Assuming that you unlock the bootloader, root the phone and change the splash screen....
Reboot the phone.....
If Asus logo splash screen is black your bootloader is locked.
If Asus logo splash screen is white your bootloader is unlocked.

Why do you want to unlock the bootloader?
For the time being, there is no way to unlock the bootloader in MM. May be in the near future.
If you want to unlock the bootloader in MM, you need to temporarily downgrade the bootloader to Lollipop, unlock the bootloader and upgrade back to MM by the patched bootloader.

No.
To upgrade to MM from LP your firmware has to be at least 184.
You can use OTA or download the MM from ASUS site and install the MM in ADB environment with adb sideload command.
Do not upgrade MM via TWRP. MM install package does not compatible with TWRP. However, there is guide to modified the installation script in order to work with TWRP. The guide was written a year ago for Lollipop .
If your intention is to use custom rom in MM then you need an unlocked bootloader with custom recovery like TWRP.
In that case you need to unlock the bootloader in lollipop before you upgrade to MM. Like I said, there is no direct way to unlock bootloader in MM.
If your intention is to have rooted MM, then you do not need to unlock the bootloader.
You do not need to install the TWRP. You can use tethered TWRP to flash the super su zip file.

Cannot seem to install custom recovery. Rooted and I THINK bootloader is unlocked.
Hi everyone, I'm in dire need of help.
I believe my bootloader is unlocked and I'm rooted using the one click method. But no matter what I do I can't seem to get a custom recovery installed. Please help me and advise me on what to do.

After you unlock your bootloader the splashscreen when booting has a WHITE background, not black. Unless you have seen and replaced the splashscreen then you haven't unlocked the bootloader and you can flash until the cows come home but it won't do any good...

Ah you're right. My bootloader isn't flashed after all. And even that isn't possible for some reason, neither the unofficial or official way is working
Oh my God, I don't know how but the official bootloader unlock tool just worked! Victory!

Even if your bootloader is unlocked, still u will receive OTA updates.
My Z008 is unlocked and rooted. still i receive OTA updates. I just unroot and update the OTA and then re-root.

Official unlock tool or XDA unlock tool?
Once you unlock using ASUS's tool it removes you from the update server or so it has been said...
You can still download from ASUS site and flash through recovery but it generally don't get OTA's...

Hello guys.
I'm really waiting for lg's bootloader unlock support for TWN version, but I got a question about that.
If I root my phone and using flashfy, can I flash CM13 with locked bootloader?
It wouldnt flash it would probably would brick your device and i wouldnt recommend it, Its an unsigned zip so yeah but trying to get safestrap on this thing would be nice

You don't say which model you have, but you do need an unlocked bootloader for a custom recovery.

Hey mate I have an Australian (intl) H815T from Optus, I've discovered you can only flash things like twrp and xposed through first unlocking your bootloader which is impossible to do on any version other than the European model so basically until someone works out a bypass for this nobody can install a custom ROM/Recovery or TWRP or anything else that requires an unlocked bootloader.
---------- Post added at 04:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 AM ----------
I did however "root" by using an ADB Shell to flash a V10c file, so technically I achieved root without unlocking my bootloader but unfortunately I cannot do any of the fun things like install xposed apps Also I can confirm that when someone bypasses the EUR only bootloader unlock, there won't be any downgrade to the camera. I too owned an Xperia Z3 and had the issue of basically ruining the camera but that was due to Sony using something called DRM keys which LG G4 doesn't have so we should be in the clear once a bootloader unlock bypass is found.
Looking for the best available root for the lg g4 marshmallow international version, even a 1 click method
If you searched you'll realise there's no root for locked bootloader G4s on MM.

He said international dude... The H815 which has unlocked boot loader. Very useful reply. But I too need to know the best method.

What? H815SEA and H815EU are both international variants but only H815EU can be unlocked.
The best method is to flash boot.img unpacked from the custom kernel like SimpleGX via fastboot that will allow you to further flash TWRP in which you'll flash full kernel package to avoid software problems and lastly SuperSU
the method i followed was-
1. boot into twrp recovery with adb command(you need to have the twrp.img file in PC and also copy it in internal memory of your phone with SU)
2. flash systemless root with twrp
3. reboot
4. install flashify
5.flash twrp.img from your phone.
6. done
but there aren't as much benefits of rooting as any other phone. viper4android doesn't work. spirit fm doesn't work. xposed doesn't work properly.(these 3 were the main reasons for which i rooted)
Hi. So i just bought a g4 today and i want to know if there is any way to root my g4 without reflashing. I desperately need to install xposed on my mobile.
Android version: 6.0
Software version: h81120i

well theres bootloader locked G4 that cant be unlocked and the ones the can...
so youll need to know wich one you got.
you can root MM 6.0 only with unlocked bootloader....
you can root and install xposed with locked bootloader but on LP.. and you need to push a rooted system image...
but youll also need to know if you can downgrade to lollipop.. on mine thers antirollback V2 and V3. so going into latest firmware 20o tmobile will get me V3 and i cant no longer downgrade as LP is V2 this will brick phone..
