Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Root and TWRP Recovery

Update (24 May 2016): There have been more than a few updates for Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, including our favorite, Marshmallow, and thus root methods have come and gone and gone by too. So, we are cleaning up this post to provide you a neat and clean guide on Edge Plus root, with a confirmed working root trick. If even this method doesn’t work, sure let us know via comments below.

Update (10 October 2015): Sprint Galaxy S6 Edge Plus root added. Original article continues: If you own the big brother of S6 Edge, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ then there is some news to cheer you up. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ root is now available, for most of the models. Earlier, Galaxy Note 5 root was also made available today.

As CF Auto Root no longer works on Samsung devices on Android 5.1.1 update, one has to wait patiently for a custom kernel to be developed and shared, one that is permissive type to allow root access.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ Root

Let’s discuss the root status of all major Galaxy S6 Edge+ variants here.

Update (March 6, 2016): Full root solution now available for the AT&T S6 edge Plus whose users have been craving for superuser root access since day one. Today’s is your lucky day AT&T S6 Edge Plus users!

Update (September 6, 2015): Thanks to awesome developer g.lewarne, stock Auto root kernel is now available for the S6 Edge+.

Right now, around 8 models are supported, which includes 3 international and 3 Korean models, T-Mobile and Canadian model.

While, root isn’t available for S6 Edge+ at AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and US Cellular.

International Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928C, G928F and G928i)

Available.

Korean Galaxy S6 Edge+  (SM-G928K, G928S and G928L)

Available.

T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928T)

Available.

Canadian Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928W8)

Available.

Sprint Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928P)

Available.

US Cellular Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928R4)

Not available. Until a custom kernel supporting root access comes out, wait would continue.

Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928V)

Not available. Root would not be available anytime soon probably, because Verizon locks down the bootloader of the device.

AT&T Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928A)

Available. Have fun!

Downloads

Download stock Auto Root kernel for your device’s model no. from below, and then follow the guide to install it on your device.

  • TWRP recovery — Link
  • SuperSU kernel — Link
  • Odin PC software — Link | File: Odin-3-10-7.zip (1.03 MB)

Supported devices

  • SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 Edge+, all those variants whose codename is zenlte
  • Don’t try this on other Samsung device than S6 Edge+, like S6 Edge or regular S6
  • Don’t try on any other device whatsoever!

Important: Check your device’s codename on its packaging box, or in Settings > About device.

Warning!

Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page. You only are responsible for your device. We won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components. Also, this trips KNOX, meaning KNOX would stop working on your device, and thus you won’t be able to Samsung Pay, or install enterprise Apps on your device at Office.

Backup!

Backup important file stored on your device before proceeding with the steps below, so that in case something goes wrong you’ll have backup of all your important files. Sometimes, Odin installation may delete everything on your device!

How to Root

Step 1. Download Odin, TWRP and SuperSU file from above.

→ Copy the SuperSU file to your device.

Step 2. Install Galaxy S6 Edge+ driver (method 1 there!) first of all. Double click the .exe file of drivers to begin installation. (Not required if you have already done this.)

Step 3. Extract the Odin file. You should get this file, Odin3 v3.10.7.exe (other files could be hidden, hence not visible).

Step 4. Disconnect your Galaxy S6 Edge+ from PC if it is connected.

Step 5. Enable OEM unlock on your device.

  1. Go to Settings > About device. And then tap on build no. 7 times or until your get the message ‘You’re now a developer’.
  2. Go back to Settings, scroll down, and tap on ‘Developer options’.
  3. Look for ‘Enable OEM unlock’ and use its toggle to enable it. Accept the warning by tapping on OK button.

— Also make sure you have disabled the Find My Mobile option completely in Settings > Lockscreen and security settings.

Step 6. Boot Galaxy S6 Edge+ into download mode:

  1. Power off your Galaxy S6 Edge+. Wait 6-7 seconds after screen goes off.
  2. Press and hold the three buttons Power + Home + Volume down together until you see warning screen.
  3. Press Volume Up to continue to download mode.

Step 7. Double click on extracted file of Odin, Odin3 v3.10.7.exe, to open the Odin window, as shown below. Be careful with Odin, and do just as said to prevent problems.

Odin 3.10.6

Step 8. Connect your Galaxy S6 Edge+ to PC now using USB cable. Odin should recognize your Galaxy S6 Edge+. It’s a must. When it recognizes, you will see Added!! message appearing in the Log box in bottom left, and the first box under ID:COM will also show a no. and turn its background blue. Look at the pic below.

Odin 3.10.6 Added message

  • You cannot proceed until you get the Added!! message, which confirms that Odin has recognized your device.
  • If you don’t get Added!! message, you need to install/re-install drivers again, and use the original cable that came with the device. Mostly, drivers are the problem (look at step 2 above).
  • You can try different USB ports on your PC too, btw.

