How do I Root Without Unlocking?

Hey yall, I have some weird issues going on where I can't unlock my bootloader from Motorola (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2377064). So I have to try a different tool and it requires that I have root access. I guess motofail2go was nuked so I was wondering if there was any other hacks that allowed us to root without bootloader?
TIA

[Q] Is it possible to root without having to unlock bootloader?

I'm getting close to getting a new phone, and there is specific data from my Motorola Photon Q that I want to move onto my computer to put onto my new phone, but all the websites and searches for ways to root this phone say I have to unlock the bootloader, which in turn means I also have to delete all the data from my phone.

When you rooting photon q or unlock bootloader you dont loose anything, some one wrote somewhere a bulls...
you dont lose anything from your phone, only flesh to stock or wipe / factory reset cause this not unloading bootloader or root
It is in fact, possible to root the Photon Q without unlocking your bootloader. It's called Towelroot. I did that, and it worked perfectly.

Root without Bootloader unlocked?

Hi, I am rather a noob.
I have seen the threads of some people successfully rooted their Flex 2.
But is that done with an unlocked bootloader or it does not matter?
What are the chances to buy a Flex 2 that with unlocked Bootloader?
I wanted to buy a new phone, but root is a must-have for me. I want more control of the device I own.:fingers-crossed:
no problems in Rooting with unlocked bootloader. Only we can't have TWRP.

Ulefone S8 pro - rooting without unlocking bootloader possible?

Hello,
i have to root my S8 pro now because the whole internal memory is nearly used by apps and system.
Is there a opportunity to root my device without unlocking bootloader?
I found magisk to modify the boot-partition and for example getting root on the device.
But you have to unlock the bootloader to flash the new boot-partition. I also read that unlocking bootloader always means that the whole device is resetted to factory-defaults which means losing all installed apps.
I have about 50 !! banking apps for generating TANs. For these apps, it's not enough to reinstall the app. You also need to reconnect the app (especially the device) to the banking account.
I think the only way to backup the the configured and connected app is to have root on the device, right?
My plan was to root the device without unlocking bootloader, then make a full-backup, unlock bootloader which resetting the deivce, and restore the full-backup.
After this, I un-root my device because the banking-apps check if a device is rooted. My plan is t re-roote the device using magisk only when needed and when no banking app is used, and then un-root it again.
Any idea how to solve my problem?
Regards

unlocked bootloader ist neccessary all the time while device is rooted, not only when flashing?
