Can I root my Samsung Galaxy S6 G920F with Android 5.1.1? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

How to Root the S6?

Morning Guys
I'm wanting to root and install a custom recovery to enable flashing custom roms etc, on my UK Galaxy S6 running stock (G920FXXU2COH2) French Firmware. I know that I will trip knox and not be able to use Samsung pay when its available but I'm not so bothered about that.
What is the quickest and safest way of doing this now? Thanks for your time in helping

How Do I Root my Galaxy S6 (LMY47X.G920FXXU3COJ1)

I have tried KingoRoot with no success and I do not want to trip my KNOX warranty with CFRoot.
You can't root 5.1.1 FW Without tripping Knox atm yet.

Would you recommend any tools for an easy root/unroot? PingPongRoot doesn't support my model yet.
Is there any one click root method? I tried Root Genius and it also failed.

As mentioned before, there is no root method for 5.1.1 that doesn't trip KNOX.
All Samsung devices that received the 5.1.1 update (Note 4, Note Edge, S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus and Note 5), have got security patches that prevent root.
The only way to root 5.1.1 devices is by using a Custom Kernel which trips KNOX.

Rooting New S6

Hi all.
Just purchased an S6 128GB International Version SG-920I and was wondering if by rooting it would I lose any functionality except Samsung Pay (which is useless in Europe in at this time anyway).
Also can you guys help me with a rooting guide and what's the best recovery menu to go for on the S6?
The phone came with factory 5.1.1 so I guess PingPong root is out of the question is there an alternative to this?
Thanks.
Just rooted my G920i, used Odin and Root Kernels/ Unibase Kernel for Galaxy S6 on Android 5.1.1

I take it that triggers the knox fuse right?
Is there a way for 5.1.1 to root without blown Knox fuse?

Requesting help/information on rooting T-Mobile SM-915T on 6.0.1 N915TUVUS2DPG2

I've tried CF Root, flashing CWM, and TWRP. I even tried downgrading it back to 5.1.1 via ODIN. Everything seems to brick the phone. I was wondering is there a root solution for this at all? Currently, I am exploring root methods that worked for other variants like the sprint model, or factory model. But I would really appreciate a root method that is designed for the SM-915T on 6.0.1 N915TUVUS2DPG2. Thanks.
