They say the galaxy s6 has a locked bootloader. There appears to be a way to do a tethered root if your on 5.0.1 I think but no way to root anything after that because of the locked bootloader from everything I have read in these forums.
If you do a forum search for rooting the S6 you can read deeper into the issue.

If you weren't rooted before the update I don't think there is a way right now at this point.

Thank you thats what I kinda figured. Thanks for clearing that up. Hopefully they figure a way to root it.
Figured that's what the deal was.
I believe that you can odin back to 4.4.2 NC2 without issues and then towelroot and safestrap. Follow the thread in general section.

I tried the PingPong root method used on the S6 with no luck. I did add the FPtag that the OP asks for in requesting new devices, so who knows, maybe they will look into S 5 support

Thanks for the info, i didn't tried that method, thanks for letting us know.
Let's hope they work on the S5.
I am skeptical. This seems like it's "too good to be true" but I am wondering if anyone has tried this:
http://www.oneclickroot.com/device/att-samsung-galaxy-s5-lollipop/
I already had to take my phone to the AT&T Repair store after trying other things. I don't want them to think I am up to something.
Does not work just tried

Unless we can roll back BL then it won't work, unfortunately.
My att note 3 was on 5.0 with locked boot loader and went all the way back to 4.4.2 to root

It also has to do with qfuse counts.
muniz_ri posted a very informative message in one of the other related threads, but I've lost track of it, but one of the counters that is hardware based once flipped will prevent earlier BL from functioning with the hardware.
Thus, for the G900A once you've run the OC4 bootloader you can't go back to the earlier editions.
I'm sorry for the numb question. The forums here are really confusing. I'm a veteran jailbreaker but I'm completely lost on Android rooting
Hey Gabedurhamm:
sadly, there isn't any root avalable for G925AOJ9 5.1.1 at the moment. Probably there never will be, since the bootloader is locked and the devs are not interested in trying so...
AT&T sucks....

They are Kernels with root capabilities via ADB
if I do the adb root method could I sim unlock the phone with an app and revert back to stock ROM?
I will fork it out, wish I did some research before buying an Att phone, even when it was listed unlocked. I have rooted every galaxy s 1,2,3,4 before this one, but this one Is a muther. I don't have time to painfully go through the research of bypassing this new baderass knox.

Try downgrading to Android 4.4.4 KitKat and then towelrooting it (towelroot .com/tr.apk)

Ohhhh I didn't look at the baseband version.. Yeah it will brick your device. At this point you should take what I say with a grain of salt when I say you can't root lollipop and you should have better luck sticking to lollipop and waiting for someone to find a vulnerability in marshmallow.
Looks like that rooting is gonna have to wait a bit longer
Speaking of... Long shot here, but has anyone started looking for a vulnerability to exploit?

The OP requested instructions without preexisting root access. He has to downgrade to KitKat before rooting, and then he can do whatever.

Doesn't apply to this situation.
From first link:
"(Caution! Do not flash if you have taken the OC4, OF2, or OF3 ota updates) and root with TowelRoot, before continuing with the above process."
TowelRoot doesn't work here.
Second link:
"Make sure your AT&T Galaxy S5 is 100% stock Android 4.4.4 KitKat firmware."
So no.
Figured I'd name a post to see if anyone has it. I do NOT have it on my Verizon branded phone from Best Buy. Anyone else care to chime in? Thanks.

Not really...search the threads for root...the discussion for root is not really updates but a request for support...
The mods are in the process of making carrier specific threads...

The carrier is irrelevant. The only thing that makes any difference from a root point of view is the SoC. Exynos=root. Snapdragon=weeping.
There is a thread where they're working on Snapdragon root. Use the search function and see if you can find it.

There is root on the S8+ but no unlocked bootloader. Its a convoluted root process.
