Maybe we should make a Root Bounty thread, like they did for the Z1s (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2644946)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo3553:

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niaboc79:
I could build rom for Z3 and Z3c if the community is able to give me one of them ;)

Start a bounty thread with someone ready to receive donations then when the right amount is reached, send the money to a dev ;)

Ok so if people in here trust me, I will be willing to open a new thread with my paypal info so people can donate and i will keep the list updated. I have alot of free time. And maybe we can make a vote system so the people who make a donation can vote on the dev they want to buy a device for? What do you guys think?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SsezZ:
May be it's better to start money collection, and tag all developers of previous roots. After they will find a solution, dev who release method or tool will get the whole amount of money. I think if somebody helped him in creation he will share. IMHO
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hebbe:
hmm...generally a good idea.

but if i were a dev, i wouldn't want this. because now they're doing things "just for their fun", with no pressure. if they can deliver, good for us, if they can't or won't or don't want to...who can blame them then?? but if they get a device from the community for developing (e.g. for getting root), they have agreed into something like a deal with us. then they will have pressure: "the community paid me a device for delivering them root, but i currently have no time/ideas/knowledge to do so, ...". finally, the community might say: "hey, we've sponsored you a device...where are the results of my request for root...".

i think that might be stressing and pressure for an accepting dev...and i wonder, if they are willing to "agree to the deal".

another aspect might be sponsoring the devices as a "thank-you gift" for the things the devs already did in the past for us :)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo3553:
Maybe there will be some pressure on the devs, but I think it will also be some kind of a motivation for the devs, the way I see it if i was a dev, i will spend more time on a device i own rather then a device i don't own. Or maybe that's just me ;)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niaboc79:
This thread has been created to find dev, not to find root exploit.

To find root exploit a Z1 or Z2 with latest Sony build is enough since the latest build of these phones are like the Z3 unrootable.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo3553:
Just to be clear, the purpose of this thread was to see more development in the Z3 forum. Because to be honest, when i browser throw the threads i think it's sad to see so little development. The Z3 is a powerful device and in my opinion is one of the best Android phones out there. And in my Z2 time, I lost my drm keys when i unlocked the bl, but [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] made a rom where we could get some of the features that we lost with drm keys back. Anyway I think buying the device for devs would open so many doors. Sorry for my bad English :(
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niaboc79:
Yeah the Z3 and Z3c development sectionz are dead...

So, rename your thread and start to collect ;)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hebbe:
obviously, you didn't get the point of my post. maybe i should've expressed it more clearly. :)

getting root was just an example what people who donated might want in return from the devs. replace "root" by what ever you wish from a developer to whom you donated :D

by the way: i loved your roms on my xperia z!! thank you so much fpr your work. thanks to you, an awesome device got even more awesome :good::good::good::good::laugh::laugh:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo3553:
I don't think the thread needs a rename, but people need to make up there minds about what they want to donate for. Because obviously nobody can guarantee that you/ the devs will find a root exploit for lb, but i believe that there will be alot more development for this device.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SONiX-GERMANY:
I really wont disrespect other devs, but in my oppinion Doomlord is the only one with the most experience and knowledge in the Sony/Ericsson section. In his signature is his PayPal donation link. So why not just simple ask him via pm how we can get the whole thing rolling, he could buy a Z3 ( 6603 of course :p ) himself, and start the project - root with locked BL.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo3553:
As [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] has mentioned earlier, the devs doesn't need a Z3 to find a root exploit. It can be done with Z1 or Z2 on the latest build. Or am i wrong?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atis112:
Hey guys. What kind of development would you like to see? If you would like root on locked bl you need to find a really good developer (maybe Doomlord?) because old root methods (towelroot and the "servicemenu root") wont work on our phone, so Z3 need a new exploit. If you would like Cyanogenmod, you just have to wait. Jerpelea will give it for us. Thats why I don't start to work on CM. Later, if we get root method on LB, i think I will work on Cyanogenmod for locked bootler devices.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SONiX-GERMANY:
I think nobody seriously wants or needs CM or any Custom Roms atm. It's just simple, for now the root access on LB is the only thing which is important. Many users are customizing their phones themselves, using helpful apps, which need root access, like me. Let's see, i'll write a pm to Doomlord, perhaps he's interested and has the time.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBuzman:
root isnt a case of asking nicely.. and root will be available to us as soon as it is to Z2 (which all the big guns already have and would root if could) ~ if you want dev you need to unlock bootloader PLUS get an unlocked bootloader device to a dev.. :)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poldie:
Exactly. Just check out the "where's my rom? Eta? You bricked my device" whining you read already (despite the warnings and rules) - and that's just the freeloaders; imagine how entitled someone's going to feel if they've paid 10 euros; why, they'd practically own about 200 hours of a developer's spare time!

I just want root so i can use adb over wifi. I'm sure everyone has different requests/requirements/desires though.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo3553:
I kind off expect the devs to unlock the bootloader, of the devices that we'll buy them, and start development right away?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBuzman:
^^ yes, other point being that only unlocked bootloader users will benefit (disclaimer: I am unlocked) - so the rest should be aware that even with a device devs may not give them much if they dont unlock (until root found of course). and this may cause tension hehe
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dwayne01:
Any objections if I start a bound thread for root with locked boot-loader?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBuzman:
^^ that would be popular ~ sony cross development thread may have better reach as it covers all Z series
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo3553:
Yeah I know that but it's up to people to decide if they want to unlock or not. And the roms will work on locked bt ones someone finds a root.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niaboc79:
Have you read previous posts.

