[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wonderingabout:
Here is how you root g925t and g920t on 5.1.1 without tripping knox. All credit for rooting method go to original developers. I in no way take any credit for their hard work whatsoever.

Download These Files

1. Samsung USB Drivers (Click here)

2. Odin v3.10.6

3. SuperSu v2.49

4. UniKernel

5. Auo's v4 kernel

6. Auo's TWRP v12

7. sboot.bin for G925T (s6 edge tmobile)

7b. sboot.bin for G920T (s6 tmobile)

If you plan on using the Unikernel to root your g925t or g920t on 5.1.1 use these steps

1. Install Samsung USB Drivers if necessary.

2. Put phone into download mode. Power phone off then press and hold Volume down, home and power keys at same time until you see warning screen then let go and hit volume up one time.

3. Plug phone in and wait for drivers to install if necessary.

4. Open odin you should now see phone's modem port highlighted in blue.

5. Click on BL tab and select correct sboot.bin that you downloaded above. Then click start.

6. When phone comes back on power off again and put into download mode.

7. Open odin again and this time select AP tab and select UniKernel file and click start.

8. That is it!!! When it comes back on phone will be rooted. To verify that knox has not been tripped go back to download mode and it should still say KNOX WARRANTY: 0 (0X0000)

If you plan on using Aou's Kernel and TWRP to root your G925T on 5.1.1 (DO NOT USE THIS FOR G920T) use the steps below

1. Install Samsung USB drivers if necessary.

2. Copy and Paste SuperSU v2.49 on the root folder of your phone's internal memory.

3. Put phone into download mode. Power phone off then press and hold Volume down, home and power keys at same time until you see warning screen then let go and hit volume up one time.

4. Plug phone into computer and let drivers install if necessary.

5. Open odin and click on BL tab and select sboot.bin file for g925t and click start.

6. When phone is back on put back into download mode again.

7. Open odin again and this time select AP tab and flash Aou's TWRP file and hit start.

8. When phone is back on put phone into download mode one last time.

9. Open odin and select AP tab and select Aou's v4 kernel and click start.

10. When phone is back on unplug it and power it off and put into recovery mode (Volume up, home and power keys)

11. When TWRP recovery is open click on install tab and select supersu file and swipe to flash it. then reboot phone to system.

12. That is it!!! When it comes back on phone will be rooted. To verify that knox has not been tripped go back to download mode and it should still say KNOX WARRANTY: 0 (0X0000)

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU FLASH THE FILES IN THE ORDER THE INSTRUCTIONS TELL YOU TO FLASH THEM!!!

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

If for some reason after you flash UniKernel and phone screen turns white after on main screen for few seconds Just flash Aou's v4 kernel. That will fix that issue if it happens and you will still be rooted.

Do you want to see my unicorn now LOL :p
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mythos234:
Yes, because I still don't see why this shouldn't trip Knox. It's basically flashing.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wonderingabout:
It all has to do with the BOOTLOADER file (sboot.bin). If you have a samsung engineering bootloader you can do anything without tripping knox and it turns off write protections as well. :)

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] z0code0z:
would this work on the sm-g925p?? (sprint version of s6 edge)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wonderingabout:
Nope sorry, just the G925T and G920T :(
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] z0code0z:
alrighty, i really need the stock kernel for g925p, the latest one but cant find it anywhere
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wonderingabout:
What is the baseband version?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] z0code0z:
i cantcheck since the touch screen wont work after flashing a boot.img but the firmware version is g925pvpu2bof7

edit: g925pvpu2bof7 is the baseband version
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] :
how do you root the stock 5.1.1. tmobile gs6 (not edge) rom? i dont care about knox
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] datajosh:
There's no TAR out yet for that version. I have the stock kernel for OF7 on the G920P (the standard S6) but I don't think that'll help you.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] z0code0z:
im willing to try anything at this point, could you pm me a download link please?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Mig1234:
Messed up

Even though I read this thread I was given advice that this Kernel might work on the Sprint version 920P. It does not. So I can boot but at the start screen I can't use the touch screen. It does boot and I can't get into recovery. I found a recovery that lets me get into recovery but it's not my model's (g925t_of6_aou_stock_recovery.tar).

