Hello together,
I read recently a article about a Nexus, which may be rooted without wipe (Source: I cannot attach a link because it is the first post, so: "Root without Wiping - Android Forums at AndroidCentral" in google), so I wondered, if it is possible to do the same on the OPO.
Thanks for your replies.
Regards,
elchico

it is locked
I unlocked it when I bought it but then there occured some problems and as a result I flashed the stock kernel/ rom. But today I wanted to install an anti-theft-protection and for that I need the root
Why did you relock the bootloader when you went back to stock? You didn't need to do that. Now you're stuck, you can't get root without unlocking the bootloader, and you can't unlock the bootloader without it wiping your phone.

Hello guys
im looking to root my OPO, but i dont want to unlock the Bootloader or install a custom recovery, just want a method to root so i can install Xposed on the stock CM11S rom, is this actually possible?
Why not just unlock the bootloader? Your warranty isn't affected by it. You lose nothing by unlocking it, and you gain nothing by leaving it locked.

Like @timmaaa mentioned, you lose nothing when you unlock bootloader. Not only that, it is the recommended and futureproof approach to do so. Unlocking the bootloader wipes your phone completly clean. Suppose somewhere down the road you want to try different ROMs, you'd realize you cannot do so without losing your data. So you'r much better off unlocaking your bootlaoder right now.
But to answer your question, no. It is not possible at a simpler level. Unlocking the bootlaoder give you access to all the partitions on the phone. What you need access to specifically is the recovery partition so you could flash a custom recovery and install the SU binaries onto your system. through that recovery.
What others have said, unlock the bootloader there's no problem with leaving it unlocked.
You're given the key to unlock the bootloader using a command. Use it and make your life simple. It's like saying you have the key to your house but you want to get inside the house without unlocking the door. Just use the key and make it simple.

Perhaps you felt like I did, worried that you are ruining your phone or your ota ability.
Unlocking the Bootloader is painless aside from having to reinstall all your programs. Everyone says it wipes the os, but what they don't tell you is that you don't have to dig around looking for the proper version to reinstall. You just type a code, and the phone reboots fresh like a factory reset, ready to go. And installing the custom recovery is easy, and it works perfectly with ota updates.

I recently updated to the xnph05q update and my root access is loss. I can root it again ofcourse but my question is that do i have to unlock the bootloader again? Is there a way to check if my bootloader is still unlocked? I am asking this because then of course i have to go through a long procedure to back up all my data as ofcourse unlocking the bootloader is going to wipe my phone. Thanx in advance.

Your boot loader won't be locked again. Can you access your custom recovery (TWRP/CWM etc)? If so you just need to flash a SuperSU zip to get root back. If you lost your custom recovery, you can just flash one again, although you will need to connect to a PC to do this.
If you've lost your custom recovery, just use a toolkit like the one below to install one. You can then reboot to recovery and flash a supersu zip (download one first from here http://download.chainfire.eu/212/SuperSU/). You won't loose any data.
Toolkit:

Okay let me just check if i still have twrp and i'll get back at you. Thanks for replying so fast

Great no problem, nice and easy one! :highfive:
Hi all,
The bootloader unlocking command "Fastboot oem unlock" did not work for me, because I locked the bootloader when I had installed TWRP recovery. TWRP recovery prevents the command from working. Luckily, timmaaa directed me to a thread which fixed this problem. I flashed a bootloader unlocker zip via TWRP. It worked flawlessly for me.
This is the thread I was directed to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912
your phone still boots into CM11S and TWRP recovery? if yes, then it is not bricked. Unlocking bootloader is only one time process. you do not need to unlock again as it is already unlocked, if you did re-locked bootloader then unlock it. you can flash oxygen OS straight away on twrp recovery.

Thanks for your reply.
I relocked the device. After that I tried to unlock it again, but when I type the command and hit enter, the device will boot into TWRP recovery.
So what I have now is CM11S with working TWRP recovery.
But if I had installed cm12 or so, I wouldn't be able to flash CM11S, because the bootloader doesn't get unlocked anymore.
I know it's a very strange problem. I don't understand why it doesn't get unlocked anymore..
Luckily, cm11s still works. And I could install Oxygen OS using TWRP. But if something goes wrong, I will not be able to restore my device to stock CM11S, because the bootloader has not been unlocked..
Thanks anyway, I appreciate your help.

