Hello. Thanks for taking the time to look at this post.
I have been reading up on how to root my S6 Edge UK model SM-G925F. I must admit I have read to much on this I am completely lost and just need a pointer to a safe way to do so. I am a newish android user coming from iPhone and being used to jailbreak only.
I am concerned reading the issues with triggering knox and basically anything which is going to invalidate the warranty on my 3 day old S6 Edge.
Could anyone point me in the right direction and I really am sorry due to understanding this ha's been discussed in many threads.
Much appreciated. Mike.

Did you ever read the PingPongRoot thread?
It is the most popular root method for the Galaxy S6 Edge.
It also does not trip knox and is very easy to use.
I will share the link here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
Thanks for replying. I'll have a good read but don't think is works with my build number and I'm on .5.1.1
Cheers

Hi all,
I am very fresh to this forum. Even though I got my account created in 2006 on this website I never used it.
All over the internet and the forums people mention about rooting the phones. I never really cared about rooting my phone out of the fear of bricking it. So I always put that option away. Now its serious time to learn it, as I am understanding the real benefits of it.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note LTE SGH -i717D which is from the carrier Telus in Canada. How do I start of with rooting on this device? What is the latest version of Android available for this device for rooting? Are the custom ROMS really flawless?
Somebody please kindly help me get rid of the starting trouble I have.
Thanks all.

This has got to be the easiest method of rooting. It's what I've used on a few different phones and has never failed me!
Custom roms vary in stability. If they are based on source code they are going to be more stable than others. They will say "built from official source". Other roms can be just as stable depending on the developer and how much effort was put into the rom. You have to read the threads on the roms to compare issues if any, then pick the one you want to try.
The best advice I can give you is before you install or flash anything you verify it's for your device, and read the instructions at LEAST twice!
Welcome to xda ... I suggest you first read the xda rules. This is the general forum. Not for questions. There is a Q &A forum to ask questions in ... After searching.
That said ... Super everything thread is for you.

Admin, my intention isn't to hijack this thread. But I thought I'd ask prior to starting a new thread since I having the same concern, and before I get flamed. Please let me know which approach would be suitable to ask more questions while staying on topic.
I've been researching and reading tons of information everywhere. However I reached the conclusion that the more I read the more confusing it became. Whenever I thought I was ready to take the plunge, It's so overwhelming even figuring out what's current or what's outdated methods and files needed - I simply can't catch up without direct assistance.
OP: Thanks so much for starting this thread. For me, being a long time Android OS lover, yet entirely newbie when it comes to rooting jargons - I couldn't have said it any better - you took the words right out of my mouth!!!... The only tiny difference is that I have the SGH -i717R (Rogers).

Hi Lousk,
I know its really hard for a newbie to even think of where to start when it comes to rooting, because there are tons of information on rooting all over the internet and moreover confusion too. I learned it the hard way and I am glad to say now that I came out with flying colors. As with each official update, my device was getting totally sluggish, non responsive and out of all very little battery life. I couldn't stand this at all, one evening I sat on the internet, took the whole night before starting to do on anything with my device.
I didn't install any custom roms, but I rooted it which in turn helped me turn off a lot of services running in the background and also uninstall all the Samsung bloats, mainly the touchwiz. That thing is really resource hungry. Now my device is working at lightning speed and I have a feeling that it wont be obsolete in another 10 years.
I have all the files and also the instructions on rooting on my drive, unfortunately XDA is not allowing me to paste the link over here unless I have made 10 posts. They say it is just to prevent spams. If you are willing to give me your email id I can sent the link to you.
Go ahead and root your device to get the full potential of your unit.
Good luck,
Sumesh

You guys are great!
Hello all,
This is my first post here at XDA!
So Ive searched so please forgive me as I'm still learning quite a bit.. But having an MK2 GS4 - why am I only limited to using Safestrap and limited ROMS? Currently running Hyperdrive which is great, but found my S3 w/ IllusionRom to be MUCH more customizable and clean.
Again, I'm newer to rooting but why is it that everything seems limited right now? After reading and reading, it appears that developers are sort of dancing around voiding warranty and Knox software.. Will this be resolved at some point? I basically want to have the ability to flash some of these other cool aosp roms, etc. I could care less about voiding warranty's. I want all this stock rom warranty crap off my phone!
Thanks guys!
I'm not a developer, but it is my understanding that an unlocked boot loader is needed for the type of ROMs you want to flash. And the S4's bootloader is locked for every version other than MDK.

Naddict, thanks for moving my post to the appropriate thread.
I apologize if it appears I hadn't searched. However my question still remains unanswered. I have read the threads you suggested as well as many on my own.
Will the mk2 eventually be fully unlocked? Will the rest of us be able to run custom recoveries and flash more roms like MDK at some point?
Forgive me if this has been answered, but I'm still pulling the newb card and have yet to find an answer. I'm also a little impatient as I my s3 had many more options available.
Thanks again.

Don't really know how you can expect an answer to your questions. I don't know of anyone on these boards that can see into the future. Will MK2 be unlocked? Doesn't look like it, but who knows. All you can do is keep an eye on the forums and hope for the best.

