The title says everything. The last time I tried to root a device was the 2012 Nexus 7. It was very painless with that device, but that's to be expected with a Nexus device. As of right now, I'm very confused as to how to root this S6. I am on Marshmallow 6.0.1, with the G925I variant of the device. I don't care about voiding warranty or not using Samsung Pay, as it seems Samsung doesn't want to release that for the G925I variant.
Hopefully once I get root and install Cyanogenmod I can get much better battery life, as right now Google Services is taking up >40 percent of my battery and I have to charge a couple times a day. I have tried everything I can think of, but I figured screw it.
TL;DR: Basically, can anyone write out a step by step procedure for getting root and installing Cyanogenmod on an S6 Edge 6.0.1 G925I?

Unfortunately Cyanogenmod doesn't work with the S6 Edge (or S6) some devs managed to get it booted but couldn't get much further thanks to samsung's closed source
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...development/cyanogenmod-13-galaxy-s6-t3269984
your best bet is to root and flash a rom of your choice, install Xposed and tame Google Services with Amplify
And why would anybody care about cm for the s6?? It's more or less a preview of something that'll never be. If your out for aosp roms you bought the wrong device

Flash custom ROM
Video with links to files, and other hopefully useful info. FOR A SOLUTION!
I had a really long post with useful info containing an answer maybe not "the answer" Wanted me to instead post a comment.. Below are the instructions on how to do it according to a Youtube Video I found. While I haven't tried this method, It looks sound to me, they've included all the files needed in a link to MEGA. I'll re-share without the password / decryption key if the poster agrees only.. I do highly suggest Phoenix ROM if you're on a kltevze, it come included with eveyrthing you're looking for and I've used it before In fact, I tried it last night but was unable to get into my phone past the boot password screen I think because the system ui kept crashing. while I have used this version, I may try twelve, since I prefer AOSP or LOS based roms, I want as light as possible maybe even removing google and going with MICRO G which I used fairly successfully for over a month, It isn't perfect, sometimes the location addon apps crash, but there are many, and it may just be that the ones I was using crashed, and not the ones you need yourself.. But MICRO G is worth the piece of mind to me coming from an encrypted phone, No I have nothing to hide really but Alphabet/Google already know enough about me through the use of their "FREE and Very Handy I might add, Services Ahem) By the way, Phoenix can be used with either an unlocked bootloader or safestrap if not.. Just get the right one.. I may end up going with a rooted deodexed TW rom, and add xposed to get the features I love from RR and other LOS based ROMS. With further ado, heres the link to the youtube instructional video I found, I really wish it was written out or could simple installed as a flashable zip which shouldn't be hard to make, but it is what it is for now.. And again seems correct to me if you don't want o go with a custom rom like Phoenix for kltevzw.
Well upon testing the Youtube link didn't play so here it is both Title for searching and another link. Install Galaxy S7 Touchwiz on S5! (Marshmallow) /URL]

I used Heimdal to flash to a more recent factory TW before flashing Phoenix which requires at least PB1. I think. Check their OP under user JKRUSE or near the top of the VZE dev thread.
This is Heimdal as found in synaptic from a buntu based distroand should be the same in any Debian based or any other distro for that matter as I've found it in many repos for different distro's, I think a ppa is available with newer builds, but don't hold me to that.
Heimdall <- commandline version.
Heimdall is a tool for flashing firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy S
devices over a USB connection. It accomplishes this using the same
protocol as Odin, Samsung's internal Windows-only firmware updater.

