Is it possible to root AT&T S6 on G920AUCU2AOF3?
Not at the moment.. Sadly
Hello,
I'm about to get a new work phone - My employer uses AT&T in the US and asked me which phone I want. I'd like to get a GS6 or GS6 edge+ but wanted to check the status of root, since having it is pretty important to me. I know pingpong root was working for a while but that doesn't seem to be the case any more? From the looks of the forums, it looks like root may not be available on the newer versions.
I'm going to have a look at the AT&T store tomorrow. What do I need to look for to determine if it's currently root-able? Am I looking for a specific revision of the phone itself, or only a certain Android software version?
Thanks.

Right now as it stands it looks like rooting the S6 AT&T variants that took the 5.1.1 updates won't be getting root for a long while. I would pick the LG V10 or a S6 edge+ if you had the choice to pick up an AT&T phone. If you don't care too much about specs AT&T also carries the HTC One A9 which you can unlock bootloader quickly and root. I am using the stock S6 right now and I just disabled a bunch of apps and use greenify and it works fine for the time. I miss having V4A and also titanium backup pro.
I heard chainfire released some CF-Auto root files for 5.1.1, not sure if they work with the AT&T variant, and I heard it is as simple as flashing in Odin, getting a bootloop, wiping cache and rebooting.

Interesting. If this isn't a direct means to get us root, then I don't know what is. Now we just need to find a developer or skilled person that could exploit this for our variant...

Hopefully some one with the skills can have a look at this.
Hey Everyone,
Just lost my S4 to the road (ride a motorcycle and phone fell out of the holder) and just got this S5 SM-G900A from AT&T to replace it. The new phone is fantastic - a dream, but from all the research I have done here and elsewhere, I am not really clear on whether I can downgrade to Lollipop 5.0 or any version of KitKat.
The problem here is that I have a very expensive set of earbuds and the best sound I can get out of them is by using the S4 with viper4android installed. However, viper4android requires the phone to be rooted and from what I can tell, it cannot be rooted with Lollipop 5.1.1.
So...can I downgrade to a lower version of android? The few pieces of info I have found has been related to people bricking their phone trying this. Is it because they did it wrong, or is it true that 5.1.1 has prevented the ability to downgrade.
Whatever info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Incidentally, I have tried towelroot and kingroot but to no avail.
Any insight into the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks -
Rick
Is there a root for At&t Samsung Galaxy S5 5.1.1.??
There us no root nor a way to down grade, unfortunately.

Thank you for the reply. At least I know now.
Sorry in advance, I couldn't find a definite answer. I know a while ago it wasn't possible but I'm wondering about now. Some say it can be rooted and others say it can't. So can a Verizon Galaxy S8 edge be rooted? Model number is SM-G950U and it is on software version 8.0.0. If it can be rooted, what is the best method?
Edit: what is the latest software version that can be rooted? I can keep it at 8 but if I can update it and root I would like to do that
