Hi all.
I dont know if someone already knows this by i'm asking also for myself
I know that there is a way (i.e. ping pong root-tested by me) to root out s6 (edge) without tripping knox only if we are on 5.0.2 with 5.0.2 bootloader. And i know there is a way to flash even without a custom recovery (i.e. flashfire -not confirmed).
So....is it possible to downgrade from totally stock 5.1.1 to 5.0.2?
After that....Is it really possible to flash rom ZIP using flashfire?
In this way the theorically have 5.1.1 rom (with root) with 0x0 counter, right?
Thanks in advance

I dont think if there is any way to root 5.1.1 without tripping Knox. There are lots of people waiting to root 5.1.1 without tripping knox (including me )
yes i know ON 5.1.1 we cant (at least, for now). by the way, i mean not to root 5.1.1 but to downgrade to the rootable 5.0.2 and AFTER to flash 5.1.1 using flashfire that doesnt use custom recovery.

As far as I know, downgrading is still virtually impossible. For example here:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
and especially here:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/general/psa-odin-5-1-1-t3136151

Downgrading is virtually impossible at the minute. And rooting 5.1.1 without voiding KNOX is also virtually impossible, unless you are on the F variant.
where there are creative ways to get it done with the leaked 5.0.2 engineering bootloader, but you lose fingerprint scanner functionality.
I have been sitting on the 5.0.2 waiting for news of a 5.1.1 root, but it seems as if there is none forthcoming :<
Hopefully the Marshmallow update bring us some good vulnerabilities.

I am S6 edge 5.1.1, rooted. Just flash the Uni-kernel （there inclodes root access）. It perfectly works for my device only shows on boot that kernel is not seandroid enforcing. But it works perfectly.
So you're still 0x0 knox?

So I've seen it done on a Verizon and AT&T Models, but not on a TMobile and i have some questions,
Will it work on my device? (Given my specs below)
Will this brick my device?
Will it trigger Knox?
Just Root and SuperUser Right? No Custom Roms?
How much trust should i put into this developer?
SM-G900T
4.4.2
Kernel : May 23 2014
Security: Release 3
> Any other things i should tell about my device, to help you, help me?
(I Already know the steps to use TowelRoot)
That is how I rooted my phone back with the original software.
If you are running the newest stock version you will need to downgrade first.
Newer kernels have patched the exploit used by towelroot.
..
Rooted my phone on the same exact kernel about 2 weeks ago and it is still (as of today) 0x0 NO KNOX triggered meaning my phone is still safe from knox 0x1, I have not had a single problem rooting or using rooted apps, your safe with the towel root any other questions just ask
Just purchased two TMO S5 to retire my two S4. Used towel root on both phones and it work without any issue. Did the Philz CWM recovery but still waiting for the Rom Mgr version to appear.

I used Towelroot with same software as you have currently. All went fine.
Worked on my new T-mobile S5.. I used this method on my prior AT&T S as well.
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

join the question. if ill give up knox, fingerprint will work perfectly?
and if ill do root without tripping knox will fingerprint wont work at all forever??
i have OTA updated to 5.1.1
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.
Well it's been a while since I've checked, but Im having a lot of trouble rooting my phone. Ive figured since the s7 is out, maybe someones done it without tripping knox on my model
I almost dont really care about knox
But id prefer one that doesnt trip it just in case.
Galaxy S6 Edge
5.1.1
G925-T

Can someone help me? Im really trying get NetHunter on my phone
5.1.1 cannot be rooted eithout tripping knox because it requires flashing a kernal that roots the phone and that kernal is housed in the boot partition. Marshmallow can be rooted by the old method of flashing twrp and flashing a supersu flashable zip. So unless Im wrong (may a someone correct me if so) 5.1.1 cannot be rooted without tripping knox. Idk if flashing twrp will trip on marshmallow so do some research on that. If it doesnt there you go all you have to do is wait for it then. If not then its not possible as far as i know. I cant tell you MM wise because i tripped my knox on L5.1.1

I recently just upgraded to 5.1.1 on my Note edge and was wondering if there was a safe way to upgrade to marshmallow without losing my root. I've seen people say you can use FlashFire to install an Android OTA update without losing root but I don't know If I can trust that. If somebody can let me know if FlashFire can upgrade my device without me losing root I would appreciate it.
I have a similar thread on this as well. I wanted to know if there was a way to safely upgrade to marshmallow from 4.4.4 without losing root. Links and suggestions would be great because the only thing I know of is to flash it to stock without root then update. Thanks
