[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] swanie2000:
It does work, I just did it last night, on my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6. Running COF8. I was able to root my device, and verified that it DID NOT trip my Knox counter.

When it booted back up, even before I was able to verify root, that com.tmobile.pr.adapt message came up requesting root permission. You need to block root to this AP! Never give it permission, it is a spy for T-Mobile, and wants to tell on you.

After I denied it root permission, it continually popped up a toast message saying it was denied root access.

To solve this, I opened up SuperSU, and blocked notifications for this T-Mobile spy.

Note, I did not flash TWRP. I just used the sboot and unikernel. I am pretty sure flashing TWRP will trip the Knox Counter. I still wanted to keep my warranty, so root was all I wanted.

Hope this helps!

flashing TWRP

I flashed TWRP along with the aou kernel using the engineering sbin. Knox is NOT tripped. I had the T-mobile S6 128Gb with OF8. The aou kernel is based on OF6, but it does not seem to effect anything badly.

Once rooted, install Titanium Backup and disable the Samsung security nag and the T-mobile spy app - no more pop ups.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NYLUVBUG:
For anyone who has successfully rooted their phone. What have you done to improve performance and has the phone been stable? Thnx
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ln13ln13:
Have not noticed any instability. I installed a firewall, titanium backup, and Tasker. Will install Xposed when it becomes available for S6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] dvazriel:
What if i just want stock + root? I dont care bout tripping KNOX.

Can i just Odin flash TRWP and install supersu from recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cgalyon:
Thought Xposed was available for the S6 already.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PS4AndroidHacker:
Do we just follow the same steps to gain root except for flashing TWRP? I'm just looking for stock root. BTW...did you use unikernel or aou?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] FlyingColors:
Does this work on T-Mobile's latest update? Build OH6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PS4AndroidHacker:
I've heard rumors OH6 was out but haven't seen it yet myself. How about a screen shot of it on your device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] dzaster89:
OH6 is definitely out I updated 2 days ago, still haven't tried to root though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PS4AndroidHacker:
Any differences you see? Any optimization? What's new and what's your opinion of the new update?

Here's a link for everybody to read!! Root for OH6: http://androiding.how/root-t-mobile-s6-and-s6-edge-on-5-1-1-without-tripping-knox-counter/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] dzaster89:
Right off the bat I noticed that the memory management is a lot better, free ram has increased by about 15%. Also, off of my first charge since the update the battery seems to have gotten a little better used to end the day with 20% now was up to about 40%. Other than that, they've added samsung pay, and a couple of other apps which I consider bloat anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
You can use the same method, i updated yesterday, flashed eng bl, twrp, OH6 based rom and no issues. If you just want root you just flash the bl and kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] nsdragons:
if I root my s6 and don't install a custom rom, will I still get the regular system updates from the carrier?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NYLUVBUG:
Na man once you root no OTA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
No
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
finger print still broke with the OH6 update rooted? i assume so...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] gamepr:
I can confirm my Knox hasn't been tripped too.

I updated from of6 to of8 and followed the steps listed in the thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Flare_x13:
thhis works with OF8 confirmed i just unlocked z3x box and it works perfectly just reflashed OF8 to get rid of super su
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] FlyingColors:
What OH6 rom did you flash? I can't find any. Twisted Six devs seems to have taken the link down.

EDIT: Won't work on OH6. When putting sboot in BL it says invalid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
It was successful for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] FlyingColors:
Tried again and got it working. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] davwman:
Do we lose finger print and android pay with this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Doctorhitch:
I have an SM-G920F. It's T-mobile but I live in the Netherlands. It probably won't work right... I really want 5.1.1 with root and knox intact!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] SF Steven:
Sorry, I've read the entire thread and have a question: can I root *AND* have a working fingerprint scanner or do I have to choose one over the other?

root is important to me but so is the fingerprint scanner...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
My understand is if you want to root without tripping Knox, ie this method, then you will lose FP. If you don't care about Knox (in other words, if you don't care about Samsung Pay) then you can root and keep FP but it trips knox.. Making Samsung Pay unusable on the phone.. Even if you restore stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] swanie2000:
Sorry I missed this...

