I have been a big fan of the Grand Prime because of how customizable it is, its durability, size, and the fact that is still does everything you need from a smartphone. I started with the MetroPCS versions, and was very happy with being able to put LineageOS on it, etc.
I recently bought Sprint versions of the Grand Prime (SM-G530P/gprimeltespr) to take advantage of Tello's low priced plans. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP using the official gprimeltespr version from the official TWRP site and it installed without issue. However, whenever attempting to actually go into recovery mode, it simply fails and puts me back onto the "battery charging" screen. I have not been able to get past it at all. I tried both of the available versions from TWRP's site.
Edit: Removing some of my additional comments because they're unnecessary now that I have found a solution to get LineageOS 15.1 installed (see 2nd post below).
I found a comibnation of TWRP, kernel, and ROM files that successfully allow you to install LineageOS 15.1 onto the Sprint-branded Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530P/gprimeltespr.
Steps:
Download this Kernel zip onto the device: oc_hotplug-bootimage-lineage-15.1-j1-20180815-gprimeltespr
Download this ROM zip onto the device: lineage-15.1-j37-20190101-NIGHTLY-gprimeltespr
On your PC, download this Recovery tar and flash it to the device using the AP slot in Odin: TWRP-3.1.1-lineage-14.1_j5_20180101_gprimeltespr.
On the device, open Recovery, backup your current ROM, then do a full wipe.
Install the Kernel zip you downloaded in step 1.
If you attempt to install LineageOS15.1 before you install the Kernel, it will complain about you not having the right phone model.
Restart your device and get right back into TWRP.
Install the ROM zip from step 2.

Hello!
This is my first post. I've searched for hours. Visited over 200 sites and forums tried multiple things installed all available android tools you can find online and i am seriously stuck.
Setup before problem : One Plus X - Cm13 - Version 2016 - Oct - 10. This is updated from the cyanogen website and its treated as the stable version.
Downloaded the latest version which is the 15th and got stuck at bootloop. After some searching i discovered that i had to updated my bootloader as it was the same since November 2015. In the website that i got the new version i was also given the new TWRP version 3.0.2 . So i went into my recovery flashed the new bootloader , then the TWRP , then the new ROM. Mobile boots up shows completly empty fresh install CM 13 without gapps or any of my previously installed programs. Everything is still in the storage. All installation folders from the various programms i had.
My recovery mode refuses to Boot. It just stays on the one plus logo. Tried TWRP manager from the OS but the old version 2.8.7.0 refuses to be unistalled. Adb command lines : I've been trying on windows 10 , 8 , 7 with the appropriate drivers and the only thing that i can make the phone do is go to either FASTBOOT or normal boot. Flashed the TWRP multiple times and no changes what so ever. I can make the mobile show up with ADB device, Fastboot device it shows success and when i try to boot into recovery it just gets stuck. I also got the MTP package from Windows. Basically i bricked my phone within a glass. OS works but Recovery not. Fastboot is supposignly working but i see no changes.
Thank you in advance!
Install original stock recovery then 2.2.3. If you want to use ashwins cm13,cm14 from here on out and a couple other ROMs required updated bootloader. You achieve this by flashing 3.1.3 Oxygen OS. After you updated your bootloader only twrp you can use is blusparks latest v41 or Nichets twrp. On a side note 2.8.7 twrp is old 3.0.2 is latest.

