The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Value Edition can unchain the internal system with root access running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating systems by using a pre-rooted firmware.

Tasker is one application available for rooted users that is well worth a download if you are looking for apps to try. Tasker is an app that needs installing to explain. It can truly transform your device to anything you want. You will find that many of the features Tasker can accommodate you with are available for non-rooted users too. However, it does require full system access to get the most out of the app and make use of all features.

In conclusion, that’s all you need to root the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Value Edition device running on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. We recommend searching for another how-to guide if your device ever gets updated to the official Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. Furthermore, you need to update your firmware manually and not over the air. When you see a OTA update in the future, it can brick your device if you install it. You want to head to the Sam Mobile website and flash that firmware manually with Odin and then root it again with a new rooting guide.
