S6 CF-Auto-Roots are available from the repository at http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ !
Nice, looking forward for it
Will test as soon as my device arrives.
I am afraid of this statement:
Before actually rooting though, consider that KNOX will likely be tripped, and there's a good chance untripped KNOX will be required for phone based payments.

As samsung pay is a feature I could use frequently. At the same time, I can't live without apps that requires root access to run.

Can someone that has a T-Mobile S6 please test this?! If so, then I honestly might not root my S6 -_- unless someone comes up with a way to not trip Knox.
The s6 is out now?
No, but there are enough engineers at service centers, distributors, inside Samsung itself, who already have one, leak the necessary files, and test the roots, for this to be available already.
thank you chainfire you do the best for all users

Hiya CF.
Awesome work!
Me=Big Fan.
Silly question. I just per-ordered a T-Mobile GS6 Edge (128). I would very much like to root it. If you could, would you link the correct download from your repository for this particular Phone/Model?
Thanks,
-NJ
Does this require wipe? Bootloader unlock?
What is the model number of the S6 (Tmobile) if any one knows?

Can confirm the model number. Guess root isn't available yet. Not used to using browser without adblock
Not working here either. I just received my T-Mobile GS6 today and I can't get it to apply the root. Odin just keeps failing.
Could it be the out-of-the-box OTA we received? Or was this ever actually working?

It's the ota we received. The build id of the software we have doesn't match what chain fire has posted on his site. Wait for him to update

Ya I tried it before then went ahead and took the update. l remembered much people saying samsung/tmobile usual sends a update at launch that improves things so wanted to get that out the way.
Ive searched and found 2 solutions, first being use rootcloak, second being disable supersu in supersu settings. Unfourtunatly none of those work for me and i still get the "unable to verify android verson" error. Anyone have any success with another method? Im running viper 3.5.0

You might not be able to use Android Pay with a custom ROM.
I think that's the deal. I do use it , before google wallet work just fine .

It did work for me too, is annoying now , now the phone has to have a lock screen set up. Google Wallet had better . It does look better to the eye though
For now, there is no guaranteed way to maintain both root & use Android Pay. XDA featured an explanation on the portal that was offered by one of Google's security engineers. It's fairly straightforward, if disappointing for anyone who wants both.
Mine stop working after a day ,
I just uninstall it , I was happy cuz it was annoying having the screen lock with a pin or pattern

I do use it too . Ohh well
I like the new UI looked way more polished than wallet lol
no info/answer on this i have not tried android pay before but good to know all issues for when needed.
has anyone tried dirty flashing a stock rom setting up android pay then dirty flashing back to the wanted rom?
Hello
any 6.0 versions out there with integreated Android PAY ?
I get it to add cards by:
chmod 751 /su/bin
then
renaming xbin_bind folder
As far as working haven't tried it yet
what do you rename to the xbin_bind folder to? doesn't seem to be working for me

Anything but xbin_bind.
I'm wondering about this too. I guess in the meantime I could always get a contactless credit card and superglue it to the back of the phone. To emulate the NFC effect, I could just turn on the torch.
I've been waiting for ages for a root for A5CN701, yet no one has even tried to figure it out
I've also found a lot of posts showing how to downgrade to 5.0 but no one has made a detailed instruction and confirmed that it works!
Seriously, i've been dying for a method to root!
Anyone has any idea, please share at this topic! Much appreciated!
I'm in the same situation as you. I have been waiting for root too or the instructions how to downgrade to previous version.
This is by far the best Android tablet that I have ever used (previosly had Nexus 7 2013) and when you take it to hand and start use it you immediately feel what the quality means.

Kingroot?
You might want to see if Kingroot can root it. (It's here on xda.) It worked on my lockdown Tracfone.

Nothing to contact - just download their .apk and run it. You need a wi-fi connection while it's trying to root.

Assuming your downloaded .apk isn't corrupted (try downloading it again), you need to install the .apk (as opposed to "running" it). I assume you tried to install it, but I'm just covering the bases. Perhaps Lolipop has a security feature that prevents Kingroot from installing? (Although Kingroot says it works w/ 5.0.) And I presume you have allowed "unknown sources" to install under Settings > Security?

