[Q] root on 5.1

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?

Stuck at " recovery not Seandroid enforcing" after root n9208

Hi guys I have the latest firmware installed ( see screenshot) whenever I try to obtain root via chain fires autoroot or through custom kernel for n9208 my phone gets stuck at bootloader. Is there any way to fix this.
Ps the crom services app always force closes . And I followed every step on root tutorials

Hi, i got same problem with new firmware update, lost my root and tried to root again with chainfire autoroot, but didnt work, tried a couple of times...no luck, at this step i still can boot android, then tried flash xiaolu kernel...at this step i got boot loop, both space kernel also failed to boot, so if you havent flash any kernel with odin, you still can boot after flashing twrp recovery, but if you already messed with kernel, there no way to to fix it...better flassh new firmware, and use stock until someone can find a way to root 5.1.1, hope its help...

Isn't there a way we can simply downgrade to the last rootable firmware?

if you're on the latest firmware, i recall having to install the AOK2 bootloader to root my N9208 using the original root methods (not the Systemlesss Root method). check the TWRP thread for details. The situation may have changed, but when i upgraded my firmware to AOL1, i had to downgrade the bootloader to AOK2 to regain root.

How did you downgraded your boot loader? I am sorry but I'm really new to galaxy development.
PS is it safe to flash a firmware from December over my current version which is from march

check the TWRP thread for details and links to downgrade the bootloader. please note/remember, i downgraded from AOL1 to AOK2. not sure if this works with any firmware newer than AOL1. in my case, i reflashed the AOL1 firmware, then downgraded/flashed the AOK2 bootloader and then rooted using the original 9208 root method.

Request help in rooting ATT Note 3

Hello, I have a ATT Note 3 Android 4.4.4 , (baseband version N900AUCUDNL1), (Kernel 3.4.0-3032228). I followed the directions of each rooting method. I have ran Kingo root method and ran Odin v.309 and v.3.10 root method several times and both these rooting methods have FAILED. Can anyone please help and advise me on how to root and install a recovery on this device. I appreciate any help.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe you need to be on NC2 in order to root.

If the bootloader is locked, you cannot install cwm or twrp.

Towleroot doesn't work on 4.4.4 you need to back date to 4.4.2 kk then towleroot will work install busybox and j. Rummy root checker, safestrap 3.75 install ST mind you it will say not active until you install a custom rom in one of the slots I believe you can just activate slot one without installing a rom and it'll put safestrap in a active State. Droidveiws is a good place to get the 4.4.2 firmware get the AP BL CP files the install via doing 3.09 it's simple. Me personally I like kk better than lollipop.

just flash the latest 6.0.1 factory image. yes, you will lose root and will have to reroot(flash twrp then supersu which takes a few minutes). bootloader will only relock if you relock yourself, manually. if by now you dont know the proper steps, and yet you are modifying your nexus 6, then there is no help for you, sorry.

flashing a factody image will wipe out your partitions first, so affectively, youre flaahing on top of an "empty" device. you will lose data, but wont if you only flash the system.img.

Sorry to butt in but only flashing userdata.img in fastboot or performing a manual data factory reset (in recovery or settings) will wipe all data on your device.

No, all you need to do is flash this zip with recovery.