It did not work ;( It tried to unlock my bootloader. But after I clicked on "unlock bootloader" button, the device rebooted once again in TWRP recovery.
I think the problem is that I have a locked bootloader with a custom recovery. I think stock recovery is used to unlock the bootloader, isn't it?
You should never relock the.bootloader
Its not necessary

There was no point to locking the bootloader again. Go here:

Hey everyone, I've been lurking around for about two months, from when I picked up this phone. It's still completely stock. Unrooted, S-ON, all that. Well, after the update to Nougat, I've been searching for a way to unlock the bootloader & root. Is it safe for me to use WinDroid Toolkit for the process? Just need a guide for the process, for the most part. I appreciate any help that anyone is willing to offer.

Go to http://htcdev.com and make an account, then follow the steps and unlock your bootloader from there. After that you fastboot flash TWRP using ADB, and then use TWRP to flash a root solution. I prefer Magisk.
Alright, just unlocked the bootloader, going through the process of setting up my phone once again. Do you have a link to the Magisk & TWRP programs that I can use? Also, should I put the TWRP file in the same folder as the fastboot files?
I greatly appreciate the assistance you've given me so far, I'm deeply grateful man.
Okay, so I flashed twrp, then the seSuperuser zip that was linked to in CaptainThrowback's thread. Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop, it won't go past the HTC logo with the red warning letters. What do I do now?

try this step by step.. :good:
1.Flash TWRP 3.0.3-8 via Fastboot.. Do not reboot into system, enter into recovery..
2.Do a factory Reset via TWRP.. Do not reboot into system
3.Now flash SuperSU 2.79 SR3.. Reboot into system..
couple of bootloops are common, do not give up for at least 3 bootloops..
It will take a long time to boot as you have done a factory reset..
So be patient and wait for at least half hour..

Sorry about this - I updated the TWRP thread with the current/preferred root method: MagiskSU.
You need to flash a stock boot.img and then flash the Magisk zip from the linked thread.

Aw crap, I wish I would have seen this yesterday. I tried to format data & flash one of the stock rooted roms for marshmallow roms for my sprint one a9... now it just hangs at the HTC One logo. I'm gonna assume that I'm screwed until a stock rooted Nougat rom is released for sprint.

You don't flash firmware with TWRP. But you can use the SD card method to flash the RUU, which doesn't require a computer.

Hello Guys,
I Have an HTC one a9 with 7.0, s-off, bootloader locked
I have some concerns before I root my phone
If I unlock the bootloader and root the phone, Will I have the option of phone encryption as it used to be ?
If I unlock the bootloader with HTCDev and flash the TWRP with SuperSu and boot file, it is a MUST to do a data factory reset? or I`m able to do all the process without loosing my data?
Thank you in advance

Unlocking your bootloader will wipe the device.
Hi all, I've been lurking and reading for 2 months, preparing to root my device. So this title fits my mood.
One A9, "factory unlocked version", S-on, running 1.57.617.60
Just did the actual unlock from htcdev so now data is erased. I'm re-reading the threads I saved to prepare, now that it's time to actually finalize what ROM I want to run, but now have a few questions before completing the plunge.
In past threads I read the newer MM and N security prevented rooting, and reverting to Lollipop was necessary. From what I read here that is no longer the case?
If I want to debloat the system I am already running, can I do that without finding a custom ROM to run?
Thank you

Yes, you can root and debloat Nougat. Though you should make a stock system image backup first of you ever want to receive an OTA again. The TWRP thread FAQ has a lot of information about this.
I currently have android 11 which about 2 years ago I unlocked, installed TWRP and rooted. I later allowed the phone to update but didn't realize I should have re-flashed TWRP and root before I rebooted the phone so I lost the use of TWRP and root. Now I want to reflash android 11 but wont unlock and root the phone again but want TWRP. How do I go about doing this (I am not strong with what I need to do and have usually caused a problem before by using the wrong enchilada file, the last one that worked was twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio I think) and which files should I use?
you can't flash anything on a locked phone so at the very least you can have it unlocked + twrp and no root if you wish
otherwise no twrp

That's what i was saying, this is not possible, locking or unlocking requires full wipe which nullifies any custom things you do.
You can have a phone that's not rooted which should be good enough for most checks but if it checks the bootloader there's nothing you can do about it besides not use it or use stock
