If it says
Bootlocker unlock allowed: No, there is nothing you can really do
Newbie at this, but i've read several of the threads on here from start to finish to try to figure out how to Root my phone.
E2306 on Marshmallow
File system version 26.3.A.0.131
Either i'm getting mixed info, or just getting myself confused, but I'm not clear whether or not it's possible to root the E2306 when it says Bootloader unlocked: not allowed.
I saw an old thread saying it was possible with Lollipop [link here].
If it's not possible to do with Marshmallow on E2306, can I flash Lollipop onto the phone (as an example, or any other firmware recommended) to be able to either get the Bootloader unlocked allowed, or just to straight up root the phone.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Flashing other firmware will not give you to unlock your bootloader if it's bootloader unlock allow: NO.
You can downgrad to lolipop and then root. There is no yet easy way to root on Marshmallow on locked bootloader. Some guy wrote some explanation about, how to root on locked bootloader, but it's not easy if you are a newbie, and for a lot of people it doesn't seem to work. I also tried, and i ended in bootloop. Maybe i did something wrong, or who knows. I don't have time for testing and trying, because i work a lot.

Forget my previous message. I successfully downgraded to Lollipop 5.0 and it is working fine.
Now, the link for the rootkit for Lollipop 5.0 E2306 appears to be unavailable
I found 2 threads which included this file (see below) but the links to the rootkit indicate that the account has too many downloads against it and has been temporarily disabled (https://www.dropbox.com/s/edse0h6b02...E23xx.zip?dl=0) [it appears to be cubeandcube's account.

Would anyone be able to upload a copy of the old rootkit for Lollipop 5.0 for the E2306?
Please and thanks.

Can't find it now, but here is this comment. About the same thing, but with less details. Still, it can help, you just need to do a little research.
"Downgrade to lollipop, root, make pre-rooted MM zip with Prf creator, and flash it via recovery. Hey, presto rooted mm with locked Bootloader.

Okay thanks dude
Bump, the Lollipop rootkit for E2306 is unavailable for download at https://www.dropbox.com/s/8icz6059kt3ztws/rootkitXperia_E2363_26.1.B.1.85.zip?dl=0
(says too much traffic on the account, so dl is disabled)
Does anyone still have a copy of the Lollipop E2306 rootkit from cubeandcube? I tried a couple other methods to root the phone and they're not working.
How do i know if the phones bootloader is locked or unlocked? Im using a lg d618. Any tips on the quickest way to install twrp? I read that its best to root then use flashify to put Twrp on the phone.

Allright.
A Phone always comes with a locked bootloader so if you don't unlocked it yourself it is still locked.
To flash twrp you will need a unlocked bootloader and to unlock a bootloader you need rootacess.
I used the app rlashr to flash twrp and boot in recovery. Don't forget to type 'su' in a terminal before you use it (at the guide how to unlock a bootloader)
This guide tells you how to do everything:
(Follow these steps: root -> bootloader-> recovery(twrp))

Good luck!

If you look at the bootloader thread, you'll see exactly what version you can use to unlock etc.
