How to root the Samsung Galaxy S6

How to root the Samsung Galaxy S6

blognet   Sunday, April 12, 2015   Comment  

So you just got your brand new Samsung Galaxy S6? Why not root it? Some apps that exist on the Google Play Store still require root privileges given how Android is designed, and as such sometimes it’s necessary to get root on your device in order to run such applications. The package that is used to obtain these escalated permissions comes courtesy of Chainfire which is a small package that is loaded into Odin and sent to your device to obtain root.

Using this root increases your flash counter and does trip the KNOX flag to void the warranty, so use at your own risk.

First, if you haven’t already got the USB PC drivers for your Samsung device, then head to this link to download them.

The package you’ll need to root your device will depend on the country you reside in – the different packages are listed below:

samsung	SM-G920F	zerofltexx	zeroflte			LRX22G.G920FXXU1AOD9			Download	aebe357f959d31e3bdb2265fd467683f
samsung	SM-G920I	zerofltedv	zeroflte			LRX22G.G920IDVU1AOC6			Download	9bced748aab01e7fc5b7712edf9871d4
samsung	SM-G920T	zerofltetmo	zerofltetmo			LRX22G.G920TUVU1AOC9			Download	c2f3d984f7e10545f9dfaa5ed679e0de

Once that’s downloaded, head on to the instructions below to Root your Galaxy S6.

Instructions to Root the Galaxy S6

– Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-….zip file
– If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you’ve extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file – don’t extract that one
– (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
– Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
– Click the PDA button, and select the tar.md5 file
– Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot – if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button).
– (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
– Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
– Click the Start button
– Wait for Android to boot
– Done

You should now see SuperSU installed in your app launcher and able to grant any apps that require root the appropriate permissions. For the root to work, the device must reboot into recovery. Most devices will do this automatically after flashing these files, but in case that does not happen, please boot into recovery manually.

This is a build at a really early stage so take care !

Ok, so the method I propose is absolutely non intrusive. You might want to flash the recoveryyou'll find here-under but I personally haven't done it so feel free to go first  Flashing back the original recovery shouldn't be a big deal anyway.

Prerequisite
You should have installed:

• K910 ADB Driver (available on the CD that appear when you connect the device)
• ADB
• Fastboot

Rooting
So the method is pretty easy:

1. Download the latest SuperSU update.zip and put it at the root of your Internal SD Card
2. (Optional) Download Google Apps for Android 4.2.2 (thanks to TeamAndroid) and put it at the root of your Internal SD Card
3. Download the recovery.img
4. un-7zip it
5. Restart your device in the bootloader:
   
   Code:

   adb reboot-bootloader

6. Boot your phone into the ClockworkMod recovery:
   
   Code:

   fastboot boot cwm_recovery_custom.img

7. Install zip, wipe partition, backup/restore, adb sideload, ...
8. Reboot

The phone is left untouched except for the zip you flashed.

For those who would be stuck on K910_SS_S_2_040_0039_131101, I posted the official update.zip here

What is "Rooting?"

The Android phone that you have learned to love and enjoy is running an operating system that was designed for commercial and private use. Like most any operating system, several features have been disabled, either for future use or to prevent the casual user from causing permanent damage to the operating system. "Rooting" is the process in which the limitations are removed and full-access is allowed. Once rooted, the Android phone owner will have more control over many settings, features and performance of their phone. Basically, "rooting" means to get to the root of the operating system and to have the ability to make global changes.

Advantages-

"Rooting" your Android phone does afford you numerous benefits, including;

1.Running special applications-Superuser is an app that can only be run on a rooted Android phone. This allows you to control which apps have access to the "root" system. Another popular application that "rooting" affords is the ability to tether a computer to your Android phone so that the computer can access theInternet using the phone's data connection. Another program can allow your Android to be used as a WiFi Hotspot without having to pay your provider for the feature.
2.Freeing up memory-When you install an app on your phone, it is stored on the phone's memory. "Rooting" allows you to move installed applications to your SD card, thus freeing up system memory for additional files or apps.
3.Custom ROM's-This is the most powerful feature of "rooted" phones. There are hundreds of custom ROM's that can do anything from speeding up the processing speed of your phone to changing the entire look and feel of your phone.
Disadvantages Of Rooting your phone 
1.Rooting immediately voids your phone's warranty-Once rooted, don't try to bring your phone back for service or warranty work. You are on your own!
2.Rooting involves the risk of "bricking" your phone-In essence, a "bricked" phone is no better than carrying around a brick in your pocket. The phone is dead when it has been "bricked.

Other potential disadvantages, though less severe, are still worthy of consideration;

1.Poor performance-Though the intention of "rooting" a phone is to give the phone more performance, several users have found that, in their attempts to speed up the phone or add additional features, that their phones lost both performance speed and features. Remember that when you "root" your Android phone, you are making changes to the stock operating system.
2.Viruses-Yes, even phones can get viruses. A common practice that people do with "rooted" phones is to flash their ROM's with custom programs. Whenever you make changes to the code of a software, you run the risk of introducing a virus."
So if You are not careful with your phone Don't root it  

Disadvantages-

There are two main disadvantages to rooting and Android phone;

1. Rooting immediately voids your phone's warranty-Once rooted, don't try to bring your phone back for service or warranty work.  You are on your own!
2. Rooting involves the risk of "bricking" your phone-In essence, a "bricked" phone is no better than carrying around a brick in your pocket. The phone is dead when it has been "bricked."

LETS BEGIN!  

Rooting:

• Step 1: Download the Framaroot.apk app to your phone or computer.
• Step 2: Copy Framaroot from your computer to your phone memory.
• Step 3: Install Framaroot from the apk file.
• Step 4: Choose “install Superuser”  option inside Framaraoot.
• Step 5: Select any of the exploits that appears in the app and wait for some time.
• Step 6: If you see a “Success  … Superuser and su binary installed. You have to reboot your device” message then you have successfully rooted your phone .
• Step 7: If you see “Failed … Try another exploit if available”  message then try selecting another exploit .
• Download Root checker to verify if your phone is rooted or not .

Unrooting:

1. Open Framaroot app and Select an action to execute after root as “UNROOT“.
2. Then Select an exploit in the list above to potentially root your Device as “GANDALF” and your phone will be rebooted within a fraction. Also, wait for the “Unroot done” message to confirm your status. You can also download and install Root Checker app for further actions.

After un-rooting, you will get your lost warranty back. You can confirm it by entering into download mode by pressing Vol Down + Power On + Home key simultaneously. Also, be aware that before making any OTA update, you must unroot your phone and revert your lost warranty back. Anyway, I’d always suggest you to go for custom ROMs rather than OTA updates.
