You need an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed in order to root your device. Then you just flash supersu zip.

Will my warranty will void after unlocking bootloader ?

Nope warranty is over once its rooted as far as i know.
No, you won't void the warranty by doing that. You can always flash MIUI rom with flash_all_lock script and it will lock your bootloader and wipe. Nothing will void your warranty.

It used to be that you had to unlock in order to root etc.
But now with one click root applications like SuperOneClick etc, is there any reason to unlock the bootloader? Is it required for any custom ROM procedures?

Not really (although it does make things easier to flash - using fastboot is very convenient.)
But then again, is there any reason to not unlock it? It has been shown numerous times that HTC will honor the warranty despite an unlocked bootloader, while it has never been shown that HTC has refused warranty service because of an unlocked bootloader.

Ah, so the only thing unlocking does is provide access to using "fastboot"?
I know; I warranty swapped mine that was bootloader unlocked I'm just asking for general information.

Yes, unlocking your bootloader = the ability to flash images to your Nexus One using fastboot. That's it.
What if I am not planning on using a new rom? I want to stay on stock, but say, just want to overclock. I don't want to lose any data.
Would that make sense to just root?

I think you can just root then via SuperOneClick.
I have another question about unlocked bootloader. How can I tell if my bootloader its unlocked? I know usually I have to flash slp to unlock it or set S-off and if I'm not sure it should still be locked, but when I flashed modaco rom it said something about unlocking bootloader. I didn't want to but couldn't abort! So when I boot into bootloader it doesn't say unlocked but any way to tell beside that?

You'd see a padlock icon at the bottom of the 'X' screen as you boot up if you are unlocked.
Thanks, so I'm locked.

you can then use the all in one tool (from rooting) to install cwm after you have unlocked bootloader.

how to Root with locked bootloader
Hi, Is it possible to root on a locked bootloader. I feel its risky to unlock bootloader because we definitely loose warranty where as on locked bootloader its possible to regain warranty after full unroot.

When you relock the bootloader you will get back your warranty, so no worries
effects after unlocking bootloader canvas a1
After unlocking bootloader, whats the significant loss? Like for example, after unlocking bootloader of xperia i lost my DRM keys and then after even relocking i couldn't get them back so some Sony apps like walkman, track id were not working.
Is there anything same here on Android one also.?
---------- Post added at 06:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 AM ----------
And also what about the OTA from Google? After unlocking bootloader, Will I get the same we get on locked bootloader?

Absolutely right. All "tutorials" with unlocking bootloader, formatting userdata, installing custom recovery are trash. Especially because we are going to get L update soon and custom ROMs aren't going to be the priority for a lot of people.

If you have no idea what you're talking about, why accuse someone with some idea?
Quick thing guys... Correct me if i am wrong.
When you root the device, changes are done to system and (i think) now Google as a second level checks if there are changes done at the system. If that's the case, will we get L push update with locked default bootloader and a rooted device?
Thanks.

Unlocking bootloader here will wipe all the data stock in the phone. AFAIK there is no loss over here.
You will need the stock recovery to flash the OTA update

Install - SYSTEM APP REMOVER from Google Play Store
Can this device be rooted without unlocking the bootloader? I don't want to unlock the bootloader since I want to keep my warranty.
It is useless because regardless of device and brand, any procedure of rooting or going to even partially modify the official system components will void the warranty ... temporarily! You can unlock your boot loader. The question is ifi you can unroot and reblock the bootloader ................ if you can do same it's ok!
You can unroot and relock your bootloader without any trouble.
Off course, personally I only use SU from @Chainfire to root, I can't report about other's methods.
I have unroot and downgrade for reinstall the single variant sim firmware(my 2 p8 is single sim but I use one with 2 sims) , and relock my bootloader for sending it to Huawei for warranty coz of a hardware issue , no trouble.

Yeah you can root with kingroot . but its not good once you root with kingroot you will not able to UNROOT IT. Do it in your own risk . better do by unlocking bootloader and flash thru adb. and supersu (chainfire) is safe and efficient.

no, its not possible. you would be stuck on boot since the bootloader is locked and wont allow the phone to boot with root access on.

You can re-lock your bootloader with SRK Tool before you have to send your phone for service.
