Easy root method - upgrade or not - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Rooting and Unrooting & Airwatch

I plan to root my Samsung Galaxy S Grand(the single SIM edition not the DUAL) to be able to update the phone to 4.3 or 4.4 and to be able to uninstall all the carrier software branded application. I would also the install a custom ROM. In other words I want to make my phone a "Google Play Edition" style, like they did with the HTC ONE & Samsung Galaxy S3. The ROM would then have to be a standard basic android ROM.
I plan to root with Kingo.
Here is then my problem, to be able to receive my work e-mail to my phone I need to have the Airwatch MDM Application installed, which then requires a non-rooted phone to work.
So would I be then able to Root my phone, install a custom ROM and then un-root my phone with the custom ROM and install the Airwatch App and getting it to work?
Anyone has any tips to offer? Is there a great guide of how to install a new ROM? Thanks!

First thing the kingo android root is the best rooting software in my opinion even though there is no air play in it so i contact them and told that they will have a new update for the software
so, if you want a custom rom on your device then go to google play an type in rom manager or goo manager both are the same
for any inquiries just mail me a message or just replay it:laugh::laugh::laugh:

I have the same challenge. So far I was able to succesfully use Airwatch on custom roms up to 4.2.2 on my Galaxy S4. After installing and tweaking the custom rom you need to remove root from the rom. From then onwards Airwatch is fine. As soon as you root again Airwatch will detect it and disconnect your phone from the service.
On the S4 on Android 4.3 and 4.4 roms Airwatch wants to use the Knox containers which is only available on stock firmware.
Any custom rom will fail therefore because Knox will be disabled on custom roms.
I am not sure if Knox will be part of the firmware on your phone as well, if not, you can try the approach above with removing root before start using Airwatch
I know this is an old thread, but for anybody who stumbles across it, I have created a module that should fix these issues:

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!

It does if it flashes a custom bootloader or kernel.
Is this the case no matter what version OS of the phone you have?

S6 Edge root is it really that easy

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

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

Help me rooting my phone

Hi everyone ?.
So I have been thinking and I want to root my Galaxy Alpha, something that I have been thinking by a long time... But I know absolutely nothing about root because I had never rooted a device ?. I want to root my device because people say that the real Android experience comes with root, I want to install some other roms (I'm bored of the original one) and I want to change the emojis too ?. But I really need help, I have some questions... After I root my device is there a possibility of revert everything and put it in the original form? (You know, if it needs to go to guaranty) and what are the worst parts of being rooted? (Security problems and everything?)?. After that how do I root my device? I have the SM-G850F Alpha unlocked. I'm in the 5.0.2 Android version (need another data? Please tell) and how do I install roms? Thanks for everything
