Wealp, just as soon as i got it, i ****ed it LOL
Gotta download the complete firmware from SamMobile and repeat the proccess.
Tried paying with android pay, it read my card cannot be used.
Went to SU > Disabled "root" > Didn't work (android pay) > Restarted the phone > Wouldn't get past t-mobile logo. > Tried re-rooting it without original firmware > Wouldn't use the first slot (only the second) > I'm ****ed. > Downloading SamMobile firmware as we speak.

Hi I am working on 5.1.1 port to g530f from this phone, I have extracted update zip for twrp recovery, installed on 530f, but the phone is booting to recovery instead of system, it looks like these very similar phones have different partition tables, I was wondering if you can compile the kernel for 530f? this is partition table of 530f:
I can do nothing with that. Partitions aren't set in the kernel. If you're having extraction issues that's all on your side and your updater script in your twrp zip is wrong.
I am confirming this worked for a SM-G530W Canadian variant

As per this post I made working root for SM-G530W
Thank you and I hope you continue to contribute to us through XDA

Thanks for the tip I have used different android kitchen, added the proper partition names in the update script, now I can boot 511 with your kernel on g530f. Everything works except nfc and camera, it shows pop up "Warning Camera failed" also phone vibrates every minute or so without any notification.
Speaking of Android Pay, I'm hypothesizing that because kernal is not being enforced by Samsung (and root of course) that's why it doesn't work. Haven't tried without unrooting the device.

Thanks so much.. I will show my thanks by thanking this post and saying thanks 
Re: when restart red message kernel is not seandroid ,, etc .. how to fix it
You will get this message because of the Samsung KNOX system. It is their way of shutting the phone out of the ability to use Samsung Pay.
Aside from that, I have had no other ill effects.
In my case that warning does show up when booting but is only one of several normal screens that go by during the boot up.
The message itself does not affect the operation of my phone in any way. It boots up quickly and fine.
It was truly terrible to not have root before this and even worse that this "SG-530W variant" seems to be forgotten in the development world.
No custom recovery kinda sucks as I'd like to see a custom ROM or too but root is essential here for all the things the phone gets used for.
Does this message "kernel is not seandroid" cause any problems with your phone or does it simply annoy you?

Hi, I have forked your kernel for G530FZ on github, tried to compile it with device tree from FZ, I am missing a command to compile working dt.img in build_kernel.sh script. Do you know the right command for this? I tried dtbTool and dtbToolCM but it always ends in boot loop.
no worked in g530T 5.1.1

Root method for AOF8 / 5.1.1 for the SM-G530T THIS WILL TRIP KNOX. If you don't want to trip knox don't use this. If you do use it and whine you tripped knox because you didn't read ,we will all point and laugh at you.
Named it TrapKernel because well its not my normal HispAsian Kernel and I listened to a crap ton of Trap Music while doing it.
Thanks to @g.lewarne and his root method with his Unibase and Unikernel for the s6 , we finally have root after I ported it over to us. So be sure to thank him for his work.
What's included:
Auto installation of root and busy box
Kernel set to permissive
Otherwise stock
So here's the deal. Stupid simple.
1. Put Phone in Download mode
2. Open Odin
3. Connect Phone
4. Put Kernel in AP Slot
5.Flash it
6. Reboot and profit
Notes:
Download SuperSu from the Playstore. Its not included.
If it doesnt boot on first boot, pull the battery and reboot
Download
Do NOT mirror this link. Period.
TrapKernel AOF8
Special thanks to:
@g.lewarne for the obvious reason of being awesome and his root method for the s6.
@ajp87 for testing multiple tests
@Chainfire for SuperSU
4
10,000+ downloads + 16 thanks= nope.
Not a "thank me whore" but seriously ?
It's just a counter that everyone makes a huge not needed big azz deal about. Does prevent some, not that really used by anyone, features not work like private mode, but there's fixes out there for it.4For the tmobile varient make sure you activate developer options and click usb debugging mode so the root takes effect. that should be added in the steps but it isnt. go to settings > about device > tap "build number" like 7 times, it will notify you 3 steps before it activates. go back to settings and click developer options and check usb debugging. also because odin has updated, the slot isnt called AP its called PDA. click n load TrapKernel there. Flash that and your phone should auto restart. make sure you enter download mode by turning the phone off and holding Volume Down button, Home button and power button simultaneously then it will prompt you to press Vol Up to (Continue).... Then you are in Download Mode. connect your phone via usb cord.
This is for those that are new and dont want to sift through pointless comments or arguments in this thread. Good day all3Heres the source set to permissive for anyone that want to fork it and build a kernel that'll allow root:
Permissive Kernel Source for the G530T3
I am personally working on a twrp for the devices. No roms are out yet either. But we do have stock firmware that is flashable by odin. I can personally send files that may be useful tto you as well. I have a lot of the partition sizes, lists of bloat, and various others...
