6P Root on a Mac?

Since there has been some time since this posting, is there an update on rooting the Nexus 6P? It appears WugFresh and Cyanogen have thrown in the towel .

Is there any good news for those of us using a Mac to root the Nexus 6P 6.0.1 version? I'm 68 and would like to get this done but if no one is going to take on the challenge I guess I'll just have to give up too.
[Nexus 6P General] Heisenberg:
Rooting your device is essentially the same process regardless of the kind of computer you're using. You need to install the Android SDK on your Mac (this will give you adb and fastboot), and you need to make sure the platform-tools package is up to date. Then all you need to do is follow the instructions in my guide:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

The commands are slightly different, you need to prefix them with "./" I believe. So the PC command for flashing a recovery is this:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

And it becomes this on a Mac:

./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Coming from an LG device, I kind of miss the dual window feature. Is there any way to bring dual window for 6p?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewM3:
I was on a marshmallow rom with my oneplus one and this feature is easily implemented. Just remember with root just about anything is possible.

Edit your build.prop to have the userdebug build type.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperSmashedBro:
Add "persist.sys.debug.multi_window=true" at the end of the build.prop. That's it
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pahardie:
Thanks for this works great.

Can see why it's a hidden mode though, the implementation is a bit of a mess isn't it? Pretty glitchy.

I had a s6 before and this feature was very well done by Samsung.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rice923:
Once we edit the build prop, how do we put it to use? I'm highly interested in this.

Edit: I'm also trying to use ES File Explorer to edit the build.prop. I found two build.props; one file has way more code than the other. Which one do I edit? And ES File Explorer is telling me that there is an error when trying to save the edited build.prop. Any insight?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puritan007:
Just use free tool build prop editor. Click edit, go to bottom paste that line in, save reboot go to settings, about phone, tap build number 7 times, go to developer options, scroll down until you see multi window, enable, accept that it's beta. Now when you select recents each window had shapes on top left, this is where you chose what goes where

This is app developer issue, the way Google incorporated it the app needs to be compatible.

Sammy uses their own interface TouchWiz and their multi window works totally different, but even there only select apps would work right?

Edit:... I'm not rooted... Is that the problem?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If I activate multi window, do I have to deactivate or do anything before updating firmware? I'm rooted twrp stock.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pecata:
Yes, it is...you need root permission to edit the build.prop and save it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rice923:
Yeah I figured that's the problem. This is the first phone I haven't rooted in years and I forget how nice root is.

All right, time to get busy then
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puritan007:
Yup, I highly recommend systems less root is very nice even though it's still beta and a bit difficult to set up is worth it

No. It will just get reset to off on update and you will need to re enable it after the update.

[LG V10 Accessories] dzlove98:
Alright guys I need some help understanding why people are buying cases for this phone.

First of all, it is supposed to be more durable than other phones, which mitigates the risk of dents and chips from accidental falling.

Additionally, this is a phone with removable back and replaceable battery! I thought people buy this phone so they can easily swap out battery and get additional use time, but you cover it up with a case??? Which makes it a lot harder to swap and you have to constantly remove the case for each swap.

What's the purpose of all this???
[LG V10 Accessories] planetbeen:
The only case type that I would think would be a pain to remove would be an otter box type case where it has a front and a back.

Any case that just covers back and sides should be pretty quick to remove. I'm thinking of getting a UAG case when they are available.

Most of the cases people have been getting so far seem easy enough to pull off quickly for a battery swap.

Sent from my pretty nifty brand new LG V10
[LG V10 Accessories] mingkee:
Don't forget the steel bars are scratch prone (ouch!!!)
[LG V10 Accessories] ljg600:
Cases are designed to protect against the unexpected...and marketing hype. A Gorilla glass 4 screen will scratch and shatter. The marketing hype is both from companies like Corning and the screen protector/case manufacturers. If protection levels were truly high enough- manufacturers would offer replacement/repair guarantees, similar to the Droid Turbo 2"s screen guarantee. Most manufacturers user guides recommend protecting their devices.

