[Guide][Root] How to root: OJ7/ OL1



As Google and Samsung release android updates, Rooting becomes harder and harder and new methods are constantly need in order to obtain Root. Senior Member @JoeFCaputo113 has found a Root method that should support Lollipop (OJ7, OL1) and up. I just decided to put together a nice little guide to help new and existing users.

* This WILL trip KNOX their I or anyone else mentioned on this thread are responsible for anything that happens to your devices(s)

1) Download Odin (This is the tool used to flash Samsung Firmware)
2) Download the latest TWRP Tar File
3) Download the latest Systemless SuperSU

4) Unzip Odin and open it up, cick the button labeled "AP"/"PDA" and navigate to where you saved the TWRP Tar file and press "Select". You will noticed that the box next to the "AP"/"PDA" button is now checked.
5) Connect the device and allow it to install drivers. Now open the Settings app and scroll down to the bottom of the list and click "About phone" and tap "Build Number" several times until you get a message saying "Developer Options have been enabled". Once you get that message push the back button and click "Developer options" and enable "OEM Unlocking" (To disable FRP (Factory Reset Protection) Lock)
6) Power Off the device and boot into Odin/ Download Mode <How To: (Power on your device by pressing and holding (at the same time) the power, volume down and home buttons. Then release the buttons when download mode is displayed on your S6.
7) In Odin you should see "Device Added" just click the "Options" tab and make sure nothing is checked but "Auto Reboot". Now go back to the first tab and press the "Start" button.

8) You should now be booted into TWRP and you *May* be asked if you want to keep your system "Read Only" just tick the box (To not show again) and then Swipe to allow modifications. Now click the "Mount" button and make your that "Data, System and Cache" are all checked. You should see your device appear in your Windows file manger. Just move the Systemless SuperSU to your device and click the "Install" button. Now navigate to where you saved the file and click on it then just swipe to install it.

9) Once its done flashing click the option to reboot *Please note the first reboot will take a while*

10) You can find custom ROMs on the Android Development Thread and the Original Android Development Thread
