No wonder, whoever have root access to device can do wonders on android device. Root is nothing but having administrator privilege to make system wide changes, changes applied using root will applied without any question. no more, no less. whatever happens to device(system) you are your own, "SU" is nothing but "super user" and root is a super user which is from UNIX and Linux.
After unlocking android device bootloader, you need to patch su(binary file) command into android system which will allow you to run commands from adb shell prompt as root user.
There is no universal procedure to ROOT device, everything depends on the android device company, so based on manufacturing company you can google and get your device ROOTed

Thanks, helped a lot.
Unsure of what happened to my phone
Hey, I was trying to root my zenfone 2 ZE551ml by following a youtube video. It asked me to first put superSu.zip inside the SD Card which I did. Next - unlock the bootloader of my phone by downloading an zip which has an unlocker.bat file. Then it asked me to flash TWRP recovery using fastboot which I also did and then to boot into twrp and install the supersu.zip. I did everything but the last step, as when i tried to boot into the recovery to use twrp, the phone restarted, came to the white asus screen, stayed there for a very long time and then went back into the bootloader.
At this point I got frustrated and thought of reinstalling everything. So I downloaded the zip file for the latest firmware, flashed recover, boot and droid boot and then when I restarted the phone to go into the recovery, the white asus screen just keeps on repeating itself. The device keeps on shutting down and then restarting but never goes past the white asus logo screen where it says "powered by android", doesn't even let me get into fastboot.
I am new to all this and any help from anyone is highly appreciated. Thanks

how to install recovery
Hi, good day.
I am having 0 response when I hit this command. setprop system.at-proxy.mode (number) Do you know why ?
Device is rooted, since I've unlocked the bootloader using the ASUS app.
Fastboot erase config....
After that I stucked at boot logo
Used xfstk then aft but stucked at boot used fastboot commands for flashing system all gonna smooth but stucked at boot...
Used recovery to sideload marshmallow ... succeed. But also stucked at boot ..unlock boot loader flash TWRP flashing custom rom also stucked at boot logo... PLZZ help me guyzzz
And it shows error in TWRP
Unable:to mount Config(invalid argument)
I'm on step, Run setenforce 0, but it returns an error message, "Couldn't set enforcing status to '0': Permission denied". Please advise. Thank you in advance!
I have seen a lot of people using unofficial and third-party methods to root, which can result in a lot of adverse circumstances to say the least.
So I'm presenting a complete noob-friendly guide to rooting.
Prerequisites:
1. A computer ( I'm using Windows 10 but any OS would do)
2. A USB cable
3. Basic computer know-how
Part 1 (Getting computer ready)
Download sdk tools (adb and fastboot) from here
Note that in the entire guide I'm using official products.
So in Windows, download the zip and extract it in any folder.
Now download latest twrp recovery from here
The lastest version as of 7th August, 2017 is 3.1.
The downloaded file will be named as twrp-x.x.x-0-x3.img.
Now rename this as recovery.img (this will make our work easier)
Now move that file to platform-tools folder which we extracted earlier.
Also, I suggest downloading Intel USB drivers for Android from here
Part 2 (Getting Phone Ready)
Unlocking bootloader didn't format my phone but taking a backup is still important.
Now go to Settings<About Phone and click on Build until it says "You have become a developer"
Now back to main settings menu and find "Developer Options". And turn USB debugging on.
Download magisk install.zip, unistall.zip ans apk from here
Now connect your phone to PC via USB cable.
Step 3 (Rooting!!)
Now open platform-tools folder and press Shift+ right click.
Select "open command prompt here".
Now a terminal will open.
Type
Code:
adb devices
Now you will get a prompt on your phone. Accept it.
Now type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone will automatically reboot and fastboot will come up.
Now type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
[Alert! If you get <waiting for device> right click on start menu, select the unrecognized device and install Intel driver in it. Google for detailed instruction]
The process will start and you will get something like
(Okay ....)
(Okay....)
And type prompt. Now type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flashing will start.
When you get type prompt again, type
Code:
fastboot reboot
And when the screen switches off, hold power up+power button.
(
Code:
fastboot reboot emergency
should work but it's effect was same as
Code:
fastboot reboot
If you get something like red state... verification failed... Then it's a good news.
Wait a few seconds and then twrp will launch. I suggest swiping on the first screen
[because letv is almost dead and we can't expect any updates. Plus my bootloader was relocked in my first attempt when I didn't swipe.]
(I suggest wiping dalvik cache and cache)
Now you can just reboot your phone normally.
Now install magisk apk.
Now reboot again to recovery. (Easiest way is Update app>tree dots menu> reboot to recovery)
When twrp starts, go to install> download and find magisk zip. Swipe to install.
Reboot and you have a fully rooted phone!!
Will it work with Le1s eco x509

Intel drivers worked for my leeco le 1s. Ideally, Intel drivers should work for all devices.
I'll make a tutorial with screenshots on setting up the drivers whenever I get time.