Step 9. Load the TWRP file into Odin. For this, click the AP button on Odin and the select the TWRP file in .tar format.

Odin 3.10.6 Firmware loaded after md5 check

Step 10. Now, go to Options tab, and make sure both Re-Partition and Auto Reboot are NOT checked, while F.Reset Time only is checked. Don’t use PIT tab. Go back to Log tab btw, it will show the progress when you hit start button in next step.

Re-partition Remains Off

Step 11. Click the Start button on Odin now to start flashing the firmware on your Galaxy S6 Edge+. TWRP will be installed in a matter of seconds, after which you will see the PASS message in green background (see the pic below).

Odin 3.10.6 Pass Message Appears

  • If Odin gets stuck at setup connection, then you need to do this all again. Disconnect your device, close Odin, boot device into download mode again, open Odin, and then select the firmware and flash it again as said above.
  • If you get FAIL in the top left box, then also you need to flash the firmware again as stated just above.

Step 12. Your device will not reboot automatically, because we unchecked Auto Reboot in options tab. Now, reboot it directly into recovery mode. For this, (read this all before doing it) press and hold Power + Volume down button until screen goes off, and once it does, quickly hold and press Volume Up + Power + Home button, until you see Samsung logo.

Step 12. Your Edge Plus will reboot into TWRP recovery. If it asks, then swipe to allow for system modification. Now, to root, tap on Install, and then browse and select the SuperSU file you earlier transferred to the device. (If you forgot to transfer the SuperSU file, then try to copy it now by connecting the device and using the options in Mount menu to load internal storage.)

Next, do the Swipe action at bottom to confirm installing the SuperSU file.

Once done, tap on Reboot System button to reboot the Edge Plus.

That’s it. Enjoy the Root access on your Galaxy S6 Edge+!

    Anyone has a tip please? Don’t want brick my device 🙂
    Thanks alot

    1. Well, it could but no guarantee. Moreover, a firmware for your device G928M isn’t available either, so you won’t a firmware to flash if anything goes wrong. Do you know whether G928F firmware flashes fine on your device?

    2. G928G work perfect.

    3. G928M=G928G ????

    Thanks.

    1. None yet. Although you can try the one for G920F. in case it doesn’t work out, simply flash the current build no. firmware back and you will be good. Risk is yours.

    2. Thank Krishna, I hope G9287 will root ….
      samsung without root, like a chaotic things tidy

    3. We will let you know once root is available for G92587.

  13. I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + phone on Craigslist. The device has been reset and is asking for Google Account information that was originally used to setup the phone. The seller never provided my that info and is not responding to my calls and is not traceable. Hence, I can’t access any menu on phone and can;t change any settings. Can I still install Stock Auto-root kernel and root phone to replace Samsung ROM by Custom ROM? Thanks for your help.

  39. how can u get rid of the reboot loop

    1. You will have to flash the firmware using Odin.

  41. successfully rooted my 928F model but wifi connections don’t “stick” and I have to re-enter ssid passwords after every reboot 🙁

    1. ok, the fix is to set edit your build. set “ro.securestorage.support” to false – setting it to true stops your device storing wifi passwords

    2. I mean build.prop

    3. How do we dose this sir?

    4. Doze mode is available only on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Not available on 5.1.1.

    5. how do I do it?

  42. my model number is SM-G928F which i know you guys have an root for, but i live in Norway. will it still work?

    1. Your physical location won’t affect the rooting process.

    2. Skjønner du hvordan man gjør det? Har akkurat samme telefon, men min begynte å skru seg av hver gang jeg koblet til wifi eller 4g…

    1. Well, I looked again for G928G but couldn’t find any file particularly for it. But because it’s International model like 928i and 928f, you can try the one for 928i — btw, it’s the same file for all International devices.
      In case it doesn’t work, and phone stops booting up, flashing a firmware will easily bring it back to normal. So, no risk.

    1. Well, post updated to reflect new root method, and that includes TWRP too. Try this one. Should work on all variants except AT&T, Sprint and Verizon one. Let me know.

    2. The AT&T variant is what everyone is having trouble with, but now you’re saying your new root method doesn’t work on AT&T? So nothing has changed.

    3. Come on, you gotta get back to us. Now the OTA update is available but it won’t work on my phone because of the root method you gave us! And I can’t recover from what you caused because the SM-G928A firmware (AT&T) isn’t available! So you need to be honest and just tell us if you screwed all of us over, or if you’re going to figure this out. Take responsibility.

    4. LOL..what he caused? He came to your house and rooted your phone? Take responsibility for what you illegally did to your own phone? I’m not against it but damn, you did this, you take responsibility.
