[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] :
You'll trip the knox counter if flashing SU through TWRP. I think there is a way to root without using a custom recovery so maybe check that out. Android/Samsung pay wont work or will at least need some manual workarounds. Also some other apps like banking wont work without doing things like rootcloak.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] trailblazer101:
Dear forum,

Long time no talk! I have been able to get "root" for our phones on G925VVRU4BOG7, which anyone can downgrade to. The catch is that even with /system mounted as rw, I am unable to write to it directly through most conventional means. (I can write to /data, though, which means i can patch dalvik-cache, which means my mods are coming :) ) However, I am able to still write to it using another, more complicated way (I can go into more detail for those interested), as a whole. Here's where you come in-- is anyone still full-rooted? If so, please message me as soon as possible! I may be able to have users who are on newer builds downgrade to older builds and get su properly installed, then manually upgrade back up to the later builds again!

If you are rooted still, all i'm going to have you do is perform this command:

su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/15570000.ufs/by-name/SYSTEM bs=4096 of=/sdcard/system.img

Then send me that system.img file on your sdcard! It'll be pretty big, so you can zip it or .7z (7-zip), whatever you'd like to do.

I will also need what build you are on. You can just send me your Build number within "Settings->About phone".

First one who does it gets credits on the official release thread i'll make, when I get a procedure down that people can follow!

Thanks!

i have an s6 edge on 5.0.2 rooted. Would that be of help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSZ:
Did you get the system.img file? I really wish I could help you. I have this phone on 6.0.1 and stuck without root, but the thing is I really need the root because I bought it used, worked fine the first few days, then didn't get any signal (turns out that it was reported as stolen and of course the IMEI got blacklisted; I tried to contact the seller but he was gone, and his ebay account deleted, so basicly I'm stucked with a ' 5.1" tablet' . I got scammed :/ )

I would be very grateful if you could explain how did you get root on G925VVRU4BOG7 . I know that you want the file mentioned for creating some kind of universal root for the phone, but right now I'm kind of desperate and need root as soon as possible to fix my IMEI issue and I would follow your steps if you made a tutorial.

Thank you very much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] r0ckinb0i:
I am currently running on A0E2 using your rooted rom for this phone. It runs great....except I tried flashing xposed framework using Flashfire and it of course failed...due to the fact that xposed only works on 5.1.1 or above...sucks we are in such a catch 22 with our devices...although I'm happy because I am still rooted.. Anyway...I set up ADB and entered that command you posted and it worked...I just don't know where the storage location of the system.img file is for me to transfer to my PC, 7zip, and send to you. Any help would be excellent....as I desperately want to run xposed framework on my device....but am stuck on 5.0.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gabes100:
Looking at the last part of the command and if it ran successfully, it should be in /sdcard. Did you ever find it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] r0ckinb0i:
Thank you I found it...I'm new to command prompt although I am learning quickly. I found it. I just need to load it onto my computer and compress it so I can send it to Trailblazer. I will do that tomorrow night when I get back home.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Delgoth:
Are there any updates on this topic? When I first saw this thread last week, It got me thinking about what a Tethered Root (Temporary/Semi - Root) would still be capable of doing for those of us still on Official Firmware in this day and age.

And really it occurred to me at that moment, that if we could just attain a Root Shell even if it was only for 60 seconds to five minutes, that would be sufficient to get enough root information off of the phone and into a PC editable format.

I ask, because I am in the process of forming a method for the G925V 6.0.1 [PI2] Build. The problem I'm pretty sure I'm going to run into sooner or later in my experiments/research, is the fact that I am one of the few who have the 64GB Verizon S6 Edge. Technically speaking, my device refers to itself in Download/ODIN mode as a SM-G925VZKE model. This also means that my Stock .PIT file is going to be very different than most people's, also meaning my FSTAB configuration probably will be different.

