[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njturner84:
Hi everyone! I want to say thanks for all the great info you provide in these forums! You have helped me root many devices successfully. This is my first time posting a thread here, and I hope someone can help me. Here goes...

I have the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime U.S. Cellular (SM-G530R4) that I am trying very hard to root. I tried King Root, which said it could root my device, but after doing so the first restart of the device resulted in a soft bring with big message saying Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock. I've done hours of research and that seems to be common problem. So I downloaded and Flashed Stock firmware back to the device successfully. I did more research on rooting my phone and all I can find for other methods is CF Autoroot. Typically this works well for me, but on this phone it is not. Here is whats happening when I try to flash CF Autoroot -

I enabled USB Debugging, restart my phone in download mode and connect to USB. In Odin I select PDA and select the CF Autoroot TAR file. Click on Start. Odin reports: File analysis-success, setupconnection, initialization, Get PIT for mapping, firmware update start, singledownload, recovery.img, NAND write start, FAIL! complete(write) operation failed.

At this point I look at the phone which on the download screen reports: Product Name-SM-G530R4, Current Binary-Samsung Official, System Status-Official, FRP Lock- On, Knox Warranty Void- 0x0, Qualcom Secure Boot- Enable (CSB), AP SWREC: S1 T1 H1 R1 A1 P1, Secure Download-Enable, CUSTOM BINARY(RECOVERY) BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK. (Note that when trying to flash CF Autoroot, the FRP lock message includes "Recovery" where as when the device was already rooted with King Root and then restarted, the message did not contain the "Recovery" but was otherwise identical and stand alone in BIG letters. With the device already rooted by King Root, FRP Lock actually bricked the device. But when trying to root with CF Autoroot, FRP lock only blocked the flashing and I am able to restart the device and load up as if nothing ever happened. I really want to root my phone, but I need your help to make FRP Lock allow flashing the custom binary, and to do so without soft bricking it!! Ive seen a lot of people with the problem of FRP Lock softbricking their phones, but I can't find anything at all on FRP Lock stopping you from even flashing the custom binary. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!

P.S. If its of any importance The device is US Cellular SM-G530R4 - Android 5.1.1 - Baseband Version G530R4TYU1AOL2 [This is the newest Update] - Build Number LMY47X.G530R4TYU1AOL2
[Sony Xperia ZR] vish9180:
hello. I was using an xperia zr with a ported slim rom which was working just fine except for an earphone problem related to roms above jeallybean 4.3. So in order to give the phone to a friend to use i tried to revert back to stock rom using flashtool which i have done a lot of times. There was no error. i booted into jellybean stock rom and the factory startup service message kept popping up so i went with the use the phone option. The phone was working fine for about an hour then while i was updating apps from google play it just switched off.when i rebooted it the phone would boot up till the sony logo and then power off. The phone gets detected in androxyde flashtool and i tried to flash other stock roms but i am facing the same issue of booting up to the logo and then switching off.

Anyone ever faced similar problems ? ANY IDEAS OR SOLUTIONS ?
[Sony Xperia ZR] Røbin:
Did you tick wipe data and cache in flashtool before flashing the rom?
[Sony Xperia ZR] vish9180:
Yes I did.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Røbin:
Use different rom(Kitkat/lollipop)
[Sony Xperia ZR] rahulvr:
take the battery out from phone and connect the micro usb to the phone.(do not plug the usb cable to computer now)

start the flashing process .

when it says to connect the phone by holding volume down button

insert the battery and plug the usb to computer by pressing vol down button.
[OnePlus X General] saurabh40629:
A lot of people complained about noise cancellation on custom ROMs , but there has been hardly a solution. I came across post from [MENTION=358064]pdagenius[/MENTION] and searched based on this tip . Similar issue was happening on oneplus one with cm12.1. Even 6P has this issue. Solution for both of them points to

BEFORE FIX

ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true

AFTER FIX

ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true
persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false
persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false
persist.audio.fluence.mode=endfire

Edit: Updated persist.audio.fluence.voicecall to true after confirmation from [MENTION=293413]hib1000[/MENTION] and others. Seems like it's working for most people.

The following build.prop config works as expected on CM12.1

ro.qc.sdk.audio.ssr=false
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true
persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false
persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false
persist.audio.fluence.mode=endfire
persist.audio.aanc.enable=false
[OnePlus X General] saurabh40629:
Cool. Did you try at any MM ROM? Probably I will test before and after and see if it makes a difference. At majority of the places, I found posts saying change persist.audio.fluence.voicecall to true.
[OnePlus X General] ukanth:
Nope. Not on MM. I doubt these changes will fix it. but give it a try.
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
Edit: its working for me on rr,hell yeah:D

Background noise is now minimal/almost none.

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

And yes without being it true,any of above changes haven't had any effect for me,so its a must i think
[OnePlus X General] saurabh40629:
That's indeed a good news. Once we have more confirmation, we can probably let devs know about it. Did you make all changes mentioned by first post or by [MENTION=3249429]ukanth[/MENTION]?
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
I used first four lines from op fix, but as i use divine beats i had fluence type set to endfire , so a total of five lines are there in my build.prop
[OnePlus X General] saurabh40629:
So you added persist.audio.fluence.mode=endfire in addition to 4 mentioned in OP, correct?
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
For me it was there due to divine beats,but you can say so ie to also add enfire mode,although i dont have any idea of its effect overall as i haven't tested without it
[OnePlus X General] saurabh40629:
I will add that in OP. Awesome work. :highfive:

Yeah:D:good::highfive:
[OnePlus X General] fagin:
Hi, can you please post a guide to go to the code that needs to be edited?
[OnePlus X General] ultrasra:
It would be interesting to see if this works for MM.