There was a prompt for TWRP update and Magisk Update.
After it has started showing Orange State instead of Red State.
The phone got rebooted and all installed apps were deleted.
Xposed got uninstalled.
Playstore, Googlemaps got unistalled.
Camera is working.
Calling is working.
Now it shows Orange State.
Is it safe.
Can we bring it to red state?
As per this link
https://www.androidauthority.com/verified-boot-warnings-in-android-6-0-marshmallow-650368/
Orange warning: Your device is in an “unlocked” state. This means that your operating system can’t be checked to make sure that it’s safe to use.
Red warning: The operating system on your device has been changed or corrupted and is not safe to use. The device may not work properly and could expose your data to corruption and security risks.
Orange State seems to be a better state than red.

N.B: My phone shows Orange state
I recently rooted my MI A1 phone and installed RR rom and since there were malwares, I removed my RR rom and put stock rom.
Ever since this issue, my wifi is dead, it says connecting, saved and then disabled. I tried the below steps but nothing is working for me.
Kindly advise - as my phone is dead for almost a week now. I tried the below two methods and details of which are given below...kindly kindly help..my phone is just 4 months old and i need my phone back working.
Method1:
----------
(worked but wifi still has the same issue - not connecting)
used this to restore my mi a1. only flash /persist image.
if your persist partition is corrupted
than you will notice that your phone will automatically reboots in under 60 seconds
To restore persist partition download persist.img
fastboot boot to twrp
and copy persist.img file to root of phone storage
now open terminal in twrp and give the following command
dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27
this will restore your persist partition and fixes the issue of reboot
Method 2:
------------
did not work for me. put my results below.
1. Power Off your phone
2. Hold Volume- and Power together until you see rabbit, then release both buttons
3. Connect phone to PC, install fastboot drivers (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sV2dqzt-c_MMJvQ3r-2bLubIVpZrGZpl/view)
also unzip this archive to C:\
4. Run cmd.exe as Administrator, change active directory to C:\Tools (in cmdline type "cd C:\Tools" without quotes)
5. execute command "fastboot oem unlock" (without quotes, sure)
6. fastboot oem edl
7. now you're in EDL mode, install drivers from the same folder if necessary
8. Open XiaoMiFlash, select folder with unpacked Wifi Patch
9. Press Refresh, and after port appearing, press Flash
10. When you see green Success, disconnect phone and power it on by holding Power for 10 seconds
11. That's all. If you need locked bootloader, boot phone to fastboot mode again (as in 1st step), and perform "fastboot oem lock" and then "fastboot reboot" in cmdline
My result
C:\Tools>fastboot oem unlock

Not far away, a planet nearby...
After some research, apparently, there is no longer any free way to unlock the bootloader....
So I went to the cash register hoping it would be reliable XD.
For information, I still contacted nokia support

Bootloader of my successfully unlocked Nokia 6.0 !
I just had a driver problem on my computer.
If you are in the same case, my problem has been solved by installing "OST tool" :
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-iwfKu7PHygVV5Ok4_lSibCW4ATeFpBu
run the "launcher.exe" and restart computer
Thanks Techmesto for the key.

sorry for taking so long in getting bk to u i decided to get rid of this device and got a pixel 3 xl thanks.
stupid Nokia, why bother rooting this with a pay service!
and a bunch of instruction, waste of time!
I own a xiaomi 9 se for unlocking BL just take a week, oneplus 6 just need a second!
I'm not saying anything about techmesto, but I do not know them. Man, do you know the damage someone can do with an IMEI and S/N? Damn Nokia.

Thanks for the super indepth guide! I've been waiting for years now for HMD to release the bootloader unlock tool for the OG phones, but that's clearly never gonna happen. Techmesto charges 8 dollars for the key and the downgrade + unlock, but 5 dollars for just the key. So I think I'll follow your guide to downgrade and then purchase the key from them afterwards.
Unable to unlock bootloader for realme2pro .
Phone details :
Device Name : RealMe 2pro
Realme UI version : V1.0 | RMX1801EX_11_F.12
Model : RMX1801
Kernel Version : 4.4.194
ColorOS Version : V7
The app recommended by many websites which is "INdepth testing" to apply and after some time it enables the phone to unlock app is not working tried a lot of app for various sources link provided none are working, the app crashes on the phone after clicking on the apply button.
After that used the adb command line on windows 10 where after typing the commands :
-adb devices ==> it shows device connected
-adb bootloader reboot ==> reboots the phone into the fastboot
-fastboot flashing unlock ==> This is the where problem is after typing this command the output in the command prompt is
< wating for any device >

and it keeps on like this while nothing also happens on the phone it is on their in the fast boot menu.
after some time clicking on the "start" it boots the phone into normal as it was.
Same Problem
You have to make sure you've fastboot.exe in the same folder.
Type fastboot devices to verify that your device is detected
