Hi,my galaxy s6 is on version 5.1.1 with the G920FXXU2BOGG firmware and I want to root it but don't know the right method.I know that there is already a method on how to root galaxy s6 on 5.1.1 but does it support my firmware?because it is made to root the first 5.1.1 firmware or it supports all galaxy s6 5.1.1 firmwares?

Only way to get root on 5.1.1 thus far is by flashing TWRP recovery.
If you are an amateur to this sort of thing I would highly suggest not to do that.
It will void your warranty permanently by tripping KNOX which can't be "un-tripped"
May I ask why you think you need/want root?
I want to root my galaxy s6 as I see some good custom roms and want to try them.I've had some android phones before like the galaxy note 4,galaxy note 3,htc one m8 and galaxy nexus and rooted them.Just curious on how to root my gs6 with the XXU2BOGG firmware.Does the 5.1.1 root method supports my firmware?

Okay then, as long as you aware of the risks..
Rooting isn't device dependent, it's just software. It's supported on any firmware as long as you have TWRP installed. It just installs SuperSU for you into the system files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/orig-development/twrp-t3080940
Pretty sure TWRP is supported on all models of S6/Edge, they all share the same hardware as each other.
Just flash it with Odin version 3.10.6.
Grab it here ZeroFLTE represents all S6 models except Sprint model which require their own special one (no idea why)
You then follow the Odin install method, making sure you're using 3.10.6. Otherwise more than likely will not work.
After installation of TWRP and then booting into TWRP you will be faced with the "SuperSU is not installed, would you like to install it?"
.. And done.
Er, actually I think that appears when when you go to restart via TWRP menu
But yeah.. best of luck, don't blame me if your phone explodes into a fire ball that goes nuclear and destroys the world.. Or simply bricks it
Edit: Wait are you talking about the Chainfire root method? If you are you may as well not even consider that if you're planning on custom firmware installs.. TWRP is your best bet because it isn't device/firmware specific like CF. And you need TWRP for firmware installs anyway..

Thanks mate!So twrp now supports 5.1.1?
Welcome! TWRP has supported 5.1.1 since the latest version: 2.8.7.1. Change log is in the second post here. Take care and have fun

Thanks again!But I thought the only way to root the gs6 with 5.1.1 is by using the unikernel something?as 5.1.1 is different than 5.0.2.

Assuming it doesn't boot loop with unikernel (all reports say it's fine) then yeah you won't have any dramas with root via TWRP.. Like I said it's just software, the boot loop comes from Samsung being slippery Gypsies and modifying their kernels to basically stop people from modifying system partitions. Hence the need for a custom kernel to bypass that crap. You'll be fine

Sorry for delayed response.. Yes flashing a firmware tar. md5 will reset the system partition back to full stock and replace the recovery, kernel, modem etc.
Just download one corresponding to your device ie.. SM-G92XX where the first X is either a 5 or 0 and the second is the country or region the phone was intended for. I keep the latest firmware for my device and country (not carrier because it has too much bloatware) around at all times to undo any screw ups and start again

What does tripping KNOX do? I like and would like to continue using the Tap & Pay feature from my bank. Is KNOX separate from the secure element the bank uses?
Other than providing a separate environment for work, what else does KNOX provide?
I want to root my note edge SM-N915G (which i recently updated to marshmallow (officially - using system auto update)) using CF auto root. I have been reading tutorials on the internet on how to use it. It says to download the right Files first from the autoroot.chainfire.eu site.
but the one for the SM-N915G (android 6.0.1) has a build number of MMB29M.N915GXXS1DPH3 while the one on my phone is MMB29M.N915GXXU1DPG6. is that ok?
they also have a warning about this:
UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !
is it safe for me to root my phone, or i have to fulfill some prerequisites first?? thanks

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a root method for the Samsung Galaxy j7 Verizon's 2017 edition (SM-J727VPP). Is it even possible? I read that the bootloader for verizon phones are locked so you can't root them. Is this correct?
Thanks.
I'm on the same boat. I love the phone but not sure how to root it. Anyone know if the other root methods work for this phone?
I just bought this phone as well. Anyone dedicated into developing an unlock method for the bootloader and custom recovery would greatly be appreciated.

I haven't tried on this one yet (scared) but with Verizon's bootloader I know that its pretty much permanently locked.
... at the very least for now,
Meaning, it MAY be possible to get root BUT that would b where the road ended... no custom roms.... etc.
Root better than nothing.

Maybe you can try the app in this video for Windows looks like it has a big list of various Samsung models
I tried the link in the video but it takes you to a 4shared link that seems kind of spammy so I searched for the file on Google and found it eventually about to try it on the PC right now..
Tried it its a jtag app that need a box to flash firmware
We need to find a 7.1 n root exploits that work or find a way to dump the firmware I can't find any restore firmwares online yet

I have the stock firmware for j727VPP, the QB2 bootloader version to be exact, which is stock. It's Odin flushable , if u need it for any reason restore or w.e let me know n send me an email @ [email protected] . Also, Verizon just came out with a update for j727vpp which changed the bootloader to QF3. Do not update, otherwise going back to QB2 will be near impossible and if anyone does come out with a root then it will be for the QB2, not EF3 bootloader. But, if u already did update and need the EF3 firmware for restore purposes I have that as well, except it is in a ENC4 format, which is a RAW format for firmware. U will need to decrypt it with 7Zip to Tar or Md5 in order to be able to flash it. Like i said email me - [email protected] and I'll provide u with whatever files u need.

If you have the US version of the S7, you can't use CF Auto Root. Bootloader is locked.
EDIT: The number 4 in G930UUEU4BQH3 means you have the US variant. I rooted using this guide.

Look up the site sammobile. I'd link you but my life is packed away as I'm moving. Look up firmware G930U for 6.0.1. flash it in Odin then follow the steps in the thread I linked earlier, which I think was for 6.0 anyways. Without my PC I can't tell though.
---------- Post added at 04:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 AM ----------
Also, make sure the firmware has the number 4 in it like the one you have. The number 2 is for international phones aka not US ones.

Ehhhhh...I think...sorry to say but you...just got an American Verizon model with a Snapdragon 820 SoC with a permanently locked bootloader. I think you can root it in a different way tho, but unless a miracle happens you will be stuck on the stock ROM forever, but it can be rooted. There is a method to root the SM-G930A but IDK if it works with the 930V model. Never knew people rebranded Snapdragon models as Exynos models, scary. Try asking for a refund or a real G930F with Exynos 8890 SoC, you got misled by the seller. If you already had it or got it from a close person then try to get an Exynos one. That rooting method kinda looks dangerous and involves flashing a bootloader. To clarify which model do you REALLY have, install Device Info HW from Play Store

Listen, NO ROOT will work for G930F because the phone is not G930F, someone has just flashed G930F firmware on the phone but the HARDWARE is G930V. Understand? You have been ripped off.

That is not possible, you just can't flash an Exynos firmware on a Snapdragon model. Someone must've faked the info strings or something else. @Netcrying, can you tell me what the following fields say in Device Info HW?
SOC/Family
SOC/Instructions
SOC/GPU
SOC/Cores
SOC/Clusters
System/Platform
System/Fingerprint
System/Device
The SoC details can't be faked in software, so this may give us a clue of what it really is. I suspect it's a Snapdragon one though, but please post these.
