Hello, I have rooted my galaxy s6 international version and the only thing I am using is some CSC (?) features like alphabetacilly sorting the app drawer, adblocker and whatsmapp. Actually, I kind of regret it, I want back my factory galaxy s6, warranty, clean rom, is there any way to get like a new device? Installing the stock rom I had will fix it?
Now I see more problems with the s6 like fingerprint sensor isn't working, I'm so afraid without the warranty, don't you?
The burned eFuse-Chip is in fact a hardware damage caused by rooting from the user --> no more warranty by Samsung! You can check that in several reports online, in magazins and even at Samsung

Saw this in the other thread located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/penalties-flashing-rooting-t3097277
So yeah you can never restore original, never...You can only flash stock firmware.
I did root my Galaxy S6, at first I was very disapointed that I did that, but now I'm thinking that sooner or later I would still have done the same thing, because without root your phone is kind of limited to some things, root gives you more power over the phone so you can control it how you like.
Edit: Fingerprint scanner works fine for me, for you it's probably software related issue, that could be solved by flashing other firmwares.

Im curious if thats the same case with rooting with PingPong root. It doesnt trigger KNOX so can it also mean that the efuse doesnt get triggered?

I'm not sure, but it may save the Efuse-chip by rooting with PingPong. It's a shame that I didn't knew about it before rooting...

Well we can hope that it doesn't! Yeah mate it sucks ive been wanting to root ever since the SGS6 released but been torned incase I want to return to completly stock so this is a nice choice. But as you said yourself, you would have eventually rooted sooner or later and I don't think you will miss out on anything important

Install Samsung Smart Switch and use it to make a backup of your things and then use the recovery option in the program. It will download the right firmware for you and re-install your phone to fabric settings.

Thx everyone.. really disappointed of rooting, at least I wish I could restore it and root with ping-pong root.
And Zozo,
Its just to transfer files from my previous device to my current device. .

If you press the "More" button up to the right there's an option called "Emergency software recovery initialisation". There you can re-install your whole phone to completely factory settings
It will not untrip your KNOX if you rooted the phone in any other way than with PingPong Root, that is not possible for the time being.

Why bother? The OPO has an easily unlockable bootloader, so you can root, install a custom recovery and ROMs if you so desire.
Cos I dont wanna unlock bootloader and wipe the phone

Fair enough, you could try it and if it works install titanium backup and backup your apps. Then it would be slightly less hassle to unlock the bootloader. I'm not so sure of the outcome if it doesn't work properly or go wrong, but worse case scenario you may need to wipe to sort your phone out anyway.
I know man, I know
I was simply hoping to find anyone who had already used to get some feedback: I really have no time to restart from zero on the phone, in case anything goes wrong with titanium, helium or anything else.
In addition, my phone works like a charm, have no issues at all: I'd rather not touch it

What about using fastboot to root? You dont need to unlock and wipe, see the below posts and thread for info. Safer than using an 'exploit'.

Edit: Sorry just read through an looks like subsequent updates closed the option of rooting with locked bootloader.

King doesn't work. The only way to root is by unlocking the bootloader. It's best to research a phone when you're buying it, then you'd just unlock the bootloader before committing data to the device.

I've try in my oneplus one with lollipop, and it works!
I can't install supersu, but there is kinguser and it's the same!
I've checked with root check, I've also installed titnum backup and adaway

So I just finally received my phone and of course want to root it and switch over from my htc one m7.
are there any features of rooting that still are in the process of being worked out?
main concern does titanium backup work fully

Titanium Backup works fine. Any apps that use SafetyNet(Android Pay, Snapchat, etc) won't work once you unlock your bootloader/root.

is there a list of the most common SafetyNet apps? I use neither of the two you listed. I just know pkmn go doesnt work but any others or you have a link to the list?

Snapchat, and most banking apps. Except simple and chase that I know of.
There are still tons of warnings of permanent bad things happening if you relock the bootloader without stock software installed. I know no details but I recommend you research that first before starting anything.
What if you just root to modify the hosts file, then into it and lock? Seems like that should be fine
I know one workaround for Snapchat used to be unlocking the bootloader, installing the app and logging in, then rooting. Any word on if that still applies? I'm using a 2014 Moto X still on Lollipop, so I'm afraid I'm a touch out of the loop.

Test and find out if you still get yellow warning at boot. If no warning... Maybe you won't be potentially bricked by red lockout if you lock.
If you you see yellow warning, certainly that is not fine.

Apparently, as I've been informed, to lock the BL again, you will have to do a wipe, so no good.
Just flash a custom kernel, they bypass the bootloader unlock check for safetynet. Doesnt' help you with root though
Yeah, I might end up doing that. So SafetyNet detects systemless root now?

So either one of the 2 kernel's listed here will bypass the bootloader unlock check which will make Android Pay work?

Awesome. I might give it a shot then.
Is there a way to get root without resetting the phone? I am told if you the supported BL unlock, it wipes you.

Did you have to enable something to make AP work after loading that kernel? It isn't working for me.

Oh I didn't know that. I did root. Any way to hide that too?
I've received this update... Now I'm rooted already. I don't know what to do... Should I update it or leave it as it is since I'm using xposed as well.
Will I have to root the phone again?
I've got twrp already installed.
Any instructions?
You can't even take the update if you're root it will just fail to install
wow, this is a pretty big update.
I am on build QB3, anyone else have this? Ive not seen much on it
I don't understand what it's for. I tried to download it but it says I'm out of space even though I have space to install

No where did you download your rom from? Did you root by yourself or did you download a rom on here that was already rooted?
I didn't download it from anywhere, when I got the phone, it was on lollipop, checked updates and there was one, after the update I came on 6.0.1
After a few weeks, I rooted it. Now I've this update
And yes I rooted the phone myself, after using odin to flash twrp

Ok since you rooted yourself it's going to show the update. Roms like https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...g900p-pk1-stock-deodexed-marshmallow-t3521415 the developer disable the update notice for that. Think there's a rule you can flash through twrp to disable that too but idk where it is. A it's somewhere I this forum but it's been a while since I could remember where

But how can I take the update? What's it about? Is there any new feature that we're probably missing?
No you can't take the update unless you unroot. All the new updates for this phone are all security updates and that's it. There's no new features of your on 6.0.1. Anything past pca roms were just security updates. Sprint has been releasing new updates every month for this device but it's all security updates.
hello to all of you,
So i know there are probably many threads about this, but i just cant get my xz premium rooted. i've been trying for a while now.
Last time i rooted a phone was in the windows mobile 6 time lol.
So i tried to unlock the bootloader with the official sony guide on their site bit it didnt work.
i tried some apps like kingroot and oneclickroot but i quickly found that kingroot only gets adware on my phone and oneclickroot is payed and hell i aint paying for nothing.
I tried some manual methods but also these i cant get to work.
So is there any simple thread on how to root my xz premium ?
side note:
my volume up button is broken but i still got it into fastboot so i got this far.
thanks in advantage.
So now my kbc bank app says my phone is rooted and i can not use it anymore while my phone isnt rooted
