G925T Do's and Don't's - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Hey guys! I've been rooting and flashing phones for a while now, however this is going to be my first Samsung device and it seems like the rooting proccess is different. Just ordered one off of eBay and it's coming in some time next week.
I've been searching and reading countless threads on how to root and flash the S6 Edge, but still wanted to know all the do's and don't's when flashing the phone.
First thing I want to do is obviously root the phone when I get it. I don't know which s/w version it will come with, so what will be the easiest method to root the phone?
From what I've read, flashing a custom recovery such as TWRP will trip KNOX. Besides that, what else can trip it?
Also, it looks like flashing a custom kernel is required to root the phone. On the LG G3, for example, I could just flash a SuperSU zip from recovery to root the phone. Does it not work like that with this phone?
Thank you for your help.

Lastest 5.1.1 requires custom kernel to root. If the phone comes with 5.0.2, imo, do not upgrade, use ping pong root (google it) to keep warranty.

Seconded. From what I understand, there's no way to root and keep KNOX untripped and have your fingerprnt scanner work on 5.1.1. You either have a tripped KNOX or a broken fingerprint scanner. If you're on 5.1.1 and dont care about KNOX (I don't) I recommend UniKernel to root. I've found it helps a lot with battery life, especially when paired with XstreStoLite ROM.

Samsung Pay will be broken too.

I have UniBase on my Rooted S6 Edge. I have had no improvements on battery. I have to charge it atleast twice a day. Which is okay, But rather annoying when in the middle of a conversation and have to either charge it or it dies.

Try XstreStoLite 2.4. It comes with UniKernel v9 and that combo has done wonders for my standby battery life. Under use, the battery life is about the same, but standby has increaded drastically.

Don't root until you're sure you won't need Samsung's repair service.
Use it a lot and stress it to the limits with hardcore games to find out if your S6e gets the blocky screen disorder or 8bit graphics corruption problem. Mine goes 8bit when it's cold outside or when games heat up the SoC so it's going in for repairs.

Guys i just got a s6e tmobile version as a gift
I am in india so there is no need for tmobile rom and its junk for me coz its useless
Now can i flash 925f or 925i version on it?
Is there and hardware diff between between international version and t mobile version? ( coz it will be a heart-breaker) for me
Please let me know asap coz i cant understand most things as of now eg the shoot.bin file you keep talking about etc
Also what does that update do which you guys talk about (OCJ vs OJ6) etc.
Also warranty is not an issue as i wont get it anyways it being inported...lol
Will be greatly helpful fot any help..

NEVER use such apps to clean ram space. They close these apps and then re-oprn in, which in turn, uses more RAM and battery.
You can simply go to the APP in Application Manager and FORCE CLOSE the app.

Disable all unnecessary apps which you do not want...Have lesser apps which is really needed to run your day.
Logical thinking: Rooting is definitely void your warranty, however what kind of warranty is coming now a days with phones. Physical damage, Burn will not comes under warranty. That only left out with software issues. So for any software issues you can very well download the original firmware from sammobile.com and keep it with you. Go back to original firmware whenever you have software issues. As simple as that. Any physical damage need to be payment to service center in spite of having warranty or not.

I was thinking to root my Note 3 neo indeed, but your story of warranty is true!
Only thing is. This is my FIRST android device ever. I always used apple for some weird reason ..
I know that rooting will trip KNOX to 0x1.
But I Don't know, how to root my note 3 neo n7505. On JB 4.3.
And, suggest I brick my phone. What can i do? is it literally bricked? Or can i flash back the orginal firmware?
( I didn't find n7505 4.3 firmware on sammobile, though.. )
Hope someone can help me

I suggest not to rush on rooting your phone as you do not have much exp. My first iphone is also rooted. You need to study little bit to understand root and always find out the back up plan. That is keep your original firmware ready to flash.
Indian Note 3 Neo got Kitkat update few days back, you should also get that. So I suggest just wait for another 1 month and meanwhile study about rooting.
Your phone firmware is available at Sammobile, may be not for your country but as far as model is same you can flash firmware of any other country. The languages may be diff, however Eng should be always there.
Try to download some firmware of the neighbor country.
One note: Once your phone is updated to latest firmware, you can not go back to old firmware..
Check how to flash firmware thru desktop Odin in You tube.

