Rooting SM-G920P with One Click Root?

I've been waiting for Chainfire's auto-root to be able to work on my Sprint S6 (SM-G920P), but I came across this: http://www.oneclickroot.com/root/samsung-sm-g920p-lrx22g-g920pvpu1aocf-5-0-2/
Has anyone used this? Is this reliable stuff?

I'd stay away. I'm pretty weary about having to pay for any service regarding my phone. It looks like a total scam. If it doesn't come from this community I wouldn't trust it.

I don't believe it's actually something you pay for. I could be wrong, but if so, it's not obvious.

Ohhhh, wait. There it is. Yeah, you're right. The "free" app just tells whether or not it CAN root your device. Asinine.

I used the Tmobile root on my Sprint phone and haven't had any issues with it thus far. Just use Odin and you ought to be savy ?

I too rooted my Sprint Galaxy S6 (SM-G920P) with the T mobile CF auto root in Odin. I gained root access and started deleting bloatware. I must have deleted something I shouldnt have or something with the wrong version of the root is making the battery drain really fast. I tried to used the clean up for Unroot option inside the Super User app and the phone hangs. I also downloaded and flashed the correct firmware using Odin for my model from Samoblie.com. Odin said phone was RESET! but according to the Root Checker App I still have Root Access and the SU app is still usable on my phone. Can anyone help me with getting my phone unrooted and back to Stock?

BJ, you might be best to start a new thread for your issue.

From what I saw on QBKing77 video, people who have battery drain problems after rooting their Galaxy S6 should boot into stock recovery, then wipe cache, reboot system, and that should help with your battery drain. Also you may have to wait till Chainfire comes up with a auto root tool with a sprint tar file to unroot your phone, check his google plus page for info or help.

Galaxy s6 on sprint network
Do anyone know how to unlock a galaxy s6 on sprint network, I'm new here so I really don't know what I'm doing.

[Q] Is it worth rooting 907A AT&T version?

So I just got the Note Pro like a week or two ago, I generally always root my devices, but I've seen lots of reports of random reboots. Does removing all of the Knox apps fix that?
So, do you guys think it's worth rooting? I've never had a Samsung device, so I know I'm going to have to read up on Odin and Kies a bit, but are there any easy step-by-step tutorials posted around anywhere?

It was definitely worth it for me just to have X posed installed and be able to use the GravityBox module along with some Note specific mods. Especially useful is the mod to allow any apps to be multi-window pop up apps.
l had to downgrade to an earlier build because Samsung patched the Towelroot exploit earlier this year. That required using Odin which isn't difficult at all to use. Once I downgraded the Towel root app worked perfectly and I was able to install Supersd from Chainfire. There is a debloat script you can run in Terminal Emulator and it will disable all the Knox stuff but also gives you individual options to de bloat other apps in the stock AT&T TW Rom. I've been running for a couple of weeks with no problems whatsoever.
Here's the link to the Odin files l used to downgrade. The Odin application to use is in post # 2

Then get towel root app at towelroot.com and install → run.

Thanks for the info and links... I may break down and just do it, although I've been debating waiting for the Lollipop update.

I can always flash back to stock later, right?

The links he posted are stock, just an earlier build that towelroot works with. You should be able to go into settings and run "check for updates" when lollipop is released from AT&T.

You guys are awesome, thanks for the info. Just rooted, debloating now. Any suggestions on the best Xposed modules to use? Anything else I should install?

Awesome! I'll be giving this a go once I get home. I just picked up my note pro last weekend. Only complaint is not being able to multiwindow every app so this is perfect!

Did you guys install TWRP? If so, did you use Odin?

You're rooted but the bootloader is still locked and there is no way to unlock it at this time. Therefore no TWRP or custom ROMs.

GravityBox gives you the most customization options. You can get Multi Window Manager from the Play store and it works with Xposed to give you multi window for any app. Those are the two I'm using so far bit have had mine for only a few weeks.

