Is there any tool/chance to root my htc one s without unlocked bootloader?
Thanx!
I'm in 4.4.4 stock, locked bootloader, non-root and s-on. I want to be in stock lollipop with tethering enabled. I'm not in US
I know that I can get s-off with WeakSauce+sunshine (then root, unlock bootloader and enable tethering) , but since i'm not in US I can't get OTA update, then I have to use RUU.
Then I'm thinking to get s-off, apply Lollipop RUU, but to enable tethering i need a custom recovery, then I need to unlock bootloader. But to unlock the bootloader I need root (since I can't unlock it by htcdev) and I can't root if i have locked bootloader.
Any ideas?
the same to me, but now I have updated 5.0.1,also s-on and locked.

Sunshine gets you s-off and unlocks your bootloader so that shouldn't be a problem for you. Make sure you get s-off before you update to lollipop. Sunshine doesn't support lollipop yet. Once you have a custom recovery installed it's a simple matter of flashing a zip file in recovery to get root access.

Just need a yes or no. I've read tons of threads but can't get a simple yes or no. I inherited this phone so I couldn't unlock before taking an update. Can I root this phone:
Yes
or
No
No, you cannot currently root a Pixel on NMF26O with the default locked bootloader. The current root method requires an unlocked bootloader, and the exploit that previously allowed the Verizon bootloader to be unlocked does not work on NMF26O.
Can you flash back to OEM image and unlock then reflash new build then root?

No. You can't flash unless it is already unlocked.
Is there anyway to get an unlocked bootloader? I am still running stock nougat with bootloader v4. Can I flash G930U and unlock bootloader that way? I really just want to install custom ROMS. I have no need for regular root.

I am not technically rooted anymore, I only have twrp and a unlocked bootloader. I am on 9.0.3 oxygen os and have no magisk. Root apps don't work and root checkers say I ma not rooted so I assume I am not rooted. How would I relock the bootloader so I could use Google pay?
