Hi newbie here, I want to flash cm 13 on my J500F but I have few Questions,
1) DO i need root access to unlock bootloader, to flash TWRP recovery and CM13?
2) To unlock bootloader do I have to just enable the 'OEM unlock' in developer options and that will unlock my bootloader? or Is there more procedure?

So oem unlock just unlocks bootloader for custom binary like custom recovery like TWRP in our case. No you don't need to root stock rom to do that. Just flash the right version of the recovery. Next thing is to follow cm13 installation instructions (about what to wipe and so on..).
I hope that i helped you with my answers. If you continue to have questions, ask them bellow and don't forget to quote my reply so I can find yours more easy. Have a great day.
I just flashed the recovery then CM13 and it was rooted. I have however give back to CM 12.1 as CM 13 ain't finished as yet.

Rembember: If you wanna back to 5.1.1 android you need to downgrade firmware.
Yes thanks, I used Odin to reflash 5.1 first then reinstalled recovery then reinstalled Resurrection remix 12.1. it was a good move phone is running allot better than it was on CM13

Hello,
I am looking for a smooth method to lock and unlock the bootloader on my Nexus Player. Although being it is not a phone I guess I could just leave it unlocked... I am also looking for the best current method to root the Nexus Player on 6.0. I have been searching but I keep coming across guides for lollipop.
Thank you in advance!
Unlock/root guides are similar. They are the same except for the files used.
For Android M - i use fugu-mra58k. Use Chainfire's beta-supersu-v2.51 and it requires custom boot img, can be found on his tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps...ellow-t3219344. There is supersu2.52 but im not sure if it will have issues. My NP was already unlocked so I just flashed factory,moved supersu2.51 zip, boot into bootloader and flash twrp and CF's custom boot.img. At this point DO NOT restart NP, just boot it into twrp and flash supersu (you'll need otg+mouse attached). reboot and you should be good to go.
I have flashed twrp recovery and got it without unlocking bootloader, what happens if I try to flash CM, will it cause any issues, because bootloader isn't unlocked?
Probably
Btw how did u install recovery ?
HELP!!!
How did u install twrp brother????
plz help me out.Im stuck in bootloop.
For safety just unlocked your bootloader, flash the latest twrp3.0.2-5 and flash CM13/CM14. Make sure you are on stock MM firmware before flash CM13 version and above.
Hello, due to a selfie block I had to install TWRP and CM14.1
Is there a way to reinstall the stock rom?
If I try to install from TWRP, risk that hangs around?
ps. the stock rom I took from the site Asus, if that.
Please, I'm ruined, I accept any advice
pm me i will help u to rool back i found how to install OFW and CFW easy !
Iex727 is it ok after flashing 19s emmc_appsboot.mbn to unlock bootloader and flash twrp then su is it safe to just reboot back to stock 21s without issues?no passwords?
Sorry if been asked.all the guides I've read include a custom rom.
Hope you haven't been waiting all this time, but yes, should be fine. Personally i would go with magisk for root though.
I've already unlocked, installed TWRP and custom ROMS on several devices, so i know about fastboot, ADB, USB drivers for my device.
But with zenfone3 it's still pretty confusing for my brains so please be patient with me and explain the following:
I have a new zenofone 3 updated to stock oreo 8.0 already by OTA and i want to unlock, instal TWRP/Root and a oreo custom ROM.
In some guides for unlocking in this forum i read about flashing a RAW image before unlocking. Is this really necessary? If so: what for?
And then after unlocking i read about installing stock OREO again. hmm...
Please could somebody post here short necessary steps for my zenfone 3 with stock oreo 8.0 to instal a custom ROM OREO 8.1 on my device?
Thanks a lot in advance!

1) There are 2 ways to unlock
Official- This method is very easy (just download the bootloader unlock apk to unlock but this method will void warranty and you will not get any OTA Updates
Unofficial- This method is safe too, but it requires to flash RAW files (this method retains warranty and you will get OTA Updates)
The reason why you should flash Oreo RAW because Factory RAW can only boot FASTBOOT and touch screen will not work.
Just follow my steps and you can install custom ROM without any issues.
Hello Team,
I have rooted my phone (OP 6T McLaren) and wants to re-lock the OEM.
How did I root it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL2XwYDDW2s
Tools used to root the phone - TWRP (twrp-3.2.3-2-fajita), Magisk (v20.1) and fastboot
Current Details
Oxygen OS Version - 9.0.17
So the question is - Can I lock OEM with TWRP and Magisk on the phone? If not, how and would much appreciate if someone can put me in the right direction please?

Reflash your rom through local upgrade to get rid of twrp & root..
And then proceed to relock the bootloader via fastboot
Relocking the bootloader will wipe everything on your phone..
Locking your bootloader with TWRP and Magisk will result as a brick i thing, it's not adviced to do so. Only relock when everything is stock
