seen it
I already seen. That post and it says nothing about the s6 active it only says about the s6 edge and original. Not really sure if I should keep the phone and wait for a root solution or bring it back and pay the restocking fee and get something that is already supported

I just bought a Galaxy S2 from HSN.com (http://www.hsn.com/products/samsung-galaxy-sii-no-contract-smartphone-t-mobile/1062786 )
and wish to ultimately use Lycamobile on it but I understand that I have to SIM Unlock it. I also understand it comes with 2.3 I believe and I'd like to go to something 4.2.2.
I've seen a lot of threads but I'm confused as to the exact steps that actually WORK TODAY.
I'm used to my Galaxy Nexus so know a little but this seems a bit different.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
What model number is it; what does the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery say ?
The right direction is the T-mobile S2 forum (T989)
This is the I9100's forum, so yeah, you're in the wrong place.
Ask a mod to move this Q over there.

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

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.

I am trying to root a US (Sprint) Samsung S9+ Snapdragon phone. Have rooted plenty of phones in the past but have not done so in the last few years. It seems Samsung has really locked down the US based phones.
I have looked all over the place and spent about 5 hours trying to figure this out just to end up at square one. Can not unlock the bootloader it seems.
My main goal is to get the phone rooted, be that on a custom rom or stock.
I hate to post here and look like I am being lazy but I am lost. Would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction?

Yep TYVM, got it up and running with root.
this is exactly why i asked the Samsung Mods to put up a sticky about the S9 and S9+ now having root. Zero offense to the OP if any offense was taken

You obviously didn't even try searching for it before you came here, or, if you did search, you didn't put much real effort into finding it. You took the lazy approach and came here to ask instead.

Ok. Rude. I have been looking but the one I have found is only updated to February. I was seeing if anyone had an update that's been updated recently

The tab S3 is an old device, most devices don't get new ROMs at such an age as this device. In fact, very few devices have ongoing development past 2-4 years after the device's release to the market because the developers that owned those devices and were creating development for those devices have moved on to their next device by then and have started developing for their new devices.
I wasn't being rude, my point was, there is quite a bit of development for the Tab S3 here and that it isn't hard to find and isn't hidden under a rock here. Therefore, a simple search of the forum using your device name/model number will easily find any and all threads/ROMs/development pertaining to Tab S3. If you did such a search and didn't find anything that satisfies you then what you are looking for doesn't exist here. If you found the "official" LOS 17.1 ROM thread for tab S3 then you found the most current version, any new updates would be in that thread, there wouldn't be another thread for a different version unless someone has built an "unofficial" version and it probably wouldn't be as well developed as the official version.
If you have, in fact, been looking but haven't found anything better, didn't you even consider that it might be because it doesn't exist? Or did you assume that it "has to be here" but just isn't showing up?
The latter was probably your assumption and you posted your question in the hope that someone else would do the deep digging to find it, if it exists, so you would not have to continue the search yourself. That is, by definition, laziness, hence, the lazy approach.
