I'm using zuk z1,android 5.1.1,a normal device as it is from manufacturer.I want to root my device. As I am newbie I got a doubt, does unlocking bootloader means rooting device? After I unlocked my bootloader with help of my computer,can I directly install TWRP manager app from play store and flash TWRP recovery with that app?l don't want to flash it by PC as I don't know much about it. Can I flash supersu with smartphone itself.
No. Until you don't install KingoRoot Or SuperSU. Your phone is not permanently rooted. Rooting is the Android equivalent of jailbreaking, a means of unlocking the operating system so you can install unapproved apps, deleted unwanted bloatware, update the OS, replace the firmware, overclock (or underclock) the processor, customize anything and so on.

Well, I believe that using the manager won't make any difference with flashing it using a PC. And once you have flashed the recovery, reboot into it and in my case, when I was trying to reboot to system from TWRP it popped a message and told me that your phone is not rooted- Do you want to root and install SuperSU? And that's how I rooted mine. However after booting into the system you might want to update the SuperSU and the binary to the latest version!
Try it! Hope it'll solve the issue. Feel free to ask any doubts! Because that's what we do here at XDA!
Flashing the custom rom with rooting the device make the device less secure and we cannot use the internet banking applications so , can we flash the custom rom without rooting the device ! If, yes then what will be the procedure !?

Jajajajajaja sorry but your question is very funny????
But no, it's not possible install custom ROM without root
I would think one can flash when booted into TWRP. One needs to be unlocked though.
The custom ROM you flash does not need to be rooted either.
In fact one can boot into TWRP from fastboot. So one does not even need TWRP on the device itself.
You do not need to root your device to use a custom ROM. But if you wanna flash GApps, then you need to root your device or it may not work as intended.
Wrong, Gapps can be installed from TWRP which has unlimited access to the system partition. In that sense, TWRP is "rooted". But this has nothing to do with the installed firmware being rooted or not.

Wow this thread exploded with mis-information.
You can install custom ROM's unto your device via TWRP, as well as flash GAPPS and any custom kernels, mods etc you'd like WITHOUT having to gain superuser access within the ROM itself.
You WILL however require to unlock your bootloader that, at least as far as I know, WILL trigger safety net and thus render certain applications (like said banking apps) unusable. To avoid this you can flash magisk, an alternative root solution that also masks certain aspects of the device that allows the device to pass safetynet while retaining root.
There are plentiful amounts of tutorials out pretty much everywhere that will allow you to easily unlock your bootloader, install twrp and root w/ magisk if desired, etc.

I don't think you can relock the bootloader when on a custom rom. This will probably brick your device since it will fail the checks of the locked bootloader and then you will have a bricked device with a locked bootloader.
So yeah, you also spread some misinformation I suppose which is even more dangerous than what the other users suggested.
+1, no way you can relock your bootloader after installing a custom firmware. Bootloop guaranteed.

Could have sworn you could do this but I guess I was wrong, sorry for that.
Edited original post.
I've unlocked bootloader with the official tool but didn't do root. Now I have trouble with GPay saying that my device cannot be used for paying.
I don't need root now. So, the question is: is there any way to relock bootloader without rooting the device, installing TWRP, Magisk etc? Or, maybe, can I just trick GPay into believing that everything's fine without relocking?
Any response would be strongly appreciated.

If you don't need root, why did you unlock it in the first place? You can't relock your bootloader if you have unlocked it with official tool. But by installing Magisk, you can use GPay. If you don't need root, disable it in Magisk settings.

I was trying to resolve some strange unmanageable issue with BT headphones volume and sound quality by installing Ainur module. But somehow it resolved on its own during the unlocking process (due to reset, I guess).
Anyway, I've got the answer: no GPay without root and Magisk. Thank you!
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
I have a Magisk-rooted LG V35 running some uncertified custom ROM installed by former owner. I'm wondering if it is possible to flash an official stock ROM on the phone without losing root? My goal is maximum compatibility with standard functions (e.g. VoLTE, Google/Firebase Cloud Messaging, etc.) with root.
as long as you dont lock the bootloader, you can flash the stock firmware and then root the phone
even if you lock the bootloader, you can unlock it, but it's a bit harder
