Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge Rooting disables Samsung Pay

This means rooting your will disable Samsung Pay. KNOX has been around for a while now and people somehow found a way to root a Galaxy S5 without shaking the KNOX detection, but for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge there is no such thing as yet.

In addition, the root allows you to give apps supplementary privileges and access to Android’s innards, which may compromise the security of Samsung Pay. So, if you plan on using Samsung’s mobile payment system you’ll have to go without root.
