Can someone point me in direction of latest "best" rooting method? I don't need to change the ROM, but the precious root method doesnt seem to have survived a reboot. (I used CFAutoroot). Is it necessary to change recovery maybe that's why I had issue?
Thanks!

I don't want to flush custom recovery and/or ROM.
I just want to have root that's it.

Make sure your build number is for the same version, but this link should do the trick.

Sorry, I don't know. Hopefully, other Mac users will chime in.
(Do you have Parallels or something like that, to allow you to run Windows on Mac? Or even VM?)

Same process as rooting the previous build. Flash SuperSU in recovery. Pretty basic.

Only if you want to use traditional root, which has been discontinued. Systemless root patches the boot.img for you, so all you have to do is flash the zip.

Yes, if you want to root the stock ROM. If you're going to flash a custom ROM just unlock your bootloader, install TWRP, and install the ROM. No need to flash SuperSU first.

No. Unlock bootloader/flash twrp/flash rom of your liking. Just like @Hisenberg said. Make a backup of your stock rom before you wipe and flash a custom one though just in case.

Yes. It does not rely on root. Just unlocked bootloader.

Yes it does. TWRP is what you use to flash SuperSU, which gives you root.

Yeah, but you don't need root to use TWRP. You can flash zips, custom ROMs, kernels, etc all day and not be rooted.

You will have to download the factory image and use FlashFire to flash it onto your system. Just follow the links and do what it says.

Thank you very much !
you helped me alot
Once you are done try to reboot into recovery. If it fails, reboot normally and use FlashFire to flash the latest version of TWRP and SuperSu.

Please excuse me if this has already been asked but since I'm new to the mxp I wanted to know if I can root this phone using king root or if this is not a good tool to use? Thank you for any suggestions.

Nope... Unless you want a brick. None of the one-click methods will work and there have been instances of bricking.
Rooting is only possible by unlocking the bootloader and flashing a systemless root (SuperSU) manually with TWRP.

Dumb question but do you know if there is anyway to root and unlock from the phone itself? Don't have a computer is why I ask.

Hello there,
I just bought a Nexus 6P and updated to 7.1.1, but how can I root it?
Thanks
You first need to have the bootloader unlocked. After that you would flash twrp then install SuperSU

Can you provide a link to a guide here on the forum (if one exists) for 7.1.1 Build: NMF26F ?
