Is this full root and will it work for s8 plus

it will work on the S8 plus but it's like the S7 root in the sense that it's permissive and has a locked bootloader still. So no custom recovery or rom.

My only problem with this root method is that your battery only reads 80%. Whether your battery is only actually charging to 80% or it's just reading that way has not been discovered yet.. I'm going to wait until a solution is discovered before I root this phone. My last 5 phones were rooted within hours of buying them. I miss it.

Is there someone trying to root SM-G920V 5.0.2 G920VVRU2AOF1 ?!

I was searching through diferent threats like http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-root-tool-t3103016/post62164597#post62164597 , all informations says that pingpong root will never work on SM-G920V 5.0.2 G920VVRU2AOF1 or Lolipop 5.1.1 and no one should wait for a PingPong update cause PinPong will never be able to root them, can anybody tell me if some one is trying any other exploit about this built's ?!?!

You can root with CF auto root. This will trip Knox flag (don't know if you care).

As you told me about this method CT Auto Root ( I never heard before) , i was searching online for it and I found the website https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ , i dont know how Knox Flag will effect my Galaxy S6 , but presuming that's not a big deal , the CF Auto Root website doesn't show anything about SM-G920V , or maybe they haven't update all supported models !
Anyway thanks for replying !

auto root does NOT work on verizon or ATT variants since we have locked BL's

@1663 Tripping knox will void your warranty (unless you are in the EU it's debatable). Secondly you won't be able to use Samsung Pay.
I could care less about Samsung Pay. Wherever they accept SP they will accept Google Wallet, for the most part. I just bought mine brand new and it came with this build. I'm really regretting this device. I hope someone roots it, but it may be quite a while.

you guys dont understand lol.. vzw s6/s6e CANNOT trip knox to root the device.. it will fail EVERY time unless someone found a way to unlock the BL and didnt share with anyone.. he is stuck until a new root exploit comes out that doesnt involve custom kernels/unlocked BLs since its not possible on vzw

I was giving general information about what tripping knox does.
I could not wait for someone to root the newest version of lollipop for Verizon, just purchased a rooted phone from Swappa.com and sold my S6. That is a faster way, IMO, Instead of waiting for someone to root OF1.

gs4 had a root method/loki on mdk bootloader and earlier..
vzw gs5 was towelroot with safestrap..
i had both and previous galaxy phones..
the vzw gs4 was the last phone i was able to use custom kernels on.. gs5 however didnt have a tripped knox as towelroot was used and the BL was locked as it is now as well.

You keep posting over here in the Note5 forums, why don't you head over there and wait for root/TWRP/etc? You should probably avoid flashing any of these things on your Edge+, but you do what you want.

No one there has even started a thread
related to a compatible twrp or root for
the G928T phone.
Since the Note 5 and the S6 Edge+ have
almost identical specs and hardware I am
hoping that perhaps twrp and root might
be similar enough to be interchangeable.

Patience is a virtue TWRP might work, but I'm sure there are kernel differences between the 2 and you might have issues if you flash that kernel to get root. Better to wait it out and keep the thread on topic about the Note5.

I would say if your worried about Samsung pay not working, maybe wait until Samsung pay actually comes out and see if some other brave tries this and then tries using Samsung pay to see if it works. No need to get your panties in a bunch before we even know for sure.
I'm not concerned about something I won't use. I have root so I'm happy. Bring on the roms. Don't harass the devs to make a special Samsung Pay root either lol. Not happening.

Charlieb620, you have root, but does your fingerprint reader still work? Also, if you could, link the 2 threads you followed for rooting. I know of the TWRP thread, but the root method thread...?

Verizon 5.1.1 Root??

Sorry, but I have searched, and can't find a direct answer, is 5.1.1 rooted for Verizon?
Where can I find the guide if it is.
Currently I am rooted on 5.02, have been delaying any OTA since purchase, rooted using Ping Pong
Thanks in advance
Anxiously awaiting this myself...I do know that Verizon locked the bootloader on or before 5.1.1 and as far as I know there is no root...yet.
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
It does not exist. Not even the top rom makers and programers have been able to do it. The 5.1.1 update will also make it so you can't go backwards to 5.0.2. This is the first time since I've owned cell phones that I've seen a company finally beat the cell phone gurus but they finally did it on this one. However if you are not on Verizon or AT&T you can still do it through ODIN.
So if you have a phone pre 5.1.1 that rootable and root it...will you be able to flash 5.1.1?

s4 beat the cell phone gurus... Technically... MDK was unlocked, nothing after that was.
s5 has also never had a bootloader unlock..

