Hi all ok my query may be a quick one to answer. Tried my best researching this forum but their is so many different roots for your phone dont know which are good and which arn't.
Basically at this stage not interested in customer roms as my phone is fairly new and will plan to try some roms later on. At this moment in time i just need simple root access as im wanting to play emulators and the controllers connected wont connect as i dont have root access. I would like it rooted but to kep on the same stock rom and dont want the knox to be affected.
Which is the best, safest most successful way to just root the s6? and as always can it be reverted at any time? Many thanks

As of now there is no method available which could root your phone without tripping knox (except for 5.0.2),

CF-AutoRoot is probably the best way to go. It does most of the work for you. The phone can be unrooted, I guess, but KNOX will >always< be tripped
And I really wouldn't bother waiting around for a method to be developed that doesn't trip KNOX... People aren't hopeful and there doesn't seem to be much of an appetite from developers to create a method either
Thanks for the response, so what exactly will go wrong or happen if the KNOX is tripped? who do it connect to? and can it be un tripped if root access is removed? Just weighing up my options as im about 4 months into this s6 contract with EE
Thanks again.

There's NO WAY to untrip Knox for Exynos 7420 devices -for now-
If the KNOX tripped, you just can't use Samsung Pay and if you're rooted, you can't get OTA. If you reflash your device with Smart Switch, you'll get the OTA support again but there's no way to get the Samsung Pay support back.

This mobile was shipped with Android 4.2.2, if I have understood things correctly I should NOT update this to Android 4.3 because of the new ''samsung security thing, KNOX or something)?
I should just rot, install recovery and flash 4.3 roms? Not upgrading first?

Up to you, but some 4.2.2 versions have KNOX bootloader so let us know your software version to see if you already have it. You can update and void knox if you don't care about using it or the warranty implications, which are unclear at best at the moment.
I rooted 4.2.2 with knox and installed a Google Edition ROM no hassle, working great, not looking back. I don't want knox, and I don't care about the warranty though!

Looks like that was the last Knox-free version! Open in download mode (volume up and power and home) just to be sure there is no Knox 0x0 in there, but afaik you're lucky and don't have it!

Lucky you! Keep it that way I reckon, there are knox free roms. I'm a bit jealous. Once I rooted all I got was that damn security warning popping up all the time. Android is starting to converge with iOS as time goes by. The OEMs should not be allowed this kind of control, and the network carriers should be given a choice: sell the device as is, or don't.
Google kowtowing all the time is sickening and then the OEM/network clamp down more and more on the dev community.
Need a root file for my s6
dont know if this stuff is important as its my first time rooting so,
my Baseband Version is: G920FXXU2POGN,
and my Build Number is LMY47X.G920FXXU2POGN,
any help would be greatly appreciated
Not advisable as you will trip knox. No root is available still for 5.1.1 without tripping knox.

I came across this video, How to Root Galaxy S6/S6 Edge on Android 5.1.1!(sorry I tried to post the link but because I'm a junior member it wont let me) would this work or should I just wait until there is a proper root for 5.1.1?
Stick with stock 5.1.1, enjoy your S6 as it is and wait for the proper S6 root for 5.1.1 which does not trip knox.
if u really need a root for 5.1.1 there is a kernel with auto root .... i tried it and it works fine but it ((((trips knox!!!!!!!!!)))), if u don't know know why u should root ,u better stick to official stock rom without rooting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...d-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395
Just wondering if I'm able to root my Galaxy S6 (It's on 5.1.1 and software is up to date which may make it difficult).
I first tried Kingo Root (As that worked on all of my previous galaxy phones) but had no luck. I've tried pingpong root app but that also didn't work.
I'm not worried about disabling/tripping Samsung KNOX or Samsung Pay.
Here's some of my phone specs if it helps

Hopefully someone can give me a hand, thanks!

Thanks for the reply! Is Unikernel the EXACT same as the original S6 OS but just rooted? (and also not needing to do anything to get things working again such as wifi, network etc... like in some other dodgy roms).
And would you have a link please?
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this so please forgive my ignorance.
I've been looking everywhere for a root solution for my Gal S6 Edge + (ATT) and haven't even found people complaining they cant find anything for my build.
I'm trying to find a compatible root that wont disable or trip KNOX or brick my phone due to ATT iron grip.
Can anyone point me in the right direction; I've been to all the normal places one would look.
Is it so that there isn't a root solution out yet?
I'm on

Kernal Verion 3.10.61-5554916 / Sun Aug 30

Baseband: G928AuCU1A0H5
KNOX 2.5
I can't be the only one with this phone who wants to root; I just want verification that there isn't anything out yet.
I can't stand the ATT apps that auto update even when I tell them not too, I want control of my OWN phone I paid in full for.
Thanks again

There is no root available for our G928A (S6 Edge+) device. With the new update patching the Stagefright exploit, I highly doubt that there will be root for Edge+ on AT&T. Furthermore, if you can't find root chances are that there is no root. You're not the only one that wants root, we all want root for our devices. You can either wait for a solution to come about, deal without root, and/or return the phone and get a phone that has root access.
Thank you for the clarification.
I'll have to wait and keep my fingers crossed.
It's great to buy your own devices and still be controlled by your carrier isn't it..

There won't be root for that device. Sell it before you miss the big boat on pricing and get the international version that has root.
