Just got a new Verizon S6. on 5.0.2 Baseband 0F1
Can this phone be rooted?
Should I take the update?
Thanks

Yes you can root it. Taking the update is up to you. I wouldn't but that's me. At least try out some Roms before you do.
Wrong, OF1 cannot be rooted. OE2 was the last rootable Baseband version.
Right. You can odin beck from of1 to oe2 though can't you?

Never mind you can not. He is right. My bad I thought you could.
Nope, OF1 has the locked Bootloader, read HERE
Just saw that SRSRoot says it works with LMY47X.G920VVRU4BOG9
However, their site and the application gets flagged for malware.
Scanned the program with avast and it detected several packages that LOOK like they just are used for running root methods, but really don't want to take the risk of running it on my pc/phone.
Samsung s4 on OF1 got root, maybe this can apply to s6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/root-of1-t3249971

Tried this out a few days ago and it worked on my S4 before I accidentally bricked it a few minutes after that
Upgraded to the S6. Willing to try out this method. Anyone have OE2 or OC3 odin flashable kernels handy?

Carefull, without a full backup it is risky and the kernel may not be compatible with the os.

If anyone gives this a try, please report back. I just bought a GS6 and it came with the OF1 pre-installed. Now I'm here praying for a root method (or divine intervention to teach me how to find one and then exploit it).

I'm trying to understand if it messes up the towelroot or not.
Thanks.
I took the plunge, but Towelroot refused to work on the new rom. Apart from that the tablet started rebooting spontaneously every 15 mins or so after I installed the update.
Def NOT recommended to install it.
I had to downgrade to the previous rom using Odin and now I'm back to normal.
Hope that helps.

Another possibility could be to install H3, then flash xxuanc3 firmware, towelroot it without tripping knox and then reflash h3 firmware. A similar procedure works on s4, but unfortunately I'm not enough expert on firmware and odin stuffs, so I am not sure if there are possibilities to brick the device and how to prepare the extracted firmwares for odin flashing. I found some procedures that should work for doing that but nothing about a way to check in advance if such procedures are sure.
A developer should be able to do this, but, in wich part of the forum this can be asked?

My device is rooted and I installed new update (KOT49H.P905XXUANH3) by flashing full ROM by odin, without wiping.
Now I'm experiencing random reboots (pretty often). The question is - is it because it was dirty-flesh or just new updated rom is not working properly?
Are you also experiencing such problems?

rooted NH3 with towelroot
Ok,
I successfully rooted NH3 with towelroot, acting as pointed out in my first post. The only problem I had is that once you load the XXUANC3 firmware you loose the wifi connectivity, obliging to rely on your provider's internet connectivity to complete the rooting proicess.
To remove the knox and update stuff I used a debloating script that in another thread for the sm-p905, but no other stuff, as this script was written for the previus version of the firmware.
No knox trip nor reboots, so far.

No WIFI after update
Hi Guys,
I don't have root, and I only use it via WIFI.
However, after today's update, it does not connect to WIFI nor it recognizes my WIFI name.
I don't know what to do.

- Check that developer mode is enabled
- Download and install Towelroot and supersu
- Shut down the tablet
- Reboot (Home Key + Volume Down + Poweron, then volume UP) in download mode and flash with Odin 3.07 or 3.09 the latest firmware (XXUANH3).
- Shut Down the tablet
- Reboot the tablet and flash only the Kernel of the previous firmware (XXUANC3)
- You loose the WIFI connectivity, so connect to the internet through your phone provider internet connection, then - Launch Towelroot and root your tablet, Then launch Supersu and disable Knox. The tablet may freeze at this point (didn't happen to me), but in any case you have to shut down.
- Reboot in download mode and flash the latest firmware (XXUANC3).
- At this point you're done, but, to avoid random reboots you have to completely remove Knox, something that you can do with several tools. I used a debloating tool for SM-P905 that I found in this forum.
About the Kernel files needed for this procedure, I tried to attach them to my posts, but it looks like I'm not yet enabled to do that (too few posts, may be).
To prepare them from the original firmware files I used a Windows script called TAR_MD5_PAKAGER, that you can find searching in this forum.
Hope that the above results clearer than my previous posts

With TI you can freeze System Update 1.0 to stop OTA from loading. You might need to remove the update file if you already have it to stop the notice.

OC3. I know but I use my phone a LOT for work and need tethering to work more than anything else and already have foxfi working alright while being without root which is good enough for the time being......not sure how to set it (tethering) up once I am rooted without digging into XDA some more to find out.
Plus I have to set up all my apps again coming from my S3, and settings and such.

Have you ever used odin? You could update manually. Or use smartswitch. I always use custom roms myself. Most of those have tethering enabled built in.

I've never used SmartSwitch before. Have used Odin a few times in the past but definitely wouldn't call myself "savvy" with it. On your link whats the difference between "Stock OE2 Tar" and "OE2 Retail Firmware" ?
The entire rooting process on the S6 freaks me out more than than the S3 simply because the battery is sealed and can't pull it if I need to....

