Root access - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

hello to all of you,
So i know there are probably many threads about this, but i just cant get my xz premium rooted. i've been trying for a while now.
Last time i rooted a phone was in the windows mobile 6 time lol.
So i tried to unlock the bootloader with the official sony guide on their site bit it didnt work.
i tried some apps like kingroot and oneclickroot but i quickly found that kingroot only gets adware on my phone and oneclickroot is payed and hell i aint paying for nothing.
I tried some manual methods but also these i cant get to work.
So is there any simple thread on how to root my xz premium ?
side note:
my volume up button is broken but i still got it into fastboot so i got this far.
thanks in advantage.

Possible root for my XT1080?

I updated to the latest version a few weeks ago, I am on 4.4.4 SU6-7.7. I am wondering if there is any possible root methods working for this update, or do I need to flash my device to a lower firmware then go from there?

Nope... I honestly doubt I will EVER get to find a root my phone. According to some people, it's nearly impossible.
I also gave up, is there a way to use xposed without root?
Never update...
Just do what everyone else does.. Download KingRoot app and keep checking back momentarily. No root = NO XPOSED
Download SunShine from theroot.ninja and check eligibility. If compatible, pay $25 - or not. Good luck to you

Rooting Pixel, any drawbacks or missing features since its still 'new/beta'

So I just finally received my phone and of course want to root it and switch over from my htc one m7.
are there any features of rooting that still are in the process of being worked out?
main concern does titanium backup work fully

Titanium Backup works fine. Any apps that use SafetyNet(Android Pay, Snapchat, etc) won't work once you unlock your bootloader/root.

is there a list of the most common SafetyNet apps? I use neither of the two you listed. I just know pkmn go doesnt work but any others or you have a link to the list?

Snapchat, and most banking apps. Except simple and chase that I know of.
There are still tons of warnings of permanent bad things happening if you relock the bootloader without stock software installed. I know no details but I recommend you research that first before starting anything.
What if you just root to modify the hosts file, then into it and lock? Seems like that should be fine
I know one workaround for Snapchat used to be unlocking the bootloader, installing the app and logging in, then rooting. Any word on if that still applies? I'm using a 2014 Moto X still on Lollipop, so I'm afraid I'm a touch out of the loop.

Test and find out if you still get yellow warning at boot. If no warning... Maybe you won't be potentially bricked by red lockout if you lock.
If you you see yellow warning, certainly that is not fine.

Apparently, as I've been informed, to lock the BL again, you will have to do a wipe, so no good.
Just flash a custom kernel, they bypass the bootloader unlock check for safetynet. Doesnt' help you with root though
Yeah, I might end up doing that. So SafetyNet detects systemless root now?

So either one of the 2 kernel's listed here will bypass the bootloader unlock check which will make Android Pay work?

Any issues from using that kernel? I am hoping for stock or better than stock.

Awesome. I might give it a shot then.
Is there a way to get root without resetting the phone? I am told if you the supported BL unlock, it wipes you.

Did you have to enable something to make AP work after loading that kernel? It isn't working for me.

do we have to use systemless root on android 6.0.1?

before 2 months ago i have been out of the modern android scene for a while. so now i'am on android 6.0.1 on my xiaomi redmi 3s. my bootloader is unlocked and im on us global dev.
i have been been struggling to keep up root. i dont like the fact that i have to clean install whenever a update comes for my phone because my phone will not allow OTA to a phone that system modded.
but at the same time not every app i use supports systemless rooting.
my issue is that with system root i cant do OTA'S and whenever a update comes i have to re root.
but on the systemless method not all apps support the systemless mode root.
also it seems that the system mode root works on some occasions, sometime it says systemless mode and sometimes it says system mode.

Don't update just in case theres a new bootloader in oreo.

Question Banking app not working (root detected)

Hello!
I was having trouble with my banking app because root was detected.
I changed to PixelExperiencePlus a while back and the banking app was working fine until I did an OTA update. Then it detected my device was rooted and stopped working. I tried to search the forums but I couldn't filter only results from this Poco forum. Could anybody help me as to what I should do or link me to a proper article?
I don't have Magisk installed by the way.
its really not a good idea to run your money accounts and stuff on rooted or unlocked phones its really bad idea anyway

You have to install Magisk and hide the root for your banking app.
