Update on my own post:
After futher investigation I decided to proceed and unlock the bootloader with the automatic tool (see first link of my original post here below).
Everything went fine.
Thanks anyway to forum members for all the informations I've got.

Dear all,
I've been reading around the forum and especially through almost all the 2 following threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160408
You guys have to excuse me but I'm still not sure if it's safe to proceed with unlock process with the "Automatic Bootloader unlock.." tool provided with the first thread.
I'd really like not to brick my phone so I'm asking who really did the unlock to confirm if it's safe to proceed.
Really appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi there,
I am a noob who has been following the threads in this forum and I managed to unlock the bootloader and root my Nexus 4.
Now I apologise if the following question has been asked before, but I did not find an answer that I understood.
Let's assume that in a few weeks/months a new version of Android is released. Can I install it without losing the unlocked and rooted condition of my device?
If yes, any easy (for a noob) to follow tutorial?
Thanks very much.

Next version is probably out later this year, October-November. If you apply the OTA, your bootloader will remain unlocked, but you lose root. You will only be able to root it again, if devs find a way. They usually do, just not necessarily instantly.
Hello everyone, I'm a brand new member with a couple questions.
I have read many threads here and elsewhere and have recently found two possible sources of information to help me finally unlock my boot loader > backup nandroid > flash cyanogenmod. Profit.
My Droid Razr M has root access. System Version: 98.18.94.XT907.Verizon.en.US / Android JB 4.1.2 / Build Number 9.8.1Q-94
Wen I started, I got used to the idea of staying with JB 4.1.2. It has worked well over the year. And having root and Titanium Backup has given me great power over my phone.
I would like to ask if it is possible to both root and unlock the newer KK 4.4.2 using the these methods I have found and my phone.
First PrankCallPimp youtube guide states I need to flash from JB 4.1.2 to Verizon stock KK 4.4.2 using RSDLite
Second Mr. Blue Coat provides a better stepwise guide outlining root access and unlock procedures, but starting with KK 4.4.2. Very Complete Blog.
I have assembled all of the files these sources suggest to have on hand during the project.
Additional questions. Is PrankCallPimp's method to flash to KK 4.4.2 using VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml files in RSDLite correct? His video cuts out after a while. After flashing KK 4.4.2 the phone will be similar to a factory reset and be susceptible to OTA updates. Currently I use Voodoo OTA to prevent updates. Should I reinstall Voodoo OTA to prevent Verizon pushed updates or go from there to root access and boot loader unlock procedures?
I have never liked following a youtube guide and wonder if there is a printed version I could review before starting. Also I installed RSDLite and my phone can be detected by the program.
I think if Mr. Blue Coats guide is acceptable to everyone, I could follow it with no problems.
What I'm worried about is giving up my currently profitable root access on JB 4.1.2 to go to KK 4.4.2.
It seems that if I really want an unlocked boot loader, I must take KK 4.4.2
If these two guides work, with someone's help, I would be happy to join them into a single clear guide to post here.
I lack the experience most of you have so I'm reaching out with these questions before I even consider going through with this.
Thanks All. Ps. I'm in no hurry.
Read this thoroughly
Thank You
Thank you for the ultrafast help!
There was my answer: 4. RESTORING / UPGRADING STOCK FIRMWARE.
And all the additional tools required for root access and boot loader unlock.

Do this steps:
1) Download KitKat stock rom. Link below.
2) Flash stock rom from windows with RSD lite tool. Follow this tutorial to download and flash stock rom. LINK
Steps that worked for me in this tutorial
3) 2. BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING wih APK.
Good luck!!
The most obvious guide on XDA is the All in one Oppo a37f guide :- rooting, downgrading , unlock bootloader and many more
However that is only for the A37F not the A37FW. I've tried the guide there and my phone got bricked (it won't boot and kept vibrating)
Searching the internet doesn't have answers either, so I'm pretty sure the oppo A37FW can't be rooted.
I'm asking only to confirm this
EDIT: I also need help on unbricking my oppo, I've followed this tutorial but I could not get the volcano tool to work. Please advise..
EDIT2: I fixed it by following this tutorial
The bottom line is if you want to root your A37FW, then do not upgrade the phone version and let the build be 160xxxi instead of the latest 170xxx - then you might be able to root your device using KingoRoot. If you upgraded your phone, at the moment you cannot root your device as its patched. So we have to wait.
this firmware help me from brick

want to know about a37f ro0t process any guide?
here is the link to the guide, I have an unlocked pixel, but this can solve the problem that depixel8 solved https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/help/bootloader-unlock-verizon-pixels-t3616101
Dear moderators,
This post is not a guide.
The linked post isn't a guide either as it simply doesn't work.
Hello guys,
I need some help to root my phone. I googling and realized that the SM-950U1 is one of the most annoying Samsungs to root, so I came here to ask for your help !
I am extremely layman and I have no idea what to do to get my root, I searched the internet and saw that the first step would be to enable "Oem Unlocking" in "Developer Mode", but this option did not appear on my Android (9.0 Pie), so I saw that there is a way to fix this, but I followed several tutorials and videos and no method worked...
I am willing to do a little donation to the kind soul who can help me
Thank you !

The U / U1 ( Snapdragon ) models don't have the ability to have the OEM unlocked.
For possible root method see s8 rom section and check out threads from jrkruse.

I don't own a Snapdragon variant.
I would suggest yout post your question on the jrkruse threads and wait for a response.