Please help newbie t805

Hi guys
Just bought a t805 and loving it atm. Few questions if anyone can help:
1. its a t805 but its got a octacore 5420 chip does that make a difference if I wnt to install custom recoveries/roms should I install for the t805 or t800?
2. Are there any good roms for battery and speed on the t805 worth flashing?, reason being don't want to trip know if theres nothing better than stock.
3. Any good tips for battery and speed if not?
4. Are there any fast chargers out there that are compatible i.e the charger that comes with the s6?
5. If I root without tripping knox can I get rid of all the bloatware that's installed my rom is T805XXU1BOC1?
6. Finally would love to make use of the sd card for more app installation any way of doing this.
Guys I appreciate that all this info is most probably in the threads but in all honesty came onto this tab quite late so will involve loads of reading and asking loads of questions so any help is really appreciated.
Many thanks
Mav
Well without trying not to come across as rude, by your own admission everything you have asked has been pretty much answered countless times.
All you need do is use the search button above.
Search and ye will be enlightened.
Welcome to the forum.
1. its a t805 but its got a octacore 5420 chip does that make a difference if I wnt to install custom recoveries/roms should I install for the t805 or t800?
All tab s models apart from like two minor USA variants are exynos so there is choice. Install t805 only as t800 will either not work or lose 3g.
2. Are there any good roms for battery and speed on the t805 worth flashing?, reason being don't want to trip know if theres nothing better than stock.
Iron rom is good but stock lollipop is great in my opinion.
3. Any good tips for battery and speed if not?
Remove all crap and I use clean master to keep the junk off.
4. Are there any fast chargers out there that are compatible i.e the charger that comes with the s6?
The charger it comes with us 2amp and is as fast as it gets.
5. If I root without tripping knox can I get rid of all the bloatware that's installed my rom is T805XXU1BOC1?
Yes you can remove bloat - be careful otherwise can break android.
6. Finally would love to make use of the sd card for more app installation any way of doing this.
Can move apps to SD without root but with can move them better.

So basically in your opinion is ironrom worth tripping knox?, reason being I have used custom rom for years and in all honesty things have either improved slightly or basically had bugs, it was fine when you could just revert to originalrom if warranty issues occurred but with knox tripped I think Samsung wont fix.
So option b would be to root and and at least you can make use of the sd without tripping knox, also all the bloatware can be cleaned with clean master, or do you have to do it through titanium backup?
Thanks again
I wouldn't bother tripping Knox. I have kept mine stock since I got it last year. Very stable and quick. I would only root if not happy with performance. Did yours come with lollipop or did you upgrade? A factory reset made mine so quick. Clean master is a no root junk cleaner I keep running.
Samsung will still fix if you have problem in first 2 years with Knox tripped in the UK.
Thanks for the reply, basically just bought from ebay and it didn't come with a receipt or box so was thinking what the hell lets just root, custom recovery and custom rom, but since coming on here and reading up there doesn't seem to be as many roms as I expected and even less for the t805 so really considering if its worth it, obviously if speed and battery is improved then yes all the way hence why I was asking about the roms just general experience, I think with ironrom you can oc so that should make things a little smoother too maybe even increase battery. Didn't know that about Samsung, my experience with them and my s4, s5 haven't been good in all honesty. My Dads got one too but he bought his from pc world with receipt so hes def not rooting etc, although I believe there is a no knox root method.
What are people going for mostly with recovery twrp or cwr? for reliability
thanks

I have a GalaxyS6 Sprint 5.1.1 G920PVPU2BOFE And I Want To Root It. Yes Or No?

