Hi I'm new have pity on me,
I have a phone that is new and doesn't appear on the list of devices on this forum. Where might I post so that I can contribute to the effort to gain root? I would be willing to test anything that anyone writes for this device or alternatively if someone can give me some help getting started I would be happy to try writing my own.
My phone is a SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND PRIME SM-G530W. [Contact me for link if you can't find one as I can't post links yet]
Android: 5.1.1
This is not supported by any of the models listed on CF-Auto-Root @ [Contact me for link] nor apparently anywhere else on the internet. This is a different model and should not be confused with the SM-G530H or SM-G5306W or anything else.
I have the original firmware acquired from [Contact me for link] and can restore as necessary. I don't care about warranty, I've probably already voided it. As I am a beginner if there is some kind of safety that I might trip and completely wreck my phone please tell me .
I am happy to provide any and all additional info.
Thanks

Hi All,
I'm Jack Droid and I'm a new member.
I have a Samsung Smartphone model S7390.
Surfing into the internet, I understood that the android development for this device is not so interesting.
Maybe because that device is not so appreciated but anyway, I have this model!
Moreover, I did the root and I found an CWM recovery that it's ok for it but what I have never found, is a custom rom.
My question is : do you know if exist a device that could be very similar to Trend Lite S7390 so that I can use a rom for that and try to flash into my device ?
Many thansk for your attention and waiting for your kind reply.
All the best
Max
You are right there isn't much development on this device. You may wish to pose a question in Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and one of the experts will respond if there is a Rom.
I will also provide advice from my colleague @demkantor. It is very rare that you can flash a ROM meant for one device to another, for the most part you can never do this and attempting can lead to a brick.

Hi Perseus71,
many many thanks for your kind reply!
Considering the situation of development on my device,I'm already lucky to have found a CF Root and a CWM recovery that working well !
Anyway, I would like to try a custom rom because I like to try new solution and find better perfomance as possible!
Moreover, I found inf into the web but I didn't find a device that was the same as mine,
The only quite similar is S5820 that has good development but it is dual core cpu if I remember well...
You are better helped by specific experts if you post the question on the forum I linked.
Hey guys, I recently bought a Verison Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) and im not any sort of expert at rooting. I rooted my last device with Geo's Towelroot but my device isnt supported now. If anyone could walk me through the steps of getting this S5 rooted ill be more than happy to pay you a small fee for the help. I would really like to get this thing rooted today so I can get rid of all of this bloatware. Ill pay through Paypal or however you would prefer within reason. Ill need someone to pretty much walk me through this step by step using skype or some other way of communicating. Phone call would work aswell. Id greatly appreciate some help with this. I will be monotoring this thread until I get someone to help. Thanks for your time mates
Hi,
I suggest you read as much of this thread on the subject as you can. Specifically the opening post perhaps and the last several pages to read the latest discussion on this,
> Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 5 > Verizon Galaxy S 5 General > Status on Root/Custom Recovery/Bootloader
You can join that discussion as well.
Any more questions on this device can go in your devices Q&A section, here...
> Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 5 > Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
There's many other threads in that section asking about root methods, you should have a look.
And please, don't offer money for help on XDA. That's not what this site is about. It won't get you quicker, better or easier help.... It will likely just get your post flamed. ?
Good luck!

Hey, thanks man. My offer still stands though. Thumbed through that thread and as of right now im not sure it can be rooted or what and i hate searching and searching through forums to find stuff, so if anyone has a 100% sure way of rooting my device and can walk me through it, there is a reward^^
You can ask in the section I linked last.
And you can offer a reward, but that's not what XDA is about, and some may pass you by based on the very notion. Just some friendly advise.
Thank you, thread closed.
Hi guys. I just got my Samsung Galaxy Tab E (SM-T560) and I am wondering how many other members here have this device or tried this device? So far so good and I really love this device. I hope there can be Devs here to customize this device or find a way to make a Lollipop ROM. So far I've already read "How to root any Android devices" topics but for some reason the methods or suggestions for rooting this device including the latest version of KingRoot has failed. I hope there is someone else here that has this device that has already successfully rooted it and can share their methods. There are so many talented Devs here so please I hope one day you guys can make a Custom ROM for this device. Thanks.
Hi!
Devs usually need to own a device to work on it and create any development. So only time will help there.
There is no dedicated forum at this time for your device, so if you have any questions or issues, you can ask for help here...

I haven't rooted a device in years.. I'm not too familiar with the lingo about these things either. I know my phone is a galaxy s5 with 4.4.4 its at g900a and the last digits of the baseband version is OA2. I have unlimited data and wish to be able to root to unlock wifi features. My phone has an update available and I understand that if I let it take the update, i may not be able to get into it later.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated
thanks

Hi all folks. Its been now almost one week(I've lost count of the opened tabs in my browser ) since I've started looking for a unlocking solution on my GT I9195(LTE version). Its locked on EE and according to some sources there is really no free method to unlock this particular device on this particular carrier. BUT, through my research I've found that I should mess up with PERSO SHA256 menu, which is not available on my device. So to make it available, according gurnted, I should flash MDL ROM and Baseband of my device, but I really have no clue what MDL stands for in the first place, let alone finding from where I do get these firmwares.
So, I would really like if someone could help me get directions and clues about these firmwares for my device...
Thanks XDA for making possible such a great place on the Internet.
Best regards.
