[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] NerdTronik:
Ok, I have a problem with the adb, I tried many times but it still freezing and my cellphone screen too, I searched in the internet many ways to mount the system partition as read and write but all failed. Im thinking that the problem is the nougat version, I have the J1 and Im downloading the D1. Pst, the drivers and the cables are ok, I used another adb codes and they worked.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DDwhite:
Seems like it only works on Qd1, so if have updated QI1 or QJ1, got to flash back to Qd1 to get it to work

...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] NerdTronik:
I flashed DQD1 via Odin and after that, I flashed the .tar, but it still freezing my screen, I tried first without flashing the .tar because after flashing the firmware, the custom logo appeared. But again, the adb process failed, itsn freezed like the other but was unable to copy the su.img

I did the same process that you made, so, I don't know why this happen, can you please assist this?? The phone doesn't matter, I just want to prove if this really work. I'll be amazed if this really do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DDwhite:
I´m facing the same problem on my device as [MENTION=6238769]NerdTronik[/MENTION] , just frezes when try to remount system as rewritable.. No succes as yet and I'm on Qd1 with the same kernel version.. Dont know How you Got to succesfully Remounted the system..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Pow_2k:
Another one stuck scratching my head with the phone locking when the batch script gets to the first adb shell mount command. The flash to DQD1 (from here, all 4 files) went fine. Flashed the new boot image without issue, reboot reflects custom image. Enabled debugging, connected with ADB, but that mount would be the final thing that would occur. Hoping this is just something we need clarified in the instructions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] faw_wal:
Ok for all of your problem tonight i will make a youtube video learn how to root with the proof of it ☺?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] motorec:
Thanks for the root! Tell me, after I get the root of what custom firmware I can put? I understand you only need the development of verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Pow_2k:
I did a Google for the the boot image file name and came across this link:

http://www.techzai.com/eng-root-file-samsung-android-7-nougat/

NOTE: I accessed this via Google's cache, and with NoScript plugin in Firefox. The firewall I was accessing through blocked the site for a reason... unsure if that could be that it isn't safe, work just didn't want me going there during business, etc. Go at your own risk.

But one thing that was noted in those instructions was to not only enable USB Debugging, but to also enable OEM Unlock in the developer options.

The thread for the S7 (which I think would apply but we just need to use the later released S6 boot image) mentions disabling secure startup. https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039

Might have time to play around with this more during the coming weekend, but maybe [MENTION=6407651]faw_wal[/MENTION] or another member will get additional info before then.

I was made a video about method but from begin when i flash the reactivation lock was on and now it's locked if you want a video with a proof i can post it for you and tomorrow i will post the full video do you want a proof video now ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DDwhite:
Don't you think your omitting a step??, we all follow each step you pointed in the instructions and got the same problem, devices just freezes when execute the root.bat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] NerdTronik:
I think that it will be nice, I'll be waiting for it in a few hours. We just want to solve the errors, exactly the mounting system partition process.

can you tell me how to do that? when i double click root.bat my homegreen freezy?

I was doing a research and found this thread with the same problem as us ,seems like its knox that blocking the system remount.https://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s6/general/root-att-samsung-g920a-s6-g925a-s7edge-t3564637
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] NerdTronik:
Oh nice, it's just seems impossible until somebody find the method to write in the system partition, in the thread you posted here, there was a man saying that we need to flash or do something before run root.bat, he didn't checked before but, sounds like a development.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Arethmetik:
i think i know why it freezes

i think it freezes because the bootloader is still locked. maybe faw_wal was able to unlock the bootloader by flashing something. im not too sure but i read it on here https://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s6...25a-s7edge-t3564637/post73484691#post73484691

Adb keeps saying device not found. Any Help ? Rom - DQE1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DDwhite:
Does anyone have the same exact kernel version as [MENTION=6407651]faw_wal[/MENTION] ?? I recently flash the stock Qd1 and then the engineering root , but my kernel is 3.10.61 -eng
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] AndroidFan16:
I even tried that via ADB, remounting system as rw will freeze the phone.

I'm not too sure about flashing a QD1 firmware because I flashed the firmware and it shrinked my storage space partition to 16gb and I have a 128gb version.

The system RW remount issue is in the Q&A thread. So that's why I am picky of this root method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] AndroidFan16:
This root method will not work on ANY baseband

He must've did it with this method WITHOUT the CB modem and CVC on https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/g920vvrs4dqd1-odin-nougat-7-0-firmware-t3597007 while flashing the firmware

I've tried it and downgraded myself to QD1, but I still couldn't get it to remount the system as r/w. And if I flash without CB and CVC, I couldn't call anybody. So this root method is 50/50 a joke tbh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DDwhite:
That would explain why he had airplane mode active.. Guest we got to stick with only shell root.. Until someone finally unlock the bootloader(maybe never).. This issue has me sick, damn u verizon :mad:...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] aceisaneight:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] NerdTronik:
I watched the whole video and I saw more steps than you said [MENTION=6407651]faw_wal[/MENTION] , a question for you, it's completely necessary to have win 7? And thanks for the rom download link.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Pow_2k:
My questions from the vid...

