[up] Update 3: OH6 Update
If you’re looking for root on the latest OH6 update, the UniKernel v8-0002 is reported to be working. We don’t know about the Aou kernel linked below though, chances are good for it to work as well, you may try. Below is download link for UniKernel if you need, along with installation instructions:

[icon name=”hand-o-right” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]  Installation instructions (KNOX counter will be tripped) [/up]

[up] Update 2: Replaced UniKernel with Aou kernel by Aou, which seems to have fixed the in-call sound and battery life (deep sleep) issues. Thanks D Dougherty for the info. [/up]

[up] Update: Looks like the custom sboot.bin isn’t playing very well, causing issues with Calls and Fingerprint sensor. Take a look at the comments section below for details. [/up]

Oh, yeah! Gotta say that the 3rd party Android development community is pretty awesome. So what if Ping Pong Root was patched, folks over at XDA have now come up with a new method to root the T-Mobile Galaxy S6 that doesn’t trips the KNOX counter.

Exactly, boy! You read it right, developers did something with the sboot on T-Mobile S6, such that flashing a custom kernel to it afterwards doesn’t trips the KNOX counter. Pretty amazing. Let’s just cut talk and get straight to the process for ya all waiting for this day to come.

Downloads

[icon name=”download” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Download Odin 3.10.6

T-Mobile S6 G920T files:

T-Mobile S6 edge G925T files:

Instructions

NOTE: Make sure you follow the exact process as detailed in the guide below, or else you’ll trip the knox counter.

  1. Download Odin 3.10.6, Aou kernel, TWRP recovery and SuperSU v2.49 from the downloads section above. And transfer the SuperSU .zip to your phone’s storage while keeping other files on your PC.
  2. Download the sboot.bin for your T-Mobile S6 (G920T) OR S6 edge (G925T).
    └ Be very cautious. Download sboot.bin file meant for your model number only.
  3. Open Odin 3.10.6 on your PC.
  4. Boot your T-Mobile S6 into Download mode:
    1. Switch off your phone.
    2. Press and hold “Home + Power + Volume down” buttons for a few seconds until you see a warning screen.
    3. Press Volume Up on the warning screen to accept it and boot into Download mode.
  5. Once your T-Mobile S6 is in download mode, connect it to the PC with a USB cable. The Odin window on PC should detect the phone and show an “Added!!” message.
  6. Now click on the BL button on Odin window and select the sboot.bin file that you downloaded above (specific for your device model number).
    └ Note: DON’T play with any other options on the screen. You’re only required to connect your Galaxy S6 and select the SBOOT file in BL tab.
  7. Click the Start button on Odin and wait for it to finish the process. Once it has finished successfully, you’ll see a pass message on the Odin screen and your device will automatically reboot. You can close Odin now.
  8. Once phone is booted. Power off and boot into download mode once again.
  9. Open Odin 3.10.6 again. And this time click on the AP button and select the Aou kernel .tar file that you downloaded above specific for your device.
    └ Note: (again) DON’T play with any other options on the screen.
  10. Click the Start button on Odin. Your device automatically reboot once Odin is done with its process. Close Odin.
  11. Now once again, reboot your your device into Download mode and flash the TWRP recovery .tar similarly like you flashed the kernel in Step 9 above.
  12. Now boot into TWRP Recovery:
    1. Switch off your phone.
    2. Press and hold “Home + Power + Volume Up” buttons for a few seconds and soon as you see Galaxy S6 logo on screen, release the buttons. You’ll boot into TWRP recovery.
  13. Once in TWRP recovery, flash the SuperSU .zip file that we transferred to your phone in Step 1.
    └ In case you aren’t able to flash SuperSU via TWRP, then just grab it from Play Store (link), it might work.
  14. Reboot your phone.

That’s it. Look for SuperSU app when your phone boots. And to verify KNOX status, boot back into download mode and check info in upper left part of the screen. It should look like “KNOX WARRANTY: 0 (0X0000)”

Cheers!

    Worked…although KNOX Warranty says: 1 (0x0000) still getting the Security Notification. I just need to determine how to disable this notification and I think it would be okay.

    Update: Downloaded Package Disabler and disabled SecurityLogAgent (com.samsung.android.securitylogagent) and this stopped the security notifications. All appears to be good to go.

    Once again, had to reflash stock 5.1.1. Something…disables making calls with this method. I tried again without disabling any notifications and zero phone at the point of this root method. Thoughts anyone?

    T-Mobile G920T 5.1.1…The Sboot engineering reset KNOX (0x0000) but when KNOX was tripped in the first root method earlier on in these posts (e.g. using just the Unikernel) the phone kept record of that first KNOX trip, so it looks like this: KNOX WARRANTY: 1 (0x0000). Most likely why I kept getting the Security Notification. This most resent method using the Sboot broke in call sound and from what I read, also breaks the fingerprint scanner and possibly other features. I am back on stock 5.1.1 unrooted and KNOX still shows a 1 w/ (0x0000). The xda thread is all over the place so I’ll just keep reporting findings here. One step forward two steps back lol.

