I am currently on 5.1.1 stock with rooted and twrp installed. After flashing 6.0.1 official ROM via Odin will I retain ROOT and TWRP?
If not then how can i get rooted and twrp installed?
Thanks in advance.

Do so at your own risk.. flashing official firmware will wipe root.

Hey, I want to flash twrp and unikernel on my 5.1.1 BOFJ galaxy s6 g920f but I don't know really how, can I flash twrp without root and then flash Unikernel with twrp?
Someone used this and can explain me how?
I believe there are plenty of posts of how to do it.
First unlock bootloader on 5.1.1. Then the order doesn't pretty matter much. Get latest TWRP on their official hompage (tar) and unikernel and flash them through ODIN.
I did first Unikernel and after TWRP, worked just fine.
You don't even need TWRP, just flash or OTA to 5.1.1 and then flash a new kernel into the phone and you're done.
Is there a faster way to update the firmware without flashing KK, rooting and then reflashing the prerooted new firmware? Is this possible without loss of data?
Yes, just flash a lollipop FTF using flashtool.
If you want to keep root, just install recovery and flash a pre-rooted lollipop zip.
If you are currently not rooted and want root after update then you need to downgrade, root, install recovery and flash a pre-rooted lollipop zip
thanks!
Hi
So, i'm going to root my S6 and flash a custom rom, got 1 question:
Reading the CF-AutoRoot page, it mentions something about battery drain because of wakelocks after rooting, and that i need to flash an update zip file to fix it.
Do i still need to do that after rooting ? Or has it been already fixed and thus i can just root and flash the rom i want ?
Thanks <3
No one?
CF-auto root doesn't work on firmware 5.1.1 you will have to flash unikernel found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...d-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395 using Odin then flash https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/ custom recovery using flashify (found in the playstore) and you will be rooted with a custom recovery and ready to flash a custom rom
You can try this

Hello,
I just installed the 5.1.1 (G920FXXU2POGJ) Android version to my S6 (SM-G920F). Is there anyway (tripping or not tripping the knox - I already tripped the knox when installed a TWRP recovery) to get a root access?
I tried with CF-Auto-Root but it did not work.
Any solution?
Flash a custom kernal via TWRP.
But you posted this question in the wrong section bro.

cf-autoroot doesn't work for 5.1.1 firmware
For rooting G920F with 5.1.1 :
1. Download Odin3_v3.10.6.zip
2. Download twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img.tar
3. Download S6-UniKernel_v6-0001-ODIN.tar
Go to download mod and use with Odin for root (S6-UniKernel_v6-0001-ODIN.tar) and install custom recovery mode(twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img.tar).
I have a Galaxy S5 and it's on 5.0.1 Stock not rooted or Custom recovery. I want to install Blisspop 6.0.1. How would I go about doing this? Is it ok to install the 6.0.1 OTA and still be able to root and install custom recovery?
Edit: Ended up just OTA. Mod delete thread please??
It's probably easiest to update OTA, since it will preserve your apps, data, & settings. I wrote a step-by-step tutorial on how to update OTA to 6.0.1, install a custom recovery, and root. Here you go...

I believe blisspop is still based on 5 firmware. If you update you'll just have to go back to OK4 firmware to run it.
