I have done & know extensively literally everything else possible with pc & android devices but i have yet to unlock a bootloader or flash roms...please help i dont wanna try it without having an expert guiding me thru it cuz im unsure if the method varies from device to device. Thanks

I remember us being able to attain root using the Optimus 4XHD root tool, then I saw this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007961
Does anyone with more technical knowledge than I have think that there is a possibility deep within there to obtain a straight bootloader unlock method for the p930s? I've been stuck on Stock ICS with a locked bootloader since July because so far none of the unbricking methods will work for my phone (tried on Vista 64, 7 32/64, XP Pro/64 and 8)
No one is going to invest any time trying to figure out how to unlock the locked bootloader when you can just flash an older KDZ and avoid the issue altogether.
Your phone is not special. If you're having a problem downgrading, you're just doing something wrong.

Drumist, I always enjoy reading your comments. Thanks for being active here.
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 there, i got an LG G4 h815 few days ago, when ever i get new device first thing i do is root it, and it was always very easy for me.
with this g4 i got problems, try to go to LG website and unlock bootloader, it say i cant cause my device is h815 taiwan, so i read more in google and understand official unlock is only for the euro devices.
so i google more try to understand how can i unlock it unofficially, and found nothing, as well as try to google for a way to root it with out unlock bootloader, and also coulnt find.
im sure im missing something, cause i dont think its possible that there is no root for an old device, any help on how to root my phone?
thanks a head.
Lots of people here have H815 TWN...please can some one make a specific thread for rooting or installing xposed on Taiwanese H815 without the risking of bricking or bootlooping the device...meaning successful rooting ...

unfortunatelly you cant unlocked till today.. maybe later if someone can do it... but you can add root to locked bootloader... i have not tried this method.. i tried similar to h811 tmobile.. but its the same procedure.. mine is unlockacle but i dont want to with the bootloop issue... unlocking bootloader voids warranty. and root too but you can always try the kdz that disables the big cores and undo the root..

thank you, i found the root for locked bootloader, i done it, but its only for 5.1 android, and i still cant flash roms, only one rom witch they make for locked bootloader, so after all the process went back to unroot 6.0 androis >:
hope some1 will break this bootlock .
Im super new to rooting in general, and the guides here have so much information and I don't really get most of it
My LG G4 is Verizon on VS9862BA on Android 6.0.
So I have a lot of questions:
Whats the difference between unlocking the bootloader and rooting
What comes first unlocking the bootloader or rooting
How do I get TWRP on my phone and do I get it first before unlocking the bootloader and rooting
What are KDZ / TOT, ARBS, Salt, QFIL and Bootloader stacks, flashing, fastboot mode, fastboot flash, fastboot boot
(Was looking at steadfasterX unlock guide and I have no clue what any of these things mean)
I have no clue what to do but I'm really interested in rooting, just super confused on everything and trying to be careful

so rooting the latest FW requires unlocking the bootloader.
unlocking the bootloader allows you to run unsigned code on boot (for an example rooted FW or custom FW)
exclamation for rooting:
so there are different types of user privileges on Android or any Linux. the most important one is root. the root user has full read/write access to the / directory (so pretty much everything ) and can run any command since they have all the privileges. The user you are login to on android does not come with root privileges. so what the term rooting your phone means you have the capability to call an app to run under the root user. (if this helps, its similar to running the sudo command on Linux or for windows granting an app administrator access to run. )
kdzs are the FW files that you flash from download mode. you don't have to touch KDZ / TOT, files at all if you are on the latest FW or when you unlock it since you will have TWRP.
salt is the tool used to unlock the bootloader. if you don't have Linux use FWUL
fastboot mode is a bootloader mode where you can flash files and do other stuff.
you don't have to even mess with bootloader stacks since you are on the latest FW.
hopefully that helps, its kind of hard to answer everything in one shot so if you still need help just quote me.
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.
