Even more, you must make sure you have your T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 USB drivers installed on the computer and you also have to enable the USB debugging option on your phone or you might not be able to properly ensure a connection between the device and the computer when that’s required – thus, root access can be achieved only in given conditions.

Also prepare the computer and deactivate the antivirus protection and verify if your Galaxy S6 device is charged up to 60-65% battery level.

So, don’t hesitate to take care of this potential problem from the very beginning!
