According to my search on this forum, it's been at least two months since root of Galaxy S6 Active was mentioned last, so I thought I'll try again...
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to root the phone now? I tried KingoRoot, Towel Root, PingPong, King and nothing worked...
Would the phone get bricked if I try the rooting via Odin using the files for the regular S6 (G920)?
Is it possible to just flash CyanogenMod and thus get both the rom and root that way?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Subbed, I would also like to know

Is upping a thread a thing on this forum?
Great question! We don't want to brick our new Galaxy S6 Actives either!!!
Want rooooooooooot
Far as I know, there has been no news regarding root for S6 Active.
There is a group of people trying to put together a bounty for a S6 Active root, but the problem is nobody is really sure how to properly setup the bounty

Yet another thing that confuses me....why is the edge and active so different from the normal 6. Why would there be any reason for the internals to be changed besides maybe moving some stuff around so it fits right. I am so happy I decided not to get the active even though I learned today that it has 1000 more mAh than the normal/edge which if I would've known that at purchase I would of gotten it... I feel your pain guys. It is even worse that it is an ATT Active of all things, :/
Agree! Android really is different without root.
I have had my G890A (S6 Active) for just over a month.
This is the longest I've ever had a non-rooted Android phone since my first HTC many years back. It's frustrating!
The phone's nice. It's got the bigger battery, a bit tougher, and not too large (but I *am* tired of "demo'ing" the phone-in-a -glass-of-water trick for friends already .
I like the promise of durability, but chaff at lack of root, and the personal tweaks that I took for granted on my S4, my S2 and other rooted android phones. . .

Well I think one of the question is whether it is actually any different from the normal 6 from the root perspective? Has anyone tried to use 6 firmware on it?

I'm in the same boat. I got a good deal on Swappa for this phone and love the hardware. I'd love root to remove bloatware, install xposed modules and remove ads. This phone has huge potential but falls short.

When on a call, I keep getting this annoying sound kind of like static sounding something like "pukk" ( hope someone got me). It comes just for a second. Nowadays its been happening more than 10 times on a call. Its really getting annoying.
The worst part is this sound comes only when on a call and sadly its not the phone speaker problem since I get it on my earphones too.
This is happening on Stock and ViperOne ROM and the handset is AT&T version which I have been using in India.
Can anybody help me in getting rid of this irritating sound while on a call??
If anybody can help me out here it would be great. Please voice your opinion.. Thanks.

I will always go for Custom Rom specifically VENOM ROM i.e ViperOne. Since they take stock base and improvise it adding functions, taking out unwanted stuff etc. its always better.. Will be Flashing ViperOne 4.3 ROM when it is released..
In fact I may be selling off this phone and go for the Xiaomi Mi-3.. That is a beast of a phone..
Try putting a network-provider supplied sim and see if problem exists.

Now I don't get the static sound when on a call or at any other time.
Please put another SIM preferably a ready made Microsim and not a manually cut sim of any network(no problem).
I can vouch that it is sim problem.
Let me know if it helps.
Good Luck.

Ram and emmc chips are one thing... The panel of s8 would require a whole new redo of kernel with drivers to support it. Not only that they don't match hardware and ribbon cable wise. Not only that Nexus 6 is very close to end of life so doubt anyone would even do it even if it were possible.

You know, of course, that "Senior Member" is a meaningless title since you only have to post 100 comments to "earn" it In any case, many people don't understand how the hardware works, they only barely know how to unlock the bootloader on a Nexus and flash TWRP and a custom ROM. By the time one would be done doing all the hardware and software modding he'd need to fit a Galaxy S8 screen on the Nexus it'd be more worthwhile to just get the S8

Let's put it this way: it'd actually be easier to get a Galaxy S8, learn from scratch (as in with zero coding experience) how to break Samsung’s Knox and related security features, forcibly bypass any bootloader locks present and port a custom recovery like TWRP than it would be to make a S8 display work on a Nexus 6
But it still comes in black right?

Would a Toyota Camry windshield fit on a Dodge Charger?
Hahaha......Okay okay......*face palm* I had a feeling this is the response I would get. Honestly, I have been a member of XDA for years. And as one of you already pointed out, I'm one of those "senior members" that has learned how to root, install a custom recovery and a few other things. I posted this, because I really have no idea how some hardware works on phones compared to computers. I have worked on laptops and desktops for years, and some of the hardware in laptops is interchangeable, and others, is not. But hey, at least I made a few of you laugh, right ?

