Intall this app to check your CID if its start with 15
Then you can unlock your bootloader and possibly root on 6.0.1

ccid starts with 110

Unfortunately you cannot unlock your bootloader.
You have to go back to lollipop then root and then install 6.0 Marshmallow.

First download vzw lollipop PB1 stock rom.
You can search in xda for download link

Is this method still working if so my cid is 15

6.0.1 can be rooted and if you are going to odin flash lollipop why? Flash twrp in odin mode then flash supersu zip through twrp. Boom rooted then can flash any rom you want. Easy I've rooted every phone this way. Simple

Questionable Downgrade Method

I'm currently on 98.30.1 on my Razr M with a locked bootloader. I was wondering if it is possible to restore a backup from another Razr M that backed up and earlier firmware using safestrap. I'm having terrible battery issues with the latest OTA. I had better battery life with 98.12.4 and was curious if this was possible.

No. Your kernel is locked (boot.img). But once you have a ss backup of your virgin sys (for a fall back when kk comes). Start disabling apps from settings/apps. There is a list of good to remove apps in the 926 forum.

You can try moparman371 ...78 system on ...94 boot.
Go my restore thread ~ in the middle, for the link. You will have to mod the script.

Download and install Towelroot, run it. Download supersu, busybox, and safestrap. Install. For roms, follow devs instructions to install their roms. Do not skip a step.

I just need to install that on my phone, or computer?...I guess I thought I was going to have to do work with drivers and some other things, and then link the phone up o the computer and all that other stuff...
Anyways thank you very much for your quick help so far!
I think you only need a pc to Odin anything to install modded roms. Nc4 is roots with towelroot, then you just install supersu, busybox, and safestrap and run them.

Make sure you download safestrap 3.75

ok do you get those from the playstore, or from the internet on the phone. When I typed in towelroot on google play, I got DriveDroid (paid), Soft buttons, Root checker and unroot PRO as results.

Are you downloading to a pc? If so which browser are you using? As far as I know to download a stock rom, go to sammobile.com . It's a pain in the butt to log in and everything but once it works, you can download the stock rom from them and flash it via odin. I just did that with my note 10.1 to return it to stock.

so is this why people relock the bootloader after loading a custom ROM?
Is it possible to re-lock the bootloader and keep a custom ROM like LineageOS on your phone?

Are you continuing to check Samsung Members for the official update? I expect the 1st update possibly this week or next and if it's like Pie beta, it may become available to others not running the initial version.
I did this last night to my att s10+ . I flashed the bsi4 firmware in Odin then installed the update from an external sd card.

Add androidsage. Com into the link I posted .. that's the directions. You should definitely learn to use Odin and find firmware before doing this. More important to know how to dig yourself out when you inevitably soft brick.
Is wifi calling still available after updating to the new one ui?
You need SI4. The zip has been posted here. It says TMobile but it flashes att if you have an att SIM card. Just download it, put it onto an external SD card, reboot in recovery and apply update from SD card.
Edit: I have it in my GDrive. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K0Iy-5zYB8v8vKNrVo1clFaIJbZRvkrK/view?usp=drivesdk
