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.

If it says bootloader unlock not allowed , then i doubt there is a safe way to unlock it.
Nearly every method to unlock such a bootloader are shown only for 2011 devices and i have heard 2012 devices have been patched to stop an unlock by that method.
Also those methods involve certain hardware modifications using bare wires and finding the debug port.
Such methods are highly risky and may damage your phone.

Yes you can root without unlocked bootloader, Framaroot worked without any issues for me, and i don't see any reason why it shouldn't work for you.

You can install Stock based custom ROMs without a unlocked bootloader.
This might help : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2237164
And regarding Non-stock based custom ROMs and overclocking, they are kernel mods and to flash a new kernel you need an unlocked bootloader, sorry

If you want to use the currently-available root, you would need to unlock the bootloader.
OK so I unlocked it can I take the ota and it will stay unlocked

Yes, you're going to have to unroot before you can take the OTA but it will not relock the bootloader at this time.

I know your pain.
Thanks guys appreciate it
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

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.

You should now lock the bootloader for security...

Simple, it allows anyone with physical access to your phone the ability to flash basically anything on it. That said, Ive unlocked every device Ive owned immediately after getting it.
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?

You can, with msm tool, it relocks bootloader and factory resets everything to stock.
