You need custom kernel with built in recovery to use this method. For locked bootloaders, your method is useless as you will remove recovery during 2nd step. I would advise to bring down this topic as users with LB will end up with unrooted and unrootable 5.1.1 FW. You should use update via pre-rooted package instead.
For unlocked bootloader you just flash new ROM, boot custom kernel, install root.. Nothing new here

Just follow this guide. It works fine on Lollipop 5.1.1, I did it on my phone without problem, however, do a backup before you try it.

If you already have this, why not just use the PRF creator? Seems to me that method saves a couple of steps and it worked fine for me when upgrading to 5.02 and 5.1.1.

This method requires an unlocked boatloader. OP please mentioned that in your post

I don't think flashtool backups your TA partition. So if you didn't backup your TA before unlocking the boatloader, congratulations you have just lost your DRM keys forever

Lockin your bootloader does NOT restore TA partition. It just lockes the bootloader again without the DRM keys. Use TA backup to backup before unlocking. See the comment and picture above. The first three lines should say (ok)..... If u get unknown error... Its impossible to restore your drm keys.... Unless u backed it up.

awh just checked and ya its unknown error.. What did i lose when i lost the drm key??

so what exactly did i lose along with drm keys? As far as i know i lost nothing. I get the official updates and everything works just fine.

Sony Bionz X image processing engine which helps to reduce the noise etc in your camera, noise cancelling, x reality super vivid image enhancement, PlayStation play etc. There are few threads around how to restore those lost DRM protected features but I'm not sure they are 100% working.
Have a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672
Like the person above said locking your bootloader doesn't restore your DRM keys. It just sets your bootloader status to locked, which helps you to use official Sony update services such as Sony PC companion. Always remember to research before any modifications.

Honor 7 Marshmallow Root image [B330]

I've updated my device to B330 (of course), but I need root too. I didn't see a way to do this at the moment, so I've done a few bits to make it happen.
The process for rooting your device is as follows:
- Download my patched boot image - DOWNLOAD​ (ROMraid)
- Extract the zip file
- Reboot to bootloader ('adb reboot bootloader' or power on with cable connected and volume down pressed)
- Use fastboot to flash the patched boot image ('fastboot flash boot boot.policypatched.b330.img')
- Reboot device and push latest SuperSU zip (must be >2.50) to /sdcard
- Reboot to bootloader and flash TWRP
- Reboot device and start recovery ('adb reboot recovery')
- Flash the SuperSU zip
- Reboot (flash stock recovery image back if desired)
- Hey presto, you'll be rooted! Any questions, feel free to ask.
I will build this to a full automated 'superboot' (auto root) in due course, but this should get everyone going.
Note that you should not apply future OTAs after rooting without rolling back first (maybe grab a boot and /system backup before flashing the above).
Enjoy!

If you have to flash a boot image, then via recovery flash SU, what exactly is in this boot image? As that's no different to what people already do... just wondering - edit: ah ok, patched policy, it says so..

I'd also like to know this, I'm on B330 and I haven't unlocked the bootloader yet either. Would this be needed for kingroot, I presume not?
EDIT: I've just tried the app and it won't let me root through that so I'm presuming you need the PC application.

It gets to 28% and then says it can't root. I'm on b330, what firmware are you on?
Update: Ok, so it works on the PC but not via the app.
Update2: Ok guys, I DO NOT recommend using kingroot via PC when on firmware 330 as after a restart I can only boot into rescue mode. I'm wondering if I needed an unlocked bootloader first :/ After many attempts I managed to reinstall my firmware via sd card.

No worries, it was sorted in the end. A full firmware installation from the dload folder on the SD card, wiping everything, was the only way after I had that boot problem.

kingroot suxs, feels like an application that is filled with virus.

OTA update & root

Good morning/afternoon everyone! So this is my first dive into rooting and have successfully rooted my Nexus 6p. Today I received an OTA update and was wondering if it were safe to update with root, and if not, how to go about doing it if possible. I do not have any roms or anything else like that. Just a simple rooted 6p. Sorry for the extremely basic/noob question. Also thanks in advanced for any help/info!

Using the default way, you won't be able to update. During the OTA installation it will detect that device has system modifications, and will fail to install.
The best and most effective workaround for that is by manually flashing the OTA zip using FlashFire app (Search Google Play Store).
You can grab the OTA files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/ref-nexus-6p-stock-ota-urls-t3213781

One more quick question. After install, flashfire detected an OTA update and asked if I wanted to proceed. Is it safe to allow it to or should I just do it all manually?

If it did, then go with it. If not sure, then there's no problems in giving a few taps to do it manually.

Try this:
1) Complete unroot from SuperSU app settings.
2) Reboot
3) Try flashing with FlashFire again.

Yes, just re-flash the SuperSU zip. More information about this specific warning message is listed here by Chainfire himself.

Regarding FlashFire, as I understand, I can
...flash trwp with Adobe
...flash super su
...install FlashFire
...from now on flash incremental ota using FlashFire (no need to use adb)
Correct?

Sorry, I just dragged the logic out of my answer. If you unroot, you will not be able to us FlashFire, since it works on the basis of root permissions.
The correct information is here: https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/Q7YYVPwv8Fx
The most common way to by-pass that warning message, is to just continue and flash the update. Make sure that you have taken a backup of your current setup.

Yes we can flash - superuser-r275.zip in android 7 using twrp from http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/twrp-nougat-edition-t3504140
After that we can run Superuser 2.0 Beta 9.apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...11859473848826

When I follow the procedure suggested by post #1, I get the same result, only partial root.

Thanks for your reply, BTW can we downgrade to MM without unlocking bootloader? I don't want to stuck to a version which I don't like. I am not sure if Nougat is as good as MM. I like MM very much, my battery backup is also fine.
Have you upgraded your device to Nougat if yes, how do you like it? Is it worth upgrading? I don't want to regret in the end.

look for moto g 4 plus .
nougat is major update as it will solve heating issues and others .
and i am sure you will be happy to upgrade to N.

Not getting you properly, I have to copy and paste this command in CMD window and run, but what do you mean by "File will be created on given path where you open cmd"?
You want to say the command would create the zip in adb/fastboot folder?

@jack_04, Not working brother, I have tried it says "remote object '/data/data/com.motorola.ccc.ota/app_download/*' does not exist",

have you installed moto drivers properly ??

I have tried on XP SP3, I would try on Windows 7 Ultimate once I reach home.
All the drivers are properly installed, I did get the "Unlock data" means my adb drivers are installed properly.

You need to be rooted to do this. Else you wouldn't have access to the said folder

We hoped that you are aware that you can't touch the system partition without root.
BTW, this update is the same as the one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/captured-ota-nougat-ota-moto-g4-plus-t3517059

i think thats because your bootloader is locked . so you can,t do this .
btw why you want this zip file ?
