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?

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.

Is there a way to just root your phone without unlocking your boot loader? I just want to simply root and install some apps that require root but that is it.
Thanks...

I'm pretty sure that you need to unlock your bootloader first.
Not sure if you can unlock - root - relock ??
I think this is not possible yet without unlocking the bootloader.

Once you unlock and relock your bootloader, its status will be relocked, so your warranty is void anyways.
So I have to unlock the boot loader first. Dam I assume that is on the difficult side of things as well...

If you want the status to show "locked" and not relocked to get your warranty back, you can use the downgrade package from nougat to marshmallow and flash stock B131.
I managed to relock my bootloader using this method : my fastboot screen says "locked" (and not "relocked")

Wait for kingroot method. No need to unlocking bootloader to root, people do it because its only one way to have root on honor 8 now - by flashing supersu in twrp, and twrp/modified recovery you can flash only if you unlocked your bootloader first.

How do I root my tmobile s7?Also once it's rooted how can I flash zips since bootlaoder is locked?
If I only unlock my bootloader (and don't install Magisk right away), will my phone still pass the Safetynet check or will the unlocked bootloader trigger it? Or is it just root that triggers it?

Yes, unlocking bootloader unrooted will trip safetynet on stock kernel. You will need to flash snoke kernel for bootloader unlocked and non-rooted to pass safetynet.
Ok, that was what I thought, thx..
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.
