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:

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.

It contains a stock modified boot image allowing system root and no force encryption. He updates thread for every build. Flash right from fastboot. If you need anything else feel free to PM me.

I posted that thread in General. I should have posted in dev threads but less traffic the better for me answering the same questions over and over ??
Hello,
I've flashwed twrp-3.0.1-0 onto my phone successfully, however, when I go into recovery, there is only folders and no files. How do I fix this?
U will need to delete data as in the twrp thread if u have just rooted and installed this.

Thousands of android users having this problem, when you install custom ROM and then you try to reset your phone; it keep rebooting into TWRP recovery (not system), even after you flash your ROM again.
So here's the solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSWC5MAB5cE

I'm already rooted and I tried to install twrp and it keeps doing the same. Even after flashjng boot.img to both slots before hand.and rerooting after installing twrp

Somebody please repost the answer.
I dont know if it has changed but whenever this happened to me I just fastboot flashed the boot.img and then it booted up fine

The answer for me when I had this happen in September was to simply flash the Magisk zip file from the TWRP recovery after one of the many loops that it had done
(and I had tried everything else - reflashed TWRP from both fastboot and recovery many times, re-flashed the Google Pixel full image via the flash-all.bat file a few times, etc).
I've read the guides on how to unlock bootloader, install twrp & gain root (magisk preferred) with 10.3.0 and I still do not quite understand.
This is the best Android I've had and I'd really like to do this right. Would anyone please help me? Thank you, Stephen

Thanks for trying to help, but I don't think this is entirely correct. The "fastboot boot" command was removed in a10, and an alternative method was eventually developed AFAIK.
I never did get a successful root on this device after spending a whole day on it. It's difficult because little bits of information are scattered everywhere instead of in a single up-to-date guide. And a few months ago, no one could agree on anything. Just look at how many other people got semi-hard bricked.

Fastboot boot command has been allegedly fixed in 10.3.0 and this fix has been confirmed by several people. So yes the philosophy and method hasn't changed since years. At worse you use 'fastboot flash boot' command instead. That's only one change.
You can still extract boot img from payload.bin on your computer, transfer it to your phone and use Magisk manager to patch it and then transfer and flash it with fastboot from your computer. Then you flash twrp installer as a module in Magisk Manager once your phone is rooted. That also hasn't changed for years, this method has always existed.
Most of people bricking their device are doing one thing or another wrong.

Nice instructions, But I'm curious why you think he needs them ?
all he needs is
unlock bootloader
fastboot flash boot TWRP.img
boot to TWRP / Flash TWRP installer.zip
Reboot recovery
Flash Magisk.zip in TWRP
reboot
done
the guide I linked earlier goes into great detail explaining each of these steps
He could even use the All in one tool after downloading the correct versions of TWRP and Magisk

I just want to make sure it works with 10.3.0.
I can downgrade if necessary but trying to find the easiest method.
Thanks guys for all your help. Maybe I'll post a 10.3.0 thread after this if it's needed to avoid confusion

I don't think there is the need of another thread. Many are already talking about rooting and flashing twrp.
What makes people confuse is that perhaps some of them think things have changed... And that methods are bound to an Android version.
Nothing has changed.
Fastbooting TWRP and then flashing it, is the way we do it since years. Patching boot img as an alternative is also a classical way to root.
People are blinded by tiny differences and don't see that the frame hasn't changed. You unlock the bootloader, then boot to twrp and then either you flash only Magisk either you flash twrp then Magisk. Very simple. Always with latest versions.
It's because xda threads are not moderated except for offenses, etc that many users post their 'own' recipe every 2 pages without anybody cleaning and organizing things to make them understandable. And the fact that threads are not well maintained in time, with titles and first posts instructions that can seem obsolete.... Especially on old phones like our when devs are quitting the scene without designating a maintainer

Thanks for clarifying.
Even for someone experienced with flashing and modding in the past, but I've been away from the flashing world.
There is a lot of conflicting info about this. Some say to patch boot img manually.
The TWRP thread says to install TWRP as a magisk module.
But seriously, Thanks. I'm glad I came across this thread. I thought the old way of doing things was done with Android 10, until I read this.

You can do that, installing TWRP as a module, since one year or so. So you just fastboot boot twrp, flash Magisk zip, then once phone booted back to Android, flash twrp as a module with Magisk Manager
Same thing if you just want to flash kernels, no need to have TWRP, Ex Kernel Manager or Franco Kernel Manager can do this as long as you're rooted

@Striatum_bdr you've been very helpful person here in a bit.
Since this a/b partition has come around, I have gotten multiple ways to unlock bootloader and root with my moto x4. And before I owned that Motorola, I've never had a reason to use a/b partitions. Long story short, my TWRP got screwed and I've become hesitant about doing anything with a new device. And this is the best device I've owned in many years so I have to do it right.
Unless any further issues arise, I'm going to go for it.
Thank you everyone that's helped guide me thru this.

Yeah, this is an awesome device. Only device I've been happy with since my old Samsung note 4. Biggest thing I miss, it'd be nice to have an SD card slot!
Patching a boot image is what Magisk does when you install it. But you just would manually do this.
Last question, I've been reading too install Magisk 19.4.
Does that still apply?
Apologies for all the questions (and great appreciation for the help), but the information here is scattered and at times contradicting when all I need now is a simple magisk manager and mod ?.
Thank you all for your help.
i patched the wrong image in magisk and flashed it, phone was stuck on fastboot mode. i made a mistake again due to lack of knowledge or roms and flashed another boot.img stock again, now im stuck on the screen where it says “the bootloader is unlocked and its integrity cannot be guranteed” my computer wont register the device on adb so im stuck.
Flash the stock boot image (boot.img) in fastboot for whatever version of OOS you are running.

and the thread on fixing reserve is at the very top and you shouldn't be doing anything, including unlocking the bootloader, without first reading the threads about how to root properly (and how to unroot properly b4 trying to take the next OTA so it doesn't fail), how to backup your persist.img (which is probably the most important step by far), and how to restore reserve.img after first unlocking the bootloader so you'll still get future OTA updates (info on all of which are in the top 5 threads or so of the subforums) and you'd have a much easier time and make less mistakes on what is possibly the most fickle device ever made
