[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.
### If it is another model, quit this tutorial.

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

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.
What is the best rom for this 531f phone? My mom has one and on stock rom it sucks badly.

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.

Awesome work.

Newbie with i717 Unrooted stock JB. Due to apparent lag issues since updating to JB, I would like to improve performance by installing either Padawan or Stock deodexed_DEBLOAT ROM.
1. What are the differences between the 2 ROMS?
2. Where can I find the detailed steps to follow to install the Padawan ROM?
3. Where can I find the detailed steps to follow to install the deodexed_DEBLOAT ROM?
Go to the development thread. Each rom has instructions on how to flash. GL
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I've use the Padawan jb 4.1.2
Its a great ROM. There were still some lag issues that some were experiencing. I did not. Maybe just what you use with it and how. There is also a kernel made just for it allowing over clock(oc) I liked it. Anyway there are a couple other ROMS available. The BlackStar X ( ICS 4.0.4) is a must if you haven't experienced it. Anyway hope this helps a little. Experiment a little....

I flash everything. There is no other way to know what you will like. It's all about how you use the rom. And remember, every phone responds different to different roms, the phone has a mind of its own. I did enjoy the padawan....great rom! Myself, I'm not much into stock roms though....Just have fun! :cyclops:
Stock deodexed debloated is just at&t official JB deodexed and debloate. You can look up the meaning of deodexed and debloated means getting rid of at&t and samsung crap apps.
With Padawan, the dev took the stock rom (probably the deodexed, debloated rom) and made some performance tweaks.
I have used previous versions of Padawan and they have been rock solid and stable. Paired with the custom OC kernel, it may be the best rom option
Sent from my SGH-I717D using xda app-developers app
I have always used Padawan since version 4. Bought my note used, unlocked, rooted, then flashed Padawan.
Never felt the need to try another.

You really never tried any other roms?? That is amazing if it be the case. It is too easy to try the many, many great roms out there, to not do so. IMHO. Backups work wonders so you can go back with little hassle. Just curious.
Thanks to all for your help. i717 is currently UNrooted with stock JB 4.1.2. My plan is to flash either the debloated_deodexed ROM or the Padawan ROM (both of which are pre-rooted) using the following procedure:
1 It is not necessary to Root UNrooted phone before starting this procedure
2 Backup items on internal sd card (phone folder) to external SD or Computer
3 Odin307.zip file - extract 4 files to computer Desktop
4 openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-quincyatt.img.tar file - copy to computer Desktop
5 SGH-I717UCMD3_4.1.2_Stock_Deodexed_DEBLOAT.zipfile or Padawan_JB.zipfile - copy to root of External SD Card
6 Unplug phone and power off
7 Open odin3 v3.07.exe on computer desktop and click pda button
8 In pda dialog, browse to desktop and select openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-quincyatt.img.tar file, which puts link to twrp file in pda entry area
9 Put phone in download mode - hold vol down button and plug in usb cable
10 At warning screen, push vol up to continue and go to downloading mode
11 On desktop computer see connection under ID:COM (blue highlight) if no connection, may need to install drivers. curser should be blinking in phone entry area
12 To flash recovery, click start - recovery takes just a few seconds resulting in green bar at top left and RESET in blue highlight (& later PASS in green highlight?)
13 Phone will auto reboot - unplug phone after reboot starts (music tones)
14 Wait for phone to completely reboot and then power off phone
15 Push and Hold vol up & down and push power button
16 At Samsung logo, release power button
17 At Teamwin display, Release vol up & down
18 Push backup & with Boot, Data and System boxes checked, swipe to backup (2-3 min)
19 At finish, swipe to unlock
20 Don't reboot system, backup to screen with buttons
21 Select wipe button & swipe to factory reset
22 Select Advanced Wipe (may require backup to prev screen) & then select system and then swipe to wipe
23 Press Back button or backup arrow one or more times to screen with buttons and then select Install button
24 Find ROM File on SD Card: SGH-I717UCMD3_4.1.2_Stock_Deodexed_DEBLOAT.zip (or Padawan_JB.zip)
25 Select the ROM File with finger and then swipe to confirm flash.
26 After Flash, the word Successful should be displayed
27 Select reboot system (If TWRP offers to fix SU, select do not fix) and leave alone for 10 minutes after it boots up
28 Go thru setup process. e.g., when Use Google Location screen appears, select FINISH, etc
29 At home screen select Apps Icon - ATT Smart WFI is there but most other att apps & bloatware are gone. SuperSU is also there
Two Questions:
1. Does my phone have to be rooted BEFORE I begin the above procedure? (Update - not necessary to Root)
2. Are there any apparent errors in the above procedure?

