Hello there, i just purchased a second hand At & t network unlocked galaxy s6 and want to root and install custom rom like noble rom etc in it because i am tired of At & t bloatware. so i want to know that how i can install it? is there any issues of bootloader locked etc? currently i am on lollipop 5.1.1 and software is up to date.... in odin menu it says
system status: custom
Reactivation lock: Off
knox warranty: 0 (0*0000)
I want a summarized instructions which i couldn't find anywhere else... so posted here.. urgent help is much appreciated
AFAIK, the AT&T variant (920A) has a locked bootloader and therefore you cannot install a custom recovery image (like TWRP) to traditionally install custom ROMs. You may be able to install a ROM via Flashfire once you root via Pingpong, as folks in the Xstre ROM thread have reported they could indeed install that ROM (provided you're already on MM and have the MM bootloader/radio on the phone). I actually just returned a 920A for a 920I for this exact reason.
You may also find success in the "Samsung Debloater" tool, search for that - I used this on an AT&T Note 4 about a year ago and it worked well to disable the carrier bloat.

I want to use this awesome ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
I need to install TWRP. When I first got the phone, I learned that this was not possible with AT&T due to a locked bootloader. This still the case? I have been searching and I haven't found any tutorials or youtube videos specifically for AT&T Galaxy s6 -- is it the same process? I'm currently running Android 5.0.1 and I flashed a ROM with Flashfire (Ultra Light 1.8 by Rayman360) -- it's a great ROM but you can't do much since it's basically a de-bloat stock.
Can someone point me in the right direction for installing TWRP on the AT&T Galaxy s6?
I suspect I will need to do a full wipe here and then re-root with a different method.
I am familiar with Odin and TWRP, I have been using custom ROMs for years now.
I still think its not possible due to locked boot loader

I've researched multiple rooting tutorials and have found a lot of guides based on the auto-root file from www(.)autoroot.chainfire(.)eu
However, I still do not know what to do with this. From my research I found out that there is a possibility that the bootloader is locked and that is the reason I am scared, if I brick this phone I will not have a phone for another 2 years. If I flash a new clear android 7.0.0 stock for the S6 without the O2 addon bloatware with the bootloader locked it will brick my phone since this is some sort of security feature.
What I want from my S6:
- VERY good security, I will be banking on it alot, using android pay, etc so I need it to basically be hack-proof etc. Im not going to install apps like lucky patcher which are not from the play store.
- A new clean stock version of Android 7.0.0 without so many O2 apps that I cannot uninstall.
- Root access to remove certain system services and increase my battery life
I am a previous root user, 1 year ago being on my rooted S3 which I rooted using KingoRoot with one click. Now I come back year later to a new phone 3 generations down with things like the locked bootloader and KNOX. Could anyone explain what I can do at this point?
Phone specification essentials:
Name: Samsung Galaxy S6 O2/EU
Model Number: SM-G920F
Build Number: G920FXXU5EQE5
Android Version: 7.0
Knox Version: 2.7.1
The device still has a simlock, and I was told that the sim lock is installed in the ROM. So if I were to flash Im assuming the simlock would be removed however I still have a pending order for the unlock code coming in 7 days.
Try with a TWRP and a Magisk' - SuperSU it's a will be less-stable for now' (Seriously who are be use at This for now?)
Addition advantage it's a doesn't Permissives of a Magisk (Still "Enforced")
Hey Guys,
i'm owning an Galaxy S7 (G930F) and it's have a Vodafone Brand(Germany), (boot logo and some apps from Vodafone).
I'm really pissed of the update schedule from Samsung, and want a root to, so i decided to install a custom Rom.
But my latest custom rom phone was some years ago ( old Samsung GT 8150 Galaxy W) I think since it have changed many
I want a ROM that have an auto updater, i had that on the old GT 8150, when an update was ready, it was a easy way to install.
Its possible that knox will not be triggered?
Which Version of Rom can i install? I had some issues with my 8150, when i started testing some ROMs, some Roms had the boot bug, and then i tried to install the Stock ROM, but then was no able to boot.
On this time this Infos says me S7.
Android 7.0

Sorry for that bad english,
Thanks and regards,

Custom ROMs require unlocking the bootloader, which triggers knox.
is there a simple way to get root on my S7 then?

Go read some threads before asking questions answered multiple times in multiple threads.
I'm new to posting to these forums, so forgive me if i don't add the right tags or do something right...
Anyway, I was given a TMobile Galaxy S6 as a hand-me-down phone from my family, and wanted to know what was the best way to root the device. I don't really care if i trip Knox, but i'd like it to be unnoticeable, and i'd love to not trip it at all, if possible. I don't want to have an "Unlocked" sign everytime i bootup. I want to be able to run Vanilla Oreo (or close to it) without touchwiz as the phone has been getting laggy, and since i already have another Rooted Device, it's not laggy when running Resurrection Remix, which i'll probably end up running that ROM on this phone as well. I've heard the TMobile version has a Bootloader unlock, but i'm not sure how to go about doing that without bricking the device. The reason i'm asking is because the last Samsung device i had, a Galaxy S5, was bricked for a number of months before i was able to flash stock again using a SD Card, and i don't want to have to go through that again with this phone. Should i just follow this tutorial? or is there a better way to flash without tripping Knox? I know how to root & BL Unlock, i've done it on a number of close-to-stock devices, but Samsung devices are a whole 'nother world of trouble that i don't even know how to deal with.

Hi All
I had and still have the latest software for SM-G930F
I followed a tutorial to root my s7 but then realised that root does not work properly on android 8.0.0
I would love some help to un-root my s7.
Baseband version
G930FXXS7ESL5
Build Number

I have used odin to re flash original firmware but it still says the device is rooted.
like Samsung pass comes up this device is rooted so this option is unavailable.
i used sm-g930f cf-auto root, magic-disk and no-verify-opt-encrypt 6.1 and have twrp 3.3.1.0-herolte
it will only let me re-flash android 8.0.0 original firmware witch i though would wipe the the phone completely and un-root but i was most certainly wrong.
i wold love my s7 back on android 7.0 or below so that i can have a custom rom installed.
If you need more info let me know and thanks i advance to all the developers, moderators and users.
thanks
John
Hey there, since you have twrp already installed you could look into some of the custom roms if you want theres even Pie roms with OneUi avaliable, i have almost no experience with cf autoroot but if you want to completely get rid of previous system files before flashing the firmware select the option 'nand erase' in odin and make sure you fill every file to its respective field.
I would suggest against using 'plz' 'pls' in the title or your thread because that will most likely get you ignored, feel free to give me an update if that worked for you!
