Hi guys,
I just got a new g920i on 5.1.1. I checked Chainfire and his root only supports up to 5.02. What is the currently the easiest way to root/install custom ROM such as XtreSolite on my S6? is it compatible to begin with?
the guide to root here also doesn't work with my model: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/s6-g920f-5-0-2-engineering-bootloader-t3209916
need to be doubly sure as I don't want to brick my phone after tripping knox..
Use a custom kernel to root, easy as can be.

I think this is the most asked and most answered question on XDA right now. If tripping Knox concerns you, don't root.

There is a root method out they doesn't trip Knox, which will allow you to install some apps they require root, but if you want to do any modification or flash anything through custom recovery, you will trip it. No way around it.

Deodexed is easier to mod and theme; some say Odex runs smoother/faster. I prefer deodexed though because I like modding/theming my phone.

Deknoxed means all the Knox security apps have been removed, but just know, the Knox bootloader is STILL present.

After market warranty, from my understanding, doesn't care what you do to your phone. Only Samsung cares about Knox trip. But I can't tell you what to buy man. I don't have any insurance, but I'm very careful with my phone. Depends on if you think you may brick it or break it, I guess .

So I've been rooting my Samsungs since my Galaxy S2, but tripping Knox has always been unclear... As of know I'm running stock recovery, stock NE5 rooted and have 0x0... Does that mean I have not tripped Knox yet?
And if it doesn't, will I trip Knox by flashing a custom recovery?

That is correct, you have not tripped Knox yet, and yes, flashing custom recovery will trip Knox

Ok thank you. Other than voiding warranty by tripping Knox, is there any other consequence?
Will I still be able to run art, use every feature on the phone if I do trip Knox?

I was searching through diferent threats like http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-root-tool-t3103016/post62164597#post62164597 , all informations says that pingpong root will never work on SM-G920V 5.0.2 G920VVRU2AOF1 or Lolipop 5.1.1 and no one should wait for a PingPong update cause PinPong will never be able to root them, can anybody tell me if some one is trying any other exploit about this built's ?!?!

You can root with CF auto root. This will trip Knox flag (don't know if you care).

As you told me about this method CT Auto Root ( I never heard before) , i was searching online for it and I found the website https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ , i dont know how Knox Flag will effect my Galaxy S6 , but presuming that's not a big deal , the CF Auto Root website doesn't show anything about SM-G920V , or maybe they haven't update all supported models !
Anyway thanks for replying !

auto root does NOT work on verizon or ATT variants since we have locked BL's

@1663 Tripping knox will void your warranty (unless you are in the EU it's debatable). Secondly you won't be able to use Samsung Pay.
I could care less about Samsung Pay. Wherever they accept SP they will accept Google Wallet, for the most part. I just bought mine brand new and it came with this build. I'm really regretting this device. I hope someone roots it, but it may be quite a while.

you guys dont understand lol.. vzw s6/s6e CANNOT trip knox to root the device.. it will fail EVERY time unless someone found a way to unlock the BL and didnt share with anyone.. he is stuck until a new root exploit comes out that doesnt involve custom kernels/unlocked BLs since its not possible on vzw

I was giving general information about what tripping knox does.
I could not wait for someone to root the newest version of lollipop for Verizon, just purchased a rooted phone from Swappa.com and sold my S6. That is a faster way, IMO, Instead of waiting for someone to root OF1.

gs4 had a root method/loki on mdk bootloader and earlier..
vzw gs5 was towelroot with safestrap..
i had both and previous galaxy phones..
the vzw gs4 was the last phone i was able to use custom kernels on.. gs5 however didnt have a tripped knox as towelroot was used and the BL was locked as it is now as well.

so everyone seems to be focusing on a way to get root without tripping knox.
what if you dont give a F about whether knox knows you are rooted?
is there an easy way to root the verizon model then?

Hello, not new to rooting at all. Just got an S6 build G920VVRU4BOK7 and apparently I can't find a way to root this device without tripping KNOX.
Can anyone point me to a thread or something where this has been discussed? (yes I searched and nothing came up)
I'm running 5.1.1

What phone currently available for Verizon network IS rootable?
Any of the Note variants?
Any Nexus model?
I don't mean it has to be purchased at Verizon just capable of running on the network.

The title and OP in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/root-list-root-apps-t3106204 - reads as if rooting the phone is possible.
That said it doesn't detail how to root and none of the other threads seem to indicate it either. Last I checked rooting the S6 was not readily possible, especially if you care about not tripping Knox.

Yes, firmware versions OE2 and below can be rooted. The OP is talking about version G920VVRU4BOK7 which cannot be rooted. There is currently no rooting method available whether it trips KNOX or not.
