Hello, is it possible to root phone with unlocked bootloader by installing twrp and just flashing supersu.zip? Or google changed something in android to prevent that ?
There is a thread where you can read about rooting and bootlaoder unlocking also flashing recovery, for Marshmallow

Hi guys,
So I have an Xperia Z2 running the rooted stock 4.4.4 firmware. I just did a Nandroid backup and am feeling adventurous. My bootloader is locked, as it's possible to root the Z2 without unlocking it. I found out about the CM12 nightly 5.0 ROM and was wondering, if I flash that through TWRP (which I currently have installed), do I have to unlock my bootloader? Or do I not since I'm already this far in without unlocking it? And I'm correct to assume if I restore my Nandroid backup that restores my old ROM right?
Hello, i am kind of lost in the forum and can't quite find what i'm searching for, so i figured i should ask around
Is there an option for Xperia Z2 d6503 to root it without installing dual recovery or any recovery, unlocking bootloader and so on,
just a simple root, for "admin" privileges...like from fastboot or through adb just coping SU binary
Thank you all in advance

It depends on what android version you have in your phone, if you're still on 4.4.2 you can root it using a simple exploit and it's done (this one for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900 )
If your phone is on android 4.4.4 or 5.0.2 you either:
1 - Downgrade to 4.4.2 , root, install dual recovery and upgrade to a prerooted 4.4.4 or 5.0.2 .zip firmware (no need to unlock bootloader)
2 - Unlock your bootloader (and lose your DRM keys) flash a kernel with recovery and flash supersu in recovery.
All is in the title. My bootloader is officialy unlocked but I can't find a way to install a custom recovery and to root the last Marshmallow Beta rom. Any help?

If you flash the fastboot rom with miflash , you can do everything like before. Otherwise, this is the guide-

@ybregeon2016 were you successful on rooting and twrp? What method did uou use and which twrp did you install? Thr number of different versions and the overly complicated methods are too confusing...
Thanks in advance

Flashing miui8 6.9.9 MM relocked my bootloader,so i suggest to check whether your bootloader got relocked again or not.
If its locked unlock it via mi unlock tool.
I am using alka twrp , and rooted my rom by flashing supersu zip from twrp.
To install twrp i used fastboot commands.
Hey guys.
There is any way to root Honor without installing twrp recovery. My bootloader is locked, and don't want to unlock.
