Root without unlock bootloader - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys !
Is it possible to root the Mate 8 without unlocking the bootloader ?
I've done this with my LG G4 because the bootloader wasn't unlockable...
Thx

No,only with unlocked Bootloader

Ok, thank you for your answer.
So, is it possible to remove the message "device unlocked" when we turn on the phone ?

Unfortunately, no

It's impossible to unlock...
Is it simlocked? If it's simlocked to some network you are unable to unlock the bootloader. If you unlock the phone, you will be able to unlock the bootloader

I had several phones that were sim locked and I was unable to unlock the bootloader. After sim unlocking them I was able to unlock the bootloader. The same goes for the Xperia M2, it was locked on T-Mobile MK, after unlocking the phone I was able to unlock the bootloader.

So, I assume that if I flash a debranded firmware from Xperia M2 (My cellphone can't unlock Bootloader about the "[x]Newtork 10" is locked in SimLock) may unlock the bootloader without any troubles? Is that so? Or I'm mistaken?
If I'm correct, that'd be amazing, I'd like use other ways to personalize my phone but I can't 'cause of the stupid Bootloader xDD.
Thanks!

Unfornately yes it's true how DavidMKD sayd before you need to unlock you device before unlocking the bootloader i asked few friends and XDA members and they confirmed too so , unlock the phone than you can unlock the bootloader

Debranding basically removes all the bloatware that slow your phone down. You can't sim unlock with debranding, only with special code provided by some other sim unlock sites/ebay

Exactly that. Try to enter it correctly because there is a limit on how many times you can enter to network unlock code. If it doesn't work on KitKat, downgrade it to 4.3 and enter the code. I had similar problem where I was unable to unlock on KK but on 4.3 worked fine.

Well, about that, I have a "plan", or, better said, a contract between the carrier and the cellphone, so, I must wait for two days to complete the "legal" contract. So, after that, I guess that I can unlock the device and then, unlock bootloader.
Thanks for everything!

[Q] Bootloader unlock problem

Hello guys!
I'm trying to unlock bootloader of my Z3 the official way but i have a problem.
First my phone says "bootloader unlock allowed : no" and then when i try to unlock it it says "failed".
Here are pictures that will explain my problem.
Is there any way that i can unlock it?
Thank you in advance!
The bootloader unlock on your device is sadly not possible as far as I know. As long as it states "bootloader unlock allowed: no" it will always fail to unlock it.

No, if it says no, it cannot be unlocked. There is no way for it to be done. Endex

Unlocking re-locked bootloader

Hello.
Background:
I have re-locked my bootloader in process of recovering my phone from bricked state(I have used service firmware to recover it). But now I can not unlock bootloader again since asus official unlock tool says that there is "unknown network error ... [104]". Asus offical support says that my phone is no more supported and so they are not going to help me.
Question:
Is there any unofficial methods to unlock bootloader? Is it possible to make official unlock app to work again without changing motherboard?

Thanks in advance.
