I have T999LUVUBNF4. Used Odin to install CWM Recovery (recovery works fine). I boot into recovery and flash SuperSU (version 2.0). It appears to flash fine, but when I reboot SuperSU is not in my app drawer and I donot have root. Tried it several times.
Download newest supersu version and flash again. If it still doesn't work, use cf-auto-root

I downloaded the latest OTA ATT update and then re-rooted and I cannot get CWM to stick. I unchecked auto reboot in Odin and pulled battery and booted into CWM. Installed superuser and rebooted. Now I can't get into CWM. I keep repeating the above steps but it seems that now anytime I reboot I lose CWM???? Thoughts?? I'm still running stock ROM.
There's something that has to be deleted when you Odin flash recovery. If you don't, it resets to stock when you reboot. Just use ROM manager to flash recovery, or use twrp to get away from stock recovery.

The OTA includes a script that is run every boot and that restores recovery to stock. You can remove that file by installing this zip in your custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1366357&d=1349037073. Install your custom recovery using ROM Manager or GooManager, reboot into recovery, install the zip, then reboot.
Hello friends,
I was on 4.3 and since today in 4.4.2 (works great)
I never was capable of making an recovery installed or work?
Root and Supersu works fine.
TWRP or CWM Recovery cannot be installed?
Suggestions?

Flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 tar file through odin, but make sure to untick " auto reboot " within odin before flashing.
Has anyone upgraded their firmware to PK6 and attempted to root? I don't have any issues flashing TWRP with Odin. None whatsoever. When I flash a SuperSU zip or a PHH Superuser zip, I cannot get past the T-Mobile boot animation. It freezes every time. Once this happens I cannot boot to recovery. I can only boot to Download Mode. Hell, I can't even power down my device after I flash a root zip. Just curios if anyone has dealt with this issue. I have attempted to flash SuperSu zips starting with the 2.71 Beta up to the 2.78 SR5 with zero luck. I've also tried with PHH Superuser and I get the same results. Can anyone shed and light on the subject?
After several failed attempts to root my Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928T) with the latest firmware update to 6.0.1, G928TUVU4DPK6, this is what I had to do to get a working root solution. At no time did I ever have a problem installing TWRP with Odin. Ive been using Odin 3.12.3 but I had the same issues with Odin 3.10.7.
I started with a clean slate and performed a fresh install of the stock firmware which I downloaded from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...al/sm-g928t-stock-odin-g928tuvu4dpk6-t3516310
After flashing the stock firmware with Odin 3.12.3 I did the basic setup on my device to make sure I could boot and everything was working. Next, I shut down my device and booted to Download Mode by using the key combination of Volume Down + Home + Power. Once booted into Download Mode I used Odin again to flash TWRP 3.0.2-0, which is available here:
https://dl.twrp.me/zenltetmo/
After the flash was complete I booted to recovery using Volume Up + Home + Power. When TWRP starts it will ask you if you want to swipe to allow system modification. If you swipe to allow system modifications you will trigger DM-Verity and you will not be able to boot normally unless you flash a custom kernel that has DM-Verity disabled in the fstab or you can flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip that I dowloaded from here:
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
The newest version available is 5.0
So, I swiped to allow system modifications. Next, I transferred the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip from my PC to my device and installed the zip in TWRP. Once this was completed, I transferred my root zip from my PC to my device. I used the PHH Superuser to root my device which is available here:
https://superuser.phh.me/superuser.zip
I installed the root zip in TWRP, wiped cache/dalvik cache and then selected Reboot System. I didnt know if I would be able to boot or not. I could never get past the T-Mobile boot animation each time I attempted to root this damn thing but low and behold everything went as planned and I was fully booted up and running. I went through the setup wizard and everything was working as it should.
I am using PHH Superuser instead of Chainfires SuperSU. Its a personal choice for me as I have been using PHH Superuser since the hand off of SuperSU to a new company, CCMT, LLC.
Once I was finally able to boot normally I downloaded PHH's app in the Play Store from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser
This is just my experience of what I had to do to get root working on my S6 Edge+. All of my root apps are working as designed. I cant remember the last time I didnt have a rooted device and it was starting to bother me. I was having root withdrawals. If anyone decides to upgrade to the latest firmware from T-Mobile and wants a working root solution, here is what worked for me. I have not tried to use Chainfires SuperSU again. If you dont want to use PHH Superuser and wanted to use SuperSU instead, try to insert SuperSU in place of PHH Superuser and see what happens. Do this at your own risk because I have not tested it with this solution that I found. Good luck. Happy Rooting!!

I tried that version too and I ended up with the same problem each time. I figured it out last night though. Im going to update my OP with the steps I had to take to get it working and that way if anyone upgrades to the latest PK6 firmware for their G928T and has this problem my thread is available with a solution.
I'm on lineage 13, with sm t320. I flashed it this morning with other zips, downloaded apps from the play store, and then updated to the latest nightly (from 6/24). My device booted twice afterwards (the screen that you get right after you first flash lineage where it loads all of the apps) and it turned out that the root had disappeared along with the custom recovery. Not sure what exactly caused it... I've flashed it alone before (without other zips) and it worked fine. Has anyone else had their root disappear before?
So should I use cf auto root and odin and go through the whole connecting it to the computer process? Idk since I don't have the stock ROM anymore. Any help would be appreciated!
Lineage has a own root zip. You can find it under Lineage Downlode Extras. Addon su.ZIP.
You dont need to flash the CF autroot, if you install a customrecovery you can flash the lastest supersu.ZIP or the addon su.ZIP

Thanks for your answer!
But I'd need root to install the custom recovery, right?

You can flash a Custom recovery ( TWRP ) directly with Odin 3.09 without Root !
Okay, thanks ?
1)Installed TWRP 3.3 from our beloved @mauronofriofrio
2)Opened twrp,flashed superSu 2.73
Tried flashing a different version of superSu too.
3)Flashing is always successful but there's no change in the system,no root,nothing.
4)After a reboot I can't access the twrp again.It goes back to stock recovery.I have to reflash everytime I need to access twrp.
