[Q] Confirm ROOT method? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6

Can anyone confirm if there is a working ROOT method (i.e. Chainfire Auto for T-Mo) That will work on OE2?

I just rooted with ping pong, and then used flashify for twrp. Had to run pingpong twice but now rooted with custom recovery without a problem.

You wouldn't happen to have the sixaxis app would you? I'm trying to confirm it will work before rooting

Ping pong will keep your knox intact, however once you flash custom recovery, knox is tripped. Just an fyi.

I just rooted without tripping the Knox flag. There's a thread in the Original Development section about it. It's a fairly simple process

If you want to flash roms then you should go with the auto root method. This just gives root access.

Just double checking that no one is bricking with it.
Although with att root can I auto root later? I like phone as is minus bloat for now.
You said you don't care about knox so why go down that road?

[Q] lost root still have supersu installed

yesterday I upgraded to 4.1.2 from my t mobile s3.. and now that when I try to open any root applications like titanium backup and greenify it says root access needed. I downloaded root checker.. and it says *you have no proper root access*.. I don't know how the supersu is still installed?? and it can not be uninstalled..? I tried to uninstall from the settings and asked me to reboot.. but still supersu was there? can anyone tell me how to permanently uninstall it so that I can root my phone again and clean install a supersu?
note: I did not have any custom rom installed. . was just having root access and supersu. .
How did you update? I'm guessing you have no custom recovery so if you want to keep everything stock but just have root, then flash the MD5 or respective root66 image for your phone in Odin

Just because you have Supersu does not mean you are rooted. What is the version after update ?

I updated from the notification bar on my mobile.. and yeah I did not have custom recovery either. . should I just root my phone again? I don't know what to do.. I have frozen some of the bloatware from titanium and I can't get them back? even after force stopping titanium backup.. ?
thanks.. I force stopped supersu and disabled it from there.. and it gone away..

If you want to root it use cf-auto root to root, re-enable supersu if you decide to do this

[Q] Rooting after the new update(10m)

I haven't seen a clear answer on this, so does anybody know what root methods still work after the new update? If they all still do, is there anything I should do differently in the rooting process?
You have to wait till one of the methods gets an upgrade
BAD ASS G3
Well seeing as how the d851 boot loader is shipping unlocked from T-Mobile I think it would be pretty safe to say that once you manage to properly install the 10m OTA, you would simply flash TWRP from purpledrake in fastboot and from there flash supersu.

I used Stump root and mine is rooted again. I had to use the brute force root to get it done in Stump. After that I installed SuperU, TWRP and Busy Box.

Purpledrake probably replaced the M boot.img with the C boot.img. If it did that means your back on the C kernel and if it didn't you no longer have the modded disabled root checker.

Hi, you can flash twrp using Odin. I used Odin 3.11 , loaded the tar image of twrp into AP. I unchecked auto reboot then flashed it. Disconnect your device, reboot by pressing power, vol down an home together for about 10 seconds.
Important: As soon as the screen goes off switch your finger from vol down to vol up while pressing the other two buttons. This will ensure recovery is booted. If you dont boot recovery it gets wiped. Once in twrp you can install supersu.zip.
You may have to rename /system/recovery-boot.p (not the exact name) to something else to prevent stock recovery being installed.
There is lots of info on this. Also it will increase your Knox counter.

Thanks, I don't care about Knox... The tablet is two years old.
Can you share a link for working TWRP that will definitely works?

CF Autoroot is for 5.0.2 so Lollipop not Marshmallow. Chainfire hasn't done one for 6.01 yet and afaik the method for Marshmallow is system-less. Can anyone confirm that it works on 6.01?
Yes it works 100%

That's great! I was looking at the threads that say you have to flash TWRP then flash supersu.zip.
But to be sure about your thread as you may just be answering the OP request for TWRP, can I just use CFautoroot via Odin or do I need to first flash TWRP?

You do not need to flash twrp unless you want a custom recovery. You can just flash cf autoroot to achieve root.

Thanks, this is what I thought.
A friend wants me to do his T800 as well and I'm presuming the same CFAR (T800 version 5.0.2) should also work.

I used odin and downloaded the img.tar file for my G928T
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/zenltetmo/
Connect in download mode and simply load up the tar file and apply it, it should reboot into TRWP recovery automatically. Volume up + power + home button to manually boot into it.

Nah, completely wiped my phone, installed the 7.0 update via odin, then rebooted phone and flashed TWRP in download mode.
When you say "this" I assume youve tried other versions that have worked? If so, why not give that a shot.

I had the recovery I was using from MM but I also completely wiped then installed 7.0 in Odin. Only difference I rooted before trying twrp, maybe that effected it. I'll keep playing with it I'm sure I'll figure it out. I was just curious if you needed a custom kernel. Thanks again for the help and link to root.
