Should I root my S6? No warranty then - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
So I really want to root my S6 because the battery sucks and I want to install some Xposed stuff...
But the problem is that I'm on 5.1.1, so I can't root it without tripping the KNOX count.
I have asked Samsung about it and they say that it will void my warranty
So I'm still considering to root it or not.
If for example my camera doesn't work anymore, I have to pay to fix it.
What would you guys do?

Why why your camera is not working? Did you broke it?

He said for example, it's not that his camera is actually bad or broken

[Q] Rooting SM-G920F 5.1.1 XXU3COI9 without triiping knox?

Hello Devs,
I am posting this as i want to know that is there any way to root my s6 g920f model on 5.1.1 COI9 firmware without tripping Knox and any other hardware ( I don't want a phone with hardware defects after rooting ).
As i have searched over internet and xda itself and found that many s6 user have reported that after rooting they have broken their finger print sensor and other things ( I don't want to become the next victim as i love my phone way too much plus its a gift from my sister ).
I know there are kernels and CF-Auto root which can do the job done but with tripping the Knox. i also know that there is a app called PingPong which root the phone without tripping Knox but unfortunately its compatible with older version i.e 5.0.1.
So any of you know the safe method to root please do help me..
On OI9 I think is impossibile root without tripping knox
In all 5.1.1 roms its impossible to root without tripin knox... Also the same policy will be applied in the MM...
Thanks guys for your reply.
I think i have to wait or i have to root it
can't really decide what to do..
i can't live without root but i also don't to damage my phone's hardware by rooting

Is it true that rooting s6 will damage fingerprint scanner or other hardware?
No... Only will damage samsung pay. You "maybe" never be able to get Samsung pay work after root.

Only Samsung Pay won't work after tripping Knox.

Hi and welcome to XDA!
No. If you trip knox while rooting your phone then samsung pay is gone forever. There is no way to reverse this.
That's all it does.

Simple question about rooting s6 and s6 edge

So i have a verizon s6 running 7.0
baseband g920vvrs4dqk1
build # nrd90m.g920vvrs4dqk1
security patch nov.1 2017
I also have an at&t s6 edge running 7.0
baseband g925aucs7erc1
build # nrd90m.g925aucs7erc1
security patch march 1 2018
So I've been searching for months looking for info on xda and the web to get root for them but from everything I've found says it's not possible without tripping knox.. but everything seems to either brick, boot-loop or is not legit.
What I want to know is:
Can I get root for either one of them?
I'm not worried about the warranty since they are already expired or Knox since if I can get root I'd like to get rid of it all together and I really want them rooted so I can get a debloat Rom for them and play around with them..
So can someone please help me and give me some good news for Christmas... thanks for any time, help and/or advise it's greatly appreciated and respected
You can't root any AT&T and Verizon variant of S6 series (S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus) no matter what.

Because the locked bootloader? That sucks.. was hoping it was just because of the warranty and no one wanting to avoid it...

Yeah, the root tool is free. But not others. Just have a try.
Ok I'll give it a shot...