I used the unikernel V8 0002

I just followed the steps, but stopped before the TWRP step.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] SF Steven:
OK, i tried this with UniBase_BOG8_v2 (on COF6) and again with Aou kernel (on DOH8) and can confirm that, as long as you're using the developer/engineer version of sboot, you won't have the finger print sensor.

That wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me, except that the phone spent A LOT of time looking for the sensor and telling me several times after each reboot that the sensor wasn't available. It also seemed to have a negative impact on how responsive the phone was overall.

I ended up flashing back to stock DOH8 and am now debating how important it is for me to not trip KNOX.

Just thought i'd share.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
Thanks for updating. I'm going to wait for Samsung Pay at this point.. It's right around the corner and I recently picked up a Nexus 6 for dirt cheap that I do all my tinkering on.. So I don't really ever have the urge to mess with the S6 too much, especially since there's not a ton of ROMs available.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Waiting4MyAndroid:
Here is my question,

My phone is on OI1. If I unlock bootloader in Developer options, can I then flash TWRP and SU? I know this will trip Knox counter and will only lose Samsung Pay..

Also is it possible to downgrade from OI1?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tyrone1:
Got my phone rooted now. Anyone want to help with unlock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] trungctu:
I have the same question with OF6...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tyrone1:
I believe for OF6 you can flash the engineer bootloader then flash TWRP and not lose knox. But if you want to just flash twrp on OF6 without flashing the engineer bootloader first you will trip knox. Also I believe OF6 is downgradeable because you should be able to flash engineer bootloader but once you flash Ol1 and above you cant older bootloaders making it impossible to downgrade.

If you are on OF6 I know you for sure can flash up to DOH6 in odin, then do the engineer bootloader, twrp, unikernel and not trip knox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] trungctu:
Thanks. I did not care about Knox or Samsung Pay but fingerprint sensor. And do I need to upgrade to DOH6 before flash engineer bootloader - unikernel - twrp? And may I root by PingPong root instead of TWRP flashing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
You don't need to upgrade but you will lose fingerprint reader when you flash the bootloader,even if you update and no you cannot use ping pong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] trungctu:
Does fingerprint work again if I flash another ROM, ex Arrow rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] trungctu:
Thanks. So I will let my phone upgrade to OF8.

Just got a new factory unlocked G920T (Baseband G920TUEU3COk1) on T-Mo running android 5.1.1 Can it be rooted without tripping Knox and also not loose the Fingerprint scanner (critical) and Samsung Pay (ok to loose it)

Thanks

SB
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tyrone1:
You can't use root and Samsung pay at the same time. So choose one or another.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sbihue:
Samsung Pay is not a biggie.

What about fingerprint reader. Will I loose that functionality. All I am looking for is rooting the S6 and cleaning up some system apps that I dont't need or use. No plans on installing TWRP or a custom ROM at this time

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tyrone1:
You don't need root to debloat. There is a paid app as well as a free way via pc and USB cable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Patronrex:
is there ah way to root the OJ7 verizion

dont care bout knox or samsung pay but keeping the fingerprint scaner would be nice
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
The easiest way is to flash a Custom Recovery, then flash Unikernel, it will install root..

You will Trip Knox though, no way around it anymore..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sbihue:
Tripping Knox is a bummer. Will wait until a solution is available

Thanks for the info
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
You could use Kingroot, there is a new thread for that in General, however its not as simple as it looks..

Kingroot is made by someone in China who creates a Kinguser account inside your device and steals personal info..

http://xdaforums.com/tab-4/general/to-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-4-t3264281

Take a look at it, but be careful.. There are ways around it, but read the thread carefully.

