is there another method to installing su? my otg cable doesnt fit so i cant use a mouse on twrp
Once the boot image can be made insecure then I can make a skiproot image to root without recovery but at the moment the only way to root Android 6 builds is with custom recovery.

Why doesn't the cable fit?

I've tried to update it to the the latest module with the instructions given but it won't upgrade past 1.1.1 for me. Is there some sort of fix for this?
Can you give me more information about why it won't update past 1.1.1? Try going in to the tools folder and delete the configNexusPlayer.exe and tkmainNexusPlayer.exe files, start the Toolkit and select the Nexus Player device and the new module files should download (latest version is 1.1.5).

Updated Device module v1.1.5 available for ALL users (Pro and Public)

Changelog:
+Added Support [including root] for Android 6.0.1 MMB29M
+Added above stock image to download/flash directly from Toolkit
+Added SuperSU systemless root method for root without flashing patched boot image
+Added check for latest stock image md5 checksum file after device selection
+Made some changes and improvements to the config module code and main code

Pro users can just start the Toolkit as normal. After you have selected your device you will be notified there is an update available and can auto update. SIMPLE.

Non Pro users have a few extra steps.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE 1.4.4 VERSION INSTALLED FROM 15TH DEC 2015 – FIRSTLY DOWNLOAD THE LATEST TOOLKIT FROM http://www.skipsoft.net/?p=1660 TO ENABLE THE SUPERSU SYSTEMLESS ROOT METHOD TO WORK PROPERLY AND AUTO UPDATE THE GOOGLE FIRMWARE CHECK FILE. IF THIS IS NOT DONE YOU WILL BE PROMPTED AFTER SELECTING A DEVICE.
1. Exit the Toolkit if it is open.
2. Run ToolkitClean.exe from the intallation folder (or the Start Menu)
3. Select the device from the list
4. Type ‘y’ or ‘yes’ (without the quotes) to delete the existing module files and settings for the device
5. Restart the Toolkit, select the device and new module files will be downloaded/installed
Note: Steps 1-5 are not needed if you have not selected the device before and not downloaded module files

If you want to donate to a device project please do it through the Toolkit (after selecting the device at startup) so you get the right code fast.

Enjoy, Mark.

The issue seems to be fixed by following those instructions. Thanks

Have you tried removing the Toolkit folder, downloading and reinstalling?

Ja habe es schon komplett neu installiert aber es passiert immer das selbe. Ich habe jetzt mal ein Foto des Fensters gemacht, das erscheint für ca 1 Sekunde. Es gibt wohl ein Problem mit meinem User Profile.


Yes , there have been completely reinstalled but it happens all the same. I have now taken a pic of the window that appears for about 1 second . There is probably a problem with my User Profile .

Im guessing the "u" (with the accent) in your username is causing a problem when the program starts. As a fix you could try creating a user account with standard letters (no accents above the letter) then install the toolkit under that user profile and it should work fine.

AUTOUPDATE AVAILABLE FOR NEXUS PLAYER DEVICE MODULE 1.1.9 [PRO ONLY]

Changelog:
+Added Support [including root,systemless root] for Android 6.0.1 MMB29V
+Added above stock image to download/flash directly from Toolkit
+Updated checksum file for verifying stock image download
+Updated TWRP custom recovery to 3.0.0.0 for standard use
+Made some changes to root procedures and reboot procedures

I updated public (free) versions a few weeks ago. Someone was supposed to post that in here but they didn't, sorry. It is 1.1.8 for now but I will update it to the latest once I have completed some more updates and added the Samsung Galaxy S7 modules to the Toolkit.

To update to 1.1.8, Non Pro users have a few steps (if you have already downloaded previous versions).
1. Exit the Toolkit if it is open.
2. Run ToolkitClean.exe from the installation folder (or the Start Menu)
3. Select your device from the list
4. Type ‘y’ or ‘yes’ (without the quotes) to delete the existing module files and settings for the device
5. Restart the Toolkit, select the device and new module files will be downloaded/installed
If you download the new module files without installing the updated Toolkit then you will be prompted to update to the latest version after selecting your device.

If you want to donate to a device project please do it through the Toolkit (after selecting the device at startup) or from the link at http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=703 so you get the right code fast.

Enjoy, Mark.