If I do either agian soon, I'll report back with results. Again, I know Phoenix worked fine. But I'd imagine a plain TW rooted ROM that you debloat yourself and maybe add Xposed for many features found in Phoenix and in AOSP/LOS based ROM's such as RR/CR-DROID for those who prefer additional tweaking and other enhancements. Again I trouble just last night with the latest V15 of Phoenix on boot and don't know why other than my fully ecnypted device and password on boot feature But either way again if you test before me let me know the result as well. I do need a new battery for mine since it's the one it came with but that's a story for another thread, when I bought my S5 last spring for beans, (with the unlockable BL, I had to have it since my S3 had died. and I couldn't afford a new phone) and I could easily get a day plus when service is good with about 4+ hours SOT. But lately I'm using charging by the end of the day. Haven't decided yet on a stock Sammy battery or a more expesive, Thicker, heavier, but much longer lasting extended battery.
Sorry for such a long winded post. All my posts are this way if you know me. I do apologize and need to be more brief but I'm more of a lurker and searcher for what I need to know and post very seldom especially with this much what I think could be useful to someone.
If it happens to be useful please hit the "Thankss" button, it could help here, and even when looking for a job as I am... Hahahaha.. Getting laid off work blows in my area of the country.
Thanks and Happy New Year to all those who celebrate it during this time of year, if not Happy New Year when it arrives and I wish the best for everyone on the Planet. Stay informed and don't believe everything you read/hear/watch... #NoAgenda #ITM.

2 never update to latest android os if you don't guarantee root access
No unlock bootloader, no root since MM. It's not the end of the world but life could be better with it, say enable AptX on this phone. If something you'd like to achieve feel free to share, in case there is a rootless workaround that comes close.

you talkied about APTX what is it that .. and show me the solution
so as i see here .;there is no root for this phone now or any soon future
Nope, don't feel too bad, there's nothing much you can do these days with root unless custom ROM is your thing or you're on stock ROM closed to AOSP , which not including LG UX. Trust me, I have rooted device which is Asus Zenfone 3. My banking app won't open due to security risk of being rooted. You can try virtual xposed with at least few usable mods, but LG V10 getting warm due to Virtual Xposed running in the background, so I gave it up.

I am brand new to XDA and the Android mod world. I am looking into the possibility of purchasing, rooting, unlocking the Bootloader and installing either a Custom ROM or AOSP on a SM-N950U T-Mobile US/Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy Note 8. The goal is privacy and the hope is that these elements can be included:
+Latest Android OS possible
+MicroG (no GAPPS)
+SPenCommand* App
+XPosed Framework (for more advanced SPenCommand features)
+F-Droid
+Retain or add back in as much T-Mobile functionality as possible.
*Unless a Samsung based ROM exists retaining S-Pen functionality with no GAPPS.
There will be other Apps/Utilities I am sure, however, this is the main bundle I am desiring. Since I am just starting out, I do have some questions:
+Is all of this possible on the “SM-N950U” Note 8 Model?
+If so, what ROM options are available?
+Is there a LineageOS with MicroG ROM for this phone?
+Does the Note 8’s 80% Battery situation exist using a ROM?
+I’ve read of TWRP and Magisk, do these have any relevance to this process?
+Do you know what “XPosed Framework” Module(s) I would need?
+If all of this needs to be pieced together to work, do you know what files I would need?
+Are there any other apps/files you would suggest?
+Any newbie Tutorials you would recommend?
+Would a Note 4, Note 9 or Note 10+ be better options?
What I have been reading so far is a lot to take in and I appreciate any help received.

Not going to happen. You'll need to do some research because the N950U has a locked bootloader and there is currently NO WAY to unlock the bootloader so you can't flash custom roms like that.. However if you buy the international version which is N950F you'll be able to do that..

Thanks MrMike!
Do you know if the N950F Model can be setup to retain all T-Mobile features like VoLTE, WiFi Calling, etc? Is there a better International Model Note (9 or 10?) that retains or can be configured to work mostly or fully with T-Mobile's Network? I appreciate your time.
The only way you will get those features on International version is if a developer were to include multi csc in the rom you flash

