I suggest you to use this guide for flashing MM on S6, it's really good! After you're done, use this file to root your phone through Odin.
i am already on MM 6.0.1

I want to install TWRP then flash Chainfire Super SU. But a lot of people are experiencing bootloops after flashing TWRP so I want a method that won't cause bootloops. I have slow Internet and downloading official ROM to solve a soft brick will be quite a hassle
Hi,
I try to figured out for any infomration but without success. Is there some news for having root &TWRP for MM 6.0.1 without loosing warranty and tripping Knox?
Thanks to everyone.

How are you trying to root? the best way is to flash root again is by using TWRP. Good luck. :fingers-crossed: The TWRP thread has methods on how to do this.

I made the error of upgrading to 5.1.1 (S6 on EE) before rooting and now I understand Ping Pong won't work?
So can someone suggest the easiest way to root? I'd rather not trip knox but I will if I need to.
I saw a post about rooting without tripping knox but it lost the fingerprint scanner and I'd rather not lose any functionality.
Thanks!
I have the same question. I don't need samsung pay, but I don't want to broke the fingerprint sensor.

Flashing TWRP through Odin is really easy:
Run Odin
put your phone in d/l mode and connect it
choose the TWRP file to flash
press start
After that, you have got a custom recovery menu from where you can install a clean ROM or a custom kernel.
Literallly, the whole procedure takes just 2 clicks in Odin and 1 Minute.
Make sure you use the latest version of both Odin and TWRP and you're fine; i reinstalled some Samsung apps and features like fingerprint scanner; working flawless.

I don't know what COH2 means, but they write:
Supported devices
SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 AND S6 EDGE, all variants! (except US Cellular, Verizon and Sprint S6 and S6 Edge)

So i think it should work...

Does it "trip" KNOX?
Edit: Yep, it does for those wondering.
The way I get root is to flash via Odin, Unikernel then you will have root on your stock rom. If you then want a custom recovery I use Flashify from the playstore to flash twrp recovery, it's so easy and so quick and works on firmware 5.0.2 and the latest 5.1.1
Thanks for the advice all, will this wipe all my data during the process?

No but it will trip knox.
Thanks to all, the ODIN method worked a treat, very easy and quick and didn't lose any of my data.
Coming back to this, I just noticed that this method of root has changed SELinux to permissive. Why is that? I'm not too up on these things but doesn't that mean it is less protected from malware?
I am caught in a bootloop after attempting to root using the following process.
Using Odin3 v3.10.6, I flashed the following:
n915t-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.1(1128).tar - THIS MAY HAVE BEEN AN ERROR. SHOULD I HAVE USED "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltetmo.img.tar"
I did a full backup to my phone's external SD card from cwm-recovery-6.0.5.1.
I then flashed both the files below without rebooting in between. I did not wipe any cache or data.
Emotion-TW-nightly-r23-RC1-SM-N915T
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46
The phone locked when I rebooted and would not move past the first black screen.
I pulled the battery and rebooted to recovery.
I did a restore of my backup that appeared to complete successfully.
I got a message asking to root the phone. I said yes, then rebooted.
Now stuck in a bootloop.
Hoping I can recover from this?
Root only with extra Kernel
When recovery asks to install root at the end, hit no. Thats your issue. You already installed supersu, so you've already got root. Personally I prefer stock kernel, with the latest beta supersu, you can still get root. With Universal init.d app, you can still get init.d support. With a custom build of xposed for Samsung lollipop, you can still get xposed. There's even a special version of viper audio. So yeah all you lose is the overclock ability.
Thank you. I ended up reflashing the firmware and got it working again. I'm still in the same situation, without root. My goal is to install a custom rom but I'm concerned about trying The Root process again. I read that a security patch was done in November for lollipop. Could that have impacted my ability to root and cause me to get into a boot loop? Wondering if there is a more current root method than the one I used.

There have been reports that the emotion r23 kernel is finicky, some work soem dont. Try another kernel or older version. That could be toir problem.

Hey guys,
Got a Z3 with locked BL, decided recently I wanted to root the phone so followed the downgrade method, installed TWRP, installed 6.0.1 using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/stock-marshmallow-6-0-1-build-23-5-0-t3357509
That should have rooted the device and installed MM. MM seems to work ok but ES file explorer says there is no root. Also my TWRP recovery isn't working due to this problem (probably): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66232031&postcount=328
I'm a bit new to this but I can't seem to fix the TWRP problem without root access and I can't get root access without a custom recovery? I have Flashtool and tried to follow this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66232031&postcount=328
But I'm not sure how I'm meant to flash the required zips. Any help would be much appreciated, step by step would be a bonus xoxo

Flashed recroot before reboot?
Take a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6603-5-0-2-flashable-stock-23-1-0-690-t3056361
Thanks, presuming I'd need to downgrade and root again. Trying to avoid that if possible...

I have Galaxy S6 (920F) with Android Nougat.
I have managed to install TWRP Recovery on my device and it is allowing me to install .zip files. But my phone is Not ROOTED.
So my question is,
If I flash .zip(s) now that are made for my device, will it be installed successfully?
or my device will stuck on bootloop?
Well, if you are flashing some files into directories that don't require root to access, it will work.
But lets say you want to flash ported system app (like message app). It will not work, since it requires flashing into \system and that directory requires root to be accessed and modified. :good:
