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.

I'm trying to figure out whether it is possible to root the Galaxy Note 4 without tripping KNOX.
If you need further information or further explaining just ask, thanks.
My screenshots can't be uploaded until later, sorry about that but if any of you need me to type out anything I'll do it.
Hi,
It appears the Note 4 can be rooted using Chainfire's auto root.zip.
Source : note-4/development.
You may wish to check Chainfire's site for information on tripping the counter... if memory serves me correctly, he used to have (S3) a seperate ap to reset the counter.
Good luck !

Thanks I appreciate the response! But I'm trying to prevent the counter that say's something like "Knox Warrant Void 0x0" tripping to 0x1 permanently. Is that possible for the Galaxy Note 4 when rooting?
Thanks!
My best answer is above.

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.
Samsung S6
Build id MMB29K.G920IDVU3EPGG
Model # SM-G920I
Version 6.0.1
Have searched through pingpong/kingroot (only 5.x), chainfire (trips knox) and copious websites/tutorials but seem to find that build number is not supported with any root options.
What options do I have to root the above samsung S6 without tripping knox?
Thks
Any info would be appreciated.

Hi and we to xda-assist,
actually your possibilities are very limited as you running a unsupported firmware, the exploits that ping-pong uses are closed on your firmware and I doubt that downgrading is a alternative because once you have the unsupported firmware version running on your device even the bootloader will be upgraded and you can't downgrade without relatively great risk of seriously damaging the phone, if can be done at all.
So next is probably to decide how important root privileges are to you and if you're willing to sacrifice your warranty for that..
I would nonetheless recommend you to ask in this forum again, may be someone with the same device has a progressive idea and can help you further.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
By the way, it's always a good idea to research the device of interest regarding root & custom roms before you buy it..
Good luck
