Today KingoRoot will instruct you how to root Android 6.0 marshmallow devices.

Ways to Get Root Access

If you would like to get root access, there are mainly two ways, either by exploit or by third party recovery. Most of the time is using third party recovery to get the root access. Because the exploit is hard to find, and also not every device is able to get root access via exploit. The most important thing for the exploit is the successful is not very high.  However, flashing the third party recovery has a much higher successful rate than the exploit, and most the device may get rooted by flashing third party recovery.

Before you start to root your device, there are some preparation work you should do first. 
 Unlock your bootloader.
Backup your important data.

TWRP

Flash TWRP

Flash a third party recovery is an imporant thing  before the rooting start.

Go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings.

Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging.

Back to  Settings > Security > Unknown Sources enable it.

Download the TWRP.img and Kingoroot tools

Open the Kingo ROOT\tools folder. In the tools folder, type CMD at the address bar and press enter. Type the following command:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery (pull the twrp.img into cmd)

E.g.

fastboot flash recovery D:\Kingo ROOT\tools\twrp-3.0.2-0-flounder.img

fastboot reboot

SuperSU

Temporarily Booting TWRP

Download SuperSU-v2.46 to your device.

Boot into TWRP temporarily, if you have flashed the TWRP skip this step. Restart and then boot into TWRP

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot (pull the twrp.img into cmd)

Eg.

fastboot boot D:\Kingo ROOT\tools\twrp-3.0.2-0-flounder.img

fastboot reboot

Tap on “Install” and select the SuperSU zip file that you downloaded to your device. “Swipe to Confirm Flash” at the bottom of screen to begin the flash. This will install SuperSU and allow root access automatically.

Reboot device.

If you want to verify root access, download and install Root Checker.apk from the Play Store.

Nexus Root Toolkit

If you are using nexus devices, the Nexus Root Toolkit will be your best choice. This is a very user friendly and easy to use root tool.

This program will automatically bring together all the files you need to unlock and root your device in a few clicks, or flash it back to stock and re-lock it. You can also use this program to backup/restore all your important data, flash zips, set file permissions, push and pull files, install apps, generate logcats/bugreports, and much more!

The program intelligently and selectively downloads the files it needs for your device and makes sure you are using the latest files available. The program can even auto-detect your device and build.

WugFresh expressed on the official website of Nexus Root Toolkit.

Download the Nexus Root Toolkit developed by WugFresh.

If you need an "a  simple and detail guide" on how to root a Nexus by Nexus Root Toolkit. You probably shouldn't root a Nexus. Or just be patient wait for our tutorial coming soon.

CF-Auto-Root

CF-Auto-Root is written by chainfire the same one who write the SuperSU. If you are using SAMSUNG devices, congratulations most of SAMSUNG devices may get root access by CF-Auto-Root.

Download CF-Auto-Root and ODIN first.

CF-Auto-Root is a very useful root tool for SAMSUNG devices. ODIN is the ROM Flashing tool for SAMSUNG devices.

UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS

If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device!

So before you start unlock your bootloader first.

Using CF-Auto-Root will definitely:

• Trigger your flash counter.
• Trip your KNOX.
• Void your warranty.

Using CF-Auto-Root will possibly:

• Wipe your data (if your device storage is encrypted).
• Brick your device (if your device is incompatible).

Rooting involved risks. Proceed with caution. Root at your own risk.

No one is responsible for bricking your device.

How to root Android 5.0/5.1 (Lollipop) with KingoRoot APK

Many Android users now wonder how to root Android 5.0/5.1 (lollipop) since it has been released for quite some time. "Is there any safe and easy way to root it?", someone might ask. Kingo offers every user of Android 5.0/5.1 a truly one-click rooting experience with both KingoRoot Android(PC Version) and KingoRoot (APK Version).

It is suggested that you try KingoRoot (apk version) first in that it has integrated several universal and powerful exploits and it is fairly convenient. It can save you the trouble of connecting to a computer via USB cable. But if KingoRoot apk failed to root your device, it is highly recommended that you try again with KingoRoot Android (PC Version), which intergrates more rooting scipts and has a much higher success rate.

Root Android 5.0/5.1 (lollipop) via KingoRoot.apk Step by Step

• Step 1: Free download KingoRoot.apk    
You will download it directly to your Android. You can find it in "Download" on your phone.
   
The download will be automatically started. If Chrome has warned you about KingoRoot.apk, click "OK" to proceed.
   
• Step 2: Install the apk file of KingoRoot.
When installing the apk file, you may encounter some issues. Whatever it might be, follow the system instructions.
   
• Install Blocked: Settings > Security > Unknown sources > Check the box and allow.
You device may only accept app installation coming from its native app store, like Google Play or Samsung Apps. The apk file of KingoRoot is directly downloaded from the server of Kingo and will not be able to install on your device unless you allow installing from "Unknow source".
•        
       
• Harmful App: Settings > Security > Verify apps > Uncheck it.
KingoRoot is an exploit-based root tool. If you have no knowledge of "Android Rooting", well, you should. Kingo exploits system vulnerabilities in order that your device can be rooted, which will be considered by Google or Manufacturers as a malicious act. But it is your choice to choose, to root or not to root. On kingo's behalf, the only thing we can do is that to make sure of our integrity and leave the choice to you.
•    
• Step 3: Tap the icon of KingoRoot and press "One Click Root" to begin.
   
Make sure that you have stable Internet connection when rooting with KingoRoot. It is required because the rooting scipts used are stored in Kingo's server. Without it, Kingo will fail to root your device.
   
• Step 4: Get the result: succeeded or failed.
   

You may want to try it a couple of times because KingoRoot.apk will only download one script at a time. Running different scripts may deliver different results.
