Hello I just bought an LG G3 D855, and so far i can say that i like it. I just have some questions because i would like to root to remove the bloatware
1) do i have to unlock the bootloader to root?
2)if yes, is there a way to relock bootloader and restore warranty?
3) Is there any tamper flag that I should reset after flashing stock for warranty?
thank you

Hello
1 - Not have to unlock the bootloader
With Lollipop we need to downgrade the bootloader
2 - So not relock the bootloader
3 - No tamper flag, , it's not a samsung
If you have lollipop it's here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/d855-one-click-root-twrp-recovery-t3072767

Hello guys, sorry because may be this is the 50th time someone ask this question but the situation change every day. Yesterday I won from lottery and decide to go from G3 to G4. My model is European H815, I want to ask you can I root G4, change the recovery and e.t.c. without unlocking the bootloader? And also if I unlocked it is their any way to locked it again or to use my warranty? Thank you!!
well you can only root using low effort root(google it or find it here ) But to change recovery you have to unlock bootloader
No there is no way confirmed to relock your bootloader
GOOD LUCK
Thank you! If I root by this way and download Flashify and try to change recover what will happen ? Thank you!
without bootloader unlocked nothing will chnage ( recovery wont be installed ) and when you reboot your phone it will get u error (authentication error #9) as i remember and you will have to flash new firmware using lg flash tool 2014 so i dont recommend you do so
if u wanna change recovery unlock ur bootloader
you are welcome anytime
I did not get it, I hope you can light me up:
1. Doing root using low effort root means rooting without unlocking bootloader? (because I flew over the thread and did not read anything about it)
2. If I do unlock Marshmallow's bootloader, what happens when I downgrade to Lollipop via flashing proper KDZ? (I would guess that the unlocked bootlader will be overwritten!? So flashing Marshmallow again would end up in a locked bootloader, doesn't it?)
thanks
You can root lollipop without unlocking bootloader but with marshmalow you can't, you have to unlock the bootloader.
You need an unlocked bootloader for custom recovery.
Bootloader unlocking is a one way operation , you can't go back.
Hello
1) Can you root Android 6.0 without unlocking bootloader?
2) Can you relock the bootloader?
3) Do you lose warranty if you unlock the bootloader ?

If you unlock bootloader and then lock it (when the method will be available) will you have warranty?
Impossible to relock a bootloader ! and never avalaible ...
Nobody of devs ( chainfire and others included ) have succes with all sort of hacks , it's to much securised by encryption ...
Hey guys, I'm new to the Redmi forums, I've been on XDA since 2012 and have been using mainly Xperia devices.
So just had a few doubts regarding this phone(bought it last week)
I read about the procedure to unlock the bootloader and everything.
1. I know unlocking will void my warranty, but can i then relfash stock rom and relock bootloader to show that the bootloader was never unlocked? We could do that in Xperia.
Is it possible to do it now?
2. Will just rooting require the bootloader to be unlocked? And if yes would the warranty be void if I unlocked the bootloader and just root the phone without flashing custom ROMs?
Unlocking bootlader procedure doesn"t void you warranty. At least in Poland
Rooting requires unlocked bootloader. Im not sure about rooting, but you can always flash offcial miui build and its going to unroot your Redmi and relock you bootloader

1. As far as I know the warranty is not void. I have not seen any such warning. But please do check from your end.
2. Rooting will need unlocked bootloader if you are doing it via the recovery. Maybe one click root apps wont. I dunno of any one click root apps for RN5 Pro
Unlocking bootloader don't void warranty of xiaomi phones its confirmed
Changes in rom may void warranty like rooting
But u can again clean flash rom with mi flash restore to factory stage is possible
I am planning to sell off my Motorola G5S.
At present, the bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
Can someone tell me how to unroot the phone and lock the bootloader?
Additional Information: I used the following thread to unlock bootloader and root my phone.
