Done Sucess But how To Install TWRP And Root Icannot install Because Of Fail
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
I don't understand what you are asking. If Odin is working for you, if you were able to install the TAR file to update to QC7, then follow the instructions in the Original Post.

Download TWRP, download SuperSU, and install them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jerry43812:
How do I update supersu? I made a thread in Q&A about what happened when I tried to use the in app option but since I'm the only one with the issue apparently, I haven't been able to find a solution.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
First off, what is your current configuration? Can tell me what you are running now?

To update your version manually (and I do need to know what is installed currently) if you already have SuperSu installed and TWRP, go here: http://www.supersu.com/download

Grab the 2.82 flashable and flash with TWRP. But make a back up first!

It is getting a bit more complicated. I am running Magisk, as are many others. Not using SuperSU. And there are two variants of SuperSu floating around. Which may explain your issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jerry43812:
If I wasn't specific (I can't see what I posted but the binary is what's wanting updated).

I'll link my thread since idk how to tag people when using Tapatalk.

Edit: now I know it's basically a Twitter tag to tag someone here. Good lord Tapatalk sucks for thread reply notifications. Ugh!

Here's the link to my thread anyways just in case anyone else sees this thread first and has the same issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
So you have a Note 5? Not sure how to advise you. You might be better off on that forum.

The SuperSU that you have, 2.82, seems to be the latest available. You can try flashing the zip, but I don't think it would do you a lot of good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jerry43812:
Yeah... I really did think I was in the note 5 forum. I'm on the edge of quitting using Tapatalk because it's aggravating me. Not getting notifications, I'm posting in wrong forums somehow, blah blah. My wife has the S6 now. Oops.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] duxovni:
1) Go the right section on XDA and look there or

2) Go to Sammobile (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) and put in your model number.

It does not Flash via odin

thats the problkem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
What are you talking about? If you are replying to the Note5 user from several days ago, we have all moved on.

If you talking about this thread, I have provided much faster download links than those on Sammobile. If you need a tutorial, please go here: https://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/general/guide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862

If you download a TAR file and it won't flash via Odin, then either:

1) It didn't download correctly. (Which is why I provide better links.) Or...

2) Wrong file for your phone.

New Rooting Method Coming

Hi, all. I am working with esteemed member [MENTION=4988866]tdhite[/MENTION] on rooting using Magisk instead of SuperSU. We are waiting for Magisk 13 to finalize, you might want to hold off until then.

You can still use SuperSU to root your phone, but Magisk offers a number of advantages at this point. The primary one is Magisk Hide, which allows you to root your phone and still be able to use Android Pay, play Pokemon Go, etc.

If you don't need to update right now, you might want to hold off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yeoldeusrename:
FYI QF1 is available on OTA. 16.10mb. Just says security update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Thanks, I'll post when it becomes available.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Nye-uhls:
just out of curiosity, whats the "RTN for Sprint" option in odin? I've always seen that, but never had the guts to just press it and see what happens lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] walttheboss:
Please clarify which link is the real Latest Super SU. There are two on the OP at the top and I am not sure which one to use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] churchwin88:
I would try to hold off for a little bit longer. The new Magisk he referred to a couple posts ago just got updated yesterday, so I'm sure they are working on a proper root using it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] walttheboss:
Thanks a ton for the clear response. I will go ahead and flash the rom and wait on TWRP and Magisk.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Tekken Lord:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Tekken Lord:
Not a problem [MENTION=3816775]koop1955[/MENTION], I went ahead and build those for us. Please feel free to test them out.

Thanks for doing that! That is what XDA should be about, members helping members.

You rock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Tekken Lord:
No, you rock...lol..Btw, I have not updated the bootloader yet due to my uncertainty over a locked bootloader..Do you think it is safe to update or just wait until QF1 is released to make sure? TIA.

