Am I able to root 6.0.1?

[Grey Hawk]

I upgraded to an S7, but I have some apps I want to test on my old S5 that require root.

Build number ends in: DPD1

I've never rooted before. If its possible can someone point me to an easy to read guide?

If you downgrade to PB1 lollipop you can root. If your Cid starts with 15 you can unlock your boot loader if your Cid starts with 11 you can only gain root going back to PB1 and root

Hello my friend cid starts with 11 what I can do really I am a little confused when you say that we can do root cid 11 without unlocking the boot loader that means that we could not install other rom? but if you can optener root that it would be important to me

If your Cid starts with 15 you can unlock your boot loader and root marshmallow
And flash custom roms. But if your Cid starts with 11 you won't be able to root marshmallow you can downgrade to BPB1 and gain root
