Hi,

I got a unlocked bootloader. But I can't seem to get the phone rooted due to the fact that my PC won't detect it after I had send the command "adb reboot-bootloader" it would turn itself off, and a blank screen with the blue notification light appears and my comp makes a beep sound a few times. ADB works fine when the phone is turned on. I have download sony companion thinking it would had been USB issues. :crying: Really hoping to get the phone rooted asap.

Screenshot :
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] munjeni:
Your bootloader is not unlocked since status say "bootloader unlocking allowed: yes"! When you unlock bootloader status will say: "bootloader unlocked: yes" which mean only than you can use fastboot flash boot command!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] munjeni:
Yes its not working, I got log by pm. Last line of the log is "i have a client like hookers" and nothing from futex :(
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] AJHutchinson:
o2 haven't allowed you to unlock the bootloader since the first Xperia Z, kind of annoying but I suppose it's not all that bad as root for LB on this device will be worked around eventually :)

My Z3Dual status:

Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes.

In this case, if I root it, will like affect functionality like the DRM-protected image processing low-light camera performance?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] iBuzman:
^^ Post #119 worth a read.. To answer, if you root without ta partition backup you will (most likely) never get back DRM key specific features.

Hello everyone

I'm a noob with Android phones :angel:

I always had the iPhone, and now I've bought a Xperia Z3 :cowboy:

Can someone be nice and make a video with this root

please please please

I will be grateful for you :good:

root without unlock bootloader

Well I've got a Z3 coming in as replacement for my HTC One m7

My M7 was rooted and running on ARHD rom, was really nice.

I hope you guys will find a way to Root without unlocking the bootloader soon, going to suck quite a bit not to be able to

recover my app data with Titanium Backup :/

is it because the phone is quite new that not much people are working on it? or not many interested to work on the Xperia's?

Hope I didn't make a wrong purchase :p
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Fruktsallad:
I'm longing for root too, but in the meantime you can backup and transfer your apps without root using Helium. ?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] GhostLeader:
Helium has bricked my software, coz it needs usb ptp mode or something like that, Z3 hasnt it.

Tried it sometimes and then usb driver on Z3 was completly broken, I needed to reinstall the software via companion software.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] jamieroquai:
Sounds weird that a little app as Helium can mess up an USB driver, maybe should try o use the WiFi connection instead?

I've got a backup of my apps made with Helium that I made on my HTC One m7 and I did it wireless trough my brower.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dirtyzecrets:
If I where you I would wait a little longer before unlocking the bootloader and root this phone. Because of the issues DRM issues on open bootloader. And there is no way for doing a backup of these files yet.

Maybe there will be a root without unlocking bootloader in the future. That said, this is just my opinion and if you do not want or need DRM files, just go for it!

Read the thread in the general forum about unlocking bootlader and consequences of that before doing anything....
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] thescorpio84:
I'm really grateful for your info and your advice. :good:

I'll wait to root without unlocking the bootloader. :crying:

I need root only because I can use the SD card as internal memory.

I have tried many ways from youtub and apps from Google Play but nothing has worked

I use big apps like tomtom europe and 8 asphalt and similar apps :o

that's why I want to have large memory space :(

thank you so much again
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] GhostLeader:
OK, I tried it again but first I updated the companion software on windows 7 and then it has installed the ADB driver... It was missing on release, sony was to slow :p

Its working now!!!!

This process worked great on a Sony Z3 (D6603), thanks.

I have a Sony Z3 Tablet Compact (SGP621) as well, has there been any efforts towards something similar on that platform? I suspect it might still be too soon, it appears the Sony bootloader unlock site doesn't even list the Z3 Tablet Compact as an option yet.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] mikaeldalc:
You may be correct but root would be good enough to get rid of the bloatware if anything

How do I make a copy of DRM keys?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] gregbradley:
You need root first and then use the TA partition tool from the cross device development section.

So until there is a locked bootloader root you cannot make a DRM backup
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ShermCraig:
While I am sure folks hate this "what about my device" question, I will +1 it as I too would like to root the D6616. If anyone knows if it is being worked on or if it's not even remotely possible, I for one would like to know. Thanks folks!! :fingers-crossed:

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ShermCraig:
Thanks [MENTION=946167]monz[/MENTION]. So, mine says Bootloader unlock allowed: No. From what I gathered by reading some more posts, this does not necessarily mean that I won't be able to unlock in the future - when someone finds a way? Is that accurate?

Thanks again!

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] LenAsh:
I'm afraid your carrier has permanently locked your bootloader and there is NO way around this. Ever.

You will have to wait for a rooting method for locked bootloaders.

Nood Question srry

Ok so the last phone i rooted was my S3 which was easy, just upgraded to the xperia Z3 D6603. Know iv had a look at the DRM problems with unlocking your bootloader. Will i lose my DRM Keys if my Z3 bootloader is already unlocked ?

I mean Noob not Nood, stupid tablet lol
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] LenAsh:
Unlocking the bootloader without a TA backup (currently not possible) means DRM/Camera algorithms are lost forever.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] harfot:
The keys are lost at the moment the bootloader is unlocked, so yes they are gone.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] GavinThinks:
The phone was already unlocked by Tmobile, will they stillbe lost ?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] gregbradley:
I do not think it was already y unlocked by T-Mobile

No phone is sold with an unlocked bootloader. It may be able to be unlocked (But knowing T-Mobile, probably not) but they are never sold unlocked

I imagine you are mistaking SIM free with bootloader unlock. They are completely different
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] harfot:
Depends on what you mean by 'allready unlocked'?

Open the service menu on the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to get access to menu.

Tap Service info->Configuration->Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed = Yes, then you have a phone that it is possible to unlock (but isn't at present) and your DRM keys are stille there.

If you unlock, the status status would change into Unlocked = Yes. BE AWARE you cannot backup TA partion without root and at the moment root is only possiblew with unlocked boot loader (losing DRM keys).

If it equals No/status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

Or is as by [MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION] mentioned above,
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] GavinThinks:
Ahh i see my mistake, :good:

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

Ye it does say Bootloader unlock allowed = yes,
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
Might just be me. But I just came from years of Samsung with CF-Auto root and that was way easier.

Is there any step for step guide anywhere? As the one in the start doesn't tell me much.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] huaiwei:
Is the camera still screwed?

Hi everyone this is my maiden post here.

Basically to cut long story short, I successfully completed the entire rooting process and was happily transferring stuff using Titanium Backup from my Z2 to my Z3. As a result, the Z3 went into the non-stop booting issues, so I had to flash the whole thing using Flashtool with stock kernel. So now I am supposedly back to a locked bootloader and with factory settings...or am I?

I ask this because I wonder if my camera has been restored to its intended functionality standards (I can't compare with the intended quality as I have not even taken a photo with it when I first bought the phone), as I read from previous comments that the DRM is lost forever once the bootloader is unlocked, and remains so even if relocked? Did my flashing operation restore the DRMs too?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my noobish post! :D
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ianrobbie:

Hi, I need help from some of the pros here. I don't know what did I do wrong, but suddenly in the messaging section of my Wizard, the subfolder Text Messages cannot be expanded to its subsections, and when I click the Text Messages folder, folder called "IPM.Root" appears instead of "inbox" with no messages inside....

The strange thing is that when I receive new SMS and I click on the "new message" notification on today screen, I can get normally to "Inbox" and can see all my stored messages. However, when I close messaging, and want to access my Inbox later again (without receiving any new message in the meantime), I get again only the "IPM.Root" option.

Any idea how to repair this section of messaging application?
