Not at this moment no, but it appears that a pre-rooted zip isn't far off.

This rooting method doesn't work on latest 4.4.4 for Z2
Sent from my D6503
Is it the latest 4.4.4 for Z2? And is it pre rooted? Which means can I flash this on my locked Z2?

Please, let me know when it will be possible to ROOT 23.0.1.A.0.167 Stock fw with locked bootloader. I will be very grateful.

You will likely be waiting some time, because it's possible to downgrade and flash pre-rooted zip or to OTA certain FW's maintaining root, I don't see devs putting a lot of effort into finding an exploit. That said best hope is probably an exploit being found for Z3 which is transferable to Z2, but as I say you may be waiting some time.
So what you recommend to do if i want to have root on 167?

Try to create a rooted update package from the update ftf: [4.4.4] Create ROOTED update package from stock FTF [LOCKED BOOTLOADER]
So I need to flash dual recovery to do that
How can I make a full stock backup just in case I need to use it for warranty?

You don't need, you can flash back an original ftf anytime or repair with Sony PC Companion. We are talking locked bootloadr, so until you don't unlock it, you have warranty.
But if you already have root on prev. firmware, you should install DualRecovery and boot into TWRP and you can backup your system there.

I just bought the phone and I really miss root hehe so if I don't unlock the bootloader I can change recovery and flash a stock root rom without losing warranty?

Yes, if you have older firmware on the phone, you can try the root options available and you can use recovery without unlocking th bootloader. If you have the latest, than you can possibly flash an older firmware to your phone and root that. But you need to read a bit, to understand everything correctly.

You do not need to downgrade, follow the guide to install TWRP after unlocking your bootloader and you are ready to flash anything you want.

You have to use the correct boot.img file
The boot file and the firmware should be of the same version
I downloaded here in xda a rootkit that there says is for my version but it didn´t work for my phone. just like previous user i have the F3213.

Have you tried Odin to do the flashing? While not the same device, I have rooted my SM-A526B without TWRP by patching the boot image with Magisk and then copying over the patched boot.img file to a computer, then finally flashed it over using Odin.
I have played with TWRP and Odin in the past with other phones; But I don't feel comfortable experimenting with this phone since it's my only source of work right know. After the process is proved ok by other people with the exact same model as mine, I can't risk experimenting like I have done other times.

This won't work on Samsung "U" variant phones because of their locked bootloader. Once you modify boot.img with Magisk, the phone will automatically detect it as custom firmware and it won't allow it to be flashed because of locked BL.

Is there any one click rooting tools that work with Android 9 - 11? Preferably 10 - 11. I want to root my droid (I have an AT&T LG G8 Thinq) and I don't want to unlock my bootloader. Please don't say "C'mon dude just unlock your bootloader", I'm looking for an actual answer(s) here. Spyware or not. By one click root tool I mean something like a tool that you can press a or a few buttons and it roots your handset. Yes I'm aware many of great old ones are spyware.

Because it's less secure and someone can flash whatever they want if they get my handset.

Can't someone just flash TWRP or something else and take a looksee in ALL my files? Or flash something to bypass the lockscreen?
If I could bootloader lock it while having TWRP and Lineage OS that'd be GREAT, but unfortunately we don't have the signatures for that ) :

It is possible to have LinageOS with a locked bootloader. You can relock it and revert back to stock recovery, so people can not flash anything to bypass your lock screen. This is very common for OnePlus devices. You can sell it and buy a OnePlus, throw your phone.
For example:

No, you just need a OnePlus device. OnePlus allows a self-signed signature, you can generate it yourself, and no leak is required.

Only works with some OnePlus devices. You can sign your ROM with your self-signed certificate. You can modify your ROM to whatever you want(including root) then just sign it, flash it, and re-lock. The bootloader now checks your self-signed certificate.
I don't think your needs can be fulfilled with your current device, maybe you have to sell your device.

So basically with a OnePlus I could just flash whatever I want and relock as long as the ROM is flashed LAST?
Also what's so hard about getting a signature? Why can't someone just pull it from the existing stockROM and put it on a their own ROM, so they can relock an Xperia or LG or something with a custom ROM?

You can not simply use the prebuilt ROM downloaded from somewhere and re-lock, it will not work because it is not signed with your self-signed key.

lol, impossible. If what you said is possible, then SSL will be a piece of * because everyone can pull the signature simply by visiting a site. You need to learn what is "private key" and "public key". You need a "private key" to sign a thing and that private key is secret.
OK, so the solution is... Break into LG headquarters and obtain the key signatures and spread'em all for the world to see!
