Error code 0X13DC4A with KingoRoot APK, fails at 90%. PC version fails as well. Framaroot will start with the prompt that it won't work. Kingroot doesn't work either, but there's 764 requests for a root made to the developers. SRSRoot will not work either. I get same result as nischal31 running the ADB fastboot. I can't find another method that supports 7.0 that doesn't require TWRP so that's it for now.

I tried these on my phone right out of the box with no system update applied. I guess running the Amazon app store, and the rest from .apks is as good as it gets now.

Happy to try any method you guys can think of.

There's a system update containing 2017-03 Security Patch, not sure if I should install or not, if it'll hamper rooting efforts.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] andro28:
hi guys,can u just go to fastboot mode and type "fastboot oem device-info" and give me the results here.Because if bootloader is not unlocked,the device is encrypted so no partitions will be detected.So first send results then we can think of rooting,without unlocking bootloader no hardware partition can be excessed,but in some devices even on locked bootloader everything can be done and sometimes the bootloader is already unlocked,so give results of that adb command.

Rooting - who cares

Not interested in rooting, all I want is bog-standard Android. With no bloatware added, that will do me.

I've tried to upgrade from various markets/countries using TorGuard, but so far no luck.

The device is supposed to hit other markets late April - early May I think, just have to wait and see.

I have found some app and commands to get root, only then you can remove bloat water.

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Make.Sense:
The reason for wanting to root it so badly is that currently that's the easiest way of getting there. Root will allow us to get all the Google Services installed and remove all the bloat.

You mean you have Root access on your Nokia 6? If that's the case, a lot of people would be very interested in that information, myself included.

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Ryujin2017:
How can you be so sure it will work on a Nokia 6 if you do not have the device? I tried alternate root methods for other devices and got nowhere. The bootloader is locked and nothing can be flashed to it either. I think we have to wait for the global release before this really gains traction.

How did you get fastboot commands to work? Which driver did you use? adb is working for me but fastboot isn't. Any idea why?

there is an update from nokia,7.1.1 how can i find the link and download it .so we may unzip the rom file.and then...
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Make.Sense:
Yeah, I've been looking around to see if there's a method to capture the download file. It downloads to a folder called cache, and you can supposedly save the folder to your computer by using "adb push /cache".

I haven't tried yet if the phone allows that, and I doubt it will, but if we get hold of the file we can modify the update and then apply it manually via the default recovery. Applying a modified update has worked on other phones in the past, but it also doesn't work for a lot of phones due to signatures and what-not. If we can get the update file it's definitely worth a shot to add in Google Services and some other goodies.

A crippled Nokia Android phone!

I can't tolerate the Nokia 6 - a crippled Android phone any more! After supporting Nokia phone for 20 years, I have just bought a XiaoMi RedMi Note 4 phone yesterday. It works better than the crippled Nokia 6 and only at half the price.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] surya467:
how can u say its crippled? Nokia 6 has play services in the US variant. The china variant like all phones dont have play service, its not vaild reason to say crippled.

If you dint see, the US version has play store.

Nokia 6 from Hongkong also have Google Playstore and services.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Make.Sense:
This is the update file for 7.1.1, build 00CN_3_170. We can manually apply the update by booting into the default recovery and applying it. Now I'm wondering, is there any way we can try to modify this update and see what else we can put inside? Since the update has root level access, if we could get things installed with it that would be great.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/y68lg3kf03gl2no/update.zip?dl=0

Irregardless, it also contains the default boot.img and recovery.img. There's also a utility here if we need to sign the file.

Anything useful we can do with this?

Thanks. A lot of interesting stuff there. Having stock boot/recovery images makes e.g. building TWRP recovery possible. Only if this device had unlocked/unlockable bootloader... Someone could try fastboot boot these stock boot/recovery images to see if that works, though.

Update also has bootloader image and I've dumped oem commands the bootloader should accept.

oem alive
oem HALT
oem FacMode
oem cert_timecount
oem dm-verity
oem getBootloaderType
oem LCM
oem ForceAOS
oem getversions
oem SecureBoot
oem FTMCheck
oem md5

oem wallpaperID get
oem wallpaperID set
oem unlock
oem unlock-go
oem lock
oem device-info
oem enable-charger-screen
oem disable-charger-screen
oem off-mode-charge
oem select-display-panel

Has anyone tried 'fastboot oem unlock-go' to unlock bootloader? E.g. my Huawei Y5 uses unlock-go instead of unlock. AFAIK it works on some Xiaomi devices as well.

There's also confirmation that this device's codename is D1C (Nokia D1C was rumored long before this device was released). There's also codenames for other Nokia/FIH devices (MA3, MF3, MS3, ND1, PLE, VZ1) but I have no idea what those are in the real world (some might even never be released).

I don't have this device to test anything myself. I was thinking I might get one of these Nokia devices as a dev toy once bootloader is unlocked and kernel source is available.

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] abhijit1998:
Have you tried putting gapps into this zip file and installing the zip file by recovery?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Make.Sense:
This is what I want to try, in the hopes that the system doesn't reject the update because it's modified. It seems possible to set permissions and install things as system apps by changing the updater script. But I'm thinking, why stop at Google Apps since if it'll work with those it'll work with SuperUser and other things too.

