These are the instructions to root Nexus 6P on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with the build number MMB29M. Once you root the Google Huawei Nexus 6P smartphone, you can start installing all of your favorite rooted apps once again.

In an age where the smartphone display is continually getting larger, most people aren’t complaining about not having enough screen real estate on the Huawei Nexus 6P. After you root the Nexus 6P smartphone, you can still make the screen appear even larger by removing the navigation bar on the bottom of the screen. Rooted users can achieve this by installing the Full!screen application that is available from the Google Play Store.

REQUIREMENTS

• The following guide is made for the Google Huawei Nexus 6P only. Do not install these files on any other device or you risk bricking that device.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Download the universal ADB Driver from our ADB and USB Drivers page you can find from this link. Install the drivers on your computer.
• You are voiding the Huawei warranty by following this guide. You cannot get that warranty working again unless you unroot the device.
• Confirm the USB Debugging Mode is enabled on your smartphone by pointing to the menu > Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging Mode.
• If for whatever reason you cannot see the Developer Options menu available from the Settings menu, try tapping on the build number that is available on the About Device menu and unlocking it. Now you should see the Developer Options coming from the Settings menu if you scroll down to the bottom. You need to tap over the build number around 7 times before you will unlock the hidden Developer Options menu.
