How to Root Galaxy S6 edge on Android 5.1.1 (All G925 variants)

Yuppie! The custom kernel with auto-root used for rooting Android 5.1.1 on Galaxy S6 G920 variants is now available as an Odin flashable (.tar) file for the Galaxy S6 edge as well. You can use it root almost all of the Galaxy S6 edge G925 variants running on Android 5.1.1 update.

Just grab the UniKernel .tar file from the download links below and flash it to your S6 edge via Odin. You’ll have root access.

Root Galaxy S6 edge on Android 5.1.1 via ODIN

  1. Open Odin 3.10.6 on your PC.
  2. Boot your Galaxy S6 edge into Download mode:
    1. Switch off your tablet.
    2. Press and hold “Home + Power + Volume down” buttons for a few seconds until you see a warning screen.
    3. Press Volume Up on the warning screen to accept it and boot into Download mode.
  3. Once your S6 edge is in download mode, connect it to the PC with a USB cable. The Odin window on PC should detect the phone and show an “Added!!” message.
  4. Now click on the AP button on Odin window and select the S6-UniKernel_v2-0002-ODIN.tar file that you downloaded above.
    └ Note: DON’T play with any other options on the screen. You’re only required to connect your Galaxy S6 edge and select the KERNEL file in PA tab.
  5. Click the Start button on Odin and wait for it to finish the process. Once it has finished successfully, you’ll see a pass message on the Odin screen.
  6. Your phone will automatically reboot when Odin is done flashing. You should now have root access, look for the SuperSU app in your app drawer.

To verify root access, download and install this root checker app from Play Store.
