Is there a way to root NCP91K version of N
I believe we need a special image or boot loader file. Please point me in the right direction.

Hello pospower,
I hope you are new to the community, so first of all, welcome to the Nexus 6P section.
I advise you to read the sticky threads here at the section. First in the list would be: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/questions-section-t3214020
Over to your query now. Bootloader has no relation to rooting, except one, that it should be unlocked. Unlocking the bootloader will enable you to flash TWRP recovery, which in turn would be used to flash SuperSU v2.71 flash-able zip.
For detailed instructions, please refer to section #1, #2, and #6 in the following thread: [GUIDE] Unlock/Root/Flash for Nexus 6P
I hope this helps. Best regards.

boot.img my bad i was refering to this below
Download the latest TWRP Recovery. Please note: if you're on MHC19I or above you must use TWRP 3.0.0-1 or above, otherwise TWRP won't be able to decrypt. Also, if you want to use TWRP with the Android N Developer Preview you must use TWRP 3.0.0-1 or above, and you must also flash the modified boot.img found here.
ok got twrp installed 3.0.2.0
flashed the boot.img from above post

TWRP is having issues with encrypted filesystems right now. You can either flash TWRP v3.0.0 or decrypt your 6P.
The decryption process should be carried out just after you flash the modified boot.img.
To decrypt, you will need to connect your device in bootloader mode and enter the following command:
Code:
fastboot format userdata
(Please note that this will wipe your complete internal storage).
OK got twrp working 3.0.0
Now it's asking for a password to get to decrypted files.
Any suggestions?

Please confirm.
And by decryption, i mean that you first flashed the modified boot.img and then formatted the userdata.

That is weird. I have done the same thing like twice or thrice since the last two days, and it has worked like a charm.
If you're decrypted, TWRP v3.0.0-1 should work fine.
Are you sure you wiped complete storage using fastboot format userdata command?
Yes

Try switching to a different version of TWRP, and see if any one of them works for you.
v3.0.0-1, v3.0.1-0, or v3.0.2-0.
Rooting this device is actually quite a simple and easy process. Before you begin, it is recommended that you at least try to understand what each part of the process will do. Although this guide will elongate each step in order to show all of the details, the method used can be broken up into 3 main steps: Unlocking the Bootloader, Installing a Custom Recovery and finally Rooting.
1. Download the ADB For Windows from here :-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0MKgCbUM0itNVB1elljU2NPR0k/view
2. TWRP: https://mega.nz/#!v9MmGQ5C!i5VroRopCVz2_Uoc6Mi2U6N4oDa0HK1SxCrkDrc4mwQ
3. SuperSu: https://mega.nz/#!eh13yLiC!3tkx_RkLg-D8T6mi35zDUB8AYEPLliBsL8yO1dmZbI8
Steps:
1.Backup Data
2.Unlock boot loader
3.Flash Recovery
4.Flash SuperSU
ENJOY

What would be the clean method to flash future OOS update when rooted and with TWRP recovery?

Simply flash the full ROM.zip manually in recovery, typically 1.4GB.
That means not installing the incremental mini zips. And not installing from the settings menu.
It's up to you whether you want to wipe data or cache.

Very easy to download the required files. Very simple step-by-step video guide. A+
Thanks for putting this together you made my night!
Thanks, I have unlocked bootloader, Installed TWRP, and Super Su.
one question though, when after setting my account going for nandroid backup there I found SYSTEM as well SYSTEM IMAGE.
what is difference between them, What thing should I backup.
Also there is showing your system is Unmounted, so when I should have to mount it.
Thanks to all Once again.
Hello guys, thanks for the guide!
I was wondering if anyone has faced the same problem as me - while trying to root the Oneplus 3T I constantly get a bootloop after flashing SuperSU. The latest TWRP (3.0.4.0) is installed without any problems in fastboot, the system is mounted as r/w, and I don't see any problems during flashing SuperSU package...
I've tried it before and after OOS 4.0.2, I've tried old and new, stable and beta versions of SuperSU, but either way the phone is stuck on bootscreen after flashing.
P. S. If I flash the official ROM after that - it boots up instantly without any errors... And with no root :/
I'm having the same problem

Try this SuperSU

Just tried both versions (2.79 and the SR3 beta) - unfortunately, the same bootloop happens.

I wonder why it was so hard to find
I was on the last beta n4f26t, and flash TWRP successfully, then went to flash superSU from twrp, this when wrong and everything goes downhill from here. I tried flashing back the last update, in it's entirety following the Heisenberg guide for returning to stock didn't work, tried flashing twrp again still can't get into recovery (just boot loops) I tried a previous update NMF26F and got to the dead android recovery screen but when I tried to flash back the OTA nothing happened and went back to bootloop on reboot. I've used the nexus root kit and still nothing. What can I do to fix this? I've honestly looked up every resource I could think of before posting this here. really hoping I didn't perma brick my 6P

Hello... So now you only have access to the bootloader Or bootloader and stock recovery?
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can try:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot format userdata
Of course it will wipe your internal storage...

I would concentrate on trying to get a working recovery first. Almost everyone who lost recovery mode never got their phone back- classic BLOD. First try fastboot FORMATTING recovery and then both fastboot flash twrp, and then fastboot boot twrp. If you can get a working recovery there may be hope. If you can never boot to recovery mode, I think you are done. From your bootloader screen, what is your bl version?

