I bought my xperia s on march and I was planning to customize it with awesome roms and applications that are available only when rooted
Unfortunately it is sad that root is available only if I unlock its bootloader, I don't want my phone to be unlocked and make it unrecognized by pc companion are SEUS
I have used xperia x8 earlier it had root without unlocking but I hated its hardware which doesn't support most applications
And I don't wish to try new kernels as they will promote jellybean in future if so I will unlock my phone when it releases with no flaws
Will there be any way that I can root my xperia without unlocking?

Not at the moment. You can re-lock the bootloader if you need to use SEUS etc
Impossible, search, thread reported.

May be when jellybean is out I will try to unlock

Hi guys!
My Xperia Z Ultra is on the 4.4.2 firmware, but I want to go back to the 4.3.. Can I go back without unlocking the bootloader? Does it work just flash the 4.3 firmware or do I have to unlock the BL?
Thanks.
You can flash 4.3 using flashtool. You don't need an unlocked bootloader. However, you may have to check "wipe data" for this to work.

I need some help to install recovery of my rooted Sony Xperia Tablet Z SGP 321. I am currently running build 10.5.A.0.230 and I think the bootloader is still locked. I have rooted using towelroot. And I want to continue with stock rom but need a recovery for this. Any help or link please.

Use Nut's XZDualRecovery
Today there is a notification for system update from Sony. Can I update after root?

yes you can, but 95% you will loose root after that. But nothing prevents you from rooting again with towelroot or Easy Root Tool (which is better).
IS there a way to install the cyanogenmod onto my Sony Xperia Z2 with a locked bootloader? The phone is rooted and has TeamWinRecovery but I just wanted to know if there is a way to put cyanogenmod on it since it is an unlockable bootloader... Thanks for your help
No.
Unless someone can figure out sonys FBI lvl encryption and crack the bootloader we wont have anything but stock on a locked bootloader
Ya I've seen that a few times online but you can put custom roms on an xperia z2 with a locked bootloader because I have had existenz ultimate on my phone with the bootloader locked.

There is a difference between stock based custom and custom
Custom roms arent based on the stock rom hence they need a custom kernel to run and you cant flash a custom kernel on a locked bootloader
Stock based roms you can flash becsuse they use the stock kernel
Simple as.
Oh ok I see what your saying thanks for the info. Appreciate it.

Friends, I need a lot of help from you. I have the E2363 mode (Android 6.0.1)l and would like a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. As I do not have knowledge to make a firmware with root, someone could make and deliver for me to do the flash by flashtools? Thank you very much in advance!

Yes, if it's Marshmallow based Rom, you would still need unlocked bootloader.
the focus is wrong > it should be to make it possible to obtain recovery first

Sounds like your doing something wrong then You don't make the Pre-rooted zip for mm the same way as you do for lollipop and when downgrading/upgrading firmware you MUST wipe clean the device to avoid bootloop. Lollipop uses ftf, supersu and recovery.
Mm pre-rooted zip uses ftf, a dummy supersu zip and dummy recovery.
I know you can get rooted mm with locked Bootloader doing it that way as there's z3 and others using this way to get root on mm without unlocking the Bootloader. Unlocking the Bootloader to root mm is only a absolute requirement if your device has dm-verity security which the M4 aqua doesn't use.

I tried it in may ways like cleaning cache and wiping data but neither way pre rooted zip works with mm
Better bet is to upgrade > unlock bl > root
