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 .

It's bot released because rheres no point to it. /system is write protected so just about all root apps wouldn't work.

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

My question was does it have to be done in that certain order. Unlock Bootloader then root.

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...
Is it possible to get temp root only in such a way it doesn't mark the bootloader as TAMPERED?
For what it's worth, there is only a handful of reasons I would ever need root access and quite honestly I don't see the need to be rooted 100% of the time.
However, I don't feel the need to have to unlock the entire bootloader from HTC Dev just to install an APK or two.
Thanks for any pointers!

You only need to unlock the bootloader if you want to flash custom roms and such. If you just want root access for apps just use zedomax's root and dont unlock the bootloader. You only get the tampered messages if you unlock the bootloader.

Actually that's wrong. They're two different things. If you root, it'll show tampered, whether unlocked or not. Locking or unlocking will not effect tampered status. Any root will show tampered. It goes away if you use RUU.
To answer the question asked, no. At the current time it is not possible to root without tampered bootloader

Yea i didnt word it very well. I assumed the reason the op was asking is so he could get back completely to stock if need be. If he only roots and then runs the ruu he would be back to stock. Thanks for clearing it up.
Thanks for the info - I didn't understand the mechanism that triggers the bootloader to show tampered.
Ultimately, I was looking into determining whether or not ICS encrypted the mail (not gmail) database, regardless of the device itself being encrypted or not.
I am using the exploit from Chainfire for root and want to use the Note 2 toolkit. I see it says you must have an unlocked bootloader to use toolkit.I also see the post by Adam to unlock it but have no idea where to start since the video contradicts the OP itself with the files indicated.
Is there a link to simply change the bootloader for Verizon?
Thanks

Previously, we used toolkit to unlock, root, and flash custom recovery. The ability to unlock the device was the huge benefit of using toolkit. However, toolkit cannot unlock the bootloader if there is a restriction on it. Adam is the first person who unlock the bootloader successfully (he's our savior!!!). It seems like as of right now, we can only unlock the device manually via Adam's method. So the toolkit doesn't do the huge deal for us, and it's pretty much useless.
If not, is there an equivalent simple root available for our phone? Need root to run a great program. Unfortunately, this has always been sooo simple on past phones.
Please help.

You cold always got to HTCDEV.com and unlock the bootloader and flash SuperSU or superuser. But that will erase everything on your phone. So make a backup.

Not on Verizon. HTC dev is not allowed.
No temp root anymore. Sunshine it!
