ok stock cricket htc desire510.
i decided to root this device is there a guide and if so could the link be provided.
also how safe is the rooting and unlock process.
i truely wish some one could have informed the this tool was safe.(link below.)
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...l-windroid-universal-android-toolkit-t2984480
ps: yes i know i assume all risks involved in the unlock and root process.
also if kingo root is needed just forget it one bricked device from that is enough!
as always thanks for all help and keep up the fine work.

Here is the link to get unlocked, recovery, and rooted.
I believe this method is very safe as long as you follow it correctly. I've done it multiple times, but like you said, "yes i know i assume all risks involved in the unlock and root process."
You're in luck. As far as I know, kingoroot does not work, so you don't have to mess around with that.

1. First, I would like to thank the XDA forum for its excellent tutorial on flashing lollipop rom using flashtool and for the lollipop ftf file. I have successfully flashed my xperia z.
2. I then "successfully" rooted my phone using Kingroot.
3. Please note the word successfully in quotes -- root checker apks tell me that my phone is rooted. Yet there are system programmes that I cannot uninstall.
4. Is it because I have not unlocked my bootloader?
Please share your experience. Thanks to all the people here.
No you don't need to unlock your bootloader.
Kingroot is not a good root tool.

Thanks for the reply. I have gone through the thread you mention. But I get the message which says that sdcard cannot be mounted. Thanks again.

You're saying Kingroot isn't a good rooting tool as it is but within the same answer you're linking him to a step-by-step guide which requires him to use Kingroot ^^
I've had good experiences with Kingroot, just dont use the "Purify"-Functionality after the rooting process
Apart from this, if you use Kingroot and it works for you (meaning no random reboots because of the RIC-issue) you're good to go! Otherwise consider replacing KingUser with SuperSU
I just want to root my HTC Desire 510 in order to use Xmod game assistant and just to delete bloatware. I tried using kingoroot, it said success, but it actually didn't even work. I found out that you need to unlock the bootloader. I don't really want to this, i have no interest in it. I was thinking of using Kingoroot's HTC bootloader unlock to unlock it, then root it using the kingoroot rooter, then re-lock the bootloader with the Kingoroot bootloader program. Is it risky? Please note my phone has no important data, it's new. And I do not want to install anything custom. Just get xmod and remove bloatware. That's all I need.
Would this all work? Please help.

No this won't work and the number one reason is because if you root the phone and then spend your time deleting all the bloatware you'll be wasting your time if you don't install a kernel with write protection removed because as soon as you reboot the phone will reinstall everything! So you need to unlock the bootloader and then install the custom recovery and then make a backup first before doing anything else and then install the kernel with write protection removed and then delete bloatware!
Ok, I decided I don't want to remove bloatware. I am just rooting so I can download Xmodgames and such apps that need a rooted device. No custom ROMS or anything. Would I be fine?

Yes. Although be warned rooting will restore the phone to stock after unlocking the bootloader.
Can you even use the phone if you make changes? What I mean is isn't the point behind a locked bootloader to keep changes from being made? So if you unlock -> make a change (rooting for example) -> then relock .... doesn't that equal bootloop when the bootloader notices you've changed something?
For my two cents... I'm probably more of a noob than you @uRager, and I got through the unlocking and rooting process with not too much trouble. I think the good old fashioned way will probably serve you the best. And there are several kernels that are just a modified version of the stock kernel (write protection removed) so a couple more minutes will get the bloat removed as well. Also don't be afraid to ask questions, from what Ive seen they usually get answered.
hey y'all, so I have a clt-l29 from latin america (though i'm in the usa), and I have an idea of how to root for free and I haven't seen it mentioned here so I figured I'd ask if y'all think it'll work
before anything obviously back up your phome if you don't want to lose data
the first step you'll have to stay with me on: root with kingroot or another one click root service (yes, i know these can contain spyware; that will be fixed later)
^^^ I can't complete this step because the clt-l29 can only be rooted with oneclickroot, which costs money, so it defeats the whole purpose. but i know other p20 pro versions are supported on kingroot and kingoroot
the second step would be able to follow the guide at https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/alternative-method-unlocking-bootloader-t3799294 - retrieving your unlock code with superuser adb (originally i read another guide that didn't include all of the other steps, just the commands)
then just unlock it with fastboot, and flash the stock firmware again so the spyware is gone.
my question is, would this work? i can't follow through, unless y'all maybe know of a way to use superuser adb without root or a one click root solution for the clt-l29? has this worked for y'all?
I am quite new to this rooting and all...but I want to try this on my Moto...so if I get any help it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
(My device is Moto one power.)
First you need to unlock the bootloader
For that follow this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-power/how-to/guide-motorola-one-power-unlock-relock-t3858797
Then root via the magisk app
I just bought a carrier unlocked V405QA running V405UA20a. Confirmed with my t-mobile sim card.
My goal is to install Lineage 17.1 with root via TWRP and use it on t-mobile service. After reading a lot I’m still not 100% sure how to proceed.
The steps I think I should follow are:
Crossflash with a US unlocked rom (V405QA20a). Using this guide.
Unlock the bootloader using this guide. Since I have "Enable OEM Unlock" and I’m running Pie I think I should skip the V35 Bootloader section but I’m not sure.
Install TWRP and root using this guide.
There's also this guide from getdroidtips.com which seems simpler and covers steps 2 and 3.
Has anyone tried similar steps?
Is crossflashing required if I'm going to load Lineage anyway?
Can step 2 result in loosing fastboot?
Is getdroidtips guide a better approach?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
I'm trying to do this too
I have had a good few headaches from it, and still am not done. But most of my headaches I could easily say are my fault.
Crossflashing worked great for me, works with Tmobile
When I first unlocked I was able to use fastboot, get TWRP working, and run LineageOS. But after stuff messing up, I have now lost fastboot mode and don't know how to get it back
It's all possible, and not too hard. I personally followed the steps you think you should follow. But I'd recommend hearing what other people have to say first before you start doing things.
Edit : I got a sprint carrier locked one and made it unlocked
So I’m not 100% sure on the steps for unlocking that the getdroidtips.com guide gives you. I’m pretty sure it only works for European models. Honestly, the other two guides don’t look too crazy. Although, you may want to cross flash AFTER unlocking your boot loader. My v40 gets here sometime this week. I’ll try to follow the other guides and I’ll let you know how it goes.

Just google it, there are a ton of different guides. You can either contact sprint, or you can pay for an unlock service. Usually they are like 10$

Thanks! I thought the guide is only for bootloader unlocked. Does it carrier unlock the phones too?

I'm 99% sure this method is only to unlock/mod the bootloader....and does NOT network/carrier /sim unlock anything. If there is a sim/unlock method that is do-it-yourself, it would require flashing a rom etc. I would love to be wrong here though.

Thanks. That's what I thought too. Was puzzled by the earlier poster.

Just follow the whole guide and definitely do not use getdroidtips. You still need the engineering abl to enable fastboot and run the unlock command
