My bootloader is locked.
From what I understood I need to unlock it or I will not be able to root my phone.
That means, that I will have to wipe all my data to gain root access
is it really necessary to unlock my bootloader?

Yep

Still nothing for Tmobile, right?

all you need to do is goto htc's dev site for unlocking http://www.htcdev.com/
no other steps are necessary if all you want is an unlocked device to allow apps root access... i think this is what you are asking

Wrong ! Unlocking the bootloader will not give you root acces .... Like guich said, unlock , flash a custom recovery , and push the superuser.zip to gain root acces .
This is the second post this morning i read from you where you give incorrect/strange advice ! Please stop that and search for the right answer first yourself
Thank you !

After flashing custom recovery take a nandroid backup just incase sumthing goes wrong!

So much work...
And I wish it would include links.
I really hope there will be a one-click root for 4.4.
It's weird all phones from the competition are easily rootable but someone 4.3 on Sony is so complex.

They've closed alot of the bugs that were being used for the previous root methods.
IF you don't care about your data, what you CAN do is to revert to an older FTF, root, backup your TA partition, then go from there... it's a pain... but it works.

So I saw this and was about to do it, but then read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52371524&postcount=7
Seems much easier (no bootloader unlocking necessary) so I'm trying to figure out why you'd have to do everything listed in the other thread. Any insight?

if u want your phone to be stuck in bootloop, go ahead with that method, else you follow the method which i posted. it's a long procedure, but it works!

I don't understand why someone would post bad directions like that. Also they are very similar to Doomlord's own instructions for rooting. He says to flash an old exploitable kernel and then run his exploit and then flash back.
Anyways, your method says to downgrade to .67 firmware, and I can't find that anywhere. Can I downgrade to .423 firmware and use Doomlord's root method instead? Should be the same results, right?
Also, is step 8 necessary? Do I have to flash back stock recovery or can I keep CWM?
And finally, using this method, how will we keep root when 4.4 finally arrives?

Thanks, It worked without any problem.
I also wouldn't take the risk to flash the Kernel of .423 over the .67 firmware.
Yes they are both Android JB 4.2. But you never know.
About 4.4, we will have to wait what will be the available methods.

yeah. that kernel method worked for previous firmware. now it won't work. and yeah you can downgrade to any rootable firmware. u are doing this just to backup TA so that you can lock BL. you can keep that advanced kernel. but you wont get OTA updates, better to flash stock kernel and lock your BL. when 4.4 arrives, if no rooting kit is available, you've to unlock BL, install advanced stock kernel which has custom recovery and install SU and flash back stock kernel and lock your BL
After you've rooted, but before you actually unlock your bootloader... if you install the dual boot recovery, you can make a backup of your TA partition information via TWRP as well as by using the other method... (do both to ensure you can revert)...
And then after you unlock your boot loader save ANOTHER TA backup... name them so you know which is which so you can re-lock your TA if you choose if you're running a stock kernel/rom and want the DRM keys back... but that way you don't have to go through the pain for unlocking each time...

Well I ended up not even needing to unlock the bootloader for my goal, which was simply stock + root on .101.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52411661&postcount=23
Only had one small issue with the flashed zip/stripped FTF messing up the XZDualRecovery settings, but deleting xzdr.prop and rebooting fixed it.
When i was searching for, i really thought i was being crazy.
so many devices with a single click to root
I cant wait to start theming my ZL, Some mockups cooking here to new skins, but can't test without that root.
well, Did that steps worked well?

if u go with method, u have to download those stripped files every time when new firmware arrives. which is kinda boring to download those huge files. whereas in that unlocking BL method, u download only kernels with recovery which is just 15 to 20MB

Stock recovery?

Hi,
Just wondering how to boot a 100% stock z1c into recovery? Does the bootloader need to be unlocked? Some instructions said to press volume up or down a few times when the notification light comes on, but the light doesn't turn on.
Sorry for the newbie question...

There is no stock recovery. You can install a custom recovery (e.g. CWM, TWRP, etc.) without unlocking the bootloader. There are a few tutorials on the forum.
That explains it! Thanks Chief.
It looks like unlocking the bootloader then installing Cwm is the easiest way to go. I'm not interested in Drm.

Keep in mind DRM keys = warranty. Your last sentence also means "I'm not interested in warranty"
Yeah, I'm tinkering with it. I thought that much was obvious!

As far as I understand you have to root your device first to install a recovery - i might be wrong though
Try here for a foolproof rooting method:

In the "What you can do next" section there is a link to NUTs dualrecovery - works like a charm and is reaally easy to install.

Thank you xCJ999,
I'm just wondering that if it possible for me to install only one CWM recovery without unlocking the bootloader?
Cheers

uhm, not sure I understand what you want ... cwm recovery without twrp? what would be the downside of being able to choose between 2 recoveries?
You can install dualrecovery without unlocking your bootloader and get both philz & twrp. There is a link for installing cwm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620794
But for that one you need to unlock your Bootloader.
the recovery wont get installed if bootloader is locked...ps:most of the xperia devices

A quick question that I am sure is stupid as no one seems to be talking about it...
Now that the Z1c can have a true recovery from Sony, do we not have other options such as flashing a pre-rooted image or SuperSU from that? I would much rather unlock my BL than mess with KingRoot.

Sony recovery doesn't have any extra capabilities over old recovery, it's just a different partition. However, with BL unlocked, rooting is no issue. Fastboot will flash any kernel/ recovery you want, and you can flash root

How to root a 505F

yes you can, there is a way in this forum to root. but still some problem after rooting keep showing up.
not sure what makes a50 so problematic to root?
is it android 9 or the device???
everything else is easy to root.
with a50, you can root but have to keep using key combos on boot or lose the root.
don't understand why so difficult with this device.

You need to install twrp first. Follow this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a50/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-a50-t3916199/amp/
That twrp is already patched with magisk in the recovery partition. So if you already flash that twrp into your device, consider you already rooting your phone. :fingers-crossed:
