a little bit of help - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all.
A friend of mine has samsung s6 sm-g920f currently running 6.01 (mmb29k.g920fxxs5dqc1) and wants to root his phone. Since I do not own this phone, I would be glad if someone could help me, with the steps required (for unlocking bootloader, flash twrp and SuperSu), so I could use search more efficiently.
Thanks in advance!

I did check this thread, but I am a bit confused of the prerequisites....
I have only phones, with standard procedure : unlock bootloader, flash TWRP. flash SuperSU ...

Sm g920f has an unlocked bootloader so don't worry about that part.

[ROOT][SM-T53X,SM-T33X][CF-AUTO-ROOT][Simplest method to get ROOT now for 5.02-5.1.1]

Hi folks . Dear @Chainfire update your CF-Auto-Root base and now we get opportunity to have root with the simplest method ! It works now on 5.02 and 5.1.1 stock firmwares . Sorry but knox is tripped .
Now this works on SM-T530 , SM-T530NU , SM-T535 , SM-T532 , SM-T533 ,SM-T330NU , SM-T331
Complete list you can see on https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ .
HOW INSTALL :
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
All downloads contain .tar.md5 files flashable in ODIN as PDA(AP)
Make sure your device is in ODIN download mode (usually you can get there by holding VolDown+Home+Power when the device is turned off), then start the included Odin file, press the PDA(AP) button, select the .tar.md5 file, and click Start. You can find more detailed instructions and assistance at XDA.
A modified recovery and cache partition will be flashed, which will install (only) SuperSU, then clean-up the cache partition and re-flash the stock recovery.
For the root to work, the device must reboot into recovery. Most devices will do this automatically after flashing these files, but in case that does not happen, please boot into recovery manually.

You better ask @HausiX10 about this in PM .
Wow thank you for this! I successfully rooted my Tab 4 SM-T330NU using 5.1.1 on the first attempt with the files provided here. I had been trying all weekend to successful root my device using other methods and files, but for some reason they all resulted in bootloops. I kept reading through the troubleshoot forums for a solution, but nothing worked. I wish I would have found this thread sooner, it would have saved me a lot of problems!
bootloop
Hi I'm stuck in bootloop; set warranty bit: kernel. Any solutions?
Still working?
"You can find more detailed instructions and assistance at XDA." Mhm, I am on XDA so where are that detailed instructions? And when I finished root Unified daemon, Media memory and TouchWiz - home are stopping working. Is it normal?
I need sm-t537v please
What about the bootloader?

Hi @repey6. Thanks for the tutorial.
Do you know if I need to worry about unlocking the bootloader on my device? It's a SM-T531 (Brazil) running 4.4.2.
@Chainfire's auto-root page warns that flashing the auto-root with the bootloader locked will probably brick it, but I'm so noob that I don't even know if mine is locked or not. I can only imagine that it is, since I haven't done anything close to flashing anything on this device.
Thanks for your attention.

Hi. Your bootloader is not unlocking. But supersu is not actual now. Magisk root is better.
So how to I unlock it?

Thanks for the answer! So, how do I unlock the bootloader then? Haven't been able to find it here in XDA. Also, I've found a post here on the forum where a user claimed Magisk didn't work in 5.0.2 because the kernel was too old. Do you know if Towelroot is better?
Pls help. :crying:

[SOLVED] Galaxy S6 G920FQ Bootloader unlock?

As I said in the title my device is G920FQ model. I want to try custom roms, is it already bootloader unlocked or is there a way to unlock bootloader? I've searched this place but couldn't find anything.
Also if it is bl unlocked can I just flash TWRP without rooting my device first?
EDIT: Got it all sorted out.

Any method to root without unlocking bootloader?

