No, there is no way to root without unlocking the bootloader. You must unlock the bootloader to root the phone.
Of course, unless you find and build a functional exploit which will allow you getting elevated priviledges with locked bootloader NSO Group probably has something at hand, but not sure that you'll be able to afford it.

What functional exploit? And is it like a closed beta?

You will never be able to root without unlocking the BL. Just forget this idea.

Also interested in knowing this since If you unlock bootloader you can't undo it and your warranty is basically gone forever?
So even if it's now possible to unlock the bootloader it's still not a very customer friendly version like it is on most other android phones? Didn't HTC get a lot of grief for basically the same thing and it ended with them making it possible and if I don't remember wrongly here they even provided a tool themselves so you could do it "legally"? Had a Wildfire before but it's been a while so I can be remembering this wrong. Isn't android supposed to be open source, seems kind of wrong to then use hardware locks that prevent you from actually modifying the software. But I guess that's a completely other discussion.
i had a wildfire s too. i was able to re-lock bootloader it was great. now i unlocked the L9. thought that icould revert it back. and if something happens, no warranty great

Cool Cool. Great.
But I still think unlocking opens new horizons for flawless use of custom rooms, recoveries, kernel experiments , etc. There is a thread saying Relocking is possible. Then why not unlock now?

I don't understand. Are you having a problem unlocking your bootloader. Or just don't want to, but want to flash your custom rom. without the bootloader being unlocked you will have to flash certing things like the kernel manually everytime you flash a rom.

Actually I've already unlocked and rooted using Outler/Radeklav's method, but I'd like to know for other people who have asked if it's possible to root, keep stock ROM and keep the bootloader unlocked for above vrajb phones. (I know you can do it for vrajb phones using the Exynos exploit.)

The only way to root only on VRAMC3 is with the Toolkit, there are mixed results with it though. Some say it works great and some say it doesn't work at all, in the end the people that just want root can try that and if it doesn't work they should just root and unlock the bootloader with CASUAL and if they don't want to mess with flashing they don't have to. There are really no downsides to having an unlocked boot loader aside from not being able to accept and install OTAs, that's a plus in my book though.

We don't have a pro dev for our phone.
So don't ask for roms, start developing by yourself.

Actually, we haven't unlocked the bootloader, but we have found a way to bypass the Secure Boot Check and, as a side effect, we also got access to fastboot commands.

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.

I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Even if we don;t get custom roms, I dam hope we get root at the least! Have you unlocked your bootloader?

Do we need an unlocked bootloader to root, or is an unlocked bootloader just for TWRP/custom roms?

no the bootloader already unlocks with 30 € the problem and do the root procedure!
"Normal" way of installing root on Pie is not working as ramdisk is now part of root fs (system).
So you will have to wait until TopJohnWu releases his workaround.
