Hi all. I'm to finally make the switch from my s4 to the s6. Now can i use pingpong to root a verizon s6? I looked at the thread, but it looked like Verizon is not supported, or maybe I'm wrong? Also from reading the thread, is it true pingpong will not trip Knox so I could unroot for warranty issues?
thanks for any info

I'll give you a quick answer but all your questions are answered in the ping pong thread in Verizon S6 General. I have the latest OT applied and ping pong roots it fine, just do download data before get root. The latest Verizon version is rootable. It will not trip knox.
Good luck

Sorry, one question.
I just got my S6.
Not there is an OTA update out there. Should I install the OTA update before rooting. I know if was said to do it, but I didn't know if that will put me past the AOC3 version and then I won't be able to root.
Thanks

Yes always have been since day one. Why would you want to?
All you have to do is flash the firmware via odin
Have you already tried Superuser? I've never unrooted before, but its an option in the settings tab.
I actually figured it out you're right about downloading the firmware i was just asking to be sure cause i was scared to do it since this phone is still new and all and i didnt wanna brick it but thanks guys!
i only unrooted just to install 5.1.1. i feel so stupid for doing it now cause theres no root available

I honestly don't know if I am posting this on the right thread or not. I have a Verizon Galaxy S5 still on the 5.0 BOG5 update because I want to root my phone. Any information on a new root method will be very helpful. Thanks again for helping even if you do not know of a method yet.

I think they mean to say he can't find the firmware for his phone. I personally haven't heard of Cspire so this may be why. The MetroPCS firmware took a while to be found. In any case, find your firmware HERE but I can't be sure it may be there. Good luck.
Stock Firmware

If your model number happens to be a SM-G930R7, I happened to find a working stock firmware to recover the OS back to working order. If you do have said model, I can set the files up somewhere for download and you just do the usual with Odin.

Android version: 7.0

Right okay cool thanks for that. I have bad news for you, because your phone has a locked bootloader it cannot be rooted at this point until an exploit is found. I even had a look over in the At&T s6 forums and there's not much going on. Sorry mate.

That sucks but thanks for the straightforward answer. But there's really 0 options for me at this point? Not even downgrading or flashing? (Just some terms I've picked up, don't exactly know what those mean)

Unfortunately not, downgrading is when going from one version to the previous, due to how samsung setup their bootloader, trying to say go from nougat to Marshmallow is not possible so you will always remain on nougat. Flashing is commonly done via a recovery and a piece of software called odin, every phone has a recovery but most root things need you to have a custom recovery like twrp this can only be achieved via having root, odin is used to flash stock Samsung firmwares. Hope that helps a bit. For the time being my advice to you is to keep looking at the s6 at&t forums from time to time, at some point they may come out with a root exploit that works.
