Galaxy S6 Edge+ G928F, G928C & G928I

The Galaxy S6 Edge+ has the same design and build but has different specs as the Galaxy S6 – it’s probably one of the most high-end devices currently out there.

If you want to unleash the real power of the S6 Edge+, you’re going to need to root and install a custom recovery on it.  Rooting your device will give you access to the core of the smartphone’s systems.  It will release you from manufacturer restrictions and allow you to install root-specific applications that can boost both the battery life and performance of your phone.  With a custom recovery, you can also add new features to your phone, both which you will enjoy and will be useful to you.  Custom recoveries allow you to flash zip files and flash custom firmwares.  A custom recovery will also allow you to create and restore a Nandroid backup and wipe cache and dalvik cache.

In this guide, we are going to show you how you can unlock the potential of your Galaxy S6 Edge+ by to installing Philz Advanced CWM recovery on a Galaxy S6 Edge+, G928F, G928C and G928I. Hence, once CWM is installed, it will be easy to root the S6 Edge+.
