I found this TUTORIAL, and in it does not inform that it is necessary to have the bootloader unlocked, does it work? In item n°5 informs that TWRP will not be installed on the system will only be run at that time to be able to install root.
Is this correct?
Its wrong, we can't root without unlocked bootloader

I have a Mi5 running LineageOS 14.1
I flashed this ROM a few months ago without the optional root package, so (obviously) there's no root access. However there's a few apps that will not open if root was detected, and while the ROM doesn't have root, I think the apps knew the bootloader was unlocked. So I was wondering if it's possible to relock the bootloader, and then unlock it again if I need to change the ROM.
Can this be done? I flashed the ROM with TWRP; however I didn't keep TWRP as a permanent recovery so it should be running the stock recovery.

I think you shouldn't. You can't unlock bootloader if you not on miui. And one mi account can unlock bootloader only once on 30 days.
It ws esy unlocking the bl in g5s+ , what about the z3 play, wife surprised me with this phone, im liking it already, but would like to unlock the bl and eve tually gain root/custom recovery ?
Anyone?
Depends on the model you have specifically, certain ones cant be unlocked such as amazon version. But the steps are the same as all other android phone bootloader unlocks, Steps can be found on motorola website:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
The basics consist of:
enable developer mode
enable "OEM Unlock" in developer settings
fastboot into phones bootloader and run OEM unlock commands
copy unlock code from phone that you get using oem unlocking commands into motorola website
receive email from motorola with unlock "password"
enter password into adb terminal
phone will be wiped and bootloader unlocked
Thats what i thought, i went there just to see , looks the same as for my G5S+ , ill likely do this. Is there guide somewhere on instally magisk as im outdated ( an old chainfire guy) just need some hints , doesnt look like twrp works , what about clockwork mod? Thats fine as well, , any good roms? Think 9 is comming?
Magisk root is straight forward. You can either get a working boot.img for your device from a firmware package and patch/flash it yourself. Or boot NOT flash the twrp images from the twrp website and install the magisk zip that way. The twrp for this device hasn't been compiled for flashing. It boots but flashing it to your device will boot loop it. No custom ROMs that I know of but I'm just using stock with magisk and it's fine once you have root to delete the bloat ware apps and install tweaks from magisk.
I've managed to get my hands on this device and it seems I can't find any method to root this phone or unlock its bootloader. If there's anyway to root or install twrp recovery with unlocked bootloader, please let me know.
I'll highly appreciate that.
How to root it actually im new here
Now, then LG don't gives bootloader unlock key anymore, it seems so probably.

I should assume you've probably figured it out by now, but just in case you didn't:
You're gonna need to follow the guide that lets you unlock the bootloader. Once your bootloader is unlocked, you need to install magisk, patch your (active) boot image in magisk and then flash it the same way you did the bootloader (ie through QFIL).
I can clarify some of the steps if you want me to, but the gist of what I did is there. I have an LM-V409N running the SKT Android 10 build w/ root access.

i thought lg t mobile can't be unlocked? how'd u do it?
Hi all, i don't follow modding world from a while so i don't know what happened more or less into the last 3 years, so now that i need to root the device i wanted to do some questions.
I bought a realme 8 pro at the dayone and now i have the last update installed (so realme UI 4.0). I wanted to do the root but i don't know how much realme support it, if the bootloader is locked or not, ecc. ecc.
I saw in this phone thread that there is a method (the guide is written in May, 14 so it seems very recent) about unlocking bootloader (so i guess is locked?) using deeptest, i tried to read but i didn't really understand what kind of thing is that. So i wanted to ask, what is deeptest? if it is locked, if i successfuly unlock this bootloader what happens to AIO updates? (I guess there will be no updates such as other devices?). If the AIO updates stop to work, Is there a way to manually download and install updates? Can i root this device using magisk for example? I have seen there is something, but there are these things i can't understand.
Thanks in advance for replies and sorry for my bad english.
Hi, yup, the bootloader is locked.
Deeptesting is an app by realme used to request an unlock code. You can try this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-bootloader-help.4425415/post-86777721
Try submitting your application, if it tells you "Your model doesn't support deeptesting" you'll have to follow my guide.
Either way, after a bit of waiting, inside Deeptesting → query approve result → start Deeptesting.
Doing this allows your phone to boot into fastboot. Where you can unlock your phone using
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your data.
Hi, thanks for the reply! So there is a method to unlock the bootloader. But if i do it, i can't update anymore my device via OTA, right? How could i do that thing. In addiction, is not possible to obtain root permission without bootloader unlock? Because i need root to save whatsapp messages 'cause the application is stupid and can't do a backup by itself.
In addiction... I downloaded deeptesting and my phone does not support it. Yeah
You can get OTAs if, and only if, you didn't modify the firmware. Unlocking itself doesn't break OTAs, but rooting/custom kernels/vbmetas etc. will.
You can't get root without unlocking. As per Whatsapp, I think you can use ADB to back up data without root.
Thanks again. As i know ADB is disabled for whatsapp from a while. Ok then, thanks anyway for all informations. I guess after the bootloader unlock i can install magisk to obtain root acces.
