I saw a thread on rooting it while still on Lollipop, but mine is already Nougat 7.0.
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/galaxy-s6-active/samsung-s6-active-sm-g890-root-t3430123)
Would this brick my device, or do I have some root avenue?

I have a Verizon Galaxy S6 edge that mistakenly underwent a hard factory reset. I want to achieve root to recover the files on the phone: pics that had not been backed up, wassapp, etc. Now I find that the phone cannot be rooted at the present time because PingPong Root does not root the updated baseband on my phone. Even if I upgraded to 5.1.1, I understand there is currently no root for the Verizon G925V 5.1.1.
I am looking for information on what could work to recover the data from an unrooted Verizon GS6 Edge? :crying:
Model: Sm-G925V
Android 5.0.2
Baseband G925VVru2aof1
Kernel Version 3.10.61

Hello ,
i bought samsung galaxy s5 at&t model a few days ago and i want to root it and flash new cm13 , boot i cant find anywhere how it can be rooted. its on 5.1.1 firmware. i was thinking , is it possible to downgrade kernel with odin and then root with towelroot ? i am just afraid of bricking my phone.
No, it's not possible to root this phone on Kitkat.
I'm currently on OJ3 (5.1.1) version on my Galaxy S5 Active and looking to root in order to get wifi tethering. Do I have to downgrade to NE4 first and then re-update to android 5.0 ? Any help appreciated, thanks.
I just wanted to know if there is a root or downgrade for this device running on 7.0 nougat. The last root I did for this device was the pingpong root awhile back, just wondering if there has been a breakthrough since then.
So I did some research if there was any way to root Samsung Galaxy s5 (5.1.1) (SM-G900A). People were saying you can't downgrade because of a locked bootloader or something. But I found one firmware that was meant for tests that brings you back to 4.4+(Can't remember exactly, but it was 4.4). Is there a way to go to this tested firmware and go back to a firmware that could be rooted?
