Hi,
Sorry if this has been said in a thread, i have read a few but i am so confused.
So far with my device i've only flashed XSA.
I'm wondering if it's possible to root this model S8+ without losing Samsung pay & KNOX?
Thank you
No.

Greetings
Proud new owner of a brand new edge !
Looking to root it , preferably without tripping knox.
I was told that auto root doesnt work for this N915FY ?
Does Kingo work ?
Does it trip knox ?
Im on 4.4.4 from what i gather...
Thanks.
Question, I had a s6 128gb so I had nothing to worry about space but I've changed to an s7, rooted, and I can't find a fix for this. My Z5 xperia has no problem about sdcard fix.
Is this limited to s7 or its a marshmallow issue? Or should I mod it into an adoptable storage?

There is no root available for any US model. All bootloaders are locked for every carrier.
Adoptable Storage is the only option at the moment. There is a way to enable it in s7. Root not required. You will find with a quick google search (sorry, do not have the link right now)
Samsung S6
Build id MMB29K.G920IDVU3EPGG
Model # SM-G920I
Version 6.0.1
Have searched through pingpong/kingroot (only 5.x), chainfire (trips knox) and copious websites/tutorials but seem to find that build number is not supported with any root options.
What options do I have to root the above samsung S6 without tripping knox?
Thks
Any info would be appreciated.

Hi and we to xda-assist,
actually your possibilities are very limited as you running a unsupported firmware, the exploits that ping-pong uses are closed on your firmware and I doubt that downgrading is a alternative because once you have the unsupported firmware version running on your device even the bootloader will be upgraded and you can't downgrade without relatively great risk of seriously damaging the phone, if can be done at all.
So next is probably to decide how important root privileges are to you and if you're willing to sacrifice your warranty for that..
I would nonetheless recommend you to ask in this forum again, may be someone with the same device has a progressive idea and can help you further.

By the way, it's always a good idea to research the device of interest regarding root & custom roms before you buy it..
Good luck

Hi, couldn't post on any other article related to this because I am new to XDA. Sorry about that.
Is it really possible that i can use knox on s7 edge after I have rooted it?
I had rooted my phone and now I am back to official rom and recovery but knox and private folder apps of Samsung are not working and I really want to use phone with full functionality..
Thanks!
I'm just wondering if there is a way to root att sg8+ without tripping knox.
depends on your bootloader version, but yes there are ways you can.
here is the original thread i used...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-g955u-g955u1-snapdragon-sampwnd-root-is-here.3658911/
and here is a great user with tons of guides for other bootloader versions....
