Hi, first guide, I did because in the net there is no much confusion and not a specific full guide, so here it is.
BE CAREFUL, It seems that someone lose IMEI so before you have to do EFS backup from the recovery
1. Get files from those thread
RECOVERY -> http://d-h.st/2z8e credit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2894016
ROOT N7505 -> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087011253 credit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4899305
ROOT N750 -> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087011269 credit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4899305
SUPERSU -> https://download.chainfire.eu/743/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip
ODIN -> http://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3_v3.10.7.zip
DO NOT EXTRACT ANY FILE EXCEPT FOR ODIN.ZIP
2. FOLLOW EXACTLY THOSE STEPS credit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4661044
a) DO NOT HAVE ODIN OPEN YET
b) Stop KIES on your PC if it is on.
c) Put your phone into Download mode, BUT NOT PRESS CONTINUE (Home, Vol Down, Power at same time).
d) Connect your USB to PC/Laptop and phone.
e) NOW Press Vol Up on your phone
f) Open ODIN
g) Flash what you need to flash.
3. Now in Odin credit: http://www.androidiani.com/forum/members/sampierdarena.html
a) untick Auto Reboot
b) add the recovery.tar.md5 on PDA
c) Start
d) When finished to turn off device, keep Home, Vol Down, Power for 3 sec
4. Boot Phone normally and put into:
a) root file of your device extracted as: boot.img
b) supersu zip file
[Extra] i flashed from adb sideload, more fast
5. Turn off and boot in Recovery (Home, Vol Up, Power)
a) Install boot.img
b) install supersu zip file
6. Reboot (i swiped cache and dalvik to be sure )
MAGIC!
Finally that forgotten phone is rooted
Now you can procede to install Titanium, AdAway and so on
---TO TRY------
[XPOSED]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
----COMMON ISSUES SOLUTIONS----
[IMEI]
If someone have lost IMEI this is a tutorial to recover it.
1. From the store download: BusyBox and GSII_Repair
2. Open BusyBox and install
3. Open GSII_Repair and press on the menu Repair GSII
a) step 1, backup
b) step 2, forces mounting, reboot
c) step 3, delete and repair, reboot
Now you have easily restored IMEI
[DATA]
For the ones that have lost data signal you have to flash the right baseband with your recovery.
Or a quick fix you can try if you have the signal bar full but no data, is to go on: Settings->info->status or in Settings->info->updates and magically data will work. It is a common samusung bug.
[SEANDROID]
If the message at the start is: NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING BLA BLAH, is because who made the root kernel did some mistakes, but for now it is the only one working and the error have no effects.

how to download the first file please
doesn't work for me: When i try to install TWRP and boot into it, just the normal recovery starts. :/
I also had the normal recovery when i used Odin 3.07. But Odin 3.09 did the job.
Hmm i tried with 3.09 and still doesnt work. How much Power Do I need for flashing? Is 30% too less?
EDIT: The answer is: Yes, 30% is too less. Now everything works fine and i got root.
THANKS MATE!! :good:

Note: THIS IS ONLY FOR GALAXY STAR USERS DUE TO THE STOCK ROM USED. ALL DATA WOULD BE CLEAR TOO SO MAKE A BACKUP!
You would probably see this post as your phone is bricked, bootloop or any other software issues that you want to revert your phone back to factory version. To simplify this post, I would post it in sequence.
Tools needed: Odin in computer (I use version 3.09), Stock rom (I would provide the website below), USB cable and patience.
1. Boot into Odin in your Galaxy Star phone. (Volume down + Home + Power)
2. Press Volume up and you should see the green android there ans it say Downloading.
3. Add selected stock rom (or if you want a change, a custom rom, but it is not recommended since your phone is already brick/bootloop)
into PDA or AP section of Odin in your computer. (Odin may not respond but wait and be patient)
4.Make sure the phone label is blue.
4.1)If the phone label is yellow in colour, restart the computer and/or phone and/or reverse the order of step 1 and step 2(From what I had experienced)
5)Start the operation when ready
6)Wait for the operation to end (Patience needed):fingers-crossed:
It should boot and you can say hello to your new phone.
However if your phone still bootlooped/bricked,
1)Go to stock recovery(Volume up + Home + Power)
2)Wipe data
2.1)If you want to be safe, wipe cache.
It should boot normally by now.
This should help your Galaxy Star. If this help you please press the Thanks button and reply if you face any problem.

