Hi
Ive just bought a S6 Edge SM G925F on 6.0.1 and was wondering what benefits i would get from rooting
The phone still has warranty until june 2017 so im unsure weather to root or not
Cheers
If you dont know what the benefits are you should not root as you will not benefit from it.
What I mean is that its probably not worth the risk if you have to ask because you dont know anywhere near enough to use root to its potential.
If you want to get some nice Features like Xposed, Titanium Backup or Flashing custom Roms, root. If you are satisfied with your device as it is, let it unrooted. I rooted too and i love to test out new custom roms like Alexis Rom, Noble Note 7 Port.
Undoubtedly.
Android is meant to be rooted ^^
Could someone point me to the correct root tutorial
Thanks

Boot into download mode, open odin, flash cf-auto-root OR Flash twrp instead of cf-auto-root and then install supersu.zip from there

Hello, I have read this thread and I want to know if this tutorial could work for our Galaxy S6 with PingPongRoot.
Has anyone tried it?
Thanks.
Hello,
It will work without impacting Knox if you only want to get root.
But when you will install a custom recovery to flash custom ROM ---> Knox +1...
No choice from now.
Ah cool. I don't feel so bad for tripping knox prior to ping-pong. I don't really mind Samsung pay at the moment anyway.

Seems like someone managed to flash a custom ROM on the S6 using FlashFire without tripping Knox: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433/post60748708
Brand new never used Telus Galaxy S6 Model number SM-G920W8 Android Ver. 5.1.1
Anyone have any insight on how i go about rooting this? As everything i have read has not been with this model number? Just got this phone today but before i switch over from my S4 i want to root it.
Thanks
I have telus s6 and rooting is like any other galaxy s6. If you want to root without tripping knox, I have no clue..

Yea im fine tripping KNOX no biggie to me.
Your with Telus also? What ROM you running?
I'm currently using Venom http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-o-m-1-3-fast-n-smoot-92xifkls-30dec-t3282382
The only drawback I've had with this rom is that it has adblock enabled by default. So some websites will block your connection. However, there is a way to turn it off in script, so no biggy if you don't like adblocks.
I've been using it for a long time. It's the most stable without useless addons. Let me know if you need a point in the right direction getting root.
If you're looking for a clean stable and deodexed ROM i would suggest taking a look here
Auto-root included in kernel.

Try CF-Auto-root for your model number as it uses a close to stock recovery then use Odin 3.10.7 to install TWRP 3.0.2.....Should solve your issue....

Looking for a google frp bypass also if anyone knows how.
Ok the past week iv pulled all nighters trying to root this s727vl. I have also did ton of of research and have found out the root method for 6.0 marshmellow and how root is obtain has drastically changed. I have easily rooted every device iv owned from 2.0 to 4.4. What if found out is the device is easier to root than 4.4 and 5.0. The problem is that the 2 root methods are not currently possible at this time because custom recovery is needed to flash supersu.zip. twrp and cwm have not made a compatible apk for our device. And the second root method which requires eng.boot don't have one for our device's either. The good news is that twrp is completely open source and there is a guide here on the forum on how to recompile it for your device. I will be giving it a shot. Dont wast your time with iroot, kingroot, srsoot,towel root, unlock root, tunesgo, and about 5 more that i cant remember the name.. i will keep everybody posted on my recompiling twrp. It's going to be a awhile though.

Any luck yet I sure hope so I've been doing the same thing trying to find a root or recovery I got another one just like the ones were working on that I dropped and cracked the glass so I'm going to use it as as the test subject.
Wondering if you had any success rooting this one. Honestly, I'd just like to use the mobile hotspot.

Hey,
Do you still have the link to the factory firmware for the sky pro?
I am having a weird problem with my new phone, if you care to look at my only post you can read my description. If not I could use that firmware. Mine must be corrupted or some **** because factory reset wont fix my problem. Thanks!

I've been studying this phone for a while and waiting for a root method. TWRP would be ideal, but it doesn't seem to be a priority for those with the talent to do so. In my research today, I may have stumbled upon what appears to be a means to root this phone (or any phone). Instead of looking around for "root", try instead to study and learn about Magisk. It seems to be the new preferred way to root newer devices. TWRP would make it easier, but there are instructions to use the stock firmware download and the Magisk app to achieve root for practically any device. Even if there is no TWRP available.
From what I can gather, Magisk modifies the stock Boot.img file. Once modified, it will allow you to switch root on and off much like we have in the past. It also has the added benefit of "hiding" from the OS, so the OS is not as likely to become aware of being rooted. It remains rooted even after Updates.
Have a look at this link for a better explanation and a basic how-to:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/how-to-install-magisc-twrp-locked-t3599926/page2
I post this so that the rest of you can try it as well, hopefully soon so we can compare notes and hopefully leverage each other's success. I'm downloading the Stock firmware now. This is NOT a "run a magic program and it roots my phone idiot-proof method", but it doesn't seem to be overly-complex either. Good luck and please report back.
Hello! I currently own a Galaxy S6 (SM-G920I) that runs Android 7.0, I've had this phone for almost 3 years or so, and I think it's finally time to root it, I have rooted my S4 before but I wanted to up things up a notch and install a custom ROM for my phone, so I was wondering which ROM is the best one to flash and which rooting method do I use, if there is like a safe one or so?
Sorry for the very "noob" question, thank you so much in advance! <3
Hi, flash TWRP through Odon. Choose a samstock rom and flash it over TWRP. Root it via odin.
Ps: best post any new questions to q&a forum.

I'm inheriting my fiancée's T-mo S6 soon, and this comment is just a bookmark to come back here. :]
