Its a masterlist, not all software. But anyway, creator did not answer last half year on his own homepage forum, so...

And what about my question, few posts later on previous page, can I use it for 6.0.1-7.1.1 update ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Still has been working great for flashing the latest N and Oreo roms

Yeah, stick a fork in it, Nexus Root Toolkit is dead, Jim :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cpnfantstk:
Not according to his Twitter account. He's 80 percent done the next version. He's been very busy though. I think he'll come through . Just when his time permits to finish.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mrk2815:
i agree its good for somethings but still learn adb and fast boot and do it the old school way through the command line . its much more efficient.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] MahoVader:
Something seems very odd about this. First, I really doubt Wug would announce discontinuing such notable work with a comment like that instead of a big post on the blog. Secondly, and more telling, that is not actually Wug's discus account, but apparently someone else who just anonymously used his name. See his official account here and his most recent comment:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
And... his website www.wugfresh.com
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MahoVader:
Exactly!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Philip:
Indeed - if you look at previous comments by WugFresh (e.g the one from 3 months ago saying that he was working on it) , there's a "Mod" box next to his user name, whereas the recent "I quit" comment doesn't have that, so almost certainly a different, and probably troll, account.

Hello, i have nexus 6 version 7.1.1 build number is N6F27M how to i can root it ?

Thanks..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jbaumert:
The short answer is to install a custom recovery i.e. TWRP and then install Magisk. Read through the stickies in the Nexus 6 "General Area" - https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general - The info is probably a bit outdated, but should be able to walk you through it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] falc10:
Thanks for the answer..

I will try..

"A week " and "7 months", so ...it's dead...

I read, people still successfully updated to latest 7.1.1 (N6F27M, Oct 2017) and de-encrypted and rooted it with toolbox, only need to update TWRP to twrp-3.1.1-0-shamu.img.

Is it true? Somebody tried?

Hello All

I am trying to use using Wugfresh to root my Nexus 6 on windows vista using parallels

I successfully loaded Wugfresh and I can open it up

when I do this little message pops up on the bottom of the screen

"Starting ADB daemon "

then immediately after I get this popup on the bottom of the screen

"Can't Access update server"

Is this a problem for using wugfresh?

I have internet service because I downloaded security updates
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iamfarhanansari:
Can i flash factory images using this tool
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HTCuser3:
Wugfresh does not reply I am not sure they are doing support anymore

So I am hoping someone here can helo
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
This tool will download and flash the latest factory image for any Nexus device. I have it installed on my laptop. You can either do it automatically or manually using it's advanced tools. It also unlocks and relocks bootloader, roots and installs TWRP. I would recommend learning fastboot commands as tools like this are not always up to date.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] spainter:
Great tool for Nexus devices. Hope to see updates to it for the Pixel line, Android O & P.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iamfarhanansari:
Do i need to install anything else other than this toolkit

I am asking because i tried flashing stock firmware on my nexus 6 using this toolkit and other toolkit

But failed flashing

Lots of commands were running

But after finishing phone doesnt start

I can only turn my phone on in fastboot mode

Please help
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
You need to make sure you have adb/fastboot files installed on your computer. If I had your phone in my hands I could probably fix it relatively quickly. You need to figure that out yourself. Hands on experience is sometimes the way to go. If all else fails, fastboot commands will be your way to go. Do some research and I am sure you can fix your phone.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Philip:
It's pretty unlikely - Wugfresh has said on his blog that he will not be developing it any further.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
For the Pixel 2 XL I needed to learn some basic flashing using fastboot and adb. Works great to the point where I don't need the toolkit for nearly all tasks. It was a learning experience, but not bad.

