DISCLAIMER:
Code:
Your warranty is now void. I nor XDA is responsible for the effects this may have on your device or your life, whether that be bricking, loss of data, combustion, nuclear war, or the election of businessmen as President (wait what).
Remember, its not root that puts your device in danger, its how you use it.
If you don't know what a locked bootloader is, or think that Chainfire is a new video game, you shouldn't be here, go read a little about Android and the Galaxy S6 before continuing
THIS METHOD IS UNTESTED!!!
DANGER AHEAD!!
Now that you have been sufficiently warned, let's begin:
What You'll Need:
This *experimental* firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298935742
What To Do:
Step 1: Hacky flashy stuffs
Use ODIN to flash the experimental firmware.
MASTER CAUTION: This will wipe ALL data on the device!! Backup your stuff before proceeding. I nor XDA is responsible for loss of your memes!
Simply flash the .TAR.MD5 file in the zip using the AP slot in ODIN, and then wait for the phone to boot (which is literally all of 10 seconds).
Step 2: ???
Now this is where you guys are really needed! We need to pinpoint what exploits work on this build and what exploits don't. So far, PingPong and towelroot are out.
Step 3: --
After we've got Step 2 covered, this step will be updated with instructions for flashing a pre-rooted 5.0 ROM.
IT IS UP TO THE COMMUNITY TO GET THIS GOING! I DO NOT OWN A GALAXY S6 SO I CAN'T TEST ROOT METHODS. IF YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS, PLEASE TELL US IMMEDIATELY! THANKS!

Both. The root actually takes you down to 5.0 using an engineering firmware.
How is the testing going? I'm really needing root for a thing so I'm kind of on the edge of my seat.

I haven't gotten a response yet from any of my testers so I honestly don't know. If you'd be willing to test the exploit I can PM you the files.
I'm down to guinea pig! Just let me know what I need to do.
Anyone have any further progress update?

Not at this time because all of my testers seem to have gone into silent mode.
Does this stick after subsequent updates to at least 6.0? Have you tried,what were your results?
Any chance this would work on the AT&T S6 Edge, If so I would be willing to test
AptLogic I sent you a PM

Making some progress, we've got the basic stuff down (and SELinux Permissive) and now we're narrowing down what exploits will work correctly.

Now that I am rooted what sorts of things can I do? I have had an iPhone for 5 years and jailbreaking was really simple. I want to get a better understanding how flashing roms and where I should start off at as to getting so more cool stuff on my phone.

Well you can't flash anything cause your bootloader is locked. You can do some pretty cool stuff still with xposed framework and the wanam module. Theres a thread about it in the ATT themes and app section. You can do a lot more with root, xposed and wanam than you could ever dream of with a apple device.

Just be very careful not to get into an unrecoverable boot loop. There is no way to get back to mj5 right now.

Kingoroot alway says root failed for me after I got the update and lost root. Is there any trick or anything I'm doing wrong to get it to work?
Kingo root. Its literally the easiest thing ever. This is my first android device and I haven't seen a single problem with it or the Roms I've flashed.
I'm having issues with Kingo root -- can someone explain what MJ5 stands for?
When I use kingo I simply get scriptError

To getting so more stuff is now available via OTA and gained around 27MB in size to download. If your device was rooted with ‘root de la vega’ then you must see to it first on how to kepp your device rooted for you are about to end your root privileged once you took this update.

This is not my work.
This Rom is ported by spegelius. I've found this here: http://forum.slimroms.net/topic/100-galaxy-s4-active/
Everything seems to be ok.
Bugs:
720p video recording produces crap video(but 1080p works fine)
HDR
Download:
-Rom
-Gapps
Screenshots:
I am sorry I posted in General but i couldn't post in Development.
Thanks for making this more public, this way more people will get the chance to try it
Just one important hint, @spegelius didn't port it, he compiled that beast from Source, which is an important fact
I can confirm that this is a good, daily driver for sure!

Oh hey, thanks for putting this up . I never got around to it, didn't seem that too many users were interested about it. But good to hear it works for people. And about the build, i used LeJay's kernel sources etc to make it happen.
Happy to know about this! Already dowwloaded it but I need my phone working this weekend and I can't risk to have any kind of problem, I will surelly try it as soon as I get home next week.
Thanks a lot! Hope more people start working on I9295, my son's Moto G just got the OTA 4.4 update, lucky him!

It's 4.3.1. For non-international S4 Active, there would need to be proper kernel at least...

Install the rom? Flash it with CWM. Install the kernel? Well i don't know about other devices than Intl S4 Active, but inst it like, even if there was such kernel, it can't be flashed due to locked bootloader?