I want to try two ways, one is to replace the APKs for some more or less usemess system app and go with the original script. If the preinstalled browser is a system app that's the one I'd try first to replace. The second option is to add lines in the updater script and install it as a system app.

First way I need to extract (and repack) the update files, system.new.dat and the other .dat file and see what's inside and what we can put inside. I kind of got stuck on how to do this yesterday. The second way it seems you don't need to do any of that and just place the .apk inside the .zip, but I'm not sure how to go about editing the updater script so that the .apks get installed correctly.

Still, this is all on the big assumption that it will work. If only the global version didn't come with 7.1.1 we could directly habe tried with the global update file, but that's not an option until there's any new update files.

Edit: After some further research, it won't work to modify the update. The only good thing we can get out of the update file is the system.img and boot.img for TWRP or so.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] pryggi:
The modification of the zip probably invalidates the digital signature of the update, thus if the stock recovery allows installation of zips with only valid signatures, it will not work. You probably came to the same conclusion. And we are back to twrp and unlocking the bootloader.

If anyone has any contact with HMD Global, ask them about their policy for unlocking the bootloader.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] patchigs:
How did you guys get fastboot to work? only adb works for me
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] lszacsuri:
It wasn't too straightforward to me either that the two depend on each other...

First you have to use adb to reboot into bootloader mode ("adb reboot bootloader"), then your phone should display the droid logo and something like "Download mode" written at the bottom. After that you can use fastboot commands, e.g. "fastboot oem device-info"...

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] pryggi:
Yes, but before custom recovery you need bootloader to be unlocked, otherwise you can't flash custom recovery. Or you need root to try to get the gapps installed with locked bootloader and without custom recovery.

Nokia 6 PRC, without Google Play is a crippled Android phone ! ! !

I understand they need to block Google in China. But even China local phone manufacturer like XiaoMi, Vivo, . . . do provide way to unlock their phone for installing Google. Many users need to use their phone also outside China.

Nokia has announced products and actually already shipping Nokia 6 PRC version starting around Mar 1 and shipping Nokia 6 Global version in Taiwan /HK around April 1. Hopefully by end of Q2 they can better support the product.

I have been using ONLY Nokia phone for 20 years but my bad experience only starting from Lumia 925 - I was also an early adopter, the recording microphone stop working 6 months after purchased. Now my Nokia 6 PRC version has external earphone detection problem 2 week after purchase, I have to use Bluetooth earphone instead. I do hope my bad experience is an isolated situation.

Nokia 6 official launch price RMB 1699, "black market price" rose to as high as RMB 2400 in 2-3 weeks and I got it at RMB 2200 - today the global version at Taiwan is cheaper. Now you are lucky to get it at RMB 1499. This explained very well China Nokia Fan strong expectation on Nokia Quality and Service falling fast. The way they created the product and messy situation disappointed me - a Nokia supporter for 20 years too.

TA-1000 is listed by Google as supporting Google Play device that is why I bought the device. At this moment I trust Google more than a start up company.

If "Nokia" is used to get quick money, the branding will trashed.

Few weeks ago I have to make a decision on either to get another Nokia 6 Global version or a RedMi Note 4, eventually I took the Redmi Note 4. It is Slightly lower specs on camera and RAM/ROM, better computer than Nokia 6 but at only half the price, and running all APPs I need smoothly. My Nokia 6 PRC version is RIP in the drawer and helplessly waiting for good news from HMD Oy.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] surya467:
This is true, i just hope HMD lets us unlock bootloader, this is my main phone and i cant afford another one lol.

For me, some of my stuff is working, im getting through my days, emails, whatsapp, instagram,facebook are the apps i use everyday, camera is fair. For now im holding on.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] HGTan:
If there is no Google Play, many of my local Apps like Bus Timing Apps, Subway Apps, On-line shopping Apps, . . . . . can't work properly. Navigation / Favorites location can not be memorize on Google Map. There are different set of Contacts for different Apps - there Contacts can not be sync under one unify place - the GMAIL. WhatsApp can not backup to Drive. APPs I purchased under my Google account can't be installed. My Android tablet and phone can't be synced.

Bypass application won't run without play services at start up

Here is what I have done.

1. Download and Install the apk that asks "Application won't run without Google Play Services, which are missing from your phone" or similar type of error.

2. Download lucky patcher from here and install it on Nokia 6.

3. Open lucky patcher and select your apps, select open menu of patches> create modified apk file.

4. Select APK without License Verfication and check Remove dependencies (Removing Google Play dependencies and others).

5. Rebuild the App and wait for to complete.

6. Tap go to file and select name of apk file and then select Uninstall and install. Done.

What doesn't work ?

Through this process you are removing google play services error which means syncing google account inside of the app which you have done this won't work which includes syncing of save game included in google account. For example, I bypassed YouTube from this method, but I can't add my gmail account on it.

Hope my post might help some of Nokia 6 users at least a little.
