Thank for answering, but Official tool gives me "An unknown error occurs, which may be a network connection issue, please wait and try again." message.Actually i cant install tool and i did it this with adb install command.But i cant get rid of that error with adb

Edit: Is downgrading android version can help ? (It is 6.0 now)

Depends on exactly what you want to do, if you just want to root and install twrp , there is a workaround by flashing a certain beta kernel ,its also android 6 , after flashing u can now install twrp without unlocking.

I don't know anything about custom roms , i can only tell you the way around to be able to install twrp without unlocking bootloader while still on android 6.

I have the SD410 8916 ZC550KL and I want to simply root the device. The bootloader unlocking tool doesn't work (probably on purpose). It is running 6.0.1 but I can downgrade to lollipop. Is it possible to root it? @jide1 please elaborate on this

Yes there is , bootloader will not be unlocked ,but you'll be able to install twrp and root if u choose.
