He is also a proponent of other tools like the Triangle way app — an app that can return your flash counter to zero if you are into flashing custom firmware.

REQUIREMENTS

• The rooting exploit for the S6 Edge in this guide is based on the MMB29K.SC04GOMU1BPC2 firmware. You do not have to run that firmware on your Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone. Chainfire gives you that build ID to use as a guideline. Sometimes a Samsung device will not boot old images.
• You must have a Windows computer to follow this guide. No other operating system will get the job done because Odin is compatible with Windows only.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• You will need to unlock the Developer Options menu if you cannot see it there from your Settings menu. You get that done by tapping on the Settings, followed by the About Device menu. Once inside the About Device menu, tap where it gives you the build number. Keep your hands out of the way and continue tapping about 7 or 8 times and it will tell you that you are using the smartphone as a developer.
• Now that you have the Developer Options menu unlocked, enter it from the Settings menu and then allow permissions for the USB Debugging by checking the box for that feature.
• Download and install the Samsung USB Drivers on your computer before you start with the guide so your smartphone can connect with the Odin flashing app.
