Guys, can you please tell me what doesn't work on s6 after rooting that's important. I remember earlier that the fingerprint scanner didn't work, does fingerprint scanner works now?

Magisk saying 'rooted but no root permissions allowed'.

What should I do to get root permissions?

UPDATE: I noticed that while installing v11.6 or unofficial 12.0 through TWRP, it doesn't install magiskSU.

I tried installing v11.1 and v9. Only 11.1 installs magiskSU, but it puts the device into a bootloop.

I came out of the bootloop by upgrading back to v11.6/v12

Same issue.

UPDATE 2: Reflashing stock firmware and TWRP and then flashing v11.1 did NOT put me into a bootloop and successfully gave full root access.

But I tried to update magisk to a newer version after gaining root access and it put me into the same problem and downgrading to v11.1 again put me into a bootloop.

Reflashed everything again flashed v11.1 and I have root access. So basically, the newer versions have a problem and downgrading puts the device into a bootloop.

SIDE NOTE: If odin is failing to reflash the stock firmware, this really helps.

[Galaxy S6 General] Dexter_prog:
can anyone explain how to install this twrp thing? I searched and got to the download site and I get this warning:

This device uses dm-verity!

This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab.

https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys6.html

I've no idea what they mean by that
[Galaxy S6 General] shahram Ali:
swipe to allow modifications then install magisk and dm-verfity will be disabled :p
[Galaxy S6 General] Dexter_prog:
swipe where? I haven't even tried yet as I don't want to get into a bootloop
[Galaxy S6 General] shahram Ali:
Bro just flash twrp and it will ask you for modification u need to swipe the bar then u can modify system after this flash magisk u wont get into bootloop if you do this correctly :highfive:

Is there a root available for AT&T s6 EDGE 7.0 G925A ??

Searched everywhere but can't seem to find if this is rootable.
[Galaxy S6 General] Dan_Aykroyd:
Hi guys,

I've flashed all of these correctly to my Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925I). The only thing I noticed was that, when trying to uninstall system apps with Titanium Backup, it would go OK, but after a reset, they would show up again. I've tried this several times and it has always been the same.

I think it has something to do with the "systemless root" thing, right? I've always flashed the classic SuperSU (first time Magisk), so I have no idea what exactly is the difference. Even though I've been reading a lot about it trying to understand, it goes over my head.

Can somebody confirm me if it's possible to uninstall bloatware with Titanium in this setup? If not, any way to make it work?

Thanks in advance.

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] -=MoRpH=-:
WARNING: I am not responsible for damage to your phone through this guide, follow at your own risk.​

Its only tested on EU Singlesim devices!!!!

​

First of all, thanks to [MENTION=338451]ilovemeow[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4539224]tomparr[/MENTION] ! :good:

We all know, it was on the Moto X Play easy to "unlock" the DualSim ability by flash a firmware with including a DSDS Baseband. But Moto changed the Firmware layout. On the Moto Z Play are all basebands in the /fsg folder and after a modem wipe (dualsim=true or false) loads the matching baseband to modemst1 and modemst2. The settings for dualsim=true and the software channel are not editable right now.

So the trick is to get the baseband for dualsim in to the modem. I found a easy but dirty way to get the DSDS baseband loaded.

You need a Moto Z Play SingleSim Device (Mine is from Germany with RETEU)

Now the step by step guide:

1. boot in to twrp open the terminal and type

setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds

(thx to [MENTION=338451]ilovemeow[/MENTION] again ;) )

2. boot and make sure you got the Dualsim options in the Settings. If yes goto 3. If not load a Terminal Emulator from playstore and type there the command from 1.

3. Got to the settings and look which baseband you use now! Its important to note that!!

3. Open the RootExplorer and navigate tot he fsg Folder. You will find there a bunch of im.gz files (like addison_2.img.gz and addison_dsds_2.img.gz and so on…)

4. You must make sure which file for your phone is the right one (For the EU Phones its Addison_ROW and addisson_2.img.gz) You will see that the numbered files are linked to the other file in the folder. See the Picture.

