Anyone tried to unlock bootloader by the asus official app in marshmallow?
Or tried to flash the tethered recovery and then flashing supersu zip?
Just try old methods to root your phone. Turn on USB debug and run the script.
If you can unlock bootloader with asus official app, then current custom recoveries should be okay.

Did you try any of the root methods?
The one click unlock doesn't work. Neither does tethered custom recovery. Haven't tried the official unlock tool. Not sure about root because I have no need of it to try.
I don't need the bootloader unlock or a custom recovery. Just root to get rid of these apps that can't be removed. 6.0.1 is pretty bloated.

What apps do you want to remove that need root to do so? All the 3rd party stuff can be uninstalled without root, and nearly all the ASUS or Google stuff can be disabled.
There are some Google apps and most of the ASUS apps. They won't let you uninstall so the phone needs rooted. Plus Viper, Titanium, Adaway etc will not work without root.

They won't let you uninstall but you can disable most of them. There's no benefit to uninstalling system apps because the space cleared in the system partition is not useful anyway.

Well as I said before it's bloated. I prefer mine debloated and in addition to that you cannot use certain apps unless you have root.
Been about 2 months since the last time anyone posted on here, any news on unlocking the bootloader on Z00A/ZE551ML tunning 6.0?
I root mm rom (version 61) with temporary tarp, just like lp rom.

Only problem I'm having is I can't get into TWRP once everything is done. I can get to the bootloader but no recovery mode. Normal boot works fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/tool-ze551mlmodder-t3458145/page39
Hi,
I'm following this site for years now, whenever I need to root my phones or just have some technical question related to them, mostly I find the correct answer right here. So, I decided to ask something for the first time, because couldn't find an answer good enough about this matter.
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge (G935F) right now and I decided to root it for the first time. Didn't go so well, I got the "Verification Failed, Unable to restart your device..." error. Doesn't matter, I lost everything I had on my phone, but now it's working again. But after I wasted 2 hours and a lot of data for nothing, I realized, that I can't use a rooted phone anyway, because I need multiple apps (bank applications for ex.) which won't open on a rooted phone.
I have three questions:
1) Is there ANY method to successfully hide my phone being rooted, which works a 100% for apps like bank apps?
2) Can dual boot solve my problem, having a primary custom, rooted rom, but having a secondary clean rom for only these few apps? Or those apps check for something deeper, than that?
3) If 1) and 2) won't work, is there any other method to have a rooted phone, but use apps which doesn't work on a rooted device?
TL;DR: Wanna use bank apps on rooted phones, but they won't start because of the root. Any method to make it work?
Thanks in advance!

What is Magisk? A custom ROM? A custom recovery? A root thing like SuperSU?
A little more explain would be good, like the title says, I'm a newbie.

Guys , how to unlock Mi A1 ?
Fine for me.
You have to tick it in the dev options
Edit: tap several times on the build number to unlock the dev options.
Have you used the GCam tool?
Just tap on Build Number until dev options activation, touch "allow OEM unlock) then reboot to fastboot and {fastboot oem unlock), if you lock the bootloader again you will lose all of your data.
After BL unlocking your phone will be uncertified (can't pass SafetyNet).

This is expected behaviour in case you are unlocking. Becuase, when you unlock, your data will be in risks.
In some devices, it's implemented for locking as well.

User data still here until the bootloader still unlocked (so, with this ROM, don't lock it)
OTAs doesn't work.
Flash it with TWRP, just flash from stock April Oreo, no wipes.

Not really. I have unlocked my bootloader and have'nt got any problems with SafetyNet. When I check it on magisk It passes with no issues. Also I'm able to use banking apps with no issues.

If you have Xposed you will never pass SafetyNet either. But you need up to date Magisk at least.

I have latest Magisk just for the GCam Module...
Probably because you installed xposed.. I did too and finally I reflashed the ROM to avoid the SafetyNet problem. With xposed allways will get fail on SafetyNet test since It modifies the system partition. Magisk don,nt.

