So, I unlocked the bootloader, I flashed a custom recovery and then I installed Superuser, but after sometime I deleted everything and I installed a new ROM, but I lost my root, though I still have the bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery, I don't have superuser anymore, and root checker says I'm not rooted. My question would be, what does this mean? Is my phone rooted or not, and how does this state affect my phone, will apps be able to access root files or not? and so.
Thank you in advance.

Unlocked bootloader doesn't root your phone, SuperUser does that. So, if you don't have SuperUser binary installed, your phone is NOT rooted, and apps which require root access will NOT work. If you're running a Lollipop ROM, you need SU 2.46 because older SU will cause bootloop. So, download SU 2.46.zip, and just flash it via recovery. That will root your phone

I'm running KitKat, I was originally running Lollipop, I don't want to go back to root (I've tried though but it isn't working I don't know wh), I was just wondering if this can affect my phone "negatively".

I updated my htc one m7 to 5.0.2 just couple days ago. My question now is that can i root my phone just regular way. I mean; first open bootloader with htcdev and then using twrp recovery. If so, what version of twrp i should use. I know that this question is maybe a noob question but i want to do this right.
Thanks for your responses!

What steps have you done on your device till now?
I suppose you have only unlocked the device (when you enter hboot you will see the text UNLOCKED if that is true), so next to do will be flash the recovery and then from the recovery flash the zip file with supersu and that's it, once you have supersu in place you are ready to run apps that need root privilegies.

Hello all,
With news that the Z3 and Z3 compact are starting to get Lollipop today I am sure a lot of people are going to be coming to the boards asking this exact question. So I wanted to start a thread that can help people find the answer quickly. (I'll update the OP as useful info comes in.)
I am currently on a D5803 running 4.4.4, with a locked bootloader and am rooted. I used This how-to to get where I am.
What is the best way to upgrade to Lollipop for me?
Is there a way to keep root? A pre-rooted FTF file?
Will all DRM features remain?
Will I need to reinstall anything? Recovery? Busy Box? SU?
Does this upgrade require a full wipe?
Thanks for any help
If anyone wants to check if their bootloader is locked:
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration". If there is:
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << this means that your Bootloader is Locked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << this means that your bootloader is unlocked
just wonder...
i definitly want to root my Z3C.
Should i root with KK 4.4 or wait for Lollipop(and root later) !?

You root on KK then you can update to Lollipop and keep root.
The problem seems to be getting recovery working, or keeping it working. Can anyone comment on whether they've tried the below:
1) Flash pre-rooted D5803_23.1.A.0.690_Customized_NCB rooted.zip containing Lollipop 5.0.2 in TWRP
2) Flash Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.3-RELEASE.flashable.zip in TWRP
3) Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip in TWRP
4) Flash the stock D5803_23.1.A.0.690_Baltic_Generic.ftf and exclude system (and data/cache from the wipe section to keep settings)?
In the other recovery threats NUT seems to think his recovery should still work?

Recovery isn't working, but I'm happy with just root for now, which works great.
I didn't flash the stock after SuperSU, don't see any reason to and works for me.

I wiped it (had too much crap on the phone anyway, so worth it), restored what I wanted with Titanium Backup when done.

I also tried with flashing lockeddualrecovery but recovery doesn't work. So need to wait for an update on that one I guess.
Any ideas about what could go bad if I don't wipe data?
Also, do you still have drm?
I succesfully flashed lolipop with this method without data wipe. I still have root and DRM keys. The only thing I lost was data of some app's with external data linked to SD card with Link2SD. And some root app's started to claim about busybox not installed properly. Besides that everything works like a charm

When you flash those do you have system read and write as well? Do we need to worry about the RICDefeat in doing all this for the upgrade? Is RICDefeat integrated into that?
1.Flash the tft of lollipop
2.Get the zip of XZDualRecovery 2.8.3 Advanced Stock Kernel from http://nut.xperia-files.com/ and supersu from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
3.Flash the boot.img in AndroPlusKernel with cable on flashtool

5.Flash XZDualRecovery 2.8.3 Advanced Stock and supersu

about not working recovery
Dont know it thats issue, but I have same clue.
On KitKat after applying all steps to root 4.4.4 rom recovery was working until I changed busybox.
Oryginaly busybox was in version 1.20.2-jb - with that recovery was working.
I need some other tools and updated busbox to version 1.22.1 and recovery wasnt working (starting recovery end up with bootloop, but could start to system).
Returning back to recovery 1.20.2-jb fixed problem.

I was hoping by adding step 4, it would be possible the encrypt device. Sadly it still creates a bootloop.

And what is a safe process for us (locked bootloader, rooted 4.4) to upgrade to 5.02 or 5.1 in the future.

Does TWRP requiring unlocking bootloader?
Thanks guys.
I'm resurrecting this thread as I've got the same question as previous posters and I've not been able to find an answer elsewhere on the forum.
Basically, I've got a phone with a Bootloader which can't be unlocked. I upgraded/rooted it last year. It's still on KitKat. Is there any way I can upgrade it to Lollipop or Marshmallow without going through the downgrade/flash pre-rooted ROM procedure, without losing root? In other words, can I make use of TWRP which I installed in order to flash the rooted ROM last time? If so, how? (I'm not keen on using KingRoot unless somebody can convince me that handing over my IMEI info is safe.)
Thanks in advance.
Just flash a pre-rooted 5.1 zip made with prf creator whilst still on root+recovery KK. That's how I updated my M2 from rooted 4.4.4 KK to rooted 5.1 lollipop whilst retaining my locked bootloader. No sure if it's working for mm yet though this way
Hello all zenfone laser ze550kl/ze551kl lovers
As I posted yesterday, I have gain root access to new version .
In order to gain root access for this version, I unlock bootloader with official release of ze551kl unlock toolkit.
Since we have unlock bootloader, so we do not need to patch system file in order to gain root access.
xposed framework version78 patched released by @Shakalaka working well, xposed modules were not working properly in previous version.
Tested apps
Adaway
RootExplorer
Titanium backup
BusyBox
In order to gain root access
update your firmware to latest version,
http://www.asus.com/in/Phone/ZenFone-2-Laser-ZE550KL/HelpDesk_Download/
unlock your bootloader by using any official unlock bootloader

to apply new update you should completely unroot & flash stock boot, otherwise you may get error.
If you loss your root, then we may try again for that version.
