Hope this attachment enought? I have checked if my kernel is patched for boundary_checks_offset in qsecom and I can confirm its not patched, its vulnerable to qsecom exploit! We fail definitely on ion alloc and probably we need to exploit only qsecom without using ion memory.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zxz0O0:
You can even allocate ion memory as normal user. munjeni you are doing something wrong with opening the device.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] munjeni:
I have used CVE-2014-4322 exploit for Nexus Android 5.0 and nothing modified in code, stil fake source code.

shellcode.S

#define __ASSEMBLY__
#include <linux/linkage.h>

ENTRY(shell_code2)
ldr r0, [pc , #4]
STMFD SP!, {R0}
LDMFD SP!, {PC}
.byte 0xee, 0xee, 0xee, 0xee

Function MyCommitCred is commented since I have testing now only ion alloc and fail to compile with MyCommitCred since have no time to implement mycred.

Compile:

/root/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc -I /root/cm11/out/target/product/amami/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/usr/include msm.c shellcode.S -o root
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zxz0O0:
Did you use correct ion.h from our kernel?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] munjeni:
As you see I have testing this on my phone:

/root/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc -I /root/cm11/out/target/product/amami/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/usr/include msm.c shellcode.S -o root

So yes, it is correct ion.h!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] munjeni:
In system/core/libion we have ion_test.c ...I will try again something tomorrow!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] thienbrand:
So ... your code has just created something in the system... how wonderful it is !
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tijs14tijs:
That is so weird

Thanks for the screenshot, you have tried root and as system, which should have worked but clearly doesn't.

This is so weird. You can open /dev/ion but when you allocate you get the error: device not found :S

I don't get it, I just don't.

Oh bdw, for those who want to test for CVE-2014-7911 (Privilege Escalation using ObjectInputStream) but do not want to download the newroot.exe tool (because it sucks). I dumped the protected resources of the tool, and thus the APK. ;)

Look here for more info: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2014/Nov/51

(Although I don't know if it will lead anywhere since it can only reboot your phone by internal system crashing and triggering watchdog.)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] crakeron:
Hi guys, the thread's title suggests that a method to root with a locked BL has been found. Is it possible to root my Z3c now or is there more development needed? If so, where can i get more info or a guide?

Thanks,
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Newt182:
You have misread ;)

"3000.00+ GOAL REACHED"
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] android404:
The thread title doesn't suggest this. It's a bounty thread. Read the last couple of pages. If you understand what's being said, start finding a solution. Good luck.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sxtester:
If you don't mind, please do not disturb the Devs working on that with such *beep* questions. Read man, read at least the last few pages and you'll know where this stands.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] STR33TPIR8:
No. Goal reached means bounty reached (i suggest changing the title). No method found until now. Let the devs work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Avengeme:
*EDIT* attachment removed, it was B.S.

No, it's a link to a mediafire download link. I've downloaded it, I'm on my work laptop so I'm not going to run the risk of running an unknown exe but if someone wants to scan it or run it in a sandbox I'll attach it here, I'm highly doubting it's going to work but hey...who knows.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Greynet:
The exe file runs okay. But it asks for a serial number to 'function'. The link to said number takes you to surveys. Please know this because it really is BS if you took the time and risk of running the program.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Avengeme:
Lose the attitude, I said plainly I wasn't going to run it and that I doubt it would come to anything.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] munjeni:
Probably bug is in ION_ALLOC, instead I think we need to use ION_MAP

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] thienbrand:
That's not even a problem, trust me :D now all we need is patient.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] muzab a:
Nver said it's a problem
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] munjeni:
Are ...serious?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] graffixnyc:
Has it been said that it won't work on 5.77? I'm on that version as well. I think we can downgrade as I have seen chatter of it in the .77 firmware thread... wondering if I should start to downgrade now or just sit tight and be patient and wait for the official word if it will work on 5.77 or not
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] thienbrand:
Yesterday, they tested the exploit on 5.77 and it failed so I guess we somehow will have to downgrade to 2.93 :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] yacloo:
just in case better before downloading older firmware
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mo3553:
Will this work with the Z3?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zxz0O0:
I'm using CVE-2014-7911 for system escalation and CVE-2014-4322 for root. Tested on 23.0.A.2.93, not sure about other firmwares as some people mentioned CVE-2014-7911 being patched in recent firmwares.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mrrflagg:
In the OP it is said that the bounty can only be claimed if it works on the latest software version but if I can safely roll back the version without affecting device function I'll happily do that for root

Zurgthe3rd
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Depump:
it can root without UBL, really ?

:good::good::good::good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] 2mal16:
I think it refers more to Kit Kat vs Lollipop, not the firmware version.

And any root here deserves the bounty.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] lcohen999:
Absolutely. Why is this even a discussion. I have my pay pal account ready!

Ok, thanks [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] ... could you provide us a guide to make it happen? i also have 23.0.A.93 firmware (here in my country we will be locked on thar for a long time, no matter what sony does)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Canadian DJ:
Nvm
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] infinitylook:
Hey how about z3 dual. Please don't forget about us huhuhu. Hope this works for all z3 family(including z3tc which I will get soon hopefully)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] iFlasher:
If it works in one z3, I think that it going to work in your z3.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] graffixnyc:
Patience grasshopper.. I'm sure he is cleaning it up and getting it more noob friendly.. I'm sure once he gets it ready for general consumption it will be posted.

