[Q] How ROOT and change bootloader on a 2.3.6 Rom?

Hi,
Due a problem updating the bootloader, the phone had a soft brick.
The only ROM I was able to flash after that was a 2.3.6 Vodafone 4.5.1-134_DFP-139.
As I understand this ROM wasn't downgradeable and now I have a standard bootloader.
Can I install a new bootloader? How? Can I root this ROM? I wish to install a CM ROM.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my bad english.

Yes,you can.But it's not necessary.You also can root the rom,and you must need the right tools.
Hi, what are these "right tools"?
Give me a link please
Help please
I have made an FAQ thread about it. To root use SuperOneClick. Rest of the info is here. In case of any doubts feel free to ask me.
The problem is that you can't root with SuperOneClick 2.1, the new one of SuperOneClick v2.3.3 seem work but now the problem is with Superuser....
I can't install 2ndinit
Ok, a cuple of reboots after SU worked now I have 2ndinit instaled.

all you need to do is goto htc's dev site for unlocking http://www.htcdev.com/
no other steps are necessary if all you want is an unlocked device to allow apps root access... i think this is what you are asking

Wrong ! Unlocking the bootloader will not give you root acces .... Like guich said, unlock , flash a custom recovery , and push the superuser.zip to gain root acces .
This is the second post this morning i read from you where you give incorrect/strange advice ! Please stop that and search for the right answer first yourself
Thank you !

Then wht u can do is first unlock you bootloader Goto www.htcdev.com n unlock
Then u can flash cwm revocery and flash the latest superSU.zip file
After flashing custom recovery take a nandroid backup just incase sumthing goes wrong!

[Q] Rooting with locked bootloader (? HELP)

Hi! I've been trying to root my Z1C with various programs, like towelroot and etc, and it's not working. I read that you don't have to unlock bootloader (unfortunately even I want to, I can't ) to root your device.
I know that there's a lot of other thread about this. But can we acces root without flashing or something like this? I'm really a beginner in these things. Or there's a way to downgrade android (I really don't want this, I like this new Lollipop)?
Oh and without unlocked bootloader, can I get in recovery to install zip files? Sorry for these silly questions.
Can someone help me please? (sorry for my bad English, I'm Hungarian!)
My build number is: 14.5.A.0.283
you cant root you phone IF you are on Lollipop ROM you need to downgrade to KK by flashtool and best is KK108. After that simply download newroot by munjeni and turnieju on USB debugging and unknown source. And pług your phone to pc and start newroot and thats all. Very easy

Oh. Thanks for the reply. Can you get link for great Tutorial? Or maybe you could write me what to do, you said it's easy...
EDIT: What if I pre-root an 5.0.2 Firmwire?? With PRFCreator?

Aha... I got stuck at
Code:
7. Open Terminal emulator and type :
"Su"
Allow root permission
Type:
"sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh"
It says: /system/bin/sh: su: not found.
I had this also. I took an other version of kingroot
I think I used the latest. Check the kingroot thread.

Okay, now I downgraded back to KitKat, now I'm fully rooted, with dual recovery. So....now if I flash the new android via recovery, the recovery will disappear???? I mean, I want to install root from recovery on the 5.0.2.

If You flash a PRF, it should have a recovery. If not, You can still install a recovery since You will be rooted.

How to root on CM-based rom?

Hey everyone!
This is probably a very nooby question, but i cant figure out how to root on a custom rom. I have ResurrectionRemix rom installed with trwp recovery and RemixKernel.
My device is l9192 (dual sim).
The root in the FAQ only links to the root Toolkit which i used on stock rom and it says to not use it on custom roms. Same for all other roots here.
Tried to install superSu from playstore and reboot with trwp, but it doesnt ask me if i want to root.
Can someone explain me how to do it?
I really appreciate any help! Thanks!

Hi, you'll find the LineageOS Root addon packages here: https://download.lineageos.org/extras
Flash in Recovery and your new Root options will be available in Developer Settings.
Download SuperSU recovery flashable ZIP from here: http://www.supersu.com/download
(Scroll down to ZIP, and click under "Latest(V2.82):")
Enter TWRP recovery and flash the ZIP file, reboot.