Hey guys. I know maybe some of you guys already did that years ago and that I am pretty late with it right now but I havent seen a thread where this was mentioned in (maybe I was just too lazy to look everywhere) but I recently made a video on how to get the Samsung Experience 8.1 Features on the S6/edge without any root or custom rom. Originally, we only got Experience 8.0, according to Wikipedia, however it isnt even mentioned in the Device Info page (if you ask me, they should have waited a few more weeks and should have given us Android 7.1.1 directly like the J5 2016 or SE 8.1 with 7.0 like the S5 Neo).
However, thanks to API 24 / Android 7.0, we are able to get nearly 80% of the Samsung Experience 8.1 Features, by updating the stock apps and TouchWiz Launcher manually. We can even get Bixby Home with that method. Things you will not be able to change are the general look of the UI (Lockscreen, Settings, QuickPanel), however you can install AOD Display, which will then be shown in the Settings. S6 edge+/Note 5 users will also benefit more from this, as they already got some S8 functions inside their firmware like changing Screen resolution or being able to activate Boostmode. The tutorial should be applicable to every Samsung device that runs Android 7.0 (A-2016 series/J-2016 series)

No. Please only use the versions I linked in the video. If you install a more recent version of TouchWiz/Bixby, they might start to crash. You can try though

Hello,
I recently acquired a refurbished S9+ and as many other people, I realise now that someone must have been messing around with the internal software. This is my secondary phone so it's no big deal but I would like to understand what was done on it nevertheless, and maybe turning it back to a cleaner state, if possible, and if it has not too many drawbacks.
-apparently, Samsung Pay is not working. It hangs indefinitely on the screen where you must choose the type of security.
-when looking into the Play Store settings, the device is not certified
-WiFi calls apparently are unavailable
-OTA update is not working (nothing happens when I try to check for an update manually. What's more, no information about the last update is available. By the way, the phone software is outdated. (last Android security fix is dated from Feb 2019)
From what I read, it looks like the CSC was modified, right ? Would it be a good idea to change it back to original ? (I may need some guidance about that but we are not there yet) Would such a procedure restore, for instance, the OTA update feature ?
(see pictures attached - there is what is written on the phone's back cover too, if it can help)
Thank you very much in advance. Please tell me if you need some other specific screenshots.
PS : I also bought a Note 10+ from the same refurbisher and it ended up being a Korean model. But the firmware seems clean. I know Samsung Pay won't work in France, WiFi calls either, and I will be stuck in "LTE" 4G instead of 4G+ but at least OTA updating is functionnal (I got an update a few days ago) and honestly ? That's fine with me for the price.
Anyone ?
From what I've read researching on similar issues, the previous owner who messed around with the internal software must've flashed custom firmware on your S9+, and probably tripped Knox (and is why your Samsung Pay app won't work). According to some developers on here, you're able to hide the fact that you've rooted the phone, but I don't think you can un-trip Knox once it's been done.
Prior to your post, I didn't know a single thing about CSC and I'm not sure how it's really relevant when flashing a mobile device (unless it's carrier-related), but I think all that's required when flashing a device is the model number. Luckily, I stumbled upon a thread that is actually your exact, same model! Do what you please with it, and I hope I helped — I'm not a professional, nor am I really knowledgeable about all of this stuff, but I'm trying.
This is the thread I was talking about:
Official Stock Firmware Thread (11 August 2022) - Galaxy S9+ (SM-G965F)
UPDATE (7 APRIL 2022): Samsung has officially declared the Galaxy S9 and S9+ EOL. They will no longer be supported, and FVB4 will most probably be the final build for this device. Latest stable firmware: G965FXXUHFVG4 / G965FOXMHFVB4 /...

You're welcome! Was it what you were searching for?
Not sure, but I hope it will help me understand the firmware/CSC stuff better
Alright so apparently this phone actually is a SM-965N, judging by what is displayed when booting into download mode.
Unfortunately I only saw this after starting a flashing attempt with Odin and now it's stuck at "system.img" so... I'm gonna let it run a few more hours but...
It's most likely bricked at this point, isn't it ? (edit : interestingly, after I forced-closed Odin and reboot the phone, it was not)
If you ask me I find this kind of "refurbishing" a little bit sketchy to say the least.
