Iex727 is it ok after flashing 19s emmc_appsboot.mbn to unlock bootloader and flash twrp then su is it safe to just reboot back to stock 21s without issues?no passwords?
Sorry if been asked.all the guides I've read include a custom rom.
Hope you haven't been waiting all this time, but yes, should be fine. Personally i would go with magisk for root though.

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.
I am a little unclear about how to flash new images such as the recent 3.2. I want to update my shield TV Pro and not lose root.
I currently have the bootloader unlocked, which is necessary in order to apply SU for rooting. I installed SU via TWRP which has been flashed to the recovery partition. Should I ONLY install the system.img. (I'm uncertain what the vendor.img contains although but I'm pretty certain it can be flashed and not loose root.) Of course I would prefer to keep the custom recovery (TWRP) so why flash over that?
I suspect that if I flash the boot.img (isn't that what is "unlocked" with the "oem unlock" command?) I will have to do it again before I can flash SU using TWRP. This takes HOURS and I would like to avoid it if the 3.2 boot.img is unnecessary. Am I right that the boot.img contains the bootloader?

try flashfire by chainfire search xda forums app is on playstore
I have chainfire. However my main question is whether I should flash the boot image? Does chainfire patch or unlock the bootloader?
if you are all ready rooted then your bootloader IS ALREADY unlocked i have used it default settings
Hi newbie here, I want to flash cm 13 on my J500F but I have few Questions,
1) DO i need root access to unlock bootloader, to flash TWRP recovery and CM13?
2) To unlock bootloader do I have to just enable the 'OEM unlock' in developer options and that will unlock my bootloader? or Is there more procedure?

So oem unlock just unlocks bootloader for custom binary like custom recovery like TWRP in our case. No you don't need to root stock rom to do that. Just flash the right version of the recovery. Next thing is to follow cm13 installation instructions (about what to wipe and so on..).
I hope that i helped you with my answers. If you continue to have questions, ask them bellow and don't forget to quote my reply so I can find yours more easy. Have a great day.
I just flashed the recovery then CM13 and it was rooted. I have however give back to CM 12.1 as CM 13 ain't finished as yet.

Rembember: If you wanna back to 5.1.1 android you need to downgrade firmware.
Yes thanks, I used Odin to reflash 5.1 first then reinstalled recovery then reinstalled Resurrection remix 12.1. it was a good move phone is running allot better than it was on CM13

I'm on 19s, with an unlocked bl and rooted. I see that the 20s update is available. If I update, will I lose root and unlocked bl? Thanks!

I bought the phone it came with stock rom 5.8.018S. I installed TWRP and flash rom 5.9.020S (T.A.R.S by Steve/Grosshop/Google Edittion), all these rom come with pre-rooted.
Once you installed TWRP and backup your system, you can flash any rom really I haven't had any issue.
Root is easy anyway, just flash Supersu via TWRP from what I read for this phone.

Thanks for your response but it doesn't answer my question about accepting the upgrade to 20s and what will or won't happen. I also have twrp installed and am rooted on 19s. Ideally, I'd prefer to upgrade without having to re-root and unlock my bl again but if that's the case, so be it. Just wanted to know beforehand.

Sorry I was not sure it's OTA update by the system or flash it by yourself when you mentioned about the update.
Why would you accept the update when you can flash all the rom available, the update can only mess up/complicate things on your phone in my opinion.
You will get same stuff as in the 20s roms.
Based on what I have read I am pretty sure you will need to re-root and unlock the BL again (because you will need to revert these changes to actually apply the OTA, it will fail otherwise). I ended up flashing a Cydras ROM because I didn't want to deal with unrooting, etc, to receive the OTA (since I already had a rooted device and it would fail OTA).
If you want to do the OTA, then you should do it before doing any root/unlock bl. I would then do the BL unlock, install TWRP, and take a backup of the system image.
Today I Gott the OTA Update for the Lex720 for s20

That's what I was afraid of. Might as well give some of the custom roms a shot if I'm going to end up wiping, etc. Thanks!

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

Custom rom is not required for root

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.
