Update (24 May 2016): There have been more than a few updates for Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, including our favorite, Marshmallow, and thus root methods have come and gone and gone by too. So, we are cleaning up this post to provide you a neat and clean guide on Edge Plus root, with a confirmed working root trick. If even this method doesn’t work, sure let us know via comments below.
Update (10 October 2015): Sprint Galaxy S6 Edge Plus root added. Original article continues: If you own the big brother of S6 Edge, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ then there is some news to cheer you up. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ root is now available, for most of the models. Earlier, Galaxy Note 5 root was also made available today.
As CF Auto Root no longer works on Samsung devices on Android 5.1.1 update, one has to wait patiently for a custom kernel to be developed and shared, one that is permissive type to allow root access.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ Root
Let’s discuss the root status of all major Galaxy S6 Edge+ variants here.
Update (March 6, 2016): Full root solution now available for the AT&T S6 edge Plus whose users have been craving for superuser root access since day one. Today’s is your lucky day AT&T S6 Edge Plus users!
Update (September 6, 2015): Thanks to awesome developer g.lewarne, stock Auto root kernel is now available for the S6 Edge+.
Right now, around 8 models are supported, which includes 3 international and 3 Korean models, T-Mobile and Canadian model.
While, root isn’t available for S6 Edge+ at AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and US Cellular.
International Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928C, G928F and G928i)
Available.
Korean Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928K, G928S and G928L)
Available.
T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928T)
Available.
Canadian Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928W8)
Available.
Sprint Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928P)
Available.
US Cellular Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928R4)
Not available. Until a custom kernel supporting root access comes out, wait would continue.
Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928V)
Not available. Root would not be available anytime soon probably, because Verizon locks down the bootloader of the device.
AT&T Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928A)
Available. Have fun!
Downloads
Download stock Auto Root kernel for your device’s model no. from below, and then follow the guide to install it on your device.
- TWRP recovery — Link
- SuperSU kernel — Link
- Odin PC software — Link | File: Odin-3-10-7.zip (1.03 MB)
Supported devices
- SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 Edge+, all those variants whose codename is zenlte
- Don’t try this on other Samsung device than S6 Edge+, like S6 Edge or regular S6
- Don’t try on any other device whatsoever!
Important: Check your device’s codename on its packaging box, or in Settings > About device.
Warning!
Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page. You only are responsible for your device. We won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components. Also, this trips KNOX, meaning KNOX would stop working on your device, and thus you won’t be able to Samsung Pay, or install enterprise Apps on your device at Office.
Backup!
Backup important file stored on your device before proceeding with the steps below, so that in case something goes wrong you’ll have backup of all your important files. Sometimes, Odin installation may delete everything on your device!
How to Root
Step 1. Download Odin, TWRP and SuperSU file from above.
→ Copy the SuperSU file to your device.
Step 2. Install Galaxy S6 Edge+ driver (method 1 there!) first of all. Double click the .exe file of drivers to begin installation. (Not required if you have already done this.)
Step 3. Extract the Odin file. You should get this file, Odin3 v3.10.7.exe (other files could be hidden, hence not visible).
Step 4. Disconnect your Galaxy S6 Edge+ from PC if it is connected.
- Go to Settings > About device. And then tap on build no. 7 times or until your get the message ‘You’re now a developer’.
- Go back to Settings, scroll down, and tap on ‘Developer options’.
- Look for ‘Enable OEM unlock’ and use its toggle to enable it. Accept the warning by tapping on OK button.
— Also make sure you have disabled the Find My Mobile option completely in Settings > Lockscreen and security settings.
- Power off your Galaxy S6 Edge+. Wait 6-7 seconds after screen goes off.
- Press and hold the three buttons Power + Home + Volume down together until you see warning screen.
- Press Volume Up to continue to download mode.
Step 8. Connect your Galaxy S6 Edge+ to PC now using USB cable. Odin should recognize your Galaxy S6 Edge+. It’s a must. When it recognizes, you will see Added!! message appearing in the Log box in bottom left, and the first box under ID:COM will also show a no. and turn its background blue. Look at the pic below.
- You cannot proceed until you get the Added!! message, which confirms that Odin has recognized your device.
- If you don’t get Added!! message, you need to install/re-install drivers again, and use the original cable that came with the device. Mostly, drivers are the problem (look at step 2 above).
- You can try different USB ports on your PC too, btw.
Step 9. Load the TWRP file into Odin. For this, click the AP button on Odin and the select the TWRP file in .tar format.
- If Odin gets stuck at setup connection, then you need to do this all again. Disconnect your device, close Odin, boot device into download mode again, open Odin, and then select the firmware and flash it again as said above.
- If you get FAIL in the top left box, then also you need to flash the firmware again as stated just above.
Next, do the Swipe action at bottom to confirm installing the SuperSU file.
Once done, tap on Reboot System button to reboot the Edge Plus.
That’s it. Enjoy the Root access on your Galaxy S6 Edge+!

