Hi
I am trying to unlock boot-loader of Gionee M6S Plus chinese version 64 GB ROM. I tried to use various apps to root like kningo root,root but no success. It was mentioned if boot loader is unlocked then there will be better chance of getting exploits and root the phone.

I carried following steps


1.adb devices
My device serial was listed

2. adb reboot-bootloader

Phone went into fastboot black screen

3. fastboot oem unlock

C:\adb>fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [  0.077s]
finished. total time: 0.078s

I didn't get any confirmation about boot lock unlock

4. I ran C:\adb>fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader)    Device tampered: false
(bootloader)    Device unlocked: false
(bootloader)    Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader)    Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader)    Display panel:
OKAY [  0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.019s

It is seen that it has not unlocked.

Any help is appreciated. Will unlocking boot loader brick my phone ? My main intention is to root safely and get regional fonts and google play store.

Thanks

One Click rooting app can't root phones running from lollipop upward
You will need custom recovery to root your device. 

BTW, Check your bootloader lock status by inputing the below command in fastboot. 
Code:

fastboot getvar unlocked

Your bootloader can't be unlocked via the regular fastboot method

Hi, I want to make device critical unlock as true. Can you please help me what commands I have to use. As I had said earlier my device is temporarily rooted . When I Googled online I found one forum where they said by pushing into system dir and pushing jar files with appropriate permission in appropriate dir google play store can be made to work. I thought after unlocking boot loader i may get access to system folder, but unfortunately no... Can you please help me how to unlock critical ? Because I think that is the one which is not allowing me to access system folder. I have few questions

1.After unlocking critical if do factory reset will it work or brick?
2.After unlocking critical can I still take OTA update ? Will it brick ? Or Do I need to again lock boot loader and take update?
3.In case if I get access and put some files in system folder and for any reason I do factory reset, Will I be able to boot up properly or will be stuck in boot loop ?
Thanks in advance
