After doing little digging in , found few things about unlocking bootloader , rooting and flashing some root apps.. but our beloved device seems to be under the shackles of oem. Rooting and installing system apps comes with a price, u cannot update if there is any system updates from oem.
Created this thread hoping that someone can find some way of breaking these shackles. Anyone who knows a way of rooting and installing system apps without breaking system updates from oem, please share your ideas here.. I've been a long time flashaholic and this is what I used to do with my previous phone which is OnePlus one.
Unlock bootloader, root, install few root apps that I like such as viper 4 android. And when there is new ota updates from oem I'll flash stock firmware which will remove root so that I can update the phone with oem ota, after that I'll root again..
This seems to be impossible here.. if someone have some ideas please share..
Ps. If someone feels like this thread is unnecessary pls feel free to do the needful. Thanks.
Found this new nokia flash tool and steps with download links for stock roms.. could someone let me know if this is legit ? I'm pasting the website link here so that people can check that, pls forgive me if it's not allowed

Tried this myself and found that the fastboot for our device doesn't recognise the bootloader unlocking fastboot commands.. also found in few posts that earlier we were able to unlock bootloader in some old firmware and after that it was disabled by hmd.. I didn't want to go to some old firmware to do this, need to find a way to do this from Android 10. will keep trying to find more and update here.. I think we a need to wait till hmd decides to allow is to unlock bootloader.. meanwhile if someone else found something pls so share here.. thanks.

Definitely legit, he is the main developer for our device.
You are correct on the bootloader.
You need to be on earlier Android 9.0 firmware, I think Ver. 331 (not positive) or earlier. To be able to unlock bootloader. If you can figure a way to downgrade, then you can do it.
That is the current roadblock.
Once you have the bootloader unlocked it will stay unlocked.
You can then accept updates and or flash custom ROMs as you wish.
Can't offer a fix, but hope the information helps.
Now we don't need for downgrading to Android 9. XDA Senior @singhnsk has discovered a way to unlock the bootloader while on Android 10. You can reach him for remote unlock method (paid). It takes only around 15 mins.
Edit: Now the devs has released an unlocking method for Nokia 7.2 & 6.2 which is completely free and can be done by yourself!
Check out the thread here for free unlocking guide!

I was actually wanting to post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683
But it seems you are not allowed to post in that thread until you have posted at least 10 posts...which is great if you really only need to post in that one thread...
I urgently need to root the SHV-E330S, Build LRX22C.E330SKSUDOL4, that I just bought as right now it is rather useless to me...
I need to get rid of the Korean Telecom branding and make the phone understand that it is not in Korea anymore, and therefore not roaming...
But I cannot do that without it being rooted.
I checked everywhere, but I cannot find a CF-Auto-Root for that build.
I have the Recovery Image, which I was going to post in the above stated thread:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!At3VuFqpzytcgpRf36oYLgw_WPgCjA
That's a link to a OneDrive folder where I stored the Recovery Image.
Can anybody help me and possibly post a request for this in the above mentioned thread for me?
And does anybody have any further codes that allow me to find out whether I am up against a locked bootloader or not?
The codes I found so far did not work...
Or maybe someone has another idea how to find that out.
The phone has Knox installed, but it's a used phone anyway, so if warranty is void, then be it. It's one of the apps I then want to get rid of anyway.
Not sure if my phone has a flash counter.
Couldn't find out how to find that out either. Maybe someone has an idea on this one as well?
But that's only interesting with regards to warranty as well, I guess...so it does not really matter.
So, if anybody could help me in getting that CF-Auto-Root for my device and build?
And to find out whether my phone has a locked bootloader, that would be great...
Looking forward to your answers.
Kind regards,
Chris
I see there have been views. Is there nobody who could or would possibly help me?
Please?
I really need this CF-Auto-Root, but I cannot yet post in the corresponding thread.
It would be great if someone could help me out...
I very much hope that someone will have a heart and help me...
Alternatively, can anybody let me know how I can make a CF-Auto-Root myself?
Is there a program? Can I just exchange something in an existing root file?
Please, guys...I really need help...
If you have a custom recovery already, you can just flash SuperSu through it. No need for CF-Autoroot.
The bootloader won't be locked -- Korean variants of Samsung phones never are.
(also, did you try this link: https://download.chainfire.eu/493/C...-Auto-Root-ks01lteskt-ks01lteskt-shve330s.zip?)

