Root t-mobile galaxy s6 failed, please help

Here is what I did to root my t-mobile samsung galaxy s6:
1. Open the developer option -> turn on “OEM unlock”
2. Download Odin on PC at odindownload.com
3. Download the file for my device T-Mobile (SM-G920T) at twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys6.html
4. Run Odin as administrator, click on "AP" to load the download tar file
5. Turn off device
6. Turn on device (lower volume + power + home key), then press turn volume up key to the download mode
7. Connect device to computer
8. Click on “Start” in Odin.
9. Run successfully.
10. Device reboot and got error "Verification failed. Unable to restart your device. The integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings"
11. Restart the device or "wipe cache partition" on the recovery mode, I was able to reboot.
12. Installed "Root checker", it says "sorry root access is not properly installed on this device"
with the error at steps 10 and 12. Can you help me to successfully root my t-mobile galaxy s6?
I notice that on the page twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys6.html, says:
"Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install."
I tried to find the way to boot into TWRP before the first reboot. but I can't figure it out how.
Please help me to root galaxy s6.
Thank you

[GUIDE][ROOT] Unlocking and Improving Your Lenovo ThinkSmart View (CD-18781Y)

Improving Your Lenovo ThinkSmart View (Custom Recovery, Root, Play Store, Custom Webview)​Huge credit to @deadman96385 on how to flash your Lenovo Thinksmart View device and providing access to the firmware files! Credit to @WhyPartyPizza on reddit for the adb enable steps. And also, credit to @Xi07 on providing a way to install TWRP and demonstrating that it is possible to get the Play Store working. And also credit to @garnir4ik on showing us that we can root the device.
The point of this guide is to organize all the information we have on the device and provide a way to make the device more usable (especially since some of the software on the device is outdated).
The guide covers how to:
Install TWRP (optional) and Magisk (recommended) on the device
Install microG and the newest version of the Google Play Store (Magisk required)
Update Webview (needed for Home Assistant)
I'm still trying to figure out how exactly to do certain things on this device so feel free to leave any new information you find!
Installing TWRP (optional) and Magisk (required for Play Store)​Quick Blurb:​To install TWRP, you will need to flash new firmware onto your tablet. However, since there's currently no way to use the device with the bootloader unlocked, a lot of the features used in TWRP are unusable. It might still be good to install TWRP in case someone finds a way to modify the device to better utilize TWRP.​​To install Magisk, it will be much easier to do it by flashing new firmware. However, it is also possible to install Magisk without flashing new firmware. I will include the steps to do this below these.​Steps:​
Download and install the Qualcomm drivers from here
Download and install QPST from here
Download the firmware from this thread (Credit to @deadman96385). I used the 200628.084 version for reference.
Extract the firmware to a folder that you can easily access, like on your desktop.
If you want to install TWRP, download the recovery.img file attached to this post. (Credit to @Xi07)
Open the folder that you extracted the firmware to. In the image folder, replace the recovery.img file with the one you downloaded.
If you want to install Magisk, download the boot.img file attached to this post.
Open the folder that you extracted the firmware to. In the image folder replace the boot.img file with the one you downloaded.
Download the firehose/rawprogram file from @deadman96385's post and flash the package using the instructions provided by @deadman96385. I've included them here for your convenience:
Spoiler: Expand Here
Open the QFIL application (Find it in your start menu)
In the "Select Build Type" field select Flat Build
In the "Select Programmer" field navigate to the folder you extracted the firmware and support files to and select the prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn file
Select the "Load XML" button and navigate to the folder you extracted the firmware and support files to and select the rawprogram_unsparse.xml and then the patch0.xml when prompted.
Remove the cover on the USB-C port on the bottom right of your device
Plug the USB-C cable into your computer
Unplug the power from the device
Hold vol+ and Vol- and then plug the power into your device (Smart Plugs can make this easier)
If the text at the top of the QFIL application mentions qdloader move on to next step. If it says "No Port Available" click the "Select Port..." option and pick your device. If your device isn't showing up there you most likely didn't install the drivers properly.
Click the Download Button to begin flashing your device
Once complete it should automatically reboot but sometimes it doesn't so you need to replug your device.
If you get the dreaded "Sahara" error when flashing your device, you may be waiting too long to flash. The device must be flashed moments after it is booted into EDL mode (powering on with Vol + and Vol - held down). Once you plug in your device, hit download the moment the port is recognized at the top of QFIL.
You can also try disabling driver signing (I'm not sure if this makes a difference). To do so:
Spoiler: Expand Here
Open a command prompt as an Administrator.
Run
Code:
bcdedit /set testsigning on
and restart your device
Your computer should say it's in Test Mode (bottom right corner). To disable driver signing, follow the same steps but run
Code:
bcdedit /set testsigning off
instead.
Thanks to HowToGeek's article for the information.
From here, you can go ahead and follow the original method from @deadman96385 for breaking into the device.
Spoiler: Expand Here
When it boots up select Teams (Others seems to try and network boot/download files and fails)
Go through the setup wizard until you get to the Microsoft Teams (Language > Wifi > Bluetooth > Teams)
Select the Gear Icon in the top right of the teams page
Select the "About" settings option
Tap on "CD-18781Y.200628.084" under firmware version a bunch of times rapidly until a prompt comes up saying developer unlocked.
If your usb c cable is plugged, in unplug and replug it in.
You will now have ADB access.
Download your desired Launcher and use the following command to install it:
Code:
adb install APK_FILE_NAME.apk
You will then need to send this adb command to select a new default launcher:
Code:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.HOME
I would recommend getting a navigation bar app. I've attached the one I used to this post.
You can also technically install Magisk without reflashing your device.
Spoiler: Expand Here
Install the Magisk app (use the Magisk APK)
Enable OEM unlocking in Developer Settings
Unplug the device. Hold Vol- and plug in the device to boot into fastboot mode.
In command prompt, execute
Code:
fastboot devices
to make sure the device is discovered. If a device is not listed, you may need to go into Device Manager > Other Devices > Android device with question mark. Right click > Update Drivers > Browse My Local Drivers > Let me pick from a list > Change to Fastboot Drivers.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
This will unlock your bootloader.
Unplug the device. Hold Vol- and plug in the device to boot into fastboot mode.
In command prompt, navgiate to the directory where your Magisk boot.img is downloaded. Run
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After the boot.img is flashed, you need to lock your bootloader to be able to boot back into the device. If you're not in fastboot mode, you can once again unplug the device. Hold Vol- and plug in the device to boot into fastboot mode.
Run either of the 2 commands to lock the bootloader. You can restart the device and boot into the device once you are finished.
Code:
fastboot oem lockfastboot flashing lock
Steps for Google Play Store and Custom Webview will be in the next post (to reduce clutter).