Magisk Links

Everything that you need, Magisk and Magisk Manager, can be found here: https://magiskmanager.com/

For [MENTION=3126441]walttheboss[/MENTION] and any others looking to root a non-rooted phone, there is a guide here: https://magiskmanager.com/#How_to_Install_Magisk_Latest_Version_133_on_Android_Non-Rooted_Phones

Assume that you just flashed QE2 via Odin and have a completely stock phone. Use Odin to install TWRP, but DON'T RESTART VIA ODIN. Instead, hold the power button until your phone shuts down. Then hold Volume Up, Home and Power. That should reboot you into TWRP. Put the Magisk Zip (not the manager which is an APK, but the zip file) on your phone and install with TWRP. You should now be rooted. Reboot, install the Magisk Manager APK and you are all set.

PS: If you only install TWRP and then let Odin reboot without rooting, it will overwrite TWRP with stock recovery. The method above avoids that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
I doubt that QF1 will be more than a minor, monthly update.

We don't have a locked bootloader. If you enable Developer options, then OEM Unlock, you can root and install custom recovery. You will trip Knox, if that matters. The cost? You won't be able to use Samsung Pay, if that matters to you.

Let me know if you need help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] humberriverdam:
I can confirm. Just purchased a refurbished G900P model. Build number ~G920PVPU4DQC7

I used CF-Auto-Root as per the instructions on Chainfire's site and Youtube (not sure if I can post links?) and it worked perfectly. Minor issues occurred (Samsung+: "It appears your device is rooted", similar warning in LastPass, Device Status Custom, etc. etc.) as well as one that I think is carrier related (I had to manually enter the LTE settings for my Canadian carrier into the device.). Device is confirmed rooted. Was worried this would be pretty difficult but thanks to the excellent work of Chainfire things were a cinch.

If I am reading your OP correctly, all I'd need to do now is obtain the TWRP app (either Official or Manager) and then install TWRP from there?

Also are there any restrictions as to the use of TWRP I should know about? I'm fairly sure based on their warning about dm-verity I can't allow "system modifications" like I would on the S5 5.xx or Nexus 5.xx devices without flashing a custom kernel, which... is a bit beyond my abilities at the moment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Can I suggest that you read up on why people are moving away from Chainfire's SuperSU rooting method and moving to Magisk? The look at my post #340 here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] billa:
Your post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73081889&postcount=340 describes how to root using Magisk.

Could you please describe briefly the main benefits of rooting with Magisk over TWRP/CF-SuperSU (not talking about it CF-Auto Root).

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Feature Number 1 is that root is concealed from a number (not all, but many) applications. If you install SuperSU and want to use Android Pay, you have to disable root every time. In contrast, I am rooted with Magisk and I can run Android Pay. Same with the Pokemon game.

"Suppose you want to run banking applications and whenever you open the application you will get a notification saying that your phone is rooted and you won’t be able to use this application on your device.

Now, to run that application you will unroot your phone and do your work in that app and again root your phone with the help of Chainfire SuperSU. Rooting and unrooting your device is a lot of lengthy processes, and no one likes to do such as a big task again and again.

What if you want to use that banking application urgently? You won’t be unrooting your phone again and again. This the reason why developer Topjohnwu came up with an application which hides the root from your device."

Feature Number 2 is that there are a number of useful modules for Magisk. [MENTION=4988866]tdhite[/MENTION] has a module for his kernel for example. I use the Viper4Android FX module.

There is more (and again, I encourage you to read up on it) but those are the main reasons.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] billa:
Great info!

Unfortunately my Knox is tripped due to flashing TWRP, so I assume no amount of hiding will fool AndroidPay on that issue.

But the root hiding feature is interesting nonetheless, and I wonder why Chainfire hasn't come up with a similar hiding feature.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
I don't mean to lecture you, but this is why you need to read up on things.

Knox and Root are two completely different things. Knox is purely Samsung. Of course, I have Knox tripped, yet with Magisk I can use Android Pay.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] billa:
Honestly I have a basic understanding of Magisk, just wanted to hear another's perspective.... that's all, no biggie.

I know all about Knox been doing phones for decades, but I've read that if Knox is tripped AND even with root hidden then certain financial apps won't work.

I'm actually baffled how your AP works with Knox tripped.

