Hi Friends,
Very quick and simple question:
Is there a way to Root (and maybe Unroot) the 6gb RAM model WITHOUT unlocking the Bootloader?
I only ask because unlocking the Bootloader voids the ZTE 2 year warranty, and there is no way to reverse/relock it, correct?
Thanks for your responses!
Read the root without unlock thread and the newbie unlocking guide.
Thanks bud, so looks like it is possible to root without Bootloader unlock? How about going back to stock after root?
@lafester or some other helpful member, can you please link me to the pertinent thread that I could use to root the ENHANCED (6gb RAM model in the US)? Preferably, I'd like to root with the Bootloader unlocked too, ONLY if there is a way to return to complete stock, including relocking the Bootloader.
Simply speaking, I want to order the phone and try it, but am not sure if I'd be able to live with the camera performance and etc... I'd like to be to root and unlock Bootloader, if I can, but if I don't keep the phone, I'd like to return to complete stock. Can someone help? Thanks!
I gave you the threads already.
@lafester I am sorry bud, but I didn't see any links in your post. Also, any chance you could simply answer my question, if you have the knowledge ? Would deeply appreciate it. Thanks!

If an Android is rooted and running a custom ROM, is it considered "unlocked" or is that another procedure. I have rooted and loaded custom ROMs to a few of my Android phones, but never thought about whether that unlocks them. I know this may sound like newbish question and I appologize, but I am curious. Any help I would greatly appreciate. Thanks.
The phone is still considered "locked". Root / Custom ROM won't unlock phone. you'll need an unlock code to unlock it.
Thanks man, you cleared up my question.
Hey guys I'm asking on behalf of my gf (i have htc sensation xe, so i'm not using lame excuses ) Her phone is not rooted (yet ) and I'm wondering whether is possible to unroot the atrix 4g so that it goes back to "brand new"/out of the factory status and there are no warranty problems related to the rooting.
Also: is it possible to flash a custom rom without unlocking the bootloader (so that warranty is not voided)? And does going s-off void the warranty as well?
Thanks in advance for the support!
What carrier are you using? VZ has a root & flash counter built into their devices with ICS. As far as other carriers you should be fine so long as you restore everything to stock. As to the bootloader I haven't looked into the Atrix, but the majority of Moto devices require an exploit to flash Roms though the bootloader actually remains unlocked.
Giving you the quick and dirty on this. I promise you if you search your questions have already been answered in detail elsewhere.

Sorry i couldnt find a section for my device and i believe the bootloader question kind of depends on the phone.
Last i checked the phone was to new for root support or roms. Just dont have time to investigate every thread i find.
I think all i need to know is if the bootloader is unlockable and if the phone is cloneable . I have a zmaxpro with a broken screen but functions fine. And another matching one that looks new but is frp locked(google activation reset shiz). My plan was just to swap the guts and be done, but my android experience and love for this website makes me think i can just flash partitions from the broken one to the locked one overwriting the frp bs.
Any advice or link in the right direction helps. Thanks for reading

Just FRP unlock it it's simple.
Dear XDA Members and U Ultra owners,
I just recently purchased the U Ultra sapphire glass edition 128GB Dual Sim and I would really like to install the deodexed firmware with root that's available. However, in order to flash that firmware, I think first I'd need to unlock the bootloader and get TWRP? Is there a current guide on how to unlock bootloader and side load TWRP?
I'm familiar with the whole process just haven't seen a guide for this phone as of yet, or at least haven't looked well enough to find one. I thought I'd ask here and it would make it a little bit easier.
I have unlocked bootloader on many phones before and I was wondering if it's the same process for this phone... Do I have to unlock it through HTC Dev? And what about TWRP, where can I find it for this phone? The website? Or is there a custom build version for this phone since its not that popular?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
So I guess I found out where to get the recovery from... Does this work with the dual sim version? https://forum.xda-developers.com/u-ultra/development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3558540
I guess the only thing left now is the bootloader. I could use some advice on that.

I managed to figure it out. I attempted to unlock the bootloader through HTC Dev website which was a fairly simple process as I've done this several times before. I'm just waiting on the email for the unlock.bin file and for some reason it's taking its time and I've not received it yet, been well over an hour. Odd isn't it? Or is this normal?
Now I guess my only question is the S-on/S-off.
I remember with HTC M9 and 10 you had to use sunshine to s-off. Is that also required with the u ultra?
Sorry, forgot to make an update letting everyone know that all of this was taken care of successfully, I'm currently rooted and on a deodxed 8.0 Rom with magisk and twrp. Everything going great!
hello and thank you for this monologue ...
I am on the site of HTC dev but in the choice of the phone there is no U Ultra, is it normal?
Would it be easy to tell me more about the S-off method, and more, please?
hi guys
is there a root method for snapdragan.
i could find much info.
can someone please guide me
thanks

does this apply rooting this model ?
thanks
Mostly, I think, except that you may need a paid service to unlock your BL to get the ball rolling - Pls check this forum's relevant threads for further info on this aspect.
(I have N9860 SnapDragon variant; I cannot comment specifically about N986U.)

It doesn't apply to U/U1 devices. You have to use a paid unlock service, bit if you're already on bootloader 2, there's no way to root currently.
