He said this is untested. Has anyone tried it out?

Permissive Build

Only post in here if you made it.

If we're going strictly by the book, this thread should be moved to General

^ thanks

There is a :good: button

Yeah! Not going to be a test mule @Mudavo especially since there have been so many issues with the Nexus 4 variant of this root method. Rather wait for a permissive build.

Auto root seems to have worked for me. However, I didn't see the red android but the script text was there. After install, my device rebooted three times ... which was weird.

First Confirmed Root

Auto root seems to have worked for me. However, I didn't see the red android but the script text was there. After install, my device rebooted three times ... which was weird.

I would be freaking out over the possibility of bricking it so soon
First verification of working, with three reboots, hopefully that's normal.

Thanks for being the guinea pig bro, tbh I'm afraid to root until a few folks confirm but thanks. Everything working? Tested any root apps etc?

So we have to fastboot flash zip "filename".zip ?
I get this error:
writing zip...
<Bootloader> Permission denied
FAILED <remote failure>

Can we flash it from the recovery?

Google Authenitcator is an app for 2-step verification to google services and other applications that hook into the authenitcator API like Facebook or Last Pass.

Did you unzip the autoroot files to a folder on your desktop, put your Nexus 6 in bootloader and run the extracted bat file?

Excellent the day is complete root and twrp

 

[Mi|enko]

Seems to work just fine.

 

[ChrisDos]

Mine also rooted fine after the reboots. I did not see the red sign either. It is a good day.

Will try when I get home. Anybody tried tethering dun?

 

[antiochasylum]

I'm curious what rooting at the moment gains us. A few apps? Xposed doesn't work(yet). But for The moment I don't really have a huge urge to root. I will however unlock immediately. In case I'd like to root.

Besides titanium, what apps can we use?

No red logo either.
Had to run the bat 2 times, but looks good, root confirmed.