That's why I asked, and I really meant to have an intelligent convo not going down the lecture path ya know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] H0wdy:
QE2 seems to have some battery issues.

Which hotspot zip to use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] sillyninjarabbit:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] garyf:
Does anyone have instructions to go from a stock nougat g920p all of the way to rooted with twrp and magisk?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Flash stock with Odin. The latest build is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195918969 (QF Build, very latest.) Reboot and complete setting up phone.

Download Magisk Zip and Magisk Manager APK (these are two different things, you need both) and place them on your phone. https://magiskmanager.com/

Do the usual to enable Developer Options (tap on build number) and OEM Unlock. Make sure you do these steps.

Go into Download mode. Turn phone off. Hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons. We'll do something similar in a minute.

Flash TWRP via Odin, but DO NOT REBOOT. TWRP is here, use the TAR file. https://dl.twrp.me/zerofltespr/

Manually Power phone down by holding the Power button a really long time.

Manually boot into Recovery. Hold Volume Up, Home and Power. You should now be in TWRP.

Use TWRP to flash the Magisk zip file. When you reboot, you should be rooted.

Reboot and install the Magisk APK. Allow "Unknown sources."

Done!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
is there any way that we could flash a 5.1.1 rom on our S6 running stock QF1?

I just need to run an app which only works on 5.1.1 for 5 minutes...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
[MENTION=4431695]yaibakt[/MENTION], some people have reported success in downgrading, but it is risky. I assume that you have checked if there is an updated version of the app available?

If you MUST try...then this is what I would do.

1) Make a backup in TWRP first! You may need it.

2) Do a complete wipe in TWRP before trying to use Odin. Everything. Then reboot into Download mode.

3) Flash the build via Odin. If you need an old TAR file, PM me and I will put it up on Android File Host for you.

Best of luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] garyf:
Thanks. A couple of additions for the next person who wants to root, install the recovery TWRP and magisk to their G920p running nougat android 7.0.

1) Do not reboot in Odin is done by selecting option and unclicking the restart when finished checkbox.

2) From download mode, power down by pressing vol. down, home and power. Immediately switch to vol. up, home and power when the screen turns off.

Also do not enter TWRP read-only mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] rdhayward1968:
OMG Thank you!

I have been trying to find a workable .tar file since November 2016 for a soft bricked SM-G920P. We wound up having to buy it out from Sprint and purchase a new one, and even though Sprint even tried to flash it, nothing worked. I just found this and, without any real hope, stuck it in Odin v3.12 and almost had a heart attack when it didn't fail within three seconds. Its now up and running and my step-son is going to be over the moon!

Thank you, thank you and thank you again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Supermav:
Has anyone comfirmed this method for QF1 by any chance thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Please don't quote the entire OP. SuperSU still works, but you can use this method to root with Magisk: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73232175&postcount=352

[MENTION=3816775]koop1955[/MENTION] Sorry bout that, do I have to do fresh install or can I just flash TWRP and will this allow me to modify apn's for hotspot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Flash TWRP and then immediately flash one of the rooting methods. I recommend Magisk.

I am not qualified to give you an answer about the APNs. If you flash the Just Enough ROM (https://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/development/rom-tdh-jr-rom-t3550677) you will have working hotspot.

But again, I am not expert on that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] maddoxjsph:
[MENTION=3816775]koop1955[/MENTION]

Very new and unsure of what I am doing... How exactly do I accomplish step 2 of your condensed version here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73232175&postcount=352 and place the Magisk Zip and Magisk Manager APK onto my phone? Just save the files into the "Download" folder on the phone maybe?

-Joe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Any folder will do, just remember where you put them as you are going to need to find them with TWRP and your folder browser.

Let's say that you use Download. When you open TWRP and select install, you will need to go to /sdcard/Download. It is that first "sdcard" part that people find confusing because you don't have an actual sdcard in the phone, it is just the part of your phone's internal storage that can be accessed by your PC.

If you have any more questions, please ask here.

No, and there never will be.

The closest that you can come to undetectable root is Magisk and you still trip Knox.
