Im wondering if its possible to enable multi-window on this tablet now that marshmallow has released. I know its most likely possible on unlocked bootloader with root but i was wondering if the same could be possible for locked bootloader?
Here's a link if it helps:

No, build.prop edits need root or a custom recovery from which you can edit build.prop on the system partition:

You'll either need root or a custom recovery to do this, but as not everyone wants root, here's how you do it with TWRP [...]
It'll be interesting to see how this will function on the Z4T :)

I thought so damn although I did notice a recovery boot file in the system folder no idea if there's an actual recovery but I don't think I can access it anyway. If only sony provided us with a stock recovery like other OEMs. Seeing this feature on the Z4T I'm sure will be great. I thought it might have been possible to pull the build.prop without recovery using adb but I guess not. If only there was root on locked BL...?

Yes, if only. Maybe this fresh MM ROM has some vulnerability that can be exploited to gain root. But knowing Sony’s extensive, custom countermeasures, I think chances are very slim.

Just unlock your bootloader and fully enjoy this tablet :)

Haha lol I could do that but I'm worried about warranty cus I've been having WiFi issues that come and go I plan to unlock my BL after 2 years when warranty runs out so next year.