The end of the first post has a few good xposed modules to try, http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/rom-original-stock-debloated-stock-t2860069 And I've attached an image of the ones I like.

Hangouts?
After downgrade....does hangouts work for video calling?

help!

Hello, my first time posting of the forums.. I followed all these steps except the last step before I found this thread, and allowed the forced Ota update to screw up my root... now I can't access custom recovery mode to reinstall the old firmware. Tablet works fine, but no root and no chromecast... Not sure if you can use odin in stock recovery mode.. Is there a way to install firmware you gave the link by SD card so I can reroot? Thanks in advance!

No Odin is the only way. You can access recovery by turning the tablet on while holding down vol down and the home button.

I'm such an idiot.. I figured that out right after I made this post.. Everything is good to go.. The only issue I'm having now is that even after debloating I'm still getting the ota update ... Not sure if I need to disable all bloatware.. I kept some of the apps like YouTube enabled but disabled the ATT ones and a few others from what I can remember .. Any suggestions on how to stop the ota update ?

Will this trip Knox and device status?

Quick question about this procedure: if I use oden to downgrade my tablet from NK2 to ND7, will my device status change from original to custom?
The purpose for this is to network unlock my tablet. I sent in my tablet for warranty repair due to the blue screen of death. They replaced the main board and reflashed the os with NK2. I've had my tablet back for 2 weeks but it came back network locked. It had been previously unlocked by a seller prior to purchase/arrival in January. I was using my T-Mobile tablet sim with the tablet which worked great.
I've tried sim network unlock codes from various sources, the code is always the same regardless of the source, with no success. I'm working with 2 theories as to what occurred at the repair center: they didn't reinstall the LTE modem properly or the flash messed up ability to successfully network unlock. If I can get the tablet to network unlock then I'll continue with the root because having the capability to use multiwindow for all apps with xposed is great.

[Q] How do i un root my s6 from the pingpongroot?

So i rooted my s6 thinking that it would be like a jailbreak and i was wrong.. can someone give me a link to a video or some info on how to unroot it. Thanks!

Normally this is something you look at before rooting you device so you know how to if you run into problems

Go into super su app and choose full unroot

I was going to use the SuperSu to do the Full unroot. If I did that, then installed the current Verizon OTA, could I then re-root using pingpong? Or does this OTA disable the ability to root again? I've read so many posts and articles from various sources, some say yes, some say no. The more I dig the more conflicting info I find.
The only reason I rooted in the first place was to swap out the mixer_paths.xml file. I'm curious if the OTA will wipe that moded file out. But that's probably another discussion.
Thanks

I rooted first and a day later took ota. After ota pingpong root just needed to "download data" or whatever then root worked fine.

Really? Bummer, mine isn't taking the update. I've tried several times and it just fails after the download and after the reboot to install. Nothing bad happens after that, it just boots up like normal. Then it harasses me again and again to do the update.

I think what you are talking about is you were rooted and tried to take the Ota and it wouldn't install correct? If that's the case, yeah you have to unroot or Odin the new version then reboot.

Use the verizon upgrade utility that is on your phone when it's plugged in as an installer. Make sure your battery is charged all the way too.

That did the trick! Thanks so much. It worked just like it should have. Afterwards I did have to rerun pingpong, but that took about 2 seconds and I'm back to normal now with the update. Thanks a million!

I did that, as I usually do when I sell my phones.... It bricked it and I could reinstall stock.

Unrooting options
To summarize the unrooting options:
1. Unroot with SuperSu - By some reports this method does not work
2. Odin stock rom - Wipes the device and data, ?trips knox?
3. Use the Verizon Update Utility - Upgrades the devices to latest OTA
I am on 5.02 Stock (AOC3), rooted, Knox not tripped.
I am really not interested in wiping my device or updating to the latest OTA.
What I want to do is *temporarily* unroot to see if I can get Android Pay working again.
Has anyone had any luck with method 1 above? If android pay and your credit cards are activated/verified while unrooted, can you then re-root and still have Android Pay work?
I really miss using Android Pay... but not enough to lose root!!!