BL: angler-03.6.7
Baseband: angler-3.81
I see all normal BL options and I flashed it with the nexus root kit and used https://developer.android.com/preview/download-712.html this image
I know with older versions of TWRP there was a problem with the EFS partition that contains the IMEI info. What version of twrp are you using??? I thought I bricked my Nexus 6p after restoring a backup but it was actually just me screwing up my EFS partition. The newer versions of twrp (i think 3.0.3 and up) fixed this problem. Still though, if it is that, and you flash a new twrp version it won't fix your problem. If you have the time search through the forum for the EFS partition fix. I don't know the commands off the top of my head but I know this helped a lot of people. Worth a shot.

OK, but when you try to boot to recovery, it bootloops? Never goes to recovery? Try the steps above to successfully flash the recovery partition using fastboot. I suppose you can use NRT, but download the latest version of TWRP and try both flashing and booting the twrp.img.
same boat
anxious to hear results: I can't get to recovery and am bootlooping - tried a bunch of things using Nexus Root Toolkit . Curiously enough earlier when I was trying to flash an older version or ressurection remix, even my TWRP would bootloop so I couldn't flash anything without it quitting - anyone ever hear of that happening?

Into Twrp - reboot - bootloader.

If you lost bootloader there isn't way to flash it without it, also system will no boot without.
Reflash stock recovery (into twrp) and send to warranty repair.
I can't seem to install Magisk 16.0 via TWRP 3.2 on the Oreo update. It installs, but enters a bootloop. Why is that?
Also TWRP said cannot mount /data. How to fix this?
"Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)"
Also cannot format data this way
EDIT: Installed Magisk 16.4, no change. Also just realized that internal storage is inaccessible.
I upgraded and got in a bootloop. Then I remembered I had Nougat substratum themes active. Only way I got it booting is by factory resetting it.
As for installing magisk with root access, you can try the TWRPless method. I got it working on mine. All you need is the stock boot image and a computer to use adb.
Steps on installing magisk on Oreo:
1. Put the boot image somewhere you can easily find it for later use
2. Install the latest magisk manager apk on your phone
3. Enter magisk manager and install magisk (root) using the "patch boot image" method.
4. Send the patched boot image to your computer
5. Now reboot into bootloader
6. Now on your computer install the patched boot image using fastboot flash boot "patched boot image"
7. Reboot and profit!
Hope this helped you out. Good luck

For anyone who tries the above method and has their fingerprint sensor stop working as I did, use a root file manager to remove the following directory/file:
/data/system/users/0/fpdata
/data/system/users/0/settings_fingerprint.xml
and reboot.
Certain modules required me to delete those files again, and some others broke the fingerprint functionality until they were removed and I rebooted twice. I hope someone can find a complete workaround soon.

Already tried. Bootloop also, probably since magisk manager used v 16.0 instead 16.4.
I noticed that 16.4 actually signed the boot image using test keys, as opposed to the 16.0 which didn't.
I'm a bit frustrated here man
EDIT: I have substratum but I don't have any of the themes active, so the first one is a go. Installing magisk however...

That was the first thing I tried, in fact. I have to use magisk 16.4 as well or else the fingerprint reader refuses to work no matter what. You haven't run into this issue at all? What's your setup if I might ask, and did you patch the boot image from the oreo update zip to install magisk?

I just watched a video tutorial to root it and keep stock recovery. Another thing to take note of is that I upgraded to Oreo using TWRP instead of stock recovery (yes, I didn't think it was possible on this phone).
Once I upgraded to Oreo, it reverted back to stock recovery. As you read above, I got stuck in a bootloop because I had substratum themes active, but I fixed it by using the stock recovery to factory reset it. (It's also nice to factory reset after a major OS upgrade so that you don't encounter any problems with old files)
If anyone's interested in a video, here's the one I watched:

So you did a factory reset and magisk is working properly? I can boot twrp without installing, but still no go using that method. Yes, I also used TWRP to install oreo, I didn't think it was possible either, but it finished flawlessly. Except the magisk thingy.
Can you mount /data in TWRP after oreo?

To answer your first question: yes, I did the basic setups, restored my apps and then installed magisk the way I explained above.
Secondly, did you try installing the latest TWRP? Because I didn't want to install TWRP until I have the stock recovery and TWRP with the latest Oreo kernels.
I saw this morning that shakalaca uploaded TWRP with the latest kernel, so I boot it through fastboot and saw that by default the following partitions were mounted: /recovery, /data, /cache. I tried /system to see if it works and it does.
I hope this answers your question and good luck!

Also tried live-booting TWRP and installing magisk (leaving stock recovery), left the boot.img unpatched
Installed the latest TWRP, the /data and internal got mounted, but after flashing magisk, bootloop again (still bootlogo after 10 minutes) even after wiping dalvik.
Cache is unwipeable somehow, is this an issue?

So, I just realized I've been sending the wrong link to everyone so far. (It sent you to the "old" folder)

Yes, I searched through my history and then found out that you gave me the same link, so thank you. Updated my 2nd to last post about the condition... Do I REALLY have to factory reset? Sigh...

I don't know man. I was just running the latest release of TWRP at the time and it somehow installed it like any custom rom.

How did you manage to update via twrp? I get an error when I try it.

Yes, actually I just did update via TWRP, it installs flawlessly. HOWEVER, it only applies to the Oreo ROM, not the N or M ROMs. N and M needs stock recovery (the boot.img contains recovery too)
I was able to reflash the update via twrp by modifying the update script a bit (spat out errors about the twrp recovery having a more recent build date than the update zip) Everything seems so far so good! I haven't had issues with my fingerprint yet.