Thank you i managed yesterday from a program to flash twrp as kernel and was rebooted into a working twrp and fixed everything from there.
So I have rooted my Android Galaxy A8 (SM-A530F) Android version 9. To do this I used TWRP to install RMM_Bypass_v3_corsicanu.zip, no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip-6.0 and Magisk-v19.3.zip. Everything works fine, but I cannot encrypt the device! I have also tried the fast encryption option with no luck.
I tried a couple of suggestions from the following forum post https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-how-to-root-device-encryption-t3742493?nocache=1 namely where it says:
- Flash the stock book.img back in Odin and apply no-verity-opt-encrypt in TWRP. Use 7-Zip to create a tar only containing the stock BOOT.IMG and flash it in Odin using the AP slot.
- Flash back a TWRP backup taken of the boot partition before installing a root ROM, but after flashing no-verity-opt-encrypt.
After following the two options listed above the phone just un-roots!
I have also tried to shuffle the order in which the three zip files(mentioned earlier) are installed via TWRP with no success.
Does anyone know of any other solutions to having both encryption with root? Are there other better ways to root the phone that might enable encryption?
Grateful for any help, thanks.
Hi,
I know I must be doing something dumb, but I am unable to install any rom on my MI A3. I unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP. I tried installing the havoc os rom on my phone and it wouldn't boot after that (kept going straight into fastboot). So I went back to TWRP and wiped my internal storage and tried installing it again but the same problem kept happening. Now I cannot install any rom ( I have tried Lineage OS and crDroid). I performed the following steps to install a rom:
1. Copy the zip file to internal storage from my laptop
2. Clicked on install
3. Chose the file I just transferred
4. Did the swipe to confirm flash thing
5. It does the flash process without any errors, but then says do you really want to reboot, there is no OS installed.
Even if I try to reboot, it goes straight to fastboot. Checking my internal storage through TWRP, I can see that my system folder is empty.
EDIT: I realised that I need to flash it twice because of the A/B partition thing. I tried doing that too. Now, TWRP no longer says that there is no OS installed and I can see that there are some files in system/. However, I still cannot boot into the OS. It goes straight to fastboot.
EDIT AGAIN: I am able to boot after flashing the stock fastboot rom. So at least I can use my phone for now. However, I would still like to use Havoc OS. Any help is appreciated.
I tried a couple more ROMs. Pixel experience also gets stuck at fastboot and Lineage OS gets stuck in a boot loop

My problem is that I can't install havoc os. I tried all the methods....
Same for me, first time I installed Pixel Experience like you did and worked well, then I tried again and I can't install no more custom ROMs, always getting error 1 in recovery, or not installing TWRP at all. I was able to boot phone again by fastbooting Stock Android 10 v11.0.11.0 April.
But I really enjoyed PE and I wanted to install it.
Hi everybody, i am a newbie and i am trying to install a more recent OS on my J3 that has been installed with Android 5.1 by factory.
The first thing i tried is to install twrp on it and i did it with Odin but every release i try, does'nt install except for a old release (3.0.2) that i am able to install but receiving an error (RECOVERING IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING).
With this twrp release i am able to enter and operate so i have tried to Clean the device (according many internet manuals i found on internet) but when i go to install new zip file i receive an error and the device becomes unusable (i cannot go in to recovery nor start the normal operations, the only thing i can do is to enter in download mode).
So i have to reprogram it with the original firmware that i downloaded from Samfirm and i made another try (i have made many,many tries with no success)
.
I am still not able to install latest lineage without bootloop see here:
see older xda thread
so this weekend I thought well give it a last try before selling my unlocked H850 on ebay. I want to flash it back on stock rom and do the whole process again - maybe flashing this time a different custom rom(15.1 unofficial).
The problem is it seems stock rom is no longer available.
See here
LG-H85010E-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip -> download speed is very slow and I wasn't able to finish download successfully (always connection errors )
H85010e_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0817.kdz -> get no access to this file (has LG stopped service?)
can be closed solution was first flashing Android 8 stock rom with uppercut (H85030f_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1122.kdz) than flashing custom rom based on Android 9 (lineage-16.0-20200811-X86CPU-h850 - thank you to the author) and than I was able to flash official lineage 17.1 than bootloop was suddenly fixed. Each time after flashing I just did normal wipe (confirming with yes).
official tutorial completly sucks:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/h850/install
-> sideload is not necessary and when you come from older Android Version you have to flash Lineage 16 before (no evidence and no image in download section).
