Samsung officially released the Galaxy Edge in the last month, so if you are looking for a compatible rooting procedure, you ought to look no further than what we are using here with Chainfire’s CF-Auto-Root package. We admire his work since it gives Android users an experience that’s close to stock Android. The system internals are open and away from the default factory restrictions just like any other. Furthermore, we know it’s one of the easiest methods possible. You will be out of here within five minutes if all goes to plan.

Being an official release by Chainfire, we know we can trust the source 100%. He’s releasing a different package for each Edge model number. All of them are working. The aforementioned file we have here is running on just under three and a half thousand mobiles as we speak. He’s also the same developers behind other work such as SuperSU and Triangle Away.

As you probably already know, gaining root access is about as unofficial as it gets. The following is not permitted by the folks out of mountain View, nor does it sit well with the manufacturers. Google always talk about wanting open devices but then they do a great job at patching up any security exploits found by Devs such as Chainfire. These are commonly found in OTA software updates. That said, the warranty is void by going ahead from here. You can unroot the handset and the warranty works once more. However, while it’s with the system internal unlocked there’s nobody who will fix anything that goes wrong.

  • Backup the data by suing any number of application from the Google Play Store including helium for Android, SMS backup+, G Cloud backup, Titanium and more. With the aforementioned apps you can make copies of the phone contacts, market apps, text messages and more. others may prefer to sync the device with Samsung Kies. Kies is great for downloading the latest USB drivers too.
  • Follow the steps below only using the SM-N915T and no other model number variant of the Edge. Each file is case-sensitive and you risk soft-bricking the smartphone if you install the wrong file.
