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..
Greetings,this is my first question here and I would like to seek some help.
I want to root my Moto E2 Xt1506.I used Kingo root to root my earlier 2 phones-both were Samsung.However,this isn't working on Mototrola,it throws root failed.
On searching Internet I found that every guide suggests unlocking bootloader first and then rooting.However,I do not wish to do so.I just want to root and get access to the data folder.
If it is possible,please guide me up and if unlocking bootloader is neccessary,I would like to get the link of the simplest guide available on Internet.
Thank you for any assistance.
There is no known way to get full, permanent root without unlocking the bootloader.

Wondering if there has been any updates to this. I've got a Moto E LTE that's AT&T branded (GoPhone). The bootloader cannot be unlocked on this phone. But I was wondering if there was a way to get root on the device without unlocking the bootloader.

Nope.
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.
how can I to unlock the bootloader?
