Hi.
What is the best and easiest way to root + custom recovery.
I was fine doing it with my previous galaxy devices but seem to be a bit harder this time lol
Seems more complicated.
I'm running Android 5.1.1
Thanks in advance.
There are several threads about rooting 5.1.1 in this section and general section. Try searching for them!
try searching lol. im not the kind of person to just ask for somthing without searching.
its just a bit confusing as to which one to use.
As you are using 5.1.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/galaxy-s6-root-5-1-1-variants-t3147074
trips knox, no way without tripping it.
btw., one of the first threads in the general section

Actually, there is a way to do it without tripping Knox. I'm on 5.1.1 running xtrestolite rom and unikernel and my Knox is still intact.
Search the forum for the engineering bootloader for your phone.
The only downside is that you lose fingerprint functionality until you restore it all to stock.
Thank you I'll have a look now. Don't use finger print anyways. ☺

Here's the thread. Really should be made more visible in the regular S6 forum as well - it seems unbeknownst to many in here that it works on 920F too.

Hello.
I have a E5 using Stock ROM with latest update running 4.4.4 KitKat.
I wasn't thinking about rooting it but I need a few changes that requires permissions.
I read about CF autoroot etc. but none worked using exploits (Updated Firmware )
I'm not really into flashing using Odin, I don't want an entry in my Knox...
Is there anyway I can root my device without adding an entry to my knox?
Thanks.
(PS: XDA needs A and E series subforums!)
More data on attach.
Still waiting for an answer ...
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. You generally can't modify Samsung devices without tripping Knox unfortunately, so you have a difficult choice to make.
Hello!
So, is there a way to backup/reset Knox?
Is "Triangle Away" used to reset Knox?
Thanks!

You can read about Triangle Away here
[2014.01.15][ROOT] TriangleAway v3.26
But your device isn't on the list of supported devices.

Is there a way for me to help developer to develop a round about for my device? Or do i just have to wait?

You could try contacting the developer and asking, if you're willing for your phone to be a guinea pig.

Hello, I have read this thread and I want to know if this tutorial could work for our Galaxy S6 with PingPongRoot.
Has anyone tried it?
Thanks.
Hello,
It will work without impacting Knox if you only want to get root.
But when you will install a custom recovery to flash custom ROM ---> Knox +1...
No choice from now.
Ah cool. I don't feel so bad for tripping knox prior to ping-pong. I don't really mind Samsung pay at the moment anyway.

Seems like someone managed to flash a custom ROM on the S6 using FlashFire without tripping Knox: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433/post60748708
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

Update, then root
Hello, I deleted a video and I would like to recover it, it seems most android recovery apps require a rooted phone. I don't plant to install any custom roms or recoveries, or kernels, I just want to be able to retrive my deleted files.
Any rooting method for the S6 Edge G920i variant?
Thank you
Of course no one would reply

Unfortunately it seems you haven't noticed the ridiculous number of threads and posts here on XDA that explain, in no uncertain terms, that you cannot gain root access on a Galaxy S6 running Lollipop 5.1.1 without tripping your Knox counter. Yes, your warranty will be voided, but when you have a heap of support here on XDA your issues can often be solved without the need to return the device to the retailer for repair.
This thread explains about the rooting process, and offers one of the best solutions available for the G920I...

My apologies on behalf of other peeps here that may have ignored your cries for help; it's just that we get so many n00bs asking 'how do I root my phone without tripping Knox?' before they use their heads and research the subject, it's gotten quite aggravating...
Hope you get sorted out, and for further details, try reading my Helper Posts...

Can't access the links as it's not letting me copy them on my phone on the xda app. What android version are you on?

Android version: 7.0
Model number: SAMSUNG-SM-G920A
Right okay cool thanks for that. I have bad news for you, because your phone has a locked bootloader it cannot be rooted at this point until an exploit is found. I even had a look over in the At&T s6 forums and there's not much going on. Sorry mate.

That sucks but thanks for the straightforward answer. But there's really 0 options for me at this point? Not even downgrading or flashing? (Just some terms I've picked up, don't exactly know what those mean)

Unfortunately not, downgrading is when going from one version to the previous, due to how samsung setup their bootloader, trying to say go from nougat to Marshmallow is not possible so you will always remain on nougat. Flashing is commonly done via a recovery and a piece of software called odin, every phone has a recovery but most root things need you to have a custom recovery like twrp this can only be achieved via having root, odin is used to flash stock Samsung firmwares. Hope that helps a bit. For the time being my advice to you is to keep looking at the s6 at&t forums from time to time, at some point they may come out with a root exploit that works.