5. Now you have to delete the baseband your phone use normally. At the EU Devices addisson_2.img.gz and addisson_row.img.gz

6. Now comes the magic! xD Just rename the dsds files from addisson_dsds_2.img.gz to adisson_2.img.gz and addison_dsds_row.img to addison_row.img.gz.

7. Reboot to bootloader and enter

fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

now you can use both cards! :highfive: :victory:

NOTES:

1.	there some bugs in the dialer! You cant save the settings that a specific number automatic called by sim1 or sim2

2.	Second SIM Card/Modem only got IMEI 0! But works in German Networks without a problem.

3.

You can loose your of sim1/modem IMEI if you do something wrong!

4. You got a bit more battary drain.

5. You can restore the default settings with just flashing the fsg.mbn file!

Normally you have on the single sim devices a second slot for the 2nd sim. The place for the sim is filled with a plastic shield that can be easy removed.

So... the single SIM Moto Z Play has two SIM card slots but isn't capable of using both or is the SD card slot a hybrid one?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] -=MoRpH=-:
That's only one step, you have to delete the modem "cache" so that the modem files got new loaded from the files.

The standard setting is that you can use one sim with one SIM card. But the Hardware is capable of using two cards if you remove the placeholder on slot 2.

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] VR25:
I did, but under Lineage OS. The dual SIM option appeared, but got no dual SIM functionality. So, the trick didn't work. I'm pretty sure it works with the stock RETUS ROM though!

WARNING: my IMEI ended up being 0 (zero) under settings and after *#06#, but not on Bootloader (fastboot getvar IMEI outputed the actual IMEI).

Reflashed back to stock, and everything went back to normal (got the IMEI back).

Edit: reflashing just fsg.mbn, and clearing modem cache doesn't fix the "zero IMEI" issue. You have to restore the stock system partition as well.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] A1C_Malone:

Thanks.

Just to be safe, I recommend you back up fsg, modem, modemst1, and modemst2 before proceeding.

I use this app for that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.partitions
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] A1C_Malone:
How do I do that? Just do a full back up on my phone and store it on a SD card
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] VR25:
Do a nandroid backup with TWRP as you normally would, if you want to. I personally find that unnecessary for this particular trick though.

However, the partitions aforementioned are extremely important to back up before touching fsg's files. You can't back up those with TWRP. Just install the app I mentioned and use it to back up the 4 partitions. The app itself is very straight forward. Just select the partitions one by one, and backup.

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Ravensysteam:
Okay I finally managed to do it starting from scratch.

1) I flashed back to the marshmallow Stock EU ROM by using the Downgrade Tool (Firmware RETEU can be found here)

2) Booted the Smartphone, then did every single Software-Update via official OTA

3) I downloaded the FS2-Kernel (here) and THIS version of Super SU and put both files onto the moto z play

4) Rebooted the Smartphone into bootloader and installed THIS TWRP from Alberto97 (it is kinda confusing because there is also an official one, an chinese one and one modified from tomparr) via fastboot flash recovery DO NOT REBOOT

5) Navigated to boot into recovery

6) Flashed the FS2 Kernel DO NOT REBOOT (or ROM will get stuck on Bootscreen!) then immediately after that flash Super SU

7) Reboot, go to the Play Store and buy Root explorer (because total commander and all other apps didnt work correctly)

8) then proceed with the Instructions as OP put in the post. I am still not aware how exactly you determine which baseband you have to delete/rename but I have the same phone as OP so it worked for me

Now I got Dual-SIM! :)

Greetings
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] tag68:
You should be able to use any file explorer if you delete the right symbolic link.

addisson_2.img.gz (file 1a) refers to addisson_row.img.gz (file 2a)

addisson_dsds_2.img.gz (file 1b) refers to addison_dsds_row.img (file 2b)

If you delete 1b and 2a and rename 2b to 2a, 1a will still point to 2a. The symbolic link stays pointed to the same file location, independent of its existence or renaming.

Disclaimer: Currently I don't have planned to enable Dual-SIM on my own device. Did not do it myself. Maybe it does not work this way. Just want to give hints how to do this free of cost. I don't say root explorer wouldn't be worth its money, don't use it, but last time I asked it was not said to be able to preserve timestamps which Total Commander does. Do what you want on your own cost and risk.