S5 bootloader has been unlocked.
The video of proof is on YouTube.
It has not been released but I'm sure it will soon. Once that is released it should open things up for the S6.

It will not be released ever. That has been said a few times. It uses(from what I have heard) a Zero Day exploit, meaning it's very damn complicated, and it has a high chance of bricking people's phones. That was never meant to go to the general public. It was aimed at other devs. It's a proof of concept, meaning it CAN be unlocked, just not through that way.

0 day exploits are OS vulnerabilities that the manufacturer themselves aren't aware of. It doesn't necessarily mean that exploit itself has a high chance of bricking the phone.
Not releasing the method could be any number if things. These reasons could range from stolen proprietary source code being used to the exploit's author deciding that he doesn't feel like sharing the method.
I heard that the team that found the method said that they would NOT release it at the moment but that in the future it will be available.

I know that it may not have a high chance of bricking the device, but with the device, I assume it is thanks to shenanigans with Verizon and Knox. I have already discussed legal issues briefly in the s4 bootloader thread... Damn Money Sucking Lawyers. It is what it is. I think it has given some people hope because there IS A WAY... Just maybe not that way.
Maybe hope yet just pay this on google plus not sure if our verizon variant will benefit from this method so correct me if I am wrong but take a look any how.

What phone currently available for Verizon network IS rootable?
Any of the Note variants?
Any Nexus model?
I don't mean it has to be purchased at Verizon just capable of running on the network.

The title and OP in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/root-list-root-apps-t3106204 - reads as if rooting the phone is possible.
That said it doesn't detail how to root and none of the other threads seem to indicate it either. Last I checked rooting the S6 was not readily possible, especially if you care about not tripping Knox.

Yes, firmware versions OE2 and below can be rooted. The OP is talking about version G920VVRU4BOK7 which cannot be rooted. There is currently no rooting method available whether it trips KNOX or not.

Verizon S6 6.0.1 Waiting for Root....

I come here everyday hoping to one day see a root thread... Do you ever think we will get one?..
I do too but I don't think we will have root. I've already been starting to look for a replacement but haven't found anything out there that's any better and has root. I'll just stick with root on 5.0.2 for now.
I gave up on this already lol. Luckily for me all I needed root for was mobile hotspot. FoxFi took care of that :good:
I gave up root a while back for marshmallow it's pointless on this phone no xposed no TWRP the 6.0 keyboard is worth it alone
The only chance is if an unencrypted bootloader is leaked like with the s3

I do too but I don't think we will have root. I've already been starting to look for a replacement but haven't found anything out there that's any better and has root. I'll just stick with root on 5.0.2 for now.[/QUOTE
Well the all s7's have root now, as of yesterday. Still no bootloader unlock, but hopefully in time. Got xposed working as well.

Hopefully we won't be left out in the cold with the Verizon S6..... Waiting patiently
I was about to give up on a possible root for Marshmellow and update to the latest OTA until I read about the S7 root. Eagerly waiting for good news for the S6.
how the heck has the s7 been rooted, but the s6 is still in the dark... This is my first smart phone without root / custom ROMs in almost 10 years and I HATE IT !
They have a rooted boot image those bastards lol
I hate Verizon. If it wasn't for their impeccable service in my area of NY, I would leave. I hate not having root and having all this junk on my phone.
The s7 is Qualcomm. Our s6 is a Samsung made SOC. Their method will not work for us anyway. Plus, it is not even a method, it is a leaked, rooted image.
Those on Verizon S6 will not see root for possibly ever seeming no devs care for this phone anymore. Really, no devs did when it did have root lol
A root would be really nice for 6.0.1. Certainly waiting but not optimistic.
Definitely no way back after updating right?
after getting Samsung pay to work. I can live without root.

Technically I think root could be possible with the dirty cow method. But would take developers like jcase or beansup to provide a safe method of doing so, due to the exploit being how it is.
