So there you have it. Unless we boycott so their development team makes the unlock bootloader tool for the ultra, there will never be root.

This claims to be able to root (without unlocking bootloader) through Super-Root:

Don't have the device, so can't try.
As far as my outdated knowledge goes, root with locked bootloader is possible, but install custom recovery isn't, but with root you can at least use TB and an adblocker.

Can anyone confirm that this works? Will it stop OTA updates? Would you be able to install Xposed?
Thank you for your post. But as for me, Since you can do more with the bootloader being unlocked, I will be patient awhile longer to see what happens with this issue on the Asus Ultra....
As a side note many of the sites that claim to have unlocked bootloader and/or root for the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra, you have to jump thru hoops to get to the actual site. For instance the kidapso.com site you have to fill out your information for receiving some product of various types, whether signing up for a gift card or something else. Then you actually have to agree to giving up your privacy by agreeing to allowing multiple vendors contact you by phone(in small print), even if you are on a national registry not to be contacted by sales persons or ads before you are even allowed to the site that supplies the actual info for unlocking the bootloader. So I don't even know if the information is legit, because I'm personally not going to agree to the above. As mentioned, I will be patient awhile longer while waiting for more information on the subject of the unlocked bootloader for the Ultra
No worries, thanks for looking. It's a shame that there are so many fake sites.....
this site claims to give you root
---REMOVED---
but it smells of being a trap to install malware as there's no evidence of it working, so I would counsel against following those instructions unless you're a real expert.
