So i have a verizon s6 running 7.0
baseband g920vvrs4dqk1
build # nrd90m.g920vvrs4dqk1
security patch nov.1 2017
I also have an at&t s6 edge running 7.0
baseband g925aucs7erc1
build # nrd90m.g925aucs7erc1
security patch march 1 2018
So I've been searching for months looking for info on xda and the web to get root for them but from everything I've found says it's not possible without tripping knox.. but everything seems to either brick, boot-loop or is not legit.
What I want to know is:
Can I get root for either one of them?
I'm not worried about the warranty since they are already expired or Knox since if I can get root I'd like to get rid of it all together and I really want them rooted so I can get a debloat Rom for them and play around with them..
So can someone please help me and give me some good news for Christmas... thanks for any time, help and/or advise it's greatly appreciated and respected
You can't root any AT&T and Verizon variant of S6 series (S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus) no matter what.

So your free way is dr.phone?

Because the locked bootloader? That sucks.. was hoping it was just because of the warranty and no one wanting to avoid it...

Yeah, the root tool is free. But not others. Just have a try.
Ok I'll give it a shot...

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)
XDA, would it be possible to look into rooting a Samsung Note Edge (SM-N915A) with Marshmallow 6.0.1. I've tried different things, but there doesn't seem to be a process for this phone with that OS.
2nded!
Is there a way to root the 915T already updated to 6.0.1 dpj2 (October update)?
Root SM-N915A? Please?
I have discovered that the bootloader on my SM-N915A (ATT) Note Edge is locked up tight. I am very eager to root this phone, as I have had it since release and I have yet to use it to its full potential. Perhaps a bounty (like Verizon's Note Edge)? Is anyone interested in cracking open this bootloader?

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
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

I would say buy a new phone. That phone is the manufactured anymore and the root problem is hard to get rid of. Possibly if you try another firmware change

Ok so I have a U.S. Galaxy S8 SM-G950U (Sprint)
Android Version: 8.0.0 (downgraded from 9.0) Android Security Patch Level: July 1, 2018 Baseband Version: G950USQS5CRF5 Build Number: R16NW.G950USQS5CRF5
This model doesn't have an unlocked bootloader and after doing a couple of days research on the net, it seems impossible that it can be unlocked because it's Snapdragon.
I really want to root this phone with TWRP recovery and SU Superuser or just another variant that allows me to install SU Superuser.
I've seen reports on XDA Dev that it's been figured out for S8+ but for S8 it seems the OEM unlock is still needed.
Can ANYONE help? Is there any way of rooting this model at all? A link to a step by step guide would be great or any advice/info you can give.
Thank you!
Don't know if you have moved on, found out the answer or are still interested in an answer. I'm not anyone with much of any knowledge about these types of things but I have an s8 and had it rooted. So the short answer is YES IT IS POSSIBLE. Good luck with your endevours
Is your S8 snapdragon? If so what version are you on? Im on Android 9 Pie with snapdragon. I would love to be able to root
I got the same issue, samsung s8 Sm-G950U unlocked from Sprint i got no idea on how to root it first and then unlock it for any carrier. OEM unlock is not active on Sprint devices and i think this is the key to successfully get the phone rooted. Any suggestion would be appreciated for that specific type of phone and carrier/ Thanks
