d6633 downgrade to 82 from 96

I have z3 dual i updated yesterday before the v3. i have ftf file for the 82 and for the 96.

I don't want to lose any data. If i downgrade to 82 and root after i update to 96 via flashtool without selecting any wipe in data others i lose the root or still have it. I don't need to lose any data
[Sony Cross-Device General] infinitylook:
Oh that sucks. I thought it won't support .82 on z3 dual so I reverted back :( could have preserve my apps but anyway thanks for updating your work and fixing bugs.
[Sony Cross-Device General] karrouma:
The person who root 74 can root 82 and also can root the latest version 96. All same kernel number 3.4.0 and all firmware are in 2014 . Waiting for the v4 or v5 . Whennrooting android version 4.4.4 that mean all version of 4.4.4 should be rooted .

Thank you
[Sony Cross-Device General] m1kz0430:
Finally after a whole day tinkering at my drivers i finally manage to root my Z3 D6633 .74 again thank you for this freedom. @ Devs ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Greynet:
If I understood OP correctly, the vulnerability seems to have been patched for kernels > october 2014. That will mean that no version of this root will be able to root on the latest firmware. Of course i'm not saying it is not possible to root on latest firmware, I just think it will need another vulnerability. Anyway, it's quite easy to downgrade, root and flash latest firmware seeing as a lot of users have already posted step-by-step instructions on this thread. If you want root on kitkat with Z3 or Z3C, this is your best bet. Lollipop will probably come sooner than a root tool for the latest firmware.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Thanks, I will try these suggestions. By the way you can change app_id using for example using QSEECOM_IOCTL_APP_LOADED_QUERY_REQ ;) (there are also other ways but this is what I am using).
[Sony Cross-Device General] infinitylook:
No you're wrong. Firmware 96 is already patched for the exploit.
[Sony Cross-Device General] karrouma:
Are you testing the latest version . i can't root it
[Sony Cross-Device General] infinitylook:
V3 of the exploit won't work if your FW is .96 it's because this latest firmware was already patched so you need to revert back. Unless the author of the exploit can find a way

Xperia Z3 D6603 w/ .77 FW & DRM & OTHER

Firstly... sorry for posting this but I think it might help others as it's an issue I've seen floating around with no clear post as to whether it has been solved.

1) So I started reading from the beginning and a lot of people running D6603 with .77 FW said they were not able to root. Has this been solved if I was to follow instructions above to get root?

2) DRM Keys... looking at this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58396478&postcount=1050

It's not telling me much if backing up DRM keys is possible for Z3 - it's NOT on the list of supported devices as you can see here (2nd link in from the link I just posted above): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292598

3) Unlocking Bootloader AFTER I have rooted and saved DRM Keys. Then say I put a custom rom on the phone. If I want to restore phone to stock. How do I go about doing so? Completely lost on how to do that.

Thanks guys. Cheers!
[Sony Cross-Device General] snwman:
Guys how long does it take for the phone to reboot. Been running v1 and v3 root and nothing happening after 3 to 4 minutes.
[Sony Cross-Device General] munsabin:
Amen brother. This looks like it has more potential! Will give it a go.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Greynet:
I'm sorry if you think I was confusing people. I only said that there is no way that giefroot will work on the latest firmware according to the creator of the tool himself. And I don't know if you've read the thread but the Z3v and T-Mo versions aren't supported in the first place as OP said he found out that they have no firmware version vulnerable to the exploit used in this rooting method so I assumed everyone would know that I wasn't talking about those said versions at all.
[Sony Cross-Device General] elkay:
Yeah, I was already fully aware they weren't supported. I was simply stating within a post or two the "fine print" of what you posted, hopefully to avoid confusion by the many others that never bother to read most of these threads. We've had so many posts on here already, wondering why their device isn't supported because they won't read a few pages.
[Sony Cross-Device General] munsabin:
Can't even get the 1st step to work bud. I open XperiFirm, and press on Canada - Rogers under D6603, and it quickly says "Requesting...." and then says "Error: The file: 'XperiFirm.jar' thrown a critical error"

K. Nevermind. Upon installing latest version of Java it said it uninstalled older version but it didn't... did so myself from Control Pannel. It's working

D6653 guide only

These are a collected comments for D6653 using gieroot v2. Im sorry if there no qoutes who posted this coz it would make my post very long. Im just attending to important details. This post will be a guide for D6653 who wants to root.

I collected this posts from page 1 to page 102.

WORKING COMMENTS:

1. Success!!

D6653_23.0.A.2.93_Customized_20IN

First try, everything went smooth. ignoring the fact I lost all my files

2. success using v2

d6653 flashed d6603 2.93 global 20.

the first try fail then did a 2nd try bingo!!

3. D6653 successfully rooted, using TelecomNZ firmware .93

4. D6653 Rooted successfully with V2.

My specs:

Z3*D6653*with 23.0.A.2.93 firmware

Taiwanese version

Location settings on, with high accuracy

SIM card and SD cards removed

Turned on Airplane mode before running the root

Waited for a minute before continuing the script after reboot, success on*SECOND*try

My PC:

Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit

ADB driver bundled with Flashtool

5. Confirmed working on D6653 23.0.A.2.93_Customized_20IN, at second attempt....

Also confirm that TA partition was successfully backed up...

