which recovery do i download i have g928g
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] StealthNet:
After flashing the custom recovery (.md5 file) you must NOT reboot by simply turning off your device. You should press vol down+power+home until it reboots. When it does, quickly press vol up+home+power and hold that until it loads the custom recovery.

Wait so there is a way to root the s6e+ without tripping knox?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] s8freak:
No, not this particular device since it takes a custom recovery and kernel.

There are some Samsung devices that were able to achieve root using such exploits as towelroot and PingPong Root and running a pseudo recovery if you will like SafeStrap and Flashfire.

Those didn't trip knox since the kernel was the stock kernel and the recovery didn't replace stock recovery.

If I do, will it be possible to recover Knox fully or do I have to live with a broken one for ever? (I mean if I'd go back to stock)

And what else do I have to face on the bad side of rooting it?

Also I'm not sure what's the best method to root the s6e+?

Should I simply wait for a one click root solution since I'm a little bit confused about the root process?

Hello!

I was about to order the new Lumia 950 XL since my Lumia 1520 screen shattered. While researching, I stumbled upon 950 XL vs S6 Edge+ video, so I decided to get the Android one and instead wait for Surface Phone if it ever comes out :)

Anyway, I also badly need to get rid of my work phone, which is a iPhone 5. I fcking hate that midget.

That's why I ordered dual SIM Edge+. I searched this thread and noticed that some guy had problems rooting his "G9287" (dual SIM model). There was however no update on his problem but it was over 2 months ago. Has anything changed? I have had a bunch of Android phones as well before my Lumia 1520 and always rooted them.

TLDR:

Is it possible to root "G9287" model, which is dual sim?

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] felix_ac:
thanks :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Nebell:
Thanks I will definitely check it out, but I'm stuck on installing recovery, I haven't gotten that far yet to be able to install kernel.

This is not my first (or second) time rooting a phone. But still, always feel like a beginner. My current phone is S6 Edge+ G9287 (dual sim).

I have followed the guide in this thread to the smallest detail before I started ODIN. Developer mode and so on. Had to install Crom Service to be able to flash successfully.

But the phone won't take any recovery (tried all Phils and TWRP). It gives "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" error. If I restart the phone it works normally but just reinstalls default recovery. I can get in that but it's useless. It won't flash kernel not even through ADB.

FRP is OFF.

Any suggestions? I tried everything, searched the forum, this thread, no solution.

Anyone have any ideas would be appreciated,,,

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dd9:
That is exactly my problem. I guess your firmware is K5 (latest) and your phone is from Taiwan or Hong Kong, right? It looks like a bootloader problem. I will try something today or tomorrow and I will let you know.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] UpInTheAir:
As per my answer below. You can still flash kernel with Odin3 v3.10.6 works for me. Extract the SkyHigh boot.img and tar it.

Please don't go posting it anywhere though. That's not permitted.

.

All you have to do is probably flash the old bootloader with Odin and then custom recovery works. If you post the old sboot.bin , I'll tar.md5 it and post it here for you to try.

Been on rooted gs4 all these years since release. Just upgraded to gs6 edge + yesterday.

Edit: After more research, I found out it's not possible yet with ATT.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dd9:
In order to root G9287 (Taiwan and Hong Kong) with the firmware version K5, you have to flash the bootloader of the previous version (J7 or J6). After that install the preferred recovery and it will not get stuck anymore before entering the recovery. All the rest will stay the same. :good:
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] UpInTheAir:
So my suggestion worked :thumbup:
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dd9:
That was also the suggestion of another friend (from Venezuela) and a bit of my guessing... all toghether come out well. I hope it will be useful for others too.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] UpInTheAir:
You're welcome.

You don't actually have to use a custom recovery. As I stated a few posts ago, flash kernel as tar in Odin3 v3.10.6. Custom recovery is nice for "insurance" (backups) or flashing other ROMs/mods etc, but not absolutely necessary just to gain root.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] DARKSKIES:
update...
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Nebell:
Hmmm that didn't work for me. Or I did something wrong.

