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.
