How to root now that bootloader is unlocked

I was wondering if there is any specific person or group we could reach out to to help root the Nexus Player. The bootloader is easily unlocked so all we need is root to enabled quite a few features that the NP needs (access to usb drives/keys from all apps, etc).
Chainfire is, of course, the obvious first contact, but is there anyone else that has shown Lollipop kernel experience to date on any other Nexus platforms?

You need to wait for the insecure-boot.img to be uploaded by someone.

Insecure boot.img
Insecure boot.img for Nexus Player tested and works, compiled from aosp_fugu-eng.
adb shell returns a #.

I imagine it is only a matter of time until we'll see TWRP for the NP. TWRP for the Nexus 9 was just released today.

can someone try this with supersu? Chainfire released 2.23 version for the 5.0 devices. I'd try it myself but my NP didn't manage to leave the warehouse yet.

I asked ChainFire on the official cf-autroot thread about autoroot for the NP earlier this week. He said he will getting a NP soon and would look at providing an autoroot package for it.
I like the TRWP approach a little more and may move to that for my Nexus 9.

Depends on what you mean. You say 3rd gen, I assume you are talking Apollo, correct? If so, you may be able to roll back to 3.2.8 & from there upgrade to 4.5.2, which can be rooted.

You need to be on 4.5.2 (or lower) to rollback. If your device is at 4.5.3 (or higher) you're stuck with Fire OS and no root. To roll back start here. READ, READ and READ some more. You won't find many tutorials. Don't expect to pull off rollback/upgrade/root/gapps in an evening. HDX is a tough bird; easy to brick with limited recovery options. Do you homework before flashing anything.
Good luck.

Oh never mind. I got them to rollback now rooted with twrp now to try some custom roms

Great! If you post again please include current fw level, etc. Those who responded (including me) assumed you had a newer device and based responses accordingly. Trying to get my head around "got them to rollback" and "now rooted with twrp". Rollbacks usually don't conclude with twrp unless you start at 3.2.6 or below.

Well it was the 3rd generation Apollo with 4.5.3 on it. Contacted customer service told them it had all sorts of issues he went ahead pushed back a roll back to 3.2.8. Then I went ahead and rooted it using the KFHDX toolkit. Originally safestrap wouldn't boot into recovery until I updated it to safestrap-Apollo 3.75-0s3.2.4-b02. Now have twrp was able to flash thro-gapps-installer1.zip. also disabled OT updated.

Thanks. Some important tid-bits in your post:
- Amazon rolled back an Apollo (!) which they have been reluctant to do of late. No one has been able to capture the 3.2.8 OTA image which would be a tremendous help to users who are marooned at 4.5.x. While it may be too late can you fire off a PM to @ONYXis as he has a method for capturing the image file? Thanks in advance!
- You referenced 3.2.8 and twrp. Do you mean Safestrap which is derived from twrp? If you indeed have twrp installed with 3.2.8 then you have accomplished something that no one else has!

The version of safestrap I used was deprived from twrp it looks like but boots into it and lets me flash and put custom roms on. Just fired off my pm and about to do it for him hopefully I can capture it.

Okay had to do it twice but he should have captured it at least one time hope it works for everyone.

Android 5.1.1 update available... for Verizon Note Pro 12.2

With 5.1.1, many other changes also coming to tablet. Like, Reactivation Lock, Download booster, etc. and Stagefright fix ofc.
Full changelog at source below.
The build no. is P905VVRUANK5 and P905VVRUBOH1.
-- SOURCE

Would you believe my first VZW Note Pro 12.2 is arriving today? Yes I am late to the party but it's on FedEx truck for delivery now. This is my first Android tablet. You JUST made my day! Wow what timing!
Edit : I hope this is true. Source page gives a not found 404 error
Edit Edit: the URL had an error. Here it is again:

I am simply beside myself on the timing of this upgrade.

Did the upgrade this morning. Bit of a heart stop when it sat at the Verizon screen for about 5 minutes on the reboot, but then it finally brought up the updating apps screen.
Only problem I've found so far is that for some reason, it removed just about every one of my purchased apps. All the free ones were there, but had to go out to the store and re-download all those I had bought. Strange...

Verizon Messenging crashes for me, but if I uninstall the Verizon Messenging app update it will work. Other than that 5.1.1 working thus far.

How in the world did the Verizon version come out before the wifi?!?! Verizon is NEVER first... They are usually dead last! As with my note 4....still on 5.0.2 several months after the release of 5.1

I too am awaiting confirmation on this before updating

I have the update.zip if it will help any devs with root or bootloader unlocking. It seems the update is a 2-parter, I have the the first update which according to the description "prepares your device for the 5.1.1 update." Please contact me if anyone can use it

Due to some new policies at work, Rooted devices weren't allowed to be connected to our E-mail, so I went ahead and took the plunge to 5.1.1 without worrying about rooting (gasp....did I just say that?). Anyhow, this thing feels like a new device. Much smoother, more responsive and it seems that the battery life is actually improved. IF Root does come along for the 5.1.1 update, I may root it and just use one of my other tablets for work, but I'm pleasantly surprised how well the NP runs at this point. Also...REALLY surprised that Verizon actually had the 5.1.1 update.

Hi - I just got my NP today delivered and got the new OTA update. Can you provide any of the root methods that previously worked for you on the P905v? You stated that your job doesnt allow the rooted device but I am wondering if this one can be rooted still any way? I want to run linux deploy on here to run Fedora or Ubuntu but always end up down a rabbit trail with this setup that I can never get out of
Thanks for any help!