I really want to root it. i love having the ability to do what i want with my phone and all the fun stuff rooting brings with it self. I want your opinions? If you guys can supply me with links and etc like a stock firmware so just in case i want to unroot and etc. I can't find any for my version which is G920PVPU2BOFE. Also Is There a CWM or TWERP? Well if you guys could help that would be great.
Also are there any good and stable roots for my phones version? I was reading around and found one that had something to do about flashing a new kernel and doing that it didn't let the user use private mode and a few other things. I'm not sure if i should wait it out. I have looked around a lot but couldn't find much about rooting my phones current software version.
Well, for me i dont know too much for running Xposed just yet but im trying to see if theirs any guides for this phone.
But for me to completely UNROOT it,is to flash the stock Rom OF7 tar with Odin....it actually fixed a soft bootloop or softbrick i had.

So i was skeptical just like you and well I rooted my phone pretty good advantages havent tinkered much yet but i decided to might as well flash a recovery since im rooted and voided my warrenty. so the only thing available was TWRP which can be found in the forums.
I downloaded a custom rom known as Twisted Projects its mainly stock with just extra features to it
BUT my mistake was that i didnt select Unlock BootLoader OEM before i restarted it becaused it said to update supersu since its outdated on the custom rom i guess. And well in which resulted for me to get a custom binary lock F R P. and i couldnt get to recovery only download mode, and then flashing OF7 tar and i got myself back to normal. And rooted it again, still debating to go to it again. but thats an FYI ake sure to select Developer options, Usb Debugging, and OEM Unlock before doing anything.

Thanks for everything yo. Only Thing Holding Me Back Is My Phone Is leased but i herd sprint doesn't really care much. I'd just have to flash it back to normal and this brings me to my next question. I See Theres stock firmwares for OF7 and none for OFE and if i where to soft brick my phone can i flash the OF7 firmware on it with no problem? because i herd something about we can't go to previous versions and etc. Also another question do you notice any things that aren't working out so well on the root since we have to flash it as a new kernal. I herd some battery drain issues and over heating and some stuff like that. They where rare cases but just wondering And on the root of my phone i download the OFE kernal from the link you provided and flash it through odin and then im rooted correct? i am a little skeptical on rooting again cause its a more expensive phone and i wouldn't want to mess up haha.

No i did not sadly. I updated it on accident and now i'm on G920PVPU2BOH1 5.1.1 and i really want to root it lmao. I'm just waiting but no luck and no root. Also im leased so i don't know if its worth it. I herd sprint is layed back on it and if i reset it it'll be fine but at the same time i don't know.

Really? Link? Well thats good. But is it worth it at the moment? like i herd private mode and a few other things get disabled. I mean is there any downsides? i used to be rooted and loved it but my old phone (GS3) was purchased regularly. This phone i'm currently leasing it. So is there any downsides to that as well? Sorry for being so skeptical lmao It's a new phone and don't want nothing to go bad on it :good:

I do not use private mode but there is a work around for it. Unikernel plus TWRP will trip the Knox counter and as of now Samsung Pay wont work. Other than that root is always worth it.

Thats super dope and its good to hear xposed is still working for it as well. Do you think the company would care if i root it? and then put it back to stock after my two years are up? i have warranty on it so thats the only downside since its leased and something goes bad thats 700 dollars lmao but i doubt anything would go wrong. I've herd several cases where people would send their phones back with knox tripped and gotten them fixed no problem. Thanks for the link btw now its all up to the decision aha. Also thanks for replying back so quick

Has this been documented? Everything I have seen says that we haven't figured out how to do this (although it's probably possible).

How to root?!?

Im on 5.1.1 G925TUVU3DOJ7. Is it possible to root 5.1.1 without tripping knox right now? Or can i downgrade to 5.0.2 by flashing stock 5.0.2 with odin then root with ping pong without tripping knox?
Also what are the best roms, kernals & other cool tweaks you recommend? Just got this phone so i would really appreciate the help, thanks have a good one.
I don't think there's a way to root without tripping KNOX right now. There was an engineering bootloader that allowed flashing without tripping KNOX, but I don't know if it still works (it might). However, this bootloader breaks the fingerprint scanner. There is no way to have an un-tripped KNOX and working fingerprint scanner at the moment, I know that for sure.

