[Q] Can I root without unlock the bootloader or to locked it again?

Hello guys, sorry because may be this is the 50th time someone ask this question but the situation change every day. Yesterday I won from lottery and decide to go from G3 to G4. My model is European H815, I want to ask you can I root G4, change the recovery and e.t.c. without unlocking the bootloader? And also if I unlocked it is their any way to locked it again or to use my warranty? Thank you!!

well you can only root using low effort root(google it or find it here ) But to change recovery you have to unlock bootloader
No there is no way confirmed to relock your bootloader
GOOD LUCK

Thank you! If I root by this way and download Flashify and try to change recover what will happen ? Thank you!

without bootloader unlocked nothing will chnage ( recovery wont be installed ) and when you reboot your phone it will get u error (authentication error #9) as i remember and you will have to flash new firmware using lg flash tool 2014 so i dont recommend you do so
if u wanna change recovery unlock ur bootloader
you are welcome anytime

I did not get it, I hope you can light me up:
1. Doing root using low effort root means rooting without unlocking bootloader? (because I flew over the thread and did not read anything about it)
2. If I do unlock Marshmallow's bootloader, what happens when I downgrade to Lollipop via flashing proper KDZ? (I would guess that the unlocked bootlader will be overwritten!? So flashing Marshmallow again would end up in a locked bootloader, doesn't it?)
thanks

You can root lollipop without unlocking bootloader but with marshmalow you can't, you have to unlock the bootloader.
You need an unlocked bootloader for custom recovery.
Bootloader unlocking is a one way operation , you can't go back.

Bootloader unlocked allowed: no to YES

Hello dear members,
I have a Sony Xperia M5 variant e5606, today i searched and searched for an answers and ended up with no luck. I can't get root access because of the bootloader does not allow it, So I'm asking is there a way to flah my Sony so I can remove unwanted apps and leave it "clean"?
thank you for your time
Cheers!

You can unlock the bootloader and flash a custom kernal with root access. You will find these in the android development section for the m5

Nope can’t unlock the boot loader the phone won’t allow it. It says “bootloader unlock allowed: NO” can’t change it to YES, I have an unlock sim so I can make call with every SIM card.
Thanks for the replay

Unroot and Re-lock Bootloader

I am planning to sell off my Motorola G5S.
At present, the bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
Can someone tell me how to unroot the phone and lock the bootloader?
Additional Information: I used the following thread to unlock bootloader and root my phone.

Thanks in advance.

Help with rooting of honor 8 pro

Hi everyone.
I have honor 8 pro (DUK) which has locked bootloader and yes I know it is not possible (officially) to unlock it. I have read several threads which state that unlocking bootloader is not necessary to root your mobile. Ok that was interesting, so I have searched all alternative methods of rooting which does not require unlocking bootloader, but none of them helped.
Attempts I made:
1. Many guides show to root the device via twrp. Flashing twrp requires unlocking bootloader, so out of options.
2. Tried to flash the twrp image via adb command but i get the message 'Command not allowed'. The obvious reason could be the locked bootloader.
3 Tried with Kingoroot and King root, none of them helped.
4. Magisk is unable to flash the magisk.zip file (I don't know why) and hence unable to use magisk as well.
Any other methods to root my device. Please help me dear developers and members. I don't want any custom ROM, all I need is to root my device.
Thank You.

Following. After Huawei/Honor decided not to provide the bootloader unlocking. I do not think we can and now there is no development for this handset at all.

Yeah and its sad that we are stuck here.

Install custom ROM or root with out unlock bootloader

Hi my Sony Xperia xa2 say bootloader unlock no is there anyway to force software or at least root with out unlock bootloader thanks

This is not possible. In order to flash anything to the device, the bootloader must be unlocked. The whole point of the bootloader lock is to prevent flashing anything; firmware is updated via OTA.
