We can't. No Kernel source has been released, and Android M needs a new bootloader which is unique for each model.

I think most Samsung's employees want to keep their job...
G920F it's identical to G920I for example, so I think that it shouldn't be that difficult

thats a thought in mind i had. i am tempted to try to odin flash it. it wouldnt hurt to try. my device reads as 920F but i dont know if odin will detect it that way based on the build prop. but its worth a shot to try. hell it may work. ive seen stranger things occur..especially with my phone.

Yes. If it doesn't work. It just won't work...it either will flash or wont flash.....if anything..I keep a stock bootloader and rom on a flash drive with odin and a custom kernel and a copy of philz recovery for odin for emergencies.
So, did anyone tried?

I was going to but after reading thru the threads, I'm gonna hold off for official release (which should be soon for European S6) becasues apparently the battery drains from an unofficial upgrade path is pretty serious. And some people are getting force closes. I really really want to tho, so I may. I mean KNOX isnt important to me. Still debating.

You sir are awesome! Definitely the biggest progress so far that we have gotten out of all this work. Whoever leaked this for us a BIG thanks to them. Just one step closer to full unlock the way I see it (and one step closer to someone picking up that bounty).
By the way, where did you find that version of CWM? Does it work properly with this Verizon variant and for stock roms as well?

A bit off topic now but any word on when Koush is planning to release CWM 6 for US Galaxy S III variants (or specifically VZW I guess)? I see it's already out for i9300.

I haven't been able to revert from the EC bootchain. Odin complains about the md5 of the LF2 and LG1 bootchains.
Forcing an Odin flash causes aboot to trip the security check.

What the difference with this and the GS3FSRoot that is posted ?
I was able to obtain root without flashing a full Rom. Is this better? Can this trigger the vzw lockout?

Just a different method. This one gets you custom recovery before root whereas the other gets you root before custom recovery.
You'll pretty much end up in the same place at the end of either one.
How do we upgrade to the latest boot chain? Where do we get it from?

Will this method be harder to patch than the GS3FSRoot or will they both likely be patched easily?
Why would they be patched? Verizon is already taking a beating over the bootloader from Samsung.

So I have a galaxy s6 original from att, I could never get it to root. I just switched over to tmobile, I have unlocked the phone and installed the newest update. Still will not root. What am I missing? What the hell is going on, there is no way I have the only unrootable s6. Side note spell check does not like "unrootable". Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Is this a downgrade? Bc my screenshot is from just now and it's the unlocked us variant running the same build it shipped with but has had an update waiting to be installed for about a week. And my number Is higher than yours.
BEWARE!! Thats a new boot loader... v2! you wont be able to do a full factory restore until a v2 bootloader odin file is released.
That being said, how do you like it? any differences?

You will probably be waiting quite awhile.... As I stated in my thread, little to NO devs are working on root for the s9/+... I've seen one Korean user mention he was trying in another forum for us SD users, and ONE other guy... That's it, just 2 people and myself. Don't expect anything before Christmas.
The only member (SAMFail creaters) i know working on ROOT doesnt have the device but has a tester... Its gonna be a while...
Dude, dont post these. I roasted you enough on reddit. The basics, these are bad updates to use unless I can verify them before. Bl updates are dangerous. Also just dont use them dude, the website could be shut down any day because of people like you.

Why are these bad updates?
These updates from sam firm science allowed a lot of us to get onto oreo beta. If you know how to recover your phone why is this a problem. OP explained the risk with the bootloader.

Because NEVER do bl updates. Btw check my post history, I did Note8 Oreo. Also I work with the dude who makes the site. I know this stuff. That's why I am saying it's a bad idea.

Actually, cancel that, he is no longer trying root methods SAMFail has been PATCHED! So, it gonna be even longer until ROOT....
I may just go to international S9+ if there root seems like a false hope on the SD variant. The only issue would be VoLTE and WiFi calling, oh and Samsung suddenly restricting call recording apps on international variant. I tried flashing those Engboot from other thread with no luck btw.
