Using WUG for initial unlock, Recovery and Custom ROM - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'll be getting my 6P and want to be set to go day 1 for flashing the Cataclysm ROM / MOD, and a custom kernel.
Any help on a step by step guide for using WUG to do this?
?? - Since the device will come with stock ROM - I'm assuming I can just apply the CATA MOD to the device?
In that case - then all I need to do is: (using WUG)
- Unlock Bootloader
- Install TWRP recovery
- Flash CATA MOD
- Flash Custom Kernel (elementalx)?
Any updates on whether WUG's NRT can be used for systemless Root yet? (or I can just use TWRP to flash SuperSU 2.6+)

[Q] Nexus 4 Toolkit v2.0.0

Ehi Guys!
i got nexus4 and would like mod it through the nexus 4 toolkit. now i'd unlock the bootloader with root, but with stock recovery and stock rom to have the Ota 4.3.
The question is: can i flash zip file (new softkeys and themes) with the function (n ° 10) of the toolkit "to boot custom recovery without permanently flashing it" then without having a permanent custom recovery installed? Thanks for the replies!

Having root or a custom recovery will not effect ota update. If you mod your system files (softkeys themes) the ota will not install

ok! but if i use the function n° 10 of the toolkit, it doesn't permanently flash the custom recovery. it starts only a temporary custom recovery. it's true?

Keep Root or Re-Root 4.3 - SOLVED

UPDATE - I discovered a Nexus 4 thread, followed the direction (changing as needed for the N7) and voila it worked
I created a step-by-step tutorial to keep ALL data going from 4.2.2 root > 4.3 root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390286
Unlocked Bootloader and Rooted. From what I've read I can't keep root (as of now). So what is the easiest way to keep all my data and move over to Rooted 4.3? Step-by-step would be helpful....
Thanks.
The easiest way if you have stock recovery is to revert any system changes you've made (in my case remove the AOSP browser from system apps), accept the OTA update, and once it's up and running, boot into twrp without permanently flashing (which you can do with mskips toolkit) and flash the updated 1.51 supersu zip. Then go to the play store and activate the supersu app.

Worked like a charm!! Thank you very much!! Super quick/easy! Already did the OTA update and thought it would be a pain in the ass to fix, but no problem.

I have the same situation here, but I'm not familiar with the procedure.
"boot into twrp without permanently flashing (which you can do with mskips toolkit) and flash the updated 1.51 supersu zip."
could you explain that step by step please?
I install the toolkit - which point to I have to use? and wat is twrp?
What do I have to do, to flash the 1.51 supesu.zip?
Big thanks in advance

Is it not easier to simply use Chainfires CF Auto-Root? A couple of clicks in windows and it's done.
Does Chainfires CF Auto-Root only root not make any changes? I don't want to have to reset the rom back to factory or reinstall all of the apps. If Chainfires CF Auto-Root does just root, cool.
With Mskip's toolkit how do you root? There is no choice for 4.3, just 4.2.2.
Unless I've missed something when installing the OTA using clockwork recovery it asked if I wanted to stop a stock recovery from being reinstalled and if I wanted to keep root. This just seemed to work and gave me 4.3 with custom recovery and root - nothing else needed.

I'd like my hand held too, please. Or at least link to instructions. Thanks.
If anyone wants to actually make a 1,2,3,etc direction list, many people would be grateful.

1. I'm not sure if I have any system changes? Is there an easy way to tell?
2. Running OTA update will only remove Root, not unlocked Bootloader or Custom Recovery (CWM/TWRP)?
Am I following this right? Supposing I have removed any system changes i do the following:
1. Accept OTA
2. After update boot into recovery (Vol Down + Power) --- CWM in my case
3. Flash the 1.51 SuperSU Zip
4. DONE? I'm rooted?

About ROOT procedure

Should the phone must be rooted before instalilng CR or ROOT can be install of the trough CR instalation procedure (eg magic). Thanks
Your phone doesn't have to be rooted to install a custom recovery (I assume that's what you mean by CR). However, a custom recovery is required to flash either Magisk or SuperSU.
Flash a custom recovery using Odin first, then boot into recovery and flash the flashable zip containing a superuser management tool of your choice!

Go to below link, download and flash latest fastboot ROM.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516
If that does not work, use MS tool to recover phone to factory state.
Thanks this worked for me. Was freaking out a little. The scene has really changed since I've been here.

As an FYI, in order to root on this phone, assuming you are using Magisk (recommended) you will need to:
Unlock bootloader
Install custom rom (Optional step, but also recommended)
Then flash TWRP zip (This phone, TWRP is part of the boot.img)
Boot the phone
Reboot to recovery
Install GAPPS (OpenGAPPS Stock recommended personally, but any should work)
Then flash Magisk

Correct. I edited my comment to reflect that, however since OP installed a custom rom, I put the step in since I figured he would have asked about it.

Ok so my phone currently is bootloader unlocked and rooted with magisk. So if I want to install a custom rom I flash in twrp, then flash twrp (while still in twrp), boot phone, reboot to recovery, flash gapps then flash magisk?
read the OP in any custom rom you want to flash, and the dev will have the details on how to flash..

Essentially. Each custom ROM is differrent, so make sure to read the OP of each custom ROM you try to confirm flashing instructions but that's the **general** flashing method I use. Magisk is overwritten with each flash because Magisk installs to the same partition as the kernel.

rooting shield

So i recently installed developer image 8.0 on my 2017 16gb shield, now i want to install twrp and then flash the kernel to increase cpu and gpu clock and mainly full fan control, i have read that there is no root available but with dev image which is already rooted is it safe to install twrp and the kernel and how do i do it, thank you.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/development/kernel-overclock-kernel-2-22-ghz-t3943079
There is root available, works with both the developer image but also the stock ota.
All the kernel's/modified boots there comes with magisk root.
If you have no idea how to do it, I wouldn't suggest you start doing it.
But there a plenty of guides here on the forum on how to root, flash images and boot into twrp.
I guess my question is as the dev edition is already rooted do i need to install magisk or just flash the kernel which is what i wanted to begin with. So just to twrp temporarily and then flash kernel but not install twrp, i am not entirely sure.

You can boot into twrp from fastboot.
"fastboot boot twrp.img"
Magisk is included in the kernel, so if you flash the kernel, magisk will also be installed.
I understood that part, so do i have to flash twrp after flashing kernel with temporary twrp or just leave as it is with stock recovery for it to work.

I would suggest just leaving the stock recovery there.
I tried flashing twrp and ended with a bootloop, so now I just boot into twrp instead.