About 1:00, you're using a different version of Odin than you've linked to and different versions (or simply renamed versions?) of the ROM. There is no MD5 check done by Odin. Does any of this matter? (I'm new to Odin so this all may be irrelevant and just something I'm not familiar with... both the Nougat ROM and the later engineering kernel do flash without errors for me.)

About 5:40, you say you are doing these steps because you need to bypass Samsung account activation? The steps shown are launching settings and triggering a factory reset, which then you are prompted for a Samsung login, and then you set up WiFi for it to authenticate, followed by returning to the factory reset prompt and issuing a reboot. Was a wipe actually done? In the 7:20ish sped up section where you step through the wizard, I noticed that you never got prompted for the Samsung account. Is this because you entered it previously (in the wipe prompt, without actually wiping) so you weren't prompted for it here? If you know the account from earlier why not just enter (or skip it) here? I don't know if this matters in getting root but I don't understand the logic of these steps.

Nowhere in the video did we ever see anything about enabling USB debugging in developer options. Is this a setting that gets stored between factory resets? (Even though we didn't see any reset occur in the vid)

I'm still getting stuck in the first mount command of the script. Something is still blocking that from being allowed. Or maybe instead something else is happening? I would have expected if the command isn't authorized that it would have been rejected instead of just both hanging in adb and hanging the phone.

Finally, your first screenshot is from a screen titled "Software Info". I don't have such a screen on my phone, all this data is in the primary "About Phone" screen. Additionally my "About Phone" screen has a different list of items. All the versions listed in your screens match what I've got, with the exception someone else had mentioned that the changelist version number is missing from the kernel version section. (3.10.61-eng versus 3.10.61-10981169-eng)

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

I would doubt it. So long as drivers, Odin, and ADB work in your version of the OS I can't see why the OS would be dependent on this working.

But for the record, I am trying this on Win7 Pro and having problems, but it is the phone ignoring/rejecting/locking on the ADB command to remount /system in rw. (mount -o rw,remount /system)

I Don't Know My laptop Not Very Strong to have win 10 But I Think It's Not necessary
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] faw_wal:
I'm using the same version of odin it's just renamed yes there isn no md5 check done with odin because i previous check from the rom if you install a new rom you have to check md5 if success you can remove check md5 to don't waste your time or maybe my laptop isn't too strong so it's take a very long time to check md5

and about 5:40 this is samsung reactivation bypass no it's not actually wipe but if you go to account and try to add a new samsung account you can't do it but there is bug you can add a different samsung account in factory reset option and when show signed in do a reboot now it's bypassed samsung account yes when i speed it's not show samsung account requierd because i input samsung account so when he get to show up he look that's he already signed in to samsung account and i don't know the account the bug is that's you have to create new samsung account from account.samsung.com and sign in with factory reset option if you noticed i can't do wipe because it's now the original samsung account it's not matter to root method but for me i can't skip setup wizard without bypass it and every time i wipe or install new rom i have to bypass it because i can't set reactivation lock to off

no when you flash engenering boot image it's already activate usb debugging

kernel version it will be like this 3.10.61-eng versus 3.10.61-10981169-eng when you flash the engenring boot image can you tell me what is your baseband verison and did the same of my rom version

Yeah, I think this is where we are all getting stuck. It is definitely where things fall apart for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DDwhite:
This will never work unless we mount system as rw, i was reviewing the root.bat source code and tried the rest of lines: adb shell mount -o rw,remount rootfs /, adb shell rm /data/su.img >NUL and so on. all work except for these two:adb push launch_daemonsu.sh /system/etc/launch_daemonsu.sh , adb push init.sec.boot.sh /system/etc/init.sec.boot.sh.... logical because the system is read only.. i tried adb remount and it says smu_protection is enabled on system partition , mount failed.. dont know how [MENTION=6407651]faw_wal[/MENTION] devices didnts frezes when the mount system command was executed...

Can You Install TeamViewer in your device and control with your device to get what cause of this problem because it's not facing me So I Can't Detect what is the problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] faw_wal:
Ok it's not a problem so if it's not the same version of my odin it's not a problem if operation of flash success

You Welcome :)

The part it's not necessary To Make Exploit Success this part it's just for mine because every time flash a new rom i have to bypass samsung reactivation so it's not a problem with you if you don't have samsung reactivation on your setup wizard

OK :)

Yes My First language it's not English No I Don't need baseband version i need kernel version can you screenshot about phone

i think the problem is that the flash of engineering boot image it's not successful so please post what is your kernel version

Kernel info after flash to DQD1:

3.10.61

dpi@SWHE0721 #1

Wed Apr 5 22:03:08 KST 2017

Kernel info after engineering is flashed over DQD1:

3.10.61-eng

dpi@SWHE9407 #1

Wed Apr 5 22:04:17 KST 2017

The kernel definitely changes after the flash.

