I recently unlocked the bootloader and I already logged back into everything after losing my data and now I don't think I will be able to recover access to every account again so can I somehow get root access without losing data?

Make a backup with twrp or orangefox and then flash magisk. After reboot normally the phone is rooted or bootloop, then you have your backup

Hi,
I don't want to install any custom rom or unlock the boot loader , I just need to Root without any wipe.
Is it possible ?

You cannot root without first unlocking the boot loader.

This guy is wrong. Motochopper will root without unlocking the bootloader. Then use bootunlocker from the play store to unlock the bootloader without wiping your data.

Or you can simply unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery, boot in recovery, wipe cache, and then you will boo normally without any data loss.
The secret is to not boot after unlocking without clearing cache.

No toolkit needed lol

Just to confirm that motochopper works on stock locked 4.2.2 without wiping data.
Hi
I recently got a Nexus 4 after always having had iPhone, so I am quite new to this. =)
Is it possible to root a Nexus 4 without losing the data folder? Either by simply never deleting it or is there any way to get a backup of everything in the data folder(including hidden files and everything in /data/app, etc.) to my computer(windows or mac), when it isin't rooted?
All the rooting guides I have looked at until now says that they will wipe the phone, but I also read a discussion that said it were possible to gain complete access to the data folder by either manually rooting the phone or by not unlocking the bootloader? I posted somewhere else and someone there said that what I want is SU in the OS, but I am not sure about that, since I haven't heard more.
Thank you =)
You can root without wiping data. The trick is to not boot into Android after unlocking bootloader. You do things like this:
1. Setup your pc ( drivers, fastboot )
2. Unlock your bootloader
From now on, you must not boot normally, or else your phone will be wiped.
3. Flash a custom recovery.
4. Enter recovery
5. Wipe cache
6. Flash the SuperSu zip to root.
7. Reboot.
Now you should be rooted, and your data should not be wiped. But I'd make a backup is I were you.

I dropped my 6p and now have no screen and no touch.
The device is rooted on stock 7.1.1 with unlocked boot loader. and fingerprint scanner is working. I can answer the phone and make phone calls with Bluetooth and hear notification sounds but dark display and no touch.
I want to backup my data before sending it to repair. So far I was only able to adb pull the SD card. I cannot use adb backup because it requires the confirmation on the phone. any suggestion how I can backup the data without any touch access on the phone?
Also, if I go to bootlaoder and flash the entire stock there, all my data is erased right? what happens to fingerprint data stored on the device? If I relock the bootloader, will it do a factory reset? in another word what is the best way to do a factory reset and erase everything without access to phone screen and touch?
Any help is really appreciated.

If you do a clean flash of the factory image all of your data is erased including your fingerprints. You shouldn't lock the bootloader before flashing the factory image. If you aren't fully stock including recovery and lock the bootloader you could brick the phone. There isn't really a need to lock the bootloader before sending it for repair.

Thanks. I just did a backup in TWRP using adb.
If I receive another refurb 6p instead of what I send, Can I restore this backup to a new phone or something will not work because the data partition is encrypted?
Should I do a wipe data and system in TWRP before going to bootloader and flashing the factory image?

I'm pretty sure you can't restore the backup from one phone to a different phone even if it's the same model. Maybe somebody knows a way to do it. You don't really need to wipe anything in TWRP if you are going to do a clean install of the factory image. The install will wipe everything.
If you have Usb debugging enabled you could also use Hisuite by Huawei. Do a google search for it as I can't post a link due to new account.
Hi, a while back I managed to flash the Open Beta 3 for the OP5 but I ended up losing my files because of encryption.
Anyways, I'm not able to OTA or dirty flash any updates. I've tried both stable OOS 5.0.2 and the Open Beta 5 updates.
This is the message I get: https://i.imgur.com/wigXV3f.png
unless you relock your bootloader you won't be able to update. i tried everything. make sure you backup your data before you relock bootloader beacause this process will wipe everything.
cmd code to lock bootloader - fastboot oem lock

Yeah that's really annoying, that's what happened the first time when I lost all my data.
What steps do you recommend for backing up? I have Titanium pro. So I would basically have to backup, relock, wipe, flash, root and restore?

i backed up apks and copied all the data to my pc. my app data was gone.
My Nexus 6P is not rooted, bootloader is also locked. As the BLOD is imminent threat, i want to unlock my Bootloader. But i'm unable to find any app to backup my entire phone. Personally i like nandroid backup from TWRP, but without root, it's not possible, and in order to root i need to unlock BL which inturn will wipe my /data partition. See my dilemma here?
So, if therer is any software that can backup my phone while i unlock BL and restore my data?

Just backup and sync with google it's decent now. Can't remember if internal gets touched maybe backup to computer or thumb drive to be safe.

Thanks. I decide to bite the bullet and go for bootloader unlock. You are right, google backup is now amazing, i've even got back my call log and sms. App data is also restored, but no internal Memory is backed up. luckily i did copy my Internal memory.
So, TL,DR: Copy all my internal, did google backup. Unlocked bootloader, Got TWRP then root using magisk immediately (otherwise TWRP dosent stay), restore backup. Got old phone back
