The following rooting guide teaches you how to root the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H smartphone using SuperSU. Most rooting guides you’ll find for Samsung devices are either using the CF-Auto-Root or SuperSU. While the CF-Auto-Root means flashing the file through Odin, the Super guides mean you must flash the SuperSU using the custom recovery. A stock recovery doesn’t allow us to flash any zip files; thus we cannot install the SuperSU from a normal recovery.
Fortunately, we know that TWRP recovery is already available to go along with this SuperSU file, so users can install a custom recovery and get root access at the same time.
The Files You Need
- Download the Samsung USB Drivers if you haven’t just come from flashing the custom recovery. Those of you who have flashed the TWRP recovery recently, probably have those drivers already.
- Download the SuperSU file you need.
- You need to install TWRP recovery on the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime before starting the rooting guide.
