Hi, can some one give me a guide on the nexus 6 p running mhc19i for no force encrypt, with either a system root that will allow me to remove apps, or a systemless root that I have to go through recovery, and is there a recovery for this version at this time other then the stock one

To decrypt you need to format the userdata partition:
Code:
fastboot format userdata
This will obviously wipe your storage so back it up to your PC first. You will also need to flash a custom kernel that doesn't force encryption first otherwise the stock kernel will just encrypt again when you boot after formatting. You need to use TWRP recovery to flash SuperSU to get root. I have detailed instructions in my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
yeh, is there a custom kernel for mhc19i

Of course, there are many. Have you actually looked?
yes, I have looked, but most of them have an aroma installer, I am totally blind so I need one I can flash through fastboot as there is no talkback in aroma or recovery mode. Even the stock no force encrypt would be helpful thanks.

You can flash any of them via fastboot. Extract the boot.img from the zip and flash it:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You'll just end up with the default settings. Why don't you just flash TWRP? Then you can install it the intended way.
I can flash twrp through fastboot, but I am totally blind and use a screen reader, so I would have to have some one around to use the twrp interface, since there is no speech there, so I need a kernel or modified no force encrypt boot.img I can flash through fastboot

Ahh, I see, that is definitely a difficult situation. So basically as I said, I believe any of them can be flashed via fastboot, but it isn't without its own work. You'd need to download the kernel zip, extract it, place the boot.img into your working directory (your fastboot folder), and use the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command to flash it to the device. This will give you a kernel that doesn't force encryption, and you could then go on to use an app like Kernel Auditor to tweak the settings once you've booted into Android. How possible is this for you?
well I downloaded fk-r12-anykernel2.zip and unzipped it and there was no boot.img inside, so, can you send me a link to a boot.img for his kernel or the stock with no force encrypt, and am I missing any features by not flashing it through recovery, don't really care, just asking, but if you can please send me a boot.img for the verison I posted earlier in the thread.
Thanks so much for your help

Apologies for the late reply, been a bit busy with my family. It looks like Franco is one of the kernels that doesn't have the boot.img directly inside the zip. There's probably a way to extract it but it's beyond my expertise. I'm in the process of extracting the boot.img from some other popular kernels for you now though, I'll update here once I have some uploaded. It might take a while because my upload speed is woefully slow.

Actually, it turns out none of the kernels have an easily accessible boot.img inside the zip. Things have changed since I last unpacked a kernel. I'll see what I can find out for you.

I'm on the same boat, but I think our answer will come soon. Today I found out that WugFresh will be updating the NRT Toolkit to support the Nexus Player. See this post.
Why not just download the image and flash it? Plenty of guides on how to do this

I didn't know that there were difficulties with 5.1.1. I used Wugfresh's tool to install 5.1.1 with the "no wipe" option and I had 5.1.1 just fine - but can't figure out how to get root back!! And I need root to expand the storage!! Right now I have a fresh, clean, 5.1.1 install on my NP.
I tried Wugfresh's tool, I sure wish it told me that it didn't work with the firmware that it had already detected!!
I also tried the Chainfire root.img that I used back on 5.0 and it seems to work until I tell SuperSU to update the binaries. At that point it basically times out and asks me to reboot.
What next?! Wait for Wugfresh? Is there another way to root?
I flashed the cm recovery from dhacker and used it to flash the newest beta of supersu. After that the app didn't show up until I installed it from the store but now it works fine
I just want to upgrade it without losing all my stuff (Saved games for my NES ROM, etc...)
Why don't you locate the save data in es file explorer and copy it to the cloud. Reimage nexus player and set up es file explorer, cloud and copy the saved data back to where you stored it.
would anyone be so kind to point me to one of the guides on how to use factory image/OTA to update from 5.0 rooted to 5.1.1? I don't care about keeping my settings, and I don't care about root. just want the latest and greatest.
thanks in advance
The Nexus Player is a Nexus device, and you can always upgrade to the latest version by using the factory images found here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. The procedure to flash a factory image on any Nexus device has not changed since the Nexus One was released, so you can look at any of the guides for Nexus devices.
Essentially it boils down to this: The factory image contains a few files in an archive format. There are a few images within that you need: bootloader (I can't remember what the name of the file is but it's something like xxxxbootloaderxxx.img), system.img, boot.img, recovery.img). Extract those images from within the archive and flash them. You do this by booting into the bootloader, opening a command prompt in the same folder that you downloaded the image files) on your PC and type the following commands:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot format cache
If you also want to start fresh and wipe all your data, execute the following command: fastboot format userdata
Then execute: fastboot reboot
Done.
Notes:
1) You need to extract these files in the same directory as where you downloaded the images before proceeding.
2) if you are using Windows, you need to install the the driver (found here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html)
3) The procedure above assumes your bootloader is unlocked. If not, you will need to unlock it (using: fastboot oem unlock) and it will wipe all your data.

