I the past I rooted all my devices. I don't want to unlock bootloader on my Moto G7 plus but I'missing my Titanium Backup...
Now I read that it might be possible to get a temporary root with KingoRoot. Does anybody have experience with this?
As I understand, this app can root my device without a reboot. And after a reboot all is gone. Is this correct?
Or is there another way to get root, make a backup with Titanium, and unroot it again?

I just want to root my HTC Desire 510 in order to use Xmod game assistant and just to delete bloatware. I tried using kingoroot, it said success, but it actually didn't even work. I found out that you need to unlock the bootloader. I don't really want to this, i have no interest in it. I was thinking of using Kingoroot's HTC bootloader unlock to unlock it, then root it using the kingoroot rooter, then re-lock the bootloader with the Kingoroot bootloader program. Is it risky? Please note my phone has no important data, it's new. And I do not want to install anything custom. Just get xmod and remove bloatware. That's all I need.
Would this all work? Please help.

No this won't work and the number one reason is because if you root the phone and then spend your time deleting all the bloatware you'll be wasting your time if you don't install a kernel with write protection removed because as soon as you reboot the phone will reinstall everything! So you need to unlock the bootloader and then install the custom recovery and then make a backup first before doing anything else and then install the kernel with write protection removed and then delete bloatware!
Ok, I decided I don't want to remove bloatware. I am just rooting so I can download Xmodgames and such apps that need a rooted device. No custom ROMS or anything. Would I be fine?

Yes. Although be warned rooting will restore the phone to stock after unlocking the bootloader.
Can you even use the phone if you make changes? What I mean is isn't the point behind a locked bootloader to keep changes from being made? So if you unlock -> make a change (rooting for example) -> then relock .... doesn't that equal bootloop when the bootloader notices you've changed something?
For my two cents... I'm probably more of a noob than you @uRager, and I got through the unlocking and rooting process with not too much trouble. I think the good old fashioned way will probably serve you the best. And there are several kernels that are just a modified version of the stock kernel (write protection removed) so a couple more minutes will get the bloat removed as well. Also don't be afraid to ask questions, from what Ive seen they usually get answered.
Edit: whoops I thought this was the 2014 forum. My bad, I'm not sure how to delete, but will when I figure out.
I'm just trying to get stock Marshmallow on my ATT xt1097. Used kingroot for temp root, and sunshine SUPPOSEDLY unlocked my bootloader. During the "process", Sunshine erased itself from my phone and I had to manually reboot my phone. I got the message before boot that my bootloader WAS unlocked. But root is gone, and kingroot will not give me a permanent root.
Do I need root to flash the stock ROM? If so, is there a way to do this from my phone? I don't have access to a computer at the moment.
Hi,can anyone tell me i have rooted my droid turbo at su4tl-49 using kingroot.
It has full root access.
Can some one tell me if i use root explorer and make kingroot a system file will the root will be permanant or bricked.
I also want to ask that if i edit build.prop or any other file using root explorer will it be brick unless its safe file?
Unless you have unlocked your bootloader, what you are doing is not safe.

Unlock Bootloader, then root with SuperSU, SAFEST bet. Along with TWRP

He has said repeatedly he doesn't want to do that. He refuses to pay for Sunshine. So, he keeps trying to find a way without unlocking his bootloader (paying money), which we have advised against.
He regains temp root with King Root every time he reboots. He wants our permission to make major system changes, so when he bricks his phone it's not his fault. King Root itself will often mess up your system.

I agree about KingRoot. What's the deal, I spent I don't remember but like 20 something for sunshine, unless he's a kid he should have the $ to be honest I don't mind paying if there's not a definite free way of anything.

I'm just wondering if it's possible to like...
Unlock bootloader then restores your Titanium backup apps and then relock.. or no?
Because as far as I know there's no twrp that can read the encrypted memory and MIUI automatically encrypts the system right?
So basically there's no way to install Magisk ..
If anyone know if it's possible let me know please
I don't understand your question.
I have unlocked my Mi9, installed TWRP,deleted DATA partition, flashed xiaomi.eu,flashed magisk than restored a titanium backup taken from my old phone simply by transfer the folder with pc....
And I don't understand why people wanna relock bootloader!? In most cases you brick your phone, because it's not stock.
Guys I mean with stock global ROM not with xiaomi.eu or any other none official ROM.
I wanna lock bootloader in case my device gets stolen, lost etc.
You never know on which hands it can end.
Relock bootloader only if you flash the stock untouched image. It'useless to have a rooted locked device.... And you may cause a brick.
Yeah as we said... Don't do it if you rooted your device or flashed TWRP or anything. Relock only if it's totally stock. You may risk to brick your phone otherwise.
I was asking if it's possible to root only to being able to restore titanium apps, then remove root and then somehow restore default boot img and re lock bootloader.

I wouldn't try that. It's maybe possible but it's also possible to brick phone while there is something more changed after root and twrp. I don't know I'm not a Dev.

I have a p10 vtr-l09 8.0.0.327(c654) security patch nov 5 2018. I live in Canada and am getting sick of these Amber alerts waking me up at all hours of the night. (In Canada all alerts are sent as presidential) So I want to root and remove the cell broadcast apk. I have not done anything with this phone as of yet. I have rooted all my other phones to date. I got my bootloader unlock code from huawei before they stopped giving them out. My questions are as follows. 1. with my security patch level at nov 5 2018 will i have any issues unlocking my bootloader. I saw people having issues with unlocking the bootloader and using dc unlocker to get the code. I assume because i already have the code i should be fine? 2. After unlocking and installing twrp is magisk the best or only method of root? 3. After installing magisk removing the desired apk , is removing root by magisk easly done? . 4. Lastly Do most leave their bootloaders unlocked? I have with my sony phones in the past, just wondering. Thank you
You don't have to unlock bootloader to uninstall app. Only root will do. Do something like kingroot, and then uninstall unwanted content trough app. Of course be wise and think before what do you wipe. Some core and google apps are inportant for funcionality.
Is it Posible to Downgrade The Huawei P10Lite anyway to Root it and unlock bootloader than?
I need to install Custom Rom on P10Lite the Stock Firmwire is Sh**!!

Does kingroot modify the system partition? Reason being is I don't want to have Google's safety check flag it so I can't use specific apps. That's why I was considering unlocking the bootloader flashing a custom recovery and flashing magisk. I guess what I'm looking to do is either a hidable root, or a root and remove APK , then unroot. Banking aps are my concern, I don't want to root then not be able to use them. I used root cloak with xposed to hide it before. Not sure if it's still an option

Does Kingroot work with Oreo and unlocked bootloader? Is it how you got it working on your phone?
