Here is everything you will need to root Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925P smartphones running on the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow software updates by using an updated version of the CF-Auto-Root tool, a Windows computer and the Odin flashing application. The rooting guide when completed will equip your S6 Edge smartphone with the SuperSU app which is going to grant the root permissions to the root apps you install from the Google Play Store and other sources online.

REQUIREMENTS

• You do not need to be running any particular firmware build number to use this guide on your S6 Edge smartphone. So long as your S6 Edge is running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, you should find this guide works.
• You must have a computer that is running Windows operating systems to follow this guide or else the Odin flashing app will not run on the computer and your device will not get rooted.
• You must have the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone that has the SM-G925P model number to use this guide as any other model number will likely get bricked according to Chainfire — the developer of the CF-Auto-Root tool we are using.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Download and install the Samsung USB Drivers for the Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone for the Windows computer before you start with the guide or else your smartphone will not be detected by the flashing app we are using in the tutorial.
• Unlock the Developer Options menu from the S6 Edge’s Android OS by tapping on the Settings icon > About Device > Build Number 7 times. Keep tapping until you get a message on the display that says you are now using the smartphone as a developer.
• Turn on the USB Debugging Option from the S6 Edge’s Settings now by heading back to the home screen, followed by tapping on the Settings icon once again and then tapping on the new Developer Options menu that is available. Scroll down the list until you get to the USB Debugging box and check the box, so it is turned on. Now you can leave the Developer Options menu, and the S6 Edge’s Android operating system will remember your preferences.
