Is there any method to do just the root, without unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks for your attention.
No it isn't. You must to have unlock bootloader

I have an Asus Infinity tablet. I rooted as soon as I could, but kept it locked fur a while because of warranty issues. Finally, I bit the bullet and unlocked because I wanted to play with ROM's. I haven't had any problems, and I'll unlock my p769 as soon as available to.

If it is we can figure out a way to unlock p769s boot loader without update although I'm hoping we will get an update soon.
Hi Guys. I will be rooting the Indian Variant of L9 which is P765. I have few questions as to confirm them again.
1. By unlocking the bootloader, there is no way to relock it again? So I will permanently loose the warranty?
2. If I use this method for rooting - which is root with locked bootloader, then I will not be able to try CM 10 or 11 builds?
3. To have CWM in JB with locked bootloader, we need to try the method in this thread, but I am not sure as to what actually needs to be done here. Can anyone give a step by step method?
Clarifying this will be greatly appreciated. I have read the guides from cmahendra in the general section, however just a few questions and confirmations as above.
Thank you.

Hello Harsha,
1. As per my knowledge there is no any known method to relock bootloader. That means yes, once bootloader unlocked, you will permanently loose warranty.
2. This is the easiest and safest method to root L9. click here
3. Use this tool to install CWM without unkocking bootloader. click here
for any other detail message me here
somebody can tell me if there any way to unlock the bootloader of my i545 running lollipop?
Really, how lazy can you be? You don't even have to search, there's a thread on the very first page.
I can!
You can't...

You have not included any additional information about your device obtainable by using 'fastboot getvar all'. I suggest you look through the forums to find at least fastboot and adb if you do not already have them as you seem to be in a position to need them.
Unfortunately your HBoot needs to be S-OFF in order to downgrade HBoot (which, as far as I am aware is only possible with Sunshine, which costs $25, if HBoot is version 1.55 or above; correct me if I am wrong, I am awaiting a reply to my own post regarding a similar topic).
If you manage to gain S-OFF, the procedure is fairly straightforward and is documented here, among other places:
minimally: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447531,
thoroughly, but note Firewater was superceded by Sunshine: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f48...-s-off-change-cid-downgrade-hboot-os-1838907/
Also this is a good place to look for more information on using fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112
and here you may find details on how to S-OFF an HBoot version 1.54 or lower: http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/get-s-off/.
Please always try to search the forums before posting a new thread when looking for the answer to a question you may have as your question may have already been answered. A little "Google-fu" doesn't hurt either.
Also it does help to add a "[Q]" before the title of a thread, followed by a question which sums up what you are essentially asking within the thread when making a new forum thread to ask a question as it does help bring attention to your post as a question.
