Since the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge have identical hardware (other than the battery) can we expect cross-compatibility of things like custom kernels and custom stock ROMs?
For example, I own a Galaxy S6 Edge and there's this fancy custom kernel made by a boss dev for the regular S6, do you think it'd be a breeze to be ported over or would it just support the S6 Edge without the need for a port?
Likely Yeah

I don't take responsibility if it doesn't work, but I'd say it's very likely it will work. It's the same phone with a curved display and the edge feature switched on. Hell, I had to root mine using the normal S6 file since the S6 Edge file bricked it.
Out Of Topic

The experience isn't much different, I really only rooted it so I could get Titanium Backup and restore all my apps and data. There are no custom ROMs yet nor does Xposed work yet as TWRP isn't out for it yet. But I used Odin 3.10.6 and flashed the G920T CF Auto-root file.

Yes you can downgrade from lollipop to kit kat. Doing so does not effect the knox bootloader. Neither does rooting, only installing a recovery will. So if you were to want to root your phone so you can install a custom rom, you would need to install custom recovery to install the rom. This would trip the knox bootloader and void your warrenty. Im not sure if you lease your phone from tmobile, but if you do, you might want to reconsider custom roms, unless you intend on keeping the phone and not turning it back it for an upgrade. As far as rooting 5.0 lollipop im not sure. Im only speaking of my experience downgrading from 5.0 to kit kat. I hope this helps

Root UVU1DOB1 Android 5.0 on T-Mobile Galaxy S5 G900T Official Firmware
i got lollipop yesterday and i just did this 5 minutes ago. works perfectly. the only prerequisite is that you have to flash a custom recovery and immediately boot to the recovery to apply the zip

i just updraded to ob1 5.0 today and have since rooted it. took no time at all following the instructions listed in the link. now my question is can i run custom roms with the upgraded baseband and what not. would love to try some new roms on my shiny new s5
yeah, there's a couple. i ran cm12 for a bit but i had serious problems with bluetooth sound quality (dropped out every 3-5 seconds). i almost broke my S5 because of it. i've since downgraded again. i need touchwiz so i don't lose the fingerprint and other TW specific features, but right now there's no great way to incorporate xposed.. well, someone was hacking something, but i stopped following..
so essentially just hold and wait for something to be done. im loving my s5 but just want to increase battery life and maybe increase performance a bit. other than that i prefer tw and most stock files and features
I am on stock DOB1 now after bricking my phone a month ago.
Any idea if there are any stable Lollipop AOSP ROMs out there that work with the DOB1 Modems/BL?
I kinda want to try Sonic Kang. It looks pretty solid to me!
Does this root method trip knox? No recovery just root

It does if it flashes a custom bootloader or kernel.
Is this the case no matter what version OS of the phone you have?
I'm honestly tired of searching; I guess I'm the only person with a Rooted Sprint Galaxy S5 and a Galaxy Gear S. The GS5 (running on BlissPop) is not supporting the Galaxy Apps/Gear Manager. I've tried several ways to unroot/back to stock ROM and still getting a FAIL from Odin. I want the ability to interact with my Gear S even by going back to stock ROM. I can't be the only one in the world with this problem...! At least I refuse to believe so...

Thats an issue with your BlissPop rom. Have you tried posting in the BlissPop rom forum? The best way to get back to stock is to grab OFFICIAL firmware. Its also possible that your device is formatted for custom roms and would need to be reformated to stock...official firmware should automatically do this if it is different.
HI Guys as my name suggest i am not that great on technical.
I am buying my son a S6 Edge only on the condition that i install monitoring software on the phone so that i can access it at all times.
To utilise this software to capture all messages whats app etc the phone needs to be rooted and this is the only reason i need to root and will not be doing anything else to the phone.
I recently rooted a note 4 and had all sorts of issues however did manage to get it back to factory and resolve using Odin and flashing stock.
On the s6 EDGE there are a number of sites that say use pingpongroot or oneclickroot or Kingo Android root. Can anyone advise the best root for a S6 EDGE and any complications i may face later having rooted it.
Cheers
Gifford

just remeber knox counter gets tripped by the rooting.. so no samsung pay etc
You should say what android version are you using, as you can root and keep warranty on 5.0.2, but lose warranty on 5.1.1
I have done an error and wiped my firmware on my galaxy S6 edge (G925F).
Now I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod 13 ROM but the only one I found in the net is zerolte for G925F. the problem is that my G925F accept only zeroflte ROM, and in the web it looks like zeroflte is accorded to G920F.
The only one I could install is cm-13.0-20151219-UNOFFICIAL-zerofltexx.zip, But where I found it, they say that it is for G920F,
and I have many Issues with power button, back button...
Some one can help me please!!! Now I cannot use my phone.
Hey man sorry to hear that.
Search on here for the griffin rom. That will work nicely for the s6 edge.
If you have found a cyanogenmod that works on the s6 edge please share. I would like to try it myself.
Personally i am after a nougat version of the s6 edge. I want vulkan bad!

There isnt actually an official CM rom for s6 edge. Are you sure yours is zeroflte? I have g925f and mine is zerolte.
Sorry in advance if this is common knowledge. Semi-noob. I searched forums far and wide for past 3 days for this info.
Device: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935T (Snapdragon)
I have the latest Samsung/T-Mobile firmware installed (July 2019 update) with Binary 10.
In a nutshell:
From what I have gathered, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (T-Mobile) has a locked boot loader, which means that it CANNOT be rooted or modded (at this time). Is this entirely correct?
In detail:
I switched my phone service from T-Mobile to Safelink with the same phone and ported phone number. The warranty is expired, and I accept the risks. I want to get rid of T-Mobile bloatware on my unrooted device, and even install custom ROMs so that I can experiment with the possibility of better WiFi signal strength and other fun stuff. My phone is great, but it does not run as smoothly or fast as I would like it to.
Tutorial after tutorial has resulted in dead ends (SW Check Fail using Odin and download mode, Heimdall, etc.). The main issue seems to be that the binaries cannot be older than what I currently have installed, and I have the latest one, Binary 10.
It is my understanding that this cannot be navigated, unless I get off my butt and figure out how to exploit it myself. Is this correct?
If not, is there any way to get around this locked boot loader issue with the SM-G935T having the latest stock firmware (Binary 10)?
You guys rock.
Tap
I swear to god I've been strugling for solid 1 hour just to find a proper firmware binary 10 just like you. But it seems like worthless. If you find anything please help me *sob*
did you find the solution yet? cz am in the same situation right now, my phone is running on the latest binary 10 like you said...
