I'm sorry, I'm being a little difficult since I help with google translator. The guide is very clear but definitely not for me. I just wanted to know whether it is possible to root with bootloader 5.1.1 maintaining knox to 0x0.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
For the last time. The only bootloaders that have been leaked are for G92x F/T and version 5.0.2.

That works for 5.1.1 as well, you'll keep Knox intact, but you'll lose the fingerprint sensor, that's all.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mape:
Is there any fix for the fingerprint sensor?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Geoz:
You can't have them both, if you can't live without it then you better install the latest bootloader and get fingerprint sensor back

do we have bootloader for g920t?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gamepois0n:
Anyone know if xposed will work with this bootloader and still keep the knox 0x0?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
You can flash anything as long as you don't flash the bootloader and Knox will remain intact.

I actually just installed Xposed framework last night, the one made by wanam and it's working great.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dgcyears:
Is it still working on the newest update? G925FXXU2COH2

I don't wanna lose my warranty. Btw [MENTION=1372407]pmichaelro[/MENTION], you said we can flash anything as long as we're keeping knox intact, but what about flashing a ROM without knox? or installing a recovery and using a full wipe (not only /data and /cache, but also/system, etc.)? They're working as well? Also, if everything I've mentioned is correct and worth a shot, could you please PM me with the engineering bootloader?

Thanks!

Hey, used this guide to root my s6 edge without tripping knox. Really nice, thanks for the guide it was easy enough to follow except I must have missed the part where I have to update to 5.1.1 first to your the linked tools but got it done. I'm just wondering, does the engineering bootloader interfere withe Privacy mode? I tried to activate it today and it just told me failed.

Root interferes with the Privacy mode. Most custom ROMs have a fix implemented for the Privacy mode. For example XtreStoLite.

Can you PM me the engineering bootloader for the G925F please?

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Superbia:
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I think I know the answer but does root and/or engineering bootloader halt all knox related activities? I am really interested in the possibilities of MST, mostly to house my loyalty cards, something that is mostly magnetic here up in scandinavia so I tried to stay as stock as possible with engineering bootloader that is.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
rooting your device stops all DCM apps. including banking apps, tv apps i.e. skybsb etc.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
First chk if you phone is on 5.1.1 if its on 5.0.2 u can root via pingpong. But 2 have custom recovery or to install custom rom use this method. But if u wanna use this method update to 5.1.1 then use this method.

To go back to stock simply flash complete stock rom via odin and u r good to go.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Gupper:
Thanks to confirm . Sounds like the basics of flashing, like all older phones in the SGS line i had.

Had some issues with knox and warranty with my S5 (cooked sensors) thats why a new S6 is arriving tomorrow :)

it's possible installing other mod's with custom roms

Hello, first I wanted to make you my congratulations for your amazing work. Good boy!!! Then I wanted to ask you something. After making the root of S6Edge g925f I would put a custom ROM, the Xtresolite 2.3 and flash the alliance framework 3.1e after Unikernel. You say that the procedure can be good to install this mod over the custom rom or knox saltterebbe ?. Thanks for the reply. P.S scuse me for my bad enghlish :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
You have PM.

This is ok as long as you're going to keep the engineering bootloader flashed on your device, you can flash anything on top (custom ROM, kernel, modem, frameworks etc) without tripping Knox. If you want to revert at anytime back to stock just flash a full stock ROM via ODIN.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Asso111:
so I can go quiet to flash the alliance framework with xtresolite and unikernel with enngineering bootloader?

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ArtaxXP:
Heyho...

the eng bootloader and everything but the fingerprint thing works fine on my Galaxy S6 G920F with TYRANNUS ROM 5.1. Knox flag is 0x0.

Now my question is, what would happen, if you now flash a 5.1.1 stock bootloader? If you don't do anything kernel related, while the stock bootloader is installed, can it be possible that the knox counter keeps the 0x0 status?