Another obvious example is water damage- which can take place well short of immersion.

Luck and common sense are your best forms of protection- and sometimes both are in short supply.
[LG V10 Accessories] worldwidepmp:
I like the extra padding of a thin TPU case no matter how durable LG claims this phone is, it's a peace of mind thing. I am however disappointed in how easily the screen scratches. I received a tempered glass protector yesterday and when I cleaned the screen I was surprised by all the micro scratches. My Note 4 by comparison had only 1 noticeable scratch after a year unprotected.
[LG V10 Accessories] techrider6262:
I don't understand how people scratch the screens on smart devices.I have never scratch any screen on any device I've owned including my sony sw3 which I have hit on so many things.I just sold my n6 that I used with no protection on the screen for a year and it looked like it did the day I unboxed it
[LG V10 Accessories] worldwidepmp:
I haven't done anything different than I did with my Note. In fact, I've never used a screen protector on any on my Android phones. The only reason I got this one was because it was a dollar.
[LG V10 Accessories] LBJM:
Any type of glass scratches easy. Dust, dirt, keys, any direct contact with hard surfaces will and can scratch the glass, and dropping your phone any any hard surface will scratch the glass. The people that don't notice the scratches must have bad eye sight. Gorilla glass is only damage resistant (not proof) go check the web site for yourself.

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/
[LG V10 Accessories] techrider6262:
I'm just go by my own experience I have sold every phone that i've owned to date with no scratches.You can't treat a smart phone like a set of car key and expected them not to get messed up and I never said it can't get scratched but if it does it's your fault.:D
[LG V10 Accessories] LBJM:
Of course it was my fault my galaxy nexus died in my jeans going through the wash, but a scratch on my screen protected glass, never! :cool:
[LG V10 Accessories] Suprasb:
I find the Obliq TPU case to be the best for this, soft, easy to remove, while adding great protection. I also have the Verus Shield, It's more difficult to remove / put back on.
[LG V10 Accessories] jdiddy_ub:
In my situation, i dont buy cases for my own sake...i buy them cause i always sell them when i get a new device. A phone in mint condition is a lot easier to sell...that being said, this might be the first phone i can remember that i am not getting a case for.

The phone is massive and i dont want to add anymore bulk whatsoever.
[LG V10 Accessories] BurtGummer:
A thin, few tenths of a mm thick, tpu case and a cheapo glass screen protector is all you really need to protect a phone. All together will cost $15 at most. It's a small investment that will go a long way
[LG V10 Accessories] Big Boy Laroux:
Agree, the obliq is a very nice case. Really doesn't add too much bulk to the phone, has a nice grippy feel. The sides aren't as snug as I would like, though. Apparently Obliq is releasing a new batch of cases today with a tighter fit.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duckxtales:
I have the Nexus 5X drivers installed properly on Win7 64bit and it shows up in my device manager as Nexus 5x. I can verify that it gets detected as I see it in chrome inspect page. But when i try to do a adb devices or fastboot devices, it wont see the phone. what could i be doing wrong?

And yes I can transfer files when I select MTP mode.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeks Empire:
Install it manually

right click on device and then select update driver then choose pick from computer and go to driver directory and select to install.

manual installation on adb + fastboot helped me several times. hope it solve ur problem too

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRAPG0D:
So for the past few days, my t-mobile LG G4 mobile data keep turning on randomly by itself. I've been scouring the Internet for the Internet looking for a working solution to my problem but so far nothing has work. And because of it my battery life has suffered tremendously. If anybody have a solution, that will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

On the side note, apparently Android OS has consumed over 270 MB of my data plan over a period of five days. Solution to this problem will also be welcome.

Remember that it might take a few attempts to get the timing right and for the phone to 'catch' sight of the image on the MicroSd card.