Not bad, at all!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
Roms get things faster than ota's do, with all the leaks out there, if you are rooted, you will get it before it's released.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mahapederdon:
It's a nexus. You'd be missing out if you didn't root it. That's the beauty of this phone. So many possibilities.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] SoCoCapricorn:
Alright thank you, well since i havent rooted in awhile could you point me in the directions of a good topic for rooting sprint N6, what is a good root tool? Good rom? Etc.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
1. You are already in a thread with the best and easiest root method. Download the tool from the op. Unlock, root, flash custom recovery, and I would decrypt now if I was you, but that's just my opinion.

2. I'm bias when it comes to your answer for a rom because I'm running Slim Rom, everything is new right now and I don't have a "best rom" answer really, they all have something going for them, I've been with slim since the Droid X and know what it's capable of doing and how to work with it so that's where I find it best for me. You have a nexus so "carrier specific roms" don't exist, one section of roms to rule them all!

Posted from a Nexus 6 running Slim Rom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] SoCoCapricorn:
I guess i didnt notice this was the best root tool. Thank you. And what is the difference between decrypting and not?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
Encryption is what we have on stock and it's forced in the N6, it's a security feature. It encrypts your data to protect it but it's also a PITA and causes slow speeds of read and write. I don't have any info on my phone that's going to endanger the world or my life so I don't need that feature lol. Having it off makes it read faster and write too, also gives us more options when it comes to flashing roms and kernels and such. Beware though, to decrypt means that it will wipe your phone and you will need to start over, so transfer all your important stuff to a pc first. Flashing a rom will start you over too (accept it doesn't wipe your media stuff out) so I would just decrypt now and save yourself from misery later.

Posted from a Nexus 6 running Slim Rom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] SoCoCapricorn:
Oh that does sound like a pain... I will most def decrypt. Does this tool on this thread decrypt or do i need another tool found elsewhere?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mahapederdon:
+1^^^
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
I believe it was in the last update so I will go look if it's there, I'm sure I used this tool for everything (unlock, root, twrp, decrypt)

Posted from a Nexus 6 running Slim Rom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] SoCoCapricorn:
Okay, thank you! It has really changed since i last rooted, which was on my samsung galaxy nexus. I thought it was complicated then. So much more to do now, but looks like less bugs now a days.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
Open toolkit then hit launch under advanced utilities, then open boot kernel under fastboot flash to decrypt.

Are you unlocked already?

I did it in this order.

1.unlock (wipes everything out to stock out of the box)

2 . root

3. Custom recovery

4. Decrypt

Then I ran stock for awhile since a rom wasn't out yet that I wanted yet.

Posted from a Nexus 6 running Slim Rom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] SoCoCapricorn:
I havent gotten the phone yet, it ships in tomorrow, im just trying to get a plan and be ready for when it comes in, and if this tool can do it all that would be awesome.

Do i have to find a kernel or can i just stay with the one thay comes on the phone? Or will doing this tool wipe it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alexia Whitehurst:
I didnt see this question asked, and i did search.. And i also didn't see it in the FAQ section..

I just bought my Nexus and went ahead and rooted with recovery... All went as expected.. But i did see a system update after.. And while i know its nothing but bug fixes, i did want to take it.. So i need to go back to stock.. My stock build shows LNX07M (T-Mobile).. The only back to stock option i see in the tool is LRX210..

I dont want to assume anything, so if you would please confirm that LRX210 is okay to use as back to stock?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
Oh ok, we'll, this tool does everything and when you open a option a pop-up comes up and tells you what you need to do before continuing on, you can't go wrong if you follow the steps.

You can keep the kernel, this tool gives you a custom stock kernel to allow decryption. I'm running a custom kernel because I like more control over my device than stock will allow but you don't t have to flash one.

Posted from a Nexus 6 running Slim Rom

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

Lrx210 is the updated stock I believe since that number is higher than the one you have. So, flashing it would update you to the latest version of stock.

It's a NEXUS! So of course you root it! Unlock the bootloader! Choose whether to decrypt. Flash custom recovery. ROMS AWAY!