I will note that the boot immediately after the engineering kernel flash with Odin does NOT show the "custom" unlock icon... that doesn't show up until the next reboot. Maybe this is because once the flash completes and the boot is triggered it is a warm boot? Either way, the ADB mount doesn't work for me after any boot with the engineering kernel.

I'm wondering if this is key. The S6 I'm working with was at something later than DQD1 when I got it. For anyone else trying this, what is the history of your devices? Going right from an LP ROM to Nougat DQD1, or rolling back to DQD1 from something later?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DDwhite:
This maybe could be the key , cause i was on QI1 thats later than QD1.. and im getting the same problem as the rest..if anyone who's tried it was lower than QD1 (like faw_wal) and get the same problem , please report
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] faw_wal:
No The boot it's flashed successfully because your kernel show "eng" Word in it I Update from LP ROM to Nougat DQD1

when i was on LP i use [MENTION=6221912]MrMike2182[/MENTION] Script to root I Remember in his script it's change something in build.prop but i'm not sure if this will solve the problem :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] faw_wal:
Ok I Have An Idea :p i'm going to backup my rooted rom with flashfire as zip and upload it to you so you downgrade to LP OK7 Root it with [MENTION=6221912]MrMike2182[/MENTION] Script install flashfire and flash my zip nougat rooted rom and you will have an nougat rooted rom

My S6 was Lollipop when I got it. I've updated it progressively through the OTA updates, so I'm not sure if that changes anything. I'll give this a shot later this week and let you know what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] AndroidFan16:
I've done exactly what you did in the video. I even did a re-flash with my data erased.

This command

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system

is what's freezing my phone still. Especially with the modified boot.img and thats especially the phone being erased

I am STILL not sure how you pulled that off, concerning the video you posts you actually installed CP and CVC...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DDwhite:
i' ve downgraded to OK7 and got to succesfully root with the scripts. This rom not bad but has some issues after root with not been able to boot without running the rootatboot.cmd, Finger print sensor not working and Wifi password deletion.. i will be Waiting on your Upload..

In this rom the mount -o rw,remount /system... works like a charm.. No frezzze or Hang :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] faw_wal:
Can you downgrad to ok7 and root it i made a pre-rooted nougat rom but it's need flashfire so you have to downgrade to ok7 root and install my pre-rooted rom

Yes I know if you want to fix wifi install root explorer go to /system open build.prop edit ro.securestorage.support if it true change it to false and if it true change it to false

so the steps seem to work for me. I see the unlocked button at reboot and was able to view the file system on my PC. However, how do I get root permissions on the phone itself? I installed certain apps that work when rooted and they fail saying need root permissions (like system app remover, supersu).

Thanks for the response, but I did notice that... Perhaps I should have stated the question better:

If my current build is DQK1, how do I flash this?

Can it be flashed is over my current build? Is there something else I have to do such as downgrade (if possible)? Is there a whole other way to root DQK1? Or am I simply out of luck to root my phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] smithilberry:
So you had DQK1 and flashed the rooted rom over it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DDwhite:
I was on DQJ1 and downgraded to lollipop then rooted the rom and prior flash the prerooted nougat QD1 rom with flashfire..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] smithilberry:
Ohhh, ok... So downgrade, root, flash prerooted rom... However, can you downgrade without an unlocked bootloader? I will have to look into how to do this later. Until then, if you have a guide quickly retrievable, I would appreciate a link :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] stumyers:
I realize this is bold to ask as a first post but I will proceed...

I have the DQL1 build (and 3.10.61 kernel). I have rooted all my prior verizon phones. I miss having root on this one!

Has anyone successfully downgraded and rooted this build #?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Razr1:
Root access "works". Good tutorial. Unfortunately, it seems that no custom recovery exists due to G920V's lack of an unlocked bootloader. I feel like I lost functionality, if anything.

Furthermore, I am unable to perform simple root tasks without a freeze. I cannot mount /system for example (it just freezes). Therefore, basic root apps that change /system functions are deemed useless for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] stumyers:
I wonder if would have better luck buying an unlocked version of my next phone online and then putting in a Verizon sim card. based on the reading I've done, it seems like there are some drawbacks about service on the Verizon network without a "Verizon phone" but nothing too terrible. I imagine, but can't be certain, that buying an unlocked phone online would likely have an unlocked bootloader but suppose I would have to check the build number.

I found these forums to be amazingly helpful for years with all sorts of phones but I have found this particular phone on this carrier to be very frustrating.

So whats the verdict on this? too broken or not working? i have a spare s6 and would like to use it instead of my note 5 if it can be rooted (note 5 is a lost cause on verizon) :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] lyphe:
Rooting works. Root FS access does not. No rw permissions to /system yet. Hard lockup. I think if the rooted rom included Knox we may have a chance of Knox unlocking the partition with correct commands given (I know that sounds strange, but I think it worked for a Note model in the past)
