Hello, well, I have a very noob question, the thing that I have to root a 10.4.1.B.0.101, from Telcel, and it seems that I can't unlock its bootloader... (Bootloader unlock allowed: No)
I need instructions to root it, I know, I could and I should find those intructions through site but I almost brick it twice tonight, so I prefer to come here to beg for intructions. PLEASE HELP! :crying::crying::crying::crying:
I'm not sure if I can try this without a unlocked bootloader.
Thank you very much!

This works without unlocking bootloader.
The only way is to downgrading to android 4.2 and then updating to .101 by flashing zip files
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So I'm on stock MRA58U right now and i'm trying to root with wugfresh nexus root toolkit.
When i go to start the root process with the tool it will end up telling me that the bootloader is locked and i need to unlock it, but i previously have unlocked the bootloader because I had root back on lollipop etc.
So i go through the prompts to unlock the bootloader and it does its thing and reboots etc. When i try to use the root option it will do the same and still tell me that the bootloader is locked...
and yes, i can confirm that in the bootloader it says unlocked. Any suggestions on what to do?

Having the same problem, had to down grade the rooting tool to v.2.0.5 for it to see the 7 as unlocked. You can get the older version here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934547093
To make sure the 7 does the updates, I reflashed to stock unrooted MRA58K and let it do the 2 OTA update. Still trying to find the best way to root the MRA58V
Is there a way to give root access to my 5t without unlocking the bootloader? I am hoping to use a utility like Disk Digger to recover some files, so obviously unlocking boot loader won't work for my needs.
According to this forum post, something like this was possible with the original OP phone - https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/root-unlocking-bootloader-t2820628
Any help or guidance is sincerely appreciated!
Hi everyone.
I have honor 8 pro (DUK) which has locked bootloader and yes I know it is not possible (officially) to unlock it. I have read several threads which state that unlocking bootloader is not necessary to root your mobile. Ok that was interesting, so I have searched all alternative methods of rooting which does not require unlocking bootloader, but none of them helped.
Attempts I made:
1. Many guides show to root the device via twrp. Flashing twrp requires unlocking bootloader, so out of options.
2. Tried to flash the twrp image via adb command but i get the message 'Command not allowed'. The obvious reason could be the locked bootloader.
3 Tried with Kingoroot and King root, none of them helped.
4. Magisk is unable to flash the magisk.zip file (I don't know why) and hence unable to use magisk as well.
Any other methods to root my device. Please help me dear developers and members. I don't want any custom ROM, all I need is to root my device.
Thank You.
Following. After Huawei/Honor decided not to provide the bootloader unlocking. I do not think we can and now there is no development for this handset at all.
Yeah and its sad that we are stuck here.
Would there be a way to do one-click-root on the Motorola Moto G5 (XT1672) or another way that is easy and does not do a factory reset? Thanks!

I really don't know how this is going from root very well, but as I understand it, you need to unlock the bootloader of the device (which requires a factory reset). If you already have the bootloader unlocked, try KingRoot, The truth is the only root of a click that I know, I have not really tried it on this device, but on an old phone, and it worked fine. The only problem I have had and I do not know if it is the fault of the device or KingRoot, and is that when I try to uninstall an application which I gave it the root permissions, the phone restarts, to uninstall an application I had to deny it permissions and then I could uninstall it, I repeat, I do not know if it is a problem that only happens to me

Rooting the phone does not require a factory reset but unlocking the bootloader does
So if you haven't unlocked the bootloader you will have to factory reset it during the process
If the bootloader is already unlocked you do not need to factory reset your device again in order to root it
Magisk should be the only way you should root your device - do not use other methods like kingroot as this has bloat and is not systemless (meaning it alters the system partition)
You need to root with magisk in order to maintain the system partition in its original state in order to pass basic integrity & to be able to pass cts profile (may need a magisk module) and to hide the fact you are rooted from apps that will not work if your device is rooted

Thank you for your help. I tried several One-click-root, none worked, so I researched, they only work on android 7.
Could you tell me if it is possible to Downgrade from Android 8.1 to 7 without unlocking the bootloader? All the videos I find, the bootloaders are already unlocked.

As mentioned before - you cannot root a device without unlocking the bootloader!
Why do you want a one click root? They are buggy & full of bloatware
Magisk should be the only method you should be using to root a device - either flashing through twrp or by patching the kernel and flashing the patched image through fastboot
What ever method you choose you need an unlocked bootloader to root!
Why would you want to downgrade? You can flash all parts of a firmware image except gpt & bootloader but again you might need an unlocked bootloader to do this but I don't see the point

In fact, since i need to unlock the bootloader to root, for now, it wouldn't be a good option for me.
But there are apps that I really need and that don't work correctly on Android versions above Nougat, if I could get Downgrade without losing data, that would help me immensely for now.
Is there a possibility that I can downgrade to android 7 with the locked bootloader ? What can go wrong? Brick?

You would have to format data - it would bootloop otherwise and I've already said. Flash all parts of firmware except gpt and bootloader however it may not flash as your bootloader is not unlocked
If the flashing goes wrong and your bootloader is not unlocked you will not be able to recover the device without taking it to a repair shop
My advice just don't bother - if you want to mod your phone unlock the bootloader!
And what app doesn't work above nougat?
