Hello! I tried to root my phone with superoneclick,unlock root and framaroot but it doesn't work. Framaroot it's really weird. It said that superuser is installed and I need to reboot my phone. I did this twice and my phone isn't rooted. I think the problem is the bootloader,but I don't want to unlock it. Is there a toolkit that don't need unlocked bootloader?
Thanx!

Depends on ur phone, but z4root might work and I belive it leaves the bootloader clean. It didn't work for my 4.4.2 xperia z1c, but it's worth of try.

Usually the process of rooting the One S is

1. Unlock the bootloader

2. Flash a recovery

3. Flash a root app like SuperSU.
