adb root access - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When using adb linux with rooted s6 edge running stock 5.1.1, I cannot get root on the phone. I get the message "adb cannot run as root in production builds" .
Is this problem resolved by installing a custom kernel from this site? Thx, Gus

SGP561 - Help installing recovery to root

I got a replacement Tab from sony and I'm having trouble rooting it with the updated firmware. Seems the only real way to do it is to have a custom recovery installed, however I am having trouble with that. When I try installing a recovery through fastboot flash command I get an error FAILED: Remote: Command not Allowed.
The installer version of XZDual just hangs at install.
Has anyone else on Verizon tab found any other ways of rooting after the latest update?

You have to downgrade firmware off 4.4.4 and root,
Got it working. I didn't know I had to have the unknown sources checked. Also I didn't realize I was plugged into a 3.0 port in the back of my PC, so that didn't help. Thanks for the help.
I have a Verizon Z2 LTE SGP561 with the latest update of 4.4.4 and i managed successfully to Root it with the latest KingRoot apk.
It was very easy - just download the KingRoot apk to your device , run it from the device and it will do the work.
After it will complete you will have KingRoot user which is the superuser app for permission, no need to install SuperUser of SuperSU.
I checked with root-checker to verify and indeed it was rooted.
even though the bootloader is locked you are rooted.
I managed to remove all Verizon bloatware apps.
You can find the latest KingRoot apk in the following link:

Thanks, I'll try this if I get another replacement device. This one has a dead pixel in it.

Cannot Root 5a

Hi everybody,
I have tried to root my Tablet S but it doesn'T work. I am on the 5a Firmware and I am using the AiO Tool v6.5. When trying to root it begins rooting, says it is rooted and then the restartes the device. When I check for root there is none. I cannot do any of the other options of the tool as they all need root and the tool tells me "su binary not found". SuperSu isn't installed either. Any way to downgrade and root or force root? I cannot flash any other ROM via recovery as it gives me an error when I try. Am I stuck with unrooted 5a now!
UPDATE: No I cannot even get a ROM installed. I can get into recovery and thats it. Any update fails because of "Erohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku". ADB doesn't recognize the tablet so my only option is some flashing over SD Card but how?!
Please help:crying:
Cheers!

Bricked HDX 7, safestrap 4.01 (TWRP v2.7.1.0)

Just got my new to me hdx 7 in the mail, decided to root and install nougat..
Downgraded to 4.5.2 and installed root via kingroot.
Was having problems unlocking the bootloader so I found a method to install cm11 withoutunlockijg bootloader. I got safestrap installed, and installed lineage 14 instead of cm11, and then got stuck in recovery loop, tried factory reset (mistake), and all the unbrick utilities I could find... im so frustrated with this can anyone help please?
updates
adb devices shows
+
D0FBA0A034540445 recovery
keep getting su not found so im assuming the root is no longer good.. please anyone??
SOLVED
Ok I was able to fix this with searching and trial and error, it took me about 5 hours total but all i did was adb push 4.5.5.1 stock rom and it works now.. making backups for now on!!!! thanks anyway !

Impossible root?

So, I have a vivo y55 (marshmallow, 6.0.1), which I BADLY want to root. I know that vivo is considered as 'unrootable', and no guide is present to fully root a vivo device, but yet, I managed to install twrp and installed xposed framework on it.
The problem comes when I try to root it. Installing magisk results in a bootloop, but installing supersu doesn't do so, but I still get no root. On running su in terminal, I get 'operation not permitted' error.
On checking the kernel logs, I saw that the process 'daemonsu' exits with status 0. Is that normal?
The strange thing is, placing scripts in su.d folder DO work (I've only tested the one which makes selinux permissive, though). And after booting the supersu-modified boot.img, the phone doesn't recognize if it's been connected to a computer, so it only keeps on charging, and adb doesn't work, too. All I want to ask is, is there a solution?

Information on how to root android FLUO N

Hi, thank you in advance for everything
I have bought one year ago a so&so phone (65$ on AE) : a FLUO N device.
It isn't a good phone, but it the least but not last i could choose at that time.
Well, all i want to do is to root it with supersu or with other tool. I can't find any recovery tool compatible for the device so in my lack of knowledge i haven't find any method to root this android 8.1 phone. KingRoot doesn't work, KingoRoot idem. Neither framaroot or other. I want to try magisk but it seems that it's a root tool but i can use it only if phone is already rooted. It seems that i can root it with a recovery tool, but it seems that i can't install a recovery tool if my phone isn't already rooted (and i can't find any recovery tool compatible with this little $hit )
I really hope that i'm wrong and so i'm here asking.
So i'm here asking if there's a method to root it simply by adb pushing a file in it. In Developer options it has "Unblock OEM -- It allows to unblock bootloader" enabled.
There's something i can do?
Thanky you so much in advance again.

To root a device's Android neither Magisk nor any Custom Recovery ( TWRP et. al ) is needed. SuperSU should do the job.
If i dowload and install supersu apk when i open it this is what it says "Root undetected -- How To Root". If i click "how to root" it redirects me to supersu.com/faq/howtoroot that fails to load.
Now, i download either supersu apk that flashable zip. Is there a method to flash supersu.zip without a TWRP/CWM?
TWRP: doesn't exist a package for this phone. Does exist a generic twrp image for every android 8.1 ?
CWM: i could install it from Rom Manager but to do so the phone need to be already rooted. Or where can i find a cwm.img to be installed by adb and fastboot?
So without custom recovery, could i use my phone recovery and adb sideload to push supersu.zip ?
Thank you again