in other samsung devices (Note 4, S4 or S5), it’s almost the same. (But can be changed who knows..)
Anyone has a tip please? Don’t want brick my device 🙂
Thanks alot
Well, it could but no guarantee. Moreover, a firmware for your device G928M isn’t available either, so you won’t a firmware to flash if anything goes wrong. Do you know whether G928F firmware flashes fine on your device?

The SM-9287 ( HongKong) Root yet?
Thanks.
None yet. Although you can try the one for G920F. in case it doesn’t work out, simply flash the current build no. firmware back and you will be good. Risk is yours.
Thank Krishna, I hope G9287 will root ….
samsung without root, like a chaotic things tidy
We will let you know once root is available for G92587.

I flashed the auto root for my edge plus on tmobile, us, now im stuck on a bootloop. I followed everything step by step, this isnt my first time rooting…ive been doing this for years, i just dont know what happened. PLEASE provide a fix, or just some advice. IM FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW!!!
That’s strange… I will look into it and get you out of it. First, tell me your phone current build no.
Hey, have you recovered your device? It was my bad asking you for build no. when actually your device was into bootloop.
Btw, you sure your device is T-Mobile’s variant, with model no. SM-G928T? Model no. is crucial here.
Do let me know.
You can flash a firmware to recovery your device. Let me know if you need help with this.
my phone is also on a bootloop
and it froze on the tmoble loadup screen plz help
Hi, I have then same problem, My device is into bootloop.
What’s your device model no.? is it still in bootloop? Don’t worry, it’s easily fixable.
my device is stuck on bootloop too. mines is tmobile. i even cleared cache and nothing. problem is that everytime my phone connects to tmobiles network it reboots. but if i turn on air plane mode and turn wifi on the phone works perfect. then when i take it off air plane mode once tmobiles network shows up the phone reboots
I need help Immediately! I followed your steps and now my phone is brick. I have the G928T and this is not a very helpful root. I want the stock TAR for my device so i can unroot it!

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + phone on Craigslist. The device has been reset and is asking for Google Account information that was originally used to setup the phone. The seller never provided my that info and is not responding to my calls and is not traceable. Hence, I can’t access any menu on phone and can;t change any settings. Can I still install Stock Auto-root kernel and root phone to replace Samsung ROM by Custom ROM? Thanks for your help.

I’ve got Canadian SM-G928W8. Says the root is available but the download is for G920W8???? and when you actually go into the link says 928-T-ODIN.tar not the W? is this the correct file for G928W8
The model no. is typo, don’t worry, link is correct and would root your device for sure.
Root file is same for G928T and G928W8.
I will correct it soon.
Awesome,thank you very much.

Used this method on my 928F and all worked fine. After first boot I noticed that it takes a really long time (1 min) to start wifi, and every time i shut it off, it wipes stored passwords. Anyone else noticed this, and is there a fix?

how can u get rid of the reboot loop
You will have to flash the firmware using Odin.

successfully rooted my 928F model but wifi connections don’t “stick” and I have to re-enter ssid passwords after every reboot 🙁
ok, the fix is to set edit your build. set “ro.securestorage.support” to false – setting it to true stops your device storing wifi passwords
I mean build.prop
How do we dose this sir?
Doze mode is available only on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Not available on 5.1.1.
how do I do it?
my model number is SM-G928F which i know you guys have an root for, but i live in Norway. will it still work?
Your physical location won’t affect the rooting process.
Skjønner du hvordan man gjør det? Har akkurat samme telefon, men min begynte å skru seg av hver gang jeg koblet til wifi eller 4g…

Well, I looked again for G928G but couldn’t find any file particularly for it. But because it’s International model like 928i and 928f, you can try the one for 928i — btw, it’s the same file for all International devices.
In case it doesn’t work, and phone stops booting up, flashing a firmware will easily bring it back to normal. So, no risk.