Installing MicroG and the Newest Version of the Google Play Store (Magisk Required)​
Download and install the MicroG Services Core and Services Framework Proxy from the MicroG site.
Install the Magisk app (use the Magisk APK). When you open the app, it should say the version of Magisk installed next to "Installed."
On your Android Device go to Settings > Connected Devices > USB > File Transferring Mode.
Download the NanoDroid-patcher.zip file, BusyBox.zip, and terminal_systemizer.zip. Do not unzip these files. Drag and drop these devices onto your Android device.
In Magisk > Modules > Install from storage, find the .zip files and install all 3 Modules. The NanoDroid-patcher module in particular may take awhile so be patient.
Install the apk of Google Play Store of your choice.
Install Termux. In Termux, issue the command
Code:
su
A superuser popup should show up. Make sure to allow Termux Superuser access. If you miss clicking on it, you can allow access in the Magisk App > Superuser.
Code:
systemize
Follow the dialog prompts to systemize Google Play Store to /system/priv-app
Restart the device.
Open the microG settings app. Register the device in Google device registration. In Self-Check, click on each setting (the words, not the checkboxes) and enable them all. Pay particular attention to System spoofs signature being checked off.
Restart the device again if you want. Google Play Store should be working fine now (may need to clear it's App Data first if it's not working).
Installing Custom Webview (Magisk Required)​Some apps such as HomeAssistant won't function without an up to date System Webview. As this tablet is running a quite old version Webview version, this causes these apps to not work. Luckily, there's a Magisk Module to fix that.
Download the Webview_Manager zip file and drag and drop it onto your device. Install it using Magisk. You will need to watch it install as it requires some input on which Webviews you want to install.
After restarting the device, navigate into Settings > System > Developer options > Webview implementation. You should now be able to change your Webview to a updated version.
Note, you may need to unplug and replug in the device after the first restart of installing Webview.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A slightly easier way that may work I haven't validated on the thinksmart specifically is using qfil's partition manager tool. It allows you to dump, erase, flash individual partitions, that way you can flash just the one you want without having to deal with a full qfil flash. Finish all original steps up to 10. Instead of clicking download do the following instead:
Navigate to the top menu: Tools -> Partition Manager -> OK. If all goes well, you will be greeted with a dialog listing all partitions in ~5s. If this is not the case even after a full minute, try re-entering EDL/9008 mode.
Once the partition list is loaded, you can perform the following actions on partitions by right clicking a partition and then clicking 'Manage Partition Data'.
'Erase' (Clear the partition)
'Read Data...' (Dump the partition)
'Load Image...' (Flash the partition)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is also a great way of backing up partitions from your device. The dumped partition can be found in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Qualcomm\QFIL\COMPORT_##. Note that the name of the file is the raw file locations so you will need to rename the imgs as you go.