OH BTW it is in the Galaxy Tab 4 forums, but its similar to towel root.. It should work for this device, though some have reported that it does bootloop their devices.. Read all the way through..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] DavidBR:
i can use this method in a SM-G920F T-Mobile?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ktrinh4213:
I had no information on this and so I decided to just take a stab at it. It doesn't work, probably because the build is still too new (both DOJ7 and DOJC) that rooting can't be done as of yet? There's every chance I'm wrong about the reasoning, but I know it can't be done, even with a factory reset. It only resets your phone back to factory settings (obviously) which, if you bought it after mid-2015, is LP 5.1.1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] drti2:

Can't lose fingerprint scanner don't care for pay tho
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jamesava:
I tried the method, gained root, didn't trip knox, but lost call audio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] GeorgeNYer:
Root strategy unavailable, no strategy now for my G920T DOJC
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
If you want to root, you going to have to either wait if someone comes up with a root method that does not trip knox on Android 6 Marshmallow..

OR your gonna have to bite the bullet and flash a custom recovery and flash root and a custom kernel...

You can't have it both.. My suggestion is to get a Nexus device, they are easy to root and no loss of anything other than maybe Android pay..

Flash TWRP or Phill's touch, then flash http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6/development/rom-sow-nice-rom-v1-0-oi1-tweaked-t3229591 "Sow Nice 5.1.1" It comes pre rooted..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Too much paranoia over knox. I returned a rooted S6 with tripped knox through warranty no problem. The phone had a wonky battery calibration which wouldn't report an accurate battery charge %. They sent me a replacement no problem.

G920T1UVS3DOJ9 Root

Anyone know how I can root a Metro PCS S6 with 5.1.1 bb G920T1UVS3DOJ9? I don't care about Knox at all. I don't mind installing a rom that is close to stock either as long as it's stable. Help would be greatly appreciated! !

Unikernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stanleyopar2000:
Does this work on the doj9 T-Mobile? Or was it fixed

Just want root to freeze some of these useless apps. Custom recovery doesn't matter. The battery life is just SO BAD with 5.1.1 update.

Edit: enabled developer options and there is indeed a OEM UNLOCK BOOTLOADER option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
You don't need root to freeze apps to improve battery power. You can install Macrodroid and setup a macro so when the screen is off (or on) it kills whichever background apps you so choose. I use it and I average 4 hours and 20 minutes screen on time.

So yeah, as of recently I can't receive picture or video texts / messages / mms, trying to send one crashes the Messaging app

I've tried changing my APN to IPv4/6, resetting it default, as well as clearing Messaging cache, rebooted and no change.

I'm on a Nexus 4 Stock running 5.1.1

EDIT: Even attaching a picture and hitting "view" (without sending) crashes the app.

[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
I recently found a new smartwatch on the NO.1 website which I did not see listed on any shop yet, it's called simply No.1 Watch. It pretty much looks like the No.1 Sun S2 in a more subtle body, but without the heart rate sensor. Additionaly they added a SIM slot and MicroSD slot to it instead. Here's a little overview:

(Source: http://en.001phone.cn/product-no-1-watch-102.html)

According to a NO.1 employee the watch should be released middle of this month already. Curious if they can hold up to their plans.
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
The watch is now listed as No.1 T3 in some shops for a price at 60$ for the end of august.
[Other SmartWatches] raffaeu:
This watch case is produced by another Chinese company which is also working for multiple vendors. Looks like they are also producing OEMs products from this ID
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
Here are some first motion pictures of the watch:

[Other SmartWatches] Monipeev:
KloNom, whether the size of the display is the same as No1 Sun 2?
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
I do not know anything for sure, but from the pictures and the video it very much seems like that No.1 is using the same display in the S3 as in the Sun S2.

NO.1 S3 Scratchproof Bluetooth Smart Watch

$63 on pre-order on EverBuying.net

But Bluetooth 3 only?

[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
After seeing that backplate setup, water resistance is out.

