Not too familiar with CVE bugs & exploits but for us with snapdragon loaders could this:https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-0496 be used as a exploit to install root? As a non traditional method of course.

Any methods root available for the S6 sprint?
I don't want to sacrifice NFC, Samsung Pay or anything. Just need root and flash Roms

Any root method will sacrifice SamPay. If it trips knox= bye bye to SamPay.
You're best hope is here, but not released for the Sprint S6 just yet. Expect it to be released relatively soon though! http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-root-s6-coming-soon-t3098476
i have absolutely no idea if it will work, but our ATT S6 just got root using ping pong root. Might be something to check into on your note 4's
Yes, root possible for s6 without tripping knox
Pingpong tool has successfully been able to root s6 devices.
May be this could help us in rooting note 4 too. Below is the link to pingpong tool for s6.http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016

Has anyone Tried this yet?
PingPong only specifically supports a short list of kernels. Notice the list of supported in that thread? Support would have to be specifically added for the Note 4, but a very similar (if not identical) method was added to Kingroot based on input from the author of PingPong.
I don't know for sure but it's my guess that if permaroot was possible with the Pingpong method then it would have been added to Kingroot.
Also, from the PingPong thread OP:
Q: Note4/Z3/Old Samsung/etc?
A: We also wrote the rooting engine in KingRoot 4.0 for generic 32-bit devices. Give it a try. Note that for some devices like Note4, only temp root is achievable.

Is safestrap a viable option since everything is so locked down on this device? I remember when I bought the s4 for Verizon, safestrap was my only saving grace. Will delete if this question has been answered. I can't find it anywhere though. Also, what are the chances of root actually being obtained because everything seems pretty grim to me. I can't even find any discussion on anyone even attempting to get root for 928a. Thanks much!:good:
Root, as for this phone, G928A, is slim to none. With the updates that fixed the Stagefright exploit, it's very doubtful. Safestrap will only work if there's Stable root (not temp root - like on Note 4, for example).

My only question left then is how did the at&t and verzion galaxy s6 variants obtain root? Stagefright exploit is still unfixed or did someone discover a new exploit?
They were on kitkat and able to get an exploit to work to have root. For further details, go to the forum and take a look

To root you'll first have to flash TWRP recovery in Odin, which will trip knox.
No method to root without it.
Really? No other at this time?.......ok thank you
With lots of research about root ....and Samsung i conclude (if i have correctly understood) that with the galaxy S6 ,chainfire have done the exploit to keep devices "clean"(knox flagship,s-healf ,samsung pay......etc....and lots of apps working by creating "systemless" root , but samsung devellop and update all their security.....and Chainfire is losing the fight since S7,S8....last note..."A" series...
There are less and less apps for root devices too...
And it's possible that it's the little begining of the end of development ===> in "theory" it's stupid to buy expensively a phone for to loose functionnalities and security + warranty ....in this case we can buy an old second-hand or a low-end device for to fiddle.
But we need root for some goods optimisations ,debloats and remove spam ....really pity !!!!! And this A series 2017 is a really great phone...
I have seen that towelroot ,pingpongroot....would root (galaxy S7 MM,) without tripping knox but not "really" confirmed here in xda ( the very serious reliable "bible" of android world).....but if it really root without tripping knox ,it's possible to have problem with some samsung components and playstore apps...i don't know .

Yes, I badly want to root my phone too but am afraid to lose warranty. I even contacted the Samsung Customer Service Support in my country to confirm whether rooting will void my warranty and they say that.
BTW I see that your location's in France. I read somewhere here that in EU, tripping Knox doesn't void warranty. So you can just root away without concern.
Hello, I am currently working on a way to exploit the bootloader for the XT1254 (Droid Turbo) and the method will probably work on all quarks if I successfully achieve this. Right now I have been able to successfully downgrade the bootloader to version dated 2015-04-05. I think there are a few exploits that work for this older bootloader however at the moment I'm stuck because the System.img is from Nougat but the bootloader is from pre-nougat and I can not flash a working gpt.bin that I have found. I need some other devs to jump on board to submit any info they might have that may help us at achieving this much desired unlock for the verizon variants. I feel it is unethical to be forced to pay $25 to unlock this particular device. It would be completely fair to send donations to the sunshine project, but since we have not had an alternative for the last 4 yrs, its time we resolve this issue and work toward an open solution for the newer devices as well. Thanks for anyone supporting this and any help pitched in!
$25 was money WELL spent! Especially on a 64GB Turbo!

ALL other Quarks -- except XT1254 -- ALREADY have free Bootloader Unlock code from Motorola. I wrote INSTRUCTIONS thread about it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/general/guide-how-to-unlock-moto-maxx-moto-t3455341
This is why all the other Quarks (XT1225 and XT1250) had TWRP and custom ROMs before Sunshine team managed to unlock the Verizon variant.
PLEASE, don't even mention the other Quarks in your scheme for the Droid Turbo XT1254.