Hi everyone!
I just got my Nougat 7.0 update a week ago in Hungary.
I would like to know, is there any method to root the device WITHOUT UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER?
I read that is possible like this way: run fastboot boot recovery.img and flash the superuser zip there
Is this ok to root my A9?
Thank you the answers in advance.
No the method you outlined has long been disabled

SAFE rooting to HUAWEI MATE 9

hi guys ,
I`ve read this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986
my ask : Does this rooting goes well with MHA-L29C185B172 ?
if not , then how can i root my device SAFELY ?
thanks all
one, post, no experience with rooting android phones, do NOT root this phone unless there is some important reason to.
do ALOT more reading before you even think about rooting
Thx to reply. Like the others i wanna root to have root apps in my phone ,
Thx . Wanna have apps requires root in my phone . That simple
You don't even need to decrypt if you don't want to.
Unlock Developer Options (Settings - About: tap build number until it says it's enabled)
Go to the Developer Options and enable OEM Unlocking
Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp 3.1.0
Flash SuperSU no-decrypt (https://mega.nz/#!lkV0jbYJ!b1h-5uVksvpt7rw0tRHV7Qxjwk2xkKox0w-iRsCLlbU)
Have fun.
For decryption follow the decrypt guide.
To undo root and relock (Bootloader Locked) flash a stock firmware using the Force flash guide under Guides or use firmware finder).
For Magiskv12 root you need firmware B182+
super!!! , I did unlock the device and flashed twrp ,then tried install SU but failed , that made me afraid of bricking if i did further action

Original SuperSU 2.79 won't install. We have no loop support in kernel pre-B182. And even with support it doesn't install. The one I linked is a phh supersu hybrid. It uses phh su's method of installing, but installs SuperSU.

Hi. I just happen to come across your post and noticed you said that there is no loop support pre-B182. I have the Chinese version with B213. Some apps, like Linux on Android need, unless something has changed, loop support as well as root. Do you have a reference or a link about the loop support on this phone? Thanks!
I failed install su however still waiting for any updates

Just would like to say that it's not fair to say him that in case that the second entry said: One post on xda and he wants to root!
I think the problem is the order you gave him @ante0 (MAYBE!)
Unlock bootloader
flash TWRP
And I think he now has a BIG problem bc you DIDN'T said or forced him to go into developer settings and turn on OEM-unlock!
@nawraz did you turned on OEM-unlock in developer settings?
if you boot into fastboot mode are BOTH (bootloader and FRP = unlocked (in red letters), or and I really hoper NOT is FRP lock (in green letters)???
Maybe that is now the problem for him, not being able to flash SuperSU?
If you have luck @nawraz then try to flash TWRP 3.0.2-2 and with that SuperSU2.79
If you have root then you can install latest TWRP (3.1.0-1)
If you can't flash anything... oh oh!

He already unlocked and flashed twrp.
3.1.0 installs SuperSU fine. 3.0.3 does not.
And if oem was locked he wouldn't even be in twrp as you can't flash anything with fastboot if it is locked.
But I'll update my post in case anyone does miss to unlock oem.
Hope you don't get me wrong!
Just said that bc I had that problem 5 days ago and the only thing that helped was funky!
I had a softbrick and a reboot always kicked me into eRecovery
I just had eRecovery and fastboot!
Bootloader relocked and frp locked!
Stupid me relocked the bootloader bc I read that you then can unlock oem, then unlock bootloader again!
Well, that was a mistake!

Yeah. Only way then would be to rebrand to C636 using the DLOAD method, then rebrand back to your stock version using the Update thread under Guides. The latter requires twrp though so you'd need to rebrand first to get a working system.
To be honest I just figured he had already unlocked and flashed twrp as he was in the decrypt thread
Missing oem was an error on my side. It was long since I had to unlock oem xD

Weird. I tested with 3.1.0 a few days ago. But I guess it could have to do with builds. 3.1.0 is using kernel for B182. Maybe it's fixed if you use 3.1.0 with B182.
Oh well, good you managed to install it anyway.
Edit: I tested with the SuperSU I linked.

All I know is that it wasn't present in builds before B182.
 @st_voss is the one who found out it was added in B182 (Kernel build April. 11th probably as that's what I have on B182.).
It might be present in B181 on C636 as well, that was released 8th of May.
