At&t Marshmallow root?

I have an At&t S6 that has already received the Marshmallow update and was wondering if there is a root method for Marshmallow?

Any luck?

I'm in the same boat. Have you had any luck?

Highest version successfully rooted?

Hello all, I picked up an N900A for a great price, didn't know about the locked bootloader, I assumed it would be the same as the T-Mobile one I used to have. No dice. I'd just like to know what the latest version is that can be rooted.
I don't need custom ROMs or any of that jazz...I always end up modding the crap out of them and changing everything so it's pointless for me to flash somebody else's preferences and tweaks I probably won't agree with anyway. I just need root, SuperSU, busybox, and xposed support.
Right now I'm on NC2 4.4.2 which is decent but I need Lollipop to run some apps I use. A few of them don't support Kitkat anymore.
Any advice would be appreciated

I'd like to know how to root as well. My n900a is on 5.0 and I've seen nothing but bad news on these forums...

It really isn't that difficult http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59666958&postcount=2
You can root 5.0, but it has to be either a pre-rooted 5.0 Rom or you have to downgrade to Kitkat, then root and install 5.0. But you can't root if your already on 5.0.

Correct, but what do those of us who are on 5.0 OC2 do to downgrade?

There is no root meethod for the AT&T bootloader therefore no root. If you had used the search you would have found dozens of other people asking the same thing.
If anyone discovers a method how to root that phone you can be sure it will be published here and everybody will now. For now all I can refer you to is my thread on how to update the phone to the latest Marshmellow update (but that might prevent you from installing any root that is based on Lollipop in the future).

EDIT: Actually there is a root method https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...w-to-update-to-g870aof2-5-0-keeproot-t3161733 for very old firmware versions. Still there are no custom roms that I know of.

Thanks a lot for reply, after a looooong search I have found this: http://www.droidviews.com/update-att-galaxy-s5-active-to-lollipop-root-it-and-enable-wifi-tethering/
So, I do that and now, I'm in Android 5.0, with baseband G870AUCU2BOF3 and happily rooted. But I have a question, Can I update to Marshmallow following your thread?
Thanks a lot again.

You can but you will lose root. There is currently no root method for Marshmallow.

Hello.
I was just wondering how exactly you did this? You downgraded to 5.0, and rooted from there? Can you explain to me what you did to root the G870A?