I tried everything at my disposal including automatic-rooting programs like KingRoot, no results!
Thanks for the suggestion anyway

Sorry to hear it didn't work. That, and the lack of ext SD, have convinced me to buy an Asus Zenpad S 8 instead. Cheaper too!
Losing Android Pay is really the only thing keeping me on the stock ROM. Is this something that devs are even looking into or has everyone just resigned themselves to not using it if you want a custom ROM?

Easy enough to achieve, depends on how the developer implements root in their ROM.

I checked the LeeDroid thread and multiple people have reported it working. I'd just be paranoid with every AP update that it will no longer work.
Speaking off android pay, can you hide the annoying NFC icon from statusbar without root? I use my mobile banking app a lot and my bank app won't work with rooted phones (found that out on my M8). I am aware that I need the NFC on for Android Pay to work but I wish it could just turn itself on when needed

No, unfortunately you're stuck with the icon without root.
Android Pay also works on Badboyz Sprint ROM. I used it yesterday at Walgreens.....

Hi. Noob, kinda, here...
I'm on LeeDrOid r110, systemless xposed and SuperSu, but have yet to get Android Pay to work. I've even tried disabling Xposed and SuperSu, which only crashes as I try to add a credit card, specifically, once I press the "+" icon, my screen goes black, then it crashes and I get the Android Pay white loading screen. How do you have it set up?
Oh, I'm on 1.80.xxxx, S-Off...

Xposed breaks android pay as it modifies the system. How are you "disabling" it? Did you flash the removal .zip in recovery? If not I would try that first and see if you can get Android Pay working. If you have done that and android pay is still not working I would flash the appropriate RUU to get back to stock, unrooted, then go through the steps to root (systemless) and flash your rom, but do not install xposed. It SHOULD work after that.

Hi Bladerunner.
Thanks for replying. Didn't realize how old this thread was until after posting.
I'm using the Systemless Xposed v85.7 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
There's a "Disable Xposed" toggle, I guess similar to SuperSu also has a toggle. I want Xposed more than I want Android Pay. Maybe these people that are Unlocked, Rooted, S-Off, and running LeeDrOid don't have Xposed install and that's why their Android Pay is working.
Anyway, I'm just a bit OCD or unrealistic in thinking I can have it all.
And I would "Thank" you, but reached my quota today. Will make up tomorrow.
Cheers...
Android Pay works without issue on a systemless rooted stock ROM even... Just don't modify system and you're good. For now anyway.

Hi schmeggy.
Any chance you don't have Xposed installed? I don't see it listed in your signature. I think that's the true culprit. Beside being on different ROM, I'm on LeeDrOid which is systemless, Xposed is the only difference with your setup.

Thank you for your feedback.
I've tried to maintain systemless, but still no joy. There are posts that state Android Pay works for them and my HTC 10 would be complete if I can solve this issue.
FYI...
Since I love picking at scabs, can't leave well enough alone, and have a severe case of update-itus, last one is a whole different can of worms, I followed my hunch and hope this will help anyone else curioused/interested.
I dirtied flashed my ROM, LeeDrOid, which delete/wrote-over, idk because they're the geniuses, not me, the Xposed Framework, I was able to verify via SafetyNet Helper and being able to add a credit card in Android Pay, that YES, Xposed Framework bunks Android Pay. I will try to make a purchase during lunch today and will update.

Too bad we havent been able to figure out a xposed app that tricks safetynet api into thinking its all good, then we could have it all
yea, even with systemless xposed, you still need to disable xposed via the toggle switch, and then reboot to get android pay to work. I managed to get my 2gb of free verizon data for making 3 soda purchases at work. Although, on a semi related note, android pay doesnt like one of my CC's with SE chip, it likes my other 2 just fine.
Anyone flash the newest ota? Any differences?
Just updated yesterday. I was hoping it would finally be on 5.1.1 but don't see any difference. Still had the annoying priority notifications and heads up notifications. Glad to see someone else is still squeezing life outta their note 3.
Is there a root out for this firmware yet?

There are a lot of users out there otherwise this update wouldn't have happened. They need to have a certain amount of users to justify updating. I'm glad as this phone is still a beast, and going strong.

Root works like any other recent version. Just look in the threads for the method you want. If it worked at least for four versions ago, it should still work now.

You don't need to use kingroot. Just flash TWRP via download mode and flash SuperSU.
This is really great! What security update does it have? It would be really great to have a deodexed version. I tried on the previous

The firmware version is great. Custom roms usually come deoxed. Try magma ux build
