Can't root my phone =( - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I've got a F-08D, which is similar to a T-01D..
I've tried using so many different ways, but I can't root my F-08D phone..
I've tried Z4 Root, SuperOneClick, GingerBreak and I think all the other 'One Click Rooting' apps..
please help~~
Thanks

locked or unlocked?
is you phone locked or unlocked? basically what I'm asking is can you flash over some sort of recovery that will let you flash su into the system from the bootloader?

My phone's unlocked..
Unlocked it in Japan from NTT Docomo..
and I don't get the stuffs about the 'su'..

(Q)S3 Unlock Bootloader

If i can unlock the S3 while rooted can i unlock it on a stock factory not rooted S3? Is there any way we can unlock it without being rooted?
I don't think so. You need the image that ez-unlock installs when you unlock for the 1st time. plus ez-unlock backs up the stock image so you can relock and than return back to stock with odin.

Need help
I'm abroad now, and need to unlock my Verizon S3.
After rooted by RootDebugfs then using EZ-Unlock, it still gives me " Non Verizon sim" for the Vodafone sim.
I've tried several times to to uninstall then reinstall the EZ-unlock for both versions 1.4 & 1.2 but the problem still exist.
At last I uninstalled both Ez-unlock and Super Su.
hope to get rescue.

EZ-Unlock unlocks the boot loader, not the SIM or whatever is involved in unlocking the phone. Same term, but not referring to the same thing. It doesn't carrier unlock your phone. I'd offer some assistance with that, but I'm not too familiar with it.
p.s.
For future reference, you should be sure of what an app does before using it.
still need help

This phone seems to be locked right down!
Android Version : 4.0.3 Full build number is 1.94.631.3 CL76063 release-keys

unlock your bootloader through HTC-Dev (all other models)
flash twrp
flash superuser from recovery downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
None of the AT&T root solutions apply to you, or any other carrier version of the One X/XL except AT&T. For the AT&T version, we need to have root in order to spoof the CID and get bootloader unlock via HTCDev.com. This is because AT&T is blocking HTC for allowing the bootloader to be unlocked (and the only carrier to do so).
You can skip all that and just unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.com (as mentioned in the reply above). Then install custom recovery (TWRP) and flash SU to achieve root. Or alternately, flash a rooted ROM.

So what you are saying is that I do not have to change my CID or root before unlocking boot loader?
I got my identifier token and am going to submit it... I just saw another response, looks like I have it easy and was looking way too hard... the first time I rooted my phone I DID have to spoof my CID etc, thus the confusion...
Thanks guys!

At last! Web site awake and I can unlock bootloader.
Bumping. Would unlocking bootloader and flashing superuser from recovery work on the new OTA JB update?

If it says bootloader unlock not allowed , then i doubt there is a safe way to unlock it.
Nearly every method to unlock such a bootloader are shown only for 2011 devices and i have heard 2012 devices have been patched to stop an unlock by that method.
Also those methods involve certain hardware modifications using bare wires and finding the debug port.
Such methods are highly risky and may damage your phone.

Yes you can root without unlocked bootloader, Framaroot worked without any issues for me, and i don't see any reason why it shouldn't work for you.

You can install Stock based custom ROMs without a unlocked bootloader.
This might help : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2237164
And regarding Non-stock based custom ROMs and overclocking, they are kernel mods and to flash a new kernel you need an unlocked bootloader, sorry

[Q] is there any way to unlock the bootloader of the xt1045 without a PC?

I've searched up and down and all around for a guide but I have yet to find a way to root or unlock the boot loader for the xt1045. Ive tried towelpieroot, sunshine, framaroot and king root and still havent had any success. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?
You can't even root the XR1045 by cricket (ATT/AIO) or even unlock the bootloader with a PC. I have the same variant. ATT will not let you unlock the bootloader and even the Motorola forums say it can never be unlocked. I hope there is some sort of bypass to fix this

The same thing is happening to me but my bootloader has been unlocked before. I re-locked it because I unchecked developer options. Now that I want to root my device and require my bootloader open, the button to check and uncheck is dark grey and is refusing to check the option.
PLEASE GIVE ADVICE/HELP.
Is there any updates in this topic?
I've been struggling with this problem since a week now, my phone is working, but I don't have original IMEIs, SN, and I locked my bootloader again by accident. Now I can't unlock it, it says: Unlock failed...
Is there any solution for this?
Or any other methods for unlocking the bootloader apart from the regular methods (fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flashing unlock etc.)?

May be we can try! PM me.
Fortunately, I've solved it by reflashing proinfo, and other partitions. It was quite a long time ago, so I don't really remember it, but I managed to solve it after a few days/weeks of struggling.
