Hi,
I want to confirm and ask:

1) What is the last build version (of 6.0) that it still possible to root successfully without getting the message of "DEVICE IS CORRUPT" notice?
Also for root: which is the last version that still possible to work with?

2) In order to FIX the device (now it cannot boot - getting "DEVICE IS CORRUPT") -- Anyone tried this method and successfully solve it?
Repairing Nexus 6 Marshmallow 6.0 Failed Roo… | Nexus 6

Another method i've found is flashing these files by bootloader:
1. android-info
2. boot
3. cache
4. recovery.img
5. system
6. userdata

If this is the right way (the last one) - Is there a missing file?
What about the Radio?

Thanks very much.

What root method did you use? Every build can be safely rooted. The corrupted message can be ignored, it just means it detected an altered system.
 
Chainfire method caused that.
He doesnt mention anything n his front pages (xda) that using his method on 6.0.1 further.
I flashed all the img's => flashed root -> installed supersu from the store.
That's what helped me.
 
It works fine with 6.0.1... If you are getting the warning, ignore it. But if you can't boot, you might have missed a step. There are two versions of root, one requires you to flash a customized boot image, the other only needs the zip (this one is called 'systemless')

The first method will cause boot issues if you don't flash that custom boot image.
 
That warning is there on most rooted nexus 6 I think. Just ignore it.