I have the purity Rom, in the call it has no problem, different as regards the whatsapp audio messages, very bad .. !!!
[OnePlus X General] saurabh40629:
I made the changes and tested voice recording. It seemed fine , so I guess there should not be any problem during call . But whatsapp audio message were pretty noisy, so it does not work for whatsapp.
[OnePlus X General] saurabh40629:
You need to edit and add/change these entries in build.prop inside root/system folder. There are plenty of tools/ guides available on google about "how to edit build.prop", I won't be able to explain better than that. Its pretty simple.
[OnePlus X General] hib1000:
Hi, just to confirm what I did that seems to work :)

Changed the following;

ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence

All of the following were added to the build prop config;

persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true

persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false

persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false

persist.audio.fluence.mode=endfire

Note that persist.audio.fluence.voicecall is set to true not false. When set to false the changes did not work. I am literally copy and pasting so I can't explain any of this, but I did some extensive testing, including calling a friend who had previously complained about call quality while sat next to a loud TV, and he said it was pretty much perfect.

Can anyone actually technically explain what these changes do, why it doesn't happen in OOS, and why something so simple hasn't been merged into the cm13 nightlies?
[OnePlus X General] Exodusche:

Using different SIMs in both slots

Flashing a custom ROM

I searched a lot for an ics stock rom, and finally found it.. installed it with odin, all good, now rebooting..but its stuck at samsung logo.. and it stays there, and if i go in recovery it shows some red errors, something like ''can't find system dir, or data'', and can't mount them.. installed another recovery, tried twrp, and cwm.. and i saw that system partition is 1044 mb occupied, so the rom is there, installed.. but.. can't boot.. also, every ics rom tried isnt working, just isn't booting.. only 4.1.1 + ... i want to try ics because im fed up with ram problems and poor battery life.. it should be 1 gb ram, and my battery is 2850 mAh ... :/ ...some help.. thank you :rolleyes:

ps.. tried cm9, still stuck at boot..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
You can't go back from a newer JB-firmware to ICS easily: it has another efs-format (makes loose IMEI) and needs another bootloader. Use search function to inform.

ICS isn't necessary for good battery life. Try NCS-ROM (JB) or Slim (KK or LP).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadyslim20:
i will stick with NCS ROM, good ram management, very light rom.. KK is boring and not baterry friendly.. and lollipop is too laggy.. so ics isn't worth it on S3?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
I used NCS for 1 year, but JB isn't safe anymore. So I'm on SlimLP. It runs fine, if you don't install elephants. As batteryfriendly as TW. ICS is out of area IMO and tricky to go back.

But if you have such strict opinions about various Androidversions, why do you ask?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadyslim20:
well,i tried so many roms and my favorite android version is lollipop..but every lp rom tried ... the ui feels laggy.. can't compare it to stock lollipop on other phones , and that is annoying.. my opinions are not that strict, its just.. every android version left me with an impression.. btw, what do u mean with JB isn't safe ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
security leaks...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sureshtuty:
You can go back to jb to ics. If you face imei lost problem, u can easily fix it by flashing modem.

Try this Ics custom rom. Epsilon Project - ICS - V3 and use older version of cwm recovery to flash this rom.

I tried this rom a month ago good battery life than other roms. But ics rom don't support more new apps :p

I suggest you to try Liquid smooth KK rom ;) Use greenify and Amplify to get good battery life.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charly-whiskey:
I've set up fingerprint sensor to unlock my edge (FY), but since I've updated to MM 6.01 every now and then (or after restarting the device) Android insists on entering the backup password.

EDIT:

I've noticed that it requires the password always after having been automatically restarted.

After updating to MM it worked fine for some days, but the longer I have used it the more often it freezes and reboots. Now there is no chance to navigate with maps and listen to music for longer than 20 min. and bang! freezes, reboot, password!

Anybody else having this problem? Any solution to this? Of course, I have fully wiped, reflashed the MM-firmware again and again, but still no clue.

EDIT 2: Downgraded to 5.1.1, the phone is useless with MM

EDIT 3: Seems NOT solved by the latest FW "DJ1"

Edit 4: Solved with DPK2 Firmware via Kies

Does yours pop up the SD card emblem as well and tell you its for media and pictures?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dug-e-fresh:
I am getting the password prompt when not rebooted, the SD card issue and my night clock is broken. Reallly peeved at this.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charly-whiskey:
Yap, SD-card popup also. I've sometimes serious lags (not very often) up to a complete freeze of the device, which sorts itself out by just waiting some 10 minutes or so.

I believe that it has to do with the new Google maps app voice . I deactivated it and run the test now whether it solves the prob or not. Until disabled vocal guide in maps yesterday no freeze or backup password request appeard. Keep fingers crossed.

EDIT: I can replicate the reboot, it always appears when maps is running. Makes the phone nearly unusuable.

Yes, this is the bug. And it is still there with DPE3. MM reboots from time to time by itself, hangs for some minutes, then requests the pw-input. Most of the reboots happen to me when I drive using Maps, listening to Power Amp music via Bluetooth - that ends up nearly always with a silent reboot.