No your phone does not have to be rooted to do all of this. That is by far the BEST and informative procedure I've read. The only thing that is not included in the list is downloading the custom pre-rooted rom onto the sdcard.

I ran padawan but now I'm running debloated. Some reason it runs smoother on my phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I have tried few other ROM before Padawan, but I like the stability of Padawan.
I am now running Telus official JB and debloated it myself. Padawan JB is AT&T based, and it is missing few things that I am looking for, but Telus has them.
I am just wishing ptmr will do a new version of Nebula, which is like Padawan, but based on Telus.
4.1.2 ends up getting laggy and extremely slow for me...clearing cache and such helps but always goes back ... I've flashed all of them .....4.2.2 is smoother on my device

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

ZoomChick v3.0 ( Light custom Android 4.2.2, C-101) June 20, 2019 Current as of March 28, 2020
StoolChuck v12.0E/v12.0P ( Light custom Android 4.4.2): the project is closed due to the fact that on Android 4.4.2 the phone is switched off (with or without battery) dies after a few days (months). The memory chip of the MMC is dying. This happens on many phones. Perhaps an error in the system or the manufacturer himself laid the opportunity. No matter how many times and what firmware (Android 4.2.2 or Android 4.4.2) you have flashed your phone, you can safely return to the Android 4.2.2 firmware. Before using any modified firmware, you must completely remove the errors and garbage after previously installed firmware using. The phone's firmware does not overwrite the system area (EFS) where individual phone data is stored. Read the manual below to do this.
ZoomChick v3.0 features:
- two Launchers: last version superlight Emerald Luncher (182 kb), and light RL-Launcher (833 kb)

TabuRetCo v15.0 does not support Google Play Store, all Google Play Services are cut. Instead Google Play Store use Blackmart (Attention! In some countries, the use of this program is prohibited by law).
Or flash StoolChuck v9.1 its support all Google Play Services and Google Play Store.
Hours batteries during normal use (no games and other violence over the device) when properly calibrated battery after flashing 3-5 days (on TabuRetCo v15.0) and 2-3 days (on StoolChuck v9.1)
It's possible do downgrade from this rom 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 stock or TabuRedCo? Not bricking a Phone?

It`s possible cause this rom 4.2.2 TabuRedCo does not contain the bootloader. After flashing you will have your old bootloader from 4.4.2. Even if it does not work, you can then flash 4.4.2 StoolChuck
In the title of a new firmware mod
Now new ROMs 05/20/2017. Please, test StoolChuck v11.1 Rom

Go to recovery (TWRP), clear with marking all boxes in Advanced Cleaning (include dcash,cash,system and others), then turn off the device, then flash follow the instructions for the firmware starting from point 7.
Stoolchuck 9.1 downloaded 6570 times and Stoolchuck 11.1 downloaded 4 times cause it's new - no one wrote me about the problems)))
And what means "no booting"? No switch on or bootloop?
No booting means Samsung logo and after that black screen and hot phone
---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------
your suggestion doesnt change anything. Same s..t
stojko007 said:

