I just got this tablet and I made the assumption rooting wouldn't be an issue and now i'm shocked that it appears it can't be rooted. Is this true? I searched and found a lot of older thread but seeing if something new or changed?

Currently 4.4 can be rooted but no luck yet with 5.1
its the only reason I haven't updated myself. (I'm on 4.4.2)
Any Update on the SM-P905V 5.1.1 Root?
Rooted on 5.1.1

How?
Was this answered? I want to root and clear out "miscellaneous files"
Has anyone gotten root and custom recovery on this yet

Why can't we flash the D6603 pre-rooted XZDR 5.1.1 Rom on a rooted/recovery D6616? I thought the only thing stopping us before was that we did not have root or a custom recovery on the 6616, so we could not do it without losing DRM keys. Has that changed or not?
Because bricking your phone isn't fun
Right, I understand that there are risks involved. What I am trying to understand is what in particular creates those risks. Could you explain a little further why flashing a D6603 zip would brick the D6616?
I am curious about this as well.
I just recently got my Z3, which I had to unlock since I use AT&T. I now want to root and put 5.1 on it, but it seems like the T-Mobile one is so locked down. As far as I know about DRM keys I don't really care about them since I am not planning on using any Sony software (except maybe the camera software) If I could just put 5.1 on it, with a camera app that shoots RAW I would be happy.
What version do you have? We have root for the D6616 but that won't help us get 5.1 from what I can see. Best bet is to get the D6603 if that is what is most important to you.

I have the D6616.... I guess I don't care so much about 5.1 as I do getting the best battery life possible. But it looks like custom roms are not available since the boatloader is locked?

That's correct - we're limited to modifications of stock. But that makes me wonder why 5.1.1 wouldn't work.

I've been looking for a 5.1.1 for the D6616..... Prerooted.... No one has this yet? I am on 4.4.4 stock rooted ROM, and I have a flashable 5.0.1, but I see no reason to not want 5.1.1, so why do you say root on 5.1.1 isn't doable?

It's not root that's not doable. There exist 5.1.1 prerooted zips for D6603. The issue is that 5.1.1 for the D6616 has not been released yet, hence it has not not been rooted.

Ah, understood now. Thanks for clarifying.
just got the update to 5.1.1, came factory installed 0F1 so i could never root, will the methods already out for 5.1.1 root work for the verizon variants?
Already a thread about this. Thank you though.
To actually answer your question...unfortunately there's not a way to root our 5.1.1 update yet. Hopefully soon!
Should I really update my S6 (actually on 5.0.1 ) to 5.1? If yes, I want to know if I can still root it? What is the new features? What about battery life?
How can I update without losing data / application and keeping the apps order etc.. ?
PS: Can I have xPosed on 5.1?
How can you ask so stupid question?
Of course, less bugs, glitches, more features
and ye you can root, install xposed and keep apps if you install via ota
-.-
How to install via ota ? My device is rooted :/

Its not a stupid question - for one a changelog would be helpful. Lastly, its not unheard of for an upgrade to introduce bugs/glitches that are worse than those in the previous firmware.

I'm not saying that it does have more issues, I'm saying that it is possible and that it is also possible that Touchwiz has issues with 5.1.1 that are not present with 5.0.1. The only way to find out whether that is true is to try the update for yourself or to ask someone who has updated.

But i am also asking how to update without losing data. I can not update by OTA because my device is rooted
I'm kind of lost, is there anyway to get xposed currently? I'm rooted using version 5.0.2. Sorry for the noob question
Nope never worked for 5.0.2

The only one I think there is is from wanam. And it's for deodexed rooted 5.1 firmware. Since no root for Verizon Galaxy S6 5.1 you won't be able to use it.
I currently have a shield tablet Y01 ,its on stock Nougat (5.1 ota update). not rooted or bootloader unlocked
Previous owner did the recall and new tablet will be here in 3-4 weeks , so tablet is currently working
What can I do to make sure this isnt killed ?
Need a n00b guide really as havent flashed anything since a htc desire
no one ??
Root, then use a root explorer to delete TegraOTA.apk.
Root guide is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2399737
TegraOTA guide is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/kill-kill-switch-shield-tablet-xx-t3179489
Alternatively, you can flash any custom ROM. They will prevent the tablet from updating as well.
So... The old killswitch-killer still works on Nougat? I could flash the nvidia stock, delete the TegraOTA.apk and go on with the newest official nvidia version?

Yup, did it successfully yesterday also. After stumbling onto this thread, i was encouraged enough... Went pretty smooth.
BTW, newest FullOTA (WiFi) is available directly from nvidia servers, as An Droid mentions here: http://ota-downloads.nvidia.com/ota...-full_ota-1928188_850.6612.20170219210839.zip
Hello,
Sorry for up this last thread, but I'm in the same position that the OP.
I have a pyro tablet on stock Nougat (the original owner did the recall) and it is still working (for 3 weeks). Is the kill switch disallowed for Nougat?
Should I unlock the bootloader and root it for remove the TegraOTA?
Thank you!
Yes.

Second. There is a kill switch thread in general.

Thank you, even for the newest Android versions, I understand. I will try to do all the steps without WiFi, but all seems to be ok until now
