Flashfire for s6 - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

​ Is someone willing to make a thread about what flashable zips of mods or roms people have flashed via flashfire without tripping knox counter?

I'm surprised that there's so little interest in this topic. Seems kinda like the holy grail atm to flash custom ROMs without triggering KNOX. I saw someone in the Flashfire thread mentioning that they'd actually flashed a ROM after removing the lines that flashed a custom kernel, and it worked out well. KNOX still intact.
Then again, someone else said they'd also flashed kernels using Flashfire without triggering. I'd be more wary of that, though.

There's a flashfire thread already.

Specific for s6? Where? I am also surprised there isn't more interest in making our phones free of knox restrictions

There isn't a flashfire thread for every device. There's a general one.

I know that but I think we need people who own an s6 and are brave enough to flash with flashfire to post their results regarding flashing successfully and without tripping knox as well..

On Verizon s6 Scrosler has built two roms that can be flashed with flashfire. I sent him a message, everyone who wants to bring his roms in our phones would be nice to show his interest too.

[Q] Installing Custom ROMs on KNOX-powered Galaxy S3

Hi guys,
I'm new here as a user, but I used xda frequently. I haven't found any info as an answer to my question, so let me ask you:
Is there any way to install a 4.4.2 ROM on Galaxy S3 with KNOX? There are some specifications I want to add to this question:
1. I deleted all KNOX apps using Titanium Backup, so I think on the software side I'm clean.
2. It doesn't matter for me, whether this thing will trip my counter or not, the only thing I need is to install a different ROM.
3. ODIN got stuck in the middle when I tried to install a different ROM so I had to get back. (which on the other side means that I tripped my KNOX counter, I suppose)
4. I used Safestrap w/ a different partition on it, where I installed CM11, but it only showed me black screen.
5. I rooted my phone using saferoot application.
I would be very grateful if you could help me. The problem is that other threads that I saw only deal with avoiding KNOX tripping. In my case, I don't really care about the warranty. I only demand freedom in installing any ROM I want.
Thanks in advance.

Everything you needed was in the link I provided. In the OP (Original Post, or first post) of the thread I linked, the fifth link provided is titled "TW 4.3 Download list."

So I can Odin this on my T-Mobile Note 5, and then can we actually use it to back-up and flash and what not?

You keep posting over here in the Note5 forums, why don't you head over there and wait for root/TWRP/etc? You should probably avoid flashing any of these things on your Edge+, but you do what you want.

No one there has even started a thread
related to a compatible twrp or root for
the G928T phone.
Since the Note 5 and the S6 Edge+ have
almost identical specs and hardware I am
hoping that perhaps twrp and root might
be similar enough to be interchangeable.

Patience is a virtue TWRP might work, but I'm sure there are kernel differences between the 2 and you might have issues if you flash that kernel to get root. Better to wait it out and keep the thread on topic about the Note5.

I would say if your worried about Samsung pay not working, maybe wait until Samsung pay actually comes out and see if some other brave tries this and then tries using Samsung pay to see if it works. No need to get your panties in a bunch before we even know for sure.
I'm not concerned about something I won't use. I have root so I'm happy. Bring on the roms. Don't harass the devs to make a special Samsung Pay root either lol. Not happening.
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
Charlieb620, you have root, but does your fingerprint reader still work? Also, if you could, link the 2 threads you followed for rooting. I know of the TWRP thread, but the root method thread...?

No Knox tripping rooting method found for the S6.

Looks like the heavens question has been answered. It seems someone has found out how to root without tripping knox using a unikernel. I hope someone can get it working for the N5.

Verizon 5.1.1 Root??

Sorry, but I have searched, and can't find a direct answer, is 5.1.1 rooted for Verizon?
Where can I find the guide if it is.
Currently I am rooted on 5.02, have been delaying any OTA since purchase, rooted using Ping Pong
Thanks in advance
Anxiously awaiting this myself...I do know that Verizon locked the bootloader on or before 5.1.1 and as far as I know there is no root...yet.
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
It does not exist. Not even the top rom makers and programers have been able to do it. The 5.1.1 update will also make it so you can't go backwards to 5.0.2. This is the first time since I've owned cell phones that I've seen a company finally beat the cell phone gurus but they finally did it on this one. However if you are not on Verizon or AT&T you can still do it through ODIN.
So if you have a phone pre 5.1.1 that rootable and root it...will you be able to flash 5.1.1?

s4 beat the cell phone gurus... Technically... MDK was unlocked, nothing after that was.
s5 has also never had a bootloader unlock..
Lots of Verizon phones don't have much, root at most....

S5 bootloader has been unlocked.
The video of proof is on YouTube.
It has not been released but I'm sure it will soon. Once that is released it should open things up for the S6.

It will not be released ever. That has been said a few times. It uses(from what I have heard) a Zero Day exploit, meaning it's very damn complicated, and it has a high chance of bricking people's phones. That was never meant to go to the general public. It was aimed at other devs. It's a proof of concept, meaning it CAN be unlocked, just not through that way.

0 day exploits are OS vulnerabilities that the manufacturer themselves aren't aware of. It doesn't necessarily mean that exploit itself has a high chance of bricking the phone.
Not releasing the method could be any number if things. These reasons could range from stolen proprietary source code being used to the exploit's author deciding that he doesn't feel like sharing the method.
I heard that the team that found the method said that they would NOT release it at the moment but that in the future it will be available.

I know that it may not have a high chance of bricking the device, but with the device, I assume it is thanks to shenanigans with Verizon and Knox. I have already discussed legal issues briefly in the s4 bootloader thread... Damn Money Sucking Lawyers. It is what it is. I think it has given some people hope because there IS A WAY... Just maybe not that way.
Maybe hope yet just pay this on google plus not sure if our verizon variant will benefit from this method so correct me if I am wrong but take a look any how.

Tried installing Xposed on my s6. Tried with flash fire and TWRP. And it causes me every time to get a DM-VERITY fail. And also when I do install it. It says latest framework version isn't installed. What do I do?

You're too fast lol. Ask in the respective thread how to handle the dm-verify. I haven't go thru in details but it works on stock kernel with s6 edge. For non edge need to use custom kernel to disable it?