If you go into the superuser app and click the enable superuser to turn it off you can activate a card with android pay. You won't lose root this way.
I did that with my bank card and once my card was listed in Android pay I reenabled superuser and everything works fine.
I'm also using root cloaker but I don't know if it's needed.

@dobosininja
Is your android pay still working? I was able to use Android pay for only a short period ~1 day. Now I get the message "This card cannot be used right now" It doesn't matter what card I use or whether SuperSU is enabled. Maybe it is detecting SuperSU itself.
What app / procedure did you use for cloaking? Did it trip your knox?
Thanks!

Mine is still showing my card being attached, but I have not used it lately.
I am using root cloak plus, but I can't guarantee it works.
My knox is not tripped since I rooted with ping pong that didn't trip it.

If I'm correct, the Token needs to refresh from time to time. It may be that that process is detecting the root.
I'd try the Root Cloak he mentioned.

Root D850 Marshmallow?

Hai I flashed Turbo ROM and for some reason I don't have root... I have SuperSU but it says there's no su binary installed... Also I can't get into TWRP, because it hangs on the TWRP logo screen and doesn't get passed that. How can I root my device so I can fix my recovery, or the other way around? Thanks

go to play store and download supersu app. restart the phone. this will get you root. then install twrp app from google and reinstall it through app. i think this will help you get into recoery.

KingRoot gives you temporary root on stock D850 Marshmallow.
When you reboot/restart, you lose root and it takes about 3 minutes or so, using the KingRoot android app, to regain root.
The apps requiring root that I've tried have all worked without issue.
Whether you want KingRoot installed on your phone is another issue.
I haven't come across a better solution for getting root on stock D850 Marshmallow yet.

From the about section of the KingRoot app on my LGG3:
"KingRoot V4.9.2 143

If KingRoot does work you could look at this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro app to remove KingRoot and install SuperSU. I have not used the app I just saw someone on Reddit report that it worked for them.

Actually u can use kingroot to root ur marshmallow phone. although root access is gone if u uninstall the kingroot app. Basically u get root access through kingroot. all other apps gain access through it.

Pingpong root no longer working?

I recently had to odin back to stock OE2 on my device and am trying to re-acquire root access however Pingpong root keeps telling me my device is unsupported when I attempt to Download Data as per the instructions. I rooted originally with Pingpong many months ago when my device was brand new so dont understand why this is failing. I am rooted now via Kinguser but dont like it as I would prefer to have SuperSU installed so that I can use flashfire. Anyone have any ideas? Its almost like Pingpong is not downloading any updated data, I have verified that my build number is right so totally stumped. Anyone have any ideas on how to get Pingpong to work again or another means of getting SuperSU installed and the binary to update?
Additional note: I never took any OTA updates, was on OE2 ever since unboxing the phone nearly a year ago.
Attached is a screenshot of my build version.

Which version of ping pong root are you trying? Not sure if that matters though.

Tried both versions listed, beta5.1 and beta6. Both say device not yet supported. I am thinking that the pingpong app is just no longer downloading the data required.

i wonder if i make a flashfire back up of certain partitions, if you can flash my backup and get the result your wanting. Im thinking just system partition. Since its a verizon gs6, you think it would work? Obviously i wont do the efs partitions.

Attached is a screenshot of my build version.

I am having the exact same problem. But what is so bad about Kinguser? I haven't used that but is that the only other way to get root on OE2 if pingpong doesn't work?

Nothing really I guess, other than having to re-run the root process every time I reboot my device. Not to mention I cant get Flashfire to run with it so that I can switch to one of the custom roms that are available. Really have major buyers remorse with this bloody phone.

I've used it successfully many times on the s5 verizon and I has worked 100% of the time

Wow thanks for this tip! Worked like a charm for me, Just had to make sure I was on an older version of Kingroot first then Super Sume worked its magic.