Timing:

soft reset and then press power and ok simultaneously[/] immediately, i.e whilst screen is blank. if you let go the instant you see bootloader come up, that normally does it for me.

As per my sig, it's (OrangeUK Wm5 ROM) always the first file on any MicroSd card I buy and format.

I used CM kernel source (branch cm-13.0) without making any changes. Only SELinux policies made build go wrong, so try to build full CM13 not building only kernel.

Just make your selinux permissive it will ignore sepolicies then. And look at the open commits on Gerrit. There are some fixes that makes compiling go through

Yeah, I don't think it is the problem is with the kernel. I did implement this WIP from Gerrit http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/117851/. I get no build errors at all but obviously something is preventing the kernel from booting into the OS. I also applied androidboot.selinux=permissive and it doesn't work either. I'll keep trying :).

Hi Everyone,

I have a 64 gig aluminum Nexus 6p. I'm coming from a note 5 after reading all the reviews about this phone and the improvements in the camera. I was recording video of my daughter today and I've become accustomed to taking pictures while recording video. I dont see that option. It wasn't brought up in any of the reviews that I sawsaw. I thought that it was a basic thing. Is the a Hardware or Software limitation? Can you recommend any apps that I can buy that will allow this if there are any out there?

Hi.

I have an unlocked and rooted Samsung Note 3 (SM9005), running a port of Paranoid Android 5.1.1

I'm looking to install Darklord's Note 5 port, and thought - for security reasons about relocking the bootloader. There doesn't seem to be any information (other than for Nexus devices; and then literally only ONE page). This page* suggests 'fastboot oem unlock'. Does anyone know if this would work with my Note 3?

the specs are wrong

i have the ulephone be touch 3. the specs you posted are not the real thing. the be touch 3 has a 2550 mah batter, and a mtk6573 processor which is more battery efficient than the one on the be touch 2, giving the same battery time but it's lighter and with a shorter charging time (100% in about 75 mins or less), it has a better rear camera lens and a better touch id pad (they refer to it as "4th gen touch id"). there was a comparison in gizchina. overall the phones are similiar, if you are thinking which one to buy, the be touch 3 which is cheaper and better adept for real usage (faster charging, lighter weight etc) is the better of the 2.

Ulefone Be Touch 3 Simple Flashing and ROM Downloading

I checked the Ulefone blog to find Ulefone Be Touch 3 simple ROM, an Android installation that features only 12 applications (mostly from Google and Stock Android), meaning the ROM should be fairly light and leave you with more storage space on your device.

But you need to read the notice :

WARNING!*Installation process will remove all the data from you device. Please, if you have an important data on your device, backup your files.

It is recommended to use Windows 7 operating system, as the driver temporarily does not support Windows 8 and newer version of the operating system.

The latest rom is in this package, therefore no need to download it from website.

Step 1: Driver Installation

1. Open Driver Auto Installer folder and Run Install.bat

2. Wait until program install the drivers.

You will see that screen if the drivers were installed successfully.

Step 2: Update(Flashing)

1. Open One Key Flashing(Be Touch) folder and Run SP_Facility_DL_Tool.exe

2. Turn off the phone, take out the battery, connect your phone to the PC via USB and press Scan button.

3. After N/A+COM(x) sign appear (look at the picture), disconnect your phone, press Star button and connect your phone again (Don't forget to put the battery back to your phone).

4. Wait until Flashing Utility update your phone.

I would leave you some reviews on Youtube but I'm not allowed to post external links yet.

The aspects that I need you to rate in a range from 0 to 50 for each device, being 50 the best score are:

1. Aesthetic design (in general)

2. Ergonomics

3. Design personalisation (variety of colors, covers, etc)

4. User interface (user experience with menufacturer android skin)

5. Multimedia (quality of sound/video/gaming/etc)

6. Prestige (how good is the manufacturer's reputation)

I leave to you this ugly format so you just need copy/paste it and write your scores (remember 0 to 50) then I'll do the maths ...