[Other SmartWatches] Herberteten:
Seems that S3 change to mt2502 cpu, so it can connect both android and IOS system, that will be great
[Other SmartWatches] raffaeu:
We have adopted a similar solution, also our Android/Linux watch can connect to Android, iOS and Windows 10. In order to achieve that we had to modify the Bluetooth module so the watch is visible with two different channels, one to act as a Bluetooth headphone and one to act as a Bluetooth device. This is because iOS does not allow any Bluetooth device to connect automatically so some workarounds are required on the hardware profile.

NO.1 S3 MT6260 Capacitive Touch Screen Bluetooth 3.0 Smart Watch Review：

[YOUTUBE]_bhMG0zF_jA[/YOUTUBE]
[Other SmartWatches] raffaeu:
Yes but they are way behind the current technologies. They still have Bluetooth 3.0, what's the point considering that Bluetooth 4.0 has been released a year ago or even more?
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
I have seen this watch also on an other store, there it is called No.1 T3, but it is the same thing.
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
By the way, if you are looking for a round smartwatch maybe this one is worth a look:

http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_203003.html

It has a heart rate sensor, and infrared remote controller. It is waterproof and quite thin for a smartwatch and costs below 50$. Sadly it has no slots for sim and TF card so it can't be used as standalone device.
[Other SmartWatches] Herberteten:
It already become bluetooth 4.0, due to them use mt2502 cpu now, you can check official website, http://en.001phone.cn/product-no-1-watch-102.html change yesterday
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
Current market trends:

1. There's the Chinese poor quality manufacturers - cheap price and quality. With the Chinese rubbish you know where you stand, you pay less and then after a short time you buy another cheap product and there's no support at all, they copy others people's hard work.

2. The bigger companies (Samsung, Apple, sony.. Etc) that will actually spend more money and time in R&D to intentionally design products so it won't last long, Planned obsolescence (Wikipedia). So that they make more money as a policy. Also massive marketing campaigns that makes you feel yo need the next version, every year. With the large corporations, they very are sneaky by what they say and what they actually do, because it's all about profits.

3. Good quality manufacturers, like some Swiss, very good quality, but expensive.

In these modern era of entrepreneurs, Open Source (3D printers to help with concept designs), online collaboration ...etc there's a middle way, that's the route we should hold on too. The dreamers with a vision, with a lot of hard work. OXY smartwatch seems like those dreamers with potential, there's others too, I wish them all success, as all seem to want to build a genuine solid product, but finance is always an issue, but its doable.

It's tempting to buy the cheapest stuff because it fulfills a short goal to have a nice looking watch that will impress for a while, there will always be a market for these cheap products and for the uninformed that want the 'latest iProducts' who will overpay as long as they have the latest famous brands.

As ethical humans I think it's important not to support the unethical companies mentioned above and give the entrepreneurial who are taking massive (calculated) risks with their wealth, time/life our full support as long as they hold true to the ethical values. ... So nice to have a watch that just works, one that I can pass down to my kids if only for sentimental reasons.
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
Hello!

Of course I get your point and I truly respect your 'buy quality or nothing'-opinion.

I think this thread is made by (and meant for) users who can not (or want not) spend 300$ or more for an original Samsung/Apple smartwatch. We know of course, that we don't get everlasting high quality products, but anyway we also like to have nice gadets and we can get happy with the cheaper stuff, too. Some of the chinese products also have functions and abilities that the original and expensive devices don't have, like slots for SIM or TF cards or full android system sometimes.

Talking about technology: smartphones, tablets or smartwatches are replaced after a few years by most users, because they simply want something new or better, although their old devices still work. We don't even wait for the 'planned obsolescence'. I think my kids will not be overwhelming happy, if I pass them my old Galaxy S3 smartphone or my old not-flatscreen-TV from the 90s in about 10 or 15 years :laugh:

But again, I know what you mean and I respect your point. It is just economic and responsible long-range-thinking against trends and wishes for something smart and new.