The firmware one is like an update. I've never used smartswitch but it is supposed to be a safe way to update. There is kies too.
Rooting the S6 is simple and safe in my opinion. Ping-pong is a snap. No need for a computer. Instead of pulling the battery, you can always go into maintenance mode to reboot or turn off your phone. Just like going into download mode (except your phone is still on) you hold the volume down-home-power buttons for about ten seconds and let go. Gunthermic has a rooted rom that is stock deodexed that is really nice. Misterxtc has an OC3 and OE2 roms. You need to install flashfire. That is our only way to flash roms or mods. It works great (also does backups).

"LG's Root Checker Tool prevents this. You can read more about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-...lysis-t3229175"
In that link, the factory reset that they are talking about is by holding the volume down while rebooting. That wouldn't work, but a Disk Dump of the original files (StockOS) back onto the phone will in fact work.
Does this method work? Anyone else test it?

- unrooted 10l
- rooted 10l

have never had problems updating OTA as long as i reflash the unrooted system.img first. keep in mind, i also do not install xposed as that seems to be the thing that keeps OTA from being installed later on

For the h81010o version, you said to use the low effort root method... Do I do the exact method and use the same exact AT&T commands that they have for the h81010g? Because I want to know if that command is compatible with the h81010o version. Thank you.
Hey everyone,
So I found online that the AT&T update to Marshmellow started on 2-8-16. I haven't been able to find anything officially from AT&T but apperently the version is H81020n and its 971 MB. Has anyone gotten the update yet?
Just saw this thread and figured I'd check. Went into the update center and notification popped up for new 950mb update. Must be it cause I was already on 10o. Didn't even have to use LG Bridge like the other carrier guys were doing.
Will post back with an update once completed

not possible. you can't modify the system files and boot without a modified kernel. We don't have an unlocked bootloader, so no kernels, thus no root.
if you root MM your phone will just loop without the custom kernel.

I upgraded early yesterday morning and my phone has been hot almost all the time!! The battery life is way worse than prior to the upgrade. I have cleaned out all my junk files and cache rebooted and recharged a few times. Also optimized my apps a few times. I just picked up my phone after 2 hours of no use and it was warm and the battery is draining at a faster rate than with Lollipop... Anybody else experiencing this?
Awesome, glad the update is out....I haven't done the update just yet...waiting to see if we hear anything about root. I'm wondering if we are still able to downgrade via TOT method if need be...if that's the case then i'll update ASAP. I actually have heard that there are some battery issues with the update, but again I'm not on 6.0 yet so I can't tell you from my experience.

So their is no root ?
Also can I just unistall SuperSU and update or do I need to wait tell I'm home and flash a clean image

No root.
I've never managed to update w/o flashing the unrooted version of whatever rooted version I'm running. If there's an easier way, I'm not aware of it.

Asking too
I recently had to odin back to stock OE2 on my device and am trying to re-acquire root access however Pingpong root keeps telling me my device is unsupported when I attempt to Download Data as per the instructions. I rooted originally with Pingpong many months ago when my device was brand new so dont understand why this is failing. I am rooted now via Kinguser but dont like it as I would prefer to have SuperSU installed so that I can use flashfire. Anyone have any ideas? Its almost like Pingpong is not downloading any updated data, I have verified that my build number is right so totally stumped. Anyone have any ideas on how to get Pingpong to work again or another means of getting SuperSU installed and the binary to update?
Additional note: I never took any OTA updates, was on OE2 ever since unboxing the phone nearly a year ago.
Attached is a screenshot of my build version.
Which version of ping pong root are you trying? Not sure if that matters though.
Tried both versions listed, beta5.1 and beta6. Both say device not yet supported. I am thinking that the pingpong app is just no longer downloading the data required.
i wonder if i make a flashfire back up of certain partitions, if you can flash my backup and get the result your wanting. Im thinking just system partition. Since its a verizon gs6, you think it would work? Obviously i wont do the efs partitions.

I cant use FlashFire since I cannot get SuperSU installed and the binary to update. I'm stuck with this stupid kingroot which I have to re-run every time I reboot the phone to get root. I need Pingpong to start working again

I recently had to odin back to stock OE2 on my device and am trying to re-acquire root access however Pingpong root keeps telling me my device is unsupported when I attempt to Download Data as per the instructions. I rooted originally with Pingpong many months ago when my device was brand new so dont understand why this is failing. I am rooted now via Kinguser but dont like it as I would prefer to have SuperSU installed so that I can use flashfire. Anyone have any ideas? Its almost like Pingpong is not downloading any updated data, I have verified that my build number is right so totally stumped. Anyone have any ideas on how to get Pingpong to work again or another means of getting SuperSU installed and the binary to update?
Additional note: I never took any OTA updates, was on OE2 ever since unboxing the phone nearly a year ago.
Attached is a screenshot of my build version.

I am having the exact same problem. But what is so bad about Kinguser? I haven't used that but is that the only other way to get root on OE2 if pingpong doesn't work?

Nothing really I guess, other than having to re-run the root process every time I reboot my device. Not to mention I cant get Flashfire to run with it so that I can switch to one of the custom roms that are available. Really have major buyers remorse with this bloody phone.

I've used it successfully many times on the s5 verizon and I has worked 100% of the time

Wow thanks for this tip! Worked like a charm for me, Just had to make sure I was on an older version of Kingroot first then Super Sume worked its magic.
