Root Method for Samsung Galaxy S6 Active?

Hello, I hope you're doing well. I am trying to restore some deleted Facebook conversations, and I heard that they can be saved as cache files in the Android data storage, but you need to root to access the "hidden" files. I also heard that this particular Samsung model (Samsung Galaxy S6 Active) is hard to root. I tried to access the files without rooting by plugging the Android to the PC, but nothing showed up when I explored the different fb_temp and fb_cache files. Please let me know if there is a safe rooting method out there. Thank you.

EDIT: It is Android version 5.0.2, and the model number is SM-G890A.

Your best bet is to flash TWRP make sure the correct version for your device and then use TWRP to flash magisk for root. https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../twrp-t3080940

Hi, thanks so much for your reply. What does "flash" mean? Would I need to back up my phone first?

Yes, a backup is always wise to ensure you keep all the files, flashing is "uploading" additional software to the phone. But since you only need some recovery check out Magisk: https://******************/ You can download from the app store as well.

Also, the link does not work? PS This method works for Samsung Galaxy S6 ACTIVE, right? I heard it's a bit hard to do this on this model.

Ah my bad something went wrong when i paste the link: https://******************/ Magisk is a very nice easy to use rooting app and installer for various handy tools. Under Settings there is a backup option that will save data as well from apps etc.

Hi again, is this the link? https://magisk.download/ Your link isn't working again, unfortunately.

Aye that is the link weird part is that Magisk is even on XDA so I got no idea why this is being censored.
