yes you can, there is a way in this forum to root. but still some problem after rooting keep showing up.

not sure what makes a50 so problematic to root?
is it android 9 or the device???
everything else is easy to root.
with a50, you can root but have to keep using key combos on boot or lose the root.
don't understand why so difficult with this device.

You need to install twrp first. Follow this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a50/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-a50-t3916199/amp/
That twrp is already patched with magisk in the recovery partition. So if you already flash that twrp into your device, consider you already rooting your phone. :fingers-crossed:

One-X Root without Unlock/Wipe?

Hi Everyone,
Hoping someone can help me with this one. Okay long term, I want to unlock my bootloader, but I've just got my phone set up exactly how I want it. I was hoping to run a backup, so then I can unlock bootloader and restore - but I need root to do it. From what I can see, in order to get root, I need to unlock the bootloader. I'm seeing a very vicious cycle here.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can at least get root without wiping my phone? Or some way of backing up without root?
Thanks all!
There is a method to backup via adb.

Stock recovery?

Hi,
Just wondering how to boot a 100% stock z1c into recovery? Does the bootloader need to be unlocked? Some instructions said to press volume up or down a few times when the notification light comes on, but the light doesn't turn on.
Sorry for the newbie question...

There is no stock recovery. You can install a custom recovery (e.g. CWM, TWRP, etc.) without unlocking the bootloader. There are a few tutorials on the forum.
That explains it! Thanks Chief.
It looks like unlocking the bootloader then installing Cwm is the easiest way to go. I'm not interested in Drm.

Keep in mind DRM keys = warranty. Your last sentence also means "I'm not interested in warranty"
Yeah, I'm tinkering with it. I thought that much was obvious!

As far as I understand you have to root your device first to install a recovery - i might be wrong though
Try here for a foolproof rooting method:

In the "What you can do next" section there is a link to NUTs dualrecovery - works like a charm and is reaally easy to install.

Thank you xCJ999,
I'm just wondering that if it possible for me to install only one CWM recovery without unlocking the bootloader?
Cheers

uhm, not sure I understand what you want ... cwm recovery without twrp? what would be the downside of being able to choose between 2 recoveries?
You can install dualrecovery without unlocking your bootloader and get both philz & twrp. There is a link for installing cwm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620794
But for that one you need to unlock your Bootloader.
the recovery wont get installed if bootloader is locked...ps:most of the xperia devices

[Q] Doubts in rooting

So far I've had only Samsung phones, which were rooted by flashing a zip file through the built-in recovery (containing signed SuperSU).
Now I have a 2013 Nexus 7 and I'm looking at the rooting guides and I see bootloader unlocking, flashing custom recoveries and a lot of other things which personally confuse the hell out of me as to why are they needed.
So I wanted to ask if there is a way to just flash a zip file with the SuperSU (and buzybox) app like how it's done on the Samsung phones? Or if there is a method that doesn't require replacing the stock recovery / flashing ROM components?
If anything its easier than any Samsung device but the thing is don't Root if it confuses you at least until you understand how to do it there is tons of guides online

That's kind'a my question, it's not that I don't know how, I just don't get if all the side-stuff in 90% of the guides is actually needed, so I asked if there is a way to just get SuperSU working without any custom-recoveries or other side-things.
To my knowledge, you need to have a custom recovery to root it. Unlocking the bootloader helps with this, as it ensures recovery and root sticks.
Or, just use the Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit to unlock and root.

I was in the exact same position as you four days ago, up until then the only android devices I had owned were the Samsung Galaxy S2 and S4. It is quite different to the rooting process on the samsung devices but just as you did with the Samsung devices you will learn as you go along. My bootloader is unlocked, rooted with a custom rom and it was pretty easy to do

A sideload would only be needed if you didn't dump SuperSU on the phone first.
Unlock bootloader
Flash TWRP
Flash SuperSU
Done
Get wugfresh's nexus root toolkit. It's made for the novice in all of us.... Works great, self updates, awesome help section.. Look into it.. It's made specifically for the nexus line of products
Thanks for the replies guys, but noone seems to say what is the minimum that neds to be done for rooting.
I'll re-ask my question in a different way:
When rooting, does the bootloader always have to be unlocked and a custom recovery always needed to be installed?

Bootloader needs to be be unlocked, but can be relocked after rooting
AFAIK, you can use stock recovery, but custom offers better options/control over the situation. Most roms/kernels are flashed via twrp or cwm..... You can flash through rom toolbox if you choose to stay stock recovery
You can use Towel root to root your tablet in about 30 seconds. It'll also unlock your bootloader for you.
Cousin recovery is only needed of you intend to flash kernels and Roms and the like. If, like me, you only want root for installing things like xposed then you don't need to bother with one.

Yes, all the steps that are listed are required for rooting your Nexus. I understand what you are asking and I was also hesitant at first, but it was super easy to root and I didnt use the WugFresh took kit I manually rooted mine, following Zedomaxs Video tutorial, that way I could stop and Pause it at every step to make sure things were happening as they should here is the link

I confirm towelroot works on the 2013 nexus 7. After rooting unlock bootloader with app from google play. This method does not wipe user data or need a computer at all. And if root is lost and the towelroot exploit is patched with the next os update you can reroot the old way.

Well root yes. But if you delete the bootloader you will not be able to "load" anything to "boot"
In other words device will be just a brick

Well original state , Android has always had a bootloader. You cannot delete it.
Maybe you just want to unroot and relock bootloader?
This is possible. And answered in the thread. Do a search.

Couple of warnings first. If you are new to Android and rooting, you might not know, lot of times problems(bootloops) happen when you do not do it correctly.
If phone is not on full stock unrooted system then locking bootloader will cause phone to "brick".
Do you have reason to need it locked again?
Usually to unroot all you need to do is flash the stock boot.img if you are on nougat or stock Ramdisk if you are on Oreo.
Magisk manager has an unroot option that will work only if you installed root from twrp.

Well if what you want is to update. There is hwota for doing g that while rooted. And when it finishes you will be updated, unrooted, and if you want bootloader locked.

that's a pretty exotic manner to root your device lol (I guess you meant TWRP and not Twerk because I don't really want to think you twerked in front of your phone and gained root privilege instantly, no one is that attractive)
Did you flashed the Magisk zip? What was the zip you flashed?

Wow I think you need to reset the whole thing... Do a backup before, and flash the stock rom with twrp. I'm not specialized in unbricking phones, I know that's an option but someone with more experience may know a way around the reset. Do some reserch on how to unbrick and if you don't find anything then just wipe and flash the stock rom (or a custom rom)