    Ok so i tried this root method and I’m noticing a few things: 1. When I restart it automatically goes to custom recovery, 2. I think KNOX was tripped because my smart manager keeps saying “security threat detected”, 3. SuperSU keeps flashing something at the bottom of my screen saying something granted permissions.

    Is anyone else having these problems??

    1. Androiding Staff Avatar
      Androiding Staff

      No, KNOX shouldn’t trip. The Smart Manager app gives that notification because it knows that the system has been tampered with. It’s okay. If you want to get rid of it, follow D Daugherty’s advice; Download and install “Package Disabler” from Play Store and disable the “SecurityLogAgent” (com.samsung.android.securitylogagent)” app.

    @Justin …SU grants permissions to com.tmobile.pr.adapt which is thought to be T-Mobile’s diagnostic stuff in the My T-Mobile App. As stated above, you can disable that security warning but I too also found something is sucking the battery even after disabling “SecurityLogAgent” (com.samsung.android.securitylogagent). The com.tmobile.pr.adapt may be the battery culprit. I denied it permissions and then re-granted superuser because I thought that was what was causing call sound to not work. That said, I am fairly certain this had nothing to do with the no call sound when I had it disabled however, I did not have it in the denied status long enough to determine if this is what is causing the massive battery drain.

    Try denying permissions for a spell…see if your battery lasts. I hadn’t had permissions denied for long enough to determine if it was indeed the culprit or not. Maybe download a battery app to see if it gives you any more detail on the process that is draining it, if not com.tmobile.pr.adapt that is.

  22. Guest Avatar
    Guest

    You may want to add com.tmobile.pr.adapt to the other one you disable in Package Disabler, I think you get 5 free disables with the unpaid version. Even though the permissions are denied, doesn’t mean it won’t still try to run…all of this on the theory that this is the battery culprit of course.

    How can I undo this?

    I tried it before upgrading to 5.1.1, and now I’m stuck in the boot loop.

    Heeeeeeeeeeeelp…. 🙂

      Can you boot into recovery and if so have you tried doing a factory reset? To boot into recovery: press and hold vol down, home key, and pwr key hold till you see something and if i remeber correctly youvcan let go of keys and follow the on screen optins for a factory reset!

      I solved the problem, which was basically that the sboot.bin linked here wouldn’t boot the older 5.0.2 OS, or go into recovery – just download mode. I couldn’t flash a newer OS because Odin failed after trying to write the stock sboot.bin. What I did was extract the stock COF6 rom, and re-tar it without the included sboot.bin, flash it, and that worked. Now I’m at COF8 via OTA update, and am going to try to root again… Wish me luck!

      You should be able to still put your phone into download mode.(or at least i have yet to screw up a galaxy that bad. Ive even pulled cord during a flash and still was able to) You just need to find your stock rom and flash it with odin…… make sure the rom is for your carrier!

    Hi all!

    Any updates about getting the fingerprint scanner to work? Not that it is the most important thing, but it sure made/makes it easy to log in! 😀

    I just tried it, completely screwed me over lols. The fingerprint didn’t work, but I was able to switch to a PIN entry……. I locked my screen and woke up to it saying invalid PIN. Entered the PIN over and over again and it didn’t even try to refer me to the Google Email login/recovery :-/

    Does it really works with SM G920T s6 G920TUVU3DOI (5.1.1) (T Mobile) ?
    I want to liberate my device from T Mobile, but first I need to find a way to root it. Ive tried everithing and nothing works because 5.1.1. By the way, im pretti new on this, so would be awesome if i have some support in here. I will follow everything step by step, word by word

      I know you’ve posted this at XDA, so I won’t go into all the details here. If you follow the installation guide posted here, then you should be good to go! It’s actually a pretty simple procedure and KNOX will be tripped, since there doesn’t seem to be an sboot for our update. But I guess if you’re wanting to move on from T-Mobile, then it doesn’t matter anyway!

      Yes, I have the 64gb (black) T-Mobile with LMY47X.G925TUVU3DOI1

    Hi! For whatever reason, I’m not able to download the sboot.bin file AT ALL. Forget the other steps, I can’t get past this one due to not being able to download the file. The page is shown as invalid. Any tips?

    1. Guest Avatar

      If you have the newest update, then the sboot file will not work anyway. I don’t think there’s away to root the s6 edge that has been updated without tripping KNOX and the sboot file is only for that purpose. Unless there’s a new update to the sboot file, there’s no need to try and download it. So now, you just flash the kernel and skip the sboot part. If I’m wrong, then somebody should point this out and enlighten the both of us!

      But I don’t have the newest update. And I need the sboot file. PLEASE!

      I am in the same boat. This will absolutely be the last Samsung I ever buy – the S6 Edge is just a piece of crap and Samsung is perfectly happy to lock it down so you can’t do anything, pile on as much shit apps that CAN NOT be removed, and then fuck you on the warranty for attempting to make your phone work. Fuck you Samsung!
