Who's Unlocked & Rooted - Which method or tool did you use - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sitting on the Fence, wanting to but been so many years (Galaxy Nexus) since I've done this.
Are you unlocked & Rooted ? Which method did you use, how did it go ?
I've seen the "Toolkits" - Do I need drivers first ?
Please share your experience for us "Chickens"

Just use the sticky in this thread. Follow the directions exactly. Works fine.

Lotsa good information there for sure, but that's not what I was interested in.
I've read some stuff that makes me a bit concerned.
One persons phone won't boot now, coincidence that he unlocked the bootloader attempted Root ? Dunno.
Would be helpful to hear some actual experiences that's all ...

Noob[Q] Rooting

Hi guyz
Please don't get angry, I know its a stupid question but don't want to take any risk, as I live in India and I won't be able to do anything if the phone gets spoiled / bricked.
Which is the most easy way and reliable of rooting the device?
Links to respective threads will be highly appreciated..
Cheers
Enjoy

Some guides go into more detail about certain things than others but the procedure to unlock the bootloader and root that they all describe is basically the same.
Also take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010338
It provides a lot of good information and also gives a brief run down of some of the basic fastboot and ADB commands.
You can always use one of the toolkits to root your phone but to me it's better to do it manually. You get a better understanding of how everything works and you're better prepared to deal with any issues that might arise.

Can you show the source. I really don't trust this, if it works or not. Can we see the code. I put together code from other known Devs. The package seems shady, just saying. Anybody else install this?

It's a pretty popular rooting tool use among people how lack knowledge of Linux. Btw I rooted mine use the same tool, and I'm chinese too. We don't really know what exploit they use but it seems to work pretty well.

Current version: 13.3.1.0. At first it is necessary to include in settings Enable ADB, then to install adb drivers.
Seems sketchy. So seeing as you only have a few posts...it seems you just joined XDA developers. And you have a root tool but you cannot tell us more about it. I mean if it works then GREAT but most people would want to know what exactly it is that they are downloading..just saying. don't be offended.

This kind of reminds me of the whole fiasco with Kango root, which was secretly sending peoples IMEI numbers to a server in China, even though the dev claimed to be from Canada. It was a very easy to use program to root many different phones but was eventually pulled from XDA because of security concerns. It was/is sending 'sensitive' data without encrypting it and then also sent the IMEI as well. It also connected to the internet to download 'drivers' so a virus scan was not of much use for Kango Root. That is a completely separate program which was posted by a different XDA member.
Just to be clear... I am not at all inferring the original poster has malicious intent or has posted a malicious tool. I am merely explaining why some would view it with such skepticism especially in light of previous events. I don't yet own a Kindle Fire HDX, so, I don't have to make the difficult choice of choosing which way to root the device. Virus Total reports the files as being clean, but, that does not always mean it is safe, especially if something is downloaded once the file has been executed.
If you could shed some additional light on the tool it would likely help to put a lot of people's minds at ease.

That is not actually such a bad idea, most best hackers end up working for companies they hacked and make pretty good salaries. The latest one is the guy who came out with towellroot, I hear he is working for Google now.

Actually it's not that simple...
You don't get to come here and ask for all of the work to be done for you. Otherwise it happens like with the Galaxy Grand 2, where the phone had a very good dev community but noobs with no interest on spending some time just ruined it to the point that literally only a couple of devs stayed and released CM14.
Also if you ask for someone to send you the exact guides that you need, you'll probably not read anything, and you'll get a beautiful DFU brick...
Do this: First do your homework. Memorize the model on the back of your phone, see if the software model matches the one on the back. As a tip, there are 3 models, the A2017, the A2017G and the A2017U. If you use a file that's not for your model you can start saying goodbye to your brick, or else you'll probably be days trying to fix it (or months like some people). Look at the problems that may come up when rooting and see the way to avoid those. Then look for a guide that suits your model. Download all the files, ensure that all of them work (you'll need Windows on a 64-bit PC), and THEN proceed.
If you have any doubts you can PM me or maybe the maker of the guide, but at least try to do something for yourself! I read more than 10 pages on the guide that I used just to see the problems that may arise and stuff like that. You also should be able to do that. And if you aren't, it's best that you don't try. This is not a Nexus device for you to write 'fastboot oem unlock' and basically finish unlocking the bootloader, this is MUCH more serious...

And it has been reset asking for google login info.
Any help is much appreciated.

The reason no one has responded is that the questioned has been asked and answered so many times that anyone should be able to find the answer on their own. There is even a step by step answer. And there is a video posted by Beut. But you have to be VERY VERY careful to follow it exactly. Miss one step and it won't work.

You must not have read them carefully. The ONLY way to remove the FRP lock is to use Odin to revert to 6 with the ROM ending in PL4. You won't find a way while still running 7.
edit: BTW, once you remove the FRP lock, the tablet will update itself, OTA, back to the latest 7 from Samsung. So, don't worry about using 6 to get rid of the lock.

What difference does it make what firmware the tablet is running now? In order to remove the FRP the tablet has to be set back to the PL4 firmware and that can be done no matter what it currently has.
edit: The ability to add a fake wifi entry, highlighting it and choosing "advanced" is the key. That feature is ONLY available in a few Android 6 ROMS. The one ending in PL4 being one of them.

Then why not just post what version to flash and how to use it to remove FRP? Rather than, "what version are you running?", flash version "xyzzz" and do "such and such". Personally, I'd like that info if, and only if, it is easier than the 6 method. And doesn't cost any money. If you are selling something, then forget it.
edit; I take that back. If the OP can't figure out how to use the 6 method, and you can sell them something using 7, then more power to you.

Do you think I'd spoil a perfectly good rep on these forums to sell something that can be obtained for free? In future do your research before replying to members with 'Recognized contributor' status.
Also no, I will not post up the method for general consumption, so any Tom **** and Harry can breeze by and happily bypass the security on a questionably obtained device.

I am not, never have done or ever will sell something on XDA.
I do what I do for free. If you'd actually take the time to do a little research, you be aware of that, but obviously not.
I'm not going to get into a tit for tat with you as it pointless and will refer this to a mod if it goes any further.
