Has anyone rooted their nexus 5x, and if so did you use a one click method or the ol’ command line interface?

rooting to me isn’t worth it anymore.

Rooted through command line and Cyanogenmod 13. :)

Most of the XDA’ers would suggest using the command line method so that you actually learn how to do such things yourself.

Personally, I’d use a trusted utility from a known source just to make life easier.

Fwiw, I stopped rooting after my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 10. When I picked up the og Nexus 5 I left it stock so I could continue to receive ota updates. Nexus devices are first in line for os updates, but once you root you’ll have to source and install them on your own.

I love the Nexus line for the quick updates, regardless of how you get ‘em.

On the flipside, I upgraded to a Note 7 and didn’t get the marshmallow update until yesterday. Samsungs flagship phone, and we waited months for the update to reach us. Goddamn horseshit.... and if you root it trips the Knox counter and your phone becomes forever useless for contactless payments. (Which may effect the nexus 5x too, I’m unsure, so if you’re planning to tap to pay you might want to look into that before pulling the root trigger.)

What are you going to be able to do once it’s rooted that you can’t already do?

Use Xposed modules?

Yes Cyanogenmod is by far the best way to go.

Same deal, use to root, easier and less time to just keep it stock.
