[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudynasco:
I came from samsung note 4 and rooting is a breeze! just install custom recovery and flash a kernel you are rooted already!!! but with nexus 6!!!!! jesus christ!!! its like reading thousands of pages for medical examination!!!

download this and that, open terminal command, write those bla bla bla in the command and with one mistake your

hard earned money will be gone!!!!

all posted links are not updated for god sake!, all posted links instructions are hard to understand!!!

anybody here cant explain simple instructions! you have to read 1000 paragraphs to learn simple things!

CANT YOU GIVE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER?

DO I NEED TO RELOCK IT OR MUCH BETTER I WILL TO REMAIN UNLOCK FOR LIFE?

This is the worse phone ever!

So, it's hard to root because you can't one click your way to glory? If you think rooting a Nexus phone is hard, I'd hate to see what it takes to be easy. The only reason there is any difficulty is due to security changes in Android itself.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
its extremely easy to root any nexus, as in i have no idea what world youre in.

1. unlock the bootliader via fastboot. the code is fastboot oem unlock. the setting in the developer options has to be set to oem unlock.

2. fastboot flash twrp recovery.

3. flash any custom kernel(for marshmallow) and the latest supersu in your new twrp recovery.

4. reboot and have root.

Wow. No wonder the android community is going to hell in a hand basket. Laziness is just overwhelming. I've rooted every major android phone make out there except for huawei and nexus is the easiest along with Samsung to root. If you don't have patience to read what you need to download then have fun with an unroofed phone. I'm sure if my turtle had opposable thumbs, it could root this phone with ease.

Or, you know, you can use Nexus Root Toolkit and one-click your way to glory.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
I would guess its so "hard" because computers are incredibly complex devices that work on the culmination of decades of combined development and advancement, and you are insistent on remaining ignorant.

The command to unlock the bootloader depends on your setup, but is literally just "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot flashing unlock"

Then you need to install recovery using 1 other command

then you need to flash a kernel, and supersu.

That is literally it.

If that is too hard for you, you should probably leave it all alone.

by the way just to inform everybody here, i bought a nexus phone because i thought those tech reviewers on youtube are real! Holy cow they are just a paid troll! They lie to us that this phone is ultra fast compared to other android phones in the world and i thought theres no need for me to root it. Because all i want is a fast and responsive phone not mr stutter nexus phone! The performance is comparable to 5$ china android phone! I cant believe it!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
No you can't, at least not with older versions that don't know about Marshmallow security stuff.

But that's just good that way, rooting phones and installing stuff was never for the lazy and ignorant, who are not even willing to google stuff first. They just borked their phones with "easy on click" solutions then ran here crying for help.

I used toolkits in the past but once I learned the fastboot commands and got use to them its just as fast if not faster; imo. I feel more confident and accomplished using fastboot; makes me feel more involved.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
And brick it with the version before that, that people still try to use, then come here panicking.

The problem with rootkits it that they give people the false security that someone else instead of them knows what he or she is doing. And while it might be the truth, it's only valid until a new version of Android come out with even stronger security measures and people start bricking their phones without any clue why it's happening.

Click -> click -> brick.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juggamonkey:
I think the best way for you to root is just to go outside dig a hole in the ground and bury your phone right there.. Sit down just wait a week or so until it catches root and your golden.

You do know there is a nexus toolkit??? In which you just plug in and push a button and 5 mins later you are rooted and twrp recovery is installed .. I didn't go this method .I went the fastboot oem 3 step method which is apparently Satan to you . just figure id mention nexus also has easy one click method which is your reality of life.. No charge .

wow so funny! did you not read the comments on the previous page? there is a problem using the toolkit!

this is the problem now! even you people are also confused!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrayA4T:
Sigh. As someone pointed out security has been improved. On my Samsung Galaxy 7.7 I just had to run a single app and I had root. This is a bad thing. A malicious app could root my phone if it wanted to. On the nexus you have to make a conscious decision to root by unlocking the boot loader.

Do you really want any app to be able to root your device?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
The problem are people who can't read. And they still use bold.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudynasco:
how can you root without unlocking the bootloader? bottom line is once you are rooted your phone security is not safe!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrayA4T:
That was my point on Samsung I could root without unlocking my boot loader. So it was insecure out of the box.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigstunta101:
Can moderators please close this up. If you need help search first like everyone else, then ask. XDA prides itself on being a helpful community. But what we can't stand are apparent trolls like you.

You don't like the phone sell it, don't wanna sell it, keep it and learn to root or don't learn but this thread isn't even a plea for help. Simply showing lack of decent knowledge to solve a very easy problem. Mods please close this worthless thread
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
And my very strong opinion is that these methods should not be encouraged. True, it's easy when it works, but those who need to use it, for lacking the will to learn about their phones, are the ones who don't realize that as the new Android versions arrive, all toolkits need to be updated too, and they still use them, brick their phones, then come here panicking and crying.

Not to mention it's more possible to have bugs in a toolkit, than in fastboot itself. Or what if someone links his version here that also installs spyware on your phone?

