was researching into cf-auto root and on the repository instructions it says if you flash the root with a phone that has a locked bootloader, then the phone will probably be bricked.
Is that the case with this phone? Do you have to unlock bootloader prior to rooting?
thanks

If my phone is locked Can i still root it ? and if its locked how do i check if it is ?
First of all, locked how? SIM-locked, or bootloader locked? I assume you didn't unlock the bootloader using the HTCdev.com website so follow this tutorial to root and bootloader unlock it.
hi! is there any way to unlock my bootloader even if the rooting status bootloader unlock allowed says no...? thanks in advance...
Simple answer: no. If it's a must-have, go return it and buy one off-contract.
It is possible that in the future, someone will find an exploit to unlock the bootloader, or at the very least, do something similar to Loki on the Galaxy S4 (get custom ROMs/etc without an unlocked bootloader).
Sure sucks.

I bought one Factory Unlocked without ever being on a contract and it also tells me no, so it looks like it's not possible to unlock the boot loader on any American model.
I have been a Samsung user all along but just got the Z2. I need to root but otherwise want to keep as stock as possible. I just have a few questions:
(a) What is the bootloader and why do people unlock the bootloader?
(b) If I just need root and otherwise all stock, should I just follow the Community RootKit guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783750&page=17)
(c) Anything I need to be aware of before rooting? Are there any irreversible changes from rooting??
Thanks!
1. Before this exploit you had to unlock the bootloader to get root. Also you need to unlock it to get custom kernel. I am not sure about custom ROM.
2. Yes, a few page in is a step by step guide, look for it.
3. You do void the warranty, but you can unroot it if you haven't hard-bricked it.
Rooting is reversable you can just uninstall via supersu
Bootloader is the part of your device which starts the boot process, unlocking your bootloader removes of the signatures and keys which prevent modifacations from working on a locked one
By rooting or Unlocking your bootloader you will void your warrenty

yes there is a root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900
bootloader unlock is only if you want to install a custom kernel
in your case you can unlock the bootloader if you want to run CM/ASOP.
if you want to stick stock absed roms, dont unlock boot loader use the easy root method in the link above.
I have a non-international phone so without code from Lg I cant unlock bootloader. Some guys are doing things. I could not understand difference.
are they trying to root a already unlocked phone or are they trying to unlock bootloader?

This is only helpful is they have the H850 or H830 model number. If they do not, then unfortunately there is no root available but we are doing EVERYTHING we can to get this to work.
mine is LG G5 850 TR so from I cant unlock bootloader so no chance to root.
I have LG G5 850 TR,too. Someone must give us unlock code!