So It could be a way to get the fingerprint sensor working without to trigger the knox counter. You need to first flash the eng bootloader back every time you want to update your custom rom but you would have the chance to switch between stock and eng bootloader.

What do you think?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Ryrzy:
Good question Artax ?

Your knox counter will change to 1 if you'll revert to original bootloader with modified kernel/recovery
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alexxutzu:
And if I have a custom kernel with recovery, how can I go back to stock without tripping knox?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] omrij:
Flash full odin package, it will replace everything back to stock.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alexxutzu:
Can we also format to f2fs partition? We need to install again the Engineering Bootloader after format to keep Knox 0x0?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Ryrzy:
What about this:

- Download enginering boot

- twrp/cm

- root zip

- zip with stock recovery and boot and kernel ?

- reboot :) ?

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] omrij:

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Gupper:
Downloaded a stock rom from Sammobile and extracted it (see attachment).

Witch files are safe to flash and where they are placed in ODIN ?

Flashed before my galaxy S1 and S3 without issues. But my S5 lost warrenty and needed it cause it broke :mad:

So just to be sure and dont lose my/our warrenty again.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gwonder:
Hi, can I have bootloader for G920F version 5.1.1 please?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
Yes, you can.

You have PM.

Yes, you can flash anything custom after flashing the engineering bootloader, but never flash a stock bootloader if you're running a custom component. (Kernel, ROM, etc).

You have PM.

I'm currently running on arter97's latest kernel, all good.

You have PM.

Really weird, the fingerprint sensor shouldn't work.

If you have just flashed the engineering bootloader and nothing else, you can flash the stock bootloader and Knox won't be tripped.

The last thing you said is totally wrong because when the device boots up it checks every component and if you have any custom ones flashed, but you aren't running the engineering bootloader then it will trip Knox.

You need to keep the engineering bootloader flashed if you want to run any custom components (kernel, rom, etc).

You have PM.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
You can format to f2fs, just follow arter97's tutorial, but first you'll need to flash his custom kernel of course. You need to flash the engineering bootloader first in order to keep Knox intact, because you're going to flash a custom kernel which will trip Knox otherwise.

What do you wish to accomplish?

What do you wish to accomplish?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Gupper:
You explained in this treath that you can flash everything to you phone with the enginering bootloader in place but you need to extract the stock rom.

I extracted a stockrom but it is not totaly clear wich files does have wich function and how they need to get flashed (wich fields in odin)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
What do you want to actually do to your device?

We use the engineering bootloader in order to flash custom kernels, roms etc without tripping Knox.

If you want to flash stock components then there's no need for the engineering bootloader in your case.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
Y do u wanna extract stock rom and flash eng BL same time? Want fingerprint scanner back?

SIMPLE ANSWER you cant.

Once eng BL enabled, device enter into engineering/debug mode cos of which most of security features stop working.

No it need 5.1.1 only if you want to install fingerprint scanner(option in rom installation-aroma) but with pmichalero root method you cant use fingerprint scanner as you are on different BL. so nothing to worry im runnin xstresolite without a prob.

You just need to follow my guide, no need for 5.1.1 bootloader.

If it's not in the title then it's not compatible. Is it that hard to read?

Theoretically you'd need to flash the engineering bootloader, custom kernel and it should work but...reports from others have said otherwise.

You are free to try if you want to take the risk of soft bricking your device. That's easily fixable by flashing a full stock ROM.

You're not wrong. This way of rooting stops the fingerprint scanner working but preserves KNOX. That's the whole point of this method. If you're not interested in KNOX there are other ways to root that preserve the fingerprint scanner

You can flash custom rom only if you have custom recovery. Now soon as you flash anything custom you will trip knox. So follow this method it will install twrp custom recovery for you. Then download any custom rom on your phone(as a zip file). Goto recovery wipe data/factory reset and install the custom rom plus custom kernel you downloaded in the start of this tutorial.