I extracted boot.img and changed the name to boot.img.tar. Downloaded Odin 3.10.6 and loaded the tar file in AP, flashed and it reported success. Phone restarted, but I still don't have root.

Kernel reported in settings is:

3.10.61-6137732

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

Would you be kind enough to provide a download link to one of those bootloaders? I tried googling but came up with results where people bricked their phones so I'd rather not experiment too much myself :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] UpInTheAir:
I said you need to .tar it,..... not change the name (extension).
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Nebell:
Alright so I used some app called PeaZip, rightclick on boot.img and added it to archive, so it became boot.tar. Flashed, now the phone is showing battery screen and is not loading. Did i just brick my phone?

Edit: I can get into download mode, but that's it. The prone is not booting. Great.

You know maybe you should not assume that people who look for help are NOT DEVELOPERS and need some better explanation? If you're going to help, then perhaps give better advice than just vague directives? Otherwise you're not really helping.

EDIT2: tried flashing both Arter and Skyhigh kernel and now I'm stuck on the part where it shows me "Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+" boot screen, but it seems not to want to go forward. Guess I need to flash original kernel to be able to get back to my phone?

EDIT3: Recovery is working too, but factory reset didn't help. WTF?! Help appreciated.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] UpInTheAir:
So it's MY fault YOUR mistakes now. ...

Read the red warning top of Post #2 in my thread !!

And after speaking to me like that, you want help. Go figure.

Just flash your stock firmware and be done.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Nebell:
I'm downloading some firmware. Had to pay $6 to samsung-firmware.org to download faster than 0.0002kb/s. Downloading that J7 version. It hopefully works.

Yeah I read your thread. It's not your fault, but seriously, if you're not going to give proper advice then don't give any advice at all.

EDIT: Yeah it's working, thank ****ing dollar for this. Now I'm going to try and flash your kernel again. It better be working this time.

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

Ok the recovery is working now just as dd9 said. Gonna try with the kernel again.

EDIT: Spoke too soon, recovery works but the phone is in boot loop now. Back to flashing firmware, sigh...

EDIT2: Turns out I forgot to turn USB debugging on after flashing firmware which caused boot loop. Re-flashed firmware, turned usb debugging on, flashed TWRP recovery, then flashed kernel zip through it and it's working like a charm now! Damn I'm good.

Now off to rom section...
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] UpInTheAir:
I gave a suggestion, I'm not going to write a tutorial on it. !! Read and search would have found you means and ways to do things, but lets just take short-cuts :rolleyes: There are guides and tutorials about written for Noobs

You can DL firmware for free in less than 2 hours but hey, maybe you should have searched for that too..................

If you're not sure, and don't know how to do it, then DO NOT.................... Best of luck
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Nebell:
Yeah I found that website and started downloading but couldn't wait for 2 hours.

Don't know why tar didn't work. Flashing through recovery worked just fine. Guess I got what I wanted in the end, but with a great deal of frustration. Probably would not have gotten it working though if I didn't brick my phone.

9280 root/kernel/recovery solution needed...

Hi John -- any luck here? I'm in the same boat. Have rooted/unlocked, but cannot change CMC or enable Google apps. I've also tried flashing Arter97/Philz for 928cfi, but I'm only seeing Recovery 11.0 rather than the recommended Arter 6.0. I've tried installing Philz 11.0 but always end up in single red RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING message, wait awhile and eventually reboot. I can't get into recovery mode to install the kernel, though the device is already rooted and has SU through the auto root for the 9280 from chainfire. It's rooted, but I still can't load Google apps/change CMC as described above.

Do I need to revert to stock and then flash Philz + Kernel +SU instead? Or should I attempt either the manual google install and permission rewrite process described here: http://xdaforums.com/s6-edge-plus/help/please-advice-google-play-store-t3204463

Another alternative is to flash stock 9287 firmware to the 9280 and see if I have better luck with a full root/recovery/kernel flash if that takes? It has a similar 2-SIM architecture, but I have not been able to find the PIT file associated.

Any guidance most welcome!

thanks,

mike
