it is possible now??
If you have an unlocked bootloader, yes.
Otherwise you'll have to wait till someone comes up with a root method which could take a lot of time or no time at all.
On the same boat. I haven't unlocked the bootloader and I intend to keep avoiding it, so I'm waiting for someone to come up with rootkit or root method before flashing marshmallow.

Is there a way to unlock bootloader and relock it if I'm not that satisfied with the ROMs. What I mean with relocking is like it's back to stock bootloader. Thanks!

Rooting the phone has nothing to do with bootloader(locked or unlocked)...just visit the link given by predator or visit here.

If you want to install a kernel like lupus, first you need to unlock your bootloader. Use this tool to unlock it.

The risk of brick your device, but a lot of people already unlocked their bootloaders without any problems, your DRM will be permanently deleted, but believe me you can get more from your phone when the bootloader is unlocked, really worth it.

And you loose your warranty
Drm won't be lost if you unlock using testpoint method.

First check the bootloader status.whether its unlocked or not.
If its already unlocked then you can flash any custom kernel.If not you have to unlock BL first.Its not harmful but it will avoid your phone warranty.Try to use SE web site to unlock BL.Its the safest way..
After unlocking BT u can flash kernels anytime using Flash tool™..
Re:How to install a kernel
To install a custom kernel,you have to unlock your bootloader and there are two ways of doing it:
1.Use the official sony method...
head to unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and follow the procedure there..
by doing so you lose your DRM keys which means services like track id wont work anymore...
2.use a testpoint method which is a bit complicated but you retain your DRM keys
for the testpoint method check this out

Bootloader unlocking should be done carefully,you might brick your phone if you are not careful..
after the unlock is complete you can use flashtool to flash a custom kernel in fastboot mode..

I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Even if we don;t get custom roms, I dam hope we get root at the least! Have you unlocked your bootloader?

Do we need an unlocked bootloader to root, or is an unlocked bootloader just for TWRP/custom roms?

no the bootloader already unlocks with 30 € the problem and do the root procedure!
"Normal" way of installing root on Pie is not working as ramdisk is now part of root fs (system).
So you will have to wait until TopJohnWu releases his workaround.

No, there is no way to root without unlocking the bootloader. You must unlock the bootloader to root the phone.
Of course, unless you find and build a functional exploit which will allow you getting elevated priviledges with locked bootloader NSO Group probably has something at hand, but not sure that you'll be able to afford it.

You will never be able to root without unlocking the BL. Just forget this idea.
