Need help clarifying root, etc. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6

Hi, I am helping my friend root his at&t s6. I come from the T-Mobile Note line.
In my experience I use odin to add a custom recovery (twrp) and then I can flash root and roms.
What I read is different. Is there no custom bootloader or recovery? also, anytime he wants a new rom will he have to use odin?
Can someone please give me a run down so I can understand this better?

Sorry dude. Start reading the stickies. Get used to the idea that you need to figure out the simple things by actually reading stuff. After some personal input, people are of course prepared to answer any questions you have might have.

First off, this thread is in the wrong section. This is not development related.
Second, since its been asked anyway, you could start off by searching and reading stickes as suggested by androidsjonnie
And my suggestion is to decide on a custom ROM to use and follow the install instructions provided for that ROM. AFAIK, by default samsung rom's, cannot be flashed using clockwork recovery. you will have to rely on odin for them.
And if you just need clockwork recovery, you start by downloading ROM Manager.
**** Topic name !
Read Stickys and learn to use the Search Function !
don't be hard on the iPhone user! we all know how they are..
If you've read the info on ClockWork recovery.. It needs a compatible Kernel to work.. so checkout the kernels at the dev't section..

Need help flashing Roms!

I really have no idea where to start on this. I traded my One X for a rooted Note and I was happy to start flashing roms but then I read that I can hard brick pretty easy. Usually I'm pretty good with following instructions but I don't even know where to start with this. I am on ICS and its rooted. How do I tell if I have a safe kernel? What do I do if I don't? Help a noob out. I've spent quite a bit of time reading the forums looking for answers but I don't even know what I'm looking for.

You could start by telling us what your 'about phone' in Settings says.
We need more info in order to help you out here.

You can read the following thread:
Helpful info on ICS, GB, Bricks, Flashing etc...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659768
This is what my about says. So this is what I gather from reading around, I just flash ANY GB rom, root and then flash a kernel, reboot into recovery and wipe then install the rom?
Sorry about being a noob. There are so many different things about this on here. I don't know what applies to me.

Go back to GB with root like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25285584&postcount=3
Then find the custom Rom you like, carefully read the OP, and follow the installation instructions to the letter - not all of them are the same.
I think you can try Rocket Rom! The best rom i had!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654838
eybee provide the full steps(as easy as that)
b2) coming from other rooted Samsung ICS-Custom-ROM or rooted ICS Stock ROM (FullWipe):
- download Abyss Kernel 4.2 from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?c65mndvpk6ocbaa
- put zip-file on your USB-storage
- boot in Recovery
- Flash Abyss Kernel 4.2!!!
- boot back in Recovery (find it under 'advanced')
- now FullWipe!!!
- Flash ROM
- reboot system
-...you are done
Ill try the rocketrom method when I get home. Hopefully I don't end up with a fancy brick. Thanks so much.

I don't have CWM installed. Can I just flash it in the stock recovery? Or do I need a specific one?

You can't flash it in stock recovery. Get CWM in the link i gave you.
Thanks. I haven't felt like this much of a noob since the first time I rooted my old Desire HD.

How to install TWRP in GT-N7000 with Odin? (and more questions)

Hi, How to install TWRP in GT-N7000 with Odin?
Any tutorial for this? I have the galaxy note version GT-N7000. I would like put into multi-language version. Is it possible? Any Stock ROM for do it this? I would like one ROM with root and multi-language that include chinese and english/spanish. If it is not possible also can serve me CWM recovery.
With this phone, is it possible flash ROM file since custom recovery normally? Or is it necessary see the built version before of flashing? how does it works?
Sorry for my poor english and the stupid questions...
Thank you!!
You can't install twrp. On this device the recovery is implemented in the kernel. As such you would have to compile a kernel using twrp.
As for CWM, look for the "philz" kernel thread.
Also next time be a little less ................. And actually search, or even look at the FAQ or sticky thread.

Sorry about posting in the wrong forum. Thank you so much for the feedback, it has been irritating me that I could not find the answer to my problem. I appreciate your time and feed back.

Your good just letting you know because mostly no one usely replies lol in wrong thread post and also the bootloader shouldn't cause any problems with any roms as I have mf9 on my phone without Knox counter and have flash many roms the only thing that might give you issues is modem most roms work better with the same base and modem stick to that and you'll be fine

Yes it will install and work just fine. Please contact a mod to have this thread deleted or moved to q&a. I can confirm that it will work and is a very stable daily driver
This should be changed to Q&A or the Negalite thread, BUT thanks cause this was something I was looking for and couldnt find anywhere else.

Note 4 Rooting?

Hey guys. please help me. I bought a note 4 the normal one (SM-N910F) and have lollipop on it. I'd like to root it but I don't know if this is possible because it has lollipop. Can anyone give me some advice please. Or would you rather suggest me Rooting it or not since it's new.
If you root your device, you active the knox flag 0x1 and lost your warranty, but with root you can do all things like customize your device with a new rom and some mods, and the best option is delete all bloatware.
Root is admin permission.

I would always root the phone to get rid of bloatware and improve perfomance, get CPU control etc.
The best way for me to root it is the CWM or TWRP recovery method.
