Odin root may or may not be possible on the ATT variant, only time will tell.
It time to return s5

I saw a post from Chainfire indicating he was releasing auto-roots for a bunch of variants today(he didn't mention which ones but I've got my fingers crossed). Apparently the current bottleneck is Sammy's crappy d/l servers.
Looks like no dice with Chainfire, at least for now. https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/JVxv5298wdU
Apparently he needs the recovery extracted from the firmware. I checked sammobile.com for our firmware and they haven't put it out yet. I sure hope they do.

Yeah thats the part I'm not following. Can't I pull this from the Phone with Odin and send it to him or does the dump function not work on the S5?

You can't usually dump the recovery partition without having root...usually a custom recovery is needed...hence he needs the firmware which contains the recovery partition.

Chainfire has already said more than once that it can't be dumped.

Just curious if we will be able to root without a unlocked bootloader. With other devices I don't recall that being an issue. But then again this is the first one I've had that's been this locked down.

CF root likely won't work if the ATT BL is locked, but the only definitive way to check is to get the firmware and extract the recovery, send it to CF and have him package something up and then have someone flash with Odin, if the BL is locked, then it will either fail to flash, fail to boot, or worse, also once you flash anything not deemed official you trip the knox warranty flag and your without a warranty..

I'm pretty sure root will break some things. I was able to sign up for Isis and get the $50 credit, but my wife wasn't able since her Note 3 is rooted. Google Wallet might still work though. Ready to root though.

Do you have xposed framework installed on her note 3? If so use rootcloak and your problem is solved.

Good luck the exploit was patched. Hopefully someone will crack it but don't get to exited

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.
AT&T S6 Root on OF3
Just got my new Samsung Galaxy S6 with AT&T. Tried PingPong root, to no avail. Here's my info:
SAMSUNG-SM-G920A
Android 5.0.2
G920AUCU2AOF3
Kernel 3.10.61-4823236
Jun 18 2015
Can anyone give me a hand rooting this thing? I saw some posts saying the -OF3 variant isn't rootable, and to downgrade or rebuild the kernel to a previous date.
You have to wait. No root method yet for OF3 or OF4. You can't downgrade either.

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, 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?
Can you downgrade Baseband version: G920AUCU3BOJ7 (current) to G920AUCU3BO12?
If yes, will this process make any changes to the phone permanently? like tripping knox
Also, how do you do this?
thank you
jin
Yes you can.
it doesn't trip knox.
just find the firmware, and flash it with odin.
just want to be certain
I read that downgrading from 5.1.1 to 5.0.2 will trip the knox.
But it won't trip KNOX if you downgrade from G920AUCU3BOJ7 to G920AUCU3BO12?
If this is possible, why are more people not just downgrading and rooting? You make it sound so simple, but there's gotta be a catch.

I don't think you can downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.0.2.
My question was downgrading from G920AUCU3BOJ7 to G920AUCU3BO12. Both are 5.1.1 firmware.
Ah, my mistake. I misunderstood.

This is the only place anywhere I find this exact base band. Did you find root?

There is no root for any 5.1.1 build on the AT&T variant.

I figured based on some things I found after posting... If it's not on XDA then it's not happening, that much I've learned. I've also learned that my disdain for both Samsung and AT&T is at an all time high. The bloat is killing this phone. Time to find a way out of it and into a Nexus 6P.. Anyone want an un-rootable bloated SM-G920A lol?
