I believe there is a way for you too downgrade , root then keep the root with an update .. not 100% on the method but it is a possibility. You would have to use the new kernel i believe.

I'd probably jump on that. Luckily I'm still back on OE2 so I've got root. But sooner or later AT&T will release 5.1.1 and I'll want it.
Anyone already on 5.1.1 without root? try some common root methods. Pingpong, etc. To see if anything works.
Hey you never know if an older exploit makes its way back into newer releases. It's happened before.
Please post your results and what methods you've tried.

So when you say you can try, are you on 5.1.1 or you still on 5.0.2 OCE?

Anybody else see that build number and couldn't help but think about Avril Lavigne?
sk8rboi! lol @raduque
So, I wonder how long it will be before we have Flashfire files for OI2; rooted or otherwise? I'm not expecting current root methods to work, and am absolutely FINE waiting however long it takes for root. Meanwhile, I'm reading that 5.1.1 brings us an overall performance improvement, and just for that reason, I am soooooo excited we're FINALLY getting it!!!

What the purpose of this thread or at least my intention was to have people attempt current root methods on OI2. Also to obtain the tar for 5.1.1 since I have all of my OTA services disabled. I could enable them but if someone had the tar already that would be better.
Additionally, I'd like to work towards a root method with other devs and enthusiast's for 5.1.1. Not that this release will be any easier than OF3/4 But you never know.
Thanks.

I would settle for the OTA file to sideload with ADB just to get the update but the .tar would be fantastic. I read that the edge guys sideloaded the OTA and retained root from 5.0.2.

I'm not sure that's been confirmed successful yet. I've been actively keeping track of the ATT S6 Edge forums since I got the phone in April. Many users (including me) have yet to update from OE2 (5.0.2) because that's the last update where we were able to keep root. I know that there are threads here on the regular S6 forum where people upgraded from OE2 to OF3 and OF4 while retaining root, but I haven't seen that happen on the Edge yet. (SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US EDGE USERS!)
In regards to the OI2 upgrade for the Edge, I saw 1 post for someone that "said" they upgraded from OE2 (5.0.2) to OI2 (5.1.1) and kept root, but no one else has had any luck with that yet.
Has anyone got the OTA file for the standard S6 yet?
Hello, change my old "S4 active" for a new "S5 active" and I would like to be root , I have the version 5.0 with the number of Compilation G870AUCU2BOF2.
There is a way to root this version? or if I have to do downlograde please let me the link to the thread.
Thank you. :fingers-crossed:

You cannot downgrade or root, and most likely never will on this phone.

Is development dead for this phone? I haven't seen many posts on xda about a possible exploit or any rooms in general for our variant in a while
Pretty sure it's dead.
Yeah I agree it's dead

It's sad how this phone didn't really have any special attributes to keep people using it like the s5. There is still devolopment from the s5 but this one is dead. Verizon needs to stop locking phones and they would have many more satisfied customers

Sorry, bud. No root is currently available and from the look of things, it won't every be able to be rooted.
thank you

I've not had much time lately to do proper research or trial-and-error on this topic (especially since this is for a friend). I was wondering if it is at all possible to root the SM-G920A on 6.0.1 G920AUCU3PD6? I've checked out the other threads and they are all about updating or there's that one about flashing the Verizon stock. But nothing about just achieving root on this update.
Thanks in advance if I don't get back to the replies quickly!
Not yet to my knowledge.

Dang, lol I'm in the same situation, if you used odin all you would have to do is find the tar file :/
if the tethered root can be ported to 6.0.1 we might have something

There's nothing to port. We need an engineering kernel to leak as it did for Lollipop.
