Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (SM-F956B, bit 2)

• Brand: Samsung
• Model: SM-F956B (Galaxy Z Fold 6) — early bit-2 firmware
• Android version: 15 (One UI 7)
• Kernel: 6.1.x
• SoC: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (SM8650)
• Bootloader: unlockable — OEM-unlock toggle present
• Root status: rooted — Magisk (persistent)

Root methods (what works)

• Magisk: standard patch-boot flow — unlock OEM toggle, flash patched boot via Odin.
• KernelSU / KernelSU-Next: viable once unlocked (GKI).

Unlock notes

• Bit-2 builds still carry the OEM-unlock toggle; unlocking works the classic Samsung way.
• This is the last unlockable generation of this device — don't update past One UI 7.

Gotchas

• Updating to One UI 8 firmware removes the OEM-unlock path permanently (and re-locks).
• Knox trips on any custom flash.
