Hello. I want to root my S6. It's firmware is 6.0.1. I hear there is an option that trips the KNOX on 6.0.1., so if I root it on 6.0.1., I want to make sure I do it absolutely correctly, so I don't mess anything up, because you know as well as me that if the KNOX is tripped and the phone is bricked, you're outa luck with Samsung. So is there a guide for any sort of newbies on how to do this?
Awhile back, I rooted it on 5.0.2., and wanted to update it, so I used Odin to restore my phone. I used pingpongroot, so the the KNOX was left intact. That said, does anyone know if I can downgrade to 5.0.2. and root without tripping the KNOX? Pretty sure I have old 5.0.2. files around from when I restored my phone the first time.
Also, does anyone know if a rooted phone with a tripped KNOX fetches less than a normal phone when you are selling it. I may sell this in the future, probably to Verizon. If I wipe and restore everything with Odin before selling, will they care about the voided warranty?
There is currently no way to root a Verizon s6 on version 6 and once on version 6 there's no way to downgrade to 5.0.2.

Oh gotcha! I was under the impression that there was a root available for the S6 6.0.1. Is Verizon not supported?

At this point I don't really care if I trip Knox or not. Just need the root. I've brought my phone back from many many soft bricks and a few hard bricks <not fun.
It is Verizon. They do not care about you.
I'm on 5.0.2. May I know which methods to use to root my G920V?

Hey guys...i apologize if this has been discussed already!
I am rooted on OC3 with KNOX intact. Is there currently a way to upgrade to OG5 while keeping root and not tripping KNOX?
rooted OC3 seems pretty good so far and I don't want to trip KNOX because I am REALLY am interested in using Samsung Pay.
so far the updates have not seemed to be anything major. However, 5.1.1 + the Stagefright fix in the most recent update would be nice to have.
Is everyone just waiting until the Samsung Pay update?
thanks!

Samsung Pay. nope not for Verizon S6.
side rant: can't encrypt and use samsung pay either. that always makes consumers happy, be more restrictive with less features than the competition.
My question is simple, I was researching a lot, in here and google, and I find out that several persons says that this specific model can be rooted tripping knox.
we just need to root this phone, we don't care about warranty or anything, is there a way to rooted?
baseband version is
G920VVRU4BOK7
5.1.1
I saw somebody says there is a way to return to an old android version modifying the tar file.
as I said, we just need the phone rooted, we don't care about warranty or knox.
Thanks everybody for helping us.
There's no way with your build number the last build that could be rooted was oe2.
there is no an option? always is an option. somebody know it

The Verizon is already unlocked for ANY sim card because Verizon no longer sim locks their phones all you need to do is put the sim card you want in the phone and set the APN(Access Point Names) settings correctly. Root has nothing to do with it.
All you need is root. trapa pa pa. All you need is root. trapa papa.

Agreed. It's a con. Probably fishing for marks with a Note 7 who want a rooted Note 5 - I feel the desperation myself as this is my situation. I think I'll move to the Note 4 until the Note 8 is released. It's not like a Pixel XL 128gb is going to show up on the google store anytime soon. I sure wish there was root for the Note 5...

Says the location is Syria. It doesn't take too much imagination to think of a few reasons to not be flirting with a kernel from an unknown source with that as an origin location. Just saying.

That may be true however, @activefan01 did provide the eng kernel for the Verizon variant it just doesn't allow root access outside of the terminal so I'm ok with testing stuff that he provides.