Fastboot is not more difficult to use than Odin is, and is much more safe. Just how many times I've read people accidentally ticking repartition on Odin...

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
1. Android security is getting tougher each year. Sooner or later Root will not be easily gotten. This I am looking forward to. Why you ask? Because it will keep people that have no business moding their device from messing with things.

2. You got a developer device then came to a developer forum and you are mad that things are not easy?

Getting root on the device is not hard. IT does make sure you understand what and why you are doing what you are by the time you are done.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I agree with this completely. Tool kits do nothing except encourage laziness and causes more issues for the user then it helps with

WOW! people until now you never get why i am making this thread! THIS! yes THIS! this kind of arguments are not helping to people like us (noob)! because i have read read and read about many instructions regarding unlocking the bootloaders and rooting, i read many problems using terminal by unlocking and relocking this damn bootloader. aside from that another thread are doing toolkit which is simpler but many problems occured to people who used it!!!

now did you get why the baby is crying???? the baby doesnt know whats going on in this world and even developers dont know of what they are doing!!! what more the babies in here!!!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Well then I will be honest. If you cant figure out the directions on how to root a developer device on a developer forum then maybe you need to rethink just what you are doing and why.

It really is very simple. Android 6.0 and later will require kernel edits to allow root. Now you can flash a modified boot image or a custom rom. Either way it is not rocket science. I was rooted and running 6.0 1 hour after I got the device. (still less then a month old) You have to be willing to do the research. Root is not something you do because it is cool. There are very real risks that come along with it.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
In order to do everything you need to do, you need to understand what fastboot is and how to use it. Then everything is simple. If you're not willing to understand fastboot, then you won't get anywhere here. If you *are* willing to learn to understand fastboot, go to Nexus 6 General > Sticky roll-up thread > adb and fastboot. What is it?

I wrote that thread and it makes you understand what fastboot is and how to use it. It is not guide to follow. It will furnish you with the information you need to form an understanding of it and that understanding will help you root

Thanks for the help! i got it now, successfully unlocked my bootloader YEHEY!!!!

now i need to install prerooted custom rom. do you know whats the best prerooted rom here?

can i install custom recovery first before rooting just like with samsung devices?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
Why do you want to install a custom rom? Why do you want to root it? I hope you can answer these questions to yourself, otherwise you're just playing with security for nothing.

But rooting is easy, as easy is to install any custom rom. You need the latest TWRP, that is 2.8.7.1 here: https://dl.twrp.me/shamu/

and look for the fastboot install method here:

https://twrp.me/devices/motorolanexus6.html

And after that look for Chainfires SuperSU 2.52 on XDA, or choose any custom rom, you want. If you want Marshmallow based there are a bunch of these already on xda:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development

I don't think I should or should not recommend any of these, try them and decide if you want to use any of them or not.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudynasco:
1. I want to install custom rom because the stock rom is not fast for me. and i want to install themes in it.

2. you cannot install custom roms without rooting it, and i love using titanium backup, greenify, amplify and alot of usefull apps for rooting.

3. i know how to use fastboot installation method using terminal for mac. i successfully unlock my bootloader and installed twrp using that method.

last question, should i root first before flashing any marshmallow custom based roms?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
Rooting is not required for installing custom roms. But you need it for titanium backup.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudynasco:
you mean i can flash any custom roms right now without being rooted?

by the way after i install custom recovery, when my phone booted it says device is corrupted

you may not use it properly something like that. how to get rid of it?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yes. you can install any custom rom or kernel without root,. you will need to flash twrp recovery though. root is needed for root apps, or to change system files. to get rid of the message, fkash a marshmallow custom kernel.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
Exactly.

This warning is for you to know that your phone has been altered, and if somebody else did this you can restore it to factory status. Or report it to the authorities. But since it was you who did the modification you can either not bother with it, or search for a modified boot.img, that has verity disabled. Usually custom kernels come in modified boot.imgs, so if you wanted to try custom kernels too, you can get rid of the triangle and try a kernel in one move.

Hi, I'm thinking to buy that phone, I use a lot vr headset (only for the movies) any owner of the phone try it? From my understanding if I play movie it will have 4k resolution, but what if I play the same movie in program like vr cinema, it's still will be 4k or 1080p?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfex3best:
I have the Google cardboard and I did play around with it for a few minutes. I couldn't find a vr app that actually played the one 4k video that I downloaded so I couldn't really test it.

And I haven't really tested a standard 1080 screen with the cardboard so I can't really tell you the differences.

I don't think they've got the youtube app to support 4k yet aswell so at the moment the support for the 4k screen is kinda poor.

But the phone display is something else I'd recommend the phone for this reason. :)

Fix for not factory resetting

Can you boot into bootloader? If so, flash the recent RUU that is compatible with your carrier (Requires MicroSD card) and rename the file 0P6BIMG.zip and press volume up if you want to start update (This will factory reset your device, so i'm warning you now.) After update, everything should be starting normally again.

I believe you can go into stock recovery and perform an onboard factory reset, which will set it to the right size. Hopefully you didn't restore all your apps already.
