Chainfire roots T-Mobile Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge prior to official release

It’s pretty rare to see an Android device that doesn’t get rooted at some point in it’s life cycle, and it looks like Samsung’s Galaxy S6 isn’t going to escape that fate. Chainfire’s famous root method has already been confirmed to work on T-Mobile Galaxy S6 and its Edge variant, and those devices aren’t publicly available yet.

Apparently there weren’t many changes that needed to be made, so T-Mobile isn’t going to be locking this one down like some other carriers inevitably will be. Chainfire does mention that rooting the device is very likely to trip Samsung’s KNOX security measures, and an untripped KNOX will probably be required for phone based payments. If you root the device, say goodbye to one of the biggest selling points of the GS6.

Either way, we’ve got at least a month to go before the S6 hits T-Mobile’s network officially, so you’ve got some time to think it over.
