Is anyone working on a method for rooting that does not require an unlocked bootloader?
Nope no chance without unlocked bootloader
Gesendet von meinem EndeavorU mit Tapatalk 4
Okay and how some androidphone have been rooted without an unlocked bootloader ? Defy for example.
I don't own the Moto G, but it is possible to root with a locked bootloader. You gonna need to set up adb and fastboot on your pc using Android SDK. You will also need twrp. There are some guides on how to set up and use adb and fastboot.
Twrp can give you root permission if you don't have it. Hope this helps a bit.

How about:
"Fastboot boot recovery.img" CWM, then you can flash the superuser zip without unlocking the bootloader or flashing a different recovery.
Lost, you have to set up adb and fastboot before you can flash a recovery.

I didn't mean to imply setting up adb was not required. And just to clarify, I was suggesting booting a recovery, not flashing it permanently.

Sure, I thought you meant flashing.
Sp any info or update , if someone is working on rooting moto g without unlocking the bootloader??
I tried just booting a recovery once, but it ended up booting the empty stock recovery. I can try again in a few hours, but I'm not sure it'll work.

Boot a custom recovery with locked bl is not and will not possible on moto g. No matter if it's possible on other phones, we are talking about g.
If you want root without unlock bl you have only a way: to wait some exploit. For now there aren't, in future who know..

Yeah well, Hope some one will find a way a soon because not many people afford to lose warranty on rooting as unrooting will not save warranty..
Yep. Root is a risk for warranty.
For example, my two friends here in Italy, for different problems have send their g with unlocked bl in repair. Both are back repaired without any problems. So i mean that there are cases and cases. Btw root remains a risk for many.

You can do it without requiring to unlock bootloader but I am not sure of Moto g. I have done it for Samsung device but it should not make a difference as Moto g is another Android device.
You will need Android SDK and also need to run Twrp. It will do the job for you.

Hi guys, I found this program "I'm root" my question is, I'd like to close the boot-loader jut for security reasons, but now I've set up everything as I wanted so I don't want to delete everything again.
Can I use this program it seem to be really good.

Yes. I use this to lock and unlock my bootloader once rooted. It doesn't wipe anything.

WOW perfect then I'll do it. Like this if I lose my phone no one will be able to steal anything. (Steal I say xD, they can't do that much. but you know what I mean.)
If you have a custom recovery they can. So make sure you have a stock recovery

Can I lock the bootloader using this app with a custom recovery installed so that when I need to install updates to the rom or flash something I wouldn't need to flash/boot Philz again after unlocking?
Or do I need to flash the stock recovery before locking with this app??

As long as you're rooted it'll work with a custom recovery or stock. Edit, just be careful if you do a lot of messing around on your phone. You may be locked when you wish you weren't

Yes, I get that.. If I end up in a bootloop I would need to use fastboot which will erase all my data.. That's what you're warning me about, right?
To tell you the truth, I'm actually worried about this eMMC failure thing as I have a 1 year LG warranty (not google's). I have seen a few threads where they weren't able to relock their bootloaders before sending it in as the eMMC's write function was screwed up. If I send my device in with a unlocked bootloader, warranty will go down the drain for sure. LG is very strict regarding this matter.
May be I'm thinking too much but my friend had faced similar issues with his HTC One and he had to shell out half the price of the phone to get the mobo replaced even though he had warranty

I'm guessing that if your emmc failed you wouldn't be able to lock using this app. Boot it is an easy way to keep it locked until you need to unlock. It is a good app and it's been on my phone for months. But I usually keep it unlocked

you can have a custom recovery and use that app to lock and unlock your bootloader, just as you can have a custom recovery and lock/unlock your bootloader with the fastboot command.. fastboot oem lock(fastboot oem unlock).

That's why I was thinking to after flashing what I want to, I would lock the bootloader with the app so suppose one fine day my eMMC gets fried, I wouldn't be in trouble as it will be locked.
If I want to flash anything, unlock with the app, flash via recovery, reboot and then lock the bootloader again! Does sound good, right??

Wooaaahh?! Thanks for the clarification... Just curious though, why does it not wipe everything when I unlock it the 2nd time? is it because the tamper flag is set to "true"? How does the bootloader determine that it's being unlocked the second time?

