To receive ota updates, you'll have to unroot it though unless u flash via odin! For rooting methods, search the forum.
From a personal experience I don't find the need to root. Package Disabler Pro is here to disable any app, themes customize almost everything in the phone, TW is fast enough.
Why would you like to root?
There are tons of guides and tutorials here in the s6 section. It should help you in your way. Your free to root as you wish haha.
As for the knox, Engineered bootloader is okay but with no fingerprint scanner. Its the only way to root without tripping Knox. Any root method aside frm this will trip knox

You will need to flash back stock recovery in order to get ota updates.
Why do you need to trip knox??
you can root the S5 without tripping Knox!!

Even with the latest os 5.0?
I used to have an s4 and back then no one has found out a way to root it without tripping Knox and I'm not going to flash any custom rom. I just want the xposed framework and lucky patcher

You can flash back to kitkat and then upgrade with flashfire to stock rooted lollipop.

Really, and how is that done. I have an S5 on AT&T running 5.0, phone was replaced through warranty for a newer version of the S5.
Towelroot didn't even work on my phone when it was on 4.4.2 through 4.4.4
So if there is any that you know how to root my phone, please let me know because I've been looking for a working root since I obtained the phone.
Hey dudes,
I'm relatively new to Samsung devices, so I have few big questions.
1. Is it possible to root the new firmware G920FXXU2BOFJ without tripping KNOX counter?
2. If there is a way to root but only with tripping KNOX, can I somehow reset the counter and go back to 100% stock without any traces?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, there is a method using PingPong Root however you need to be on 5.0.2. If not then unfortunately there is no way to root at the moment without tripping knox.
I know about PingPong Root. But I'm asking to root 5.1.1! ?

No way without tripping Knox, if you don't care about Knox flash uni kernel which will auto root your s6

Okay, thanks. Is there any way to reset the KNOX counter (like TriangleAway), e.g. when I flash a stock rom will that reset the counter??

There is currently no way to reset the counter at the moment. I am sure some devs will figure it out at some point.
Alright! Thanks a bunch....Guess that means waiting for me
Hey guys,
I am planning to move to 5.1.1 stock G920IIUS2COH1 for my 920I but I want to know if there is still no possible solution to root without tripping KNOX?
I have 5.0.2 rooted I did not install TWRP to avoid tripping KNOX, is this better to stick like that?
Thank you
You will not hear of a fix, it might come, it might never not. If you need root stick to 502

It's possible if someone manages to leak the engineering bootloader for G920I
Hi together,
i'm really a bit confused, about rooting the S6 G920FXXXU3COI9,
With in am example CF Autoroot.
I have debranded successfully my Phone from XEF to DBT Firmware.
I would like, to root my Device to debloat it, because of unnecessary Battery Drain
From unwanted and unused Software.
Maybe any chance, for not triggering Knox?
Is this possible to root G920FXXXU3COI9 ?
Or should I wait, for 6.0 Marshmallow?
Thanks in regards, for tipps and tricks
I guess not. No PingPongRoot on 5.1.1

You obliviously can root COI9, but you can't keep Knox warranty in any way in 5.1.1.
For rooting you can use CF autoroot or flash TWRP via Odin and once in recovery flash Unikernel, which has a inbuilt root. The kernel is also made with better features than stock one.
Your choice.
There was an update of autoroot from chainfire without you need special rooted kernel.
Maybe I get this wrong

Hey guys
I recently acquired my S6 . I was wondering if someone could instruct me on how to root it? I don't mind tripping Knox or voiding warranty. I found rooting instructions but I'm not sure they work on my build and I don't want to mess up my phone. Please assist me in rooting. Build details are in screens hot below
I have the same problem. The current how-to is so outdated that i don't dare to root my phone using that.
And yes those builds complicate things.
same here I wanna root my S6 marshmallow without tripping KNOX
If you don't mind tripping KNOX the root is pretty simple. Just flash this file by Chainfire with Odin and you are done. However you can't root without tripping KNOX.
