You will lose knox/samsung pay and will wipe your data.
The root procedure is still the same exact as your Note 4. Toggle OEM unlock in developer settings, flash TWRP, flash Magisk, profit.
To unroot just flash Stock firmware and be done, or run the uninstaller from within Magisk.

So, i tried to Root my GF's I9506 with CF-Autoroot.
Safteynet fails and PokemonGo doesn't work, login problems.
I Unrooted trough SuperSU, restarted the phone a couple of times but PoGo still wont login.
She's on Stock Samsung Rom with Stock Recovery.
What can i do?
I was able to Re-Root with SuperSU for some reason. Had to update the binary tho. That's strange...
Shouldnt work if SuperSU unrooted in the first place?
Maybe it leaves files behind. If you're interested, there are ways to hide root from the game.
Anyway, the only sure way to remove root would probably be the flashing of a stock ROM.

Hmm. She really dosen't want to do a factory reset. so i guess i have to hide it then..
I think there are a few options i think all of them needs another recovery though:
Magisk + Magiskhide + phh
SuperSu, Suhide
Something called iSu.
Might it help to root again, remove anu "Su" files and folders trough ES Filexplorer? Then unroot from SuperSu?
If the phone is running a stock ROM, flashing a stock ROM usually leaves all of the data intact.

Removing any root file live might break root, which in turn won't let you remove any of the other files left.
Besides, you don't even know what files to look for.
Having a custom recovery won't affect her usage of the phone, nor the game. Besides, it gives you the benefit of making a Nandroid backup.
Ty for all the answers. So a custom Recovery doesn't trigger Saftynet?
Might as well install TWRP, backup and try to reflash stock rom from there.
Samsung Galaxy S4 International Qualcomm (jfltexx)
Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE Advanced i9506 (ks01lte)
Which one? i suppose its the 9506, flashhing my old CF-autoroot for my 9505(jfltexx) didn't work.
To flash a stock ROM, you need Odin, Samsung phone drivers, and the stock ROM from sammobile.com.
OK. But i'll do a backup on twrp first. Ty ty
Fixed it! Reflashed stock Rom with Odin and now Pogo works again!
Ty a lot for all the help. you guys are the best!
I want to root my phone, and I haven't been doing that kind of stuff since S3 so I'm a bit lost.
I've read the thread about root by Chainfire. From what I understand, this can be used for a phone with Android 6.01, right? On the other hand, I've read about a systemless root. Can this be done with my phone model and this Android version?
My main concern is the warranty. I know the first solution will trip the knox. What about the latter? Would this be better in my situation?
(And a minor question: my phone has found a software update. Should I do it before or after rooting my phone, or does it matter at all?)
for me and it can be different for other users, i have a preference for system root.
if you just want a stable root on your phone, and don't care about passing google security checks (safetynet) you should choose chainfires supersu. just download the latest zip (assuming you already have a custom recovery) and flash it. supersu will "decide" which rooting method (system/systemless) fits to your phone.
The more advanced method is magisk-root which gives you no option for system-root. the whole magisk concept is based on systemless changes to the system partition. it gives you the opportunity to pass safetynet and to add systemless modules. the downside is, that the usability (due to it's complexity) can sometimes be a bit tricky (trial and error )
hope this helped for your decision..
BTW: afaik is knox triggered with both methods

To add something: if supersu installs in systemless mode you can bypass it.
Flash the supersu zip
Reboot
Go to supersu and select full root wipe
Click no when asked to restore boot image
Your phone will automatically reboot don't let it go to system, go to recovery
With twrp go to terminal and enter this command without quotes "echo SYSTEMLESS=false>>/data/.supersu
Reinstall supersu zip
Reboot
You yave system root :good:

Thanks for your replies! I do not care about safetynet. I do care about warranty but from what I see, there is no way around this.
Would you update phone's software first?

Yeah update your system first and if you need warranty just full wipe root and select yes for biit image restore from supersu let us know if it works for you and don't hesitate to ask if you need anything

Thanks for your help! I'm updating the sofware right now and I will proceed with the root.
"just full wipe root and select yes for biit image restore from supersu" -I think I'm not sure what it means. Would you explain it a little bit more?

I have mine (S5 Neo G903W) rooted and as far as I can tell if you want your warranty you can unroot it anytime
The phone provider however doesn't state anything about rooting or whatnot and I am not a type of person who does stupid stuff that needs a warranty anyway lol
For warranty they can check knox status, if is tripped usually is void
I have bought an LG G6 (US997) and planning on rooting it.
Can it be rooted and keep the stock ROM?
TIA
Yes course it can lol.
Yeah you can
I have rooted h870 with stock rom but when you get a new ota you can't install then you need a zip file for the new update and install it with your twrp
Thanks for the replies!
So, the G6 will be rooted the moment I unlock the bootloader?
No ! after unlocking the bootloader you need to install twrp and root ( superSu or Magisk ) for your phone but before doing it your phone need to be a free carrier
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/recovery-twrp-lg-g6-us997-unofficial-t3629883
So you have 3 steps
1-Unlock bootloader
2-Flash twrp
3-Flash root
Good luck and be carefull to no brick your phone or lose your data
You should really do some more research before doing this. You clearly don't have a clue.

When you say Flash root , do I simply install SuperSU? If yes, what method of installation works? Play Store, ADB, or TWRP?
Thanks again.

I'd recommend Magisk over SuperSU at this point. Download the Magisk zip and flash it with TWRP.
If you don't root immediately after installing TWRP, your phone will revert to the stock recovery on the next boot.
Try this guide, it will answer some of your questions:

Guys I need a fast response please,
I have a rooted Oneplus 6t mclaren with magisk (stock rom), I sold the device the buyer will come in a few hours. My question is, when I format the phone by factory resetting it, will the device lose magisk root and twrp ? If yes then I need to reinstall twrp then magisk ?
If someone is buying it why would you need to unlock and root it again? Just do it, if you lose root than great if not then no big deal just install stock boot image.
I'd be super sketched out if someone tried to sell me a pre rooted phone.
thank you, what is the easiest way to unroot phone ? I think its better to sell it without root.

Magisk manager, unroot then relock
Or
Fastboot flash stock ROM then relock

the problem is, its a mclaren device, i dont wanna risk a faulty rom from regular 6t
Apologies in advance, but I am a complete novice. After spending quite a few hours lurking and reading up different threads and guides, I would like someone to confirm the steps I need to take so I don't brick my device.
I have a Samsung Tab A T580 running Oreo 8.1 (T580XXU4CRK5 firmware). I would like to root it, but plan on keeping stock firmware so I can debloat it and install AdAway.
So I enable dev options, enable OEM Unlocking and install Odin.
I then flash twrp-3.2.3-4-gtaxlwifi-OMNI6.tar
While in TWRP I wipe data (equivalent to factory reset) and then flash latest Magisk to gain root. I do not require no-verity file.
Is this right or have I misunderstood something?