Thats interesting considering both my nexus phone and samsung tablet are running stock kernels (boot.img) and rooted just fine using the above method.
Due to this phone lacking support I believe users like me, Titokhan and Paul O'brian at MoDaCo need to consolodate knowledge in a single thread. Titokhan has been posting OTA links into the "How to root zuk z1" thread and they're dotted all over the place.
I discovered today that any one who followed his guide to install the CyanogenOS test build will not be able to install any OTA if you have flashed a ZIP like SuperSU through my TWRP image. I was attempting to flash an OTA zip and returned an error saying because System was modified by SuperSU and Avast Anti-Theft OTA updates are disabled.
We need to step back and look back at how this is going to be rectified having all this knowledge placed all over the forum is making work hard for ourselves.
heres the fix- 1) using twrp flash cm recovery (if you need if find it in full fastboot zip) 2)download the full signed version of cm not fastboot version 3)boot to cm recovery and select apply update and update from internal storage 4)reboot, otas will be accepted and work

Question. If I'm using TWRP, is it possible to just flash the stock recovery with one of those .IMG flashing apps to regain stock recovery and flash the update? Or would I just be better off waiting for a TWRP flashable zip?

Wait for the TWRP zip if you want to keep recovery. Flashing stock recovery will probably lock you out without an updated TOT as the fuses likely have been changed

Go to Arter97's post in the "ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, Other..." section, where you can click the "Arter97" link that will take you to the right place.
From that link you should be at the "aura" folder. From there, go to kernels, then to latest([r9] as of this reply) folder and download the img file, not the zip.
For every update after that, grab the zip and flash it in TWRP. You should also make sure your bootloader is unlocked as per the Razer Dev site's instructions and that you've used their official PIE MR1 firmware images to convert your phone to the global variant from whatever brand yours is.

Don't take this wrong, but if you are asking "How to fastboot", i would not do anything at the moment. Search XDA or Google for that matter and learn about fastboot, and what you are doing when you perform fastboot commands. You can mess up your device rather quickly, then you will be asking why and how to fix. Take a couple days and understand what we mean when we say fastboot flash xxxxxxxx. These commands are basically flashing files like the OS, boot system, etc. I am not a dev nor do i know all the system partitions and all the proper or technical lingo. But i do know if you flash the wrong img/file from the wrong device or for another device, it will bork your device.
Again, not trying to bash, but asking this question will not get many replies, if any at all, especially how to perform a fastboot command. Do the research, then you can read on the device thread, for your device, and understand what is meant.

I'm successfully rooted using magisk. Flash a magisk boot.img, you take the stock roms boot img then go on your tablet to the magisk app then select patch a file then use your stock room boot.img. after flashing you need to flash an empty vb meta file and disable verity.
Bump
Can anyone elaborate on this process? I am running TB-X306F_S100152_210205. I extracted the boot.img and patched it. I don't know about the vb meta file. I am not sure exactly what to flash here. The one I extracted? It doesn't bootloop, but loads and works usually until I try to start an app.
I know we're not going to see much development on this tablet, but I'd like to get magisk working and get rid of the google crap.