I'm wanting to only unlock bootloader, but otherwise keep everything stock. Will just unlocking bootloader invalidate CTS checks and deny things like Android Pay?
I also want to keep getting OTAs, keep stock recovery and remain rootless. I just know I'll eventually want to root, but i don't want to be forced to wipe when I do
NOTE: I get my 6T in a few hours
I use Android Pay all the time with my unlocked and rooted 6T. If you end up installing things that mess with the system partition and SafetyNet like Xposed then Android Pay will not work.
So just the act of unlocking the bootloader will not disable Android Pay in my experience with my 5T and 6T now.
It was basically the same for me. I just tested it for you and Google Pay seemed to work fine. I do know from the DRM Info app that my security level went from L1 to L3, which I guess means no HD video on sites like Netflix or whatever, which I don't use on my phone anyway. That's about all I know so far
Thanks guys! Super appreciate it! I remember seeing posts about people just unlocking bootloaders on other devices causing issues, I didn't think it would. Gives me a great peace of mind before I do something silly!
Magisk will keep SafetyNet valid.
If you're unlocked but NOT rooted, you'll need to use a custom kernel.
If you have an unlocked bootloader without Magisk and without a custom Kernel, you will fail CTS and in turn fail SafetyNet.
Oh no. Unlocked bootloader, ran an update and got the attached images.
Looks like unlocking the bootloader kills off Google Pay and CTS
@hartleyshc seems to be correct. Might have to lock it again

I'm not currently rooted on any device,but,shouldn't using Magisk fix what you're concerned about? (At least in relation to this particular phone).
The one reported thing w/unlocking the b/l is Widevine Level 1 is downgraded to Level 3,preventing video playback at HD quality on some streaming content.
AFAIK,there is no Magisk or Xposed module that fixes DRM on b/l unlocked phones.
That's been shown to be the case with this phone,YMMV if this is an issue to you:

Main thing I want is just Google Pay and certain games, Widevine I'm not terribly fussed about. Right now Google Pay is complaining after just unlocking bootloader, no other modifications
Magisk does fix it, but I'm trying to be more hands off now, I don't want to have to install something after each ota, do manual updates, etc

Install and stay on the latest version of Magisk. If there's any apps that complain about being rooted, you can use Magisk to hide itself from that app. (Pokemon Go and banking apps seem to implement this most frequently).
Especially if you don't care about widevine, I'd suggest just rooting. It will be easier to install some sort of mod in the future than having to unlock your bootloader again.
Go into Magisk settings and toggle the options to download and install the latest beta of Magisk. That way you can always stay current and always pass SafetyNet.
I was rooted on my Nexus 6p and I can't remember the last time Magisk failed SafetyNet for me except when I wasn't current and I'm a very frequent Google Pay user.

From what I understand if he has Magisk his device should be rooted. Since I have valid SafetyNet check with stock kernal. I would share my Magisk hide.
P.S. Make sure that "Logger buffer sizes" under "Development tools" is not "Off" otherwise Magisk hide will not be triggered.

But that's not what they asked. They said they only wanted to unlock the bootloader. You will fail safetynet that way.
Safetynet checks against unlocked bootloaders. There's currently two ways to bypass this check. With magisk, or with a custom kernel.
Also this thread was almost 2 months old. No need to bring it back up. Their question was answered.
Hi I need your help, Iwant yo re-lock the bootloader on my OnePlus 6T
I understand that I have to go back everything on factory but I dont know how do it.

