Rooting the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Duos smartphone can be done by using Chainfire’s CF-Auto-Root tool now that he has officially released the files for this handset. The CF-Auto-Root tool is going to install and enable the SuperSU on your smartphone so you can begin to install any apps that require the root access to the internal system to run. You will still need to install a custom recovery on the smartphone before you can check out what ROMs are available to install from the aftermarket side of things.
