6.0.1 G900VVRU2DPG2 Root

[andrewr74]

Hi community,

Not sure if this goes against TOS of the forum or if this is even the correct forum to be posting this question in. What is preventing a root from being created for 6.0.1? What would help get a root created for this phone?
I am willing to pay someone to create a working root method; whether it be public or just for me. I have an adequate number of phones to help develop a root. Applicants must be a trusted member of the community with a high reputation.

Please no flame comments. Only serious responses.

Thanks,
Andrew

root on marshmellow requires a unlocked bootloader (this applies to ANY marshmellow device )
if you have a CID15 device you can flash back to PB1 unlock the bootloader and then flash whatever 6.01 rooted rom you want

if you have a a CID11 device with a non-unlockable boot-loader you are SOL its impossible to root marshmallow with dm-verity enabled and there is no way around that
dm-verity cryptographicly checks the block map of the /system partition if there is so much as a text file out of place it won't boot

Thanks for the response. It was very informative. I'll check which chipset I have on the phones. Hopefully there are some that are downgradable.

Not sure if my terminology is correct but does samsung offer an option to register the device as unlocked? Similar to how HTC offers an option to unlock it? Where they send you the unlock key or something.

no the only bootloader unlock we have is for s5's with samsung flash memory aka CID15 devices
you can check which you have with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check&hl=en
first two numbers if its a 15 you are good follow the root and unlock threads if its a 11 nope you are sol

Yeah, I checked a handful of my phones and 2 of the 5 were CID 15. I was successfully able to downgrade to 5.0 and root. Using an app to check every phone is very annoying since I have to sideload the apk and launch which takes too long. Do you know of anyway using ADB that I could determine the eMMc chipset?

I spoke with Samsung for a possible solution that is equivalent to a root and they suggested Nox Console. Where I can remove bloatware and disable certain features of the phone for $3ea. Which is alright for locking down the device but apps that require root to accomplish what I need... So not much help there.

In your opinion, what are the chances someone creates a root for CID 11? Impossible?

if you searched the forum before asking any of this you would know the answer to that No not gonna happen extensive research was done it s impossible with the current method we have

for locked devices if you simply wanna turn apps off or block ota's I recommend this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro&hl=en

cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid
will return the cid from a shell
CID11's can be downgraded to 5.01 and then you can get root but NOT marshmallow and higher

oncid 15 devices you can unlock the bootloader https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
and flash a rooted marshmallow rom if you already have root you can skip right to method 2

That emmc command worked perfectly!
I don't load any custom roms so only getting root on stock 5.0 is exactly what I want. I was unaware CID11 was downgradable, the other post were a tad confusing in regards to the CIDs. I guess it was the terminology that I did not understand.

Thank you for the help!
