Whats the process to root on 5.1 ? Will the same earlier "how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481" guide work on 5.1 too and the same files mentioned in the guide?

get custom recovery and flash su in it
so i purchased a note 4 off swappa that was rooted it I was looking at flashing a lollipop rom. the phone is currently running android 4.4.4 and baseband n910tuvu1ank4, and kernel 3.10.0-2796035, [email protected] #1. I haven't flashed a rom since my note 2 so my memory is a bit fuzzy on the process. Do I have to update all of this before I can go ahead and flash a custom lollipop rom? if so could anyone be kind enough to walk me through the process? I am also running At&t off the tmobile phone. (would this explain why when I click software update, nothing happens? The phone doesn't even go to a page to try to check.) Thank you to any one that can provide assistance.
Follow the guide here to update to Lollipop before flashing a Lollipop ROM. In this thread you'll find all the files you need to update, root, and get a custom recovery so you can begin flashing ROMs. Most ROMs will have installation instructions in the first post of the thread.

thanks for the response. i have root already but im still on 4.4.4. im looking to flash lollipop roms. Do i need to update anything or can i just flash a 5.0 rom right over my 4.4.4 stock rooted rom? i reread your comment which files do i need to flash in that guide? the two cod6 lollipop files? maybe im not seeing it but in the guide i dont see how to uppdate to lollipop....
You have to Odin flash the COD6 lollipop firmware. Just flash the entire 1gb file. Then follow the steps in that thread to root and get custom recovery back

so if i odin flash the cod6 file that is 1.8 gb that will replace my kernel or do i need to flash that as well? and this will make me lose root. and will have to re root the phone... sorry for the question i feel like a newbie again to all of this....
Yes it will replace everything. Kernel,bootloader, recovery, modem, everything. And you will lose root. But you can just follow the steps in the linked thread to get root and recovery back. And no problem! We were all noobs once lol
This link here says the root method is TowelRoot, but I thought that was patched? If so, is there another method?
Since this is an AT&T phone and I'm using a Cricket SIM, how do I get to Lollipop? I'm assuming you need Lollipop firmware before you can flash a Lollipop ROM, right? I was thinking of flashing TMS 5 and the instructions tell us to follow Flashfire. I just want to make sure this is the up-to-date and correct process?
-Root via TowelRoot
-Get Flashfire and flash OF3 build (does it matter which one?)
-Follow safestrap method in the instructions of TMS5 (this method said to install recover in safestrap. Does it just do it by itself, or do we download a recovery to install?)
-Complete?
Hi
I was about to follow one of the guides but then another user posted that the guide was not correct and had a separate download. I am looking for a verified guide to flash back the official xt1806 firmware.

Follow this guide, download https://drive.google.com/open?id=161Z95p4Ss16xgzvAix5O2kxCktY-LwCM which is the June 2018 Nougat update. This will allow you to take the official Oreo OTA after.
Use https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...nofficial-fixed-twrp-3-2-1-r20-stock-t3869192 as TWRP for any stock ROM until other TWRP devs fix their TWRP. This one allows proper backup & restore for OTA in the future, and doesn't break OTAs when you use it to flash Magisk and modules
