CF-Auto-Root

Chainfire · Mar 16, 2015

The first S6 Edge roots are available from the repository: http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ !

Note that the stock kernel currently has an issue preventing the device from going into "deep sleep" if a custom recovery is flashed (which is what this does). A fix for this issue can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60383471&postcount=49. This fix will also work if you replace the recovery with for example TWRP.

Same issue here. I've tried all the "Odin" tricks.. different cables, different PCs, latest drivers, several reboots, different Odin versions, etc.... All the same, stuck on "NAND Write Start". Hoping for a fix soon.

Yes the sm-g925t is on the list

From looking at the other threads, specifically the non-edge S6 auto root thread, everyone is in the same boat. We just need to wait for Chainfire to update. Like an idiot, I accepted the out-of-the-box OTA although others are saying they are having the same issue without the OTA update.

All t-mobile phones have unlocked bootloaders

mine is bricked. i tried to root and it wont get passed the first screen. cant even access recovery. i cant even get the phone to turn off

Damn I bricked mine too. Used Odin 3.10.6, got a successful flash but it won't get past the booting screen, won't shut off, can only really access Download Mode. Which I've tried using different suggestions but still failed to get it to boot up or put into recovery to complete the root process.

I would be really pissed if my new edge will be stuck before i even got to play with it...... Hope you guys get it working back asap

How did you get it to be successful flash? I tried ODIN 3.10.6 with the available CF-Auto_root and continue to get stuck at NANO WRITE! Of course i accepted the OTA right out of box also.

Wonder why we have different results of "same task"

I didn't actually take the OTA, because I wanted to be sure that I would be able to root the phone for sure without needing to wait too long for an update to the Auto Root Utility that would work with the newer version.

I had the same problem but then I flashed the non-edge S6 auto root (SM-G920T) and it worked flawlessly. Good luck.

OMG! THAT'S IT!, IT WORKED!!! YOU SAVED MY STUPIDLY EXPENSIVE PHONE (and from some seriously painful beatings from the wife had she found out the $1100+ phone died).

Okay enough of my excitement. Thanks for the advice, and helping me revive my phone. I hope Chainfire updates his first page post to ensure other people don't accidentally semi-brick their phones.

Yes, I installed the OTA and successfully rooted the S6 Edge (SM-925T) by using Odin 3.10.6 and the non-edge auto root (SM-G920T). It will trip KNOX as expected.

The Updater recognizes that my phone has been modified so it won't even allow me to download the OTA.

Has anyone successfully updated OTA first and then flashed AutoRoot?

Yes, several of us have had success flashing Auto Root after installing the OTA.

FieldsInc · Mar 31, 2015

I have took OTA and rooted, using the 920t auto root.
