Just got a S6 Active and think I made a mistake - Galaxy S6 Active

Straight up Question: Is there any way to root?
I just picked up an S6 Active with 6.0.1 on it and was planning to root it and use it for some in car functions that I need root access for. I should have done some more research prior to buying [emoji20] Am I just not finding it or is there no known way to root the S6 Active? I have searched and it does look like there is no solution, but figured I would ask before I sold the phone again :silly: Thanks all!

No reliably known method to root. Many claims, no evidence.

Yeah dude cf auto root and odin3 v3.11.2

I don't see it in the list of supported devices. Have you successfully done this?

take note thats the first time poster has posted also there is no method that currently works on 6 or above just read the forums..... All those claiming it has been done have never posted proof or instructions....... Sorry to have ruined your hopes but thats just how things are currently!

Thank you. I ended up selling the S6 and got another device that I rooted. Thanks for your help.

Well that's just great, another device down the not-getting drain. No root, no way for unlocking bootloader or no new nice LaOS.

Unrooting a P1010

Because the P1010 is the unloved orphan of the Tab world, I take all general Tab technical instructions that I read with a grain of salt when it comes to actually using them on this version of the box. While I used SuperOneClick to successfully root it with no problems, and I see that big fat Unroot button sitting there, I would just like to hear from anyone who has successfully unrooted their P1010 using SOC. Anyone have any caveats at all on this?
Update: For the faint of heart like me, just a note that SOC Unroot does indeed work for the P1010.

Bump, I followed the tutorial for rooting from here and would like to unroot it since I don't think it was rooted properly. Rooted apps like SuperUser give errors. I upgraded to Gingerbread and then rooted using this method and not SuperOneClick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520859
Just wondering how it gets unrooted using that same method since SuperOneClick seems to not work on my device.
I rooted mine without any problems at all using a different tutorial. I'll see if I can find the link when I next get back to my PC.
The 1010 does seem to be Samsung's dirty little secret but there are still some members who have it. I know a lot more about modding than when I got it so I'm about to try to do some clever stuff with it.
If it works, and if there's enough interest, I'll just have to share it here.

[Q] Help: JB has ruined my phone. Need ICS back!

JB is freezing my phone, my shift kept no longer functions and half the things don't work. I tried to factory reset and it still has all of the same issues, none of these happened during ICS. Please help, Verizon customer.
i'm in the same boat as you, i really need ICS back, updated on accident now i can't use the hotspot app, i really don't wanna have to go on ebay and buy a stock droid 4.

and there is no guarentee buying a stock phone will have ics anyway, droid 4 originally came with GS. 2.3.6
There is no way to go back to ICS.
The Mobile Hotspot app works just fine under JB as it did under ICS and GB. The SQL database hack still works, at least it still works on mine, my wife's and my sister's D4's.

Why can't you use the hotspot app? If you are rooted, you can make it work, no problem.
Cheers,
Steve.

I am not rooted, or familiar with that process, I didn't want to brick my phone, what is this SQL work around and does it require being rooted? And what are the dangers involved with rooting? Also, is there a concise guide to rooting a Droid 4 or the SQL workaround that can be linked?
Well if you want to sbf your droid 4 to stock JB rom the file just got posted up today

First off, rooting will void your warranty. As a user in the UK, that warranty was of no use to me anyway, but if you are a Verizon customer, then it's something to be aware of.
If you are happy with that caveat, you should be able to root your phone using the Razr Blade exploit available here... http://vulnfactory.org/public/razr_blade.zip
To get the hotspot working, you need to follow the first two steps here... http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-4-hacks/208266-how-wi-fi-tether-droid-4-a.html (the item number may differ, the important thing to look for is the Entitlement Check entry).
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Steve.

My question I have this new S$ and would like to have it rooted and also restore my app backup from Wondershare which is on my laptop. Is there anyone out there that can assist and certainly I will pay, just want someone reputable. Any thoughts and advice would be much appreciated. Chuck
Hey, sorry, don't know how you can restore it! Although you might get a little more attention if you make a thread for this in the Q&A section. Hope that you get answers! Good luck with phone #2!

For some reason the second thread is missing, I cannot find it anywhere. If you're trying to root the i537, then use the first link. If you're trying to root the i9295 try using this method

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.

Sorry, you should have done your research. The Verizon Note 9 cannot be rooted. Probably will never be able to be. The only way to have a rooted Note 9 on Verizon is to buy the international Snapdragon (9600) and bootloader unlock it to flash firmware that will work. If you do buy a 9600, check the Snapdragon development section.

Please do some research. The N960U/U1 cannot be rooted. There's folks working on it, but there's nothing concrete as yet.currently only the Exynos and N9600 can be rooted

You cannot build roms ir recoveries cause it has anti root protections
