Unlock Bootloader without wipe? Root? 6.0

Hello,
I am looking for a smooth method to lock and unlock the bootloader on my Nexus Player. Although being it is not a phone I guess I could just leave it unlocked... I am also looking for the best current method to root the Nexus Player on 6.0. I have been searching but I keep coming across guides for lollipop.
Thank you in advance!

Unlock/root guides are similar. They are the same except for the files used.
For Android M - i use fugu-mra58k. Use Chainfire's beta-supersu-v2.51 and it requires custom boot img, can be found on his tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps...ellow-t3219344. There is supersu2.52 but im not sure if it will have issues. My NP was already unlocked so I just flashed factory,moved supersu2.51 zip, boot into bootloader and flash twrp and CF's custom boot.img. At this point DO NOT restart NP, just boot it into twrp and flash supersu (you'll need otg+mouse attached). reboot and you should be good to go.

Root Marshmallow Lgh340n?

Anyone know when will be released for lg h340n Marshmallow root

I wanna know too ??

i too

I think the only possible root method is Chainfire's systemless root.
But you need to unlock the bootloader (warranty void) and install TWRP. But as always read about it:

The question is how do we unlock the bootloader( or we just tick OEM Unlock from Dev settings) and how do we enter in fastboot mode to install twrp?

I am trying since several days to somehow install TWRP. And nothing works so far for the H340N .
My next idea is to downgrade again to v10h, then try to root (via kingroot i guess?). Change from kingroot to SU, then install Flashfire. Through Flashfire you should be able to install a OTA Update, such as Android 6.0 without loosing root. And then when you have root and the option to OEM-Unlock you should be able to install TWRP through the TWRP-Manager app. Or am i wrong at some point?
Would be nice to just have access to fastboot mode in marshmallow though...

A new version of kingroot was released yesterday. Can someone check if this version can root our device on marshmallow?

No, because there is not a fastboot mode as far as i know
Sent from my C6903 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I've seen some people with LG g4 with the same problem on MM. They can't root withou tunlocking bootloader. That sucks balls. Seems to be that the root needs to be on the boot partition, which is inaccessible without unlocking bootloader. The thing is, will OEM UNLOCK unlock bootloader? That's it? :/

Normally you can do "adb reboot-bootloader" and then "fastboot boot twrp.img".
But "adb reboot-bootloader" does not work with V20a, it just starts a normal boot.

Any luck so far?

Any News???

I would greatly appreciate if someone got a solution to root the H340N with android 6.0. Kingroot doesn't seem to support Android 6.0... :/
Regarding the "systemless root", anyone tried it with this phone and Android version?

I want to know to, and doeas anyone know how to unlock he bootloader, i have allow oem nlock ticked, but how do i actually do it, it doesn;t help that lg blocked the bootloader and recovery

root marshmallow lg h340n
Any news for root lg leon h340n?

Up, any2?

Hi,
...any information on how to apply root on this model would be appreciated, thank you.

Hi,
I successful root my LG-H340n marshmallow a few month ago. It's a mix of several tips found on Internet.
Using USB download mode and "LG Root Script v1.3", it's possible to have an access to partitions and change recovery partition to TWRP. Using the same way I change also aboot partition (with one compatible with twrp).
After TWRP installed, I use it to install SuperSU systemless root.
And It's magic now I can use my SD card and Apps2SD to create symbolinc link to my apps and free internal memory !
I have some notes and links, if you want, I can write a tutorial.

About rooting.

I unlocked my VNS-L21 with this https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701
I want to root the phone now.
In the guide it says that i must install TWRP and afterwards i can root.
AFAIK, from my experience with other phones, when i install TWRP it will mess up my current OS so i would need to install other OS.
Is that correct or if i install TWRP and then Root, the phone will boot normally to STOCK OS?

you basically need to unlock the bootloader after requesting a code for it, then you can fastboot flash twrp, and then you can root it. your phone will be factory reset, but rooted.
twrp doesn't change anything in any rom.

Hi! One way is to use custom recovery to root your Galaxy J5. To root with custom recovery you will need a computer running Windows OS (didn't work with Linux distros using Wine) and download Odin from samsungodin.com. Then you will need a TWRP-recovery, the link is here:
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/j53gxx/twrp-3.1.1-1-j53gxx.img.tar.html
In Odin, click on the AP button and select your downloaded recovery file, boot your phone to download mode (Pwr+VolumeDown+Home), connect your phone with computer and start the installation process. It will usually take less than five seconds.
Once you installed the recovery, you will be able to easily root your phone. I recommend SuperSU as your SuperUser app. The link to official SuperSU is below:
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip
Boot into recovery (Pwr+VolumeUp+Home) and install SuperSU and that's it, your phone should now be rooted. If you consider any problems, feel free to ask for more help!
Regards,
Patrik.

S7 edge I do root via the SuperSU flashable zip file via a custom recovery. Other methods don't seem to work well with S7 on nougat because the user data partition needs to be reformatted in custom recovery (TWRP usually) in advance when you want to root the phone.
You'll need to backup the phone before hand and set it up from its initial state after rooting it.

Do not use SuperSu to root S7 as its not compatible and only meant to be used on older phones. It will not work on Android 8.
