These are the guidelines to root Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530W smartphones running on the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update. You will be using the CF-Auto-Root tool during the guide made by Chainfire which will install and enable the SuperSU on the Galaxy Grand Prime once the guide is complete.

REQUIREMENTS

• You must have the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime device that comes with the model number SM-G530W to follow this guide. Anyone using a different model number during this guide will probably find that device bricked if you flash the file.
• The rooting exploit in this guide is based off of the LMY47X.G530WVLU1AOFB firmware which is part of the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update for some regions. You do not need to be running that firmware on your Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime before you start the guide. Some Samsung devices do not boot older images so Chainfire has the firmware ID there as an indicator.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Download the Samsung USB Drivers for the Windows computer and your Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime device and then get them running before you start the guide. Connecting your device without the USB Drivers could result in the Odin flashing tool not detecting your device.
• Unlock the Developer Options menu if you need it unlocked by tapping on the Settings > About Device > Build number a minimum of seven times and it will soon say you are using the device as a developer.
• Enter the Developer Options menu now by tapping on the Settings > Developer Options and then enable the options for the USB Debugging Mode.
