Is there root yet on Device H8216 Xperia XZ 2? - General Questions and Answers

Hi I recently got the new Xperia XZ 2. I unlocked the bootloader but failed to root the phone after realising root has probably not been created yet for it or the apk root kits not updated to support it. So was just wondering is there anything out yet for it to be rooted?
Also I'm wanting to rid my handset of anything google but would that be risky? So far ive deleted the Google account most apps being from apk mirror

As I had first stated, on my previous post, that I don't have this device.
What I do know is that I've noticed that there's allot of individuals who are having issues with many (not all) of the Pixel and Xperia devices. Though, I've only noticed very few other avenues that had worked for some, I have noticed that a majority of them had turned to one (and had been fairly successful with) by using Magisk for Root and/or XPosed.
Please Note: I can't state that the following suggestion will or will not work for you since I have never owned a Google, Nexus nor Xperia device.
I did locate the following threads/posts regarding the Xperia XZ/XZ2 device that should be helpful for what you are looking for and don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within one of them.

Some of those threads/posts may not be your specific XZ2 but, they should apply to you as well. When, at all in doubt, post your question but, be a bit specific (I'm not stating that you should write out a short story/novel either LOL!).
In case you really need it, the following is the Magisk General Q&A thread for you to ask for some member guidance only if it goes unanswered elsewhere (though the XZ/XZ2 has been mentioned there as well).

Twrp
Hi again wanted to know something. I can't seem to find a TWRP that supports the Xperia XZ 2 was just wondering is there a general TWRP that supports most handsets?

There's no such "Universal" TWRP because TWRP has to be custom developed to work with a devices specific hardware (there's more to it but, that's the bottom line).
Take a look at the following threads. They do have some discussion regarding the an XZ2 Custom Recovery (ie... PhilZ, CWM, TWRP, etc...). Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance/clarification.

Need help with Flashtool

Hi! Noob here. First time flashing android phone. Just bought brand new Sony Xperia XZs with Taiwanese firmware. I just want to flash my phone with different region firmware and WITHOUT ROOT. I've read the manuals on how to do this. I'm using latest Flashtool app. My only concern is the "Wipe - Misc TA" options. Do I have to choose any of these options?:
CUST-RESET
MASTER-RESET
RESET-WIPE-REASON

BL file keeps failing to download using ODIN

Hello, i would really appreciate if someone give me a solution/s because i am running out of patience and options. i tried possibly everything i found and nothing works.
I have a S7, Model SM-G930W8 with Virgin Mobile Canadian version. This started when i tried to install the latest software update using ODIN. The BL file FAILS all the time. I tried using the other 3 files without BL and everything works, but with BL dont. I am 100 % sure that BL file is the problem because i tried in ODIN that file alone and it FAILED. Also i tried 6.0 Software and the same thing. Also Stock Firmware the same result. BL keeps failing on ODIN.
Please i really need help. thanks in advance to anyone for time and efforts

Thank you for replying to my issue. I already tried 2 of those links you have provided. Also posted my question to the last link, still waiting for any answer hopefully.
While i was trying to fix my phone today i notice that TWRP recovery was still there. I have no clue whatsoever how TWRP is still on my phone, because i have been formatting the phone so many times trying to fix the issue of BL file and never installed back the TWRP. Perhaps is the TWRP who is preventing the BL file being install on the phone. What's your guess ? do you have any good idea how to remove/ uninstall TWRP from my phone ? thanks again

Thanks to your HELP finally it worked. I was able to flash BL and CP files at first and then all 4 files together. Saying only thank you is very small compare to the big relief you have provided. Truly and Sincerely THANK YOU.
The last 2 things i will ask from you, as there are very unsafe methods out there:
1) How can i reverse safely to the STOCK Firmware, is there any specific procedure ?
2) Now the Phone is sitting on Nougat 7.0 version (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930W8/VMC/download/G930W8VLS3BRA2/205626/ ) which is the latest for my phone, Could you advise any safe method to root this version ?
thanks again for your time and efforts. all the best. peace

Problems with Android O

Since yesterday, when I got the upgrade to Android O (Moto Z2 Force) I've gotten some issues, it started with Spotify stoping half a second everytime I played a song but meh, it was okay just a little annoying. Then the voicenotes I sent through WhatsApp or facebook's messenger sounded like supressed (calls and videos are okay) and I also can't send videos through whatsapp. Tried doing a factory reset and still the same. Any ideas?
I'm thinking on downgrading back to Nougat
P.s. Sorry if this has already been answered, I couldn't find anything.
Here's an example of a WhatsApp voicenote
