Unlock Bootloader and Root Nexus 9 with One-Click CF-Root-Tool

Naveen Robsworth | 12 Nov 2014 | Google/ Root

The Android 5.0 Lollipop, a new bootloader, and a 64-bit Tegra K1 processor – people would go nuts on this combination but it leaves a scary nightmare for the developers. However, Chainfire seems to have taken it as a challenge and announced the root support for the Nexus 9 within 24 hours of its launch. We’ve already covered the root process for the Nexus 9 on Android 5.0 Lollipop which involves unlocking bootloader and flashing few kernel images to attain root. A Nexus user would definitely go nuts on such beefy root procedure, thanks to Google’s new additions to Android Lollipop.

Google’s improvements in the Android Lollipop forces developers to boot the device using a custom boot image to root the device. So the previous Nexus 9 rooting procedure involves booting from a custom boot image and then install a patched boot image to attain SuperSU. The process wasn’t complex and there’s just another step appended to the traditional process, but it’s undigested to many users. Anyway, Chainfire releases a simpler one-click root tool for the Nexus 9 which just requires a single click from the user.

The one-click root tool is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. The root tool is a just a batch script which automates the previous procedure, so just press enter and take a sip of coffee while your Nexus 9 is automagically root. Grab the root tool from the download link below and follow the installation process to root Nexus 9.