Another way to avoid bricked.. you can flash another rom using CWM..
so you need one working rom in your ExtSdcard.. Just in case you get bootlop. You can flash it. :fingers-crossed:

Yes, although I review that, I believe it is still safer to flash stock rom. Thanks for your advice!
Try this When u get bootloop
Flash it using cwm based recovery
And doesnt need to wipe data
So ur data save
and
Doesnt need pc also

Best of all methods (Requires Attention and basic understanding)
Understand the cause of bootloop. And revert the cause.
Eg- Bad framework
- Error in a system file
etc etc.
If u have a backup of those files u can use aroma file manager to put those files back.
Or flash a working framework(or whatever caused the bootloop)
This way it takes only 2 minutes(including rebooting), no pc needed, basic 1 second flashing all thru cwm ,no kind of data loss
,no settings changed and all apps intact.
Also if u dont have files on ext sd card put that ext sd card on a pc or something and put those files.
It saves a lot of time and no risks of data loss at all

btw volume down+home+power button is called download mode. recovery mode is different. And also your tutorial mentions xposed uninstaller. how to use uninstaller if phone bootloops and we don't have twrp recovery? :/
Sorry, my fault. I have edit it to download mode. Thx for correcting.
I don't find any boot loop. And if you do, then you can try reflashing the phone back to stock.
the original recovery is still there.
you can as well install TWRP but you will find that red kernel error on boot (enforcing).
and you can only boot to TWRP by using NDR utils -- not with buttons.
its the 6th time am getting into bootloop

It's OEM unlock under developer options. Make sure the toggle is on (lit up blue, toggle is on the right), if it isn't you'll bootloop.
yes i know, but how i can unlock the bootloader also with odin?
adiJ5FN THANKS!!!
Works fine. If someone get bootloop due later locked OEM, you can repair it by install full original rom in download mode (Power+Home Vol down) via ODIN.
Some original firmwares are there: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-j3/SM-J320FN/
Which TWRP is this one?
Oh, 3.0.2-1.
OEM mode enabled
Odin recognize device and put attached TWRP as a recorevery (TAR file given in AP section)
But, when i want to launch TWRP, i see stock recovery...
I root many galaxy devices in past, first time with this problem
Somebody can help?
Did ODIN tells "PASS" in green after the twrp flash?
" Once the setting up of Odin is done as per your requirements, click Start and the flashing process will be started. Your device will start automatically after the process is finished, and a “Pass” notification on green background will be shown on the top left corner."
Perhaps not real flashed because some errors (check the text log for succeed 1 / failed 0 - means OK )?
Hi
i'm also getting the stock recovery screen. If you select "load from external storage" then at least i can see the SuperSU zip file to install. But installing that did not root the phone when i do a "root checker" test

I had the same problem with a J320FN. Solved by means of a factory reset before installing TWRP (EDIT: maybe factory reset wasn't the key for a successful flash of TWRP, but unflagging the "Auto reboot" option in Odin should be):
- enabled debug mode and oem unlock from developer settings
- (probably unnecessary) reboot in recovery mode (standard recovery), factory reset + cache clear
- switched off, then booted in download mode (VolDown + Home + Power)
- started ODIN on PC, loaded TWRP with "AP" button, unflagged "Auto reboot" option in Odin
- flashed TWRP
- switched off the device by pressing VolDown + Power for few seconds
- rebooted in recovery mode (VolUp + Home + Power), TWRP started
- flashed SuperSU
Hope this helps

Once you have done the installation of twrp, you can try using POWER,HOME and VOLUP (Instead of VOLDOWN). This could be the problem if you are pressing volume down it still brings you to the stock recovery.

worked for me, i mean i had same issues like some of the posters but removing the auto reboot worked, vol+/home/power brings twrp ok.
I have this problem: link2sd does not work, the system does not allow link2sd to recognize the ext4 partition on start-up, I have to restart a second time.
I execute the guide for the root and the phone is ok.
Where is the problem?
ok guys, this is the easiest method for u guys who own a320y (ds) , maybe works with a320f version.
i have read many threads here according to gaining root for this device, but i got problem with twrp after flashing rom with odin. twrp cant mount /data
okay, here is the solution for u guys who dont have external sd card.
(READ IT CAREFULLY)
1. Download stock firmware related to your device (in this case, a320y/DS. but i think i t will working fine for a320f version)

==i make this tutorial because i myself had facing the problem when installing twrp. after flashing the firmware and straight reboot to twrp, the /data folder is still mounted, but after reboot to system and back to twrp, it cant mount the /data anymore. so i need to wipe the data again and again. but after installing twrp and flashing the magisk.zip file , the problem with /data is gone. i dont need to wipe /data anymore :victory: and some people are facing the lag while unlocking screen with secured lockscreen (pattern/password) after rooting using chainfire.zip . but with magisk.zip , the lagg is gone forever ==
sorry for my english, but i think u guys can understand it.
Feel Free to ask me if u guys facing problem with this tutorial, i will help!

