Nandroid backup no! It is not possible to do that without unlocking bootloader!
If you have unlocked bootloader than you can install a Custom Recovery to backup your stock before rooting!
You can still backup app APKs, Contacts etc. before unlocking bootloader!

you can unroot and relock your bootloader.. but to take full nandroid backup, you need Unlocked bootloader and custom recovery...

Please help me Unblock bootloader for Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70 International

Hi Guys,
I don't know if this is the right section to post this question, I'm new in the forum.
I just kept my ex boyfriend tablet and now I'm experimenting with it, but I have a few questions:
If I want to use Odin to flash a custom kernel , let's say rj's Kernel, do I need to have the bootloader unlocked ?
How do I unlock the boot loader for Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 International version ?
Could you please help me Unlock the bootloader ? Could you please explain if I need the bootloader unlocked to install a custom kernel with ODIN ?
Do I need the bootloader unlocked to install a recovery and then do a Nandroid backup and then install a custom kernel ?
Device:
Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 - YP-G70 International version.

To flash a ROM or recovery and do a NAndroid backup you need an unlocked bootloader.
To unlock your bootloader, use this Windows program: http://www.mediafire.com/?f3gi19g1zz3frg3
I hope this helps you, but don't forget, with unlocking your bootloader, all your data will be erased!

well with this device im not sure if you need to unlock the bootloader. some need the bootloader unlocked some don't. i would ask in the official forums for the Player http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-player you need to tell them its international as well.
Thanks Guys, it has been really helpful.
Could you please let me know the name of the program I have to use to unlock the bootloader for this device?
I've been reading like crazy and I understood when I unlock all data will be lost, but that's not a problem at all.
Then I would like to flash rj's kernel which comes with Clockworkmod and then from there I would be interested in doing some Nandroid backups and installing cyanogenmod.
In fact I would like to be able to do a backup even before installing a custom kernel so I can preserve the original kernel and android, I installed an application called something like nandroid backup and I managed to do a backup compatible with clockworkmod but the thing is that it skipped the boot and recovery folders, so it makes me think the bootloader is locked.
Please any comments are very welcome.
If there is anyone here from Ft. Lauderdale we could even meet in a mall and do the thing together with the laptop.
Thanks again for all your help honeys

Like I said your going to want to hit up the official forums but I'm keeping a lookout for a way. There has to be a way if there's custom ROMs already

[Q] Undoing the entire rooting process

Hey everyone I decided to root my Honor 6 (H60-L04) but I didn't create a backup. I'm loving the root access but for future references, with the Multi-tool, if I want to revert everything back to stock, could I just unroot on SuperSU, restore Stock Recovery from CWM Recovery and lock my bootloader with the tool alone? Could anyone give me a heads up into guiding the process to me?

Updating firmware with rooted phone and custom kernel

I rooted my OnePlus when it first came out and had a custom kernel on it, and since then I haven't updated it. I want to update to CM13 but am not familiar with the process that needs to be done without losing any data or risk bricking my phone. I believe it has TWRP recovery and Franco kernel (I don't have the phone with me so can't verify).
Do I simply unlock the bootloader, backup data and then flash the new custom ROM? Would I be able to flash a custom ROM without losing root? I want to keep the root but go back to stock kernel.
Thanks
When you unlock your bootloader you'll lose all your data. However if your bootloader is already unlocked, proceed to flash this TWRP version (unofficial TWRP 2.8.6.0.6 by kumajaya): www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952609056
Other versions of TWRP have bugs not updating the firmware properly.
You'll lose your root but CM13 nightlies have their own root in the developer settings. Or you can flash SuperSU 2.67 on top after you flash the ROM if you prefer SuperSU.
Oh and make a TWRP nandroid backup first before you do anything. Backup the firmware partition too if it's not checked by default.

Help - what's the best way to root D6633?

I just bought a D6633 dual sim z3 and I was going to root but then I found out that Unlocking bootloader wipes DRM keys and so I'm confused on what I should do now?
should I downgrade to kitkat ,root, backup drm, then unlock bootloader? or is there another faster way to just root it on Marshmellow?
As far I know...
Optionally you can backup some important Apps with “Helium“ (from Play Store) to SD or PC - Internal Storage will be wiped by Unlocking the Bootloader...perhaps by Downgrading too, i'm not sure.
Then dowgrade, root, backup TA (DRM)
... with root you could get a custom recovery
and with a custom recovery you could:
-(backup your rooted kitkat rom)
-flash a pre-rooted stock Marshmallow-Rom
so if you want a original Sony Marshmallow OS with root and DRM Keys, there is no need to unlock the bootloader. If you'd like to have Cyanogen or any OS with a custom kernel, unlock it, a locked bootloader would brick your phone.
....but i'm not sure, wait for Comments of Seniors
