My S6 Edge+ model is a G928T
Just in case this helps, my firmware/baseband is: G928TUVU1AOGD_G928TTMB1AOGD_TMB
Thanks in advance!
So I can Odin this on my T-Mobile Note 5, and then can we actually use it to back-up and flash and what not?

You keep posting over here in the Note5 forums, why don't you head over there and wait for root/TWRP/etc? You should probably avoid flashing any of these things on your Edge+, but you do what you want.

No one there has even started a thread
related to a compatible twrp or root for
the G928T phone.
Since the Note 5 and the S6 Edge+ have
almost identical specs and hardware I am
hoping that perhaps twrp and root might
be similar enough to be interchangeable.

Patience is a virtue TWRP might work, but I'm sure there are kernel differences between the 2 and you might have issues if you flash that kernel to get root. Better to wait it out and keep the thread on topic about the Note5.

I would say if your worried about Samsung pay not working, maybe wait until Samsung pay actually comes out and see if some other brave tries this and then tries using Samsung pay to see if it works. No need to get your panties in a bunch before we even know for sure.
I'm not concerned about something I won't use. I have root so I'm happy. Bring on the roms. Don't harass the devs to make a special Samsung Pay root either lol. Not happening.

Charlieb620, you have root, but does your fingerprint reader still work? Also, if you could, link the 2 threads you followed for rooting. I know of the TWRP thread, but the root method thread...?

Its either Note 4 or Note Edge.
It can't be both.
But Googling your Model #, you have the Note Edge.
First time I've heard of a SM-N915W8 variant.

There is no root currently for the AT&T SM-N915A Galaxy Note Edge. Some are working on it with the Note 4 and its thought that when the Note 4 does eventually get root, then the process can be applied to the Note Edge.
Here is the thread for the Root Progress

Wait, - correct me if Im wrong, but you only flashed TWRP and Supersu from stock?? .....and that alone gave you root without CF-Autoroot?

Yep...
A lot of people have tried and found it works,not just me...
If you plan to root your phone try my way first,as long as bootloaders AREN'T locked then try CF-Autoroot if it doesn't work...
It doesn't do anything that you weren't going to do yourself(Knox will be triggered), except miss out on flashing cf-autoroot, getting an error message and having a heart attack before pulling out the battery and essentially doing what I suggested...

The bootloader is locked and at this time, we do not have root. There are people working on getting root accomplished on the Note 4 (AT&T and VZW variants), that will work on the Note edge.

If it is the root method using the exploits that they are currently working on it should work as our device is vulnerable as well. However, if it is a different vulnerability that is exploited, it isn't guaranteed that the root method would work on the Edge.
Already answered question...
I gotta look at my "Repeated Quotes" more often....
As above... These 12 hour shifts are starting to take their toll...
Just as the title says. Of the people that have gotten the new update. Is your phone rooted again? If yes please tell us this:
what model do you have?
what is the update version you have?
What approach or tutorial you used to root?
i hv 920I
i used CF auto root for rooting

I know that beta just came out and people are joining. Aside from 920F I want to know if they are going to beta test other models or not and if Root is still possible.
Now that the new official MM is coming, who has been brave enough to try it and see if root works or not?
I buy samsung for the root if not...i have to go with nexus and motorolla...i think i will go with droid turbo 2 at least i will not worry about droping it on the ground who cares as long as samsung makes type this devices that cannot support Roms...they will Fail soon just like nokia failed...imagine if samsung makes unrootable device just like knox stuff....LOL shut down the factory !
Now that the official update is out, has anybody confirmed systemless root via SuperSU? My Knox isn't tripped and want to keep it that way.

Thanks. First boot got stuck on splash screen and I didn't wait long enough and flashed stock until a solution, but checked back in on my post and with someone stating same issue and problem resolved, flashed root again and with in a minute or 2 later booted up verifying the root flash! Thanks a lot!! And, doesn't have the annoying red kernel not se android enforcing. This does work for sprint s6 edge 6.0.1 CPB6!

yes
The 14th should be when it's released to the accepted registered beta testers. The dates are posted in the beta app
9th for Sprint, 11th for Verizon, 14th for TMO
Thanks every one, hope someone dump does files for us
Whoever gets the update tomorrow. PULL THR UPDATE ZIP!
If I get it I will and post it. I have ready done this from my wife's sprint edge variant.
Here is how you do it:
You have to be on the latest firmware and not rooted.
If you get the update notification.
Download it, but do not install it.
Then root your device. DO NOT WIPE IT
The update.zip is located in /data/fota/update.zip
Pull it using adb or use root Explorer to move it to the root of your SDCard and then your pc.
Please wait for someone to verify it works before flashing the update or unroot.
Unfortunately I will not be able to pull said update as I do not want to root my device. I require working Knox and other benefits.

Only on the Exynos S7.
We use an engineering kernel that's signed by Samsung for root, so it doesn't trip Knox.
The root method for us doesnt trigger knox.
If I could Pull the update.zip It would be a pleasure but it was Full for register when I tried.
I'll see if I can pull the file for you gentlemen and ladies. I just don't really need root so I have not put attention to the rooting method since the note 5?

Pattern and pin both work ok. Never use password. The only thing I I've found so far is trying to click on Samsung cloud in settings causes it to report that it's closed. It seems to be working though since I logged into shealth. It just force closes from the settings menu.

Sure do. Tried the QE2 and QC7 files in @koop1955 's big post, but both get the same error. I imagine because I'm on S6 Edge, not just S6?
Although, now it looks like he's working on a new rooting method, so maybe I should hang back a bit for now anyway.

I'm running an edge and it runs fine on mine.

First of all, thanks for keeping this fone alive. Quick question: I'm currently on QH1, will this work? Just trying to cover my bases before I try anything...

Thanks, @amieldl143, for the shout out. @baknblack, this should have all that you need: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
Flash the TAR file with Odin (there is a how-to video), then root and TWRP and flash this great ROM. Enjoy!

Thanks for this, very helpful. I'm in a similar state from the guy above, currently running Renegade OJ7 v1, my kernel is 3.10.61-S6_UniKernel_v9-0000_beta, baseband version G925PVPU3BOJ7 and TWRP 2.8.7.0 with the most recent version of SuperSU.
My question is: should I bother with updating the kernel as well as flashing the TAR you linked to, or is just the TAR good enough? After that, should I mess with TWRP or leave it alone? Once I get that done, if I'm looking for a clean slate, should I just wipe all partitions and flash the ROM? If you can answer any/all of these it would be hugely helpful for a guy who doesn't do that much flashing and can't swing $800 on the new S8 right now.
Thank you!

I still have my edge and am running this. All I can tell you is you have to update to nougat first (flash the tar I think). It's been a long time since I did it. Once my phone was updated to the new firmware I then installed twrp and flashed the rom. That's about all I can remember. In my case it got hung in a boot loop and I had to flash a second time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Any chance you can let me know which kernel you're running? I get a lot of lockscreen crashing on my existing one and wondering if there isn't a better one available.
edit: looked and realized there's a kernel included in the zip, my bad! thanks again!
