Will we see a root for locked bootloader or is it impossible?

Personally I wouldn't count on it. But then, I am a pessimist when it comes to Sony rooting/modding etc.
It's not impossible but it will probably take a while for someone to find a way. There are some smart guys looking into it but who knows if/when they'll find anything.
A thread with a progress, attempts or ideas would be nice - IF some1 works on a solution. Maybe others could help.

I had root with ICS and lost it with the OTA JB update. I've been toying with the idea of unlocking and rooting but dragging my heels in the hope some clever developer will find a way to root without unlocking. It's been a while now though and there has been no obvious signs it might happen soon. So it's just a simple question really, and in no way should it be seen as a nag or a whinge
Is anyone aware of any developers who are actively working on getting root on JB without unlocking? Or should I just stop waiting and get on with my life?

Have you search in Dev forum ?
You will find that one dev works for one rom for TG
Search and read a little => go to the TF300 dev forum
I read the Dev forum regularly and haven't seen any comments suggesting that root for JB is imminent. In fact you, yourself state in the Dev forum that root on JB isn't possible.
Could you be less cryptic perhaps?

I'm not cryptic about the root for JB.
Just want to says that one dev works for one rom for TG...that's all
I'm sorry if I misled you.
Any chance that we will be able to root without unlocking the bootloader similar to how it was done for the Moto X in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444957 ?? I don't have much knowledge about it but maybe it could be possible?

Not yet. We need of an exploit like that.
If I knew anything about it I would do it but I have no clue what all would be involved in it. Hopefully someone will be able to get something similar soon!
Ok does anyone have any gossip about root with leaving the bootloader locked so we don't lose the camera and screen benefits?

ATM it is not possible.
There are no threads about people working it either, but there will be some people doing I am sure.
As soon as it is possible it will the development section and, trust me, you will hear about it.
Hi,
First of all i would like to apologize to everyone on this section since i am really not good with sony.
So i have a device which has a locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked. As the title says i am looking for custom roms or rooted roms with bootloader locked. As much as possible i have searched the development thread but cant find any.
So can anyone give me a link or something of a recommended rom for locked bootloader?
Thanks

As far as i know, that i've observed here, Revolution HD is the most popular (the one made by yash989)
Being stuck to locked bootloader sucks, my friend's SP is locked by carrier. i understand the feeling :/

Yeah. It really2 sucks. I dont know why they do this.
Anyway will keep on reading about it and hopefully get an easier way to install. Thanks by the way.
Any other recommendations?

Go to android development section, the few top ones are the best

So just a quick simple question that a lot of you already probably know. I know that running a OTA takes away root, but does it lock the bootloader too?
I tried searching but was unable to find the answer in the scenario of running an OTA with NOT rooted but UNlocked bootloader. I know an OTA does not lock the bootloader on a Nexus device from my own experience with Nexus's. However my question is mainly for Samsung, HTC, LG, and Motorola devices if I plan to root one of them in the future.
