Root failure - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'm pulling my hair out over here trying to figure out what is going on.
I loaded PhilZ recovery, via odin, that went fine. I then loaded arter97-kernel-g928tw8-11.0 kernel, no problems there.
I reboot the phone, go into the play store, and download SU and root checker. I then attempted to run root checker and after 2 tries, it fails and tells me there is no root access on my phone. Something isn't right and I'm not sure what it is. I have been rooting and installing custom roms since the Droid X was a big deal, never had a problem until now.
Anyways, phone is a T-Mobile version of the galaxy S6 edge+.

You have to flash the SuperSU zip in recovery not install from playstore.

Alright, I uninstalled SU and installed it via recovery and it is giving me the same issue. "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device"

Which SuperSU? stable 2.46? I use 2.52 and you have Philz installed?

How did you install cwm? I rooted mine via odin with the cf method and ive confirmed root with several root checker apps. I cant seem to get cwm or twrp though and its extremely frustrating. Every time i try it just reboots to stock recovery.

How do I do that? When I boot to recovery it just boots to the stock recovery. I read somewhere else that I should rename a folder. I haven't done that so should I do that? If so, what folder? I'm sort of a noob at this. Would u mind explaining with a little more detail for me please? I would be eternally greatful.

I myself am new to Samsung devices, coming from Moto and 1+1..but with those devices..once the recovery is flashed, then one will reboot directly into recovery..anotherwords..flash the recovery file, then reboot the device to recovery..then from that, once into the custom recovery, one would boot normally..
The reason I'm un-sure in my explaination with the Samsung way..is NO custom recovery NORE Root is available for my new device of just a few days ago..and using Odin, I have only practiced, prepairing for when, hopefully the Dev's I'm in personal contact with, will come up with the Recovery and Root I need..
BUT..I can assure you, when flashing with adb, the recovery file, if one doesnt reboot immediately into recovery after flashing..to make recovery stick..otherwise the flash wouldnt take, and the stock recovery would remain..SOMEONE here with Odin experiance, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong..
SORRY, thread, for getting so far off context..

Nevermind. I got philz to flash properly. And id like to note that none of the files i used to root the phone or install philz recovery were for the 530az. Everything was for the 530h varient, but worked perfectly on my 530az. I dont know if that helps anyone here or not but i figured id throw that out there.

Very glad you solved your dilemma now you have gained very important knowledge.
As long as one can get to download on these Samsung devices one can always return to stock and start over.
Excellent feeling when you see your device boot [emoji2] [emoji106]

One click root options

Hey guys I've been away from XDA for the last few years. I was just wondering if there was an easy one click root apk. that I could download for easy access to root my sprint edge plus. I don't think I'll be flashing any ROMs or changing much I'm just looking to download a few root apps for gaming. If anyone could confirm an easy method I would really appreciate it.

I stand corrected...after checking Chainfires CF auto root site I see where G928C and several other G928 devices are on the list of supported devices. Excellent call

Cf auto root it's a little more difficult than a one click root. I'm having trouble finding a clear cut instruction guide that I understand. But it looks like cf-auto-root needs a computer? Can someone help clear this up for me? Sorry...

I'm horrible with computers and understanding files and everything... but I really need to gain access for apps such as Xmodgames and a few other things. What are some other safe things to do after rooting with CF auto root?
Can someone please confirm the link below is the correct method?

TWRP & Custom Kernel & Xposed

I used CF auto root but would like xposed. I need TWRP but it says I need a custom kernel due to DM verity or something? How have people got round this?
