Hi,
i have bought a new S6 Edge and would like to install root with Ping Pong Mode on 5.02
This disables OTA updates.
So far understood.
But then how can i update in the future to 5.1.1 while staying rooted and without loosing fingerprint sensor etc. and without increasing knox?
Also a custom recovery would be gread without increasing KNOX
Any info about that would be great, thanks

IMPOSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE.
Did I mention it is impossible?
some variants can be updated to 5.1.1 however each technique requires a trade off.
To keep root, either you will trip knox, or you will lose the fingerprint sensor.
Which variant do you have?
The technique to use depends on your variant.
thanks for the info. i dont have any t mobile variant or sth. just ordered by amazon germany
or what do you mean?

When I ask which variant, I mean is it SM G925F, SM G925S etc. It should be written on the back of the phone.
it is sm g925f

Hi again,
I did again some reading and as far as i know so far i have some options, please correct me if I am wrong:
When I stay on 5.02:
- Rooting with Ping Pong Mode
- Knox wont be triggered
- Fingerprint Sensor is kept
- No update to 5.1.1 possible so far
- No custom recovery flashable without triggering KNOX???? <-- Is this right?
When I am on 5.1.1:
- Rooting without triggering KNOX is not possible
- Rooting with Unikernel and Autoroot
- Fingerprint Sensor and Edge functionality is kept
- What is the deal with the locked bootloader? How can i find out if mine is locked if I have 5.1.1? How can it be unlocked?
Thanks for help

Hi again,
I did some researching and wanted to know if i am correct.
What i thought was: Staying on 5.02 but rooted and with Fingerprint sensor and KNOX 0x0.
So what i would do:
- Base is 5.02
1. Engineering Bootloader flash with ODIN
2. Boot in Download mode and flashTWRP with ODin
3. Boot in Recovery and flash 5.02 Root Kernel (Hacker kernel/Hybridmax)
Is that correct=? Any thoughts / problems on this?
Thanks and regards

Hello.
I saw that there were several requests to create a forum for Galaxy A3 / A5 / A7, but without success. Therefore, I create this topic here in the Alpha series.
How to root the Samsung Galaxy A5 (my variant is A500M duos brazilian) without changing the Knox counter.
Tutorial:
1) Enable USB debugging on developer settings.
2) Download the KingRoot 4.0 apk in the official site and install it. ( http://kingroot.net/root/ )
3) Connected on the Internet, open the app and click the blue button and wait until 100%.
4) Ready. Device with root and Knox 0x0 (valid warranty).
I hope this helps.

cf-root file for Alpha dont touch knox,BUT TWRP recovery will void you garanty flashing this recovery
Will this even work with the alpha series??

Does this mean that if I root my galaxy alpha 850F with cf-root, and not installing the twrp or cm recovery my knox will be untouched? Because all I want to do is to root the device without any cm recovery.

Try KingRoot and tell us... maybe you do not miss anything by it.

Hi man, yea KingRoot is a new app for root almost devices without flash a custom recovery.. it use various exploits, and don't trip Knox counter..
Cf-autoroot is the best, but on Samsung devices it trip Knox...
your right,if we are tallking about A5
but for Alpha 850F cf-root is a law

3. Has anyone managed to root with KingRoot successfully without loosing warranty?
Thanks!

I can answer no.3 because ive done it and knox wasnt changed but i lost the possibility to update OTA. So now odin is the only solution to flash official lolipop.

Even if I don't root it, I will flash lollipop with Odin only, not OTA!
So kingroot can root galaxy alpha running lollipop without tripping Knox?
Hi guys. Very disappointed with L 5.0.2 on my A5.
1. Phone should have benefits of 64 bit, yet it is "stuck" with 32 bit. (Various benchmarks showing it).
2. The S Planer widget is gone after update!
3. The promised longer battery life is not fulfilled. Before on 4.4.4 was getting 2 and 1/2 days with one charge now the best I got is 1 day 8 hours.
More less decided to go back to KK 4.4.4.
Also no difference in phones performance. ..

Thanks ! When lollilop arrive in Brazil (SM-A500M duos), i will not upgrade.
well... back to KK4.4.4 and much better.
I was under impression than L5.x.x will unleash the full potential of 64 bit processor , but for now holding back to see what L 5.1.1 will do.
Till then I am OK with KK 444 as it doesn't cause any troubles, which I had on L 5.0.2...
Does anyone know of this works on the Alpha A3 (A300FU)?
--Edit--
Worked perfectly on the above model and did everything I needed.

Hey guys.. hope everyone is doing great! I have an S6 edge SM-G925F (Global) and want to root it.
I've heard that the fingerprint sensor will not work after root. Is it true?
I just want to use the sensor to unlock my phone. Is there any way to have root + fingerprint unlock?
Thanks a bunch

Untrue. Fingerprint scanner works with rooting. It will not work if you do not flash bootloader for 5.1.1 ROMS.
Simple as that.

Thanks for clarifying. So you mean to say if I root using Alex-V method, I would get my fingerprint and all functions to work, except that knox will be 0x1?
I have S6 edge rooted, and I want to unroot it. Anyone who can help?
just flash the stock firmware of your phone in odin.

Unrooting Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925F)
Hi. I'm a newby to all this rooting and custom ROM loading etc. After much deliberation, I managed to Root my Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F and load Lineage 15.1.
I have to admit, I followed video's on youtube and don't really know how it all works, but I managed to get it done.
However, now some of my apps, more particularly my banking apps, won't work, as some banks don't support rooted devices.
My question is, is it possible to unroot my device, without removing Lineage 15.1 ?
If so, can you please assist in doing so?
I've got TWRP 3.3.0-0 and I used Odin3=V3.10.6...
Hello Every One

Maybe is a hardware problem...
Why rooted and unlocked? Demo mode can be enabled and disabled in settings.
How did u root? This could be the problem.
If the problem existed before rooting, it's most likely disabled in your kernel (if you can see the setting in Security). Most likely because it's a demo cust. I'd try rebranding to something else.

i root the device for removing Retail App and install custom Kernel or Rom.
Rooting can break function ai unless you have rooted with magisk also the custom rom/ kernel can cause problems with the fingerprint.what rom or kernel are used?
Like ante says rebrand to 636 region.
Be careful don't use noxloader version.

So as I understand the SM-G965U is the only Verizon model that is CDMA and can be rooted.
I also understand that the bootloader is factory locked and cant be unlocked currently.
So as I understand it I cant load custom roms and I will be stuck with stock rom?
Is there a version that has bootloader factory unlocked and is CDMA capable?
So as I see I can root this model but with limitations such as
Cons
loss of finger print login
due to locked boot loader no customer roms only the stock rom?
loss of samsung pay and encrypted folder
loss of warrenty via tripped KNOX
Pro's
root access maybe some banking apps with Magisk
enable hot spot without monthly bribe to Verizon
any other pro's tips or gotchas I should know b 4 I buy this phone?
If you can not unlock the bootloader, which is the case. A limited root is not even worth the try...

You can install GSI if you want, which can let you run Android 10.