FYI Downgraded from 5.77 to 2.93 without a hitch although I did have to wipe data
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] thienbrand:
Just downgraded to 2.93. Patiently waiting...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Canadian DJ:
It doesn't have to be noob friendly as noob's wouldn't know what to do with root access if it was dropped on their heads.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] caqo71:
You have Helium to backup your data.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] muzab a:
So its a must to wipe data for downgrade
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] graffixnyc:
You're kidding right? You have tons of people here that can't even use ADB or fastboot yet want root and their bootloader unlocked.. hell.. I've seen people want S-off on an HTC device without even knowing what s-off even is.. So when I say noob.. it's really just a nice way of saying idiot friendly.. For example in my GPE conversion for the HTC one.. I give clear instructions with every single command, every message they will see etc and I still get people saying they are stuck and want a how to video..haha
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] graffixnyc:
Yes, if you do not it will force close like crazy on boot (I tried it first)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] espaciosalter20:
that's correct. Not everyone in here are noobs. Some of us are pretty confident to do things with our devices, besides, with locked bootloader is very hard to brick this, just a matter to flash stock again and everything will be allright.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] muzab a:
Ahh better start using helium then
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] graffixnyc:
No I don't.. I refuse to use anything by Koush.. It's a personal thing ;) I don't care about app data anyway
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zxz0O0:
Requirement is someone with unlocked bootloader who can post kallsyms addresses from Z3 dual.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Canadian DJ:
What I was saying is a noob needs to read and learn and they don't need root as they don't even know what root means.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] infinitylook:
Okay. So is there anyone here with a Z3 dual that wants to unlock? I guess D6633 isn't that much popular. Can't you get it work even without those? I mean they should have similar fw with Z3 I guess.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] graffixnyc:
Are you going to release it on it's own or integrate it with your easy root tool? Trying to figure out which thread I should be F5ing like a fiend :P
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] espaciosalter20:
until [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] publish the long awaited root method, i have been doing an interesting reading: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58338197&postcount=421

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Huey85:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Newt182:
Well I guess he would be working on it right now, right.. I mean there is $3000 at stake. I hope this will also work on D6603.

Does anyone know if there was any hardware revision or any reason why you couldn't downgrade to the required firmware on a Z3? I mean I only just got mine a few weeks ago and I did update but I didn't check what version it originally came with.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] graffixnyc:
This is true :) too late now anyway. Most of my important data is stored either on the cloud or on my external card. I can't wait to root this thing and back up the ta partition.. Then I can finally play with it :P
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zxz0O0:
Currently the tool can only root D5803. To support other devices I need:

cat /proc/version
su
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
cat /proc/kallsyms > /data/local/tmp/kallsyms
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/kallsyms

Upload kallsyms and post output. Obviously you need root to get this information. Additionally you should be on a early firmware (< october).
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] graffixnyc:
I'm glad I have the D5803 right about now :P
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] infinitylook:
Now this is really worrying. Got to call out D6633 users out there
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zombiej79:
And 6603 lol
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] iFlasher:
Calling some D5533 Users that maybe can help now!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] thienbrand:
Need Z3 user with bootloader unlocked to build root tool.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mrrflagg:
I have a D5833 locked bootloader, is there any way to assist without losing DRM?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] iFlasher:
No, sorry. It´s a requeriment unlocked bootloader with root to help.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] thienbrand:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Newt182:
It has to be 23.0.A.2.93 firmware too, doesn't it?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] thienbrand:
yes :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FlyingCheese:
I really hope the D6603, D6653 and especially the Brazilian D6643 (which I have), end up having the same kallsyms output, as I doubt any D6643 users have unlocked.their bootloaders

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] AndroPlus:
I tried with Z3 D6603 23.0.1.A.5.77 so it won't help, but I'll try again with .93 later...

[EDIT]

so here's kallsyms from D6603 23.0.A.2.93_Generic GLOBAL [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] will this help?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] thienbrand:
[MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mrrflagg:
Are there any D5833 users with an unlocked bootloader who could assist as well? I only ask because I'm tempted to assist by unlocking mine my only concern is losing warranty? Can you relock bootloader and restore DRM from another device or are they individual to each device?

Zurgthe3rd
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] thienbrand:
No, every device's DRMkey is unique.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] lowtraxx:
Very nice to see someone worked it out. I had the working exploit for CVE-2014-4322 done, but got stuck on the Heap Spraying with CVE-2014-7911 which I could not get to not work at all :( Could you maybe make the PTMX_FOPS address you need somehow configurable (maybe via text file or some ui) to make it more universal? Or share some of the insight or Source you used to get CVE-2014-7911 to work? I have no interest in any rewards, I just want to get my damn device rooted ;)

Thank you again for your work!

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zxz0O0:
You need to be rooted and execute all the commands I wrote. Otherwise all addresses from kallsyms are just 0, which is not helpful.
