REQUIREMENTS

  • You need to have a computer that is running on a version of the Windows operating system to use this guide. Other operating systems are not capable of running the Odin flashing tool, and thus the rooting file cannot be flashed without Windows.
  • You need to have the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ smartphone that comes with the SM-G928R4 model number to use this guide. Any other model number gets bricked when you flash the version of the rooting file in this guide.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

  • Note that Chainfire tells us that he was running on the MMB29K.G928R4TYU2BPB6 firmware build number when he developed the version of the rooting tool that is available in this guide. It does not suggest you need to be running on the same firmware when you follow this guide. Any version of the Android 6.01 should work just the same.
  • Install the Samsung USB Drivers on the computer before you get started.
  • Unlock the Developer Options menu and enable the USB Debugging Mode on the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ SM-G928R4 smartphone so you can make changes to the Android software.

You now have the SuperSU app on your device, and it is already successfully installed and enabled and ready to start granting the rooting permissions over the root apps that need it before they can run. The SuperSU doesn’t give everything root access by default, so your operating system is still secure. SuperSU blocks everything you install by default and then sends you a message when something requests root access. It is then you who needs to choose what is given the root access and what is denied based on the names of the apps that SuperSU shows you.
