Is it possible to root without unlockbootloader ? - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

Can I root with stock rom without unlock bootloader ?
Is it possible to use OTA update when I rooted ?
As far as I know some camera function, DRM keys and warranty will be gone if I unlock bootloader.
Some people told me to flash AndroPlusKernel to make camera work again.
I'm still don't fully understand about how AndroPlusKernel work, I've tried to go to their main website but I can't seem to find any explanation there.
Can anybody please explain it to me or please tell me where can I find some more information about this ?
Thank you.

In what order do I flash/relock to get OTA? Please Help

Hello!
I bought a phone, with unlocked bootloader and root. Z3 D6603
I dont know exactly how the previous owner unlocked BL etc.
But I flashed it to 23.1.A.1.28 lolli, fixed super SU and dualrecovery.
The thing is, I now want to return it to stock, so that i can get OTA updates by Sony Companion, and i have no idea how to do so.
Searched the forums, and found a lot of info, but I dont want to brick or ruin anything.
Do I need to flash stock firmware without root, remove dualrecovery or relock BL, or maybe all of it?
I posted this earlier, and im not sure if I explained it right, I said I wanted a step by step guide.
What I meant was a guideline in what ORDER to do stuff, not how to do them.
Is it enough to relock the bootloader, and then use Sony Companion to update, or do I need to flash something, maybe go back to original recovery first?
Help is sincerely appreciated !
PS: Sorry for posting again, but I dont know how to change the headline/bump the post, and need this done ASAP, or else I wont have a working phone in a few days. ( Change of sim card)

Please? Anyone?

Nothing. If it is unlocked and you dont have backup of original TA partition. There is no help. You can't get you DRM keys back and without them you cant relock to original state. And majority of Sony stock fw simply doesnt provide OTA for unlocked bootloaders, except for the new Sony Concept ROM.
You may try to download Androxyde Flashtool as it provides relock function, however it doesnt restore TA. If it brings OTA back not sure, because I always backup my TA so just try it.

Xperia z3 d6633 23.5.a.1.291 (dual sim)(help)

So basically I want to root my phone.
As mentioned in the title above, this phone of mine exists nowhere as per MY knowledge in being root-able.
This phone was able to be rooted in lower versions. Now I don't think it exists.
1) THE OFFICIAL SONY SITE, won't let me unlock the bootloader.
2) Without unlocking the bootloader I THINK I won't be able to flash a custom ROM.
3) I need help with this.
-Unlocking the bootloader.
-Rooting it
-Getting the best custom rom
-MAYBE being able to use Nougat.
So can anyone on this website kindly help me?
I am a noob and am pretty new, so my knowledge is low, but I am looking forward to root this device now.
Regards

[Completed] [Desire U t327e] couldn't unlock bootloader & stop at hboot

I've no idea how this phone became a brick,
since it's unroot, s-on and the bootloader is locked ,too.
All was modified by my cousin,
and she doesn't know how to fix it.
I've tried to unlock bootloader, but I couldn't agree to unlock it,
every time I tried to choose Yes, the phone didn't reply.
However, if I choose No, it simply reboot to hboot mode.
Because of that, I guess I couldn't flash custom rom.
So, I think the only way to fix it is to find RUU or OTA or stock_rom.img ,
but I couldn't find them.
The only thing I found is the source code from htcdev.com.
link: dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/primominiu-ics-3.0.16-40ba5ce.zip
Is there anyone who knows where to find them,
or any other way to fix it? (any system platforms are welcomed)

Bootloader unlock

So I found a tool on needrom.com in the vivo section called "vivo bootloader unlocker". Has anyone tried this and can tell me wether it works? I sadly cannot provide a link to it as I have too few posts on here but it shoould be easy to find.
Also, if noone has tried it yet but someone happens to know a lot about the process of unlocking a bootloader, can that person tell me wether it is safe to try using this tool? Thanks in advance!
This phone never unlock bootloader.

How can I root my device?

I have a Z5 (latest software version) and simply want to root my device. How can I do it in the easiest and safest way? I have experience with rooting my Xperia Are S (device from 2011) but with the z5 it seems to be way to complicated and different.
I was reading about "DRM keys", what's that, is it important to save?
Furthermore, is it necessary to unlock my bootloader in order to get root? If yes: How can I do that? It's currently locked and I haven't found a way to unlock it.
After rooting, can I flash custom Roms aswell (like lineage with android oreo)?
I have the same problem. I have tried fastboot to unlock the bootloader but it does not detect the device.
Would we have to roll back our firmware to a working version? If so, how could we install this firmware, and which firmware would be the correct version to install?
ps Hadoujamal, if you find a solution please let me know.
