Hi, I have 5.1.1 and My Build number is LMY47X.G925FXXU3COJ1

Can i root without ticking the KNOX fuse?

You've wrote in step 2:

"2. Search online/PM me for the engineering bootloader for your device G925F"

What is the enginnering bootloader? Where can i find it for my device?

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Geoz:
Just Google for S6 G920F/G925F engineering bootloader and you will possible find it. On a side note, this will only work on older Touchwiz ROMs or 5.0.2. All the latest is obsolete since been patched by samsung

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

It'll not work on newer roms
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Jeroen1024:
Ok, thanks for the quick reply.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Chopinko:
Ok.

Since i'm on 5.1.1 - i can't root.

Is there an option to downgrade to 5.0.2?

Best,

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Geoz:
Ofcourse you can always root but knox will be tripped and downgrading is impossible

OMFG, It works!!! I got fingerprint, engineering bootloader and knox in tact :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] j1978:
Hi

If i understood you correctly you were on a official 5.1.1 rom and managed to downgrade to 5.0.2 without tripping knox?

Could you please post the exact steps you took?

Thank you

Jay
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] \\XDA\\Developers:
Ok here is the tutorial

Requirements:

S6/Edge on 5.1.1 (Firmware) < COI9

Running Engineering Bootloader

PhilZ Recovery (or TWRP*)

Alright lets get started

1) Download a custom recovery, preferably PhilZ but you can use TWRP.

2) If you haven't already installed the engineering bootloader, go to first page and follow tutorial

3) Download Hybridmax Kernel here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development/28-04-2015-hybridmax-kernel-t3095373

4) Download this rom http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development/rom-sm-g925f-stock-based-rom-odexed-t3097100

5) Copy them to phone

6) Boot into recovery, if using PhilZ goto wipe options and select "Clear for new rom" or something like that.

7) Now install the Hybridmax kernel zip and than the rom.

8) Select reboot device and just wait a couple minutes at samsung screen if frozen

9) Wait for it to boot

10) ???

11) Profit.

Hello there,

Is it somehow possible to root my S6 Edge with pingpong root?

I have G925FXXU3COI9 but its not on the compatibilty list.

And why would one version be there while another one like mine does not?

Will it harm if I still try to root it with pingpong root?

I already tried CF auto root, but it keeps looping bootscreen.

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
In coi9 bootloader is locked so ping pong root will not work as it was only for 5.0.2 and coi9 is 5.1.1.

And u need corect ver of cfautoroot so u dont go in bootloop. There are two version now systemless root and classical/old style root.

Read before u do any thing.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] sucro:
When you speak about supported and not supported firmwares for S6 Edge for rooting without tripping Knox, do we check build number or baseband version?

I see on my phone baseband version latest 4 characters are COH2, so if BB version important about rooting without tripping Knox compatibility, then my phone-FW is supported by this method with using engineering bootloader, cause lower than OI9, right?

Cause at build number, latest 4 characters are QOH8.

Hi, have anyone tried to flash a marshmallow-rom with the engineering bootloader? Does it work?

Will we lose something, like the fingerprint-reader we lost with 5.1.1?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] zwolf4444:
Seconded. Now that the official Marshmallow build is out, has anyone tested it on the engineering bootloader?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] spirit.of.resistance:
i think nobody want test with MM..it will be so great.

we have to find someone with Marshmallow on S6,there is no risk, friends,family..:)

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
As far as i gathered MM needs newer BL (correct me if im wrong). In that case we are cornered.

And raise our hand together in prayers for some great person to find valunarability in MM.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dole_95:
The thing with an engineering bootloader (if I understand it correctly) is that you should be able to flash almost anything if you have it (since they have removed all security-stuff). The question is if Samsung was ableto add something to Marshmallow that made it impossible to flash with the leaked BL.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
But every MM rom i looked into, asked MM bootloader to b installed which is 6.x

Hi, I just flashed XtreStoLite DeoMod Edition 3.0 but it looped at the bootloader, so it didn't boot. I was able to get into recovery again so no harm done :)

Knox is still 0x0.

I got some errors during the installation that I think is related to the kernel, and that would explain why it didn't booted at all but I couldn't find a kernel to flash (from TWRP) so I can't try that today.

