You're welcome. I read it would be as if the phone was brand new, but nope, it didn't wipe mine. Still had all my apps and everything on SD. It's up to you to try it. I recommend backing up just in case.

[MENTION=3004614]joeyx2[/MENTION] [MENTION=6028393]joshua.b[/MENTION], really appreciate your guys' feedback. Lastly did you use ODIN 3.9 or 3.10.6? I'll give it s shot and report back once finalized~

Thanks again~
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] joeyx2:
3.10.6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] snk012:
The scariest things just happened this past 2 hours...

I tried to flash the OTA through ODIN 3.10, it kept failing so I tried 3.09 and it just stalled. Ultimately I just pulled the plug and I was getting the blue screen saying I need to use Verizon's Repair Assistant Software to repair my device. It turns out that the repair assistance software can only be installed from the phone plugged into the PC. I was in panic trying to figure this out and just saw my $799 investment get thrown out of a window. I read some posts stating to use the original cable the phone came with but I don't have that with me at the moment. I am doomed I thought. Then I plugged the cable into the USB ports behind my PC, ran ODIN 3.10 and the OTA flashed successfully... what a newbie mistake... Android is currently upgrading 272 of 350. *crossing fingers*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Edu616:
Hey guys, just wanted to know if I'm on stock rom, never rooted my s6, can I install the latest OTA via air and then root using pingpong? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] thestinkinggenius:
Yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Zameus:
Can someone please confirm if this root works for AOE2? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] joeyx2:
Yes ping-pong root works on the new update OE2. There is a list of build numbers that ping-pong root works for. Just check your build number with the list of supported devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Zameus:
joeyx2, thank you for the details! will do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] kendall316:
Does anyone else have problems with ping pong? I remember last time I rooted it took about 40 times of it saying failed before it rooted. Now after going back to stock and taking the OTA its doing the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s197:
First time I used it it took two tries, this time around one. Did you enable USB debugging?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Anthony-m:
Is Ping pong just basically a one click root? Download it to the phones memory and run the program?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Tulsadiver:
Yes, easier than towel root because it has supersu with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mattkelly:
The OP has a big warning that says, "DO NOT UPGRADE BEYOND ...AOC3... or you will be unable to root your device. This method does NOT work on the latest firmware." Is this still true? I see many here are reporting that the latest firmware is rootable. I am confused. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] snk012:
You can root the OE2 update. Just make sure to use ODIN or Samsung Smart Switch if you are already rooted. I learned this the hard and soft bricked my device. Using either of these methods will not wipe your device but will add all the original bloatware from Samsung/Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] timdsmith72:
First time it worked first try for me. After ODIN and trying it again, it took about 6 tries before it worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] StrumerJohn:
Thanks for that! I updated the other parts of the thread but totally forgot to remove that disclaimer! +1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jimbobtexas:
I used the Verizon upgrade software and upgraded to AOE2, then used the beta6 PingPong root as per OP. I have root again, no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] aptalca:
Thank you so much for this.

All I wanted was to find a way to update rooted stock OC3 to OE2 without losing data (wife's phone and didn't want her to get mad lol)

You have no idea how long it took to get right info with confirmation that data would not be wiped.

So many threads with pingpongroot, odin, flashfire, etc. but hard to figure out which ones are outdated and which ones wipe data

I just installed Samsung Smart Switch on windows pc, it prompted for the OE2 update, I let it update and then re-rooted with pingpong. No data loss and even the bloatware that I had disabled, remained disabled.

Rooted using LRX22G.G920VVRU1AOE2 without any real problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] aptalca:
Well, today I updated to oe2 and then used this method to root (again). So it works for oe2 just the same
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Flip35:
Did you update to the latest software through your phone settings and then you just used ping pong to root the latest ota?

I ask because i am rooted, however, my phone is asking to update to the latest ota and i know i will lose root and dont want to update because im scare not to be able to root the ota. I know it can be rooted but i see ppl saying you need to update using odin, etc. Can someone tell me if i can take the ota and then still use this method to root again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] snk012:
You can odin the OTA or use Samsung smart switch. I don't think it resets your device since it's an update but you will lose root. You can root again after you update using ping pong.

I factory reset everything, set up as a new device, updated the OE2 update, rooted with ping pong, installed flashfire, then flashed clean rom. Long and tedious process from flashing, installing my apps, and setting up my phone the way I like it.. But it was worth it. Phone runs smoother than butter.. More closer to lubricant :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] HipHopIsLyfe37:
Basically what I'm going to do tonight haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hank3fan:
I've seen people mention using smart switch but with the research I've done I've not been able to figure out how. I downloaded the app but didn't have another phone to switch over from.

Any info would be available.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] snk012:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/smart-switch-support/#!/

Download Smart Switch for PC. Plug your phone into PC and install drivers if you haven't done so. Back up your data (photos, music, etc) as this will wipe all the contents of your device and it will be like you just got the phone (minus the excitement since you've done that already). The software is pretty self-explanatory from there.

If you manage to brick your device just get your phone back into download mode and flash the software from Smart Switch or ODIN. Also make sure to use one of the prime USB ports (on the back of the PC) and not the ones in the front as it will not flash correctly. I strongly recommend using the USB cable that came with your phone.

Good luck~
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] kdizzleh85:
Man I fd up

Well, I bought the s6 on release day (Verizon). No root at that time and I thought I'd never get it. Well I just updated to G920VVRU2A0F1 and 2 hours after I get an email about root.

Anyway, I just hope this new build is root able here sooner than later. Thanks everyone for this thread.

I'm still trying to find a way to downgrade to the correct build so that I can root and start some themes. If not maybe I can break it and get a new phone on older software lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] capostat:
Can someone help me understand what rooting by this method will enable me to do? My goal is to flash the roms (ie. Clean Rom) in this forum, but if rooting doesn't allow for flashing of custom roms/kernels, as stated in the OP, then what's the rooting method that will allow me to do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] nrage23:
Rooting will allow you to use Flashfire which will allow you to flash a rom. The S6 will still have a locked bootloader after rooting so you cannot flash a recovery or kernel. So we can only flash stock based roms through Flashfire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] capostat:
Thanks...

There are kernel tuners in the playstore. Those can't be used either?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] :
No those will not work either. I've tried init.d scripts and they have no effect on kernel changes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] lennie paz:
Will rooting the S6 allow us to use apps that say "phone must be rooted to use the app"? Can we use TiBu to remove bloatware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MrWicked1:
Yes

Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] StrumerJohn:
There's not much more to this method and since it's since been patched, I'm closing the thread.

And, as a warning (since this doesn't work anymore):

WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT ACCEPT OTA "G920VVRU2AOF1" OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ROOT USING THIS METHOD. IF YOUR PHONE CAME THIS WAY, I'M SORRY THIS WILL NOT WORK.​

i just flash a pre rooted 23.1.A.1.28 this morning. Then i got this update notification telling me to update to 23.1.A.1.28 which i'm already on.

[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gracefang:
The basic problem you are facing is that while running a higher base rom you tried to flash a lower base rom ie you were on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 and you flashed a 4.3 rom so its was going to happen what ever you do so what you need to do now is that restore your back up and firstly downgrade to 4.3 stock rom and then flash the desired roms you want to flash but be sure as while downgradding a risk of bricking is also there so be careful with what you decide

[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
Reformat?

The partitions may be corrupted and as a result you cannot mount them or TWRP is blocking them for safety reasons.

Do everything on YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Method A:

1. Go to TWRP>Mount

2. Check Everything and go back

3. Try to reflash the rom.

Method B:

1. Make a Nandroid Backup of everything NOW

2. Go to Wipe and Wipe everyting EXCEPT Recovery and ANYTHING that has boot in it (fastboot, boot, hboot etc.)

3. Restart your phone into recovery again.

You should be able to mount.

Called the service provider's CC but they are so lame, can't even comprehend the problem and don't even transfer the call to technical section. Is this a service provider fault or Motorola screwed something in the Lollipoop(pun intended) update. The phone is damn slow since update.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] SvenHee:
Simplest answer is to try "wipe data/factory reset"

In the screen in the picture select "wipe data/factory reset" by using volume rocker, then press power button.

If that works, all data on the phone will be gone!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stenky:
When I try to do wipe dataa/ factory reset is always the same ˝fail˝ like in the picture.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] SvenHee:
The next thing I would try is to load an official update.app for this phone on an sd card (look for it somewhere in this forum) , then run the option "apply update from sd card"

But I'm no guru, please do some resrearch on what to do!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] blankulus:
Firstly, is this a P6 or a Mate? I realise you posted in the Mate forum but you said P6 in your original post. The ROMs etc for the two are different so please clarify which one it is.

As suggested above use the volume down key to highlight "wipe data/factory reset" then press the power button.

Next download an official update and put it on your sd in the dload folder (if there is no dload folder create one in the root of your sd and then place the update file there). Hold down the power button till the phone goes off and then release and hold down both volume up and volume down until the phone boots into recovery. It should automatically start installing the update in the dload folder.

Hope this helps.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stenky:
It wont start automatically.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stenky:
It want start automatically and when I start the update.zip it work briefly and than fail again like in first picture.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] blankulus:
You still haven't told me if it is a P6 or a Mate! Which is it?

You may be trying to flash the wrong update file.

Also one other thing. If it is a Mate that was updated to kit kat then only a kit kat update will work so you will have to look for the B331 update file and place it in the dload directory.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stenky:
Its P6 and I put this update (Ascend P6 firmware(P6-U06,Android 4.2,Emtion UI,V100R001C00B111,General Version).
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stenky:
I try also this one B512.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] blankulus:
You're in the wrong forum friend. You should be in the P6 Android Development Forum. You may have better luck if your thread is posted in the P6 forum. Those of us in here are more familiar with the Mate.

You will find people who are more familiar with your device and the issues facing the P6 specifically in that forum.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] blankulus:
BTW to use the method I described you have to download the update and unzip it and copy the "update.app" file to the dload directory, not the entire zip file. Sorry I left out this small detail before ... my bad. When you do this, the update should install automatically once you boot into recovery.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stenky:
I do all of that but stil nothing. pc wont recognite my phone. maybe the matherboad is dead.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stenky:
I put this problem in P6 forum but non can help me.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] SvenHee:
Stenky, I just read your thread on the p6 forum. They are not helping and that is different from "can not help"

I'm sorry to say again but:

If you do not show what you have done and what happened when you tried it, it is IMPOSSIBLE to help unless we write out every whole process of what MAY work for your phone.

There are a lot of people here willing to help but YOU will need to do the work and research, helpers will only give you directions.
