It's Already possible to root without unlocked bootloader and backing up ta partition. I already did that and tried cm12 and was able to go back to stock and restore my drm keys.
[Xperia Z3 General] El.Guaje:
May be it is not the final version of the firmware. You can see Album app is not updated and Walkman app is still there.
[Xperia Z3 General] azirr:
guys, i want to ask something, since lollipop is already near,

my z3 is now rooted locked bootloader using the 93 firmware. when lollipop finally comes out, is it still possible to update without losing my root?
[Xperia Z3 General] nolihowell:
Xperia Z3 D6603

you'll definitely loose your root coz it will factory reset your phone so wait till a root for lollipop on z3 is available then update your phone.
[Xperia Z3 General] Bäcker:
You just have to flash a prerooted firmware via twrp/cwm

so maybe one day after Lollipop release and you will be fine.
[Xperia Z3 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Thread turned into qna for flashing and root lol??
[Xperia Z3 General] junaidali15:
just wanna ask will it be possible to update to lollipop without losing old data?? my phone is rooted with locked bl .. will i get official update?? i know if i will update i will lose root.. but wil i loose my data like images/messages/chats etc?
[Xperia Z3 General] freddy1991:
You won't lose any data if you update it via either OTA or Flashtool.

In case of using flashtool,you need to uncheck some boxes to prevent it from formatting your phone.
[Xperia Z3 General] lo97:
If you're rooted, the update will fail. You need to do a backup, go back to stock and update. This is the only working method
[Xperia Z3 General] yakupTR:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...fixed-internally-no-timeline-for-release-yet/

And when we get it it introduces a memory leak. But not to worry,because its fixed in whatever version of android comes after 5.1 so I'm sure Sony are all over it.

(PS. I've been to Arhus and it's really great, especially at Christmastime! Hej hej!)
[Xperia Z3 General] Farooq95:
Memory leaked in 5.0.2 so Sony will soon deliver 5.1

[Xperia Z3 General] Huey85:
Why would anyone in their right minds think that an update would be released at midnight? If you were a Sony tech engineer would you seriously want to be working at midnight on a Sunday night/Monday morning? Get realistic people. The amount of absurd posts in this thread (and XDA in general) is getting absolutely ridiculous. /rant
[Xperia Z3 General] Akiainavas:
Just two days after our heated discussion about the fundamental problem with Android - the hundreds of thousands of users left with no fix to critical issues like this for months...

Oh the irony :)
[Xperia Z3 General] tseyksuli:
Huey85, have you ever heard of automatic system? Sony could have a system that makes so once clock ticks to 00:00 it will automaticly publish the update so don't be such a bummer and post something useless like you did, if people wants to wait to 00:00 then thats what they can do.

Also have you ever heard of something called Night staffs? Sony has probably people working at night while ones who worked at day has gone home for today, it's same for alot of companies out there.

But then it's probably less people available at sonys office than it is on day time. Like let's say on day time it's 50 people at office and on night time it's 5-10 people just as an example.
[Xperia Z3 General] augie7107:
I'm thinking historically that Sony begins releasing updates on Tuesday. Doesn't mean anything for this release, of course.
[Xperia Z3 General] dedei:
It's so close I can almost taste it!
[Xperia Z3 General] caqo71:
Again, i'm not telling that the update will come at midnight 00:00. Based at last news, the update will.come this upcoming week, so, at midnigth time begins, don't know when it will start to roll.

[Xperia Z3 General] kernald:
We're talking about a thing that can wait the working hours in the morning here. Not worth a night shift salary. And another bummer for this idea: even if the release was made by an automated process or a night team, releasing an update needs special attention in the following hours. If some users have major issues, the update must be pulled off. A full team is really better for reactivity in these kinds of situations...
[Xperia Z3 General] Huey85:
[MENTION=4199634]tseyksuli[/MENTION] this. [MENTION=4418741]kernald[/MENTION] has mentioned exactly what I was referring to. Yes I know they can automate the delivery but there needs to be a fix on fail team ready to rectify any possible deployment issues..

As far as I've seen in xperiablog and those french sites, the great Xperia ui has really been destroyed, gotta reject the ota and keep going with kitkat till sony fix the ui in 5.1. You'd rather install cm12 than new Sony rom

If someone want to do it, then use baltic generic if u can.

I will be back in home at 20:00. Then will try to make update zip
[Xperia Z3 General] Akiainavas:
I would say we are waiting for someone to actually flash it and post some screenshots... at this point I'm in "screenshots or it didn't happen" mode ;)

[Xperia Z3 General] Krokogator:
Guys quick question, downgrade from 5.0.2 to 4.4 is possible without any problems? (for example to test new 5.0.2 and then I go back to 4.4 and root without unlocking bootloader) I'm new to Sony :>
[Xperia Z3 General] Meannekes:
i made a flashable zip, prerooted and dualrecovery is included.

did not test it right now, i´m at work without wifi.., So do a Backup first!

Uploading to Mega right now (22%..)
[Xperia Z3 General] Akiainavas:
Same here :) Already have the FTF file on my phone, not just to go home and flash it. This is going to be a looong day.

Don't think it's possible. Either flash a pre-rooted version, or wait. When going from 4.X to 5.X you will most definitely lose root.

But you will need to wipe your phone if you wanna downgrade

That horrid orange color/bar is a terrible choice. I have a nexus 9 and is ugly and distracting when is on. As in I know I'm on battery saver thank you
[Xperia Z3 General] jonmorris:
It seems that if you enable that mode, it looks ugly but does save a lot of battery. And if you don't enable it, the battery is drained in record time. Today my G3 was dead in 12 hours, with me only really using it for a series of 4G speed tests (total screen on time probably less than an hour).

That's bad, and my Nexus 5 which was never great given its small battery is now even worse - and all the promises were that Android 5 would be so much more efficient. If it's going to be, it certainly isn't yet (nb; I'm still only on 5.0 with the N5 and waiting for 5.0.1 or 5.0.2).

Sony needs to get things right. Joe Public will already need some time to adjust to the new layout, and they won't want to have to do that AND also charge it up more frequently.

[Xperia Z3 General] karnoff:
well it looks to me that a lot of you don't understand what project volta is. From what I gather, it has be implemented by the devs of apps for it to have an affect on battery life. It won't do much without being implemented into apps code first. So don't blame google.

Even if i'm not exactly right, i didn't modify installdisableric.sh at all while installing latest (an in this case unsupported) firmwares, and everything worked flawlessly. So this step can be safely omitted.
