Greetings! I just got the new Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920I) and I'd like to root it. In the past I've used Odin and I know people have rooted SGS6 via Odin but since I only have access to Linux, now that's not an option. What method would you recommend: Heimdall (which at the moment doesn't list SGS6 as a tested device) or the manual way described in this thread?

Here's another method of rooting your Galaxy S2 without using ODIN.
(Safer method since you can brick your phone using ODIN. With this method, you cannot brick your phone ever.)
This will root your Galaxy S2 and install busybox.
If all you need is a rooted Galaxy S2 (without ClockworkMod Recovery), you can use this method and safe to do on "any" Galaxy S2 including U.S. versions as you are not flashing a new kernel.
Also since you are not flashing a new kernel, you won't have triangle after you root.
Note: I found that the 1-click method on Droid Razr works on Galaxy S2 so modified a bit for Galaxy S2.
can i use for my i9100g??

I obtained via raffle a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 SM-T530NU . Not exactly a device I would have chosen on my own, but urge to hack intensifying nonetheless. First goal would be to root it. I have found a couple guides, but they require a computer running Windows. My computers all run Linux. Any advice on how to do this via my Linux machines greatly appreciated.
ive found 3 guides for this, but all instruct to use odin. what would be used in place of odin when doing this from linux?
I can't find a rooting tool that supports my device and Android version, is there none or am I just a bad searcher?
Thanks!
There are a lot of posts on how to do this in 5.1.1. Try searching for unikernel or Adam kernel. Flash either and you get root... They do trip knox.
Here's a method that doesn't but I haven't tried it

Im currently using a Verizon SM-G930V (Samsung Galaxy S7), the regular one. Not the Edge.
I need assistance with rooting this device using Odin 3.12.3 on Android version 7.0, Knox 2.7.1, running security patch Feb 1, 2017, WITHOUT bricking the phone. Luckily I was able to recover the device myself by reinstalling it's stock firmware.
I haven't found any useful guides on how to root this specific device so I would really appreciate replies here. Last time I tried this, I got bootlooped, but willing to redo with some help. Give me everything I need to root this, other than Odin and the USB drivers, which I already have. Also, im a noob to this.
Hello friends, I have a matter about updating the Samsung Odin S4 device. I need to update my mobile device. Then I tried several methods but it was unable to update it correctly. I got a tip from one of my friend who studies at that university that she told me that Samsung Odin can update the system. Then I found Samsung Odin version 3.09 from https: //odindownload.com/how-to-use-odin.... But I have no idea about how to upgrade my device with Samsung Odin. Can someone help me to know the correct method to update my device to Android Lollipop edition?
Thank you.