Can someone make a Kernel like this one but for the 920P? Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wonderingabout:
You need to flash the sboot.bin, cm.bin, boot.img and system image back. Do no flash cache with these files the first time. What baseband version is your g920p if i can find the rom for it i can extract what you need
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] z0code0z:
i did the same thing, and now my touch screen wont work at all, good to know that im not the only one experiencing this. i also had to use that recovery.

for now we just have to wait for the firmware to come out, whenever that is
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] whittikins:
Is this kernel supposed to be capped at 1500 mhz?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] datajosh:
It's possible to fix that now, but it requires manual writing of a system image with dd. Let me see if I can make a flashable ZIP since this is becoming a bit of a common occurrence.

Edit: I forgot, that's not going to work for most people because we don't have an updated version of TWRP.

Edit 2: There might be a different fix on the way :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] big_adventure:
Of course not. You are probably thermally throttled.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] whittikins:
Nah, it never goes above 1500. Maybe this app isn't looking at the main cores though, not sure.

Edit: yep it was the app. I downloaded Perfmon and it shows that the big cores go to 2100 and small cores to 1500 which is correct. All good!

sboot breaks fingerprint scanner for me. even after a factory wipe. 925T

unikernel didn't work well. Kept getting display errors and lockups. AOU kernel works great.

my fingerprint scanner though... :(
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wonderingabout:
Seems to be the only thing I am having an issue with too. Maybe they can work on that. No big deal for me since I hate the fingerprint scanner anyways. Especially after eating cheetos LOL :laugh:

I flashed this Kernel to get root on my G920T, works great except no call audio :(

I flashed this

Anyone else not able to use QI charging with this kernel? I'm on a 925T and 5.1.1 ofc8.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] itskapil:
If you can't find your way through here, here is some help.

For T-Mobile Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, flashing UniKernel suffices. See this page for help.

While for Sprint Galaxy S6 (not S6 Edge for the moment), flash other custom kernel. Link.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ScottBroker:
I did flash unikernel for root, but I did not get call audio. I found a zip by Mr. Fix which was to fix that issue, but it did not work for me.....
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mrbmg:
This might sound crazy but did you try clearing cache, and flash twrp?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ScottBroker:
Oh I did flash the odin TWRP as well....
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pmichaelro:
I have the G925F with 5.1.1 G925FXXU2BOFJ. I was wondering if flashing this kernel is the only way to get root on 5.1.1 G925F as of right now? Is this going to trigger the KNOX fuse protection? I'm guessing I would need to flash this kernel via ODIN,and if so is that going to include TWRP recovery as well? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
That's odd. The 5.1.1 patch works fine on my 920W8.

Try flashing kernel again and then the patch.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Master&Slave™:
I have the same issue, I've done that multiple times today. Do you think it would have something to do with not being on the stock sboot?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
No idea. I'm on the 5.0.2 sboot.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pmichaelro:
Have you tripped the Knox fuse? I want to flash the custom rog Pure Odex and enjoy this kernel but without tripping Knox counter. Is that possible? And how? I have a G925F with 5.1.1 running G925FXXU2BOFJ stock with no root. Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mythos234:
Nope, any custom kernel or recovery will trip the fuse
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pmichaelro:
And is there any "documented case" where a Samsung Service has declined it's service to a device (s6/s6 edge) that has a tripped Knox fuse? Or was this all a speculation to begin with? I'm dying to get rid of the wakelocks that kill my battery...

It's a root only app and you can back up what ever you want on your phone and you can also freeze any unwanted system apps

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mythos234:
The method is only for G92xT. And all the people I met have lost incall audio with that one. Trying on other variants can end very badly
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Tagtag123:
I have the g920F running the 5.0.2 with ping pong root.

Want to upgrade to 5.1.1 for camera features and need root only to block ads.

I am cool with the knox tripping as long as the fingerprint sensor works for locking and unlocking the phone (I think tripped knox will kill Samsung Pay, but its fine for me).

I have downloaded the 5.1.1 for g920f and and region code BTU using samfirm, the decrypted the downloaded file and got "G920FXXU2BOFJ_G920FBTU2BOFJ_G920FXXU2BOFJ_HOME.tar.md5", I guess I need to load it in PDA on Odin and flash with ticking re-partition to preserve (camera pics, videos). Can I preserve the apps and settings?

