Don't use a toolkit. Learn how to do it yourself so that if the device ever messes up you can save it without a toolkit.

I used that method to do this device. Very easy to follow and easy to understand. Just take your time and read carefully!
Fingerprint sensor works flawlessly after root and recovery works as it should.

best method for rooting

Hello everyone, three days ago I bought a N7 and i find it really awsome! despite that I miss the features I have with my rooted galaxy s (backup, ad-remove..). I searched on the forums and found different answers but wanted some opinions. Which is the best/safest way to root the N7? I do not intend to flash an alternative ROM as I always did with my phone since stock one is perfect, but maybe an alternative kernel..do you think it is worth to change kernel?which one would you suggest?
Thank you for your help!
Look for wugfresh in the android dev section... works beautifully
Definately use a ToolKit as they are so simple, cuts out all of the issues you may experience and you are literally rooted before you can blink.
I USED THIS ONE
Gotta say an amazing little toolkit and had absolutely no problems what so ever, and whats more all the drivers etc that are needed, are included in the ToolKit
Hope this helps.
Better use the Nexus 7 toolkit, I found it to be the easiest way to unlock the bootloader and root my Nexus 7. I can't comment on kernel as of now, coz I just purchased the Nexus 7 and want to keep it stock with root.
Another vote for the toolkit. I used it last week to root mine and it couldn't have been easier.
The best and safest why is FASTBOOT

Wtf! No toolkits...
This is a nexus device... the easiest phone to root manually PERIOD.
Using a toolkit only becomes useful after you know what your doing.

[Q] Easy one. I want to return my Nexus 4 to completely stock everything.

Hey there people,
I know this is an extremely easy question but is there a step by step guide to completely return my Nexus 4 to stock. Completely stock. I have the OTA 4.4 update but I have the unlocked padlock icon on bootup. Bought the phone secondhand so don't know the full history.
I found this one but I don't know if there is relevant to my 4.4 situation.

Thanks so much and totally love the forum and all the helpful contributors
There is no better guide as the one you found already. Follow the steps and everything should be alright. BTW questions should be posted in Q and A.
Just use wugs nexus tool kit
I have tried Wugs toolkit and I just can seem to get it connect. Follow the driver installation to the tee and still not doing it for me.

Does this mean root on Marshallow will not be as easy as ADB?

I just read this and the part that stuck out the most to me was this.
"If you want root today, on Android Marshmallow (6.0), you’re going to need to use a modified boot image."
Does this have anyone else concerned? I was excited to get back into the Nexus game so I could power on my new 6P and be rooted 10 minutes later.
It will not. You need a custom kernel. It's fine, someone made a modified boot which is stock and just permissive, easy sauce

No worries! I just flashed the modified boot image and then Super SU 2.50 and after that the kernel I wanted to use on my Nexus 9! Everything went fast with TWRP

Nexus 5X/6P allow the unlocking of the bootloader.
The article has no effect on rooting a Nexus device. It may have ramifications for locked down devices.

That's not quite true I'm afraid, even nexus devices will need a modified boot image too now

It's a nexus. Nuff said.
I got root on stock Marshmallow. Flashed hells-Core and SuperSU 2.49 using TWRP. As soon as I hit "reboot system" TWRP said it noticed I had an unmodified boot image and offered to modify it for me. I allowed it to and it's been working fine for 36 hours now.

Yes you can root it but one more step u need to do for complete root access
they won't do anything to completely disable root and unlocking bootloader cause it s Open Source
u should do adb unlock for bootloader and then install boot img in fastboot and u good to do more...
:good:
As others have said - no need to worry.
I'm running Marshmallow rooted, works perfect.
This is only an issue with devices that have bootloaders that can't be unlocked. For now.

To root or not to.

Hi, I'm Nick and I own a Nexus 6P and I have been researching a lot when it comes to rooting a device. Now I just don't know what to do. Should I root my device now or wait for Nougat to come and then root and maybe (if they update to Nougat) install a custom ROM like Pure Nexus or Paranoid Android?
What do you suggest?
By the way I'm a beginner when it comes to rooting and/or installing custom ROMs.
I'm open to any opinions or suggestions.
Thanks.
are you crazy asking that on xda? xD but yeah unlocking/rooting the nexus is great with the nexus root toolkit (easy program to use) so i say go for it as if you dont like it you can always flash the factory image and lock it like it was when you got it
My opinion if you just got your phone go ahead and unlock your bootloader now. That's because it will wipe all of your personal data and you don't want to have a lot of work into your phone just to start over. That doesn't mean you have to root. That's a personal preference. I say use your phone for a while and if you find need to root it then root it it's a rather easy process once you get going
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
the only real question is, what do you need root for?
if you dont need to do anything special that requires root, then there is no need to root. On the other hand, if you want to do something that requires root, obviously go ahead and root it.
As suggested above, unlock the bootloader as soon as you can, leave it that way. There is no harm in doing so, and it will save you time/effort later on.

Everything you need to know is in my guide:

You're better off unlocking your bootloader now. It will completely wipe your device so backup your important data first.

How to Root Nexus 6P with NBD90X firmware?

Hey guys, before you say anything, yes I have been reading guides and looking up stuff, but every guide i read has a different step, and quite honestly I trust XDA more so I decided to post the question here:
How can I properly root my Nexus 6P running Android N version NBD90X? I don't particularly care much about trying to get Android Pay to work (think it's too late for that anyway), so any method works with me.
Thanks!
So,. I just did this. Used WUGs tool. Listed in the 6p index oage. Worked so extremely well I used it again to restore after I butchered my system UI and rooted again.

Enjoy. It was too easy.
