You need to unlock it.
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot recovery recovery.img
boot to recovery then flash su or supersu
That's it. Pretty much like any Nexus S guide.

Rooting the .14 firmware

Do i really have to unlock bootloader to root it? If yes, can i relock it afterwards?

Yes, make sure to backup your TA first, otherwise you can't relock it again.

You need not unlockbootloader just to root, but if you are changing kernels..then you should unlock

no need to unlock
Here you can find how to root .14 simply with no unlocked bootloader required
tested by me and work perfectly

Locked Bootloader Recovery?

Hey! My Z5 is new and I don`t want to unlock the bootloader right now. It`s factory new, so Android 6.0.1 (E6653_32.2.A.0.305) is clean. no root, no superuser etc.
is there a way to root and install the twrp recovery without unlocking the bootloader?

You can root without unlocking the bootloader, but in order to install a custom recovery you have to unlock the bootloader.
For more information on rooting and unlocking the bootloader, see this thread:

You need to follow parts 1, 2, & 3 to downgrade your firmware, then you can root with iovyroot. It wasn't spelled out in the thread I linked to (sorry about that) but you'll need to go to the iovyroot thread and follow the steps there to root your phone.
Can I ask why you don't want to unlock the bootloader?

Can I root without unlocking my boot loader?

Is there a way to just root your phone without unlocking your boot loader? I just want to simply root and install some apps that require root but that is it.
Thanks...

I'm pretty sure that you need to unlock your bootloader first.
Not sure if you can unlock - root - relock ??

I think this is not possible yet without unlocking the bootloader.

Once you unlock and relock your bootloader, its status will be relocked, so your warranty is void anyways.

So I have to unlock the boot loader first. Dam I assume that is on the difficult side of things as well...

If you want the status to show "locked" and not relocked to get your warranty back, you can use the downgrade package from nougat to marshmallow and flash stock B131.
I managed to relock my bootloader using this method : my fastboot screen says "locked" (and not "relocked")

Wait for kingroot method. No need to unlocking bootloader to root, people do it because its only one way to have root on honor 8 now - by flashing supersu in twrp, and twrp/modified recovery you can flash only if you unlocked your bootloader first.
