I tried to use chainroot, and got stuck on the logo screen. normally you’d battery pull, go to recovery and wipe data. but i can’t find any way to shut down the phone, before doing power-upVol-home.
And now i’ve tried to odin a stock recovery to undo chainroot, odin fails. could re-run odin with auto-reboot off, but again, no way to shut off and go to recovery.
at this point i’m stuck with the blue screen asking me to use smart switch on PC to do emergency recovery. but smartswitch says the device is not recognized.
thoughts? thanks!
Had the same issue. After holding down vol up, vol down, home and power the phone rebooted and supersu was installed succesfully. Now the S6 is perfectly rooted 😉
when i click home + Down volume+ power button it doesnt get me to download mode but to some chinese word i do not understand, What can i do?
And Nothing for the 920V ughh.
I had a problem with the root in the SM-G900I, I start with the odin but when the phone start dont pass on the first boot…
Anything for the G920W?
when going to root it says installation failure. Reason being device needs to be unlocked. I’m pretty sure my phone is an international unlocked phone. I’ve used different sims in it before.