What 442 has phone before flashing 9.1? What 442 has phone before flashing 11.1? Stock firmware? What number of stock firmware? Stock firmware have no TWRP recovery only standart recovery. Before flasing firware you must flash TWRP recovery by Odin 307. After that do as I wrote above.
If the phone is warming, remove and insert the battery.
Before flasing firmware you must do all Advansed wipes in TWRP recovery (SD-card will be cleared)
After flashing firmware, automatically boot Android. Go to TWRP recovery and do wipe cash, dalvik-cash and data (not system), then reboot to system (Android).
If it does not help:
- flash stock firmware
- flash TWRP recovery, then all wipes
- flash 11.1, then wipes cash, dalvik-cash and data

I did not install or test the 442 firmware.
I tried to make it so that you can put Gupps on your own, either full or at your choice lightweight. You can check this only at 442. You are not the first who could not deliver it. I'm trying to make this as easy as possible.
If you want me to finish this firmware, then put yourself a factory 442 and Open GApps App on it - I applied it to this post. If it works, let me know - I will correct it and add some system applications to the firmware. If it does not work, I will remove it from the firmware as it is preinstalled in it and because of this the error when loading hangs up the logo -bootloop. If the program does not work, also let me know - I will remove it from the firmware and add the necessary Gapps.
Thank you, I'm waiting for your testing!

You must do the full backup of phone in TWRP-recovery before flashing. Then in TWRP clean the Cash, Dalvik-cash, Data, System. After flashing clean the Cash, Dalvik-cash, Data. May be v12 will not working, cause I have no time to test it. However you will back up your old system in TWRP.
Android 4.4.2 is not so good))) A4.2.2 is the best quality camera and 120 min video and any more, but A4.42 can connecting with watches and TV-remote)))

Do I have to perform steps 1-8 if I'm already in Nougat?
Has someone tried this on an SM-A320FL with Android 8.0 and SD card inserted?

It's works fine.
This is NOT my work (Ianmacd) and guide is written by Mr Pickles all credits to him for his install method.
Also this is just a copy and paste but the guide is well written and TWRP should cause less issues.
I'm sure Gieti94 is just perhaps busy with other commitments, credit also to him for his fantastic efforts.
Just a new space for the currently working TWRP so all don't get in a pickle.

Install Guide (Draughted by Pickles) very well written.
---------------------------
- NOT A SINGLE STEP IS UNNESSECARY
- DO THEM _ALL_ EXACTLY!
- ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE GONE - BACKUP!
---------------------------------------
DO NOT INSTALL MODPACK FROM SOLDIER - IT BREAKS TWRP!

