How to Root Android 6.0, 6.0.1 Marshmallow

Rooting android 6.0 Marshmallow is just the same as rooting android 5.0 Lollipop. Since one-click root is not available for these android versions yet, the most suitable, risk-free and easy method to obtain root-access is to flash SU Script from recovery on your phone.

Here, I discuss how to root android 6.0 and 6.0.1 Marshmallow by flashing SU Script onto the phone from recovery.

Android 6.0.1 is available and already running on a select number of Android devices. It is a minor update which increases the version number by 0.1 but surprisingly, it comes with quiet a number of improvements. Android 6.0.1 is bundled with new Emoji, quick launch camera shortcut, Do Not Disturb and Volume Controls, tweaked tablet UI, lag and security patches.


Thanks to the recognized developer, Chainfire, who released an updated version of SuperSU which supports Android 6.0.1. The SuperSU v2.62-3, while in beta, supports all Android 6.0.1 handsets.

How To Root Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow With SuperSU v2.62-2

1. Download the SuperSU file from the download link here. If you have downloaded it on your computer, connect your phone to your PC and transfer the zip file to the internal/external storage of the device.

2. Turn off your phone and use the appropriate key-combo method of going into recovery mode. Different Android phones have different key-combinations for going into recovery mode.
NOTE:
You need to have any custom recovery installed to use this method for rooting. See here: How to Flash Custom Recovery on Samsung Android Devices | How to Flash Custom Recovery On All MTK Android Device: Tecno, Infinix, Wiko and Others | How to Flash Custom Recovery on HTC Android Devices

3. Select ‘Install’ in TWRP and navigate to the folder where the SuperSU file is located and flash it.

4. Now go back and reboot your phone. Wait for the phone to boot up and go to the app drawer. You should notice the newly installed SuperSU app. Lunch it. If it asks that you update the script, reply "YES" otherwise, run any of your root apps to confirm that you have successfully rooted your android device running android 6.0.1 or 6.0.

So, each time this happens to your iPhone, here are few things to do in order to resolve the case with the phone.

When your iPhone Fails to Connect the Internet, What to Do

Few days ago, one of my clients complained that his iPhone 6 does not browse though 3G works perfectly on the phone and most times, he is in good coverage areas. Worst still, he just purchased the phone so he wasn't sure if the phone had ever browsed. He began contemplating that he had bought an inferior iPhone.

To his surprise, he brought the phone to me and in less than two minutes, the phone began to browse in full speed. He began to wonder how I did it. All I could say was " ignorance is a weakness".

Well, if you ever find yourself in similar situation, I discuss few stress-free checks you could do to correct the error and have stable-browsing iPhone.

1. Check your APN Settings: although, once valid SIM card is slotted in most iPhone, the device automatically brings the right configuration settings for the phone so that the phone start browsing immediately. However, networks like Glo have different APN settings for different data plan meanwhile, networks like MTN, Etisalat and Airtel uses the same configuration settings for all data plans.

In essence, make sure that your phone is configured using the right APN settings for your data plan.

2. Provision Service: make sure that your SIM card (in use) is provisioned with data service. You may call your network's customer care line to verify this however, the easiest way to confirm this is by slotting the SIM card in another phone and see if it browses.

3. VPN Apps: check to confirm that you have no VPN applications installed on the iPhone. Or that, the VPN application(s) installed are valid and properly configured for relaying internet connections.

If you don't know the right configuration for the VPN application, I suggest that you uninstall the VPN application(s) installed on the iPhone and restart it. Once restarted, attempt to browse using any application. The phone should browse.
