Not if you're a developer. For example, in my app, I need to turn on hotspot programmatically, but since srtWifiEnabled method is private, even with reflection, it need privileged permissions, i.e., root. Even Tasker fails to toggle hotspot due to this. Only root can fix this.

I was fine with the 80 percent, with all the tweaks and bloatware you can remove it's pretty good with just 80 percent. i mean it's basically at 100 but says it's 80. BTW google pixel is done lolol they don't even have a headphone jack.
Everyone said the Note8 wouldn't be rooted and that happened rather quickly. I wouldn't hold my breath, but it's possible.

Is it possible to develop a version of CyanogenMod (either 9.1 or 10) for those of us who have locked bootloaders?
I have been watching the Xperia S and other Xperia phones forums and there are some threads about MIUI and CyanogenMod for locked bootloaders. It seems these versions work by removing the kernel so we the stock one is kept on the phone.
Anyone with a bit of knowledge who cares to explain? Feel free to chime in :fingers-crossed:

Mobile division is fairly separate from the PS3 division. After all, it was a joint venture between Sony and Ericsson until not too long ago.
Most if not all of the software/bootloader engineering is still done by teams in Sweden as far as I can tell.
An exploit might be found, but it is NOT going to be remotely as easy as the Verizon Samsungs. Both of those required either leaks from disgruntled employees or security design mistakes (or possibly sabotage) in the device.
One of the key things that led to the GN2 compromise was the fact that only one GN2 variant had a secure boot chain.
ALL Xperia Ts have a secure boot chain - the only thing that differs in unlockability is what serial numbers are whitelisted on Sony's servers that provide unlock codes.
According to my search on this forum, it's been at least two months since root of Galaxy S6 Active was mentioned last, so I thought I'll try again...
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to root the phone now? I tried KingoRoot, Towel Root, PingPong, King and nothing worked...
Would the phone get bricked if I try the rooting via Odin using the files for the regular S6 (G920)?
Is it possible to just flash CyanogenMod and thus get both the rom and root that way?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Subbed, I would also like to know

Far as I know, there has been no news regarding root for S6 Active.
There is a group of people trying to put together a bounty for a S6 Active root, but the problem is nobody is really sure how to properly setup the bounty

Yet another thing that confuses me....why is the edge and active so different from the normal 6. Why would there be any reason for the internals to be changed besides maybe moving some stuff around so it fits right. I am so happy I decided not to get the active even though I learned today that it has 1000 more mAh than the normal/edge which if I would've known that at purchase I would of gotten it... I feel your pain guys. It is even worse that it is an ATT Active of all things, :/
Agree! Android really is different without root.
I have had my G890A (S6 Active) for just over a month.
This is the longest I've ever had a non-rooted Android phone since my first HTC many years back. It's frustrating!
The phone's nice. It's got the bigger battery, a bit tougher, and not too large (but I *am* tired of "demo'ing" the phone-in-a -glass-of-water trick for friends already .
I like the promise of durability, but chaff at lack of root, and the personal tweaks that I took for granted on my S4, my S2 and other rooted android phones. . .

Well I think one of the question is whether it is actually any different from the normal 6 from the root perspective? Has anyone tried to use 6 firmware on it?

I'm in the same boat. I got a good deal on Swappa for this phone and love the hardware. I'd love root to remove bloatware, install xposed modules and remove ads. This phone has huge potential but falls short.

Ram and emmc chips are one thing... The panel of s8 would require a whole new redo of kernel with drivers to support it. Not only that they don't match hardware and ribbon cable wise. Not only that Nexus 6 is very close to end of life so doubt anyone would even do it even if it were possible.

You know, of course, that "Senior Member" is a meaningless title since you only have to post 100 comments to "earn" it In any case, many people don't understand how the hardware works, they only barely know how to unlock the bootloader on a Nexus and flash TWRP and a custom ROM. By the time one would be done doing all the hardware and software modding he'd need to fit a Galaxy S8 screen on the Nexus it'd be more worthwhile to just get the S8

Let's put it this way: it'd actually be easier to get a Galaxy S8, learn from scratch (as in with zero coding experience) how to break Samsung’s Knox and related security features, forcibly bypass any bootloader locks present and port a custom recovery like TWRP than it would be to make a S8 display work on a Nexus 6
But it still comes in black right?

Hahaha......Okay okay......*face palm* I had a feeling this is the response I would get. Honestly, I have been a member of XDA for years. And as one of you already pointed out, I'm one of those "senior members" that has learned how to root, install a custom recovery and a few other things. I posted this, because I really have no idea how some hardware works on phones compared to computers. I have worked on laptops and desktops for years, and some of the hardware in laptops is interchangeable, and others, is not. But hey, at least I made a few of you laugh, right ?

Samsung likes to release so many variants of one device that even swapping a screen from one model(TMO) to a model(VRZ) may have a ribbon issue. I have always been partial to the _Samsung Round_ screen but, i am not THAT partial. I have gotten mics.,loud and ear speakers to "line up" and "fit" as a way of replacement or out of pure curiosity.

It wouldn't take only 2 days. Bruteforcing bootloader is not a router. Router can be bruteforced in seconds. In order to bruteforce a bootloader you have to create way too many tools and attack it by exploiting it.
Bootloader id is a combination of 3 serials x 16.

It's is not like Xiaomi redmi note 5 where the Note series have a huge fanbase even that phone is not perfect image retention ghosting etc.
This phones are expensive, and less ppl buy this.
Oneplus 6 development is also not so fast compared to the early days.
The notch have change things even on the Oneplus 6 custom roms based on lineage or aosp are not compatible with the notch so practical useless.
