Rooting android 7.1.1 December 2017 security update without bootloader unlock (kbin.social)

Hello, I am trying to temp-root my Motorola DROID MAXX 2, and I can not unlock the bootloader. I want to temp root so I can overwrite the bootloader with my own, unlockable version. Does anyone know of a temp root that would work? I have already tried dirtycow, RockMyMoto, and PwnMyMoto.

You'll find better information and guides on XDA forums. Here is your phones sub-forum. https://forum.xda-developers.com/c/motorola-droid-maxx-2.4868/

Thanks, but I already posted on XDA. I posted here to see if I could get anything here. I posted it on the Moto X Play forum though, because it's more active and from what I can tell the droid maxx 2 is a rebranded Moto X Play. The codenames are even the same!