So there's quite a bite of confusion for the canadian SM-G955W variant . Was wondering if anyone can clear some stuff up for me.
Is there a Root method, for the SM-G955W S8+ ... ??
and can u link it if there is...
None of the CF Auto root **** seems to be working . any info would help.
sorry for being a noob...
*UPDATE* , ok so , Threw some research on here and on youtube i have managed to Root the s8+ sm-g955w canadian Rogers variant (rwc)
For all My fellow Canadians , follow this video to a T and it will be easy. ->
Also, Head over to sam mobile. i have linked the SM-G955W S8+ firmware for u , This is your back up , just to be safe, (nothing happend to me all i needed from this firmware package was the CSC an the systme image from the AP file) - >
[url]https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955W/[/URL]
Be sure to Follow EVERYTHING this guy does, Honestly took me 2 hours , to pause every 30 seconds to just make sure over an over that everything was correct, So , with that said, If i need to show proof on my phone that this works here yah go
Root proof SM-G955W canadian variant https://imgur.com/gallery/Tgz4o
Admins please lemme kno if im not supposed to link anything i.e. youtube videos, please delete it, i apologize ahead of time,
with that said, Theres no more confusion , the SM-G955U root method works for SM-G955W (ROGERS)(RWC) carriers, havent tried with bell or not even sure if it matters tbh, .
Cons so far :
1.The phone will not show charging nor charge when it reaches 80 % battery life, (SMALL ISSUE TO ME)
2.And im not sure if the CSC file is whats making my bixby Fudge up. But im going to try to flash the CSC file from (XAC) variant from sammobile. an see if that fixes it, or if someone knows that Bixby is done when you root , please comment so i can include that in the cons, lol
I tried messin around a little. After a few apps. One of them read this
Root https://imgur.com/gallery/ScXsQ
Im going to assume this is the reason bixby wont work either. ??

im not 100 percent about carriers , but the model of the phone is what matters just before you start the rooting process head over to sammobile, an make sure they have the TELUS variant, u need to match your radios, ect. youll see in the video, theres, a files you need to extract an flash to the phone with flashfire, thats the file you need for your carrier or else youll be stuck with a us variant an if that happens i think you may get hit with roaming charges , but other than the carrier bro, im positive u can do this same root method if sammobile has your correct files, btw, u may wanna start the sammobile downloads an hour before u start the root, lol , i made the mistake an the free download speed for sammobile is no more than 15mbps so even with my 1000 mbsp "gigabyte speeds" with rogers it took almost 2 hours, lol gl bro, an enjoy.. p.s folllllow the instuctions to a t bro, pause the video as much as u need, u dont want a paper weight,

Before I root Rogers S8+, has anyone fixed this 80% battery charge and Bixby
I have yet to find anything on the web Google or YouTube on my situation. I have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus SM G955W and I keep getting the update pop up for Oreo. I do not want to upgrade as I'm fine with nougat. I made sure before all of this in developer mode auto updates was off. One day the pop-up came up and I accidentally pressed the update button. I quickly paused it and it's at 2% but it keeps popping up to keep downloading. I have backed up my full phone but I'm looking to find out how to backup the OS so I don't have to use a computer.
I don't what to update at all.
There must be a way to delete or hide this notification.

No fix for the battery yet. As its a Samsung image file. So not sure when or how it will be patched.

It is a very common but completely incorrect notion that rooting will trip Knox. Root has nothing to do with phones turning 0x1. The only thing that can make that happen is flashing and booting an unsigned kernel. Since that is impossible on locked bl it's impossible to trip

I found that my issue was my computer only has usb 3.0. When I ran it through usb 2.0 it worked.
Greetings,
Ive bought J327T1 today and i want to root my device which is on nougat.
You and countless others. Welcome to the unrootable device club.
the Sm-j327u is rootable its the same exact device as the j327t & t1 the only difference with that model is it's bootloader unlocked. the only solution i see is buying the unlocked version of the j3 prime from samsung's website. good thing about buying from samsung is the fact you can choose what company you want and theres none or less bloatware installed.
---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------
also i have the link. i recommend that everyone buys directly from samsung for now on. remember one thing if your device has sm-XXXXU (X's in place of model numbers/letters) (U=unlocked and available on all carriers.) This is the death of unlocked bootloaders on carrier specific devices. the link to the phone is: https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/phones/all-other-phones/galaxy-j3-16gb-2017--unlocked--sm-j327uzkaxaa/

We are working on it stay tuned a new thread will be made in the guides and news section if we are successful.
Update: we are out of ideas. Until someone has an exploit we cannot root this device sorry but you will need to either buy some other device or buy the j327u directly from samsung. It is unlocked and you can flash cf autoroot no problem. The only issue is we do not have twrp for that device yet but it will be soon.

for now its hopeless. samsung really pissed me off by patching the root method not even a month after it was made. sure performance was improved slightly but patching the bootloader is just too much. is having an unlock method too much to ask?

Really surprised me with Samsung to about this. They're normally pretty nice with OEM unlock and etc. Unfortunately this is just a phone they've licked down. They're Galaxy Note series all have root. So it really makes no sense to me why this one is so closed off.
