I get this error when trying to unlock my bootloader. I have c6903 and rooted it before moving up to 4.3. I then unlocked my bootloader on 4.3 (or I think I did). However, when I try to install supersu it says my phone is not rooted. However, when I try to unlock my bootloader I get the message "error phone is already rooted". I attached a screenshot below. Does this mean my phone bootloader is unlocked and my phone is properly rooted to then install a recovery? I want to ultimately install ihackers rom but want to be sure I have everything ready for a proper install.
Thanks

I'm not sure why it says "rooted" in fastboot, but the commands you're sending are to unlock the bootloader, not root the phone. Your bootloader must already be unlocked, per the error you see. I hope you backed up your TA partition before BL unlocking.
Check out the Root on 4.3 dev discussion for more details on a 4.3 root (which is only possible with an unlocked BL currently).
Just try to use Flashtool to unlock the bootloader.
Hi!
I recently relocked my bootloader, and I still get the bootloader unlocked warning. Is there any way I could stay locked and still remove the warning by flashing some logo.bin file?
Also, my software status in fastboot menu says "modified". I'm currently on latest stock version of Android on my XT 1092 as well as bootloader gave me no mismatch warning while flashing the firmware. Is there any way it could be changed back to official? Because it is indeed, official.
You can remove the warning. This thread will take care of you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/warning-message-unlocked-bootloader-t2871478
As for the software status, I don't believe there is a way to have it not show as modified.
AT&T has not released Marshmallow for the Nexus 6 so I'm ready to root and flash my way there, but, I'd like to make sure I get future updates. Can you tell me if there are any flaws in this process I should know about? Is there any way to do this that will not erase user data? Thanks in advance.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Root phone
3. Install recovery
4. Flash latest factory image
5. Lock bootloader?
If I do this will I then receive future update?
Is your bootloader locked? If it is I'm sorry you can't because when you unlock its going to wipe your device,if you want to do it
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash factory image
3. I don't recommend it but if you must relock bootloader only after you verify it boots and operates correctly
Other steps are not necessary

Are you saying I do not need to root to flash the factory image? Do I need to lock the bootloader in order to receive updates?

if you root the device then flashing the factory image will unroot it. If you want to preserve ota ability and get to marshmallow then take a adb backup of all your apps and backup your internal storage files to your computer, unlocking your bootloader will wipe out the device to factory condition, flash the latest marshmallow image MMB29S, restore your adb backup to get your apps and data back, drag and drop your other files back into internal storage. DO NOT! relock your bootloader because that will wipe everything again and you don't need to be locked to get an update and if anything were to go wrong down the road with mods or root or whatever having a locked bootloader on nexus 6 or newer is basically an easy way to hard brick your device since you have to enable OEM Unlock inside the OS to unlock your bootloader and whenever you'd need an unlocked bootloader to fix something then the device probably won't boot. If you're worried about security then keep in mind that if you have an encryption password set (booting the phone asks you to put in your lockscreen code), even if someone pulls all your files off your phone they can't access them without your password.

correct bootloader does not need to be locked to recieve ota
[Q] XT1064 on 48.86 bootloader unable to unlock due to "Wrong Password" error
I have tried the solution of flash a different bootloader in order to unlock the device, which is not possible due to the custom bootloader being a earlier version, and the device won't allow a bootloader downgrade.
Is there something i'm missing? i've searched everywhere.
Thanks!
Hello.
Normally after relocking the bootloader on these phones it will say relocked. While debranding my phone I had the phone bootloader unlocked and rooted, with the untrusted boot up message. Half way through the debranded procedure I had massive issues with encryption and it not letting me past which took an age to sort out.
Once I passed that I managed to finish debranding the phone, but after flashing the the new firmware to the phone I stopped seeing the unlocked bootloader message, when I hadnt relocked the bootloader. When I checked, the bootloader was locked and frp was unlocked.
Everything is working fine with the phone, receiving updates, all themes working, everything working great.
I just don't fully understand how it's relocked itself, but Instead of it showing relocked it shows the original locked, but frp is now unlocked while the phone is locked, both originally said locked.
Anyone have any ideas. ????
Same for me
Look at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/how-to/guide-how-to-lock-unlocked-relocked-t3465486
Did you find out why frp doesn't go back to locked Instead of staying unlocked. I only ask because my NatWest app says i'm rooted or security settings have changed and won't let me log in via fingerprint. I wonder if it's because of this. ????
Edit. If you remove USB debugging and OEM unlock it relocks the frp lock.
Good thank you for sharing it
