Neither QtADB, droid explorer and android commander work on the s6.
What, if any, software are you using with a GUI interface which works with the S6 as a root explorer/browser on a Windows PC?
thanks

Specs: Droid, running Android 2.0.1, rooted
su works but apps still say I don't have root?
I'm an IT Professional not a newb, but not super great on Linux either.
I've followed the rooting steps, after updating manually to 2.0.1
The issue is, I can go: su using a term emulator on my phone and it says "access granted courtesy of magicandroidapps" (something like that). and I can do root things. But when I do anything that requires root and has a GUI I get errors and messages that I don't have root access
I can do things through the term emulator, but for some reason when I download apps that require root and try to use them it still says I don't have root access? What gives? I couldn't even rename a file in /etc/bluez using ROOT EXPLORER (a file manager).
It's like root works on term emulator but not through GUI apps? Am I missing something?

Disregard, problem solved
Apparently the latest droid root technique works. For some reason the original technique didn't seem to work. This is what worked for me...

Much simpler too. No adb stuff.
Hello
I have a problem with my Galaxy Note, i bought it yesterday and i upgraded the firmware to N7000OJPKK2 from sammobile.com.
Now i'm trying to root it to use android commander. i have done it with DooMLoRD v4 tools, and now i can use root explorer and similar software.
When i connect my Note and start Android commander i got Root Access : NO and i'm sure it is rooted because i can change the system files.
i tried the command ADB ROOT but i got : "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"
So please what can i do the fix this ?
Essentially this is just a quick compilation of what i've got working on my htc one M8 sprint edition phone.
This link leads to instructions solely on how to disable tether guard on your phone, this lets you use your default built in "hot spot" and not worry about installing other tether programs to get the job done
http://www.cultofandroid.com/61639/enable-free-wi-fi-tethering-htc-one-m8/
This link leads to a file you'll want to extract from the .zip file. Basically you just want the tether script.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712222&page=1
Okay heres the instructions, Were working under the assumption you know what rooting is, your phones already rooted with S-OFF, if thats the case your ready to go.
Get root explorer or use ES file explorer.
After its installed and running on your phone navigate to your phones ROOT DIRECTORY.
Root Explorer (Suggested)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.explorer
ES File Explorer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
Optional script runner (3C Toolbox (aka Android Tuner))
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.at.free
Optional script runner (Script Manager - SManager) (suggested)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager
--------------INSTRUCTIONS--------------------
Step 1 Modifying Index.xml)
Using your phone you'll want to use either ES File explorer or Root explorer to go to the root directory and FIRST edit your index.xml located in /system/customize/ACC Change the
<app name=”Tethering_provision”>
<item type=”integer”
name=”TetheringGuard_rule”>1</item></app>
Notice the “1” above in bold. Change it to “0.” Save the edited text file and exit the app. (MAKE SURE TO SAVE!!!) {Mine was set to 3, others have reported it being 2, just switch it to 0 regardless of whatever number is their just to be safe, EVEN if it already says 0)
Now thats part one, this just enables you to use your default built in wireless hot spot utility (The reason were doing this is just incase your running a newer model htc one m8 like me who cant use prebuilt index.xml's to over write our current one, so we wont brake any important things in the index.xml)
Step 2 Getting the script running)
Remember the .zip link? The Sprint_M8_Tether_Hack_V2.zip you'll want to extract on phone or somewhere where you can modify the files. The only file you want out of their is the tether file or "script" located under directory "Sprint_M8_Tether_Hack_V2\system\etc\init.d"
Copy the tether file to your root directory (or where ever you so please).
Using either root file explorer or ES File explorer you will then move the tether script to (where ever you want really) on your android phones root directory (for simplicity i just moved the file to \ )
Now using the suggested script runner (scriptmanager - Smanager), you will
"Step 1) Open up Script Manager and navigate to saved tether script location and select the "tether" script.
Step 2) Click on SU and Boot (Android Skull and Gear Icons, respectively) and click on run and save."
{Copied from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712222&page=12}
Step 3 Testing the wireless tether)
Basically you've saved and edited your index.xml and saved it, you've also made it so that script manager will auto run the script at boot, now your set.
Power cycle your phone (hard boot, not soft reboot)
Then test out your wireless after your phone is fully up and running.
The script manager should automatically have applied the tether script so 3g and 4g LTE will work when tethering.
The index.xml edit was applied upon reboot so you should see that hotspot located in System > Other features > Hotspot now is unlocked and working (with out annoying warning prompts, etc...)
Connect any device, and run it with your specified ip/dns/dhcp settings and test it out. It SHOULD work.
For the record i used root explorer, 3C Toolbox Pro (Android Tuner), for the editing and scripting process. But i highly suggest you use the suggested programs i've listed above. Its easier that way.
This has been fully tested by me, supernet2, as working, on everything i own, laptops, tablets, on Wireless bgn devices as well as N+ devices (under N/N+ protocols), Works on ps3s, ps4s, xbox ones, ps vitas, and various other devices i've tested it on (far to many to list)
Cheers, give me a Thanks at the top nearby my name if my instructions helped make this process simpler for you.

Yes it requires S-Off, S-Off enables write to system directory
S-On disables write to system directory.
Technically i did it with S-ON (but i also modified the file on computer), if you want to directly modify it on the device using the listed instructions just make sure your device has S-OFF (you can just ignore this and boot up into recovery, i use TWRP personally) and then from their just update and replace the .index file as well as putting the tether script into your destination of choice. (If thats the case editing on pc is far easier, simple text or notepad or any text editor will do). After you've made sure you've made the neccessary modifications replace/move the index.xml file onto your phones system directory (mount system directory) and follow instructions listed to replace the index.
Can you please give instructions how to do with S-On, please? And does S-On method require PC use to edit and relocate files? Please let me know ASAP!Thanks!

In TWRP you have a build in file manager. Look for it.
You can use an ftp app like this one :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t+ftp&pcampaignid=APPU_1_NTEOVpDRFsP-aYnvkIgK
Its a paid app but you can find similar ones free on playstore.

No he cannot. Because his device did not boot.
By custom recovery, there is a solution to create a flashable patch to correct error by replace app or delete it.
I can do it if i have infos and upload it there
Use ADB to fix it with shell by pulling/editing/pushing files.
