i forgot where i read it. but it did state custom recovery now can only be obtained by unlocking bootloader. but u can try to fastboot the recovery.img without unlocking. see if it works.

Thanks for all replies.

BTW, any advise on which sp to buy? Glass or film and which brand is better? FYI, I will be using diztronic TPU case, just ordered through forumer NightFelix.

Cheers.

no, it wont work. i try last time on 25r..need to unlock bootloader before proceed to flash/fastboot anything.

yes. follow that guide.

Yeap, previously before you can do fastboot boot recovery.img; but now is not possible already. Need to unlock bootloader then flash custom recovery > root > enjoy.

That's why I always recommend straight unlock bl when get device before setting anything up (when you're certain you're going to root/flash in the future), minimize the hassle.

That's what I did last time, just to avoid some error here and there.

Still need do it after update via OTA?

Yeap. To update just do the same step.
As how you flash a new update.
Same method.


You ni ahh..

Unlocking bootloader is only a one-time thing (until you relock it)

Got it
