Sony XA2 Ultra (H4233) Android 9, Data recovery Help - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I moved the screenshot folder from my phone to the PC (with mtp mode ), and many photos were lost.
I have used diskdigger. Without root, it only has a basic scan .It's not enough.
I want to get root with Magisk, I searched that it needs to Unlock Bootloader, which will clear the data.
Dose anyone have a solution that can Unlock Bootloader without erasing data or other ways to get root? Can I install Magisk if I don't Unlock Bootloader? Thank you.

[Completed] [Q] Catch 22:need to root phone to recover data,need to wipe to unlock bootloader

Nexus 5 Stock Android 5.0.1, unrooted and bootloader locked. (H20 network which is AT&T)
It's my understanding that I need to root to recover data using 'Scalpel' software on Linux laptop and to have access to the raw data via usb.(to copy blocks of data over to laptop via USB)
However in order to gain root I need unlock the bootloader and in order to do that I need to wipe which defeats the whole shebang.
What can I do? Any ideas appreciated.
-Thanks

Oneplus 7 pro stock root

Hey everyone !
I'm looking for rooting my OP7 pro with Magisk but I know it will go from widevine L1 to L3 (not a big deal for Netflix but banking and password storing apps can be a problem).
So I've got 3 questions, we don't need to wipe the data before or after rooting the device ?
Do you have some problems with apps like keepass, banking (pay with your phone) or others ?
And last, is it possible to install OTAs after rooting the device without any problem (brick, bootloop or wiping all data) ?
I've already found some answers but I wanted to know more to decide if I'll root it, and which way I'll do it.
Thank you !
I've not rooted but from what I've learnt oem unlock will wipe your phone before root. Banking apps can be fooled with magisk modules. It's tricky to flash new updates & some of them results in bootloop.

You need to unlock the bootloader in order to root. And the bootloader unlock process will wipe user data, by definition.
Banking apps will vary in what they look for (root, unlocked bootloader, etc.). Many will work as long as you use the Magisk Hide feature to hide root, as the previous reply mentioned. I've seen post regarding a few bank apps, which seem to be able to detect the bootloader is unlocked. So really no way around this (that particular bank app won't work) if you want to stay rooted. You should NOT lock the bootloader on a rooted device (phone will not boot afterwards). Having an unlocked bootloader and root go hand in hand.
I've updated by OTA several times while rooted, and no issues, and data retained. Some folks have had trouble, probably due to the Slot A/B partitioning on the phone. It does make updating with root a bit trickier (as previous response stated), as you need to install TWRP and Magisk root to the slots in a particular way. There is a guide how to do it, which I've followed and it's worked every time.

That being said, I always backup any important data to my computer (or other off-phone means, such as cloud) before doing an update. Just in case something does go wrong.

You can't temp root without unlocking bootloader and you can't back up TA
Hi,
I don't think that Mackay53 is right because you just need an exploit and someone how knows to handle this exploit to gain temporary root access - WITHOUT unlocking Bootloader.
I've had some SONY devices and except my Xperia 5 II I had backed up the DRM-keys before rooting it (ok, I did a permanent root, but the way is the same ;-) )
So you have to wait for an exploit and someone who knows to use it

Ulefone S8 pro - rooting without unlocking bootloader possible?

Hello,
i have to root my S8 pro now because the whole internal memory is nearly used by apps and system.
Is there a opportunity to root my device without unlocking bootloader?
I found magisk to modify the boot-partition and for example getting root on the device.
But you have to unlock the bootloader to flash the new boot-partition. I also read that unlocking bootloader always means that the whole device is resetted to factory-defaults which means losing all installed apps.
I have about 50 !! banking apps for generating TANs. For these apps, it's not enough to reinstall the app. You also need to reconnect the app (especially the device) to the banking account.
I think the only way to backup the the configured and connected app is to have root on the device, right?
My plan was to root the device without unlocking bootloader, then make a full-backup, unlock bootloader which resetting the deivce, and restore the full-backup.
After this, I un-root my device because the banking-apps check if a device is rooted. My plan is t re-roote the device using magisk only when needed and when no banking app is used, and then un-root it again.
Any idea how to solve my problem?
Regards
UP

Really?
unlocked bootloader ist neccessary all the time while device is rooted, not only when flashing?
