Unroot from within the superSU app (if installed) or from the Towelroot app, flash a stock firmware rom and data factory reset.
Okay I can't flash stock. It always fails and my phon says binary >2 something 1

Thanks for the video. Do you know of a method where I can do this on a Mac? Sold my windows machine and haven't gotten around to getting another. Again thank you for the video.

What exactly does it mean to trip Knox? Does it cause any problems in the future with updating the firmware, etc...?

No. Just means you void your warranty with Samsung.

Also there was talk that Samsung Pay might not work in the future. No way to tell until it comes out
That is the only reason I'm not rooting yet.
I really want to use Samsung pay

I have used iroot on other phones. Never tried it on s6 but im pretty sure it would work. Just install the app. You might have to go to a chinese sight with no english but just dowload it. The app has english so your good. It install its own su app which works well. Open the app and follow the instruction they are easy the app does qll the work.

You might want to tell everybody in the op that as of right now flashing a custom recovery will trip knox.
So quick question guys:
If I root the S6 with the new tool, it won't trip Knox?
Once its rooted, would I be able to replace the lock screen with the one from stock android and replace the dialer with the google dialer? I love stock experience but I wanted a premium device so I went with the S6.
Thanks.

Unrooting.
Is it possible to unroot at some point after using this method? Lets say I need to use my warranty for the phone. Is unrooting possible?

No.. Your warranty is gone forever.
Why do people keep asking this silly question, you root your phone you kiss your warranty goodbye.

You shouldn't answer unless you're sure. This root method can be reversed by used ODIN to completely go back to stock.
Cheers guys for looking.
Can I root my Note 5, flash a kernel etc and return to stock with no problems I.e tripping Knox, not being able to use Samsung Pay?
I've looked around and not got a definitive answer.
TIA,
Chris.

And what does tripping Knox do?
Making your warranty void.

So if I flash back to stock I'll be able to update and use Samsung Pay etc.

No. Once Knox is tripped you can't use samsung pay. Ever. Even if you flash back to stock.
Tripping Knox really only impacts use of samsung pay and shows a notification that the system is modified during boot. How big an issue those are you you, you need to decide.
Typically samsung will still repair phones with tripped Knox, but there are no guarantees. And whether you would be able to return a phone with tripped Knox is up to your retailer. No one here can answer that.

If you want to root your phone for the sake of just having root, I won't advice you to root your phone.