If you have any problems - contact @PiCkLeS or on Telegram by PiCkLeS or @rp4k

0 - No matter what you have today, no root or Magisk-only solution or TWRP with Magisk-solution, do ALL the steps..
1 - Make sure you copy the "Magisk_Manager_Ian_install.apk" file and "Multidisabler-g97x_by_Ian.zip" file to your sd-card before you start!
2 - Download latest firmware via Samfirm or Frija or in any way you can, and unpack.
3 - Boot your phone to Download mode (Power+Bixby+VolDown) and remember to have the USB connected to your computer, it won't boot to DL-mode otherwise
4 - Keep autoboot etc in Odin settings, put each file in its place (AP, BL, CSC etc) and _dont_ use HOME_CSC, use CSC-only-file.
5 - After Odin is done, your phone will reboot automatically - let it! It can feel like forever, but let it do its restarts and stuff until you are in system-setup
6 - Do the setup as per usual, CONNECT TO WIFI but you can safely just say Skip on sign in and other stuff
7 - When setup says its all finished and you get to the standard launcher - go into Settings and enable Developer settings
8 - This step IS necessary.. If you don't do this step, you might get in pre-normal rrm state and you will have wait 7 days to try again: Enter Developer settings and look for the "OEM Unlock" switch - if you are rooting for the first time, Enable it. If you already have root since before or unlocked your bootloiader before, just confirm that its Enabled and graded out.
9 - If you already have an unlocked bootloader, skip to step 12. If not, continue with step 10.
10 - IF you never have unlocked your bootloader before, Power off the phone and boot into download mode again. You will see the long press volUp option for unlock bl, do that.
11 - IF you never have unlocked OEM before, boot the phone again, do the setup without signing in etc but connect to wifi, enable dev settings, go into dev settings and check that OEM now is enabled and grayed out.
12 - Reboot the phone in recovery mode (Power+Bixby+VolUp and keep holding until you are in stock recovery. Choose and do a factory reset.
13 - Reboot to bootloader with option in Recovery.
14 - Flash the tar you got (S10x-TWRP+Magisk_fixed_by_Ian.tar I Odin in the AP-slot. DISABLE auto reboot in Odin first!
15 - When the tar has flashed - Do as instructed on the phone, hold Power+VolDown for a few seconds and AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK -> quickly press power+bixby+volUp for a _long_ time, and I mean it can feel as if its a full minute! After a while you will see TWRP starting with its start screen, you can now let go and enter TWRP.
16 - FORMAT data, then WIPE data AND Cache. DO NOT LET IT REBOOT
17 - Flash "Multidisabler-g97x_by_Ian.zip" from SD card
18 - Go back to start screen of TWRP, Choose Reboot, Choose Recovery - YOU MUST ALWAYS CHOOSE REBOOT TO RECOVERY and _NOT_ system!
19 - Let the phone reboot into system, it will do some reboots it self, and again it will feel like it takes FOREVER - Just let it do its thing and DO NOT PRESS ANY KEYS!
20 - When your phone is finally done booting, just do the normal setup/signing for real this time.
21 - When you are done and in system/launcher, install "Magisk_Manager_Ian_install.apk" from SD card and verify that you now have Magisk Manager installed.
22 - Start Magisk Manager and say YES to what it says, it will do some stuff and then say "Rebooting in 5 seconds" - LET IT BOOT AND DO NOT TOUCH ANY KEYS this time either..
23 - Now when booted to system, start Magisk Manager and see that you have all green and its installed.
24 - Now you have root.
** Every time you reboot manually, be prepared to hold Power+Bixby+VolUP until you see the Samsung S10x-logo, then release and let it reboot, you will have root.
** Every time you power off the phone, when you power ON again, hold Power+Bixby+VolUP until you see the Samsung S10x-logo, then release and it will boot with root.
** Every time you want to enter TWRP-recovery, do as above but KEEP HOLDING THE KEYS UNTIL TWRP-start screen shows then release. Remember to choose reboot to recovery afterwards and you will boot with root.
** IF you screw up and forget or miss the key combo, just let it boot to system, immediately when system is up - reboot again and do the key combo and all is fine again.
This is me just trying to get an emergency first aid space, nothing more, I'm NOT trying to take any credits or dismiss Gieti94.
Thanks All
Thanks for this, have been away for a few days and that thread got crowded pretty quickly and I had no idea what was happening. Thank you!
Note the download link. Never use another one, like someone that adds a megalink or alike. The link I have is maintained and only a couple of hours ago for example Ian's updated multidisabler zip was updated. And it might be om copied content to another site.
/P
Good work all, I've been using this method since Saturday thanks to a PM from PiCkLeS and it now works as it should have from the start, no more accidentally trashing my phone ? Thanks to Ian for his work on this, it's greatly appreciated
No custom rom??

There is none of yet but I heard there may be 1 around the corner.
The multi disabler doesn't work for G975N, the Korean version
Still didn't bought my s10+ but does this new twrp method means we can flash custom roms and kernels when they will start rolling?
You have to press on the 3 buttons on any reboot of the phone even if magisk is installed?
Ok, so i cannot now do anything with my device. Only galaxy s10e screen with yellow triangle. Flashed TWRP then i got into TWRP. Tried to reboot to recovery but it only did reboot to TWRP. Now i cannot get into download mode! Once i keep power, vol down and bixby button, it does nothing. After screen "galaxy s10e" screen the screen goes blank. What to do?

Connect usb, press power and volume down until phone reboots and then directly press bixby and volume down to enter download mode. Open odin and flash BL/AP/CP and CSC
