I'm sure you've already seen my answer in https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz1/help/how-to-root-xperia-xz1-unlock-bootloader-t3814906.
It is still impossible.

Can you guide me to root by UL and still retain the drmkey of sony?
I read about forum posts but I'm not very computer literate.
Thank you.
What you want is impossible, pain and simple. The ONLY way to root the phone is to unlock the bootloader and by doing that you WILL lose the DRM keys. There is no way of backing them up, you just keep it stock or you root, you choose.
Even if you take a second to look at the forum you'll see that the bounty for a root method without unlocking bootloader it losing DRM keys has never been claimed since it can't be achieved.

Since this question is going to be asked quite a lot of times over the coming few months, I wanted to make sure this question is addressed properly.
What all features are disabled once you unlock the bootloader on the Xperia Z2?
1) X-Reality is disabled. If you take the backup of the TA partition, you can restore it after re-locking the bootloader to enable this functionality.
2) Bionic image processor -- Not sure. I have read conflicting reports. I am looking for a *confirmed* answer here.
User inputs will be highly appreciated.

There is a patch to re-enable X-Reality with bootloader unlocked.
Presently, there is no way to backup TA partition.
Where is this patch.

Here
EDIT: no longer here, ask for it at @auras76
EDIT2: rom RomAur v3.1 and rom monxDIFIED v02-01 are two custom roms based on .402 with X-Reality enabled.
Have you got a link mate, I can't find it in that thread, or is it built in to the ROM.

So what happens to the camera functionality? isn't it affected?
X Reality isn't working for everyone on those ROMs, myself included, so be wary!

Thanks for your reply guys.
Does anyone know about the Bionic image processor being disabled as well? I will then compile everything to the OP and request a mod to make it a sticky

so practically that means rooting now will void the warranty forever?

Yes, but will they verify if the DRM keys are still present?

Hey,
What exactly do I loose when I unlock and root my device? Is is a train smash?
Regards,
I... Don't know what a train smash is, but on a typical phone, you lose nothing by rooting.
The Xperia Z2 is somewhat different in that, due to having no root exploits released so far, you must first unlock the bootloader and install a custom kernal in order to root. The process of unlocking wipes all data from the phone. Also, you'll lose your DRM keys, which are (arguably) not important, but will lose access to Sony Unlimited Video and Music, as well as void your warranty (but only if someone bothers to check it extensively, which likely they won't).

Are the DRM keys the only thing that is irreplaceable?
I wouldn't root this phone, as it is by far, my most faulty device I have ever had. Now I got my third device...

No issues here, and I'm on a rather dated firmware too (the .64 if I'm not mistaken).

DRM keys are lost yes. But they don't affect anything like on previous Sony devices. Bootloader unlocked and everything will work just as before.

Thanks guys.
Personally I don't want to root the phone cause the stock ROM is just fine for me. I need some suggestions to get alternatives to root apps like Titanium Backup, etc.

Guys, do you have any idea when or if it will be possible to root Xperia without unlocking bootloader?

This can happen any time. Just waiting for a Dev to find an exploit.
So tomorrow or maybe never. Who's to say?

If they get the TA Backup thing sorted for the Z2, will that mean that I can go ahead and root then restore to factory as if nothing happened?
Hi folks,
I've been trying some root guides here and read all threads I can find but none work.
Any suggestions?
I have a E2333 (16GB / dualsim) currently running 26.1.B.3.91. Want to root it without impacting camera quality (DRM).
Can anyone help me out? Do I need to downgrade first? What should I check/not check in flashtool if downgrade is needed?
Firmwares available are; 26.1.B.1.85 and 26.1.B.3.91.
Huge thanks in advance.
Try root with xperia root kit on .85 firmware, do backup drm, Flash latest firmware, unlock bl, Flash twrp and super su zip file and restore drm... I do this on my E2303 but i dont see worst quality in camera, already is bad

What I mean is, say I reverted back to Stock ROM ( which locks bootloader? ) and I just recently unlocked my device. Will it be unlocked immediately or they have cool down lile 1 week before you can unlock again yadda yadda.

You can unlock your device when you need without time limits . If you want to unlock another phone on the same account you must wait 30 days .

Hello! I have little question. When i unlock my divice i mean unlock bl and i back to stock rom. I will have ota update? Or nah? And camera will be work good? Or always green photo?

I don't know if you'll get OTA updates if you go back to locking the bootloader but you will DEFINITELY have green pictures because when you unlock the bootloader you lose the DRM keys forever.
Also, as a senior member, you are well aware that you shouldn't start q&a threads in this section. There's a dedicated forum for questions.
Soo green photo it's for bad for me... I need full working camera soo i stay on stock rom. Thx for help, and yep bad section. Sorry for this.

If you keep the phone unlocked you can install janjan's root solution and get full functionality of the phone back but it would just have an unlocked bootloader.
