Root on locked bootloader

His guys just got the xzp and wow what a phone my only concern is root I have a locked bootloader and it's not unlockable but to be fair I've never unlocked a Xperia bootloader due to loosing drm keys etc
So my question is will we be able to get root on locked bootloaders like we did with past Xperia phones or are we stuck unless we unlock which in my case would mead no root ever :crying:
Thanks

Probably not would be my guess. You still need to unlock bootloader on previous models such as XZ/XZS.

Darn I love this device too but to never be able to have root might be a deal breaker

In service menu it says unlock bootloader allowed no but in developer options it give me the option to unlock the bootloader does this mean it's possible for me to unlock the bootloader

That setting is there regardless. If it says no its not possible.

But I cannot unlock the bootloader I was hoping for a root without unlocking the bootloader like the z3 which was my last Xperia device

One question if I stay with the xzp cam I at least flash the latest stock UK unbranded room with a locked bootloader so I can get rid of my carrier stuff thanks

So what your saying is they maybe a work around getting root ect on locked bootloaders?
Thanks again

Like always, if a security breach is found on Android that allow getting root access, it will be possible to backup the DRM partition, then after if you like, unlocking the bootloader and then restore your DRM partition.
At least, it finished like this for the Z5, but you had to downgrade to Lollipop to get root access.
AFAIK, there is no known way to get root on Nougat today.

So there is the Dirty Cow exploit that seems pretty pervasive and promising.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/security/dirty-cow-t3484879
EDIT: Nevermind I'm an idiot, I didn't realize the dates on dirty cow.
Question still stands though, do we know if there is anyone on the XZ Premium working on it?

I don't think so, there will be more involved ppl when XZ1 will be released, since it's the same specs

It's not possible anymore. You really need to unlock the bootloader in order to root. Something about patching the kernel.

I unlocked way before.It was free then. Then it was closed, for some reason. Now some one is offering to open the bootloader for a small fee. I dont know if its real or not. but you can try if you want to.

Any issues with Google pay for unlocked bootloader?

I have Tmobile Oneplus 8. I haven't unlocked the bootloader yet. Will I have any issues with Google pay with unlocked bootloader if I'm going to unlock it?
I'm using company secure email app on my phone as well. If I have any issues, will I be able to lock the bootloader?

I don't know about tmobile version. But i have unlocked bootloader + root on oos11 and google pay is working fine here

I'm trying stock with locked bootloader and no root for the first time in maybe 8 years, but I've always got everything to work. You tried hiding it in Magisk?

Wasn't sure if it's possible to unlock the bootloader while still being Sim locked. Thanks for letting me know, guess I'll wait till we find a way to sim unlock before doing the bootloader.

Once you pay off the phone. It can then be sim unlocked. The other way is to pay someone to sim unlock the phone.

Do not try to lock bootloader, it would brick your device

Understand, but is there a method to use google pay with unlocked bootloader and without root?

Apparently you are out of luck without root, but if you want to do one thing from relocking bootloader and rooting, rooting would be easier.
Also if you brick your device you would still have options if you have unlocked bootloader.
