please help me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] klbjr:
So if I try this I will lose not only Samsung Pay but the Finger Print Reader as well? Is there no temporary root available? I only need root so I can carrier unlock phone. Afterwards stock is fine as its for my daughter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] withoutnickname:
instead of Odin, can i use Jdoin3 ? they are same, right ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] F4M0U569:
does rooting wipes all your apps and settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
No, when done right on devices that are root friendly doesnt wipe anything.

Does this rooting version trip KNOX?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Go to into developers option and turn OEM UNLOCKING ON
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
It will trip knox since is flashing a costum kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] rfgarza8:
With all this talk about tripping Knox what is the true consequence of tripping? Does it make rooting less appealing?

Does this root work on the 5.1 leak!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dallasnights:
Ok i am on G Edge s6, 5.1.1 925 T Tmo, now my questions are many but I am sure the answers are easy for you guys

1) What file do i use to get root since I am already on 5.11 from Smart Switch earlier in the week

2) Will this trip KNOX and make Samsung Pay not work

3) Can KNOX be reset

4) Once ROOTED will this fix the RAM issue

Thanks all like the title said for dummies and I am one of them for sure

Appreicate the help!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
1) Read OP

2) Yes (and probably will make Samsung Pay not work, but we still don't know for sure if they'll require Knox)

3) No

4) I'm not positive if this unikernel has implemented the different dha values, so I will defer to those more knowledgeable, but there doesn't seem to be a magical RAM fix so far. But it certainly won't make your RAM management any worse.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] thehustleman:
Why are people making these assumptions about Samsung Pay? Rooting (and tripping Knox) MAY cause Samsung pay to not work, which is possible with many apps that dont play nicely with rooted devices; but it is very presumptious to say that it will PROBABLY cause it not to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Samsung won't warranty devices that have knox tripped, But if you have insurance thru your phone company till this day I don't see any of them that care, Also you could turn a phone into for the JUMP program with knox tripped and they don't care also....... People are freaking out about Samsung Pay not working if knox is tripped but nobody knows till is actually launched and if it does, I'm almost positive a dev will make a work-around for it like a modified app that skips the check
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] lrmdaddy:
yes it does

This is really one great forum! Nice to see all the help especially with the newcomers. Keep up the good work!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Root:
What is lost by tripping Knox? I'm still on the fence about rooting this phone since my only advantage would be permanent debloat of apps and blocking ads.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Will this TWRP work on 5.0.2 OCG based setups, or is this ONLY for 5.1.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dallasnights:
Does this method work on 5.1.1 Galaxy s6 Edge TMO and if so do i just flash the one file to root since I have 5.11 via smart switch installed

Lastly when I do this will it mess up the current settings etc, or just root me

Thanks all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Only for 5.1.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Just flash the 2nd file to root

and if you want twrp to be able to flash roms/files etc/ then flash the 3rd one after
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
What temperature are u guys getting I can't get mines under the 100s on 5.0.2 it will idle in the 80s ?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] raw2000j:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Scratching my head. The first file in the Mega download for the 5.1.1 is a zip which unzips to a bunch of .img files. How the heck are you guys using Odin without a tar file or MD5. Sorry if i'm missing something obvious.

EDIT: Never mind. I'm on a MAC. Should have used WinRar via Parallels which opens to MD5 :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Glad you got it figured out lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
Mac Wac. :eek:

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Normally not an issue using MAC version of unarchiving to unzip. Weird how it just unzipped to all the img files. Anyways, I decided to take a chance and dirty flash (Odin on top of my current OZOP setup. Booted right up and watching the Android is upgrading apps. Almost done. If I get any FC's will just wipe and reOdin clean. So far no problem app 320 out of 436 upgrading :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
I did the same over the vn rom and everything was fine it just of course took all the mods off and put it back to stock...... I did end up clean wiping after because phone was slowing down on me

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Yeah, I notice a slight hint of lag. The root issue took a while. I was a little concerned I kept getting not rooted messages. Flashed the It works a couple of times. Then after sitting for three minutes the SU messages started to pop up. (Wipeing Brow) Running a basic TWRP backup right now of where I am, but will probably clean install since it's the right thing to do. Nice to see the additional TWRP features too back in the backup choices....EFS and Radio which is nice. Missed that when TWRP V2 was the only TWRP that worked till now. Hopefully will see some ROMs popping up soon. Thanks for the help.....