PingPong used to work, it doesn't anymore. I agree with what the other poster said about the engineering bootloader however this file was requested to be removed by samsung (sboot.bin) so good luck finding it. I think you might be onto something downgrading to a previous release, I'm not too sure but the OH6 I think is the one that I used PingPong on to gain root but I don't know if the new bootloader will let u. It should though, if it replaces the sboot.bin it should let u downgrade. I'm just not sure, this new update has caused a lot of stuff to not want to flash for me, I'm waiting on my new internet to arrive before I start messing with it anymore because my phone is my only link to the outside world. if you find out please let us know? I'm very interested in the answer.
I've heard Hacker Kernel is a really good one, people seem to love it.

If I remember correctly, PingPong only worked on 5.0.X, and once you update to 5.1.X, you are no longer able to downgrade back to 5.0.X. I think if OP is on 5.1.1 his options for root are VERY limited if he wants an in-tact KNOX, especially since you are indeed correct, and the engineering bootloader seems to have been removed.
S6 Edge frozen on G925TUVU3DOJ7
guys i need help , after flashing the rom G925TUVU3DOJ7 on my S6 Edge 925T its stuck on galaxy logo and not booting , i've trying to use unikernal but its not work i get like flashing is locked !!!
Rooting is a risky business since last update, make sure you have a good download or download again from Samsung website and try again.

Really why is everyone so concerned about knox? All it does is make it so you can't use Samsung Pay. So use Android Pay. Set it up before you root then back it up after you root. Restore it whenever you flash a new rom and it will work. I rooted the day I got my S6 Edge which was before the Plus came out and I have never had any problems. Everyone worried about knox this and knox that has a messed up phone.
HI,,I updated firmware 5.1.1 to a rooted G925T using Smart Switch (no errors etc) now the phone is stuck on android Samsung logo so I tried to reflash the firmware many times using Odin3 the only frimware it took with no errors was (G925TUVS3DOJC) which is the last one but still the same thing stuck at Samsung logo so i searched it online and it says something wrong with EFS and has Bad Root Key it know as DRK (DEV Root Key) and don't know how to fix that. anyone can hepl plz.

S6 Edge Root

Hi guys i havent been in the forums in a while and i thoght about rooting my device cause i formatted my phone and lost a bunch of pics that i want to recover. long story short i have tryied many apps and none seem to be able to recover the deleted pics. the only one so far that people claim that can do it is DiskDigger or something like it, but for it to fully work it needs ROOT. so my problem is that unless there is a 100% way of getting my deleted pics which at this point i doubt, then lets please proceed.
Since i need to ROOT im gonna give you guys my phone specs so you guys can get a picture and advice me better cause i dont want to mess up this phone cause is my daily driver.

is everything here ok? does anything seem ok in my phone? is it rootable?
ok first of all let me say that i do not care about the pay methods but i do care about losing other functionality like fingerprint scanner of LTE and less battery life and stuff like that. mine last me about a whole day with moderate use and some gaming in between.
i want basically to ROOT my phone and if possible and available without tripping the cursed knox so i can if available intall a custom recovery so i can backup and restore my phone from (on that actually works) cause i coulnt for the life of my phone NEVER restore from an image done by my S4 with TWRP or i never knew how to do it cause when i tryied it to fully wipe ended up having to reinstall the full firmware and rooting from scratch.
Also if available which apps and in which directories can be frozen and which ones can be unistalled cause im tired of facebook and instagram and Tmo useless crapware.
Sorry for the long and winded speech but this phone is almost a $1000 and i dont have insurance anymore and if knox tripped samsung wont fix or exchange.
thanks in advanced
have a nice day
sorry for the length again
Apparently you have done some reading (and if not, start reading) because you are mentioning all or most of the issues that some folks are experiencing with this phone when attempting to root with latest firmware updates. ( Not to mention the bricks. )
At first release it was possible with little consequences but that changed in a hurry with updates and with every update it becomes harder and more dangerous to root safely.
There is very little going on in development, just some rehashed versions of the old firmware and in the international forum there are some roms that lose a lot of features you want.
If you really need and rely on your expensive phone and need all features working, leave it stock.
As for your lost images, well your going to have to use your imagination and try to remember what they were.
I was a diehard rooter with all my devices until I met up with this Samsung 6Edge, I love the phone and am a big fan of Samsung so I'm sticking with stock debloated for now, I'm learning to live "stock" and enjoying my phone with all features working properly.

