Note that the stock kernel currently has an issue preventing the device from going into "deep sleep" if a custom recovery is flashed (which is what this does). A fix for this issue can be found here: https://mega.nz/#!6tAEQYoI!s8VWxFlYkLQM ... swvRD32Twk. This fix will also work if you replace the recovery with for example TWRP. It still requires you are rooted with SuperSU though. If not, flashing back stock kernel and stock recovery with ODIN will still fix the deep sleep issue.If using SuperSU, copy/paste this into an ADB shell, it'll reboot your device, and the problem will be fixed. You might need to grant permissions on-screen after the first line.

code:

su
mount -o rw,remount /system /system
mkdir /system/su.d
chmod 0700 /system/su.d
echo "#!/tmp-mksh/tmp-mksh" > /system/su.d/000000deepsleep
echo "echo 'temporary none' > /sys/class/scsi_disk/0:0:0:1/cache_type" >> /system/su.d/000000deepsleep
echo "echo 'temporary none' > /sys/class/scsi_disk/0:0:0:2/cache_type" >> /system/su.d/000000deepsleep
chmod 0700 /system/su.d/000000deepsleep
reboot

ROOT:


   1. Download CF Auto Root.zip file (According to your model) and extract it.

   Notes: If you have extracted twice, then you will get recovery.img and cache.img file. But you have to get .tar.md5 file and don’t extract the file.

   2. Disconnect the mobile device form the computer

   3. Run Odin 3.10.exe (CF Auto Root Should include Odin and Download Odin 3.10 if you don’t have it)

   4. Click AP/PDA and select tar.md5 file. (Double Check if you have the correct Build)

   5. Turn of the device. Then press and hold Power+ Home +Volume Down buttons to enable “Download Mode”.
   Then connect Galaxy S6 to PC.

   6. Make sure that you haven’t enable Repartition.

   7. Click Start button and there start Samsung Galaxy S6 rooting.
   During the CF auto root Galaxy S6 rooting, S6 may reboot.

   8. Finally you can see SuperSU app installed in Galaxy S6. Android SuperSU supports installing any app, need the root access. Normally after the rooting any android device reboots to recovery mode. Unless you have to reboot Samsung Galaxy S6 to recovery mode manually.