Thanks a lot for all who made those happen

6. Yes, it worked for me. I just bought my Z3 D6653 today, which came with 23.0.A.2.93. I rooted it with giefroot (rooted on the second attempt). I then enabled SuperSU's Survival mode and installed the OTA update. I'm now on 23.0.1.A.1.49 and it's still rooted.

7. Generic AU Z3 - D6653 successfully rooted

8. I have a D6653 successfully rooted on first try and now updated to latest firmware (23.0.1.A.5.77)

NOT WORKING COMMENTS (with my comments to their issues)

*1. D6653 with 23.0.A.2.93 HK firmware. Downgraded from my original 23.0.1.A.1.49 not working

- the poster suspected because it was an HK FW

2. D6653 on 23.0.1.A.1.49 not working

- my comment to this its december FW.

3. D6653 on 23.0.1.A.1.49 not working.

Shows "Device not vulnerable" message

giefrootlog is empty

- again its a december FW

4. D6653 flashed with D6603 23.0.A.2.93 FW

- i dont know why, maybe the poster didnt do all the procedures or he is not diligent enough to try it a few more times.

Note: There are some posters that cited their issues which ive seen as not helpful for D6653. To those who asked if its okay to flash the D6653 to D6603 FW, yes its working based on what I've read.

All went fine last night eventually after few hic ups. Rooted on .77 firmware on z3 compact. All setup again. But when I tried to install xposed framework I got cannot write to system. I had to flash it manually to work. I flashed the two zips floating about to change system rw. The RCIDefeat.zip and a modulecrcpatch-master.zip(with didn't flash at all) but how do I actually check or know if all is working. Es file explorer seems OK can move delete files to external so card

Edit: It's now saying on titanium backup that cannot write to external sd card

Edit: Right so after remembering and bit of searching i remember there was a way to do it through adb to get system rw. Found it on the bounty page here http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=1108 but even after i run the commands nothing titanium backup still cant write to ext sd card

Everything on a FW .93

Yet, i am still stuck on two main thing. My first question is what is the utility of the software lockeddualrecovery 2.8.1 ?

and my last one would be is it possible to install CM-12 with lollypop 5.0.X with a locked bootloader ? how would be nice :)

I'm slightly uneasy about step 6 --> So after I flash the prerooted .77 FW through TWR, I use flashtool in flashmode to flash FTF .77 FW (NOT some other .77 FW) in this step (Excluding system) correct? I used [MENTION=6372483]AlexZGV[/MENTION] procedure to create the FTF .77 FW already ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58515452&postcount=915 )
[Sony Cross-Device General] freearcher:
Where is your tutorial? Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Greynet:
The dual recovery is basically multiple custom recoveries installed at once (TWRP, CWM, PhilZ Touch), If you want to know more about custom recoveries, check this article out.

As for the second question, I read on this page from the CM wiki that if you use the CM installer, it will unlock the bootloader for you. I don't know if it supports Z3/Z3C but the point is that your bootloader will need to get unlocked if you install CM. I suggest you backup your data, try the CM installer from here and if it doesn't work, just use the custom recovery to flash the nightly version from here.

Thanks! but I don't want to change system, what is different between SGP621 and D6603?
[Sony Cross-Device General] lowtraxx:
Then you are out of luck because the system of SGP621 cannot be rooted ATM. D6603 is the Xperia Z3 Phone, which has older firmwares that are exploitable. To get root on the tablet you need to flash the system from the phone to be able to get root, then backup your DRM keys, unlock the Bootloader, flash back the SGP621 system, flash root with superuser and relock your bootloader by restoring your DRM keys. There is no other way as of right now.

[Sony Cross-Device General] G-FACE:
If the file is ftf, go on and flash it with Excluded: System

If it's zip, you need to download/create ftf with flashtool, cant flash zips with flashtool.

It is supported bro, just read arround. You need to downgrade to .93 firmware before flashing.
[Sony Cross-Device General] slinson:
For those of you who succeed with 6603 :o

1. Congrats!!

2. If I were on .77 fw, can I simply use "reset factory settings" to return .93? Actually I did so and I can see the fw version is back to .93, but the reason I ask is I'm not sure if anything else (e.g. baseband etc..) is irreversible once been on .77, meaning I need to use Flashtool to make a 'full downgrade', instead of using "factory reset"?

3. When using Flashtool to downgrade, is it sufficient to flash the .93 FTF file only? anything else to flash?

4. Where did you download the "D6603_23.0.A.2.93_Generic_20GLOBAL.ftf" file from? I want to make sure we are all on the same page..

Something that caused me trouble >>>

The root tool was not able to find my device. (although other stuff I use with ADB seems to work)

- I have been using the ADB driver from Sony "Sony sa0111 ADB Interface Driver" when I look at the control panel devices that is what I see.

- for some reason current root exploit does NOT work with this driver.

!!!!you need to replace it with the google ADB driver.

then everything works like a charm.
