[Completed] NeverEVER try to root a mobile device if you havenot unlocked the boot loader. - XDA Assist

Hi,
I want to share my personal experience about trying to root my phone huawei honor 3c without unlocking boot loader lol. So I didn't knew anything about boot loader, custom recovery,bla bla bla... At my first attempt of root I just went to the root part amd bricked my phone lol(it remained bricked for a month) but it had warranty so they sent me a new phone I used my old iPhone 4 during that month damn old hard times...PLEASE never root your device if you haven't unlocked boot loader first
Thanks!

[Completed] [Q] Hisense U800 Infinity H6 restore ota

Hi, guys
I'm new to XDA so if this is the wrong subforum for this kind of question just tell me where to post it.
So I recently bought a new phone, a Hisense U800 Infinity H6.
I installed an OTA, and then rooted the device using Kingo on windows out of desperation (No other rooting method available).
When I try to do a OTA update now, I get a message in broken chinese-english that says:
"Your phone has been root or by brush! "
It's quite obvious that my rooting the phone revoked ota privileges. I've tried unrooting and it doesnt work, also, there is no recovery available for my device.
Is there a way I can restore this?
Any help would be appreciated.
%%%%%%
Additional Info:
Using Fast boot i was able to determine that the bootloader is unlocked.
Now i don't know if Kingo did this or if it was unlocked by default. I guess i should've checked this first.
BUMP
Or if anyone can tell me how to fix the ringing volume thats not responding to volume down. Either maximum or off.

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist Since you have unlocked bootloader there is no way to relock it hence even if you flash stock chances are high system will detect bootloader unlock.
Good Luck!

[Completed] Root help for Phablet Asus Fone Pad 7

Hi everyone! So I have a Asus Fone Pad 7 that I would like to root. The bootloader is locked and I need to unlock the bootloader to be able to access root privileges. I've ran basically all the "easy root" programs, King Root, One Click, Framaroot , towel root, etc including Zenfone root kit. I've done so much reading and either im doing something wrong with the process (which I don't believe I am, considering I've gained root access with my Galaxy Grand Prime) or its just impossible? Which I don't believe it is, possibly because the popularity of the phone it may not be out there the way it is for other phones? I read Asus provided root access but when you call Customer Service all they said is that they 'provided' a bootloader unclocker, which is a toolkit. And at that they deny it unless you mention you read they do then they will continue to help you. I think it also depends on the representative? I spoke with 1 guy and he was in the process of providing the toolkit until my phone lost service. Everyone else I've spoken to says the don't recommend it and can't help me and remind me it'll void my warranty. Im lost and confused but I know it is possible! So if anyone would happen to know how or could help me figure out how to unlock the bootloader I would greatly appreciate it! That's the only thing I need. On my developer options it doesn't give me the option to unlock the bootloader like it does in my Galaxy Grand a prime when I'm in developer mode

[Completed] ZTE MAX DUO LTE (Z963vl) ROOT HELP.

Hello everyone I have managed to root the ZTE MAX DUO LTE (Z963vl) with KingRoot but the root is not perminate it goes away after you reboot the phone.. I figure that the reason for this is because the bootloader is still locked. I also can not write to /system with lucky patcher which again tells me the bootloader is locked even though the phone is rooted. Does anyone have any way to fix this without a PC? Also I almost forgot to mention that it won't let you update BusyBox either. I waited a very long time for this phone to acquire root but it's almost useless with the bootloader being locked. I can't even flash a recovery like CWM or TWRP. Please help as much as you can thank you.

Scared to root and install twrp

Alright,finally got my unlock key and unlocked the bootloader
Now my problem is that the thread that's on here about rooting a metro version of the G7 power
Was written before twrp was released for the " ocean"
So now I'm not sure if there is a surefire way to root and install twrp or what I've looked at all these threads and it's left me on the side of caution
All the threads here there are people replying
That they were bricked sooo. Can someone
Please clear up all the noise and help me
Thanks in advance !!!

When you requested the bootloader unlock key, your warranty is void.
The best advice for you not to do root and flash anything to have a good sleep.

Hey thanks for the funny message
But that's definitely my main objective
This is the first phone I've had in about an 2 years that was even root able so I definitely want to get it done asap but probably not tonight Soo can someone really help me ?
I suggest trying this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/how-to/moto-g7-power-root-magisk-twrp-t3991951
So after the boot.img is patched I use magisk to root the phone
Once you flash the patched boot.img, you will have root.
Don't bother with twrp. It is a waste of time.
BTW, keep the original boot image someplace because if you want to un root the phone and relock the bootloader you will need it.
Personally, after trying a number of other firmwares, I went back to stock.
