I very recently purchased (as in less than a week ago) a Google Pixel (5") from the Google Play store. I would like to root it, but have a few questions that I could only seem to find vague answers to online. Firstly, does the Google Play purchased version of this phone come automatically with an unlocked bootloader? I saw several posts online that this was the case, but the posts are all pretty old (10/2016, about 9 months ago) and nothing really since then. Is there a way to verify/check if the bootloader is unlocked?
Secondly, the phone I got has Android 7.1.2 (build NKG47L). These - posts look to be the most recent info on rooting this phone, but they mention a different build number. Does anyone know if this is still an accurate process?

Hi..
I got lucky and received a new phone from TMO's insurance to replace the one I took for a swim in a hot tub. The only downside is having to start from scratch to root/unlock/etc everything.
Since I last did these things in May, 2012 (with SuperCID/S=off a few months ago), I had forgotten the steps and came here to XDA. I wasn't going to post this since I figured I would just try and look around for the threads I originally used, but when I went to the stickied root thread in the Development section, the first link (for fastboot files) was dead...
So... hoping to avoid a lot of time chasing down dead file links (and since there have been a lot of changes since that original thread such as the ability to get S=off), I thought I'd just ask if there are any recent purchasers of the HTC 1S or anyone who is in my situation, and if they knew of a better/updated thread with all of the steps from unlock through S=off....or even (if someone could be so kind) just give me a list the steps they followed and an approximate location as to where to find the necessary files.
Thanks a lot!

This is just pure laziness.. There's always Google which has helped me a lot when it came to dead links.
The hansoon toolkit link still works.
You can always Google for the android fast boot files which I did last week.
I just recently s-offed my device without running into any dead links...
In other words: keep looking.

I don't expect anyone to hold my hand—I only inquired if there was an updated thread.
Of course I realize that I could Google everything if there was any reason for that (like, for instance, if this phone was only released 2 weeks ago), but since people have been doing these things for quite awhile now, I wondered if someone had compiled an updated thread and further, I also had reasonable expectations that there might be one since so much as changed.
If not, I know that after chasing down dead links and spending 5x the time it would otherwise take if there had been a thread which had a clear, integrated/comprehensive list of steps for unlocking, rooting, recovery, flashing a custom Rom, getting SuperCID, and getting S=off, then I would certainly make one after I completed everything.
Why should anyone have to repeat all that mindless work of searching down multiple websites, forum threads, and posts if someone else has already done it? That's crazy. I guess you or others don't share in that attitude.
I did all steps a week ago...and again yesterday for a friends phone...every link on the supercid, s-off, unlock and root topics works as of yesterday.
just pure laziness

I am waiting for it....till then you might link my post.
I have searched everywhere and I can not find anything relating to this topic that isnt like a year or more old. With the new update that changed my build number to LMY47X.N915AUCS2COI6, but left my version the same (5.1.1) I was wondering if anything has progressed or if its a lost cause.
Duplicate.
OP created an account and another thread:

I was curious why there is no Forum for the Black Shark 1 but for the Helo (which is not released yet and only available for China at least in the near future) while there is a release in the works on the 16th for the Global Version of the Black Shark in Europe. So it would be great if we could either have one Forum for both devices with Subforums or one additional for the Shark 1 since i wont get my hands on the Helo in the near future but do have the Global Shark 1.
Kind Regards,

I agree it's kind of hard to find the topic again. There is one for it but you have to google it to find it. Built-in search leads me to here.

Peace be upon you. I need to make a root for my device. I searched all the sites, but I did not find my root for my device. I ask you to help with that. My device's name is Huh SKR_HO issue number G66X1910301OS00MPP
It seems to be difficult to find any forums on the blackshark 1. Even reddit has only one or two forums on the phone, which is a shame because an obnoxious issue with APPS closing randomly since android 10 update has led me here. Sucks that I have to post a bunch before I am even allowed to post a topic though.
Hello everyone
I asked this question in the Samsung Galaxy S9, but got no replies. It seems similar questions have been asked there and got the same response. Trying a broader audience now.

Hello everyone. This is my first post on XDA, and I'm something of a noob, but eager to learn more.
Ok, so I haven't rooted a phone for 7 or 8 years, and there's certainly more to worry about now. I managed to get it rooted with Magisk, but I'm struggling to get the Secure Folder app to work, same with the Non-Samsung alternatives Island and Shelter.
I've tried to use the Smali Patcher but no luck.
I spent most of yesterday hunting around for a solution but got nowhere really. So my questions:
1. Is there a current known workaround with the stock ROM
2. Is there a custom ROM that is known to fix the problem?

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered a thousand times. I just haven't got anymore time to spend trawling through forums for a while.
Hi folks, I apologise in advance as I am totally new to the rooting and modifying android terms but I am looking for some advise if this is the right place or even pointed into the right direction. I recently purchased a Oneplus 9 which as far as I know came CN with Google (as advertised) I was looking to root the device and change the imei, part of of it is me being slightly paranoid and from reading a few peoples opinions on forums this is something they would recommend doing.
Basically I was wondering how would I do the above, why should I or maybe why shouldn’t I
Again, apologies and thanks again for any help
