How To Root Nexus 6! [Windows/Mac/Linux]

How To Root Nexus 6! [Windows/Mac/Linux] -

For those who want to root your Nexus 6, remember to root a Nexus device, you will need to unlock the bootloader first. Unlocking your bootloader will erase everything on your phone so we highly recommend you to root your Nexus 6 as soon as you get in the mail. Also, copy ALL (all your photos / videos) on your computer so you do not lose them.

This root method works on all Android 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2 and 5.1 Lollipop.

That said, let's Nexus root 6. This method works on all Windows, Mac or Linux. I use Windows for the tutorial, but you can follow my Mac / Linux commands instead of Windows for Terminal

Step 1. Turn off your Nexus 6 then hold down the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously until you see the menu fastboot come as below (sorry please ignore the part of thumb, bad screenshot).

Next, connect a micro USB cable from your Nexus 6 to your computer.

Step 2. Go to our CWM / TWRP Recovery and download page Nexus 6 CWM or TWRP restoration (it is for you to decide which one to use).

Step 3. You can also download fastboot.zip, SuperSU zip file and USB drivers (for Windows only)

Download :.

Download fastboot.zip

Download the zip file SuperSU

Download USB drivers (for Windows only)

Step 4. Unzip fastboot.zip and you should get a folder called "fastboot" with all the files you need. Copy and paste your CWM Recovery or TWRP image file here (the file ending with ".img").

Step 5. If you are using Mac or Linux, skip this step. If you use Windows, open the Device Manager and install the drivers. (Please see the tutorial video on how to install drivers)

Step 6. Then, open a command prompt for Windows or terminal for Mac or Linux. (If you do not know how to do this, please google!)
