Hi,
I am new to Sony Mobile, I am a root user back in HTC One X...
From what I know so far is that in order to (perm) root XZ, I need to unlock bootloader and risk to have BE 2 and some other functions to be disabled.
I remember back in my X10 years, it is able to achieve temp root using ZDroot or one-click root methods. I know it's kind of old school but is there anyway to achieve temp root now?

Im not sure what the advantages is to unlock the bootloader then obtain root, now as there is a way to root without unlocking bootloader..
can anybody elaborate?? obvious advantage is that sony cant disclaim warranty issues with a locked bootloader.
i would also like to know this

So read under android development
At a guess unlocked boot loader will allow installation of custom roms
Root will allow running software that requires root like root explorer

Are there any ROMs worth installing yet? I feel like its a lot of bloatware that I dont need are installed with it so it would be nice to clean it
i think everybody that even visits xda know what root is, but unlocking BL vs locked prior to root?
if it`s only the custom roms that cant be installed I`m keeping mine locked and just gonna root. im quite happy with the stock rom.

You can install stock based ROMs with a locked bootloader, as long as you stick to Sony's kernel.

Hi!
I want to root my Xperia Z, but I am afraid of lose my warranty.. I am new to Android, I have been a iOS user for years..
Well.. My question is: Can I root my phone without losing my warrany? If I root withous unlocking the bootloader and do not install any custom ROMs? If so.. Will I be able to run "root apps"?
Thank you for all answers
(I know there may be a few grammar/spelling mistakes, but I am norwegian, so do your'e best to understant )
Rooting without unlocking the bootloader will not invalidate your warranty.
Even if it did, there are ways to return your phone to a factory state with no trace of root if you need to send it in for repair.
Yes, rooting is enough to run root apps (maybe busybox is needed, but most root toolkits install it anyway).

Did something happen?? I just switched over from my atrix hd it's been rooted and unlocked bootloader for over a year. Well my wife thought if I did the same to get atrix she could get more money out of it. Rooting and unlocking the bootloader on hers was one of the most time consuming unlock I've done. I had to use ubuntu and etc etc...wow did she get an update that made it so complicated from when i did mine??

If she was on 4.1.x a few months ago, then yeah...
AFAIK The Ubuntu Root method wasn't so bad though. After one or two tries it goes through easy.
The bootloader unlock was rather easy as well.
At least you managed to root & unlock it so it all worked out right? ?

Wasn't there a one-click root method added sometime after?

@needleyepoke Myth Tools, which uses motopocalypse to unlock the bootloader and motochopper to root. Takes about a minute each. Or you can download each tool seperately

Is there a newer method for unlocking your bootloader? for system version 98.4.20? Because motoapacolypse will not unlock my bootloader and several pages claim it still works. I need a method compaitble with windows 7 and complete instructions please.

Mythtools/motoapacolypse didn't work? Did you install the drivers and put the mythtool files in the right directories

Mythtools: never seen any mention of this
motoapacolypse: this didnt work
I just wanna install cyanogenmod i rooted and kept the stock rom cus i wanted to keep using smartactions but after having tons of problems i switched to juice defender ultimate and i see no reason to stay on stock firmware with its bad battery life and excessively high ram usage
Can those with the knowhow work on getting us root on the 28.0.A.8.266 please. So frustrating not able to make use of ad blocking app like AdAway and other apps that need root permission (Titanium, xposed, etc).
Thank you.
Eureka, I've found it. I flashed the .266 firmware over the .251 firmware using flashtool without wiping anything. Afterwards, I used @dl12345,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...p-v2-8-7-0-sony-z3-e6553-ivykitakami-t3198009 from .251 to install TWRP and root it. Don't forget to flash SuperSU-v2.46.zip through recovery after the dual-boot zip to get root.
Danke and Happy New Year in advance.

I'm aware you can only root with unlocked bootloader. I perfectly know of the risks involved, by the way I unlocked my phone's long time ago when root exploit became available for this phone on earlier firmware.
I even got a new replacement phone off Sony (bootloader since unlocked) when my screen cracked and I sent it off for repairs.
In life, "no pain no gain". ??
I constantly check this forum for any news on root this firmware version, am already unlocked and my camera didn't focus as it should be, I really didn't notice any other feature down.
Getting new updates feels like more far away to get root...
Thx about the info. I almost open my bl. I dont understand why sony makes camera worst openning the bl. this is the only thing That freezening to open my bl. Did You try to Apple the mods for it (like 2.0 GHz and Quick change 2.0)?

I'll be perfectly honest. I see no difference in my camera since I unlocked the bootloader
Even in low Light environment?

Lol! You know the focus here was on root for unlocked bootloader on. 266 firmware because nothing yet in sight as far as locked bootloader is concerned.
So, I would like to ask some questions. Since we know that HMD Nokia hasn't given us any news about unlocking bootloader which gives me bit impatient. I was wondering if it is actually possible to achieve ROOT without unlocking bootloader.
I dont really care with Custom recovery TWRP for a while and unlocking bootloader. Seeing how many apps in Play store or to unlock full potential of the phone requires root, it is like as if your phone is restricted or limited. Backup is essential for me and I frequently use Titanium backup.
I tried using Framaroot, King root, Kingo root and none of them worked. Based on the thread in this below, someone managed to successfully root Nokia 8 but it's a prototype from what I saw. I am using Nokia 8 non-prototype one. Is it possible to do it?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/development/testing-flash-patched-boot-img-to-t3729396
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/development/question-nokia-8-partitions-t3682617
It has been 6 months since the release (CMIIW), the phone is still not unlockable which makes me sad that I regretted ever buying this phone. I was wishing that people in the community or someone out there can manage to hack + mod the phone with root like Sony Xperia XZ Premium. Been waiting for it.
So back to summary, is it possible to root with locked bootloader?
For now, it is not possible. Sadly. We just have to wait for nokia to make unlocking bootloader possible or someone to figure some way to bypass security bs and get root.
This might be a solution