OK...got my first TWRP backup finished. Tempted to see what happens restoring an OLD TWRP. Assume it will fail :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] sarni84:
Yea so if we flashed this root method in op then use v9 twrp we are good to do a proper boot up out of twrp?, just domt want no boot loops i am out. Everything works fine in twrp when using this root method is what i am saying.... Right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
436 sounds like an unusually high app count?

Does anyone notice this.

I'm thinking 150+ for my S6e if memory serves me right.

If your Mac Google's you should look into it.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
If you have this particular root method (flashing the custom kernel), then you should not experience the boot loops when using TWRP.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

Question: Is it "Smart Switch Agent" or "Smart Manager" ? You mention Smartswitch, yet the link includes a download for Smart Manager.

I just want to be clear before I advise other people to freeze appropriate app.

LMAO! I wasn't even paying attention to who posted that. Wow. My bad!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
An alternative way to root is now available. Details over in the TWRP thread, but the gist of it is:

1) flash TWRP

2) flash the v3 kernel (that's actually designed for this device)

3) flash SuperSU via TWRP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
I agree on the temp my phone hasn't gone under 100 once on 5.1.1 it used to run under the 100s all the time on 5.0.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] raw2000j:
Yea and I was also wondering y my phone dies fast and I notice I have no deep sleep and I tried the old zip to fix deep sleep same thing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
I'm having normal deep sleep with this kernel just high temps

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/sams...d-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] raw2000j:
V2 or v3?Im on 2 but cant put 3 cause im at work and not by pc and i dont see a flashable or one I could flash tru flashify
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
+1 here too. Dirty flash and mine deep sleeps. I have no over heating issues. Themes works. Viper with Neon enabled works :) Adaway works.

My only weird issue is I keep getting those toast messages about has been granted superuser access to interactive shell or some such to various apps that already have access. Especially the one that has com.Tmobile.pr.adapt

Since I dirty flashed I will wipe everything and try a clean install this time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] raw2000j:
I started from scratch and no deep sleep guess gonna try smart switch when i get home start again.I saw v3 kernel can be flashed thru twrp but deep sleep stj doesnt wkrk according to cpu spy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Flash the unified kernel this one gives me deep sleep right away

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/sams...d-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Go into the actual supersu app and take the checkmark for the toast messages off, also use titanium and uninstall com.tmobile .pr
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] raw2000j:
I tried doesnt work for me i used twrp version which did u use odin or twrp?

Edit: It finally showed up :) thx hehehe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Are you waiting 5 or 10 minutes before checking CPU Spy and deep sleep. It doesn't show up instantly. I charged up my phone. Unplugged. After 10 minutes deep sleep shows up. Before that 10 minute mark it did NOT.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] raw2000j:
Guess thats what happened thx
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Don't pay attention to the reading temperatures they are reading higher than what they actually are
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Titanium uninstall fixed it. I wasn't sure if unchecking the toast messages in SU would kill the normal request to grant SU access for a new app basically having me need to add it manually each time. Anyways, Just installed V3 unikernel and all is well.

As for Battery temps, I have the feeling sensors are not reading correctly vs actual high temp. My phone does NOT feel the least bit warm yet I am seeing the high temp right now of 113F. I trust my subjectivity right now more than the sensors :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
Where are you guys reading this temp?

I don't see it in battery stats.

Are you using an app?

Isn't there a "just root" method without all this version and kernel stuff and reseting with smart switch?

Would like to just root and keep the stock recovery without all that rasamatath.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] raw2000j:
Im using cpu spy app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:
Try CPU-Z and see what the temps read there mine are nice and low.

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

OP please clarify.

Why is there a last step for root?

Shouldn't you be done with root after step 3?

Isn't this "Root for dummies" ? Or "Root and recovery for dummies"? ?????

I'm confused! ?