Nobody need a device to find root exploit.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niaboc79:
The current thread is about developing and buying device to some dev so they can develop for the community.

Your thread is useless, giving money to someone to find a root exploit is the best way to kill the community and the fact that android is free.

Here's an example, Someone found a root exploit, without a thread like yours, the guy will share it. With your thread he will wait a good amount of money!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyres:
What we pledge is what we would donate, had the root exploit been already released to the community.

It's only a way to encourage developers, not to "corrupt the community".
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckaidi:
I'm in for root with locked BL.

To get this Z3 thread moving is also getting root 1st.

Can open a thread and let everyone pledge a donation to whoever release a working exploit.

I will see this as an encouragement for dev.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vittogn:
I support it. In my opinion this step is useful to find a solution that will allow a full go back to stock for warranty purpose.

Then we'll have a lot of user seeking and donating for AOSP roms.

I'm not comfortable in loosing warranty (or decreasing the value for selling second hand) for the sake of modding. This is my opinion only.

I've already donated to the guy the is building aosp in the dev forum.

Just tell me where to send my money!

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullghost:
iam in for LB root,

maybe if we can crack or bypass or make universal or fake the TA , its more powerful then root since we can gain the root by patching the kernel and have full access after unlock bootloader.

i think there is a api that directly access to TA partition for validation DRM key that we can cheat on
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aegixnova:
I'm willing to pay for a root that can backup the TA partition, or keep it intact during bootloader unlock. I'll happily be willing to pay for it. I'm thinking $50. I'll only pay up if it's done, or if a big-name trusted awesomesauce developer asks for donations. Directly to the developer themselves!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geronimoid:
Bounty for root with LB started for the Z3C here

Maybe you guys should speak to the OP of that thread to suggest combining with the Z3 since firmwares are similar...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niaboc79:
Soo, people keep focusing on the "bounty" for root :D

When they will reach 25k $ I will give them root on locked bootloader, I won't work on the exploit for less...

I don't expect this post to lead anywhere.. but I have recently dropped my unlocked bootloader z3 and broken the screen (no touch response now) - everything else okay..

I am now selling the phone on ebay as I can't afford to fix it - maybe a resourceful xda'er who can fix xperia phones can set this up as the dev donation device - maybe using the spoken about donations in this thread?

(Don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to flog my phone here - it'll sell no problems - just thought it an opportunity, no matter how slim the chance of anything happening).

I did some tricks (like I did before on XT1033->XT1032 variant) and it worked like a charm!!! I'm uploading at this time a flashable zip. I'll post instructions after upload.

There's some screenshots attached.

[]'s

Installation steps:

1) Flash RETUAWS_XT1064_4.4.4_KXB21.85-17_cid9_CFC without flashing fsg.mbn (if you're on another firmware, you'll get errors on install process)

Important: Do not flash fsg.mbn or you will have NO SIGNAL after installation and need to flash XT1068/XT1069 fsg.mbn back after the process to get signal back.

2) Install custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, etc...)

3) Download and install update_nofsg.zip via recovery.

4) Wipe cache/data.

5) If you doesn't get any error message at install process, reboot and wait... (it's around 5 minutes first startup)

update-nofsg-working.zip - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3o5NziVM8e5UU9QRjNaYzJQeG8&authuser=0

(I bring back this file because someone said to me that this is working and sent to me screenshots.)

Problems with file permissions. When I get home, I'll fix this.

Magically it's working again. =O

Buglist:

1) no sim selector activity, you need to select a single sim for voice calls (I'm working on this)

Working receive calls from both SIMs

Thnx for u r effort buddy :thumbup:

Can u tell me how to downgrade from KXB21.85-23 to 21.85-17.

And is downgrade possible because i tried to downgrade to 85-17 earlier for retaildsdsall.en03.retin. It kept giving me errors while downgrading.

Because i m currently on the KXB21.85-23 build.

As u have told that we need to flash The

RETUAWS_XT1064_4.4.4_KXB21.85-17_cid9_CFC. That means its a downgrade to a US firmware.

Plzz provide the steps

I will be grateful to you..
[G 2014 Android Development] glossywhite:
I can't imagine that the AWS version of the USA firmware would be the only one that this could be used with. I'd think that the global GSM variant would be a better fit for non USA owners, in fact:

"Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuglb.retuglb.en.US"

(glb = global)

Thoughts?

After trying too hard tot het Lolipop working on the moto g i gave up and wanted tot go back tot kitkat. Whilz this gave me no problems the first 3 times for some reason the fourth time I couldn't get any signal. So I tought oh I flashed the wrong modem or fsg, no big deal.

It appeared my IMEI number was completly erased. My network blocks any communication after a few minutes and I get a warning from my provider that my phone is blocked for security purpososes

Please be carefull ! I RMA it and am waiting tot see of they will replace it. I am by no means a noob as I used tot work in a cell phone repair centre and have flashed maybe 100 phones in the last year...
