Root Samsung Galaxy S6 and Install TWRP Recovery (All Models) (2 Viewers)

The and S6 Edge are probably the first Samsung flagships after the Galaxy S2 to release with a single processor type running on all its variants. Before the S6, the OEM used to ship its Galaxy and Note line devices with its in-house Exynos and Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets.

Since Samsung has used the same chip on all S6 models, things are going to be more exciting this time. In future, we’ll see mods and custom ROMs that can be installed on different models of the Galaxy S6 alike. Just a few days ago, we did a few tutorials about using CF-Auto-Root. Our today’s guide, however, is not about a particular device but almost all models of the Samsung Galaxy S6.
If you own any of the variants of the phone listed below, you can root your device and install a custom recovery right away. All these models have unlocked bootloaders. Since CF-Root is not available for all S6 models, we’ll be gaining root privilege on the listed models by installing the TWRP recovery using Odin and then by flashing the SuperSU package.
