Is there a reliable way to root without unlocking the bootloader on the latest update?

I have a Google direct Nexus One, running FRF91 OTA and I'm wondering if I should root it. What advantages does rooting my device bring me? Is there an easy way of rooting without unlocking the bootloader? Can I install a custom theme without rooting? Can I keep the stock FRF91 rom and still maintain root and OTA downloads?
On my Transformer tablet, I can root, and use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to update via OTA and maintain root on the stock firmware + root.
Is this possible with the HTC One? From the FAQ, it appears as if I'll have to manually flash for every OTA if I want root.
Thanks!
Hello All , Currently i have Xperia Z1 C6903 Running Android 4.3 "14.2.A.1.136" , and i got 4.4 OTA Update .
My question is if i accepted the update , can i root it afterwards by unlocking the bootloader and install custom recovery , and root it ?
or i can root my current os 4.3 then update to 4.4 OTA and the root will be still there ?
You can Root it by Unlocking Bootloader but if you do so you will lose DRM Keys forever and your Warranty will be void. No, you can not root any current Android 4.3 or 4.4 directly, to do so you have to follow the steps by NUT to downgrade, get Root then Backup TA (very Important) then you can update to 4.4 or 4.3 always with NUT method. Why not OTA? Because you will lose Root. So the only way is to Downgrade to get Root and Upgrade after.
Never accept an OTA with an unlocked boot
Is there any way to root the phone running the newest software that was released today?

Any custom recovery or other methods?

I was wondering what sort of changes take place when you root the G5s Plus. I got several patch updates so far. Will the latest update stay once I root the device? I just want to root the device for now, not install any custom roms.
I received an OTA with an unlocked bootloader so I don't see any reason why you wouldn't with root. This only works with the stock recovery though, if you have TWRP installed I don't think it will work.

Rooting involves 3 steps. Unlock bootloader, install TWRP, and install Magisk patch. Just unlocked bootloader doesn't mean phone is rooted.

Unlikely that the OTA will install if you have TWRP and Magisk... I wonder if we can still use Flashfire to flash the OTA and keep recovery and root?
