Does it root the S6 Edge?

Looks promising. I like that it doesn't trip KNOX but will the "custom status" be a problem?
I'm 7 days into this phone, still have a week to return/exchange it if something is defective. So far it's running fine, dont foresee need to take it back.
But .............. If I did need to return it, is there an "unroot" and/or a way to remove the custom status ?
*** EDIT *** I haven't read all the way thru the root thread, so if my question has already been answered I apologize.

No Custom Status
I have now rooted twice, flashing the firmware posted in this forum in the middle. My phone has not shown custom on the bootscreen once. I also encrypt before I root, so maybe thats it. Who knew you could be encrypted with root?

Have you uninstall all the att bloatware without problems? Or used greenify to improve battery life?

Yes, all the typical rooting items work as they should. You can even flash zips with fireflash, and not trip Knox.

It's NOT in the bootscreen where you can see the custom status. It's in settings / about device / status. In the last line it crearly says "Custom" under Device status.

You'll generally have to manually flash updates once you've rooted, the OTA process will usually refuse to update a device running a modified system image. Not that big a problem, but sometimes it confuses people.

Or, install Samsung drivers, then Odin, and flash a stock image that way to return to stock, then OTA works fine. There is another thread around here with a stock image, I'd suggest anyone looking to return to stock in order to complete an OTA, to review that thread.

Would we be able to use fireflash and keep root if somebody were to get the OTA and customize it for our needs to keep root, etc? I know it's a hard question to answer, but maybe you guys have experience with other locked bootloader devices.

This is similar to how we did it on the AT&T S4 using safestrap to flash touchwiz based roms that were pre-rooted. Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to flash non-touchwiz based roms without an unlocked bootloader.

[ROOT] PingPongRoot ***S6 & S6 Edge Root Tool*** by idler1984

It seems that many 925A'ers are not leaving this forum to find out that YES, we have root! The unnecessary questions, comments, doubts are starting to pile up, so maybe this is the best way to ensure everyone knows that YES (again), we have root. Here are THREE posts from the SAME person in DIFFERENT threads asking the SAME thing:
There's root for the g925a? Where?

If that won't drive you crazy, it should at least get you warned for not following forum rules and searching instead of posting for no reason..... If that user searched, they would have easily found this thread showing you exactly how to root the 925A!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3103016
To be 110% clear....... this was developed by @idler1984, NOT me, so thank them - all credit goes to them, I'm just trying to keep the 925A forum cleared up if at all possible!
ENJOY!
EDIT - and because someone asked........ Root has been achieved for both OCE and the 5.13.15 OE2 update
EDIT 2 - and because more people can't read, you CANNOT root anything past May 15th builds, so none of the OF_ updates, nothing that comes out after May 15th, so don't update unless you want to lose root! The information is all there in the thread linked above, if you don't read, you don't have anyone to blame but yourself!

Good job. Was thinking of doing the same.

omg thank you. by the way that first quote was mine sorry. and i did search to no avail. thanks a bunch for clearing this up. and ill try to be more thorough with my search next time.

Okay, that makes sense then, OC9 instead of what I thought you were talking about, "OE9" which I guess does not exist (yet?)
They skipped that one because OE2 is out and there's no need to get the build in the middle developed, from what I can tell.... I've been wrong before though! Just hit your software update and get OE2 then root that, it has the most updates we're going to see before 5.1.1 comes out next month (still more speculating, but that's an informed guess this time based on lots of reading up on the new Galaxy from across the web)

New bootloader blocks downgrading, be careful installing 5.1.1 OTA!
Kernel built after May 15th (including some 5.0.2 and all 5.1.1) have this bug fixed. Be cautious when installing OTA these days and FlashFire might be your best shot of upgrading systems. Use Odin to unroot and receive OTA if you want.

New (9/23/2015) OTA update?

I just got a notice that there's a new software update available on my S6 Edge. Clicking the "Learn more online" link, it states this:
"The following improvement has been made:
- Android security patches."
That's it. Then it goes into detail to describe what that means. It seems a LOT of devices are affected, and I can't find any mention of it anywhere on here nor Googling for it. Anyone know what this is? I don't recall hearing of any security issues -- could it be Marshmallow maybe?
I've been wanting root for a while, but missed out on that train when I upgraded to 5.1.1 (G925VVRU3BOG5) -- anyone know if this new version any easier to root?

The Galaxy S6 (all variants) will receive monthly software updates focused on patching security flaws no matter how minor.
There is no clue as to when (or even if )a new root exploit will be found.
How root works is the security of the device gets breached.
Since most security flaws get patched monthly, do not begin to think these updates will make root easier.

So am I correct in thinking that staying where I am now is a better idea than updating if my aim is to (hopefully) root this phone at some point? It sounds like this update in particular isn't so much for features as it is fixing potential exploits.

This update is specifically for patching security vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
I can't say for sure, but I doubt that these updates are patching root exploits.
If I were in your shoes I would just take the OTA.

This is incorrect. They patched stagefright, but the fix was rushed and didn't prevent all methods of exploit. I'm hoping this 2nd update closes the remaining CVE.

Like was said earlier in this thread, as well as many others, the root exploit was patched awhile ago.
This build has no root; there is no knowing if or when a new exploit will be found.

[Kernel/Root] Root for the SM-G530P 5.1.1 [AOI1]

Root method for AOI1 / 5.1.1 for the SM-G530P THIS WILL TRIP KNOX. If you don't want to trip knox don't use this. If you do use it and whine you tripped knox because you didn't read ,we will all point and laugh at you.
Named it TrapKernel because well its not my normal HispAsian Kernel and I listened to a crap ton of Trap Music while doing it.
Thanks to @g.lewarne and his root method with his Unibase and Unikernel for the s6 , we finally have root after I ported it over to us. So be sure to thank him for his work.
What's included:
Auto installation of root and busy box
Kernel set to permissive
Otherwise stock
So here's the deal. Stupid simple. Make sure OEM unlock is checked in dev options if you have it.
1. Put Phone in Download mode
2. Open Odin
3. Connect Phone
4. Put Kernel in AP Slot
5.Flash it
6. Reboot and profit
Notes:
Download SuperSu from the Playstore. Its not included.
Change ro.securestorage=true to false in build.prop to make phone stop forgetting wifi passwords.
Delete the /system/app/SecurityLogAgent folder ot get rid of ratarded system modified warning
Download
Do NOT mirror this link. Period.
TrapKernel AOI1
Thanks to @Newyork! for testing it
​

Source code for permissive for anyone who wants it. Fork, build it, mod it, whatever

I can confirm that everything works great!!

Friendly warning for people who are rooting the G530P after March 26th, there is a new software version rolling out labelled as APC4. It's still 5.1.1 but there could be compat. issues if updated to APC4. Unknown yet. Try at your own risk.

My friend tried it just now and she said it did root the device. So no compat issues. People can enjoy the APC4 bugfixes with the AOF8 / AOI1 root kernel.

OK, I have a SM-G530P with 5.1.1 AOl1, after flashing this with Odin and it doesn't get past the SprintSpark boot screen.

Clarification needed
Is this 'Permanent Root'? I rooted my G530P using the CF method and when using EFS Pro, it told me that the device didn't have permanent root. Can anyone tell me if CF is permanent or Temporary?

Can't keep track of all the build numbers anymore, but I'm assuming this is a Nougat (7.x.x) build? If so, no root at this time, and I'm not aware of anyone working on it. If you NEED root, buy a different phone.
