Hello and welcome to Android Central jdubasis!

You appear to be using the correct CF-Auto-Root kernel for your model of phone, G900T, and firmware, PG2. After flashing, if your phone does not boot up, try wiping the phone's cache partition in recovery mode. You may need to remove and replace the battery to turn your phone off and then wipe as per the video...

Thanks for the reply.

I wiped the partition and tried the root again, but it still gets stuck at the SEANDROID ENFORCING. Do you have any other advice? I'm about ready to give up.

Is it saying, "PASS", or, "RESET", in the Odin window? This is a video demonstrating the process...

It goes to green and says PASS. But the phone screen never changes.

 

[jdubasis]

I might just flash back to Lollipop and try the first method in the video.

Do you have Auto-reboot selected in Odin?

 

[jdubasis]

Do you have Auto-reboot selected in Odin?

Yes, Auto-reboot and F.Reset Time are checked

Just a thought... could you, as per #1.8 of 42 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide, install Phone Info Samsung and post the Product Code shown when you run the app.

Product Code: SM2G900TZKATMB

Have you disabled the Reactivation lock that on the phone?

 

[jdubasis]

I don't see Reactivation Lock as an option under Security settings.

Hey Ironass,
I really appreciate all of your help. I finally got it rooted. After many attempts, and re-flashing firmware a dozen times, I found a working SuperSU.zip in which to install via Philz. The others had my phone stuck at Samsung screen at reboot. Had to just keep flashing firmware and trying new zips til I found one that worked. Ended up using Philz 6.41.6 and SuperSU v2.76. Thanks for all your help, you are the best.

There is no CF-Auto_root kernel for the G900H, non 4G, model on Android 6.0.1, as you have discovered. Therefore, you could try KingoRoot instead.