Because there shouldn't be a reason I can't at least get a temporary Root Shell very soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jhr5474:
So whats up with this? My wife has 6.0.1 on Verizon and I have international much better choice. Will we have root on this phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Delgoth:
If you are currently on 6.0.1 on your Verizon device. It would serve you well for the time being to disable Automatic Security Updates.

Settings > Lock Screen and Security > Other Security Settings > Security Policy Updates

Turn OFF Automatic Updates, and Turn OFF Wi-Fi Only.

If you leave these on, any potential root option will be patched by Samsung/Google before you know it exists. Disable it for now so you can find an exploit for the build the device is on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Delgoth:
UPDATE:

So apparantly, I've had a rooted 6.0.1 PI2 device persistent through factory resets for over a week, but didn't realize just how much was achieved on my device! According to diagnostics.

I'm already started on writing up the combination of methods that the OP was walking into. Turns out it works up to the September patch too.

But lucky me and not you this time. I got my device essentially decommissioned because I ran my code too soon. But in the sweetest possible way after being so pissed when my tech coach said my warranty was void.

By the end of tomorrow night I should have a thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] d0lph:
Anyone still working on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Delgoth:
Yes. Using the dirtycow vulnerability we've managed to get an arm64 version running that will indeed allow a root console on MM builds.

The last thing standing in the way, for at least a tethered root, is for someone to help me convert the script from the flashable zip version of the SuperSu installer into basically a batch script. Because the how-to guide ChainFire wrote in comments inside his installer script is kind of hard to read because it covers all the different versions of android in a tiny block of text and not every device sets up the same SELinux environment.

Not to mention, if I could get SuperSU to try and install itself as a System Application, it would probably work with what I have already. But for some reason I CANNOT find a single guide anywhere on how to perform a "System" Install of SuperSU, everyone wants to use the "Systemless" version, which is NOT going to work I believe.

We can manage booting the device in the event of DM-Verity Failure, when that happens with the 5.1.1 OG ENG Kernel, we can indeed mount "/system" as read/write, and we can indeed change the contents of the System partition that persist through a reboot.

I just need help setting Perms & Contexts. Because at one point in time, I DID actually manage to get SuperSU to give me a root shell instead of a user shell, but only on the ADB Command Line. In that test I could not get an application to start from the launcher and have Root Permissions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Rand0lph:
Thank you for taking the time to still work on this. Subscribed. Following this to the T.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Delgoth:
If you want to follow the complete story of what I just mentioned please follow and contribute to this thread: Injecting Root & Setting SELinux - End Stages?

This is the thread that contains the Greyhat Root console, first designed for the AT&T Galaxy Note 5. But that device uses the same Exynos7420 Mainboard as the Galaxy S6 Edge, so the project is still compatible.

I haven't kept the OP maintained as I should yes. But it is actually worth it to read that whole thread as [MENTION=7945178]droidvoider[/MENTION] went out of his way explaining some of his methods. I have a bit of R&D that isn't posted in that thread as well, if you can read up on the project. I'd be more than happy to share what I know with anyone wanting to help as long as they can catch up with what we have accomplished so far.

Look at some of the other threads I've started as well for the initial methods.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Rand0lph:
Sorry, I didn't even acknowledge this is for the EDGE S6. I have a regular Verizon S6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Delgoth:
I don't really think that matters as much for the thread I referred to.

I tested the Greyhat Root Console on my S7 Edge, and it worked as well using the September build.

The S6 Line plus the Note 5, all use the same System on a Chip.

If anything, there may be just a couple tweaks to make when compiling it using the NDK.

It worked for me .. I did the same...

First

download the required files from the given link: [50mb]

[https://mega.nz/#!1NhDTQoR!cP7vrchwswOfj3oHQ5saZ2d0JkcmunEn5pqyOcpZDoE

INSTRUCTIONS: [redmi note 3]

1. Get into fastboot mode. Charge the phone first. Hold the power button and the volume down button simultaenously.

2. If you can open your current rom, open developer options by clicking on the build no several times in the about phone menu in settings. and select allow oem unlocking and usb debugging.

