How to root Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925T on Android 6.0.1 [Guide]

android-6-0-marshmallow-dottechHere is everything you need to learn how to root Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925T smartphones running the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update at the time of writing this guide. You will find this guide works for all versions of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. The only exception to that is if your phone carrier network has rolled out a larger update recently which has bought a new bootloader with it and Chainfire has to update the file. Those changes will be automatically reflected in our guide because we link back to Chainfire’s repository.

REQUIREMENTS

  • The following guide is made for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925T and no other model number. You can check that your model number matches with the same SM-G925T by tapping on the Settings > About Device > Model Number.
  • The CF-Auto-Root package available in this guide will work on any version of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Chainfire gives a build number available from his repository that he used for the rooting, but it does not mean you need to flash that same build number.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

  • Download the Samsung USB Drivers for the Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone and install them on the Windows computer before you start with the guide so your smartphone can be detected by the Odin flashing tool.
  • Unlock the Developer Options menu on the Galaxy S Edge smartphone by tapping on the Settings > About Device > Build Number and keep tapping until the message on the screen says you are using the device as a developer (usually seven times).
  • Head back to the Settings and scroll down the list until you get to the Developer Options menu and enter the same to find your USB Debugging Mode inside. Check the box for that USB Debugging so that it is on and then leave your Developer Options menu. The Android operating system will recall your preferences automatically.
