done after using original firmware for a couple of days, so google account logged in and OEM unlocked)

I have a strange problem regarding the audio jack of my device. When i hook up active loudspeakers there is an continous clicking when I'm not playing any audio. As soon as I play a Song the clicking issue is gone. The problem only appears with external speakers not with headsets.

Hello friend, I also wanted rooting original latest stock rom on my device, so I followed all your steps as you said and the end wasnt successful for me. Super Su says, "There is no SU binary installed, and SU cannot install". Please help me at this point I will be really thankful.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
So which version did you try to flash? What's your current firmware?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] SeaMonkeyDead:
SU not installed

Hi, done everything and successfully flashed TWRP recovery into SM-G531F, but when I try to install SU

from TWRP noticed this:

Boot image patcher

******************

- Finding boot image

--- Boot image: /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

- Extracting ramdisk

--- Failure, aborting

***************************

And SU isn't installed on my phone, any idea why ? Tried to install from internal storage and from external SD card. Thx in advance
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] aamnahid:
follow these steps: First of all, reset your phone, after reset, open your phone, unable developer mode, in developer mode tick "usb debugging" & "unable oem unlock".

Then, go to download mode.

1, reflash your stock(original) rom again via odin. *make sure UNTICK "auto reboot" in odin. After flash your stock rom, dont open(boot) your phone. I said DONT.

2, open your battery to force close your phone.

3, go to download mode again, and flash twrp. Then again open your battery. And now go to recovery mode.

4, in recovery flash supersu v2.52(must be this version).

5, wipe cache & and dalvik cache in recovery.

6, reboot your phone.

& finally u will get root access.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] SeaMonkeyDead:
Success

But wasn't that easy, everything goes smooth but after step 3 TWRP recovery started but after few sec closed so I just turned phone, started download mode again and just flashed TWRP, opened battery to force close phone and started into recovery, this time was not closed after few sec and everything else goes smooth even rooting. Thx aamnahid :)
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] prmbasheer:
Thanks guys. I successfully rooted my SM-G531F. Removed apps that I dont require from system, pushed some essential apps to system and have a phone with apps to my needs and liking. I am against bloatware from OEMs but missing a music player is gross. Google music player sucks. I am using Poweramp player, pushed as system player. Would have preferred a default samsung player though. Apart from that no grudges. It is a low end phone with reasonable specs for its price and it functions well, if you know how to use it.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] XelSam:
Try "jetAudio Music Player EQ Plus" I recommend :)
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] prmbasheer:
Thnx. Will try that. I need a player which can play AAC files. PowerAmp does it. Also you guys have any idea how to add more themes other than the four provided by samsung? I did find a thread which has themes but they are old themes meant for SM-G530 and all. I has not been updated after 2014. Any idea where I can find? Possible?

Just flash prerooted firmware for your device and then flash twrp
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] klausel:
DON'T DO IT THIS WAY!!!

It's recommended to do a full wipe before flashing pre-rooted ROM to prevent random reboots and reboots after installing deinstalling apps.

So be careful

[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Boblo:
Hello, I've followed all steps from post #1, and I also get the annoying message "Recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing" when I boot into custom recovery. But I have one issue with TWRP so far. If I tap the Reboot button and then the Power Off option, my phone is REBOOTED, not shut down. I've installed version 2.8.7.1 from here, although version 2.8.7.0 is shown on screen. I've not flashed ANY firmware, I'm using newest firmware revision updated via OTA before flashing TWRP with Odin3. My phone is still UNROOTED.

Thanks

Don't Take your hands off until you boot on to TWRP from thé three buttons, viz, volumeup, power home. May Take 3 or 4 minutes.

I didn't mean that. I enter in TWRP recovery without problems, but I've found a glitch on this tool: If I tap the 'Reboot' tab and then the 'Power off' tab, my phone is not powered off, is rebooted.

Do you need unlocked bootloader to get TWRP?

I have already rooted my Grand Prime Ve with odin now i only want TWRP but i have searched google and it says that i need a unlocked bootloader to get TWRP so will this work? I am a noob :p
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Boblo:
Go to Settings > Developer Options and tick the 'OEM Unlock' option. Now go to Settings > Accounts and remove ANY Google account (important). Now you can flash TWRP with Odin 3. Remember to uncheck the 'Auto Reboot' option.

How do you have rooted your device? This tutorial gets root access by flashing first TWRP and then installing SuperSU using TWRP.
