Just wanted to share my experience rooting my S6 successfully.
Don't know yet if I have the deep sleep bug yet - but I will update this thread after a few days of use.

Model: S6 64GB SM-G920i
Firmware: G920IDVU1AOD1 (Updated OTA before rooting)

Steps I tried:
- Used Odin v3.10.6
1. Tried flashing twrp-2.8.6.0-zeroflte.img.tar.
This failed. When trying to go into recovery mode (volume up + home + power button), I just went to normal recovery.
My phone was still functional at this point - but no custom recovery and no root.

2. Tried flashing "CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltedv-smg920i.tar.md5"
This resulted in my phone being stuck on the black and white Galaxy S6 boot screen.
Luckily I could still get into download mode (volume down + home + power button). I had to do volume down + power for 6 seconds to hard reset the phone as you can no longer pull the battery out.

3. Then i tried flashing "CF-Auto-Root-zerofltetmo-zerofltetmo-smg920t.tar.md5"
The phone rebooted, then rebooted by itself a 3 times (without reaching launcher), then finally the launcher/lock screen came up!
I downloaded Root Checker and confirmed that I now have root!

I hope my experience can help others out there....
Happy rooting!