Oh, did I forget to MENTION? : It's a NEXUS!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mahapederdon:
Yep. It's on the exact opposite side of the spectrum as iPhone. Root that hawk.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alexia Whitehurst:
Thanks much.. A few others on my G+ stated their build numbers didn't change with the update.. So I will hold off pending true final confirmation.. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] LucidAce:
Thanks Wug! I've been off the Nexus (phone) train since I gave up my GNex daily driver over a year ago, and your kit got me rooted with custom recovery (and no-force encryption) even easier than I remember. Bonus thanks to all the people posting questions and answers in this thread; you helped me complete the process without any guesswork.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coryjeb:
No response the first time, so...

Ok, I got no response the first time (quoted), so maybe I wasn't clear on the issues. So, here goes, hopefully more clear...

I downloaded the program and everything went fine with that. Then, it had me put in device specific stuff, all fine. Then it wanted to update some stuff: modified boot img, TWRP recovery, and chainfire superSU. The first two updated successfully and say "ready". However, the chainfire superSU downloads successfully, but it says "hashcheck-mismatched". So, I tried the manual updating (as the program outlines) and it still says "hash-invalid" when I choose the zip folder. Am I supposed to pick something in particular out of that zip folder, or the whole thing? Please advise.

Not wanting to mess anything up, I haven't done anything else with unlocking, rooting, etc. I have, however, went through the full driver sequence to make sure that was all ok.

As I said in my first post, I'm a total noob to this stuff. Awaiting responses before I proceed... Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
The super su is initially installed when you root your device, then you get updates for it from the playstore. I'm running su 2.36, that should be what's on your phone.

When you say "trying to update it" are you trying through the toolkit or so the store?

Posted from a Nexus 6 running Slim Rom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coryjeb:
Thanks for the reply.

When I open up Wug's program on my computer, it immediately tries to update and then that "hashcheck-mismatch" thing happens. I have done nothing via the Playstore.

I did some more digging and have seen a few other people ask about this, but Wug always has them respond via Google+,so I have yet to see an outcome. I also tried to "update" the toolkit via the update button on the main page, but I still get the same mismatch or when I point manually to the file (the toolkit gives you this option if the auto-update doesn't work), it comes back "hashcheck-invalid". So, something isn't right somewhere. By all other accounts, the toolkit sees/talks to my phone just fine. I'm just afraid of proceeding with the unlock, root, etc., with this current issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
Try uninstalling toolkit and download it again, set it up (add your device) and let it download everything it needs before plugging in your phone. See if that helps.

Make sure you check the box on your phone for unlocking (you know where this is, right?)

The order I did this...

Unlock

Root

Flash twrp

That's it. I went back days later to decrypt it because it wasn't an option in wugfresh kit yet. I would do that after twrp or root.

Posted from a Nexus 6 running Slim Rom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coryjeb:
I'll try that, thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mahapederdon:
Also. Maybe find the folder of what it's downloading and delete what's inside so it will re download the items. I'm not sure if his program removes old copy when they don't match.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Skripka:
Hey Wug, problemo...

I went to "Create Nandroid Backup with Custom Recovery". And it appears to have done everything fine...except export the Nandroid to the specificed directory on my computer. The backup directory on my device weighs in at 5.14GB. The backup directory on my machine that allegedly it exported to weighs in at 37.1MB.

The NRT Live Log does not show any failures or abnormalities.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] plasticarmyman:
anyone else having issues with Restore from Android Backup File?

not sure if this is a 5.0 issue or not, but my restore file is big enough to hold everything, but when i restore, almost nothing gets restored, only about 5-6 apps
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coryjeb:
OK, I'm not sure what changed, but the SuperSU file finally decided to "match" and then everything else went super smooth. This is basically my first android device (minus 3 months with a stock M8 which I liked), so all this stuff is new to me. So, my next big question is: now that I'm unlocked, rooted, and decrypted, what now?? Maybe a "I'm rooted, now what" kind of thread and/or webpage? And I'll surely take some various user input, too.

