. I am a newbie to Android OS rooting.
I have a Samsung S6 that used to be used on an AT&T account and I want to use it to do an experimental change to a newer and simpler version of the Android OS. The phone is not being used at this time, I am now a Spectrum subscriber.
I have installed Root Checker Pro and it reports the phone as a SAMSUNG SM-G-920A with Android version 7.0 and as not rooted.
My plan now is to use the Free-Droid - Rom installation assistant from this thread to do the rooting and OS change.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/rom-installation-assistant-t3944831
If someone could suggest a good choice for a custem ROM that is known to be good on the S6 and well tested it would be very helpful.
And any other suggestions would be appreciated too.

I recently learned that the Samsung S6 (SM-G920A) I am working on here is probably a locked and unhackable device. I had chosen to use that as a learning project because I had it on hand and it was not in use on an active phone service account at this time.
So I am marking this thread as "[SOLVED]" and am no longer pursuing getting a custom ROM on the Samsung S6 (SM-G920A).

Hello awesome people of the rooting community, I've been searching like crazy(with no luck) to find a way to get my beautiful note 3 back to root access ever since i had to buy a new one when my old one fell apart.
i figured i turn to these ever so helpful forums, to be specific its a Sprint Galaxy Note 3 running 4.4.4 NK4. The reason that's underlined is because i have yet to find a way to root the November NK4 update on the forums, YouTube, cellphone stores i know of....etc..
is it even possible? if someone can help me restore my note 3 back to its former glory it would be much appreciated cause I'm out of options and made an account just to post to these forums.
i have had some experince rooting phones(using odin, and cf auto root) but this is a new ballpark for me.:crying:
My Samsung s6 edge has no cell service. IMEI blocked. I think what I have to do is "root", "flash" and somehow get the phone to start using the "Generic IMEI"(???)
but whatever info I will get out of this, my friend who is more cunning is going to use to help me.
It's running on the Original ROM at the moment.
Modelnumber: SM-G925F
Android-version: 5.0.2
I want to be able to use my phone again, and will take any measures.
Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist! Here is a good rooting guide for you: How to Root Any Device. For roms to flash, look here: Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development or Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development.
Good luck!
Guys, good night,
I have a galaxy s7 and used a custom rom here of the forum, yesterday samsung released the 7.0 to Brazil. I downloaded the rom and wanted to use the pay.
But I did the installation through the odin and then the Smart Switch and even then knox and pay do not work.
In an internet search they said that once root changes the binary and it is no longer possible to use, I would like to know if anyone has already had this problem or if they know how to solve it.
Sorry for the language I did for google translate.
Thank you.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 (Sprint). I've never rooted any phone before (I'm coming from iOS, don't judge me). I've jailbroken my past iPhones but I have no idea how to root an android device but I'm interested in rooting my phone. What do I need to root my phone and is it possible to root my phone. I'm running Android 7.0. My phone's model number is SM-G950U. My software version is G950USQS2BQL1 and hardware version is REV1.0. Any help please?