[Guide/tutorial] Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime VELTE/G531F from stock to custom ROM
[Guide/tutorial] Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime VELTE/G531F/grandprimevelte from stock to custom ROM
This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime VE/LTE/531F to a powerful one with a custom Android 5.1.1.
Make sure your phone is SM-G531F before going further : in Android, go to Settings -> About -> Check model is G-531F.
AND note down the baseband version in a safe place (in case of device brick) : G531FXXU1APG2 in my case.
If not, quit this tutorial.
### Phone is reset and you can't access Android ? Shutdown phone, start in Recovery Mode (Hold Power + Home + Volume+) until you see Samsung logo and release buttons.
### In the recovery, on the 2nd line, look at the right part of the string after the . : G531FXXU1APG2 in my case, the first letters show G531F. It's good.
### AND note down the baseband version in a safe place (in case of device brick) : G531FXXU1APG2 in my case.

Connect phone in USB, wait for bootloader drivers installation.
Then launch Odin.exe (included in my archive) and wait for Odin indicator ID:COM to become blue.

Go to SamMobile.com and create an account (Join button): https://www.sammobile.com/join/
Select the FREE join, complete registration.
Confirm registration by clicking on the verification email.
Now visite this page : https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-grand-prime/SM-G531F/
Select your corresponding country.
Now there are many versions for your country : look in the PDA column for the ones corresponding to your Baseband version you noted earlier (G531FXXU1APG2 in my case).
Preferably chose the one independant from a telecom operator, click on this line.
Then download the firmware, it's huge so be patient.
You then have a zip file on your PC. Unzip it 1 time (using 7-zip or other tool) to keep the file named like : G531FXXU1APG2_G531FOXX1APG2_G531FXXU1APG2_HOME.tar.md5
Start phone in recovery mode again, connect it to PC and Launch Odin.exe.
In AP, set this brand new ".tar.md5".
Wait for Odin to control md5 signature.
Then flash it. Be patient, all the partitions of the phone are being reset.
When Odin green success message appears, disconnect from PC, shut phone down by holding Power + Home + Volume-.
Now start phone in Download mode right away, FRP Lock line should be OFF.
Go back to step 3) at this line : "Connect phone in USB, wait for bootloader drivers installation.".
4) FLASH CUSTOM ROM
Start phone in recovery mode
TWRP is launching and reboots.
Check never show this screen during boot again and Swipe to Allow Modifications on first TWRP launch.
Go to Wipe menu -> Advanced Wipe : check Dalvik/ ART Cache, cache, system, Data and Internal Storage partitions.
Then Swipe to Wipe and wait for operations pending.
Go back to TWRP Home menu. Then tap on Install -> choose CSR*.zip

then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end.
Then tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System.
Wait for the phone to boot during 10 minutes.
5) ROOT ACCESS
The ROM has SuperSU preinstalled so no extra work to do.
6) CALIBRATE BATTERY
In Google Play Store, download App Battery Calibration (from IMobS Ltd).
Launch the App.
Confirm root acces.
Plug tab and wait till charge hits 100%, then hit BATTERY CALIBRATION and unplug it.
You can use GPS Status & Toolbox app for faster GPS fix.
7) OBTAIN GOOGLE MOBILE SERVICES (GMS) CERTIFICATION
Google now restricts Google Play and Google apps access to certificated devices. Since you have a custom ROM, you are banned.
We now need to subscribe for the Google Play Certification.
In Android, go to Settings -> Security and activate the Unknow sources
Now use the built in File explorer app to install the deviceID app from you microSD card.
Install it, launch it.
Tap on the Google Service Framework (GSF) line, then tap on the COPY button.
In your Android webbrowser, go to : https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/
Connect to Google using your Google/Android account.
In the input field of the page, paste the 16 digits code.
Click on the Save button, a success message confirms your device is Certified.
Do I need to re-certify it ?
"Your device’s GSF ID is reset every time your device is factory reset (or when you wipe the GSF app itself) since it is stored in your data partition, so you must re-register your GSF ID every time you perform either of these actions."

Hi,
Sincerely I didn't try to access recovery again.
At least you can log to a phone where you don't know the original owner.
Sorry for that.
Looked up for newer packages for 531f.
This tutorial is up to date.

Oooooops.
LineaOS 13 is available but marked as unstable : https://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/development/lineageos-13-0-grand-prime-velte-t3874411
However users say it is pretty stable for a daily usage.
Read carefully the manual.

Hi, Touchwiz is proprietary.
You can try Lawnchair or Nova launcher.
