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

Hi I have searched here and google but can't find a definite answer as I think it will be rom specific. Also annoying as my old account had enough posts to go straight to rom forum but cant access and its registered to a closed email address
Anyway, I have an s3 gt i9300 (international version - English Virgin mobile) and I have it rooted with Blekota's S5 lite V7.0 rom installed. Everything is working as it should etc and I would really like to keep the ROM. But in order to use my mobile banking app (Barclays) it needs to be unrooted. Is it possible with this ROM? I know some require root access to run and some don't.
Or is there a way of fooling the app that the phone is not rooted?
Is there a way I can safely unroot and if there are glitches just root again?
Should of said I have I have tried root cloak but doesn't work and I hit the unroot in SuperSU but it just hangs (waited 20 mins).
I rooted my S6 Edge using Ping Pong Root shortly after getting the phone, however I am yet to use anything that takes advantage of it. So, I'm hoping to unroot and get the latest OTA updates.
Can someone point me in the right direction as how to accomplish this please?
Just download lastest firmware and use it at Mobile Odin , it will unroot ur device with latest firmware.
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.
hey all so after doing some reading on how to reset knox counter on my s6 edge phone i began to wonder is it fesible to in some way force the phone to load a older more open version of android like 4.2 kit kat or before then use a program to reset the knox counter then reflash back to the newest updated version of marshmallow or in some way create a workaround that would force reset it by using older versions like a mini program build from the older ones that would allow a knox reset then reflash the phone using the original stock firmware..????
PS.SORRY FOR POSTING HERE BUT I DIDNT KNOW WHERE ELSE TO POST THIS ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED IN THIS MATTER ..

Hi jklein36
Your post is indeed correctly placed. No need to apologize :good:
As you didn't mentioned the exactly S6Edge version you have and which were you previous flashings, it will be hard to adventure answering your question.
By default, when you trip knox, there should be an eFuse burned that won't come back. But that may not be so in your case.
I would suggest you to engage in an already running discussion on the matter and from there go on further into your needs:

Please, let us know your findings.
Nice regards.

Sorry in advance if this is common knowledge. Semi-noob. I searched forums far and wide for past 3 days for this info.
Device: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935T (Snapdragon)
I have the latest Samsung/T-Mobile firmware installed (July 2019 update) with Binary 10.
In a nutshell:
From what I have gathered, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (T-Mobile) has a locked boot loader, which means that it CANNOT be rooted or modded (at this time). Is this entirely correct?
In detail:
I switched my phone service from T-Mobile to Safelink with the same phone and ported phone number. The warranty is expired, and I accept the risks. I want to get rid of T-Mobile bloatware on my unrooted device, and even install custom ROMs so that I can experiment with the possibility of better WiFi signal strength and other fun stuff. My phone is great, but it does not run as smoothly or fast as I would like it to.
Tutorial after tutorial has resulted in dead ends (SW Check Fail using Odin and download mode, Heimdall, etc.). The main issue seems to be that the binaries cannot be older than what I currently have installed, and I have the latest one, Binary 10.
It is my understanding that this cannot be navigated, unless I get off my butt and figure out how to exploit it myself. Is this correct?
If not, is there any way to get around this locked boot loader issue with the SM-G935T having the latest stock firmware (Binary 10)?
You guys rock.
Tap
I swear to god I've been strugling for solid 1 hour just to find a proper firmware binary 10 just like you. But it seems like worthless. If you find anything please help me *sob*
did you find the solution yet? cz am in the same situation right now, my phone is running on the latest binary 10 like you said...
