OJC Rootable? If so, which Method?

Hi guys, I used to have another S6, but cracked the screen and sold it. I have finally recieved an insurance replacement unit. But it seems to be on the newest firmware G920T OJC 5.1.1 I just thought I should check before tinkering if this is rootable, and which methods work. I don't really mind tripping knox, and losing pay since I never use it and it was only a $175 deductible replacement unit (IKR ) So I was looking to just ODIN flash unikernel and twrp the classic way. Should I go that route?

Theres a new CF Auto Root for 5.1.1 on G920T but i'd go for UniKernel because its better than stock kernel.

Thanks! I just flash the unikernel via Odin and that roots it right?

Yup, but remember, always do a backup. If anything does go wrong, I would suggest downloading Stock ROM and root through CF Auto Root.

Not able to root or install TWRP on Galaxy S6 5.1.1 (SM-G920I) at all.

Hi everyone,
Trying to root my Galaxy s6 SM-G920I India version but no luck. Had to restore stock firmware thrice today. Every time I used ODIN 3.10.6 with Unibase or Unikernal it would say kernel is not SEAndroid enforcing and stick to a bootloop. If I use the CF auto root method it says Recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing and again bootloop.
Trying the alternative method of installing TWRP also does not work and I get the same recovery enforcing message and bootloop. Please help. R/L is off.

I had the same problem with Indian firmware. The latest one.
I quit trying to get root.

I have the issue too guys. The newest UAE firmware(CSC XSG) is not letting the TWRP stick after flashing with Odin. I've asked for help over in the Help & Troubleshooting section. Hopefully we can figure this out.

I read your blog. The thing is that I can't root the India firmware. Is the firm I'm using and I don't want to change it cause it's working really well.
But seems that is unable to root. And I want to erase some bloatware to make it lighter
Thanks anyway for your help

When you rooted your S6 G920F that time was your phone having 5.1.1 android and DOL5 bootloader.

I tried this method on this website but no luck.????

There is a thread on xda about how to root DOL5 formware by an INDIAN USER USING G925I.
Not all had success with it. I would suggest sticking with DOK9 firmware and wait for a few days as android 6.0.1 has started rolling already in Korea for s6(both variants)
The changes between DOK9 and DOL5 is not huge and not worth an upgrade

I have rooted my s6 today only with 5.1.1 Android and DOL5 bootloader. I flashed twrp
down below is link. You will face a little bit of problem while going in recovery but dont worry you will be able to enter after some tries. When u enter there flash super su 2.66 and u have rooted your s6.

TWRP on the s6 without odin

I already rooted my s6 using a modified kernel and 8 want to install TWRP but the problem is the last time I flashed TWRP my phone got stuck in a bootloader. I have the s6 SM-G920F xxu3coi9 can you tell me which version of TWRP is right for me?

I did but there are about 10 different versions to choose from for the s6 and they don't all work. I really don't want to end up flashing it. I still haven't made a back up of my phone so I need to solve this quickly

They only work if you are rooted. If you are not, you'll have to root your device first.

I am rooted with a kernel mod. But anyway I figured it out myself

Actually i installed with the root method for android 6 that was in this fourom and that what saved my device from bootloop after flashing with flashify if you want you can do it just dont install the kernal via twrp install the spacex kernal before hand because the kernal in the guide has missing fetures
