I suspect that this will not work. In CMD

C:\Users\*\Downloads\Z3 Compact\lockeddualrecovery\files>adb shell

shell@D5803:/ $ su

su

/system/bin/sh: su: not found

127|shell@D5803:/ $

I'm just going to start from the beginning again and walk through what's happening.

Verified root on downgraded firmware. Get to step 39 and when it restarts, it doesn't restart in recovery, it just boots normal and VERY briefly says "updating software - starting apps" (the phone is still plugged in {USB} and in airplane mode at this time.) So I manually restart in recovery, flash the PRF that I recreated^^^ and at the end it says "set_perm: some changes failed." I tap power options and hit POWER OFF and it tells me:

"Root access is miss"

THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE

- NO

- YES - APPLY ROOT (/system/xb***

- NO

The first time, I chose yes, and I ended up without root. This time I'll choose "no."

Ok, made it all the way through flashing the non-prf while EXCLUDING system. It also gave me these warnings.

09/010/2015 18:10:12 - WARN - apps_log is excluded from bundle

Rebooting now. "Android is updating"

Also, reading through the thread, here's a couple things that would be helpful to have in the tutorial as more proplr are going to be having these issues with the new Windows rollout.

1) you can't run the root exploit from inside the zip file. That's what gives the "adb is not a recognized command, etc" error. You must extract all 3 from the zip (into the same directory) and THEN run the install.

2) with newer versions of windows, they have completely disabled all automatic unsigned driver installation. It used to just give you a big "ARE YOU SURE?" warning, but now it just tells you "Sorry, these weren't installed."

What you need to do is completely disable windows driver signature enforcement. Here's how.

1) Open windows recovery options. (in system settings, or you can get there by opening windows update and click "recovery" on the left.

2) Under advanced startup click “Restart now”

3) After reboot select "Troubleshoot"

4) Then click "Advanced"

5) "Startup Settings"

6) It will prompt you to restart again

7) After reboot you will see a list of options. You want to select “Disable driver signature enforcement”.

Bam. Windows starts, install all the drivers you need (you can get them from flashtool, and don't need to install Sony's PC companion bull****)
