[How to]Flash latest stock, twrp and root SM-G531F Galaxy Grand Prime VE

[Boblo]

You need to flash it via image mode on twrp

Could you elaborate this? Did you mean install zip from file on TWRP?

Thanks

No the image mode is present where you flash zips on twrp just select images and then navigate to downloaded .img file it will ask that which partition you want to flash select recover

This is because when you still have an active Google-account present in the Android installed on the phone. As from Lollipop 5.1, Android detects if there is Factory Reset that happened. For example is you reset the phone from TWRP.

The only way that I have found to remove the lock if it's already present when doing a NORMAL BOOT, is to do a complete re-root of the phone through Odin.

If you can still boot the phone, then get to the settings-page, accounts, and then REMOVE the GOOGLE-ACCOUNT.

After this no FRP-lock anymore (with OEM-unlocked) as long as you ALWAYS DELETE GOOGLE-ACCOUNT BEFORE you want to use TWRP!

I'm guessing you're trying to flash twrp though.
Read the post before and delete your Google account to unlock frp and try again.

Hello

I have SM-G531F and i was thinking of rooting it.. I am using LTE and this handset is giving me lots of limitations..

I have few concerns before i do anything to my device so i ask those who has already experimented with their handsets..

After rooting, can we go into hidden menu *#*#4636#*#* ?
Can we set phone to specific band like LTE band 3 (1800Mhz) only, we can do this easily in handset powered by MTK cpu using an app.

This phone lacks the most important feature when using LTE that is VoLTE. I have heard this feature is software based, so if a phone is 4G LTE capable then it should support VoLTE as well so i don't know why Samsung removed volte from this handset. I can't make any phone calls because of not having volte.

After rooting can we enable volte from hidden menu or by tweaking the configuration files?

for me has been this one

Hey, do you have a nandroid backup of your device that you could give me? My Samsung is dead, odin don´t recognize my device in download mode, only boot in recovery, and I can flash it with cwm. Please, you could help me?

When you are in odin before flashing the twrp uncheck the auto reboot button then flash the recovery when flashing is completed unplug the device and remove its battery then you will have twrp

It's the only way good luck
