okay so im a bit lost, do I do the root before or after the upgrade to lollipop 5.0.2?
Of course after upgraded to lollipop. This root only for lollipop. For upgrading to lollipop you do not need rooted it and then you can root it.

Did you upgrade your Grand Prime to Android Lollipop 5.0.2? the root tools only for Lollipop
I suggested not to download lollipop 5.0.2 because this will stop ur home key button working and also remove the palm feature in camera mode
I confirmed everything working fine. I have tested to my samsung galaxy grand prime SM-G530H update to android lollipop 5.0.2 using Country India Firmware ( my device Indonesia Country ). Palm feature in Camera mode and Home Key, I confirmed is working fine. I have tested it. Let me know if someone get problem after upgrade their galaxy prime?
Hi Romesh let me know your prime country and what firmware that you use to upgrade your device to lollipop 5.0.2. As I know There is no issue about palm feature and the home key.
wht country firmwre should i use if my coutry malaysia?
You can use other country but the model must match with SM-G530H. I am using SM-G530H indonesia, but I upgrade to Android 5.0.2 using SM-G530H firmware for India.
This method works on SM-G531H ANDROID 5.1.1 BAND BASE G531HXXU0AOI1??
THANK`S
It does not match with your firmware. Don’t try this It will brick your phone.
Those this method works on other brands like SONY Xperia? I have tried rooting my Samsung Galaxy S4 with oneclickroot but i want to root my SONY Xperia M4 Aqua. Thus this method works on this device?
I never tested it on Sony device. I think this methode does not work on sony. Samsung and sony have different firmware and hardware.

I think you got bootloop. Try to hard reset your device. It happened to me after root my samsung.

Thnks for ur response, as u said i’ve done it and twrp also installed but as u shown above I din’t get install button in mine recovery mode. what should i do? it says it failed to verify the signature somethng
This Root is only for android lollipop 5.0.2. You can not use it for kitkat.
Ya I’ve updated to lollipop 5.0.2 Indian firmware for mine SM-G530H XXU baseband
I have experience too like this. Try to download the TWRP file. If the file in ZIP, you must unzip it to get TAR file.
Thanks for your response again, and the thing is gone well for me there I got all fine and after all work finished I rebooted the device and I got one app called SuperSu. Do I need to do something inside the SuperSu app?
Thanks in advance
If you see supersu app it’s means your device is rooted. You don’t need to do anything with SuperSU. If you install an apps that need rooted, SuperSU will warn you to grant or not the app to access root. Now You can remove default app that you don’t like. You can use Link2SD app to remove default apps. I am sure not all of default app we used 🙂
You are so kind to me. Thanks for that now I have one issue but I don’t knw whether that is problem or not that is after rooting the device What I face is whenever I uninstall app or move apps to sdcard my device used to reboot. What does is mean?
Thanks in advance

Try to download the TWRP file. If the file in ZIP, you must unzip it to get TAR file. then reflashing it to your device. after that perform a factory reset, make sure to backup your data.

Yes, you have succeed root your device, you will see Super SU app on your device.
The file is ok and worked, or you can try download it from other link, check it on xda developer for other links.
I’m still waiting my previous quest answer. Now I’ve another issue that What if I do factory reset after reboot then what happens? Should I do or not coz the app that were installed before root causing me to reboot it automatically after updates or move to sd card but new apps installed after root have no problems.
Thanks in advance.
I only suggest to do factory reset if you get boot loop. Sometimes rooting will cause a problem to apps. After rooted my device I do factory reset, it will clear all caches for old installed apps.
Will this wprk for smg530h basebamd xcu
You can try it with your own risk. I think is OK
Thank you very much!!! It worked for me .Thanks again
Thank’s, 100% work in my galaxy grand prime 5.2
Previously I had Android 4.4.4 and upgraded to 5.0.2 Russian version.Now I want to root it. After installation 5.0.2,
I have successfully installed TWRP…tar file. But, When I tried to ‘update from external storage’ and select SuperSu.zip it starts to install and displays ‘Update failed’ with green font and turn off automatically. Finally the device is not rooted.
What can be the problem?
Does it effect the mobile if I can’t install SuperSu?
You must root the device first before install SuperSU apps. I recommend you use autoroot file to root your device, because in the file included superSU apps. then I recommend you to upgrade your device using India Firmware version for SM-G530H. My Prime SM-G530H is Indonesia country but I use India firmware version to upgrade it to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. I can root and install TWRP with the firmware version.
What is ‘Signature verification failed’ mean?
I think your firmware version is match with the root file version
Hello. I’ve tried installing twrp and it said succeed but i still have the old recovery mode and can;t install supersu. Here is my phone firmware G530HXCS1BQA2 csc G530HOLB1BPG1 baseband G530HXCS1BQA1. This is the lastest update in my country as of now (just released a few days ago) but i want to root it. Do i have to flash another country’s firmware first? If yes, which country do you suggest?
I use India country/region firmware Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, you can try it. But do this first before flash the firmware, when flashing the twrp recoveryOdin Option make sure to ticked F.Reset Time only and disable Auto-Reboot. To Turn power off it by removing the battery and re-insert it. Then enter the TWRP Recovery mode: Press and hold Volume Up key + Home Key, while pressing these keys Press and hold Power key, Release all key when TWRP recovery appears. Some just confirm if auto reboot enable in odin, the recovery mode will be back to stock recovery. try this and let me know
Thank you! I successfully rooted my phone. I did it according to your suggestion. You’re a life saver 🙂
Nice to hear that 🙂
