ZR-lockeddualrecovery2.7.124-BETA.installer is for locked bootloaders. read OP before doing anything otherwise you will brick your phone.
You can flash recovery kernel. see in dev forum

@sijav isnt NUT's recovery for locked BL? correct me.

what's differences between BL and UL for you guys?
UL can flash kernel.
BL cannot flash kernel!
what's recovery?
some binary files that should be called before calling and starting system so it's pretty good to start in kernel before trying to start system.
but what if we can't modify the kernel?
yet we can modify the system and put some binary files in stock chargemon (when the phone trying to figure whether goes to offline charging or not) so it starts first in whole system and wait for a key, if pressed just execute the recovery!
so again, can something that specifically build for LB be flashed or run on UB?? my answer is mostly yes.
can something that needs flashing kernel or other things than system and data on LB? my answer is mostly NO
is [NUT] recovery for both ub and lb? yes! if you don't have recovery on kernel. ( or else you have two recovery one in kernel and one in system and 3 seconds delay in each starting nothing else)

[TUT] How to root your Android One devices (sprout) with Locked Bootloader

Hi guys, today I am going to share this simple tutorial on how to root without unlocking bootloader of sprout.. Many people asked me how to do so I am here to create a simple tut for everyone..
Requirements
1. Any custom recovery for sprout (I prefer philz http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...e-general/sprout-philz-touch-v6-57-9-t2887574 )
2. Fastboot files (google for minimal fastboot) and fastboot drivers
3. Supersu update zip (http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu)
Proceedure
1. Install fastboot drivers and fastboot files..
2. Rename the custom recovery as "recovery.img"
3. Place the recovery.img within fastboot directory (where the fastboot.exe located)
4. Put supersu.zip in root of your phone's sd card
5. Connect your android one device to pc using usb cable in fastboot mode (switch off phn and press power+vol up and then select fastboot)
6. Use the following fastboot command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
This command will not flash the recovery, it will just let your phone boot into recovery and it will work on locked bootloader
7. You will get the recovery menu then. Install the previously downloader supersu.zip from external sd card using the recovery menu.
8. Congratulation, You have successfully rooted your android one device without unlocking bootloader...:good:
Here is a video guide created by @thesaurabh7777, u can check it..

2. @Chainfire for supersu.zip

thanks
Thank you. Just what i wanted.

Anyone tried? And how to unroot if needed ?
UPDATE : I tried. It works and works like charm. I have created CWM backup of my stock ROM, rooted device and installed xposed also.
You can always unroot from settings in SuperSu - Which essentially removes itself and su binaries.

Hi, if I root my device this way, just to backup some apps via TB, and not modify the system any other way, are you sure just unrooting will be enough to safely apply the Kitkat to Lollipop OTA?
I've read about this new "verified boot" thing in Lollipop, which essentially means if you modify system partition in any way, even if just to add the SU app/binaries, the OTA will fail (where it obviously didn't use to, before lollipop). I'm not sure if this verified boot thing will apply to the OTA for Kitkat to Lollipop too, or just updates From Lollipop to future versions.
(AP did an article just a couple of weeks back, check it out here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...e-means-update-will-fail-system-modified-way/ )

I have made a backup of Stock ROM before rooting it,so when LOLLIPOP arrives and in case i have changes some system files, i can simply restore the stoock ROM to recieve the updates right???

[Q] Can anyone root android L ??

Finally we got Android L, so can anyone root it ??

On UB, flash twrp recovery using fastboot (fastboot flash boot recovery.img). Then flash super su using recovery. After that flash back kernel using flashtool.
I'm still figuring out how to flash a twrp recovery on ub

If this root method is working, you can try flash recovery in FOTA partition by for example Xperia Recovery Manager.

If you have allready rooted phone, use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2859904
To create rooted update file and flash it via recovery.
You might need to downgrade,root and update via your own lollipop package.

root nougat

is there anyway to root android 7?

finger crossed!

Little question:
I'm on stock MM on my z3plus, with locked bootloader, never unlocked, never rooted (for now).
With my previous Z1C, I've flash recovery without unlock bootloader or flash other kernel, keeping the stock kernel I can use recovery and a custom ROM, I can do this starting from Kit Kat, root with a tool in KK and install recovery from KK. After this, flash KK custom ROM.
Now, with z3plus and MM seems more difficult to do this.
With a locked bootloader, how can I install recovery and root my phone? It's possible?

Already rooted. I'm running the .372 version.
All you need to do is fastboot a TWRP enabled boot image (which will temporarily boot to TWRP). Then flash SuperSu. Flash stock nougat kernel with DRM fix. The steps are in XDA somewhere.

Rooting Process.............
