Hi Guys,
I have the Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F.
I had android version 5.0.2 so i could root with ping-pong without interrupt KNOX and avoid the warranty.
But now i have android version 5.1.1, no ping-pong root for that version, and not other way to root without interrupt KNOX and avoid the warranty.
So, is there a way to write to csc files without rooting?
I want to add some features to the files according to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/quick-guide-enabling-hidden-features-t3087506
Thanks
Editing system files always requires root.
There is no way around it.
Sure, you can view the csc features, but good luck editing them.

Im on 5.1.1 G625i LATAM 64gb. Using stock everything, not rooted.
If i got it right there's 2 types of root:
1. Tripping KNOX: No issues but increasing counter.
2. Not tripping KNOX: disables fingerprint and call sound, but there's a fix for call issue.
Is these information correct? Also, is there any link to go on the #1 (tripping knox)? This forum is kinda weird, stuff are not that organized, can't find stuff easily.
think so
Any1 else?
SM-G925I on 5.1.1 stock?
sadly I believe there is only one option for you. which is CF-AutoRoot.
AutoRoot flashes your phone with the root binary and will trip Knox.
The non-Knox tripping option which you alluded to is called PingPongRoot and utilizes an exploit that was patched between 5.0.2 and 5.1.1.
There is a third option but it is only available on the T-Mobile variant of the S6E. (SM-G925F I believe).
Anyone please verify
knox and fingerprint

i have OTA updated to 5.1.1
Hi,
I have a fresh , not upgraded Galaxy S6 Edge in its box.
Currently I use my S5 rooted without any issues. As I like to use my phones rooted, I'd like to root this one as well.
But I am not sure which root method is easily applicable with minimum limitations.
For example, I need to use Samsung Allshare cast dongle and it needs original recovery image.
So I prefer to root without recovery change , or if I have to change recovery, I'd like to revert it back to original.
So, how should I root my S6 Edge ?
And, as it is not upgraded yet, should I root then upgrade or upgrade then root ? Which one first ?
Thanks.
Btw, my device is G925FQ , sold in Turkey specificly.
Hi,
I'd appreciate any ideas.
Thanks.
Hello,
I just got s S6 Edge SM-G925F, It has already android 5.1.1 version with kernel: version: 3.10.61-5447113. I would like to root the device using the pingpong tool without tripping Knox and I read that is not working on android 5.1.1.
My question is: if i downgrade from android 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 is it possible to root the device without tripping knox ?
Another question is : Am I gonna trip knox if after I root the device after I downgrade to android 5.0.1 and install TWRP for example in order to flash another ROM ?
A word of caution, downgrading from 5.1.1 to 5.0.2 is possibly ill-advised, and not for Knox reasons, according to sources .
Apparently the bootloader introduced with the 5.1.1 update takes offence to trying to be downgraded and throws the phone into a bootloop.
however, you are in a privileged position, running the F variant, there is a way to do pretty much whatever you want without worrying about Knox.
see this thread for details.

Thanks a million for the information, I am still not sure if I will root it because I like the fingerprint scanner functionality.
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 am currently running the OS below.
T-Mobile SG5 Model SM-900T
Android 4.4.2
Baseband: G900TUVU1CNK2
My knox is not tripped and the only apps I really use ROOT for is.
Titanium Backup Pro
Busy Box
Lucky Patcher (to remove annoying ads)
Is it possible to update this to a newer OS and still have ROOT without tripping KNOX?

No, all the ways of rooting beyond KitKit will cause Knox to trip on a Samsung phone.
The easiest way to update and acquire root, would be to flash a new version, that is already rooted. There are several in the Android Development subforum here. GP2 is the most recent for this phone.
