Hi,
Is there a way to flash radio, bootloader and stock ROM without using fastboot? Basically systemless flashing?

Do you mean on your phone without the need for a PC? If so use flashfire.

Hey I don't have s off. But I have a problem with updating my root binaries. If I were to flash a stock 4.3 Rom would I need to have s off first ? I tried using a Rom last time and it didn't finishing installing. So I bricked. Sorry. I'm sort of a noob about some things.

your phone was not bricked ...you had a windows 8.1 pc and could not fix it that's all.
S-off gives you the ability to flash firmware and RUU for any version including downgrading. You don't need s-off to just flash roms.

So what could I have done? My phone wouldn't go past the boot screen

I know I have a bootloader that's unlockable but I'm reading some strange stuff about recoveries on this phone.
Is there a reoccurring recovery installation needed after installing a ROM every time? Does that only apply to locked bootloaders?
I was trying to install TWRP since I favor that one over CWM but when trying to install it from their Google Play App it says the image is missing and redirects me to another link which pretty much stays at the 0% progress...
On previous phones I've had things seemed a bit easier (Note3, GS4, Note) or maybe I'm just to cautious since the phone is so new... Anyway I'd appreciate any help on the matters.

Ok so with xperias they do not have a native partition for the recovery
This means that they have to be stored within a custom kernel (if your bootloader is unlockable) or your system if your bootloader isnt unlockable
Recovery installer scripts that work on locked bootloaders usualy put the recovery file within your system hence why when flashing a custom rom it disapears
Flashing a custom kernel (with a unlocked bootloader) alows you to freely flash custom roms as the recovery is a part of the kernel and not the system

Ah so if I unlock my bootloader and if I keep the same modified kernel then I'll be OK. But I don't know too many ROMs that are going to come without a kernel...
Probably could edit the install script to skip kernel writes...?

If you unlock your bootloader
Install a kernel that contains a recovery
Then yes your recovery stays after a rom flash
Stock based roms should not come with a kernel
Non stock based roms have to come with a kernel (usualy contain recovery anyway)
Your warrenty is void unlocking your bootloader however you can relock
I recomend you read up about bootloader unlocking

Is there anyway I can get systemless root on mm .575? It'd be great if someone can guide me through.

Only through custom kernel and unlocked bootloader.

You should Downgrade To 5.1.1
And Do root vith King Root
And instal Nut Dual Recovery
Then You should Build A Rooted Rom with PRF Creator And install in Recovery
Or Download A Rooted Rom from Other Topics And install in Recovery
If You Go to Unlock Bootloader
Xreality And Bionz Of Camera Was be disabled Forever.

But OP is asking for Systemless root.
Your method is not Systemless. It's simply about getting root using Prerooted firmware which uses system root method.
If you were to use systemless root on unlocked bl, Would you be able to get android pay working or would it still reject it?

That's what it is all about. I want systemless xposed but it's not working in my Z2 and people have suggested that I try getting systemless root then try flashing systemless xposed, I've tried a lot of stuff but after flashing systemless xposed framework, it just reboots normally and doesn't works as it patches boot.img and idk there's something with it that's not working on Z2 .575 mm
So I just wanted to know.
And yes you can use android/google pay with SYSTEMLESS XPOSED which you can find Here
It's not necessary to have systemless root for this. You can simply flash it and use materialistic xposed installer.

Awesome that sounds good. So just to confirm, does android pay work for you now? Can you add a new payment method?
Thanks for the info!

That should do it
So I have to ship my phone out to T-Mobile. I honestly don't know how they feel about unlocked bootloaders, custom ROMs, custom recovery, and root. So my mission is to revert everything back to stock as soon as possible. I need to relock the bootloader, flash my stock recovery, and the stock rom as well. Any help to achieve this would be great.
I'm currently on 6.0, rooted, with TWRP. Thanks in advance!

Using this thread to just flash the stock 6.0 KDZ file, and doing fastboot oem lock in the bootloader should do the trick. Obviously you don't wanna do the whole guide, just the KDZ part.

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
