Is there any one click rooting tools that work with Android 9 - 11? Preferably 10 - 11. I want to root my droid (I have an AT&T LG G8 Thinq) and I don't want to unlock my bootloader. Please don't say "C'mon dude just unlock your bootloader", I'm looking for an actual answer(s) here. Spyware or not. By one click root tool I mean something like a tool that you can press a or a few buttons and it roots your handset. Yes I'm aware many of great old ones are spyware.

Why not?
Because it's less secure and someone can flash whatever they want if they get my handset.
those tools are useless since android 7

Can't someone just flash TWRP or something else and take a looksee in ALL my files? Or flash something to bypass the lockscreen?
If I could bootloader lock it while having TWRP and Lineage OS that'd be GREAT, but unfortunately we don't have the signatures for that ) :

It is possible to have LinageOS with a locked bootloader. You can relock it and revert back to stock recovery, so people can not flash anything to bypass your lock screen. This is very common for OnePlus devices. You can sell it and buy a OnePlus, throw your phone.
For example:

DOES NOT WORK WITH NEW FIRMWARES FOR ANDROID 12! WILL NOT BOOT AND YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF IN EDL MODE TRYING TO UNBRICK YOUR PHONE. Similar to...

No, you just need a OnePlus device. OnePlus allows a self-signed signature, you can generate it yourself, and no leak is required.

Also the the thing you sent doesn't work with TWRP or something like that apparently. And no root. Also I realize the only point of a theoretical locked bootloader TWRP were if the TWRP had a passcode
And almost the only reason I'd unlock my bootloader is for root.
But also did what you say work with LG and others. Or only OnePlus?

Only works with some OnePlus devices. You can sign your ROM with your self-signed certificate. You can modify your ROM to whatever you want(including root) then just sign it, flash it, and re-lock. The bootloader now checks your self-signed certificate.
I don't think your needs can be fulfilled with your current device, maybe you have to sell your device.

So basically with a OnePlus I could just flash whatever I want and relock as long as the ROM is flashed LAST?
Also what's so hard about getting a signature? Why can't someone just pull it from the existing stockROM and put it on a their own ROM, so they can relock an Xperia or LG or something with a custom ROM?

Yes, and you also need to build and sign the ROM with your self-signed key and flash the custom key to the partition via the following

You can not simply use the prebuilt ROM downloaded from somewhere and re-lock, it will not work because it is not signed with your self-signed key.

lol, impossible. If what you said is possible, then SSL will be a piece of * because everyone can pull the signature simply by visiting a site. You need to learn what is "private key" and "public key". You need a "private key" to sign a thing and that private key is secret.
OK, so the solution is... Break into LG headquarters and obtain the key signatures and spread'em all for the world to see!
The less exciting options include infiltration or bribery...

get an oneplus device and that's all, one clicking root tools are unusable for a while..... or just unlock your bootloader (on AT&T you can't, i guess) . and after you wanna sell the phone, reflash stock ROM and RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER.

If you just reflash the stock system image that would erase any trace of root. You wouldn't lose any data. You'll only be able to flash the root zip/kernel if you've already unlocked your bootloader. If you've not done that you'll have to do it first and the process of unlocking will wipe the device.

Quote from Chainfire.
Acquiring root without modifying the boot images is still under investigation. Please note that the current method will not be officially supported. Future roots may require a clean system: we are at a very early stage of root for 6.0, methods used are subject to change.

I'd download the factory image and update to the latest build. you can edit the "flash-all.bat" so that it doesn't wipe your phone. Change the command
"fastboot -w update" to
"fastboot update"
to preserve your data.
I have re-opened this thread, because the linked thread isn't the same - this isn't a duplicate.

This thread presents something new.

Just boot loops for me , even with Chainfire's boot.img. Is it necessary to do the steps one right after another?
Neat! Glad it is all happening quickly. I think I want to keep encryption, so I will probably wait to root and install TWRP until wiping data to remove encryption is no longer necessary.
Can someone please confirm if the damn fingerprint sensor still works after rooting?

I thought so damn although I did notice a recovery boot file in the system folder no idea if there's an actual recovery but I don't think I can access it anyway. If only sony provided us with a stock recovery like other OEMs. Seeing this feature on the Z4T I'm sure will be great. I thought it might have been possible to pull the build.prop without recovery using adb but I guess not. If only there was root on locked BL...?

Yes, if only. Maybe this fresh MM ROM has some vulnerability that can be exploited to gain root. But knowing Sony’s extensive, custom countermeasures, I think chances are very slim.

Hello,
I have been trying to research how bootloaders get unlocked without manufacturer help and not coming up with many results. I want to learn how to root and unlock bootloaders and create recoveries and everything to help out accessing and customizing devices, but trying to find things to read and learn about those topics hasn't turned up much helpful threads or info at all, if anyone could direct me to where I could learn how to do all those things that'd be awesome! Also, thinking about bootloader for vs990, could we not just take an unlocked t-mobile bootloader and customize to the correct paths and values for vs990? What about the kdz file, can that be used to modify the boot security and unlock the bootloader or not? Thanks for the info and your time in advanced!

That method doesn't work on vs990, Verizon locked it down so when you try to get to bootloader even through adb reboot bootloader it just reboots to the system. No fastboot commands possible.

Well we did just get root a week ago... So don't give up hope just yet, give it a little more time and hopefully they'll crack through the security or overwrite the boot partition all together or something so we can get custom roms.

I plan to get a OnePlus 10T soon UNLOCKED model.
What are my prospects for installing a custom ROM now or in the future? I had a OP 9 a few months ago & only had it for a short time.

We don't have a MSM tool which would allow us to restore the device from bricking... Until there is an alternative method to recover.... We might not see the custom ROM development....

So you didn't flash the entire stock rom? Just the boot image? It is not clear.
For unbricking entire rom is usually needed so I was looking for examples of a full stock rom flash.
I am also looking for a stock version for CPH2417... payload.bin would be amazing.
I softbricked (bootloop) and had to use the CPH2413 (India) software (not good)