EDIT: I just tried the CRISSCROSS ROM V2.0 and it had the same problem, and I didn't get any errors when I flashed this ROM. It still be the kernel, but it could also be that we need a MM bootloader.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] spirit.of.resistance:
Flash a custom MM is not really a problem with the BL modify, we need someone to flash a MM bootloader and see what happens, if it possible to use BL modify and keep knox 0x0.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
Let me explain wot happens.

Installing MM stock bootloader knox stays 0x0 but soon as you install anything custom after it i.e. kernel, recovery or system knox trips.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] desgrassia:
I believe, from what I read here, that the answer is no, but please let me ask anyway just to be sure.

If I already upgraded several times, and lately also installed official Marshmallow ROMs, can I go back and flash this bootloader? Please tell me I did not read well and that it could still be possible!

My need: restore Vodafone Italy (OMN) CSC, to be able to upgrade to official Marshmallow with all services enabled (i.e. VoLTE).

RIght now, installing the Vodafone ROM I got from SamFirm (and also with the identical one I can get elsewhere, i.e. SamMobile) it defaults to Si.mobil (Slovenia). I obviously do not want to root and trip Knox counter :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
[MENTION=556577]desgrassia[/MENTION] if you are rooted with this engineering bootloader you can not install MM rom.

Yes you can install any full stock rom any time from sam mobile or samsung or any other source without tripping knox containing official kernel, bootloader, recovery, modem, system. Which means no root.

And no you can not come back to this engineering bootloader once upgraded to full latest stock firmware.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GODSPD:

Hello,

After reading the post, I’ve understood that it can root my s6 edge 925F without tripping knox.

My aim is to change the CSC code from AFR to KEN. Using the phone info app from playstore.

And then flash latest lollipop rom for KEN. So till now I should have rooted without tripping knox and changed the CSC code to KEN and flashed stock rom for KEN.

Lastly take the 6.0.1 OTA for ken and stay stock from everything working from A to Z.

KNOX 0x0

I don’t plan to keep root

Hi,

I would like to go back to stock again since I have some problems with my phone (it's laggy and bt-audio quality is not 100%) I think these problems are hardware related but I want to go back to stock just to make sure!

I would also want to be able to go back to the Engeering bootloader again after I have tried the stock rom.

Will it work to flash this rom to achieve what I want: G925FXXU2COH2

The best would be if I can keep the BL and TWRP and just flash the ROM, is it possible? Do you have a link to a guide that show me how to do it? I guess I need to remove some files from the firmware or de/select something in Odin?

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Termynat0r:
So... I will end up with a patchwork software of which some parts are 5.0.1 and some are 5.1.1? Also Fingerprint Scanner doesn't work....

I'm sorry but I don't see why anyone would like to have a phone software this instable.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Vaira:
AFAIK it's because there are new signatures in the 5.1.1 bootloader one could try to patch the 5.1.1. fingerprint sensor apps to skip signature checking...

Anyway I agree with you. To have the engineer bootloader as temp front door seems to me the only use of it. If chainfire can manage to create an cf autoroot for 5.1.1. one could apply it while using the engineer bootloader and then flash the original 5.1.1 BL in order to have it rooted and fully working without tripping KNOX...to use it on 5.1.1 now seems to me no satisfying solution...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
I recommend updating the device to 5.1.1 to resolve any conflicts others have faced.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
The only part from 5.0.2 is the bootloader and the only thing non functioning is the Fingerprint Scanner.

If you can live without the Fingerprint Scanner for now you can enjoy a rooted Android device.

Hopefully someone can find a workaround and have root without an engineering bootloader and without tripping Knox.

Another thing would be if someone with tripped Knox tries the engineering bootloader, flashed a stock ROM and then see if the Knox is still tripped.

I'm thinking it should still be, but nonetheless, it might as well not be :D

Sorry i did'nt saw your question before.

I simply followed this Howto:

http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/05/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge.html

and after i flashed the ROM my KNOX was clean again, they also describe it on the video that it will be clean so you can send it to Samsung etc. and lose no warranty, unfortunally after this i made some new changes, installed 2 different custom ROMSso my KNOX is f***ed up again but when i need to bring it to customer support or any warranty things i will reflash it again.