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
YOU GET ROOT WITH STEP 3..... STEP 4 WILL BE TO GET RECOVERY TWRP..... unless you don't want twrp and want to stay with stock recovery "we got twrp after I made the title so I also added for the people that wanted twrp "RECOVERY" I'll edit this op thread
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Tiffany84:
I'd highly recommend everyone that is seeing that "com.tmobile.pr.adapt" asking for root permissions to deny it access and then freeze or remove it with Titanium Backup. I'm not 100% positive about this but from everything I've been reading, it looks like that is associated with the T-Mobile My Account app. So if you grant it root access and ever have to call into T-Mobile for problems with your device or a warranty exchange they will be able to tell that the device is rooted and could deny your replacement. Again, I'm not 100% positive but I've been researching it ever since I rooted a couple months back and seen it asking for root permissions and everything I've read so far seems to point to that. It doesn't hurt anything by freezing or removing it so better safe than sorry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Always best to uninstall or freeze..... "COM.TMOBILE.PR.ADAPT" if not it starts eating up your battery also
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
Thanks for the clarification OP.

Has anyone applied just the root file to there already ota 5.1.1 with no hiccups or additional odin flashes?

This procedure starts with a mega download for a 5.1.1 update install then a root flash with odin, is this root file specific for an odin 5.1.1 update?

Will it work on 5.1.1 ota?

This dummy feels challenged. ???

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
If you are already on 5.1.1 weather you took the over the air update or flashed the full firmware, just skip step one and do the others everything will be fine

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dallasnights:
not seadroid enforcing in red on my boot up as well, still boots fine and all is working but annoying for sure

How do you fix that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
It's basically the device saying, "hey! hey! my kernel is no longer official! this device cannot be fully trusted anymore!"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Tiffany84:
You would have to flash back to the stock kernel to get rid of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
The sensors are NOT reading right. CPU Z also shows 110F. I boot to TWRP and it shows 33C which is 91F. Forget the screwy battery readings AFAIK. My phone feels cool and the sensors are NOT correct when booted up in the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:
Thats weird cause im running the 5.1.1 with Unikernel V3 and its reading low temps for me nothing over 42.0 C
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
42 C is 107F. Again, that's NOT correct. Boot to TWRP. Let is sit. My TWRP reads 33C which is 91F. When I boot up I get anywhere from 108-133 depending on if I'm streaming or just idling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
What's so bad about a stock kernel?

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Lancerz:
The not having root is what's bad lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
So your saying that the only way to get root is to flash a custom kernel?

Root cannot be achieved on a stock kernel?

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Lancerz:
Not on 5.1.1 you can't...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] esphinxed:
What method did you used to unlock the phone??

With atock kernel this method of root is functional?

Thanks a lot for you support.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:

Or you could use [MENTION=1124755]Aou[/MENTION] but you manually have to flash supersu after..... I would suggest you rooting and then going to his v4 kernel after since is way more stable than the one used to root
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Dakidd405:
My phone has been extremely slow in recognizing my finger print. did everything in OP's instruction, and flashed v4 from Aou's thread subsequently, but phone just seems to have been bogged down. I understand that a factory reset and redoing the process could possibly help, but I am not sure I understand how to get my entire set up of apps, configuration, etc backed up. I really want to avoid having to redownload all apps, fix settings, etc. so my question is, what is the best way going upon this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
A long, long time ago, I purchased Titanium Backup [Root]. I love it. I've been using it since. It has to have been 5 years or so.

Anyway, it's awesome at this sort of thing, and really powerful. There are indeed some things you can break using it, but after lots of experience, you can get very granular about which apps (including system apps) you want to back up the data for, which user apps you want to backup+data, or various other tasks, like freezing bloatware or even completely uninstalling system apps.

I highly recommend the app, but it is indeed a very powerful/advanced tool that should be treated as such.

Oh, and the pro version is certainly not free, but worth every penny.

I am in no-way affiliated with the creators of that product, btw. I just like it that much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Dakidd405:
I have TB and have a backup which is stored on Google Drive (a bunch of files). But I am still confused at what to do once you factory reset since you lose everything. I am guessing I do the following, so if you can confirm/correct me where I am wrong, that would be great!

1.) back up using the option "Backup all user apps + system data"

2.) factory reset (i guess I will go back to stock 5.1.1).

3.) Perform steps in OP's thread

4.) Re-Download TB

5.) move all the files from cloud to the TB folder

6.) Use TB and select Restore missing apps + all system data

7.) Voila?

Thanks a bunch!
