Is rooting permitted for Zenfone max pro ?
I mean will I loose warranty if I root my phone ?
No.
Rooting will void your warranty.
But you can always unroot it , when you want to claim warranty.
before rooting, you need to unlock bootloader.
unlocking bootloader voids warranty.
if you unlock bootloader, I think you can't relock it again. but unlocking unofficially may be relocked.

Hi..
I just order an Unlocked Motorola Atrix 4G from Amazon.... They says it's unlocked and I can use any carrier (AT&T or T-Mobile or any GSM Carrier).. But my question is do that phone has unlocked Boot Loader too.
Amazon ship with that phone with Android 2.2 on it and i want to Put custom ROM on it...
Can any one guide me to Find out what should i do first...
How to find out bootloader is unlocked or not... and how to flash CM7 on it.?
No phone EVER comes stock with an unlocked BL, unless it's specifically designed to be a development phone.
Also, why do people always confuse bootloader lock and SIM/carrier lock?
Thank You

Both I think. My Atrix came unlocked, but I had to root and unlock the bootloader.

You can root without unlocking the bootloader, but you need to unlock it to flash custom ROMs.

Yes you can unlock the bootloader without rooting

Yes you can unroot and lock your bootloader and also flash the stock rom if youve used a custom rom

1. Yes you can.
2. Well if you're planning to flash anything after unlocking, you'll have to flash a custom recovery before doing so.
3. Yes you can flash stock rom/kernel/recovery and then relock the bootloader if you need to send your phone back for warranty repairs.

1) yes
2) If you unlock the bootloader you do not HAVE to flash a custom recovery, it is just recommended that you do.
3) yes and no. google provided stock images that you can use to restore your phone. At the moment they aren't officially available, but with some searching you can easily find them. Any time you root a phone, you void the warranty, however, most phones don't provide a way to flag the manufacturers that you actually have rooted it.
I am currently asking myself if it is smart to update my phone after the bootloader unlock and before flashing a customer rom. Will I get newer camera (etc.) firmware or will I just loose the bootloader unlock?

Updating after a bootloader unlock will keep the bootloader unlocked, No worries there. Just be sure to follow the exact steps for flashing the custom ROM

You mean not to use OTA updates after bootloader unlock, right? Will OTA relock the bootloader?

No, you can take OTA's after unlocking boot loader, it will not relock automatically.

Hey, should I unlock bootloader using official tool provided by asus or should I go with unofficial adb method. Will i be able to relock bootloader again if i unlock using official tool?

You can try both. Official unlock will void warranty forever and no stock ota updates will be pushed for your device. Whereas this doesn't happens with unofficial unlock method means you fan claim warranty and get ota updates after relocking. That's the only difference.
You can relock bootloader no matter how you unlocked.
Can I still relock bootloader after using asus' official unlock tool? Thank you
I know im at fault for not researching more before unlocking it but im still going to try here and ask if I can still relock after unlock using asus official unlock tool.. thank you
