Hi everyone, as the title of the article states. How do I root my SGS 6 Edge. I am new with using an android. I came from the Iphone scene and was used to Jailbreaking Apples. Does anyone have a step by step or could tell me I am currently on 6.0.1 update. Thank you in advance!!
Update: Reason for rooting is because I want to be able to get rid of all the bloatware that is added onto this phone and have the unlimited hotspot etc..
bump
can anyone give a step by step?

Does anyone have a link or know where I can get the Nexus S software before Sprint released their latest update? I thought it was Jelly Bean update as most of Sprint users have been waiting on, only to find out it was a Sprint " update"
Without going into much detail, I would like to go back to the software it was when the Nexus launched.
I don't have root access, nor do I want root access at this time since I use Google Wallet and don't want to risk my personal data
Does someone have the Samsung software I could download? Perhaps I could root flash back, then unroot?
Any help would be appreciate as I have searched and not finding any real answers. If you have some info please message me or post here.
Thanks

Hi, I have a Sprint Note Edge running Android 4.4.4 and I have previously rooted it in the past.
However, I'm not 100% sure what I did to root it as I did this back in February and I have since to do
anything else root related since then.
Model number is SM-N915P.
I have root currently, and its running android 4.4.4
I want to, if possible, update to 5.1. And I want to make sure I still have root.
Can someone kind of guide me along? Its been a while and I'm not sure where to start.
Links to threads/etc would be appreciated.
Much thanks in advance.
Do not update to 5.1 Lots of people complaining about it right now. And if you do update, you cannot downgrade ever

Okay. I appreciate it. I'll hold out.
Right now my phone is running kind of slow though. Is there anything you'd suggest to speed it up?
For example it hangs sometimes when going to the camera app and switching to the gallery.
Hello friends from XDA. I used to be an avid android user for many years starting with the release of the G1 and have had many devices and have a lot of experience as a flash whore over the years. Got in the hot tub a couple years ago and fried one of my phones and have been using an iphone ever since. I got my hands on a gs6 and would like to switch over but it needs to be unlocked.
Model: SM-G920A
Badeband G920AUCS5DPI1
Build: MMB29K G920AUCS5DPI1
So i need to know the best/easiest way to root AND unlock this fella. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Rooting can be done by using cf-autoroot, there's an official thread in the original development forum which contains instructions. Now about unlock, whereas previous s series phones could be network unlocked via root methods, the s6 cannot, you will need to use a paid method for this.
Well I cant find that model on the cf-autoroot forum. From what I can tell the ATT version (SM-g920A) has a locked bootloader? Anyone know how to unlock bootloader or if there is another way that works? I posted on the cf-autoroot forum and am still awaiting a response. Thanks for the help in advance!

Ah gosh that's right, I did a little research before in this as there was another user with this query, I'm sorry to say that 6.0.1 on your variant can't be rooted, the only root methods ever available was for the lollipop software version, there's no way to downgrade either as far as I know.
Hi guys & girls,
Another new noob making his first critical question, here's the low down. OK I have a Nexus 7 running 5.1.1 Lollipop, (WISH I WOULD HAVE NEVER UPGRADED TO LOLLIPOP FROM KITKAT) but anyway, I have tried several ways of rooting it. TowelRoot, KingoRoot, Nexus Root Tool Kit (NRK), etc...
I know I can downgrade back to a later version of my KittyKat. How ever I was trying to avoid that method (if it can be helped). My Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900A it gave me a bit of trouble rooting it on behalf of it being an AT&T version. So enough yacking.. Here's my question, and any answer I will appreciate. I would like to know if there is an OFFICIAL way to root the Nexus 7? Or any late releases that anyone knows about, for rooting the Nexus 7 5.1.1 Lollipop, eather If it's a one-click method or PC method? I'd be happy with a PC method (if it can be helped). I'd rather a easy one-click method, we love those methods.
Thanks for any & all answers,

Hey Again,
As I see no one was able to find a way to Help me Root my "N7", I was able to do research and upgrade my own CPU (My Brain) and get the job done myself and even managed to unlock the bootloader, on my own as well. Thanks for those who tryed. But it was a win, win for me bc I am now well advanced in the computer world.:good:
So if anyone else has this similar issue I will be delighted to help.
Thanks
Hi
I just purchased a brand new G930A, at a very good price I might add, and got it running on T Mobile. The firmware is old (6.0.1) and has had no security updates in a while. No updates seem to be available from ATT. I would like to root it and update everything to T Mobile (7.x.x) standard. I am not really looking for a custom rom unless there is a real benefit. Can someone direct me to a good, tried and true, step by step method for getting this done? All the way from unlocking, and rooting to flashing a rom. Just Foolproof is good enough, it doesn't need to be Damn Foolproof. Last phone I rooted (Droid Maxx) was about 5 years ago so I need some re-education. A link to a good thread would really help.
Thanks
John
