Great news for those who want to root their Galaxy S6. There is a new root method called PingPong Root which happens to be a one-click root method and does not require a computer. This is a super easy way to root the Galaxy S6. Most of all this works on Verizon devices! Many Verizon users were not expecting root access on the GS6 at all making this a huge deal! If you are looking to get your Galaxy S6 rooted follow the guide below.
First of all, make sure you backup any files you need backed up and know you proceed at your own risk. But don’t let that scare you because PingPong is very simple to install and I experienced no issues at all throughout the process.
Steps To Get Root:
- Head over to XDA to download PingPong Root here and look for the latest version to download
- Download a file manager app that can unzip files on your phone. I used ES File Explorer – Play Store link
- Download the party file at the bottom of the post, extract the zip, and open the apk file
- Once PingPong is open simply select “Get Root” and let it do work
- It will ask you to reboot the phone after the program runs and is complete
- Reboot the phone – hold the power button, select reboot, and press reboot
- After rebooting the phone find the Kinguser app and open it
- The app will show it is successfully rooted
- Download Root Checker from the Play Store – link
- Select “Verify Root”
- You should see that your phone is rooted
- Congrats! You have root access!
There you have it! When I saw that the S6 on Verizon could get root I couldn’t wait to make a guide about how to get this done! Now that you have root share this post with your social networks to spread the awesome news! I must say, it feels great having root on my Verizon Galaxy S6.

The only 2 apps that say its rooted are: KingRoot and RootChecker. Every other app says its not. SuperSU even does. Fix Pls
Q: I’d like switching to SuperSU, what shall I do?
A: Kinguser does not have a “swtich” function. Follow these steps to do so manually: (if you are not familiar with adb, see this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show…&postcount=269)
1. Download supersu.7z and extract it. You will get the files needed to install Supersu.
2. Using adb to push su and busybox (if not installed) to /data/local/tmp.
Code:
adb push su /data/local/tmp
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
3. Start a su session and run the following commands:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/daemonsu && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
cat /data/local/tmp/busybox >/system/bin/busybox && chmod 0755 /system/bin/busybox
daemonsu -d &
Then keep the session running.
4. Open Kinguser, go to Settings -> Root authorization setting -> Remove Root permission. Click to remove root permission. Your su session should be still running.
5. Uninstall Kinguser app.
6. Go back to the su session and run following commands to replace su and cleanup:
Code:
cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/su && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su
busybox chattr -ia /system/bin/ddexe
busybox chattr -ia /system/bin/ddexe_real
cat /system/bin/ddexe_real >/system/bin/ddexe
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/ku.sud
rm /system/xbin/ku.sud
rm /system/xbin/pidof
7. Install Supersu apk
8. Open Supersu apk to update files.
9. Reboot.

is there a way to make game hacker and lucky patcher have root access from KingRoot? Root Explorer works so why aren’t they?
Pay for your apps! Not cool.
