You need to unlock it.
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot recovery recovery.img
boot to recovery then flash su or supersu
That's it. Pretty much like any Nexus S guide.

Hi everyone,
I want to root my "One X 3.18 AT&T cws_001" to flash my boot.img because i have a reboot/crash problem. However, to root the device the bootloader must be unlocked, and to unlock the Bootloader it must be rooted Anyone have an idea of how i can resolve this ? Thanks.

If your phone is not rooted flashing boot.img doesn't apply to you. If it's completely stock do factory reset in bootloader. If that doesn't work, download and run the 3.18 AT&T RUU EXE file not ZIP file and run it with your phone plugged in.

Rooting will not fix your issue if running the RUU does not. RUU is the software fix for rooted and none rooted phones. So if an RUU does not fix it. It's a hardware issue.
Your phone needs to be operational to root/unlock.
hi sorry for noob question in advance!
i rooted my phone a while ago, and i think i remember unlocking bootloader but im not sure. i DO have TWRP recovery, does that mean that i had to unlock my bootloader to get it; thus it is unlocked?
thanks!

well to get root/custom recovery you either had to have made it s-off or you unlocked your bootloader. whats the problem? are you not able to get into hboot to check?
bootloader
If you let me know your phone make and model i will be happy to show you how to check boot loader status.
Hey guys! I unlocked my bootloader keeping my DRM Keys by using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
Now I'm on ZyxxOS ROM and I would like to return to stock ROM, make root and relock the bootloader.
The problem is that I don't know how I can root the phone after flashing the ftf of the stock ROM, can someone tell me how o provide me a link to a tutorial? I've searched and didn't see any around the forum

Flash an insecure kernel. Its the easiest way to root. But in the OP you said you wanted to re-lock the bootloader, then you cannot boot an insecure kernel.
Please let me know if you will have a locked or unlocked bootloader.

Why? You will lose root when you re-lock
Just go back to stock and re-lock then use the massive thread in the general section to root.
Also, that rooting method works on unlocked bootloaders as well. Anything that works on a locked bootloader works on an unlocked bootloader as well.

Hey! My Z5 is new and I don`t want to unlock the bootloader right now. It`s factory new, so Android 6.0.1 (E6653_32.2.A.0.305) is clean. no root, no superuser etc.
is there a way to root and install the twrp recovery without unlocking the bootloader?

You can root without unlocking the bootloader, but in order to install a custom recovery you have to unlock the bootloader.
For more information on rooting and unlocking the bootloader, see this thread:

You need to follow parts 1, 2, & 3 to downgrade your firmware, then you can root with iovyroot. It wasn't spelled out in the thread I linked to (sorry about that) but you'll need to go to the iovyroot thread and follow the steps there to root your phone.
Can I ask why you don't want to unlock the bootloader?

Is there a way to just root your phone without unlocking your boot loader? I just want to simply root and install some apps that require root but that is it.
Thanks...

I'm pretty sure that you need to unlock your bootloader first.
Not sure if you can unlock - root - relock ??
I think this is not possible yet without unlocking the bootloader.

Once you unlock and relock your bootloader, its status will be relocked, so your warranty is void anyways.
So I have to unlock the boot loader first. Dam I assume that is on the difficult side of things as well...

If you want the status to show "locked" and not relocked to get your warranty back, you can use the downgrade package from nougat to marshmallow and flash stock B131.
I managed to relock my bootloader using this method : my fastboot screen says "locked" (and not "relocked")

Wait for kingroot method. No need to unlocking bootloader to root, people do it because its only one way to have root on honor 8 now - by flashing supersu in twrp, and twrp/modified recovery you can flash only if you unlocked your bootloader first.
