revert GS6 with new fw to OC2/3 so I can root? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6

HI all,
Late to the GS6 party, so I'm wondering if I buy a GS6 that has the new FW on it can I odin it back to OC2/3 so I can pingpong root it?
Thanks for any input!

I think this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/help/s6-return-aoc3-t3165720 answers my question. I was going to delete this post but I didn't see a delete button, so this one can probably be marked SOLVED.

Looking to root new S6

Hi all. I'm to finally make the switch from my s4 to the s6. Now can i use pingpong to root a verizon s6? I looked at the thread, but it looked like Verizon is not supported, or maybe I'm wrong? Also from reading the thread, is it true pingpong will not trip Knox so I could unroot for warranty issues?
thanks for any info

I'll give you a quick answer but all your questions are answered in the ping pong thread in Verizon S6 General. I have the latest OT applied and ping pong roots it fine, just do download data before get root. The latest Verizon version is rootable. It will not trip knox.
Good luck

Sorry, one question.
I just got my S6.
Not there is an OTA update out there. Should I install the OTA update before rooting. I know if was said to do it, but I didn't know if that will put me past the AOC3 version and then I won't be able to root.
Thanks

Anyone else seeing this update on their Verizon S6? I'm still not sure what it is for. Phone says I still have 5.0.2 but I'm pretty sure that is what I had before.

Sorry guys, I had taken my ambien. Only excuse I have..
Don't upgrade if you're a rooted user!!!!! I'm the one who posted about upgrading yesterday and now I can't downgrade or re-root. I'm stuck with a battery draining, bloated, non-rooted phone until our genius s6 devs come up with a way of rooting.

Yes always have been since day one. Why would you want to?
All you have to do is flash the firmware via odin
Have you already tried Superuser? I've never unrooted before, but its an option in the settings tab.
I actually figured it out you're right about downloading the firmware i was just asking to be sure cause i was scared to do it since this phone is still new and all and i didnt wanna brick it but thanks guys!
i only unrooted just to install 5.1.1. i feel so stupid for doing it now cause theres no root available

S7 firmware question

Hi guys !
Waiting for my brand new Galaxy S7 to come home, i'm checking for what can be done on it.
So, about it, is there any pre-rooted firmware that can be installed with Odin ? In order to get root without losing Knox... Don't know if it's even possible...
Thanks guys !

I don't think that's possible but you might want to have a look at the development thread for the s7.