BTW i have HC Card ROM 5.1.1 running now and its great, fingerprint works and everything else too.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
So the first time after you've flashed the engineering bootloader and kernel your phone wouldn't go pass the Samsung Logo.

You flashed a stock kernel and ended up with the Knox being tripped at 0x1.

Then you flashed a full stock ROM and your Knox was reset to 0x0?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dimkit:
Sorry it is a little hard to believe that this procedures reset knox to 0x0 . Are you sure about this? I

Thank you g.lewarne for your patience,help and devotion!

P.S. This version will work with G92x F and T only. If there is anyone here who has access to any other engineering bootloaders for the rest of the models please contact me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Repulsa:
Are you talking about fingerprint will work aswell after flashing this kernel?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
Nothing fixes that but only the stock 5.1.1 bootloader. This kernel will fix the white/green screen issue that it has previously,making Alex-V's kernel the only one to work.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] deepphrozen:
Yes i am because after i did my KNOX was untouched. I flashed a lot of things as i already posted on the other thread and then after i flashed a stock bl having recovery installed KNOX was touched. After i then flashed the full ROM as described in that howto not only my phone booted again but everything was clean also KNOX. If you don't believe why don't try it?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Repulsa:
No i dont think it will reset knox to 0x0 hehe .(no idea) Anyways The guy followed the instruction on first post when he was on 5.0.2 Stock firmware and got stucked on samsung screen (green letters on top) after flashing that bootloader engineering and start panicking (New Phone) . Then he followed som tutorial which he endup flashing 5.1.1 Samsung official firmware in order for the phone to boot again( knox should be untouched / 0x0)

I did this aswell and after flashing the bl engineering on 5.0.2 stock rooted rom i can no longer downgrade or flash the 5.0.2 stock samsung firmware via odin (cm.bin then FAIL ) and endup flashing 5.1.1 :) but still knox 0x0 . So anyone still on 5.0.2 dont do it or you will endup on 5.1.1 Unless you know what your doing .Hehe
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] MrC85:
Yup! - I was running 5.0.2, flashed the engineering BL and then TWRP. After that the phone wouldn't boot or go into recovery mode so I tried flashing a 5.0.2 ROM via ODIN which failed, had to flash 5.1.1 in the end (then the eng BL & then TWRP) so only do this if your happy to go to 5.1.1 because AFAIK you only have 2 options for root on 5.1.1: 1) use the eng BL and keep KNOX at 0x0 but lose the fingerprint scanner & limit Kernel choice to 1 (2 soon from the looks of things :D). 2) keep the stock BL and flash TWRP tripping KNOX to 0x1.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Rhodesfreak:
Hi Guys,

Just a quick question I'm on 5.02, if I follow the steps recommended by the op would I be able to install Alex's Rom (5.1.1) and still be able to revert back to stock (5.02) if needed ?

Thx in adv
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
I think the recovery version only works on 5.1.1 and that's why it didn't load the recovery.

Now you have 2 choices for kernel. Unikernel or Alex-V's. Unibase is on root as well.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
You should first upgrade to 5.1.1 then follow my guide. After that you can flash any custom ROM for 5.1.1. Not 100% sure what steps are required in order to downgrade though. I have heard that it's possible using the engineering bootloader but don't know the flow.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Rhodesfreak:
Hi Guys,

One question If i update to 5.1.1 and apply the engineered bootloader and afterwards flash a custom rom, will the fingerprint reader work again?

Normally when you flash a custom rom there is a kernel also included, therefore if the roms includes the fingerprint feature is should work again, right?

As far as I understood we can use the engineered bootloader everytime we want to flash something new, this means we have to flash it everytime before we flash the stock ROM or a custom rom.

Could anyone let me know please?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
The fingerprint scanner isn't going to work with the engineering bootloader because the ROM will be 5.1.1 but the engineering bootloader is 5.0.2. There's no way around to fix this, you'll just have to live without it for now.

You have to leave the engineering bootloader flash as long as you're running anything custom to your device otherwise Knox will be tripped. If you flash a full stock ROM then the bootloader will revert to stock but so will everything elso so Knox will remain intact.
