First Time Rooter (primarily for tethering), keeping Android Pay

I have never rooted an Android Phone. I have a new 6P, and have lost the ability to tether that I previously had on my Moto X 2014. I understand that I need to enable it in the build.prop file (and to do that, I need to root). However, I am also a regular user of Android Pay., and don't want to lose it.

Having never rooted before, I am looking for the easiest to follow/most foolproof method to root so I can enable tethering without losing Android Pay. I am fairly technical, and have previously jailbroken by iphones. But, since I've never rooted Android, I'm looking for the clearest/most direct path. For the time being, I don't have requirements for other functionality (via rooting) beyond Tethering, however I will begin to explore the rest of the rooting/ROM world after it's working smoothly with Android Pay.

I would appreciate a pointer to the set of steps (as "cookbook" as possible) either on this site or elsewhere that will give the greatest chance of success to a first timer. (From what I read, may have to be a "systemless" root in orderto keep Android pay).

Any and all assists/pointers/comments are appreciated!
P.S. If it makes any difference, I'll be using a Mac for the root.

[Q] I have created my first Android build, but it doesn't boot. What next?

Yesterday I have created my first Android ROM. Flashed it and flashed the boot.img file.
This ROM includes a custom kernel.
When starting up, I see the bootloader splash screen and then somekind of graphical glitch where the logo is displayed twice in green and the screen goes all black.

I think it has something to do with the kernel. I am using version 2.6.32 with Android 4.2.2 for my Huawei Ideos S7. If you'd like, I can link the repos here, but I have build the ROM with a private clone of those repos.

How can I 'debug' the system and tell what is causing the device not to boot?


You can send me a guide if you want, and hopefully I will figure it out.


Thank you in advance,

Tim

12. Using the work of others. If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you. Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums. These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

• Please keep all non Development relevant chatter out of development threads, It is recommended to make a separate thread in the Q&A section for non Development related comments and questions, valid replies within a development thread are: BUG Reports, Problem, Troubleshooting Steps & Logs.
