Although Google now releases Android updates after several months of testing with the developer preview builds, the final builds, when released publicly, still often contain bugs/issues.
It has only been two months since Google officially released Android 6.0 Marshmallow to Nexuses and Android One devices, and we already have an update available for the Android One devices to Android 6.0.1.
The Android 6.0.1 update fixes certain bugs/issues on Android One devices, of which we aren’t fully aware of honestly, but it’s a very minor update (less than 50MB).
However, even after being a minor update, it does require newer modified boot to get your Android One device running on Marshmallow 6.0.1 rooted.
The rooting process stays the same though, you flash the modified boot first from fastboot and then boot into TWRP recovery and flash SuperSU v2.52 from there.
