I was reading finally nougat rooted. Does this thread actually work or is there another method to root S6 that is on nougat or marshmallow? I was able to downgrade to marshmallow from nougat but was not able to go back to 5.0 to use ping-pong root. Suggestions?

I rooted my Verizon S6E with 5.0.2 and I disabled OTA. I want to be prepared for the 5.1.1 update. So when it comes out what is the best way to update to 5.1.1 with out losing root or triggering Knox?
Until it comes out, I don't think anyone will have a definitive answer. Flashing stock ROMs via Odin will preserve the Knox status, but, as it overwrites the system partition, root will be lost. No two ways about it. The only way I can imagine updating to 5.1.1 and having root, will be in hoping that a root method compatible with 5.1.1 comes out shortly after the update, and you apply that.
I was rooted (stock bl) and took 5.1.1 via kies. Everything is fine but no root obviously. What is best way to root now?
you dont.
CF-auto root doesn't support android 5.1.1, and ping-pong root doesn't work if your kernel is built after may 15. So I guess that you'll have to wait. (If I'm wrong please tell me, not 100% sure)

Are you on T-mobile S6/S6E? I think currently no root for S6 5.1.1 and you have to wait until dev works out.
Hi
My S6 (SM-G920F) is still on Lollipop 5.0.2 rooted with PingPongRoot.
Can I safe use FF to upgrade to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and keep root without tripping Knox??
I read somewhere (on this forum) that this is not possible but just want to make sure before I decide to update.
If this not possible can somebody explain why - I do remember times when we could use OdinMobilePro and update S4 and keep Knox untouched.
Thanks
No ... You cannot get root in 5.1.1 and in MM without tripin knox !
I've tried CF Root, flashing CWM, and TWRP. I even tried downgrading it back to 5.1.1 via ODIN. Everything seems to brick the phone. I was wondering is there a root solution for this at all? Currently, I am exploring root methods that worked for other variants like the sprint model, or factory model. But I would really appreciate a root method that is designed for the SM-915T on 6.0.1 N915TUVUS2DPG2. Thanks.

Hi all,
im coming from S5 where everything was easy. Now on my used S8+, Oero was allready installed. After Oreo doesnt seems to be very popular and i havent found a way to root it without a custom kernel and im quite uncertainty on that, im wondering if I can just downgrade to Nougat and root it afterwards with TWRP & CF-Auto-Root.
Downgrading doesnt seems to be a problem, but do i have to consider anything before I go that way?
Got the G955F with Exynos.
Thanks