Samsung likes to release so many variants of one device that even swapping a screen from one model(TMO) to a model(VRZ) may have a ribbon issue. I have always been partial to the _Samsung Round_ screen but, i am not THAT partial. I have gotten mics.,loud and ear speakers to "line up" and "fit" as a way of replacement or out of pure curiosity.
(This thread is finished yet I do not know how to set my own reply as the answer! An extremely kind developer helped me out immensely and I fully trusted him and I am very proud now!)
I got an SM-G955FD ( S8+ Dual SIM Europe XSG Variant )
I rooted the phone and installed renovate ICE and titanium backup, apparently, I messed up and after a restart, it was stuck on the flashing Samsung logo.
I went into download mode and tried flashing the TWRP from Odin with the BL button. It kept saying FAIL! and the text does not show that the NAND installed so I probably uninstalled something that's stopping from installing to the bootloader? Re=partition was ticked OFF all the time as I heard it freezes your phone or something??!
I tried installing stock firmware and still says fail when it comes to the bootloader part.
I tried Smart Switch as I seen videos of people doing it successfully with an s8+, but it apparently does not support specifically the XSG variant (from what I remember the XSG is the United Arab Emirates something when I was installing the firmware from SamMobile)
I contacted Samsung Help Services and redirected me to their messenger which then redirected me to their Smart Switch page and I sent them my problem yet it's been two hours and I have no answer
I know they are very busy which is why I sent here, maybe I get some tips.
Should I enable Re-Partition when reinstalling? I am really scared it might brick my phone if it says FAIL! :crying:
I really need help and if anybody can help or give tips or feedback, hints maybe or thoughts, anything I will be extremely glad an appreciative as every little is super useful and I need lots of help. It's my fault and I admit but I became super desperate, whenever I had a problem I always came here first thing and found the answer and I have not found anything like this exactly.
Thanks and sorry for the long paragraphs, I may have been too dramatic
You guys are amazing!

Not if you're a developer. For example, in my app, I need to turn on hotspot programmatically, but since srtWifiEnabled method is private, even with reflection, it need privileged permissions, i.e., root. Even Tasker fails to toggle hotspot due to this. Only root can fix this.

I have had galaxy s8 plus , 7 and 4 and 5. i rooted them all ! samfail rooted s8 plus ! so i don't understand why people keep saying you can't root snap dragon. i think the only one that isn't rootable at all is the s9 plus ? right ? cause i rooted every single S i had.

SamFail and 80% charge.... yea! If you need root as bad as you say, you should go the Google Pixel route.

I was fine with the 80 percent, with all the tweaks and bloatware you can remove it's pretty good with just 80 percent. i mean it's basically at 100 but says it's 80. BTW google pixel is done lolol they don't even have a headphone jack.
Everyone said the Note8 wouldn't be rooted and that happened rather quickly. I wouldn't hold my breath, but it's possible.

Looks like a fused/binary fail to me. Youll need to download the latest firmware for your device and if regular Odin dosent work. Then maybe the above will. Good luck

WoW!!! You have a keen sense of the obvious. Yes, I was aware the was posted over a year ago. I am also aware that you have been a member of XDA since 2014 and instead of providing assistance to the XDA member a year ago you criticize the time line of my response. As you said, and I quote
" This post is literally a year old". Then why didn't you provide assistance? I dont need your approval, your authorization or your acceptance and I am not asking for it. I will post on whay ever thead I choose. If it upsets you, thats your choice TheMadScientist, I refer you to read the XDA rules.
2.3 Treat new members in the manner in which you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instructions when you can, showing them respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
PS: Those emoji's response, I didnt mean to make you cry. If it makes you feel better dont repress just let it out. Sometime a good cry is emotionally beneficial. Good luck and Happpy Holidays

To my fellow member and colleagues her on XDA, don't be discouraged from posting, asking or responding as long as you fallow the rules. For example, even the this was an 11 month old thread, I posted a reply. Even though this member has likely moved on, theremay be another member seeking for the same answer. Maybe even something similar and dodnt realize there were other Odins .
