PROJECT ABANDONED.
None of my test units are vulnerable, and no other dev has shown interest.
Good news though, hope is not lost- there is a big vuln unrelated to Drammer that may be the key to CID 11 getting root.
I am working on this new project actively, as I have already gotten root access on my test units.
THIS IS A R&D THREAD!! Please only contribute / wait patiently.
This aims to get CID 11 (locked bootloader) users rooted on 6.x ROMs.
*Note: VUSec has decided against releasing their implementation of the exploit (a test utility was provided instead).
This may change in the future, but until then we will attempt our own implementation based on their work.
If you would like to see if your device would be vulnerable you can use VUSec's app here: https://vvdveen.com/drammer/drammer.apk

I have experience recovering from a hard brick
I have a g900v that is not my daily driver it is cid15 and not rooted or bootloader unlocked

Thank you
Glad to see there is a chance of a root method for Galaxy s5 Verizon 6.0. Thanks for the hard work!

I hate to rain on the parade, hauckk. But i don't see where you're able to help for the CID 11 devices...? unfortunately, you're unable to help as to this thread was made to aim to get the CID 11 users rooted on 6.x ROM's. Being that you have the CID 15 device and that you're rooted with the bootloader unlocked, i don't see how you're going to help with the CID 11 users. Especially from "hard brick" because of you not owning a CID 11 device.
Again, I'm for smokerbond to continue with his OP and not questioning him one bit :good:. It's how someone with the CID 15 device will be fit in when you're able to do what others cannot...?
Um row hammer is a ram memory exploit it doesn't matter what emmc chip I have it is the same device with the exception of the eMMC chip
So it makes no difference and I'm not rooted and I am bootloader locked

This the explanation of the exploit
Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
I know about the exploit and what it's about....not 'flaming' you at all, it was somewhat how you first defined it and also with you having the 15 chip i don't see much of how it may help as to it's vulnerable opposed to the 11. Speaking of which, there was no mention of the CID's of the 2 devices used in the test. Could one of them have been a 15 CID and the other the 11 CID??? That may be something one's need to request for more information on the devices used. May help with the OP's R&D of this topic.....
Great point I hadn't thought about that the different cids 15 or 11 in the test

Happy to see some users are still fighting for control over the VZW S5 with eMMC 11 chips. That being said, anyone have luck getting root on 6.0* ROMs? I just flashed BS_FREE_MM_PF4 via Safestrap on my locked bootloader, which is great to have stripped down / bloatware free(ish); however, there are just some root features I can't live without.
Obviously, it's definitely time to upgrade to an s7 or perhaps wait for the Note 8... any device suggestions?

Well, in that case, I guess I didn't need to hurry and root/unlock just now in the fear that I'd be blocked off forever.
Oh well, I really didn't want that "remote access" app anywhere near my phone.
I was able to update to the new OTA and keep Root/Bootloader Unlocked using The Mobile Odin Pro App.
By the way, no surprise but they did in fact "dumb down"on device searching.

I can confirm 100% you will have no issues with it. I look like a newbish person here as I don't come on xda much. I just thought I'd spread the love over here. I'm usually over @ Rootz.
http://rootzwiki.com/user/19244-goose306/
I don't like to pull this card, but hopefully you see I have enough reps over there to at least know what I'm talking about
That being said all its going to really do is give you a better radio and patch the no sim issue, and install more bloat (Verizon Remote Access) and dumb down your search abilities. So its about 50/50 as far as benefits. But if you don't like it you can ODIN back to previous firmware versions anyways, so it really isn't that big of a deal. The best benefit you could have would be to root it, unlock it, block the OTA, then install the new radio separately. This will get you the benefit of the new radio and patching the no sim error but without the new Verizon bloat and without the neutered search capability. Best of both worlds.
If you plan on flashing ROMs about the only thing you will be keeping from this OTA going forward will be the new radio. So it doesn't really make a lick of difference either way as the radio can be flashed separately as discussed.

Thanks, I said f'k it and rooted and unlocked. Don't plan on flashing anything now because am really enjoying this Rom stock but when we get a Verizon JB leak I want to make sure I can install it. We will probably see a leak months before a release.

We now have a safestrap! Mind you its an ALPHA and should be used with caution there are currently NO Roms that support it but it does have TWRP. So backups are possible. Read up and download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2605648
Now that the 4.3 update is out the old thread isn't very accurate.
So I'm making this so we can talk about it!
Rules:
-No spamming
-Be nice

DISCLAMER FOR TAKING THIS UPDATE: your bootloader will become perminantly locked after updating. So if you are fine with no more Roms or Kernels then update away. any rooting applications other then the one listed below will cause hard brick. any attempts to downgrade to MF! HARD BRICK

Which means VZW probably has some trickery in this to permalock the bootloader, so be careful.
Can anybody please check what languages does 4.3 have and if they're any different from 4.1.2? As we won't have root as of now, I'm afraid to lose support of one specific language enabled by Language Enabler. Thanks in advance!
Well this is great news. Maybe i'll run it over the holidays for the Camera. Can't wait to see what our great Devs can do with this!