If you really need and rely on your expensive phone and need all features working, leave it stock.
As for your lost images, well your going to have to use your imagination and try to remember what they were.
I was a diehard rooter with all my devices until I met up with this Samsung 6Edge, I love the phone and am a big fan of Samsung so I'm sticking with stock debloated for now, I'm learning to live "stock" and enjoying my phone with all features working properly.

How do you debloat if you don't have root? are you just disabling the bloatware apps?

Yes, disabling all and any bloatware that gives you the option to disable.
When my phone is sitting idle it goes into 99% deep sleep.
With light use I'll get 30 + hours from a charge.
I don't subscribe to Facebook or any of those social media apps and for games I have a Tab2 running CM. I basically use my phone for calls, messages and photos and a couple of forums.

Hi guys i havent been in the forums in a while and i thoght about rooting my device cause i formatted my phone and lost a bunch of pics that i want to recover. long story short i have tryied many apps and none seem to be able to recover the deleted pics. the only one so far that people claim that can do it is DiskDigger or something like it, but for it to fully work it needs ROOT. so my problem is that unless there is a 100% way of getting my deleted pics which at this point i doubt, then lets please proceed.
Since i need to ROOT im gonna give you guys my phone specs so you guys can get a picture and advice me better cause i dont want to mess up this phone cause is my daily driver.

is everything here ok? does anything seem ok in my phone? is it rootable?
ok first of all let me say that i do not care about the pay methods but i do care about losing other functionality like fingerprint scanner of LTE and less battery life and stuff like that. mine last me about a whole day with moderate use and some gaming in between.
i want basically to ROOT my phone and if possible and available without tripping the cursed knox so i can if available intall a custom recovery so i can backup and restore my phone from (on that actually works) cause i coulnt for the life of my phone NEVER restore from an image done by my S4 with TWRP or i never knew how to do it cause when i tryied it to fully wipe ended up having to reinstall the full firmware and rooting from scratch.
Also if available which apps and in which directories can be frozen and which ones can be unistalled cause im tired of facebook and instagram and Tmo useless crapware.
Sorry for the long and winded speech but this phone is almost a $1000 and i dont have insurance anymore and if knox tripped samsung wont fix or exchange.
thanks in advanced
have a nice day
sorry for the length again

I agree with @PanchoPlanet to an extent. There are 2 ways to root the S6 Edge right now. One works just fine with no issues. I have been rooted since I bought the device before Samsung Pay came out. The other way that people have been using to avoid tripping knox will screw up your phone.If you don't care about Samsung Pay then you can simply use CF-Auto root like always. then flash TWRP after you root. The only thing that has made rooting unsafe is the people trying to avoid knox. I keep posting everywhere that people need to stop worrying about knox. Unless you are in a security job or a government job or you want to use Samsung Pay then knox is absolutely of no concern. People worried about getting their device fixed or returning it because of the knox trip, I have read many people were able to without problems.

This root method works just fine --> Here
Except I use the newest Unikernel --> Here

The baseband doesn't matter the build does. It does work with the build you are on.
Ok so, so far what i have done is just odin the UNIKERNEL which also rooted my phone. Everything is working nice exept for titanium which i already asked in another thread. So my next question is: is it safe to factory restore my phone from the phones menu -->backup and reset-->factory data reset <--
Is this safe and will it still remain rooted so i can install titanium and a custom recovery so i can do a full image?
Can someone plz answer today to see if im able to get my phone up and running by tonite?
Thanks again and in advanced.
