Hello so I just got a at&t galaxy s5 that has been updated to lollipop with the G900AUCU4BOF3 bootloader and am wondering if it is any way possible to root it. I honestly don't care about tripping knox because it is already out of warranty and is used anyway. I have read some places and searched on here to see if I could find an answer but I haven't found anything about my circumstances... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
First off wrong section, second off to answer your question, no you cannot root since you are on lollipop already(needed to be rooted on KitKat).

I have a AT&T Galaxy Note 3 that I just upgraded to KitKat 4.4.2 today. The Model Number is: SAMSUNG-SM-N900A. The Build Number is: KOT49H.N900AUCUCNC2.
I was just wondering a) If root was possible, I don't really care about tripping knox. b) If not possible how long will it be approx. until it is possible?
Thanks in advance!

A) No
B) Nobody knows. I believe they patched the exploit we were using according to designgears
Not yet, and no one knows when. It will happen eventually.

I purchased a S6 Edge and it was updated to 5.1.1 when I got it. I am a big fan of rooting/flashing ROMS/mods (My last phone was an extremely modded Oneplus One which met an untimely end) but I am not really sure how to do that on this phone. I would very much appreciate any help with info on how to root/install TWRP. Additionally I know that the S6 on 5.0.2 can be rooted but I also heard that once you update to 5.1.1 can't downgrade but it's worth a shot. I also heard that the [email protected] version has a locked boot loader is there any way to unlock it? If not would flashing say a T-Mobile stock ROM work? Thank you for any help. I also know that Devs don't like being asked for ETAs so instead I will ask if anyone knows how development of Cyenogenmod for the S6 Edge is progressing?
There's no way to unlock the bootloader on the AT&T version of the phone. You won't be able to use a custom recovery such as TWRP.
This is also my first Samsung phone (I've always used HTC devices, which were so easy to unlock/root). Since you're on 5.1.1, I don't think there's any way to achieve root (yet). I may be wrong there, though.
There is no way to root, if you want to do fun stuff with your phone, stay away from at&t

Hi, I'm also in the same boat. I know that this thread is old but I am planning to buy the s6 edge with AT&T (used). The phone is currently running on 5.1.1, (OJ9).
Before buying, is there any possible root YET? Am I possible to downgrade? I am sure these questions have been answered multiple times, but like I said, the threads that I have found via XDA are old. So before purchasing, I'd just like to make sure. Thank you so much!!

No and no , the only hope we have is when we get android 6 and wait for any possible new root method.
Hey guys,
I've searched quite a bit, but just wanted to confirm. As it seems not that many people have the DOI1 firmware, so I haven seen any posts related to rooting this version. I would like to root my phone without tripping Knox. Has anybody been able to? If so, please point me in the right direction. I've read about Unikernel but I know it trips Knox.
Thanks in advance,
Nope, there is no way to root without tripping knox on this firmware version yet.

Thanks. I'm ignoring the DOJ7 Update like crazy... I hope something comes out soon.
Okay so I have the AT&T version of the galaxy s6 obviously and from what information I got it already it seems difficult to root this phone I've tried a few methods but they don't seem to work unless I'm doing something wrong I currently have service with Cricket Wireless but I'm using a AT&T galaxy s6 with that prevent me from rooting my phone any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance
I do not think root is currently possible for the latest (s6) versions of Android.
Correct. Depends on your software version whether it's rootable or not. If you are on 5.0.2 either OF3 or OF4, or any 5.1.1, there is currently no root available.

That spot that says android version 5.1.1. That's your answer. Not rootable.

****! Well can I at least tether my internet? And when exactly did the 5.1.1 update come out
Hello
Did a lot of rooting back in the day but it's been a while since.
I assume things have changed in 3 years.
Could someone put a basic Tutorial refresher sticky here for those needing it.
Appreciated greatly.
there's no root method for the note 8 yet
it just launched yesterday I doubt every other developer already got there hands on it