This question you are asking has had countless threads and posts devote to the locked bootloader on the S4 since the release of ME7 firmware. Not to get cheesey here but asking if the bootloader willl be unlocked is a ridiculous as no one has an answer to that and dozens of devs have been working on it for months on their spare time. The only mechanism available is safestrap and we are lucky to have that working for us becasue sooner or later that will most likley be blocked down the road. If you want an honest answer, in my view, we probably will not have a bootloader exploit comparable to the one found for MDK. Devs are working on a Kerec exploit but haven't been able to find one yet. Samsung and other cell phone manuf are responding to the Carriers requirements of having an unhackable phones because the enterprise customers are making that a requirement. The hacking community is a factional component of sales and if you want a phone for running custom ROMS, best save your money and get a DEV phone as that is the most likely way to do it.

I have high hopes that some talented person or group will eventually find a work around for this boot loader issue whether safestrap(hashcode) figure out a kexec exploit. Or another Loki type exploit is found. The most current thread on this situation can be found in general and surge1223 is the op. But your right from a custom ROM standpoint the s3 is in a better position. Good luck.

Thanks for all the feedback and again, I apologize if these questions have been covered or are seemingly up answerable.
As I originally stated, I am a newb. Simply jealous of the mdk guys. I'd like some more freedom and thought going from S3 to S4 wouldn't change much as far as customizable options. Guess I should have done more research..

Hit up Swappa like I did and grab a MDK S4 and wait for it to come like a Lil kid at Christmas....
Which is what I'm doing. Or jump ship over to like... Sprint and trip your Knox flag and install CWM.
Or... Rob a bank so you can afford a dev edition S4.
Swappa it is..

Sorry if I'm rude, but I'm sick and tired of people clogging up the forums because they did something they weren't supposed to do. THERE IS NO ROOT METHOD FOR THE S6 EDGE PLUS! There is no firmware you can download to my knowledge, so you might be screwed, I'm afraid... Also, if KNOX detects that you made changes to the /system partition (most likely what happened here) it will brick your device and there's no way you can fix it. You have to pay for a full replacement ($650 I believe). Let this be your lesson. Only do something to your device if:
1. It's ment for your device
2. It's been proven to work
Once again, sorry if I'm being really rude and unhelpful right now, but, as I said above, there is no root method and I'm sick and tired of people who think they know what they're doing but really don't and then they come crying to us asking to magically fix their device.
Sincerely,
Nick

Yes you are rude and a jerk. And you should be banned from this site. I was about to ask a question, related to this post, but I quit. You did mistakes, you did something you shouldn't do and you did get help from others, I'm 100% sure. But you seems to forgot that, and you get sick of people who needs help. You should see a doctor and get better, if you are so sick. I'm leaving this site, it seems that people who made a mistakes can't fit in. THIS SITE IS POPULATED ONLY BY MASTERS. So, **** off MASTER!

I'm sorry for exercising my first amendment right. You can't ban me for that. Also, I kind of answered this person's question. Here's what I basically said without the ranty parts:
1. There's no way to root this device
2. There's no firmware (at least for the Verizon variant) for this phone.
3. KNOX may have bricked his/her device due to the modification of the /system partition.
1 is the reason, 2 is the answer, and 3 is the explanation. The 3 parts of conducting an effective answer to a question.
OP, your best bet is to try to call Samsung or Verizon and try to lie your way into getting a free replacement. I did that for when I accidentally wiped my entire internal storage on a Kindle Fire 2nd gen. All I said is it all of a sudden started doing what problem I was having, and they said they would send out a free replacement.
Best of luck,
Nick

I have to agree its all over this board that there is no root for this phone as of right now. It should be obviously clear when you go in to the development section and its blank. Just because one carrier has a phone that's rootable doesn't mean the root works on other devices carriers.

This is exactly what I was trying to say. We can all hope that there will be a root method soon, but for now, don't go doing something that you aren't supposed to do to your certain phone yet.

Good evening all,
New member, long time lurker. I'm completely new to rooting, and thought I had found an easy way to do it with the one click rooters, however I am discovering it might be a bit more awkward than that with my phone.
I have a s7 edge (32gb), Android 7.0, model number G935F, baseband XXU1DQD7. Im really lost right now, is it actually possible to root my phone? I dont mind if i void the warranty as i think its out anyway lol.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks a bunch!
hi guys,
I don't want to take up too much of your time,
do you have a noob friendly tutorial so i can learn what all csc is etc.? in the past (15 years ago with galaxy s2) there was a program called odin, you could flash all the stuff with it.
the other day i had to remove samsung knox for a customer, i found a very good program i only had to click on 2 things and bang it was gone.
that's why I'm asking here, because I'm sure there are easier tools than this now. but feel free to give me a basic tutorial and I'll read through it.
I don't need a thread that explains everything to me now, I just want a few tips and I'll rummage through them.
thx
Don't bother. Samsung phones have evolved to a point root is no longer needed.
Enjoy your new gadget!

Odin is still relevant, knox cannot be removed, you can trip it and loose warranty.
