PingPongRoot is expected to run smoothly for Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. While it is not possible to completely rule out interference, users can install a custom recovery without having to go through the ODIN flash tool of Samsung.
Samsung's KNOX Mobile Enrollment is suspected to be tied into Samsung Pay. Tripping Samsung's KNOX counter prevents My Knox, a quick and simple way to secure a mobile device without the hassle of involving IT, from working properly and has formerly been used a flag to void warranties.
Instead of the complex PC-based method, PingPongRoot is comes in the form of an APK and should not trip Samsung's KNOX security feature. The latest root method of the Samsung Galaxy S6 uses an exploit that works with several Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge handsets, as well as some models bearing AT&T and Verizon brandings.
For smartphone users looking for a little more protection, Samsung's KNOX is a useful initiative but it does not necessarily fit those who want to tamper with their gadgets, according to Android Authority.
Meanwhile, two photos reportedly of the Samsung Galaxy GS Active show the front and the back of the smartphone in black color scheme. The sources of photos revealed it will display the model number SM-G890A, GSM Arena has learned.
Based on the photos, the loudspeaker of the Samsung Galaxy GS Active was moved to its back while the handset kept the regular Samsung Galaxy S6's camera and heart rate monitor layout. Because of its rugged buttons, the smartphone will not offer a fingerprint sensor.
