[Q] Rooting WITHOUT Unlocking - Help

So here is the thing...
I had some issues trying to unlock bootloader, but I got passed them and reached the part with the warning and confirming unlock.
Before I move forward, I thought I might try rooting "without" unlocking to maintain the warranty.
I'm using the following tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736271
I'm stuck on step 6 (cmd: adb devices.... List of devices attached... "It shows nothing") and 7a (cmd: freenexus.bat.... error: device not found).
I can't figure out why it is not found. Let me start by noting a few things that will help narrow this down this issue for you. I tried to run the above commands 3 different ways...
1. With phone loaded, USB attached and USB storage In Use. In the device manager I see: Disk Drives > Google, Inc. Nexus One USB Device. Result: error: device not found
2. With phone loaded, USB attached and USB storage NOT in use. In the device manager I see: Disk Drives > Google, Inc. Nexus One USB Device
Result: error: device not found
3. Bootloader (with 3 androids on bottom). It shows FASTBOOT USB. In the device manager I see: Disk Drives > ADB Interface > HTC Bootloader
Result: error: device not found
I'll also note that I have tried updating the USB drivers, but it notes I have the best drivers already... the debugging mode is activated and... if I enter the command: fastboot oem unlock, the phone seems like its recognized because it gives me the warning and option to proceed with unlock... but the one that VOIDS WARRANTY... which I'm trying to avoid.
So this is where I am at... I can't figure our why I can't move forward with rooting without unlocking bootloader.
I have a HTC Nexus One that I bought via Mobilicity in Canada which is AWS spectrum.
Any help would be appreciated....
Thanks

This guide is WAY outdated, and won't help you.
Look at the Wiki.
And look up the page for another guide. It still might not help you - if you'd search before asking, you'd know that.
But then you probably would also be writing 1 thread in 1 forum, and not spamming the General section.

Thanks... attitude not withstanding. I get it though. Noob questions and errors must get on peoples nerves after a while and keeping things polite is a challenge for some. I appreciate the useful aspect of the message... I'll keep it in mind for the future.... Search and read threads before posting to avoid spamming. That was an accident and I apologize for the message in the General area. Peace Out

[Q] Q: Back to stock?

So I know XDA is full of answers to this one, but it seems everyone either has some snarky comment like, "they won't check' or whatever. There are also some ok answers and tuts but some of it's confusing and a lot of the threads go off topic. So i'd like to ask, how do i get my phone back to stock? i have to mail my device back in for a warranty exchange as the speakers and camera stopped working suddenly.
My device is stock rooted, odex rom w/ TWRP. unlocked bootloader. Super CID and S-off. Tampered message gone in boot loader. My laptop runs Windows 8, which I'm having an issue getting the HTC manager to stay open for some reason, even after an uninstall/ reinstall of the manager and drivers. The drivers themselves seemed to have installed fine as my device is recognized as "my HTC" though when in fastboot, my comp will tell me the device is unrecognized. Using the stock usb plug that came with my phone and I've plugged in to both usb 3.0 and 2.0 ports. And yes, I do have ADB in the root of my computer, though I'm wondering if i need a different type of ADB since this is the one i used with windows 7 a while back..or does it matter?
I'd like to get things back to stock as much as possible and would be very appreciative. Thanks!

If you know there are answers why not use the search function and find them? There is a thorough guide made by mike1986 so I suggest you find that and go from there...

Thank you very much.
Edit: so I downloaded Android sdk to this comp but something isn't working right? Should i have gotten the one in the "other platforms" list? The one i downloaded didn't say it's was Windows 8 compatible, however the DL in the other list is not OS specific, just says it's for Widows 32 or 64 bit.

Why are you talking? This is a troubleshooting forum. Not a "go ahead and ask a question and maybe we'll be nice about giving you an answer forum".

I'm afraid you're wrong. Rule 1 from the forum Rules:
"1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81
Basically, search first. Chances are it has already been asked and answered - as proven in gee2012's post...
Reading your OP would indicate you know the answer is out there but can't be bothered to search - hence my first reply

Learn to read an comprehend. Obviously when I said I know i can search, then gave an indication of what was found, then that means I did search, and of course, that's what i found. But instead, you prefer to go the route that i also indicated, and chose to be snarky and rude, rather than just no answer the question at all. But thank you very much for wasting your time and mine by being as such.

Easy method: flash RUU and use revone to relock and
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
More tricky
adb getvar version-main
Post answer here.

Thing is, though, I did answer your question. mike1986 has a thorough guide on how to go back to stock so searching for that would've given you the answers you required

Having trouble flashing magisk on Pixel 4 XL

I'm attempting to root my Pixel 4 XL with magisk, but am getting hung up on one part. So far I have:
downloaded and patched the system's boot image
installed adb and fastboot on my pc
turned on OEM unlock and USB debugging
gotten into fastboot mode both by using ADB on my computer, as well as using the device buttons (power + vol down)
when I'm in fastboot, though, the device's state is "locked" regardless of OEM unlock is on or not, so I am unable to flash the magisk image. I've read around that it might be a drivers issue on my Windows 11 PC, but I am unable to find a reliable way to get the correct drivers for this task. Is there a good way for me to fix this?
The phone is an unlocked google pixel 4 XL that I bought refurbished after my initial one died. I've read that some random unlocked pixels have permanently locked bootloaders (to pixel users' chagrin), and I'm a little worried that that's the case. I tried looking up my devices IEMI to double check that it's an unlocked phone, and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary there.
the exact issue I'm facing is: When I type ".\fastboot flashing unlock" into command prompt, I get < waiting for any device > as a response which softlocks the powershell as far as I can tell.
As stated above, I have tried searching around for this issue and have come to the conclusion that it's likely a driver issue, but I am unable to figure out how to get the necessary drivers.
thank you for any help in advance!
