Do I have to flash TWRP for that? I want to avoid unlocking bootloader, please tell me if its possible
Unlock your bootloader, flash Magisk in TWRP. No, there is no way to do it without a bootloader unlock.

First of all, if you want to unlock your phone, check the date of manufacturing first! It is well documented here plenty of examples of newer phone brick when unlocking bootloader, so better be careful!
Secondly, if you ran into problem, you need to re-lock your phone using flash tool. Then re-unlock again! I previously lost my phone GSM radio when unlocking bootloader (while on GingerExperia). I have to flash into stock ROM (it's a must) using flash tool, and relocked again.
Finally, it is safest to unlock bootloader in stock rom.

No, you don't need to unlock it again. BL is the flash partition of the phone, what contains a secret code. When you unlock the BL, you'll remove the code and the flash partition will be open. When you flash a new ROM, it changes the system partition. When you flash a new kernel, it changes the flash partition but nothing else. So you'll not need to unlock BL again.

Is there a method that has been released yet?
Unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP and then flash Supersu. Very simple to root a dev device.

Is there away to brute force root? I'd like to root before I unlock my boot loader, so I can back everything up before the wipe. :-\

You may be able to use SlapMyMoto. Not sure though.
Go to this thread and follow directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534850. Once you install the recovery, it will root your device for you.
If you have a Dev edition device why not unlock your boot loader first since it will wipe everything just get it over with. Flash your twrp and make your stock back up. Then let twrp install root. Done. If you are worried about losing anything from unlocking the bootloader then back it up to your PC. If you want a complete stock set up of your device then you have stock fast boot images for your Dev edition device and don't have to worry about that.

Hello everyone, i am pretty bad at english so dont judge me becouse of this, and i am also noob here
So, i have problem. Why i cannot enter into recovery mode? I want to flash custom rom in my phone, i already have succesfully rooted with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/guide-how-to-root-10-5-1-0-283-t2872873 and now i want custom rom, but i cant flash it becouse i cant enter in recovery mode, whats the problem? And another question, did i need unlocked bootloader for custom roms? What if i need it but i have already rooted? Did its big risk to unlock bootloader for already rooted phone? Sorry guys i am noob here, thanks for help!
First, did you install any recovery like CWM or TWRP or Phil...
on the page it talks about XZDualRecovery: you may choose any other if you prefer
if not there is no GUI based recovery in Sony Software and you need to install them separately.
Since you have already Rooted the Phone..
1. Start with This, go to the below link and backup your TA partition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
This backup is very important if you want to revert back to factory image so keep it safe. WITHOUT THIS BACKUP DO NOT UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
2. Only on successful backup of TA, think about unlocking your bootloader. from your dialer dial *#*#7378423#*#*, and check if you have "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes"
Unlocking the bootloader means you can install any of the ROM's available for your phone. If you don't want to unlock or cannot unlock then you may be restricted ROM's with Sony Kernels only.
Is it possible to root OnePlus 3T without unlocking bootloader?
I was thinking maybe boot twrp through fastboot boot twrp.img then flash the supersu file without unlocking bootloader or flahing twrp.
I just want to root.
Will i recieve OTA update if this method works?
Will this method work?

No. That's no possible. You need an unlocked bootloader or else your phone wouldn't boot after flashing TWRP if it even makes it that far.

I was talking about booting twrp not flashing it
I don't think you would be able to flash SuperSU as it isn't signed, even if you do manage to boot into TWRP.
