This is a unique and powerful root method, and the only way currently to support new phones like Galaxy S6 Edge+ and can be pretty safe as long as you follow the tutorial and use the correct files.
Still since is done by flashing a custom recovery will trip Knox and therefore void your warranty.
Also, other 2 side effect seems are the fact that the Wi-Fi calling will not work and Samsung Pay will not work. If you need to root your G928T only to be able to unlock it you can fix the last 2 side effects by flashing the stock firmware after the unlock.
If you want to unlock your phone we provide exclusive unlock for the T-mobile S6 Edge+ and Note 4 N920T at the best price.