Check this thread, and follow local update method, then you need only of a command to lock the bootloader:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/how-to-update-return-to-stock-oneplus-6-t3870795
I just locked the bootloader for my OnePlus 6t. Follow the steps given below.
1. Backup all the important data. I am not responsible for any data loss!!!
2. Remove security lock screen (pin/pattern) or any thing
3. Download the stock rom from https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_020_all_1904032212_38e22c8b9abd42e3.zip
and transfer it to your phone.
4. Boot into twrp recovery.
5. flash the downloaded zip
6. Once done, reboot the system.
7. Now, boot back into the fastboot. (you can enable advance restart from developer mode for easy boot into fastboot)
8. Run fastboot oem lock
9. You will be presented with two options on phone screen. Select the one that says lock the bootloader.
10. It will wipe everything.
11. Once you in the system, enable developer mode and make sure that oem unlock is turned off. If not, turn it off and restart your phone.
And, you are done.
Let me know if it helps or if you have any question/concern.
MDM Tool in my opinion the easiest and quickest way to go back to 1000% stock. It will re-flash every partition on the phone so it's like brand new again. Using the MSM Tool guarantees that everything is back to stock and should restore the Widevine version back to L1 or whatever it was originally.
A question please
Once you lock again your phone, does it loose the root????
I mean, I have a Xperia 10 with the bootloader unlocked , it is root as well. Now root permissions for special aps work fine, but Google Pay is unusable, it does not work anymore. I hid root with xposed framework and rootCloak, but Google Pay still does not work now because the bootloader is unlocked...
As you should know, it is possible to lock the phone again... and many of those phones that relock their bootloaders keep the root permissions...
However , in my case, with Xperia devices (bq and xiaomi happen de same) is you lock the bootloader again, the phone resets, everything dissapear and root is eliminated. What is a really disaster.
As you have heard, the majority of phones, if you lock them again the root continues working, at least the apps that you gave them root permissions they continue working as they used to. But in my case this is different....ç
So please,
Is there any possibility to Lock my bootloader again without loosing the Root in my Xperia?????
Thousand of thanks!!!!

This is the only Thread where I could find some information about locking a bootloader again. Yes , this is dedicated to xiaomi 6t, but locking bootloaders is something common.
The only thing I want is to lock my Bootloader again without loosing Root permisions. Xperia devices seem to RESET everything when you lock the booloader automatically...., but perhaps there is another way.... a possibility to lock the bootloader without the phone is reset (loosing root permissions) ....
I asked for some help here. I regret any inconvenience that could may be caused on this thread with my message.

Nobody have your phone here how could we help you? Each phone has its specific behavior
If you relock a OnePlus phone you reset everything, like when you unlock it and it's logical. A locked bootloader is meant to ensure safety of data, safety that can't be provided with root access. Locked BL and root are antinomic.

Thank you for your message and understanding. So in Oneplus devices happen the same. So once you unlock the bootloader you loose Google Pay forever because it does not work wit BL unlocked...
Some users suggested me to lock again the bootloader,
Imagine:
- I become Root. Then I modify some apps
- I give to some apps root permissions.
- I lock the bootloader again.
- I won't be able to modify my phone anymore, but all those apps that were given root permissions, Will they be kept in the phone although it has BL locked again.
would it be like this?
or all changes you did while being root would dissapear with everything?????
If So... there is no exit what I see..., We have to choose between being Root users.... or being stock with Google Pay. It is a Pity.
I was not sure if all Phones reset and erase everything when you lock the bootloader .... but as I can see here, this is the reality. Root users loose Google PAY definitely.
Is there any option to solve this??
thanks again for your attention.

I rooted my xperia using Magisk..., is there any tutorial or info that you suggest to me to follow ? or what should I do in magisk options???
I have 10 days with my phone stopped, trying and trying to make Google Pay works....Maybe this is happening to me because my Xperia uses Android 9.0.... or Magisk should make google pay work even being in android 9.0?
First Google pay recognized Root, and the app stopped working. I hid it using xposed and RootCloak
Then, Google pay recognized Bootloader. But now... I dont know what to do to hid bootloader unlocked for Google..., Google pay recognises it is unlocked... a disaster and a nightmare for me, I dont know what to do...
