Root Your Samsung Galaxy S6 in 5 Easy Steps
People always ask me why they should root their phone. I ask them why not? You can get more out of your device by rooting it. Break free and turn into a hotrod by customize just about anything you want. You could partition the drive and add another operating system, get the latest version of android sooner, block ads or overclock the cpu just for starters.
Basically rooting means that you have administrative permissions and can unlock the full power of admin permissions. On UNIX style operating systems such as Android you will be granted “Super User permissions.” Beware that if you don’t do a little research or understand what you are doing you may brick your phone. You also run the risk of voiding your warranty so make sure you have done your homework before trying this, especially if this is your primary phone. In light of that, it’s really not too complicated, all you need to do is a some research online.
This method only works with T-Mobile or International versions of the device. You will need a computer running Windows. It’s a good idea to back everything up on your phone that you don’t want to lose. You may lose the use of KNOX and Samsung Pay after rooting. This method will not trip your KNOX though. This is good news if you want to keep your warranty.