As an fyi, I locked with bootunlocker once and then messed up by device where I had to use fastboot commands. It does wipe if you have to fastboot unlock the device again

Unlock the bootloader. If the official unlock fails, try motoapocalypse.
Flash recovery. CWM is old, use TWRP 2.7.1.2 or OpenRecovery 2.09.
Flash ROM, gapps.
Don't be afraid of search. All of the information is available.

Then perhaps you shouldn't flash phones if they "go out" on you after flashing them...? Be happy with stock, it's not too bad on Motorola devices.

If you're unlocked, flash a custom recovery like TWRP or OpenRecovery. Then TAKE A BACKUP.
After you have a good backup, save it off somewhere and keep it in a few places so you don't lose it. TWRP will then offer to root after you reboot to system if you are not rooted already. If you're using OpenRecovery or want to flash your own version of SU, look for a .zip of your preference. Do you want SuperSU or SuperUser?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887727
The debate always rages on. Just chose whichever one you prefer and flash it. Of course this applies to stock, most custom ROM's will provide some way to access root (IE CM's method of clicking multiple times on 'build number' in About Phone).

There's also motochopper etc tools like that to unlock.

Hi arrrghhh. Thank you for the link, i manage to unlock the device. after that (as you can imagine) i tend to flash custom recovery then root the phone. However I can not flash custom recovery i dont know why.
I try multiple methods, also try to flash it on fast boot as well (fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img) however every time i reboot to recovery, it is always the stock recovery. do you have any idea why would that happen?
I am on stock 4.1.2 ROM from sprint.
Thank you.

Sounds like stock recovery is wiping your recovery being flashed.
After you 'fastboot flash recovery whatever.img', hit the power button on the phone to turn it off. Release. Then hold power + vol down - keep holding vol down until you see the Moto logo dim a bit (~3-5 sec).

No idea. It works fine on my XT1039. Try "fastboot boot twrp.img" to see if it starts that way. If it does, you could try copying twrp.img to the phone using adb push or mtp, then flash it to the recovery partition from twrp's "install image" feature.

Having been on Sprint's LG G4 (damn bootloops of death) and G5s for the past two years, I've been out of the rooting game for a while... I'm no stranger to HTC; I started with the OG EVO and went up through the M8 before jumping ship to LG.
I reeeeeaallly don't mean to sound like a noob, but I don't see any "Root" thread... I see all of the rom development, but no plain old "Do this, get root."
I searched the Q&A and News subs, and I found something that seems a little too easy... Do I seriously just unlock via HTCdev, fastboot install TWRP, and install SuperSU from recovery to have full root status?
Again, I really apologize for sounding like I just fell off a turnip truck, but the most rooting experience I've had in the past two years has been a couple of Kindle Fires, and those have admittedly been done with supertools.
I thank you in advance for any words of wisdom, and again, sorry for sounding like a boob (I swear, I searched the forum first).

I saw this after I decided to go with Magisk instead of flashing SuperSU, but still flashed TWRP... Would going without TWRP be better just to preserve stock recovery for OTA purposes, or is there another reason why bypassing custom recovery would have been better?

Ease of taking OTAs is the only reason. Then again, you can re-flash stock recovery (readily available for all firmware versions) in TWRP in a matter of seconds.

thanks, thats actually what i thought but i can no longer unlock it, because i dont have a copy of product id.
about the Dload, will it work even if the bootloader is locked?
thanks in advance

Hello good Morning.

if you have an unlock bootloader,you can try to fastboot and install twrp.
i think the main problem using the DLOAD method is because the model got rebranded. if we could rebrand it back to the original model,then it may work. but i dont know how to do that.
hopefully @shashank1320 can help us

i followed https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-update-to-emui-8-t3807806
everything went smooth until i get to the part where you need to put the OEM unlock code (my phone was previously unlock prior)
so i shrug it off and tried to continue upgrading without unlocking the bootloader.
Problem:
Lost copy of bootloader unlocked code
bootloader got locked
stuck in erecovery (missing stock recovery)
can only boot to bootloader but locked
thanks in advance.
im not really familiar with huawei since i was a samsung user eversince.
hope someone can help me.

There is a slight chance that we might be able to help , but if we failed you will need some paid tools to fix this unfortunately , if you want to do it your self i can help you .
get these information through fastboot :
Code:
fastboot oem get-build-number
Code:
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
and post them here
Next time don't skip steps. They are there for a reason.

why vendorcountry: channel / in

don't assume that things will not work based on your own knowledge , this is the most simple way any other way you will not be able to handle it , lack of experience or lack of tools .
