Samsung launched the Galaxy Grand series years ago to especially for the emerging markets where people prefer smartphones with a big screen, decent hardware specs but at an affordable price. Many years have gone by and the Grand line is still here with more choices to attract more customers. The SamsungĀ Galaxy Grand Prime is a mid-range phone that was released back in September 2014 with Android 4.4.4 KitKat out of the box.
The phone did not witness any major OS upgrade since itās release, but Samsung seems to have kept its promise of upgrading the phoneās software to Android Lollipop. If you own theĀ Galaxy Grand Prime with model number SM-G530H and have been waiting for the sweetest take on Android, that is Lollipop, you finally have a reason to rejoice.
TheĀ Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update for the Grand Prime (SM-G530H) is finally out and available for download. We probably donāt need to tell you that Lollipop is a very big update that brings a completely new user interface with a lot of tweaks and changes. Having updated your Grand Prime to the latest software, you would enjoy faster performance and better battery life.

Install Lollipop Firmware on Grand Prime
- Download the firmware and extract the Zip to get the firmware file with .tar.md5 extension.
- Turn off your Galaxy Grand Prime and boot it into the Download Mode by pressing the Volume Down+Home+Power buttonsĀ simultaneously for 2-3 seconds. When you see the warning screen with a yellow exclamation mark, press the Volume Up key to enter the Download Mode.
- Now launch the Odin tool as administrator and then connect your phone to the PC using the USB cable provided with your device.
- When Odin detects your phone, the ID:COM port on Odin will turn blue and you will see āAdded!ā text in Odinās message box.
- Now click the AP button and add the firmware file (G530HXXU2BOH5_G530HSER2BOH5_SER.tar.md5) to it.
- Click the Options tab on Odin and check Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time. These options and enabled in Odin by default, so all you need to do it is to make sure that they are checked.
- You are now all set to go. Just click the Start button on Odin to trigger the firmware installation. It might take a few minutes before the installation completes, so wait patiently.
- When the firmware installation completes, youāll see PASS! message on Odin. Itās the green signal that indicates a successful installation. In case you get Fail! message, make sure you have gone through the preparations carefully. You can also try rebooting your PC and phone and a different USB cable and port. You can also refer to our exhaustive guide on firmware installation using Odin.
- Anyway, your Galaxy Grand Prime will reboot automatically and when it boots up, youāll be greeted by Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.
Done! In case you face issues like buggy performance, error with network connectivity, device overheat or battery drain, you should try a data/factory reset via stock recovery. If you donāt know how to do it, head over to our detailed tutorial on the procedure.

Hey there,
my baseband is G530HXCU1AOE2 , so i downloaded the firmaware (G530HXXU2BPF3_G530HOJV2BPF2_KSA.zip) but when i tried to flash it, i got a fail message and the phone showed the red colored error line āSECURE CHECK FAIL : aboot.ā
the device is bought from Egypt, but i am trying to download the (KSA) firmware, i donāt think it matters but i though i should mention it anyways..
please help? thanks a million for the great guide.
Well, it should have installed fine. anyway, we also have the Lollipop firmware for Egypt. Try that too.
Umm . If we are going to find a firmware, is it required to have a same middle in the baseband version. Such as XCU,XXU etc.
yeah, i wonder if thatās the case,too
tried the Egypt one, same error..weird..
i get it that this error occurs when i use the wrong firmware, and the firmware does say āXXUā when my baseband is really āXCUā..
i canāt find any lollipop firmware in your list with the baseband āXCUā other than the Panama one, and i am afraid to flash that and then find out that i have some localization issues or language encoding bugs because of it..
thanks again for the continued help and the speedy replies..
Just tried the āIndonesiaā firmware cause it has the baseband (XCU) and it finally flashed successfully, so it does need a matching baseband apparently..
Is compatible with sm-g530m? Thankās.
No. The latest firmware for your phone is Android 4.4.4.
You can still install it, but yours is a greater firmware, so you donāt need to.
Ok . Thank you
Ok . If we are going to fibd a firmware, is it required to have a same middle in the baseband version. Such as XCU,XXU etc.
If i update my phone in different file, would it brick my phone?
No, it will not.
May I root my Grand Prime 5.0.2 using kingroot?