I don't think there's a root yet for the Verizon variant, and I've not actively searched for one at this point. It was needed while the Tablet was on 4.4.2, but 5.1.1 gives me enough control not to worry about it too much right now. Before I used Towelroot, which will NOT work on the new version.

Thanks for the feedback!
I have a specific reason to root and thats to use linux deploy so I can have a fully functional Linux OS on my tablet which would be really ideal so I think the root is still required. What control did you gain in upgrading to 5.1.1 ? Linux deploy needs root and SELinux permissive, from what I can tell, to use a loopback device and install the Linux OS there so I think even if I did get root, I'd still need to custom compile a kernel and to that end, I am not too confident in possibly bricking my brand new tablet. For now I seem to be able to settle on a VNC session to a Linux VM I have on DigitalOcean

i'm totally excited that my NP will eventually be updated to 5.1.1 it's just i'm still completely confused on why my stock (no-carrier) branded NP is still on 5.0.1, when Big-Red carrier is rolling out 5.1.1 to their devices.
I think I can smell the money being transferred to Sammy for Bid-Red's propriety rollout.

I've actually noticed less bloatware, and apps that I couldn't disable before (which is why I rooted so I could get rid of them), I can disable now. I have a 128GB card in it loaded with Music, Books, Images, and on 4.4.2-the device would often F/C which it's no longer doing. I've also noticed that the micro-stutters as I call them, are gone. Everything is a lot smoother.

Trust me friend....I was just as surprised when my Verizon Tablet had the update. I read about it while at work and told my Team Lead that I MUST go home right now, work from home or something, but I gotta leave NOW.

Do I have to throw my Verizon SIM to get the update or can I just keep it on WiFi?

Mine came over Wifi but I've always had my Verizon SIM in. Not sure if there was a pre-check before downloading.

I'm upgrading my rooted tablet now using Kies (I figure the upgrade is worth risking losing root--but I'm not sure it'll work anyway since I outright deleted Knox). I'll let you know if TR works to re-root, or if I lose root in the first place.

Wow Asus working overtime

Not really, this happened with last update too.

Someone tried rooting this system? I have bootloop after every attempt :/

I have noticed a better performance with release 2.20.40.164. The battery is not draining as in previous version. I am happy with this.

This is confusing. As far as I know, the 1-click root package is called "ZenFoneRootKit.zip". This is what's described in Method 3.
I've never heard of "Zenfone_quickroot.zip"...
Now is Method 3 (ZenFoneRootKit) usable for .165 or is it not?

Show some respect for the developers they are doing and sharing it for free in their free time if you don't like go make one for yourself and use it :silly::silly:

xposed v79 and root are both working for me on the 165 update. I did my typical dance to upgrade from 164 to 165:
Boot tethered twrp
Do a full backup
"install" the xposed-uninstaller
Reboot
Wait for apps to be optimized
Go into SuperSU and do full uninstall
Reboot
Let the upgrader install the update
Reboot and wait for apps to be optimized
Boot tethered twrp
Install SuperSU
Install xposed
Reboot
Wait for apps to be optimized
Because of the backup and optimizing apps three times, the whole process takes an hour or more. The tethered TWRP also requires a computer. This method of running TWRP gives me some of the benefits of an unlocked bootloader---easy rooting and easy install of xposed---without having to actually unlock my boot loader and (possibly) void my warranty. I can understand some people preferring the ease of the one-click type installers, but I've not had good luck with them.
I put up the tethered package I use in a post on the tethered TWRP thread. Some of the components are updated, and it seems more reliable than the original tethered package.

I can confirm that xposed 79 it's working. And I was able to update as usual.

What's the latest update we can use and not lose root?

I'm not well versed in this realm of rooting, but I've rooted my V20 (H918) and I'd like to update to the latest version possible and not lose root. I think it involves using some kdz file or something and flashing that, is that right? Let me know, thank you.

Wrong, you have to use this @runningnak3d tutorial to go back to root...but so far, even if you are on H91010T, you can roll back and root. ARB has not yet been implemented on this phone, so you're good to use any rooting method you see fit in this forum. Enjoy!

I don't know what version of H918 you're on now, but if I'm not mistaken 10k is the last one that you can still mess up and still get root back by downgrading to an earlier version, root and then upgrade. any version after 10k will increment ARB to 1 whereby you will not be able to get root if you lose it. that said, the latest version out now is 10s and if you have root then you should also have TWRP. here's my guide for updating to the latest versions while keep root https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-h91810q-stock-rom-twrp-flashable-zip-t3681312. looking at this now, I haven't posted the 10s update file, which I will do now... keep in mind that if you update to 10s that if you lose TWRP you'll be fscked and stuck without root, which at this point could be permanently.
EDIT: 10s is a go! original post updated with link. also removing the older versions from Google Drive to free up space... if they're still needed, PM

Hey, I followed the instructions per your thread and successfully installed 10s and kept root! The bad news is that I did a factory reset immediately after and now it keeps bootlooping into TWRP. Any idea how to fix this? Sadly I didn't make a backup because my microsd card was too small and I didn't have the patience to wait til tomorrow and go out and buy one, really hope I didn't kick myself in the ass and brick my phone. :crying:
Edit:
I was able to find a fix by following these instructions:
"I had this happen to me after installing TWRP for the first time. It would keep rebooting to TWRP. This was after making sure I flashed SuperSU as well. Eventually in a moment of "might as well see what will happen" I rebooted then held down the power button and volume down. Got to the option if I wanted to factory reset my phone which I did which booted into TWRP. Rebooted to system from there which got me out of the TWRP Bootloop."
I also set my phone up again and can confirm that 10s is still good with root! Thanks for the guide and work, man. Much appreciated!
