The following guide teaches you how to install TWRP Recovery on the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H. Use this guide to install the custom recovery, which then lets you get root access with the SuperSU. You must access this custom recovery to install the SuperSU file since the stock recovery doesn’t let you flash zip files.
In addition to gaining the rooting rights, a custom recovery is also what you need to install a custom ROM. The custom ROMs for the Galaxy Grand prime will be limited, but you should still find a few available worth checking out.
The Files You Need
- Download the TWRP custom recovery for your Grand Prime from this page.
- Download the Odin app from this page so you can flash the custom recovery.
- Download the Samsung USB Drivers for mobile phones from the official Samsung website.
- You must download Odin to a Windows PC only. You can install it on a notebook running Windows and pretty much anything that’s considered a PC. However, you won’t be able to get it working on Windows RT.