Let Me Know If There Is A Marshmallow Update For SM-G30H Galaxy Grand Prime
Sure! š However, I have doubts about the MM update for this model.
Doubts? about what bro? say clearly
Doubts that this model will get the Marshmallow update.
Hi, I am from the Philippines and I wanted to convert my phone from Kitkat to lollipop but I am scared. I just want to know what firmware should I use ? My baseband is G530HXCU1AOD1. Is there a latest version of firmware already available aside from the firmware mentioned above? What firmware is compatible with my baseband? pls help. Thanks.
Is your phone locked to some network operator?
how to check if my phone is locked ? Where should I go?
If you can use any SIM card on your phone, itās not locked.
Are you saying that whenever I change my sim card in different types of carrier, then when I open there is no password needed? Then my phone is NOT locked
Yes. In other words, if you can use any SIM card in your phone, itās unlocked or unbranded, or if you have purchased your device from a store and not from some network provider, itās SIM unlocked.
So that means that I can use another countries firmware and use it in the odin3 3.9
Is this firmware reliable to my device? My baseband is G530HXCU1AOE2
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1a401df731035b0e679bb91809db28817637bf99b36e150326ab36f5367c7a02.png
Yes.
Is there anything in Odin that I should be careful?
Well, one should always be careful while doing such things. As for Kies, keep it closed while you use Odin. Read the following tutorial in detail: https://www.droidviews.com/install-stock-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices-using-odin/
Ok. Now thanks to you. I already upgrade my device into 5.0.2 lollipop, but I have problem and question. Why does my phone is not compatible in some apps such as S Health if I already have higher firmware
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/08098e17bc534f42cc5ed8d94f2731178d8603097e5420763354600f87f61f45.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/545970d3d752f437e5d74edcbb0ecb8e877a736a24e8b4b3321dcfdc6d4061c8.png
And
Is it okay if I root my phone? I am thinking if my device status will become MODIFIED/CUSTOM.
And
May I downgrade and upgrade my device ysing the Odin that I already used?
Ummm. May I install a same version of firmware but from another countries?
Yes.
Is there any changes when I install a 5.0.2 to 5.0.2 that comes from another country?
And is it ok to perform that?
No significant change. Yes, you can proceed with that.
Ok if nothing will change. Proceeding in that kind of matter what version of odin I should use?
Odin 3.10.7
Thank you
Thank you. Ummmmm . Is there any consuming of memory if I install again . Example . I first already download it in my phone and it is 790 mb . Will it consume?
And
I install another firmware again with780 mb, will it add on my memory along with the first one?or the first ons will remove to my phone?
Please answer my question.
And may I still use this odin to downgrade and install sometging on my device?
AND
Am I required to have a rooted device before using odin?
Lollipop update is not officially available for Carrier-locked devices in Philippines, but of your device is not SIM-locked, you can install any firmware.
I tried the vietnam version, but it failed. What should i do?

Hi there. I tried it and it worked! only that after full installation, I could not set-up the phone. I am stucked in the set-up stage where I have to agree to Samsungās agreement. Clicking ānextā takes me back to previous agreement step, over and over again. Please what do I do?

My wife will be so jealous she bought me this phone for my birthday
every time when download reach in 700mb then its cancel whyā¦ i cant resume my download?
hi, my phone cant be detected by Odinā¦ why? i tried both versions on your tutorial and it didnt detect at all.
Most likely because u dont have any, or the correct drivers. Best way to get the right drivers is downloading Kies 3 first.
i already downloaded Kies 3 and it is able to detect my phone. Whatās next?
Close Kies, put device in download mode, open ODIN, connect device
ohh! it says its addedā¦.now, my Baseband version is HXCUā¦.which firmware should i download?
this is how it looks like when i connect my phone to my pc with Kies 3

bagai mana caranya rekesh
From what Iāve read, the SM-G530AZ and the SM-G530H are almost identical when it comes to firmware. Has anyone attempted this on the AZ?
I am not sure, but I wonāt recommend installing a different firmware other that the one meant for your model. If you still want to try, do it.

Yes.
Hey can I update SM-G530H kitkat

Iām currently running 4.4.4 and itās rooted. Should I unroot it to install this firmware(5.0.2)?
No.
I have already installed it, but the battery life seems worse than KK, isnāt it?
Can I Downgrade My Android Version Back To 4.4.4 Nd Which Firmware Iāll Have To Download? By Country Or Same As Russia?
I downloaded version 5.0 of Russia, to return to version 4.4 should I download version of Russia?
My device is currently rooted with a custom recovery (philz cwm). Will i have to re-root my phone after installing this firmware? And if so, do u know where i can find an odin flashable file to root once the firmware is installed? Or would it be the same file that i originally used to root the phone?
Yes, you can root it again. We have already been working on a tutorial and it will be live within a few hours.
Here is the rooting tutorial: https://www.droidviews.com/root-galaxy-grand-prime-sm-g530h-and-install-twrp-recovery/
Can we come back to KitKat version after installing lollipop
Yes.
Hereās KitKat firmware: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/48161/G530HXXU2AOF1_G530HODD2AOF1_INS
Absolutely NOT, you canāt downgrade to KK from Lollipop, the update also updates the bootloader and if you try to flash a KK image with Odin it will give you an error.
HOW TO PROCEED PLEASE HELP ME
IF ROOTING IS FAILED WHAT SHOULD I DO
Follow the above procedure.
