Hi all. Is there any root available for f8331 without unlocking bootloader? My bootloader is unlockable at the moment.
Thanks
Nope. We all are at least waiting for a temp root to backup the TA partition.
Hope Dirty-Cow could help us in some ways.
yes

Hi folks,
D6603 users seem to be running into a bit of a brick wall due to a Memory Allocation issue in the giefroot exploit for people to root with Locked Bootloaders.
Issue right now is the need for someone with a D6603 with an unlocked bootloader and root to assist @zxz0O0 in figuring it out to get the D6603 back on track for root.

I've volunteered to help but just want to clarify I'm good to retain my DRM linked functions when I lose my TA partition as has been advertised around the place.
Or if you'd like to assist and already have an Unlocked Bootloader and want to help the cause PM @zxz0O0 for further instructions.
Thanks!
Hi. I have been thinking about unlocking boot loader and rooting my z3 for the purposes of installation of stock android ROM, I have seen about the loss of DRm when unlocking the bootloader.
I wanted to ask people if it is worth it losing some functionality over a custom rom

You can root without unlocking the bootloader. Or backup the TA partition which holds DRM so if you decide you want to lock again you can just do it.
At least locked bootloader root is worth it. Awesome Stock Custom ROMs on here

Just as mentioned above. I dont mind waiting but just wanna ask is there anybody able to get it already? I've done some google, some pages offer a very 'detailed' instructions like just install TWRP using fastboot method then flash the SuperSU binary then bingo!! Some others state unlocking BL is required. Since to me xda is the only reliable source so I guess I will be looking for answers here.
Cheers
since the Z3+ and newer devices, root with lock bootloader is impossible at least for now.
btw, unlock bootloader is so easy for root, why not? Warranty?

Btw it'd be appreciated if u could share some posts about re-locking bootloader and backing up/restoring DRM keys, especially for this new Xperia XZ.

I've been waiting for over 3mths for some progress on backing up the ta keys on all the x range(I have the xa) I don't see it ever happening to be honest and I've made the mistake of loosing ta keys before I won't be doing it again.

I Have disabled bootloader on my Xa hoping that I will be easily able to root it but unfortunately that is not the case... So I was wondering if any on you guys might know how I can manually root it or anything. Thanks

Rooting of Xperia XA requires unlocked bootloader. This is first step and it can be done by Flashtool. Without unlocking bootloader you cant root that phone.
Hello everyone so despite trying in the past and the app saying unable to root. I decided to check my Z5 E6653 this morning and to my surprise i got the message that my device can be rooted. Has anyone got this on Nougat 7.1.1 ? Did it work in the end or not? Im sceptical and not sure if i should give it a try. My device is stock with an unlockable bootloader that is still locked currently.
No.

Thanks,i will and take a look.
Even if you get temporary root with some exploit, as soon as you modify the system partition Or boot partition, your device will bootloop forever because the bootloader knows that the system has been tampered.
The only possible thing would be crack the bootloader, which is (almost) impossible.
Simply backup your TA partition with Iovyroot,then unlock the bootloader and install the proper kernel that emulates TA drm protection and lets you root the Rom.
If needed you can restore TA partition and send phone to repair service like it was never unlocked.
