I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, I have been following various tutorials trying to unlock the bootloader. My device can be found with adb devices, but not fastboot devices, and all fastboot commands are .

The drivers I've got loaded recognize it in 3 ways,
1. Android Device>Samsung Android ADB Interface,
2. Modems>Samsung Mobile USB Modem,
3. Portable Devices>Galaxy Grand Prime.

When my phone is plugged in as Fastboot mode, it is recognized as Modems>Samsung Mobile USB Modem #3.

I have android sdk, it's working, but when I follow the tutorial found here Between steps 12 and 13, I get a dialoge box saying
The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems.

I've got the google drivers located at C:\Users\"UserName"\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver Which is where I'm telling device manager to find it.

I might need a different driver? or something.

Also, I know you can root the sm-g530h using odin, would this sort of thing work wit this one (sm-530t) without modifying the bootloader?

Also, I've rooted this phone before using kingo root, and it worked, so long as I didn't power down fully, else it would go into a bootloop. just, fyi

  • That's the one I'm using, I've tried pointing it away to this one and towards the google ones, no change, and I've tried forcing these ones, but they just make it show as a modem... – Spencer Cornwall Oct 01 '16 at 18:41
  • okay ah I know than what..when yu first plugged it in what setting did you choose on the device? the wrong setting and you get what you expereinced..the settings are media transfer, etc – Fred Grott Oct 01 '16 at 18:48
  • and, you need to choose one? – Spencer Cornwall Oct 01 '16 at 19:37
  • yes, as there about four choices..otherwise the USB driver does not know which mode you meant..whether you meant media transfer, modem, etc. – Fred Grott Oct 01 '16 at 19:55
  • The five options it gives me are 1. get your stuff on your device (aka Phone companion) 2. Import photos and videos 3. sync digital media files to this device 4. Open device to view files 5. take no action – Spencer Cornwall Oct 01 '16 at 20:05
  • its probably option 4 and one more thing..you have a app called developer settings in that app you need to check the box labeled USB debugging – Fred Grott Oct 01 '16 at 20:21
