You'd need an exploit in ICS 4.0.3 itself to do that and we don't currently have one.

lol...please NO!! brainwash
you cant do root here easy way because HTC doesnt wont us to do so. ... thats all and simple as that. with another brands like samsung is the process short and easy. blaim HTC ...
android is open source... ICS 4.0.3 its not the problem at all!
If you really want root follow the tutorial at htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader and then follow one of the tutorials on how to install a custom rom (those are basically always rooted)... I'd wait for an S-OFF though.
Some pretty useful guides in Development section...
I found them fairly straight forward with no hi-cups along the way.
Always prefer a challenge over a click of a button
Well for me I would like to root, but I dont want to loose warranty. Altough I want to get rid of soe annoying apps HTC brought with the phone like flickr and 7digital.
You will get back your warrenty if you un-root your phone.

Not sure what you're on but you can't root a Samsung phone from inside Android without using an exploit which is exactly the same as HTC and what the OP was asking for. You need to restart the Samsung and put it into the bootloader same as on a HTC.

Not if you use HTCdev to unlock your bootloader, they keep a log of your device, regardless if you re-lock it.
They'll still replace your device if it's a hardware problem though.

As long as you revert back to stock rom and flash stock recovery you should be fine. Don't see the need to relock as it'll just show unlocked what signs will we have that we've flashed a custom firmware? On SGS devices we had a count number but using a jig we could wipe this back to zero and return to complete stock.
So i would like to put a stock Rom, unroot it and lock the bootloader.
The thing is i don't want to mess up my phone and Google has failed me in searching for a guide, so i'm asking here.
Anybody have a bit of time to help me out with this?

Hi, I'm having the same issue. I have a HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim bought in Australia and I unlocked the bootloader without rooting, but now I have received the interim update for Android 6.0 and cannot apply it because of my unlocked bootloader. Can somebody help?

I suspect I have a broken TWRP for Android 4.4.4, the stock firmware of the phone. I downloaded the most popular one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-820/general/htc-desire-820-root-easily-t2913064) and didn't realise it wouldn't work with Lollipop. Since then, I have not been able to use HBOOT on bootloader or boot in Recovery mode. And just tonight I attempted to flash the linked TWRP but it didn't work. It just did what it always does when I hit Recovery - boots into Fastboot. Can you help?

Okay
Hey guys, before I start, I have spent hours researching all the files I need for this, but I am rusty as I haven't looked at rooting since I did 5.1.1. I have about 4 links, that all explain how to root to 6.0.1, but my question is: Most all of them say you need to rollback to 5.1.1 and then start the root process from there, or start with changing the marshmallow bootloader first, etc. If I am already rooted on 5.1.1 can I just use flashfire and simply use the stock 6.0.1 firmware, or do I still need to follow all instructions? Where exactly do I need to start if I am already rooted/unlocked on 5.1.1?
Here are the links I have been looking at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/note-4-verizon-bootloader-unlock-t3358913

Hey all!
I'm new to Samsung completely, I have experience rooting, as I've had multiple Nexus devices, and other rootable phones. Just never had a Samsung. I recently took the Oreo OTA update, and was wondering about the best rooting method? Ive read that you lose secret folder. Is there a way to keep that?
Basically I just want to debloat more and theme without having to use Andromeda, as that is annoying.

Yes it will work fine on oreo, as long as the 2nd to last number of the version you are on isn't a 3. Example:
Good: G950USQU2CRB7
Not Good: G950USQU3CRC6
^-- That right there is a no no for now
But afaik there is so rom in existence for 950u with a 3 there. Just something to watch for in the future.
You don't need to flash back to nougat stock first either. Your should be able to go straight to pcr. If you have trouble with the first step you can try flashing part 2 first, followed by 1 then 2 again, but i fine expect you will have any issues.

Not exactly, this is a root/rom combo. So it will downgrade you back to Nougat version 2 bootloader firmware, root your device, and flash a ROM all at the same time. So there is no way to flash a different ROM since the rooting process and ROM flashing is built into one step.

True, but if anyone is still lucky enough to be on version 2 bootloader on Oreo they still can downgrade to Nougat version 2 bootloader and use that Root/ROM combo to root their device since it works on ver. 2 bootloader but not 3. And yeah, screw Verizon!

Yeah its flashing an engineered firmware, and it trips knox which is needed for secure folder I think. I looked on my S8+ and couldn't find secure folder anywhere, so I'm guessing the ROM removes it.

Whatever happened to those days. S**t, the last few ROMs I was flashing on the N6 were all pretty much the same. I miss being pissed off that one rom had all the things I wanted but looked hideous. Then everything got CM based and themes were everywhere. Then it all just got the same. Then it all got locked down. Almost like Android and Google were playing the devs getting them to make the mods, then them steal them, and incorporate them, then lock it down.

But isn't the phone already on a stock rom? But that it's rooted? Or is it running an aftermarket rom like Lineage? Look in settings, software version to find out.
You can relock the boot-loader, but before trying to do that, you have to be running 100% stock, no modifications to the rom whatsoever. I've done that but have only attempted it after using lgup to flash a complete stock rom.
To re-lock it you have to use the engineering abl and qfil to flash it, then go directly to fastboot, re-lock, then use fastboot one last time to flash the original abl back.
look in the guides section to get an idea of how to do above.

I don't think there's an easy way to determine that, at least not be 100% positive of it. What I would do is a factory reset first, but that doesn't guarantee everything will then be 100% stock.
If you're not comfortable trying to re-lock bl after that, then use lgup to flash the stock firmware. That would be my preferable way to do it.
There are, in the guides section, threads on how to do these things. Good luck. But lesson learned though right? Don't buy a phone with unlocked boot loader if you want to use banking apps and have no use for root. Hopefully it will turn out to be a good learning experience though.
Thank for you replying. I thoughts this Android 10 on this phone was modified, it wasn't recognized on LGUP. Next time I should avoid for rooted phone

Looks to me like you don't have lgup / drivers setup properly. So I'd guess you've never had lgup setup for any other lg phone before? And your error isn't because of the software on the phone, but because of the setup?
Look in the guides forum and you'll find some that show how to setup and use lgup. It's a bit complicated because different versions have different purposes, but it looks to me your device is running basic US Cellular rom, and there's really nothing you can do with root that would make that 'unrecognizable' by lgup.
