Hello,
I've been on XDA for a while and I'm more than familiar with rooting/ROMing/unlocking/etc (so don't feel like you need to dumb things down for me), but now I've got something I can't figure out.
So my sister-in-law has a C-Spire (yikes, I know) Galaxy S6, Model SM-G920R7. It's a very unusual model, the only place I've been able to even find firmware for it is from the SamFirm tool. There's no support/testing for it anywhere really, so I've just been experimenting with it using the usual methods to try and root, but nothing seems to be working as intended.
It seems to be most closely related to the Sprint variant, so most methods I've tried were based on the methods for that model (SM-G920P)
All methods end with the same result: SuperSU is installed but there is no Binary. (open the app, it says no binary installed)
What I've done, in this order:
Install TWRP then SuperSU latest: No superSU binary
CFAutoRoot for SM-G920P: No SuperSU binary
Install custom unversal kernels (tried hacker kernel, UniKernel, and Arter97) then SuperSU: OS won't boot
Tried to restore system from TWRP backup after all these failures: success but OS won't boot (DM-Verity issue for mounting system RW?)
Finally I just used ODIN to return it to stock so it would boot (latest firmware G900R7WWU3CPF2)
So now it's right back where I started, stock everything with no root and now the addition of a tripped knox. Any ideas on how to get this thing rooted?
I assume because I was able to install TWRP that the bootloader is unlocked. Is that a correct assumption?