Hi there!
Thanks for answering, and sorry my own answer comes so late, I had some internet issues now as well...what a surprise...when there is one thing, more will happen.
But back to the issue.
First of all, thanks for the info regarding the bootloader very likely not being locked. VERY good to know.
As for the CF-Auto-Root not being needed:
It might be correct that I could probably root the phone having the recovery image only...problem is, I cannot.
I know how to root with a CF-Auto-Root, that's easy enough...but without a step-by-step guide, I don't know how to root without a CF-Auto-Root....
As for the link, I cannot see which build this is for? Only which device...and as this list
https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
which is supposed to be up to date, does not list my device with the requested build, but only with a different build, I am not sure the CF-Auto-Root in your link is the one I need.
And I don't want to completely brick my phone by using a root for a different build...
Do you by any chance have a step-by-step for me on how to root the phone without the CF-Auto-Root, when I have the recovery image?
I want to unlock my kenzo running MIUI 8.1.6.0
I have the full fastboot ROM of 8.1.6.0 but I want to know is there any specific version of the emmc_appsboot.mbn which I need to download to replace the one in the ROM directory?
I have found this link but is it the right one?
Someone pls help, I don't want to screw my phone!
Why would you replace the one already present in fastboot ROM? Apply for permission and unlock officially.
I have been waiting for the official method for 10 days now, still now reply from Xiaomi.... I want to try out the unofficial way.
Do you know what to do as the next step in such a case?
I am not sure about the unofficial method. Maybe someone else who has already done it before can help you.
You don't need to unlock bootloader anymore to flash anything, there is a method to flash twrp without it
Can you provide the link?

Hi, I have had a look around and searched for this answer but cannot find a definitive answer. Is it possible to intall any custom roms if my BL is unlockable? I have checked and unfortunately I cannot unlock it on my phone (If anyone knows a way, I'd appreciate it).
I can't seem to see any mention of BL in individual rom posts but assume they need it as they use TWRP to install the roms and TWRP as far as I know needs an unlocked BL.
Thanks
There's an official website for unlocking bootloader: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/
If needed further help regarding custom ROMs, feel free to leave me a reply.

Sorry to hear that but if your bootloader is not unlockable you are stuck with stock. AFAIK there are no ROM for BL and I don't think any will be created due to the old age of this model and the support of the Sony Open Source Project
Hello i´m new to flashing and rooting and i wanted to know if it is possible to root my Honor 10 with Emui 9.1.0.357 (C432).
I have unlocked the bootloader and now i need to flash TWRP on my device right?
but on TWRP´s website there is no Support for Honor 10.
I also found OpenKirin that supports Honor 10 but on their site is emui 9.0 listed.
OpenKirin can be flashed without TWRP rigth?
i dont know what to do now.
i havent found a good guide for my problem.

Hey, sorry I can't help rooting but when did you get your bootloader unlocked and what method did you use? If you used a third party can you let us know how you did it?
Also the other thread you've commented on looks like it shows how to root but again sorry I can't help more than say try those steps (carefully! The twrp is for a different device but seems to work) .. good luck. If I ever manage to get unlocked and rooted I'll let you know.. I'm still bootloader locked as Huawei never sent my code!

I claimed my code on the last day where you can claim it from Huawei.
the other thread was an Instruction for 9.0 not 9.1.0.357.
Hello. I have no clue how to root a Motorola. I'm used to Samsung. I know most of you think this is stupid, but I don't know how to root it. I have looked for it on google and either the tutorials suck or, well mostly they suck. I do want to use the stock ROM if that helps at all. But yeah, any answers will help, thanks, guys.

You will need to unlock the bootloader,
which is about 3 steps or so,
allow oem unlocking
get the device bootloader code
summit code to Motorola
receive unlock code via emai
send the code to the device
Then you can root
2 methods for that both using Magisk
Twrp method (if there's a Twrp recovery for your device)
Use Magisk app to patch the boot.img. then flash patched-boot.img
See links in
[Guide] Root Motorola with Magisk (UnLocked Bootloader)(Non-TWRP method)
Root Motorola Devices with Magisk Note: This method has been working with most Moto Devices that the Bootloader can be UnLocked. If the Bootloader cannot be Unlocked this method will not work. Please only use this as a reference. If you require...

If you use LMSA to get the stock firmware boot.img, be sure that LMSA has the same software version that is on your device.
It is possible that your device may have an OTA update that is not available Yet, there can be a couple of days delay for new firmware.
It's also possible that LMSA has a newer version than what is installed on your device, if that's the case you may want to update to new firmware before rooting.
For minor updates the boot.img should be compatible, if the android version changed you will need the correct boot.img
Thank you for your reply. I'm just wondering now how to get stock ROM?
