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

Hello everybody
I want to upgrade to Android 5.1.1 without tripping KNOX. Is there a way to upgrade via FlashFire? I heard that is not possible because the new bootloader has a write protection (only downgrade is not possible anymore).
My current rom is G920FXXU1AOE3 rooted with PingPong-root.
Thanks in advance

You can unroot and upgrade without tripping knox. Although the only working root method for 5.1 is a slightly modified stock kernel (to my knowledge) which in turn will trip your knox. And yes, you're correct, once upgraded to 5.1 you cannot downgrade without special equipment.

I thought so. Hmm what if I try to flash the full stock firmware G920FXXU2BOFJ (DBT) over FlashFire with the EverRoot option and flash the bootloader via Odin?

I can't answer that with certainty but sounds good in theory. Awfully risky shot in the dark though ;(

Unfortunately it doesn't work. I'm stuck now on Android 5.1.1 unrooted ??
A downgrade doesn't work even if I repackaged the firmware file (with 5.1.1 bootloader and 5.0.2 system, kernel and modem etc). It stops while flashing kernel... ?
For those who failed to root, have a look at this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qL9qKbQa54 It helped me rooted my S6 with Android 5.1.1 and Knox is still OK

Your link is broken and i highly doubt it was legit.
There are still no known way to root in 5.1.1 without tripping the knox counter, sorry.

Yes i also checked the video is no more on youtube . sorry folks
hy people.
its my first time on galaxy s6 here. for months i had the 5.0.2 firmware original, nothing changed, perfect. it was really fastest.
but when it comes out the 5.1.1 update, problems started. really bad battery life (i never had this problem), more lags un the transition animations, i can confirm this because for four moths i never had lag where now there are prominently.
so now i decide to come back to a rom/firmware with the 5.0.2 (0 problems in that firmware).
is there a possibility now?.
let me know, thanks. I'm on "G920FXXU2POFJ" (vodafone italy).
It's not possible to downgrade from 5.1.1
Nope. Not possible. Im getting a worse battery life than i had in 5.0.2 since now i don't root to greenefy a lot of apps. Still it is usable. When a root without tripping knox is available everything will be fine again.

There is a good chance that root without tripping KNOX may not ever happen again. Then people will have to choose if they still want root or not tripping KNOX.

I thought about that. In that case i would choose root. I giving some time to see if anyone can do it first. If not i will root it anyway
guys. I'm thinking. since there is on way to downgrade now, I'm on the 5.1.1 vodafone brand, can i install a ITV 5.1.1 NO-BRAND?
Anyone knows which post should I follow in order to get updates about 5.1.1 rooting? I've flashed manually (stock 5.1.1 on G920I) and I really regret that I can't root and install Xtrestolite right now.
I have Sprint G925PVPU3BOI1 5.1.1 and was wondering what is the best/easiest way to root this phone. Does pingpong method actually work on this model? If not will other methods trip the knox thing and if it does will that only mean I won't get OTA updates or are there other disadvantages of tripping knox?
Thanks for the help

You can not root anymore with ping pong root. That only works on early firmware. Only disadvantages of tripping knox is that you won't be able to use Samsung pay if that matters, and it voids your Samsung warranty, meaning if something goes wrong Samsung won't touch it; however, your carrier will.
Thank you for the prompt information. With that being said is the process to root the model phone I have + 5.1.1 is to download odin put phone in d/l mode,use odin to flash with twrp and then flash rom, and then I can feel the joy or am I leaving out a step? is is correct where can I find the correct version of Odin and twrp, I've seen reference to it on this e but get a little confused about which file is correct for my model.
Thank you again for taking the time to help me

You must first root before you can install TWRP. There is a rooted kernel that you can use through Odin. Here is my thread with TWRP and the kernel.

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
Hello! I bought a S6 (G920F) two months ago and it came with 5.1.1 android installed. I want to root it but without tripping KNOX because I have two year warranty. I know that pingpong root does this but on 5.0.2. Can I flash the official build for 5.0.2 via Odin and don't get KNOX tripped? Thanks!

Once on 5.1.1 you can't go back to 5.0.2. I can't remember the outcome of trying but it may result in a brick.
I think you could flash an engineering bootloader for the F variant and root it without tripping knox

if your firmware is COI9 or newer, you can do root without tripping knox.
