the issue of rooting the phone is not the problem, The issue is the DM verify. I can root the ZTE Maven which has a NAND lock on it and our exploit will work on the S6 Active but our main issue is DM verify.

Please be so kind explaining "DM verify". :confused:

Thank you in advance :)

Anyone try this?

Looks like there's a trial where you can use the root/unroot feature every 3 hours, and it appears to support s6 active for root/unroot. I returned by S6 Active so I can't try it, but if this works, I may buy it again.

[Galaxy S6 Active] GiZZiE42o:
Yup! AT&T GoPhone Service. AT&T GS6 Active 64GB version. I'm a bit skeptical to upgrade just yet cause some games may not work properly on 6.0.1? If that is the Update. The main site doesn't say anything about the GS6 Active receiving an update & don't know is NFS: No Limit's/RR3/Tetris Blitz/MK-X Mobile will work on the new firmware? anybody know if those games are Marshmallow ready? Mainly seen a few people say NFS: No Limit's won't run on 6.0 so that's why i'm holding back actually is cause of App Support for the new firmware. Will update if i get anymore info on what it is.

For the phone itself i'm not having any trouble with it, Thing work's great! even battery power has been awesome lasting well over a day depending on what i'm doing. Very strong as well, Rain & Minor drop's at work doesn't near touch the thing in rugged environments! :)
[Galaxy S6 Active] wardawgmalvicious:
Ah well I can't get it then. I was hoping you might not be and give me hope that I could lol. I'm overseas and waiting for it.

Not sure about apps not working on it. Marshmallow has been out for quite some time and developers should have been on it a long time ago. I wouldn't be worried.

Is this a possible root method for 5.1.1?
[Galaxy S6 Active] diablo666estrada:
IT IS A FACTORY BINARY ROM FOR 5.1.1

flash it /root it / do all repairs/ flash stock rom

you could probably flash a custom rom via flash fire

i wonder if any of the S6 OR S6 EDGE ROMS WILL WORK ON IT?
[Galaxy S6 Active] tonyvan:
Okay so I just did this because I'm way to impatient to wait for someone else to be the guinea pig!

So.. I started out on 5.1.1 with no root. Just a note. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE! So make sure you do a backup!! It appears that my phone is rooted, and on the dev version like shown in the youtube video linked earlier. I'm not sure though. I'm still downloading the stock 5.1.1 firmware in the provided link in the flashing instructions. I am now on 5.0.2 and rooted. See attached pictures. I will update shortly.

EDIT 1: Update: This does not trip knox.

Odin Mode

Product Name: SM-G890A

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

Reactivation Lock: On

Secure Download: Enabled

Knox Warranty Void: 0 (0x0000)

RP SWREV: B:3 K:2 S:2

Also, I currently have no data ):

Can someone please post there APN settings from their S6 Active?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Active] tonyvan:
Thanks for your reply. So is it possible to run this factory binary rom as my daily driver?

Edit 1: diablo666estrada, do you know how to change from factory mode to user mode?

Thanks

Edit 2: When I try to edit factorymode and keystr in /efs/FactoryApp/ from OFF to ON the changes save, but do not stick on reboot.

Edit 3: So I flashed the included 5.1.1. It is not pre-rooted or anything. Just the stock 5.1.1 image. So I have lost root for now. I could just reinstall the factory binary image, however the factory binary I was on, had limited functionality as it was stuck in factory mode. I had full root access and could read/write to all system folders. If there is any file or folder dump that any one would find useful, let me know.
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:

[MENTION=867870]A2K1[/MENTION]

That's very insightful of you. I am wary of the phone cuz I can't root it. I use a lot of things through root. I have purchased inr however and am waiting for it in the mail overseas. It is unlocked well at least supposed to be. We'll see when I get it. That should prevent any ATT updates I would imagine. I'm hoping a root exploit comes out soon. I still have my Nexus 5 and will probably grab the next one if it comes out later this year.

