Samsung S6 Active SM-G890 Root

[messi2050]

I'm working on a root for galaxy s6 active but i need to know for which android build you need this root and which build are you on now , please make your vote in the poll section.
Notice: i don't own s6 active , it's why I'm asking testers to test those methods , I'm exynos developer ,i was able to get root on many phones that i don't have but that ofcourse was with the testers help, i believe that we will be able to get root on s6 active too
Warning:You must enable oem unlock in the developer options before trying any of those methods

Root test method for lollipop 5.1.1 only :
download this file :
http://www.mediafire.com/download/6h2hurw1al0c0y6/s6+active+permissive+kernel+lp.rar
how to install :
you must be on 5.1.1 stock rom
extract the downloaded file , u will get 3 folders permissive,stock and twrp
enter download mode and flash the [boot.tar.md5] found in permissive folder , phone will reboot
now check if the permissive kernel is working by going to settings/aboutphone , [se for android status] should be permissive
now flash twrp from the 3rd folder and if it work flash supersu.zip
if u faced bootloop after flashing the permissive kernel , flash stock kernel u will find it in the second folder

I put the phone in download mode, opened Odin 3.11.1 as Admin, connected my lollipop 5.1.1 S6 Active to PC with latest Samsung Drivers installed, Odin gives the Added message, loaded the permissive file to AP, message is that its added successfully, i click start, it runs for around 2 seconds and gives me FAIL in red
where did I go wrong?

i believe that i can do the same with you s6 active but i need the kernel source to make it possible , lol even s7 at&t release source is up [check the attachment] , i need everyone here to contact samsung from here http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=inquiryView
asking for s6 active at&t varaint g890a kernel source, i promise to make root possible on mm if the source come out.
regards.

What advantage would you have with open source files? That does not contain any of the proprietary files does it?

i will do the same as s7 , i will make unsecure kernel and push super su files using it
