Hey, I'm new to this rooting stuff with Androids (I'm familiar with jailbreaking on iPhones though, so I am aware of the risks) and I'm not exactly sure which software would best fit me. I would like something that could change some of the things that I can't change without rooting with Android 6.0.1 like the lockscreen settings (like being able to access the apps I want WITHOUT having to unlock the phone). But I'm not even sure what software I need in order to get started nor what to do next.
And to note, I have a Galaxy S6 Edge Sprint variant (SM-G925P), running the latest build of Android 6.0.1. I already have Odin3 3.0 and the latest Xposed downloaded and installed.

Okay so I've tried rooting my galaxy s4 multiple times, and none have worked. I have a mac and verizon is my carrier, and the software on my phone is 4.3 jellybean. for whatever reason my phone never properly roots and at most it will just download superuser, which in the end tells me can't work. someone please help!!
samsung 4.3 version is come with knox feature that will block all app to access the root.
this also happened to me when i try to root my note 2 a couple days ago.
tried a lot of method on google to disable that knox but still failed.
the last attempt that i do is completely install a knox free custom rom and it's work very good until now, and you may try it.
you may search the custom rom for your s4 on this forum and choose the most suitable for you
How on earth can he install a custom rom if he doesn't have root access?

You need to find your baseband version and find a root method that is appropriate for the version you are running. Not every (and rarely any) root methods work for more than one baseband version on the Verizon S4. Knox will not stop you from rooting your phone.

Hello xda forum. I currently have a samsung galaxy s6 that has been rooted. I actually tripped Knox in the process by using TWRP. and I was wondering when do I have to update before my apps stop working because of my android version being too low? I was reading online that Android 6.0 marshmallow was going to be released in the fall so I'm wondering if I'm going to have to update to that when it comes out. And how do I update when I'm rooted on 5.0.2 I can't use an OTA update because I tried going into the settings and I tried doing a software update in there but its not letting me so how am I supposed to update my phone to marshmallow 6.0? I'm from Canada and our cell phone plans last two years so if I can go without updating for two years I will be happy. can somebody please reply saying what I should do?

2 years will be fine. No offence mate but keep your threads to a minimum for similar questions. This easily could have been dealt with in your other post

Hi, I am relatively new at working with mobile devices. I understand that at one point the beta version for Android M was available for a short period of time but only in the UK. If you got it in the US, it was limited to a few select carriers, and Verizon was not one of them.
I am trying to install Android 6.0 Beta on my G920V. Here are the things I have done:
The Galaxy Care Method: Download Galaxy Care APK and install it. This did not work for me becasue the app is not available for the G920V.
Basically, I would like to know:
Where I can find an Android M ROM for G920V
How to install that ROM on my device
Will flashing my ROM to a different Android version cause data loss? (Is it super important to back up my data?)
I appreciate any help I can get.
You cannot do this on a VZW s6. Sorry

I'm looking for advice on a phone to get to root. I'm new to rooting but I'd like to run xposed framework and learn more about it.
I've seen Motorola's website offering a way to unlock bootloaders for certain phones for developers. Would that be a good route to take? Does that allow me to easily root the phone?
Are there other, better options?
Thanks for all the help!

Unlock your bootloader and install twrp recovery, than flash superSU and or Xposed framework

Hello
I just received my V10, bought from swappa, and it has 5.1.1 on it. I see that there is no way to root MM, so we have to decide on LP rooted or MM unrooted, right?
If I want to root LP, can you point me to the thread? Also, I shouldn't accept the MM update once I activate the phone, right?

It all depends on what you desire. Some people (like me) can't live without root. Rooting unlocks the full potential and possibilities for the device. Sticking with LP rooted seems like a better choice to me. Also I've seen some people complaining about the battery life on MM as compared to LP.
Here's the link for root:

Thank you affangta. Of course i want root. Who doesn't? My question was more technical than theoretical, like your answer.
My phone forced the upgrade to MM, and thus I'm now stuck like many others; i had no way of stopping the software upgrade right after I activated the phone.
Oh well

Unfortunately, when I bought the phone MM update was already installed in it. Hence, I'm in the same situation as you. What I wouldn't give to go back to LP and root the device
Hey all! Good news! A 9-year-old bug called the "Dirty Cow" exploit still exists in the Linux/Android kernel can easily grant root on any Android phone!!! See the video below.
http://www.xda-developers.com/9-year...on-of-android/
So there's another bug to exploit for root and even possibly unlocking the bootloader! The bug has been fixed recently in Linux but hasn't been rolled into Android yet. If anyone can get this working on my AT&T LG V10 (running Marshmallow) I'll give a reward of $50! Plus you'll be my hero! Now get crackin!
