Hi, I have a mi a2 lite device and I rooted it to install gltools. My goal is it run gltools with locked bootloader. I unrooted it and gltools was still there. I locked the bootloader (I used a technique without erasing data) and gltools was uninstalled. Just give me a clean answer. Was my gal possible?
Per the description, root and writeable /system required. You can't have this and a locked bootloader.

Hi
I noticed OnePlus 3 does NOT allow user to have fully working phone when one re-lock bootloader with customised recovery or modified ROM. I would only assume there is security feature put in and checking the integrety of the ROM during boot. Did OxygenOS get digitally signed? Does this mean we don't have any method to root the OxygenOS and yet keep bootloader locked?
The reason I like to keep bootloader locked is becuase it's much more secure, otherwise, anyone can took the phone reflesh the recovery and have full access to my contents. Once they are done, they can simply swap it back without me notice anything.
I have done this with Nexus 5.
Any ideas for achieve below as end result?
* bootloader locked, running OxygenOS, and have SuperSU installed
* bootloader locked, running any ROM, and have phone rooted
Thanks
You could try to root your phone with KingRoot, which allows having your device rooted without a Custom Recovery or unlocked device.
Do we know what method is KingRoot using for this?
I waited the 72 hours and then ran the program on my PC for the Mi Unlock, and then afterwards I wiped the phone clean, flashed TWRP, and put on miui10, forgetting that doing a data wipe resets the Mi Unlock status. Do I really need to reunlock it, cause if so it will delete all my data again..
Edit: It's just odd because on the bootloader screen, 'fastboot oem device-info' shows my bootloader unlocked still, I have Magisk installed, running joeykrim's Root Checker from google play shows root access not properly installed, running flar's DevCheck from google play shows the device rooted, I have BusyBox installed , and lastly, in the Developer options, OEM Unlocking is ticked on, but doesn't say already unlocked, and the Mi Unlock status still shows locked. Lots of conflicting info here, so just a bit wary since this is my first Xiaomi phone.
I went ahead and tried unlocking again with the tool and I get this (see screenshot)
Usually unlocked only once, but if your device is locked again, it can be unlocked without any damage. Don't know what ROM you use If it is a world class ROM, ctf will not pass. For magisk, you have to modify the fingerprint to pass. Try studying. You have to do it. Good luck.

WEll everything is running fine being rooted. MAgisk SAfetyNet passes, rooted apps work fine, but Mi Unlock still shows my phone is 'locked'm but fastboot says it's unlocked. And I'm using the official miui_MIMIX2Global_V10.2.2.0.ODEMIXM_a92827160b_8.0 rom and fw_chiron_miui_MIMIX2Global_V10.2.2.0.ODEMIXM_a92827160b_8.0 firmware
You don't have to worry. I think your device is already unlocked. If the device is still locked, you cannot install twrp.
yeah thats why im confused. everything works fine. i guess i wont worry about it unless i come to a problem
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?
I have sent the unlock request to xiaomi so need to wait for a week to unlock the phone. I have found so many bugs on 12.5.2 specially battery drain so fast. I would like to know once is unlocked the bootloader can I downgrade from 12.5.2.0(RRGEUXM) to V10.4.5.0.PGGEUXM? If it can be done with MI flash tool and i want to use some banking apps can they be used or need to be lock again the bootloader? will I be able to unlock the bootloader in the future if needed again? Sorry for the questions I have no much idea . I really appreciate the help and support of the community. Thank you my anti number is 1
1. I think yes, with data wipe (select flash_all). Unlocking bootloader will also wipe your data so do it once and never look back. I haven't tested that. But undoable without data wipe, that's for sure. ROM region doesn't matter unless if you are planning to relock the bootloader
2. Depends on the apps. Some of them can be fooled by magisk hide, some of them even detect bootloader lock status (but how? idk). Just test your apps in every bootloader lock status scenarios, and you will find your answer (not only for banking apps. some apps will be locked out if it detects root/tampered boot)
3. No need to worry about anti rollback lock. It virtually doesn't exist in this device

Thank you for all the explanation you are a expert
Now my phone is locked and I have to enter my mi account password.
But when I enter my password, it just sends me to the same screen again (probably because the app is missing.)
I have no Idea how unlock my phone now?!
It is rooted, but I cant run any adb commands.
I'm on V14.0.2.0. Reflashing didn't help. Is there a way to maybe reinstall the app or to unlock the phone without doing a full wipe?
The problematic apk is com.xiaomi.account (at least I think so, the issue didn't appear immediately and uninstalled other system apps too)
I am very thankful for any kind of help : )
Use Miflash and dont re lock the bootloader(data will be removed).

I reflashed my rom, this time wiping all data.
It works now, but my files are sadly gone.

you need to download your firmware, extract the boot.img file, patch it in the magisk manager app and then flash it (fastboot flash boot <boot.img>) in fastboot mode.
look up the official guide for installing root with magisk, works just like any other phone