The S6 active intrigues me for it's ruggedness. I've always worked in extremely harsh environments. I worked in the oilfields of North Dakota in wind chills of negative 70 and now am in the desert with 120 degree weather. It does pay to for some people to have a rugged phone. I'm hoping this is as good as I've read (the rugged part) and will be able to withstand punishment. Also the battery will be a massive upgrade over my Nexus 5 which also appealed to me because I'm not always able to charge my device.

Hopefully the phone works with one of the local sims cards here where I'm at. If not I'll just use it as a gaming device and wait til I come to America and get on Cricket lol.
[Galaxy S6 Active] blessedsword:
I will kick all ATT f*cking applications when it is rooted :)

My system version is 5.1.1

After I had used your method, my mobile is in the situation of Reactivation Lock

I think flashing FA50_G890AUCU3AOK2.tar can unlock my system such as flashing Samsung account
[Galaxy S6 Active] tonyvan:
The download just finished! Unfortunately i'm leaving for Indianapolis in about 30 minutes so I can't do anything at the moment. However, I am taking my laptop and will have a 3 hour drive to mess around with it. I will upload 5.0.2 to mega.nz later tonight.

Updates coming soon! I will be trying the original method of flashing the factory binary, to downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.0.2. From there I will see if I can flash 5.0.2 rom and root it like paul.koug on his 5.0.2 build. If that fails, I will try to replace the factory binary system.img with oem 5.0.2 system.img and try and flash that.

Update 1:

I am not able to flash the 5.0.2 oem firmware after being on the 5.0.2 factory binary. It apparently does not downgrade the bootloader so it still locks out install of 5.0.2 firmware. I am also not able to flash factory binary 5.0.2 with 5.0.2 oem system.img. Odin errors when checking .tar

Some how the factory binary is able to get around the bootloader. Because I can flash that even with being on 5.1.1. The factory binary includes additional files besides what's in the 5.0.2 oem dump. Including the pit file. So if anyone knows anything I should try to get 5.0.2 oem to flash to this device, maybe by taking parts of the 5.0.2 factory binary? Let me know.
[Galaxy S6 Active] pavijan123:
I confirm that we have a working root for 5.0.2

I did have some trouble first time i entered recovery. It said Dmverity failed and didnt let me apply Fix root.

I solved it by flashing again with Odin AND I WOULD NOT let the phone boot to OS (as soon as flash was completed and phone rebooted i pressed 3 button combo and went straight to recovery).

Then it worked as it said in instructions.

Big thanks to whoever made this root possible

PS: At the moment we dont have custom recovery. So no installing zip packets and no backups yet.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Deathert:
So first rooted AT&T phone?

I've been patiently waiting for the root for this device and since it took almost year I got some questions and would be glad to hear yours answer as it may change my intend to buy this phone:)

1) As I can see you can't install xposed for now, will it be possible at all ?

2) Can I root 64gb version ?

3) Today where reviled photo of s7A so I wondering will it take the same amount of time to root other at&t device ?
[Galaxy S6 Active] ds980x:
Its great to see achieving ROOT for the S6 Active is finally picking up! And as stated above, the S7 Active isn't far away but many will probably root their S6 Active and keep it rather than upgrade and wait again?

However, I did find probably the best app out there on the Playstore that completely disables ANY app or system package without the need for root whether its built-in by Samsung or AT&T or something you downloaded yourself and it is called "EZ Package Disabler (Samsung)" specifically for Samsung devices (?) and works like a god send on the battery and overall smoothness of the otherwise somewhat laggy AT&T bloated touchwiz that we all so desperately needed ROOT for. Obviously because this app only disables and does not uninstall apps it doesnt save on storage which is where root would be beneficial but disabling those resource hogging apps dead is the main thing.

IMO now I have disabled a friggin ton of useless inbuilt bloat that was otherwise bogging my S6 Active down with, I see not so much need for ROOT right now which leads me to suggest that an upgrade to S7 Active, for me anyway is definitely the way to go and I cannot wait! Would be pretty sweet to see the S7 Active rooted however. Just my two cents if you want vastly improved battery and performance, just make sure you know what to enable/disable it's a very informative app too :)