This looks good. Has anyone (besides spegelius) flashed it? I'm reasonably satisfied with my rooted 4.2.2 stock ROM and really want to move to 4.4. On my SIII I already had KitKat and now I have to settle with 4.2
Cheers
I installed this ROM but google play acts strange. It doesn't reinstall all my packages and still refuses to install for instance swype. I chose for the aroma gapps but will do a new wipe and try another gapps
Cheers
Must have been the gapps. Up and running now and reinstalling apps. Looks good
Cheers
I have several issues. My titanium restored Wi-Fi passwords are disappearing each time. The phone discharges as fast as it is charging. It will probably be empty after 1 hour on battery.
I think I will switch to my LG G2 I recently acquired... any ideas?
Cheers

http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/wip-aosp-nougat-nexus-5-t3446875
So I am on the way but it's a huge task for me because I am not a developer so everything is new and 1st time for me. So will be using lehman words here
1st I need to flash device so I am using this link for the same.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
I tried as per the instructions but unable to find required "Android Bootloader Interface" during the installation. Not sure why is that?
Attaching the screenshot for quick reference.

Go ahead bro, there always be a first time........you are in the right place to have support.

goood luck
First thing needed: Google USB drivers, if you install them, they'll install automaticly after device plug in.
Second: unlocked bootloader, i don't remember what command is for that (i've done it a lot time ago) but on google site it is. Of course, you need to do it by fastboot.
Third: recovery, TWRP from their site and flash by fastboot.
Fourth: rom flash by recovery, it'll be easy.
Little instructions for you
finally I am all good with Nougat on my Nexus 5
Hey all, I am kid from 80s who have seen computers and internet Growing Up Right in Front of Me. I was feeling the same exictement that I had while installing windows 98
I spend almost 5 hours in one single day and I was a kind of shock after having a Nougat on my Nexus.
One thing here is for sure that restart may resolve problem in windows on 1st try but on the phone have to be patience and still rebooting the device may solve many problems...
Thanks a lot to seniors and other developers for their job....
It can't be more short

Yes, that's it and we are done with the update if one knows the steps than I think it will take only 1 hour max to get latest updates on Android. Thanks for keeping it short...

Hello forum, if someone could help me finding out, whether I bricked my device doing a pat step, or if it's still possible to recover it, I'd be most glad!
After unlocking the bootloader, it might be, I did a wrong step restarting too soon or something, or trying to boot into a wrong twrp-version. Actually I don't remember each step, as this happened a few months ago...
Thank you for now,
draftflash
if you still can, boot into fastboot and on your pc type
fastboot -w reboot.
if it doesn't work then consider using this firmware updater https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-stock-rom-for-xt2083-reteu.4214883/

ouh, don't think so. I choose it for being said to be a bit lighter. But I am thinking of changing back to LineageOS for /e/ is a bit too close to conventional ROMs, regarding the user surface. But actually I don't know the newer versions of LineageOS.

I dont know if it is available, but for another phone I´ve tried dotOS and was pretty nice, at least on the surface, didn´t dig too deep inside the OS but it seems like a good option, also it has optimization in its DNA
is there a tutorial to root your device on here
I've checked youtube and some online articles, but almost ROOT is limited to MIUI 12 or MIUI 13.0.5 or below, if anyone is sure of rooting my system, please share the corresponding youtube link or the corresponding online article
I'm in a hurry and need it very much. If you can help me find it, please let me know as soon as possible,[email protected]

Advice in this case.
Don't root if you are in a hurry
Bootloader unlock is at least 7 days waiting
Backup before and restore after format is again a couple of hours
Brick is a couple of weeks or papermate

I don't have any data and can format at any time,
I hope to achieve ROOT as soon as possible, Maybe 7 days can also wait or over 7 days,
I was wondering if there is an exact way?
Of course, I also hope that it will not become a brick,
Why should I root?
Because I'm very disgusted with the monitoring and security software that comes with the mobile phone system, I don't need these software and management, I am use to assured of Google's management, and don't need mobile phone security App,

There is a lot of information how to unlock and root your Xiaomi device.
So I won't give you a detailed guide.
- Start with bootloader unlock
- While waiting 7 days, study how to go further and download everything you need.
- Like ADB, Twrp or Orangefox, Magisk, Custom rom and optional Gapps
...................... Studying before next actions is necessary to avoid a brick ..........................................
- After 7 days, unlock
- Flash with fastboot, recovery (Twrp or Orangefox)
- Reboot to recovery
- Follow flash and format instructions of desired Rom
- Flash Magisk for root
PS
Please don't shout anymore for root in a hurry
