Can I install a custom ROM on a device with unlocked bootloader
I use an application for work which checks for rooted roms and one of the checks is if bootloader is locked.
I cant unroot as ALL (including rootcloak plus) has proved to be unsuccessful with the application

Unlocking is not the same as rooting and vice versa. If your bootloader is unlocked use flash tool (with drivers installed for your device) to flash a custom kernel to your phone. Most kernels add root access. (Check by using a root check app after flashing). With a custom kernel installed, then flash a custom rom via the recovery menu, most likely CWM.

Fully understand bootloader and rooting. My point is that the application I need to use will check if device has unlocked boot loader
Other thing it checks for is
1) SU
2) number of superuser apps
3) bootloader status
4) busybox files
5) root status
6) if RUM is custom ROM by checking signature
7) build.prop entries to determine if its custom ROM (e.g. releasekeys and testkeys)

Have you even installed a custom kernel or did you root the phone? If not, root it or simply flash a custom kernel (which automatically roots the device)
Hello. If i run twrp through fastboot boot command and flash magisk and use systemless root, will i be able to lock the bootloader using fastboot oem lock? Technically i did not change the recovery image. I planned on making a few changes to a few apps (patch ytb to background and remove google ads) then unroot and remove magisk and lock it.
Root is a no go back option. If you unroot, stock rom will reupdate itsrlf

i recieve OTA uodates since i have another system (MIUI). I tried flashing everything (literally every single thing, 15 fastboot commands) except boot and system images and then locking but it didnt work. Unfortunately had to keep magisk. Nop. Doesnt work. Only way, - fullstock or stock based builds roms.
Hey Guyz,
I've deleted the files in the root folder from my device, I then installed a custom rom but the WIFI didn't work and the system reboots every 1 minute.
also I tried to use MI flash tool and flashed the fastboot update and I had the same problem.
also, I tried to flash and lock the phone but same error.
PLEASE HELP !
Hi any can share a relock tool or something for zb553kl i did unlock and tried to install twrp and root but failed now with Android oreo i dont need root.
Hi! I have an OPPO A5s Smartphone. It is running Android 8.1 Oreo which is quite outdated in today's standards. I have been trying to get root but OPPO wont let me unlock my bootloader and other rooting options wont just work. After Downloading a software update zip file, i extracted it and read updater-script where I saw that the script installs SuperSu on my device. Another file which runs after it removes the SuperSu and root is gone in my phone?. I am wondering if I can remove that piece of code to achieve root in my phone. Can I remove it?
