I'd like to root by AT&T Galaxy S6, but I've determined that I have one of the newer models that PingPong root won't work on. If I don't care about KNOX, can I still root it somehow?
Thanks

I have a straight talk galaxy s3 (sch-s968c) and have no plans to upgrade it. i really like this phone. i got a samsung gear live as a gift and like it as well. after wading through forums for the last two weeks, i have managed to root my phone. now i just need simple directions on how to get the android updated to 4.3 or 4.4. either one is fine for my needs. i tried to follow some forum threads on how to do this, but they are usually too vague for me to accomplish it. help. please.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to get help is the device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att. They are the experts on your device. Your device is a variant of the S3 so you may have to work a little to find the answers you're looking for. But here are some tips:
You can usually find stock firmware for Samsung devices at Samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com. They are flashable in Odin. Always backup first, off your device, before using Odin
There may or may not be a root method for 4.3 or 4.4. Root exploits are generally patched with each new android version. Check in the forum I linked you to.
Don't be afraid to ask questions in the threads you've found. They are the experts. At XDA Assist we have good overall general knowledge but may not have knowledge specific to your device.
Good luck!

I've been attempting to root for a while now with no success. Is rolling back a viable option or is there another way? Currently i'm on 4.4.4. Please provide detailed instructions if there is another way. I've rooted my previous phone with towelroot, but it did not work on this phone. I'll update if i need to list any other info.

I have been looking for a way to root my phone without a computer. I have noticed TWL root ( I think that's what it's called) then King root and there's one other I don't remember the name. I am running a note 3 n900P and I have 5.0. My service is through sprint. Is King root safe for me to run? I'm afraid I will brick my phone Thank you in advance for your help.
Thank you for using XDA Assist.

I just got this phone in the mail today. Before I got it I looked at all of the root methods and I thought this was a good phone. I don't know how to root the phone and the only method that I know of is by geohot, but it doesn't see my phone as an s4 active. My Android version is 5.0.1 and my build is ucucoc7. Please help me I would like to have root access because I have never had an android phone without root permissions and I want to keep the trend going.

Hi,
Here is a thread from your device section that asks the same question... It should help you,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active/help/root-s4-active-5-0-1-t3093052
Good luck!
I think the thread that you sent to me was meant for the international variant of the phone. I have the AT&T variant
There is only one section for the active, There's no carrier sub sections. You could ask there if there's a difference though.
Otherwise you could create your own thread in the Q&A section...