3. if not leave it... go on and connect your phone to the PC while in fastboot mode.

BUT, before that: open Command prompt on your PC. (search it on the search box). right click on it and open it in administrator mode.

First of all, i'd like to thank everyone here for their contributions to Kaiser development and every other PPC on this forum. I've been a lurker here for some time and have benefited greatly from the info here. That being said... I am still very much a newbie to this stuff.

OK... I recently bought the Tilt and I am anxious to start flashing and configuring. Browsing these forums, I have seen many different ROMS that have been cooked up. They all seem so great... I am having a tough time figuring out which one I want to go with.

I know that you are able to emulate WM6 on a regular PC. Is it possible to flash a ROM on this emulated version of WM6? Maybe boot directly to a specific ROM? I'd like to experiment as much as possible on my PC before taking the plunge with the Tilt.

Thanks again!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatteryMentor:
Does it seem like your phone charges very quickly until the battery gets close to full and then charging slows down dramatically? To answer this question, we decided to run a test to see how fast phones charge at different battery levels. For this test, we’re going to use a new tool called Battery Mentor for real-time measurements of the charging speed.

For more details about Battery Mentor, please see here:

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-battery-mentor-t3498470

Test Procedure:

Set the screen brightness to the max setting for consistent results across different battery levels and devices

Close all apps running in the background

Charge or let the battery drain to the desired level

Launch Battery Mentor

Connect the charger

Wait for 30 seconds or until the charging power stabilizes

Make a note of the power value

Repeat steps 1-7 for various battery levels

Devices:

We ran the test on several devices to see if the behavior varies from device to device:

Nexus 6 (2014, November)(Android 7.0) - Li-Po 3220 mAh battery

Nexus 5 (2013, October)(Android 6.0.1) - Li-Po 2300 mAh battery

Nexus 7 (2013, July)(Android 4.4.2)- Li-Ion 4325 mAh battery

Results:

Observations and Discussion:

In the 1-80% range, the charging power remains consistent across all devices.

The charging power varies across different devices. This is most likely due to battery technology as the newest device had the fastest charging speeds (Nexus 6 - 2014, November) and the oldest device had the slowest charging speeds (Nexus 7 – 2013, July).

The charging power drops off dramatically in the 80-100% range for the Nexus 6. This can be attributed to a technique called Trickle Charging, which reduces the charging current to extend the battery lifespan. It’s interesting to note that the neither the Nexus 5 nor the Nexus 7 exhibited this technique.

Conclusions:

Some devices do slow down charging dramatically the when the battery starts getting close to full. This can be explained by a technique called Trickle Charging, which reduces the charging current once the battery level reaches 80% to extend the lifespan of the battery.

The above observation is important when you try different charging cables with Battery Mentor or another charging app. Please check to make sure your battery level is at 80% or less when evaluating a charger.

Does your battery on your device behave the same way or differently? Would you like us to run more tests like this in the future? Let us know in the comments!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rignfool:
Uhhh... Guys...

All batteries do that... From the simple Ni-Cad all the way to the more complex li-ion...

Whether it has the circuitry for quick charge or not...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatteryMentor:
Agreed - this behavior is due to an unrelated feature called Trickle Charging. This feature reduces the charging current to extend the battery lifespan and isn't limited to devices that have the circuitry for quick charge (as you mentioned, it's not even limited to batteries in mobile devices). We just want to make sure that people understand this feature and why it's important to have the battery level at 80% or less when evaluating chargers.

This feature also appears to be a bit more complex in terms of when it actually affects the charging rate. In our test, the charging power for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 did not go down when the battery level reached 80%. We suspect this is either because the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 circuitry doesn't have the trickle charging technology or because the charging speed (~4W for the Nexus 5 and ~3W Nexus 7) is below a certain threshold, so charging speed is unaffected when the battery level reaches 80%. That's just a hypothesis though - if there's a better explanation, we'd love to hear it!
