Hey, i got my samsung galaxy s6 new but its on 5.1.1, dont know why i though it will be on 5.0.2 but it is on 5.1.1 :crying:
Is there anyway to root my s6 without trip knox?? I dont want to loose my fingerprint scanner but i really want to root, is there any way???
The modelnumber is SM-G920F and the android version is 5.1.1 and my my basebandversion is G920FXXU3COI9
no sorry not as yet
You will not loose the fingerprint scanner if you root, only Samsung Pay and a few other apps require knox.
In the q&a from the pingpong root thread there is written:
Q: How to root 5.1.1 then since PingPong root will never work?
WARNING: User report that fingerprint sensor and incoming call stop working after using the engineering sboot.
A: The classic recovery root method. You shall find details in many other posts. If you are T-Mobile user, lucky for you that there is a leaked engineering bootloader which make root a piece of cake without tripping Knox warranty bit:

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
I own a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I want to root to get full functionality from the device. I have read several root guides but they seem to be very old. Things like Towelroot I have read doesn't work anymore.
So if someone can give me a link or post and effective and up to date guide for rooting would be great.
I also have a few questions about rooting.
1. I have heard that some roots trip Samsung Knox so I need a root that wont do this
2. What does the Knox flag 0x1 actually do to the device other than void warrenty? I have heard it permanently disables Samsung services for the phone/tablet like Kies and adds warnings to the boot screen, but I don't know if this is true.
3. I want to get Android updates for security and such, will a small update cause unroot? (I will also upgrade to Android 6.0 if/when its available for the S5 and I know upgrade will unroot)
If there is a chance of tripping Knox I will not root. I also want to be able to return the phone back to exact stock software, settings and flags as before it was rooted if I choose to.

Don't root!!
I've got the same problem as you brother. I've got the same phone specs. I think we are out of luck right now. Attempting anything is probably a really bad idea.
But I second this call for help, I'm curious to know if there is anything that can be done.
@Woogoo as of now you can't root the AT&T S5 latest OS so don't try...
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.

I'm looking to root my phone, but I have a few questions. I just want to make sure I'm using a method that will work for my phone as I seem to have an uncommon version. I'm on a small carrier, and I'm questioning how I can root without tripping KNOX. Every guide I've found seems to indicate there are questions about rooting my phone. My build version also never shows up on any of the guides as a supported build.
Relevant information:
Galaxy S6
Model: SM-G920R6
Android Version: 5.0.2
Baseband Version: G920R6WWU2AOF2
KNOX version: 2.4
Anyone able to point me to a root that will work, and not trigger KNOX? Any guides are welcome as well!
As far as I know there isnt a way to root without triggering knox , and if you want to root you could probly find a guide quite eaisly , if its that you want to still be able to use knox secured apps etc use magisk

I tried PingPong. It notified me that it could not complete (I assume because I have an unsupported version).

Will Android Pay still work with magisk? I'm not familiar with it. I was under the impression that I would be permanently unable to use mobile payment applications if Knox was triggered. Is that wrong?

Yes it will , enable magisk hide and it should work , android pay dosnt use knox , i think samsung pay does but android pay is not effected by knox
Install magisk and it will all be fine
Also for rooting , just flash twrp with odin then flash magisk for root etc
I have a samsung galaxy s6 thats on the way from boost mobile but when I get it I want to have at least some root but without tripping knox or voiding my warranty. I want to get a new rom , get root access on my phone, keep my carrier and samsung updates coming, install a custom recovery, use xposed framework, and have a way to get all android updates up until the next version after android 8.x. Is there a way to make this happen.
You can't.
