i want to know if there's a way to root your device (for the first time) without data being wiped?
i only want root access nothing more
Getting a root access doesn't wipe out data if you have an unlocked bootloader.
You cant root your phone without unlocking the bootloader.
And to unlock the bootloader there is no way you can do that without data getting lost.
So for the first time rooting phone without loosing data is not possible I guess.

Hi,
My friends Samsung nexus s is stuck on the X screen. since the phone is on stock rom and no recovery installed and he doesnt want to root his phone and wants all his previous data back, what should i do to get back in orignal state without loosing data?
Well, if you unlock the booloader, then his data is gonna be lost anyways because unlocking the bootloader will factory reset the phone. The only way to get his phone working again is to unlock bootloader, and flash the firmware images, or a custom rom through recovery. Your friend is going to have to accept the change on his phone and data lost. Sorry, but I can't think of no other way to restore it WITHOUT losing data.
I'm getting close to getting a new phone, and there is specific data from my Motorola Photon Q that I want to move onto my computer to put onto my new phone, but all the websites and searches for ways to root this phone say I have to unlock the bootloader, which in turn means I also have to delete all the data from my phone.
Is there a way to root my phone without having to delete all the data or unlock the bootloader?

When you rooting photon q or unlock bootloader you dont loose anything, some one wrote somewhere a bulls...
you dont lose anything from your phone, only flesh to stock or wipe / factory reset cause this not unloading bootloader or root
It is in fact, possible to root the Photon Q without unlocking your bootloader. It's called Towelroot. I did that, and it worked perfectly.
Nexus 5 Stock Android 5.0.1, unrooted and bootloader locked. (H20 network which is AT&T)
It's my understanding that I need to root to recover data using 'Scalpel' software on Linux laptop and to have access to the raw data via usb.(to copy blocks of data over to laptop via USB)
However in order to gain root I need unlock the bootloader and in order to do that I need to wipe which defeats the whole shebang.
What can I do? Any ideas appreciated.
-Thanks
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Have you investigated other potential data recovery methods?

You're posting in the wrong section.
Unlock bootloader automatically reset the phone. Root doesn't.
So whatever you do, back up 1st all your data. Local, cloud.
You can use migrate to backup. Its in playstore.
Hello,
i have to root my S8 pro now because the whole internal memory is nearly used by apps and system.
Is there a opportunity to root my device without unlocking bootloader?
I found magisk to modify the boot-partition and for example getting root on the device.
But you have to unlock the bootloader to flash the new boot-partition. I also read that unlocking bootloader always means that the whole device is resetted to factory-defaults which means losing all installed apps.
I have about 50 !! banking apps for generating TANs. For these apps, it's not enough to reinstall the app. You also need to reconnect the app (especially the device) to the banking account.
I think the only way to backup the the configured and connected app is to have root on the device, right?
My plan was to root the device without unlocking bootloader, then make a full-backup, unlock bootloader which resetting the deivce, and restore the full-backup.
After this, I un-root my device because the banking-apps check if a device is rooted. My plan is t re-roote the device using magisk only when needed and when no banking app is used, and then un-root it again.
Any idea how to solve my problem?

Really?
unlocked bootloader ist neccessary all the time while device is rooted, not only when flashing?
