Root does not equal unlocked bootloader. Read the important information in every thread before you attempt to use what they post. Else, you wind up looking like an idiot, like you do now. Now if you want to do nandroid, follow the link in the post above and unlock your bootloader.

Can I unlock my bootloader, after my phone was rooted ? Or should I unroot it, unlock the bootloader and than root it again ?
Rooting your phone, and unlocking bootloader are 2 different things.
Rooting is for your ROM, while unlocking bootloader is for your phone...

so i'm about to install 4.5.91 in a few hours.. gonna backup lots of data first..
im trying to avoid bootloader unlocking for the meanwhile cause of the warranty issue and the fact u cannot re-lock.
anyway i just grabbed ATT-2.3.4_Pudding_preroot.rar and ill flash it over the gladiatrix 1.8.3 i have currently on the device (will it work?)
later i intend to use the preroot method and root and of course.. install a recovery BUT.. since the new recovery needs an unlocked bootloader.. ill use the previous one with the battery charging hack
so.. what do you think guys? will it work?

I would assume the att-2.3.4_pudding_preroot already is preunlocked (hence the pudding) which defeats your purpose?
Also, what would the purposed of the old plugged in Recovery? It won't install any of the new ROMs and I don't think the nandroid back up really works that well.
not quite.. its just have the "pudding" in it.. you'll have to perform an unlock with fastboot to void warranty.

Ok, so the other question - point of the old recovery? Just to help you wipe data/cache/batterystats?
The old recovery will still save him... You shouldn't need to be unlocked to do that.

save him from what and how? other than wiping data... he can't flash anything that can save him...
Indeed I think he can backup with old tenfar's recovery. The problem is that the sfb he wants to flash is the incorrect one, you can't use the prerooted without unlock the BL at least for the version I know. In other hand The update process is kinda complicated without unlocking the BL, if you do it OTA you will also update the BL and that one can't be unlocked now also could leave you bricked if flash back to 1.8.3.

yeah my bad.
I am using a Motorola Atrix with 4.5.91 build. I rooted my Atrix without unlocking the bootloader which is why I am getting a (Failed to boot 2 Starting in RSD Mode) message when i try to use Rom Manager to back up my current Rom. Do I have to unroot my Atrix in order to unlock it and if so how do I unroot it.
You have to unlock your bootloader n root your phone. Search the topics

Hey guys.
Two days ago i have flashed back my SK17i to stock rom.
I updated from FOTA.
I didn't know i must relock bootloader before updating from FOTA, so i bricked my phone.
After 2 minutes of deep panic, i've flashed the relock .ftf file, but it won't work on phones unlocked with test point.
So, i found a way to relock bootloader and go back to stock. (On forums i didn't see any guide regarding the method to relock bootloaders unlocked by test point)
I've done in this way:
1) Flashed stock kernel
2) Flash the .ftf relock file
3) With S1Tool hit restore
The phone is now bootloader locked, without losing of DRM!

Also, try to re-download the ftf file from another mirror, you should able to relock bootloader.

brov dont really understand dis, please break it down a little bit!
I just registered to confirm this method works. I foolishly allowed a FOTA yesterday and bricked my phone. It was unlocked via testpoint so the relock method didn't work, even though I tried it! I also tried flashing with S1tool with generic firmware and that didn't work. Then just out of curiousity/desperation I clicked on the RESTORE button in S1 and my phone actually started but was now locked again. I re-did the testpoint unlock this morning so now my phones fully updates and working with my SIM of choice.
I don't know if you need to do all the flashing as it may just be the RESTORE that does the trick. I definitely won't be allowing any OTA from now on. Lesson learned!
Just to confirm, so long as I do the update via PCCompanion or SEUS software I wont need to do all this?
Files to download please?

What files?
If you unlocked your bootloader with test point, no need to flash anything, just press restore button in s1tool.
anyone tried this method to relock the bootloader which unlocked by test point method and still have the sim/network unlock

hey, what is ur method to unlock ur BL via paid version or free?
if free , can you access the fastboot mode??
I have read several posts that make mention of a DNA root exploit without unlocking the bootloader.
I really just want root so i can use my root apps again. (I can wait for bootloader unlock and cwm)
Any thoughts?

Which version are you on. With the original version you can root phone using one of the unlock threads. Should be no problem at all using the bootloader s-off .

Hello,
is it possible to relock bootloader after ulocking it? I need it due to the warranty.
in short, No. please search the forum for details, as this is discussed.
i suggest you just try the luck sending the phone in and not mention anythong about the bootloader. of course should flash to stock rom if that still can be done

I think, he did not say he is sending to service center. He just said he needs it for warranty (in future).
See how smart these new pals are. May be we are all idiots to unlock it without giving a second thought. lolz
I do not have yet any fault, I just want to try alternative rom and I want to have way back to stock rom
My last phone had after 3 month of use some problem and I must return it. So I just want to know if it is possible
I thought that flashing the stock u-boot & x-boot will re-lock the bootloader.

Maybe this should be in a sticky post somewhere. I have seen a few people ask about re-locking the bootloader.
If this works, we should start collecting u-boot & x-boot images.
There is no way to relock bootloader. Here is good post about bootloader and omap4430, it applies to L9s. In our case ics xloader ,uboot or both simply don't recognize that bootloader had been unlocked and it just appears locked.
I see. Thanks you.
So, you guys with unlocked bootloader, have no problem with fact that your devices have no warranty?
If you don't mention the unlocked bootloader to the customer service and your device has an unrooted stock ROM, there is only a few chance that they check the bootloader if it is for an hardware issue.
It only requires a little bit luck .
If i will make root by this:

cwm requires unlocked bootloader
I think you need to install the "CWM Recovery" bootloader to flash a custom ROM. And with a locked bootloader, you can only have a bootloader signed by LG (not a "CWM Recovery" one).
However, you can try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095825
It is a "CWM Recovery" which is not directly placed inside the bootloader (instead, it adds a step on Android start). When I tried it on my P760 (when it still had a locked bootloader), it failed (but you can still try).

Actually that recovery will not work on jb,
Ok, that's why it failed for me.
Now, you have your answer, you must stay on ICS if you wish to keep your bootloader locked with CWM Recovery.
However, I would be curious to know what happens if a JB ROM (custom or stock) is installed through using this "locked bootloader CWM Recovery".

I received "Security Error" when attempting to boot when I tried this a while back. It just won't work because the kernel needs to be signed by LG.
So may I at least root phone or even root is not possible without unlocked bootloader?