Thanks to Wugfresh for a great toolkit, especially for a novice like me!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scothern99:
So if I just want to load a custom recovery and not wipe the device, I use this tool? BTW, this is awesome. I used to unlock and root with no issues at all. Don't know why I didn't flash CWM at the same time. I guess i was just tired. LOL. So is it possible to do without wipe? What steps to do it proper?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mahapederdon:
Titanium backup is a great tool to backup apps and free unused ones. Although this phone doesn't have much to get rid of. Keep an eye out in themes and apps and development sections to see if you come across anything you'd like to try. My first year here I just read everything I could. Now I have a decent understanding on what to do. Good luck man.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coryjeb:
Thanks, will do!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
Just flash twrp in the tool kit, it won't wipe your device, follow the pop-up steps and all will go as planned.

You can use the root method and check the box for custom recovery (it's Ok to root over root)

[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
The only things that wipe everything are unlocking bootloader, and decryption.

making a nanoid backup

Need some help, I used the toolkit to install root and recovery. I want to make a nanoid backup using the tool but in recovery (tw) its asking for a password. can i bypass this? any help is appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheJesus:
So, if I unlocked bootloader, rooted, and installed recovery (but didn't decrypt) before I got the OTA, is there any way to install it without wiping the phone? I have so many apps and settings, I just don't really want to deal with TB if I don't have to.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
From the op.

Note: At this time we do not have a GUI representation for pattern unlock. You can still decrypt patterns though by translating the pattern dots to numbers. The pattern dots correspond to numbers in the following pattern:

1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9

Late reply, but I ended up trying again and it did it all for me easily. Guess something weird happened the first time and it hung up within TWRP without flashing anything.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] selayan:
So Moto sent me 32gb white instead of 54gb. Flashed stock image using this tool and did fastboot erase userdata and cache and it still shows only 25gb free. Oh my god!! In bootloader it says 32gb.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Interesting. I had to look it up. I didn't think this would ever happen because the tool is using a local copy of adb.exe and fastboot.exe, but I guess I need to add in some extra stuff to deal with this unique circumstance.

In my best guess, in addition to Nexus Root Toolkit (assuming you are running v1.9.9), you also

1.) Have the SDK Installed

2.) Have some other kit installed

And in either/both circumstances, there is an outdated copy of adb.exe/fastboot.exe on your comp that is set to your systems environmental PATH variable.

To fix this, either

- update your platform-tools (in SDK manager), - assuming you have the SDK...

- Change your systems environmental variable for adb.exe and fastboot.exe to point to a directory with the latest versions of those tools.. like NRT's /data directory.

^^ If all of this sounds like gibberish to you, then hit me up on google hangouts chat, and I will try my best to assist you when I get a chance.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Try a fastboot format userdata. I am not sure how much space the OS takes up (I haven't decided to grab an N6 yet myself), but 7gb seems like a lot. Maybe other users can comment on how much space they have on a fresh device.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 6 Android Development] selayan:
Thanks bud your tool is awesome. I tried that but I think moto sent me the wrong phone. Boot loader shows 32gb variant.

I'm trying to root and install TWRP. I was getting a mismatch when downloading, so it had me download manually, which is fine. I downloaded both the TWRP and Chainfire SuperSU files, but the link for the modified boot img seems to be incorrect, I get a 404 error. Anyone have a link so I can download that?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Can you be more specific, there are like 2000 modified boot.img's
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dmbfan13:
Sorry, I was looking for:

modified_boot_shamu_5.0.0_LRX21O.img

However, I did end up finding it. I forgot I had previously downloaded it. However I found that if I clicked the "browse" button to locate it manually, it still failed saying there was a mismatch. I had to manually put the file in the folder location that the toolkit looks for modified images. Ran the script again and now successfully installed TWRP and rooted. Hope that makes sense.