I am completely psyched for this!! I passed on a galaxy s6 just so I could still use my microsd card from my htc one remix, and I passed on a g4 for the fingerprint scanner so this is awesome news for this device, I would love to use cyanogenmod on here and its a definite positive knowing that once this is released, I can use marshmallow before its official ota release too! Plus the chance of this phone becoming dead in the forums will be slim to nothing once this is released, this is absolutely amazing news in my opinion. I don't care if they charge to unlock the bootloader or not, I'll be one of the first too pay to get mine unlocked and then I can be one of the cool kids with roms again lol ?

And the Verizon would pay quote I think is bs, they're making money either way, they could care less.
I hope it works. I have the dev edition and development is getting stale. This would open up a lot more development, assuming the devs haven't already abandoned this phone.
Only a few more months with the phone, why not go out in style! Hope this is true.
And they're probably going to sit on this and never do anything with it, or worse, sell the exploit to Samsung/Verizon. :/
Does this mean those of us who have unrooted, stock OG5 builds might also get root? Normally root comes first, then maybe unlocking the boot loader, correct? I am noob, but was hoping an unlocked boot loader might make a root exploit easier as well. Am I crazy?
Root, with the unlocked bootloader, would mean I could finally get out of my stock Verizon rom (when I'm on a t mobile mvno).

It depends on what the unlock method requires. If it needs root then it won't work. If it doesn't need root then it's likely that OG5 will be able to unlock.

Once bootloader is unlocked, the possibility is unlimited, any custom roms can be flash and root is just a piece of cake. If the bootloader is unlocked, we can flash a custom kernel where it allowed to root....at will. ...

If OEMs or Carriers bought exploits, I would be rich and no longer be posting on XDA. They don't.
According to what he's actually doing on the computer via ADB, he's using root commands which means it may require root. This is only speculation though because he does flash a bootloader file via Odin too and obviously you don't need root for Odin.
So essentially it could just be as easy as flashing a bootloader file via Odin.

My take is it's just a security update rather anything else.
Can you still root and install a recovery after the update?
I get a error in recovery @30 % when trying to take the update on a stock n5 ! Any suggestions would be great
Looks like they tryimg to block root again

No need to. The phone is great straight out of the box. I have been rooting phones since hoc evos, and I'm finally happy with phones today. Additionally, once you root it, it's a pain in the butt to update the software and many other little things. So that's why

With the newest software, root is somewhat useless. Xposed may not work correctly, no OTA, plus note 5 has the electronic root thing, so when you tooth the phone, it is tripped and can never be returned to original state, thus, service providers will know it is rooted and may deny repair, replacement.

I see your point bit IMO rooting is better than stock. Xposed works fine, I like my Adaway and youtube ad block, other phone customizations etc.

You do realize sprint doesn't even remotely care right? They just ask that you have "stock" when you have a problem and need the device serviced. However if you are stock rooted this has no bearing whatsoever.

Kies should work, no?
I know it's hit or miss but try it

I don't think he's worried about Sprint. He just wants stock.
Hey guys, I recently purchased a second hand Galaxy S6 (not an Edge variant) and I'm curious as to how exactly, I go about rooting it in order to unlock it. I remember rooting my S3 was relatively straight forward, but this seems a little more complex partly due to just how many options there are for all the different models.
I'm on Android 5.1.1, and my build number is currently: LMY47X.G920FXXU3QOJF
If anybody could point me towards a relevant guide or provide a little more information, that'd be awesome. Cheers!
Get into downloadmode, flash a kernel with autoroot via Odin. Reboot and congratulations ^^

Neat, thanks for the response!
Would this Kernel suffice? http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nt/kernel-hacker-kernel-s6-universal-t3254487
Also, as a result, would this make my phone automatically unlocked from all network carriers?
You can use that kernel. I use SpaceX kernel. They are both with autoroot.
I dont know if it unlock all network carriers. I think phone can already support different ROM's from different carriers.
I flashed for example French ROM. And now im on the official dutch again

I managed to get it working. For those who are curious, this is a great video that illustrates exactly what to download and from where, depending on your region.
Now that I'm rooted, however, does anybody have any idea how to unlock my device?
Try a Nexus 6P

Great answer!
Seriously though, considering I just bought this, and Nexus 6Ps are about 200 more here, that's not really an option.

I wouldn't waste my hard earned money on Nexus Junk. And make no mistake, they are all junk.

Have you tried calling EE? I think they'll do it for a small fee.

I'd rather this not turn into a 'what device is better' thread, please.
And I'm gonna go into their store today and see what they can do for me. Apparently, it's only £8.99 for an unlock, I just wondered if there existed any free method.