Rooting will require which kernel, Unikernel or "Gavin's Kernel"?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] daffie:
I see..thanks. Too bad...would love to switch back to 5.0.2 (deodexed) rom.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mikeyinid:
Yea, 92xT only. But, I still have call audio, and I'm able to flash 5.0.2 ROM's again. I am NOT able to Odin 5.0.2 firmware though.

Do not click repartition, ever. just place the tar in the CP section in Odin and run it.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Tagtag123:
And how do i root without losing the fingerprint sensor for everything other than pay?

In call audio won't be lost right?

Which kernel to use for root for g920f?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mikeyinid:
Read the post above yours, 92xT ONLY
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Tagtag123:
Unikernel description says "f" variant is also supported.

As it is Samsung releases a billion variants of a single device and over here also it's so complicated.

Basically, what should i do to get root on g920f without losing in call audio or fingerprint sensor on 5.1.1 being currently on 5.0.2
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] big_adventure:
F is easy.

Install the stock 5.1.1 rom with Odin. This takes care of bootloader and modem and everything to ensure you don't brick. Reboot.

Install TWRP with Odin.

Install UniKernal with TWRP.

That's it. There is no chance of losing either call sound or fingerprint sensor - I have both just fine.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] bpdev:
[MENTION=1768899]g.lewarne[/MENTION] Any chance of you adding support for the uscellular s6 edge (r4 model)? I believe it's very similar to the sprint variant. I tried the sprint version on 5.02 and it worked for the most part except after a while the screen became unresponsive, not sure if that was kernel related or not.

[MENTION=6398395]mythos234[/MENTION] It appears that only when you flash a 5.1.1 ROM while on this 5.0.2 sboot will you have the audio issues.

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

[MENTION=2918779]mikeyinid[/MENTION] - It appears as though this older 5.0.2 sboot breaks call audio on 5.1.1 ROMs which makes sense but what if someone flashed the 5.0.2 call fix by @-Mr.X? Should we have him take a look into this?

The kernel works fine for everyday usage, but crash when using Gear VR.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] CjetOKC:
G920T with lollipop 5.1.1, opened new phone, did ota to 5.1.1 then learned about rooting and decided to do it. I first Rooted with this techniche, using Odin and flashing the BL and the unikernel v2-0003, making sure I did everything right, root was a success but I lost in call audio and fingerprint scanner. so I then got TWRP, made a Back up, flashed XtreStoLite v2 for android 5.1.1 (that's supposed to have no audio fix in it) everything that was said will trip KNOX and I did not, I STILL have Knox at 0, which makes no sense, My call audio and fingerprint scanner still do not work which I can't figure out I have attacked a image of my knox status and that I'm running this mod that includes the unikernel that I used here to root (so it was already on my phone) since the MOD comes with could this be reason for my unfixed bug? I have good deep sleep Good battery life everything else is running awesome!

I need call audio so bad and im new to this stuff ive spent 20 hours out of the last 30 researching this and the bug is driving me crazy! Also I downloaded the aroma add on package and flashed it to my phone followed the instructions and I clicked enable fingerrint scanner on this, it all went through with success, although the scanner still has a error. please guys! need help bad! JUST NOTICED the picture below, says my bootloader, is a different code then the one that is supposed to be downloaded, I had this one before I did the mod, would the mod change the bootloader? could that be why im having issues?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] jah2110:

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
Already stated that the bootloader is the one breaking call audio.

Odin back a stock 5.1.1 image or flash the stock bootloader and not that Engineering Bootloader which breaks call audio.

I cant be bothered to start threads in the T, W8 and P sections so please pass it around :)

Also pass on your thanks to Mythos234 and ktoonsez for assistance ! Without ktoonsez's existing version detection framework my final patch unifying F and T would not have been possible. This has literally taken 2 weeks. Enjoy :)

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] yellowsn0w:
hey man, I'm not saying what you guys have done sucks. i was just really looking forward to flashing international rooms, and when i saw that you added t and w8 compatibility i thought it was fixed. you guys do great work, sorry for giving the impression that what you guys achieved is not awesome!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] g.lewarne:
it Is being actively looked into. In fact, sound has been achieved, just not nice, useable sound. The F rom on T device issue is most certainly ROM side, as the kernel binary completely resolves it on a T or W8 based rom. We just have to find where in rom the issue lies....
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] yellowsn0w:
That's awesome man, Mr.X in the tmo thread said you guys have something, was he referring to the partial sound?
