S6 doesn't accept "add-on" chipsets!

Sorry to revive a year-old thread but there is no way for the Galaxy S6 which is a sealed phone with a glass back to accept a "CHIPSET" to activate S-View capability. I have an S5 which I no longer use and an S6 which I've had for nearly a year. The S5 with the OEM inductive charging back included the S-View chip (although the back didn't have the cover attached). The S6 which is a sealed phone with no removable back cover, does not allow installation of add-on chipsets.

I think your mobile may get scratches on screen if you don't use screen guard.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] TheMadScientist:
If its anything like lg quik circle case it works of magnets
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] george_leeson:
There are no magnets that hold the cover shut, but it stays shut by itself most if the time. When the cover is installed, a menu pops up and asks you to update the accessory. It may be done with a NFC chip, but am not sure. You need a screen protector on to keep the screen scratch free
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] TheMadScientist:
on the lgs its a small magnet in the case not to hold it shut but it trips the sensor that only displays a portion of the screen. its highly unnoticable. and again if its like lgs quite small. if it run through the nfc wouldnt it mess with the wireless charging to?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] george_leeson:
The wireless charging is not affected with the samaung and belkin pad. Somewhere I read it recognised the case by nfc, but after some more research, there are 4 small magnets in the front cover

How to Root Xperia Z Android 5.1.1 and 5.0.2 Without PC and Get SuperSu

Hi Guys.I will show you today the easiest way for Rooting your Xperia Z.I have prepared this video for you.I hope you like it.

[YOUTUBE]watch?v=_GKrkX3lEoY[/YOUTUBE]

Steps

1.Install latest kingroot.apk from attachment(if you have problem with v4.6, try v4.5) and install it into your handy

2.Open the app and click "try to root"

3.Let It Settle (it can be take 2 min or more according to your internet connection)

4.After 3.Step;install Super-SuMe from attachment

5.Open SuperSu me,give the app permission and click to Blue Button.Let It Settle

6.Now Open SuperSu and update his Binaries (via normal)

7.Thats all.It is very easy.Now your handy has root and SuperSu app.

Note

:

1)Kinguser app (after 3.Step it creates a app like SuperSu) is enough for rooting but If you want to use SuperSu app on your handy,you should follow the other steps.

2)After Reboot Kinguser app comes back.Don´t give a permission to Kinguserapp

Solution

-Go to root/system/app/Kinguser

-Delete the FOLDER of Kinguser(include kinguser.apk)

-Reboot

Worked fine for me though the Kingroot app seemed to have some bloatware bundled with it that I had to remove.

Oh, Trebuchet failed to install for me.

did u get super su ?
[Xperia Z General] Ripu.:
Kingroot failed to root my c6602.I also tried kingo Android root but it also failed.It's my first time in rooting a phone. Plz help :)
[Xperia Z General] Ali Shayzadag:
Is your phone branded or Global? Because kingroot worked for me.
[Xperia Z General] iffiscb:
Doesn't work for my c6603

Whenever i start the king root, phone reboots and nothing happens after restart.
[Xperia Z General] Ripu.:
Branded or global means? It's just simply Xperia z without any at&t like tags.kingroot started rooting process after that phone restart And it comes with root failed with no strategy available.
[Xperia Z General] Ali Shayzadag:
It worked for me.

Let me tell what happened while it worked for me and what I had to do myself.

It removed King apps then I updated Su Binaries and tried to install it on system. After pushing SuperSu to system, it required reboot but after reboot Kinguser was back on my phone and was requesting root permission from SuperSu. I denied and uninstalled it. Successfully, now my phone has root and SuperSu.

P.S. Xperia Z on Lollipop (C6602)

[Xperia Z General] gamzekal:
If you want to use custom rom (modded Sony firmware),need to make a root for it.

Steps

1)root(my methode)

2)installing of recovery

Go to this page and follow instructions http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/z-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2477769

3) find a custom rom from Xperia z development and follow instructions of rom

4)thats it

Sometimes you need to repeat the process few times to get it to work

Actually i successfully installed days ago, but uninstalled the kinguser and master user, now tried again, no luck this time, nd I've tried multiple times.

Guess i need to remove everything which came from previous installation of kingroot, any trick to clean it? So i can try again?
[Xperia Z General] gamzekal:
super-sume app removes all depencies of Kinguser.You should flash stock rom (without wipe data cache) via flashtool.after than install kingroot again and follow my instructions
[Xperia Z General] iffiscb:
Does Sony flash tool has the option to skip wipe data option?

After rooting with this method, can i install custom recovery? And how?

Hi There after getting no reply to my former problem description i userd S1 flashtool to install Sony's latest

How to continue? What can I do bring it to a positive end?

soft brick ?

I followed your tutorial everything went ok I got root but when I reset the phone, nothing, just Sony and experia logo, and so stands or reset the phone, the battery has completly drain out i recharge a bit I tried again, and the same is repeated. How to fix this?
[Xperia Z General] KornM:
Yes, you get softbrick :) its ok, you can solve it, i had softbrick too when i tried to root with this method. You need use PC companion, so open it, press support zone, then Phone/Tablet software update and then repair my phone :) this really helped me. Sorry for my bad english
[Xperia Z General] Stockis:
Thanks for the tip about usin PC Companion! Tried to root my C6603, everything went fine until I had to reboot the phone and all that happened was a boot loop. This really blew, but after using PC Companion everything's working again.

Not so sure about rooting using this method again 'tho... Is there any other, better way?
[Xperia Z General] KornM:
After first try i had softbrick too, but when i tried again, everythink was fine. Just dont afraid to do it again, if somethink is wrong, you can recover with pc companion, after another trying i succesfully rooted my phone with this method, just be more focused what you doing.

In first try i failed with terminal emulator, in instructions saying that you firstly must root with kingroot, and place this .zip file into internal memory, and then open terminal emulator and type Su, and my fault was that i typed Su not su, the capital letter was fault, then i get some errors, i didnt understand then what was wrong, and becouse of this, kingroot didnt was replaced with supersu, and that caused me a softbrick i think. Just try :) sorry for my terrible english, i hope you can understand what i want to tell
[Xperia Z General] gamzekal:
Apps are updated Root method should work now

And looks like the step of manual removing of Kingroot app and folder is not necessary - SuperSU Me did it automatically.

Although I still have a question - after all the steps there are two apps in the drawer: SuperSU ME and just SuperSU. Am I right that after getting root and rebooting we can uninstal SuperSU ME as it did it's job and not needed anymore?

Xperia Z c6616 5.1.1 successfully rooted

Just wanted to say thanks for the attachments.

I was able to root my US T-Mobile branded Sony Xperia c6606 with c6616 firmware 5.1.1 using the Kingo Root 4.6 after several tries.

I tried both 4.5 and 4.6 King Root however neither worked, even after several tries. I also deleted the apps and tried several times after that. The key seems to be clearing the cache for each version of King Root attempted and then uninstalling them completely. After a restart of the phone, install 4.6 King Root's apk and then try it. I had the Wi-Fi turned on and USB plugged into my laptop.

SuperSume also worked fine from the attachment after the root was completed.
