If you weren't rooted before the update I don't think there is a way right now at this point.

Thank you thats what I kinda figured. Thanks for clearing that up. Hopefully they figure a way to root it.
Figured that's what the deal was.
I believe that you can odin back to 4.4.2 NC2 without issues and then towelroot and safestrap. Follow the thread in general section.

Do you know if this method works for Verizon? Im total stock on 4.4.4
I am thinking about getting the nexus 6 this week. I have looked around this thread and have some questions.
1. Is the bootloader for the Verizon nexus 6 unlockable? (If so, please add a tutorial link)
2. Does Xposed installer work with this device?
Thanks

1. Yes, the same way as every other Nexus device, so just read the stickied guides at the top of this section.
2. Yes and no. It works on 5.0.x but not on 5.1.x, which is what your device came preloaded with. I'm not sure what parts of your firmware can/can't be downgraded if you really want to roll back to 5.0.x to use Xposed, so maybe someone else will chime in with those specifics.

I certainly would like to roll back to get Xposed. Also what roms do you recommend for this device? And could you link how to root/install custom recovery? Thanks!

As @joshm.1219 said, read the sticky roll up thread at the top of this forum. All the answers you're looking for are within that thread. :good:

Do you know where I could find how to downgrade from 5.1 to 5.x.x? I really would want Xposed installed!

If you downgrade from 5.1, do not revert your bootloader. Downgrading bootloader from 5.1 to 5.0.1, then eventually back to 5.1 could potentially lead to a brick.

What if everything is stock? No root or anything? What would the safe steps be from there?

My first suggestion would be to use the search function provided by XDA. As I'm sure you suspect, all of this information is out there waiting for you to find it.
Look through the Q&A forum. I'm sure you'll find answers there.

It's OK to downgrade system.img and boot.img. Just don't downgrade your bootloader. Unless you never want to go back to 5.1.

I'm sorry but coming from samsung, all this bootloader unlocking is quite new and certainly don't want to mess up my phone

No need to be sorry for anything at all. Except, maybe owning a Samsung lol!

You'll find, that there's a guide written, for pretty much everything you want to do. The steps are simple and fast. Just read the relevant threads and be sure you know what you're doing. Once you unlock your bootloader, leave it unlocked. Flash recovery and root and have fun!

This guy does a ton of rom reviews for our phone on YouTube http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2992769
Can someone please help me find the thread on how to downgrade from 5.1 to 5.0.2? I have looked everywhere and haven't found anything. Plus I'm new to unlocking (came from samsung) and I certainly don't want to mess anything up

Since you're unlocking and getting a custom recovery anyway, all you have to do is flash a 5.0.2 rom and 5.0.2 kernel. Most devs have updated past that, but you can find links to their older builds usually from the same download folders.

I would suggest that a little bit of patience might be in order here. Xposed is very popular, and I can't imagine that it would be more than a couple of weeks before it's functional on 5.1.

Nice! I'd have to flash back to stock, take the OTA update and then root again. I wonder if it's worth it or not. Do you notice any difference in OE2?
That's exactly how I did it, but this time using the PingPong Beta6 version to root. I can't report differences yet since it has been just updated. I will give it a day or so to notice the differences/changes.

One thing that has changed for me, is that the night clock now works as it should. It no longer lights up the whole screen.

Puertorro en la casa..!!!:good::good::highfive:
Do we need ANOTHER post on this? I made the exact same post highlighting the fact that people weren't searching for the post on root in the SAME forum as this post yesterday......
Mods?
I'm sorry if it bothered you but my post is about rooting yesterday's OTA update. The post that you referred to is a generic post and my post confirms that the OE2 update for the G925A is rooted. Anyway, mods can delete this thread if they understand that it's just another post saying the same.

Absolutely correct there is no need for two threads on the same topic
This one is closed.
Please post here news on the root of lollipop on (G900A).
Any Q/A related to this content of rooting stock 5.0 goes here, please don't make another thread for same Question.
Thanks.

I tried the PingPong root method used on the S6 with no luck. I did add the FPtag that the OP asks for in requesting new devices, so who knows, maybe they will look into S 5 support

Thanks for the info, i didn't tried that method, thanks for letting us know.
Let's hope they work on the S5.
I am skeptical. This seems like it's "too good to be true" but I am wondering if anyone has tried this:
http://www.oneclickroot.com/device/att-samsung-galaxy-s5-lollipop/
I already had to take my phone to the AT&T Repair store after trying other things. I don't want them to think I am up to something.
Does not work just tried

Unless we can roll back BL then it won't work, unfortunately.
My att note 3 was on 5.0 with locked boot loader and went all the way back to 4.4.2 to root

It also has to do with qfuse counts.
muniz_ri posted a very informative message in one of the other related threads, but I've lost track of it, but one of the counters that is hardware based once flipped will prevent earlier BL from functioning with the hardware.
Thus, for the G900A once you've run the OC4 bootloader you can't go back to the earlier editions.

Where did you find it out? That should tell you more info about the link. Also, Nethunter is available as a Marshmallow image for a while now.

They are not the same. The ones you posted seem to be only kernels and not the firmware(ROM) itself. You can flash the firmware from the link I posted and then try to flash the newer kernel you posted on top of that.

Just use the build script, nethunter works nicely on nougat, even tho I had some issues with installation, but in the end works fine.
