I think yes, but during the tests that i made i detected that after ota update to .77 i cannot uninstall google play music as instance. I used the app "System app remover", the apps tells that have uninstalled but nothing happens. The app "System app remover" requires root so i can conclude that after ota update to .77 the system maintains the root permission.

This situation of root permission but can't uninstall system reserved apps like Google Play Music maybe be related with what has been said some post ago related to Read and Write permission something described like "op", i'm still trying to understand what is this "op read and write permission" thing, if you discovery please let me know.

Thanks.

Do you have busy box installed? can it acquire root access?

do you have root checker to verify if you have root access after the OTA update?

Z3 Dual D6633

I have successfully rooted Xperia Z3 Dual D6633 23.0.F.1.74

I have a waiting OTA update for 23.0.1.F.0.96

Has any one tried running this exploit on Xperia Z3 Dual D6633 23.0.1.F.0.96 does it work? (if the exploit works on the new firmware then there is no worry for "keep root" "protected mode etc")

I have Flashtool and XperiFirm but still puzzled what I need to do. to download the new FW and pre-root it then flash the phone without actually wiping out my data.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mr.axan:
Right now I'm on op firmware and no 3g active :(

Am I right that I have to flash a prerooted Nordic firmware? I'm living in Sweden.

Thanks in advance
[Sony Cross-Device General] ferrari2:
What means "op" ?

3g and mms is a network operator configuration. You can ask your operator to send you an auto-configuration message or you can go to settings in the device and try the option that auto-configure this (mms and 3g internet).

Regarding firmware file version, you can install almost all because most of them have all languages. I particular choose the german generic unbranded because was the one that was installed when i bought the phone and principally because this particular version have the .77 version ota update available in opposite to the generic global that don't have .77 version available by ota update.

Super noob question. I'm about to receive mine today, how do you find out which firmware you have?

And if I do have a more recent one, how do I go about downgrading so I can root?

Does anyone know if you can flash a 6616 with a different 66** firmware to root it then flash it back? Or is this impossible or brick the phone?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ferrari2:
Hi,

The Root Checker says "Root OK".

But

Busy Box was downloaded and installed in the device but cannot "Install inside the Busy Box app"

Also try with ES File Explorer give rw to /system without success.

So i think we can conclude that after ota i lost full root access. I say full because SuperSu still working and supposedly giving root permissions.

Thanks for any help.

[Sony Cross-Device General] coch:
It's not that particular Mount button you need to tap on (at least this never worked for me, the button does nothing). I had the same issue myself as I'm new to ES File Explorer and it took me some time to figure it out.

This is what you need to do:

Swipe from left to right in ES FileExplorer to reveal the settings panel. Then expand Tools find Root Explorer in those settings and turn it on.

Then, tap on Root explorer (not on the on/off button but on the name Root Explorer itself). This will open a settings window in which you'll find Mount R/W. Tap on it then switch /system from RO to RW and tap OK.

That should be it.

(Once everything was done (root, install recovery, etc...) I went back and switched /system back to RO, but I'm not sure if this is really needed.)
[Sony Cross-Device General] G-FACE:
You need to go in folder system, and when you are inside click "mount R/W" button above.
[Sony Cross-Device General] danilo_scala:
yes and nothing changed

[Sony Cross-Device General] coch:
From your screenshot you're in the app Root Explorer. My instructions are for use with the app ES FileExplorer. I never could make it work with Root Explorer.

It is confusing because the app ES FileExplorer includes a feature called Root Explorer but there's also an app called Root Explorer.

If you try my instructions with ES FileExplorer and it still doesn't work then it's safe to assume that something went seriously wrong in the process and I would suggest starting fresh i.e. reflash the stock generic FTF and start over.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Elysian893:
No. You can't just flash whatever firmware you want on a locked down phone.
[Sony Cross-Device General] scoder:
Well actually, that's what worked for the Z3 Tablet, so it was a valid test to attempt on the Z3v and D6616. Unfortunately, both of these hardware revisions have newer firmware that prevented a system.sin flash.

Loader.sin does flash and soft bricks the phone, so maybe someone with more knowledge can find a hole in that.

[Sony Cross-Device General] rpinheiro:
Nut still has not included .96 fw on his recovery script. You have to edit it manually.
[Sony Cross-Device General] rpinheiro:
As I said on the last post, Nut still needs to edit "installdisableric.sh" script for properly include our Z3 dual latest firmware version. I have edited it myself including this change. Just flash this file using your current recovery manager. (I prefer TWRP).

Any help?...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Space_pilot:
what fw and kernel you on?
[Sony Cross-Device General] GhostRaiderMX:
The only way, at least for the T-mobile D6616 model can have root is for someone to find an exploit on Android 4.4. In general, Android 4.4 will become vulnerable as months pass by since it would be abandoned by OEMs and Google themselves. In theory, if an exploit is found on another phone that has the latest Android 4.4 release, then it would most likely work on the Xperia D6616.

The problem that many people here have is that they have to downgrade to use this discovered exploit. So if someone finds a brand new exploit on the latest android 4.4, then you wouldn't need to downgrade at all (unless your on Lollipop) and all Xperia Z3 models would be rooted.

Still hoping that day comes.

D6616 4.4.4 23.0.D.1.123 Firmware ROOT

I have the T-Mobile D6616 Z3 with the 23.0.D.1.123 firmware, currently not supported and I tried everything you said to. The app kept saying "Your device seems not vulnerable". I understand that 5.0 is coming out, but is unavailable until March. Root for 5.0 might take some time too for the Z3. So, would it just be easier for the time being to get support for the .123 firmware? Also, I don't know how to upload kallsyms, but I would be willing to work with you as much as I can.

[Sony Cross-Device General] MAROCANU:
Root D2203

I have firmware 18.4.C.1.26, this root method not working. Message : seems your kernel or device is not supported.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
