Link to thread or is that hackinformer article is how you did it?
[Xperia Z3 General] bodomfan:
Google kingroot and install it click root after reboot go to xz recovery app in hack informer link and install recovery phone will reboot then it's done
[Xperia Z3 General] Gedablo666:
So as I understand I need those two apps - Kingroot for root and XZRecovery app for recovery? In that thread you gave me before link not working for NDRUtils app. But as I understand its for booting to recovery? And I dont need to do nothing with pc? I read some threads here looks really complicated. On my nexus 6 much more easier. But if its works with 23.4.A.1.264 firmware then its perfect.
[Xperia Z3 General] bodomfan:
Yes exactly that way I have ndr utils and it works

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

Here's the apps you will need,do not update busybox as you will lose recovery root with kingroot first

[Xperia Z3 General] gregbradley:
User beware

Please, whenever you recommend king root as a rooting method you should also warn the user that the device's IMEI number is sent to an ip address in china during the process.

Use at your own risk.

Hi I have a problem. I had a newer version of the firmware so I have flashed the ftf files of the D6603 in the first post. When it ended it entered in a bootloop. So I tried to flash it agan and had the same problem. What could I do now?

Hi guys, I got a D6603 version : 23.4.A.1.200 (bootloader locked). So if I understood the post i can't root it without flashing an older version. My question is, what would happen if I do so ? Also, when marshmallow comes out, can I still make an update? Thanks for you answers.

Sorry don't understand, what does it mean?

[Xperia Z3 General] Corby99:
It finished the flashing process and said to power on and unplug the device, when I did it entered in BootLoop. Now I have another problem... Today when I woke up I've tried to flash again the device by selecting wipe userdata but my Z3 is unable to enter in flashmode. I press the volume down key and connect the USB but when I do it my phone don't enter in flashmode (that yesterday did) but simply recharge the phone and shows me the battery %.

I'm on KK again and I do everything but when I finish flashing the recoveries I have NDR Utils and everything but it says Unable to read XZDR Prop. When it should boot into recovery it boots into the system withouth purple led, its a red led.
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
Ignore NDR, doesn't work here either, enter recovery via plain reboot -> Press Volume Down until it enters TWRP
[Xperia Z3 General] rivasprd:

[Xperia Z3 General] FelipeRRM:
Wow man, there's been ages since I done that, follow the more recent tutorials and you will manage to root your phone!
[Xperia Z3 General] rivasprd:
Is just that my phone is the same version as yours, and I don't see tutorials for it. I'm going to use d6603 instead, no problem about that?

Enviado desde mi LG-E975 mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia Z3 General] :
Ok, lets ignore NDR, but shouldn't it reboot to TEAMWIN Recovery if the flashing process actually worked? It doesn't even give me the purple LED, that's why I think it didn't work.
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
Since NDR fails to trigger `reboot to recovery` if you don't push Vol down it just boots normally and not to TWRP.

[Xperia Z3 General] Kyrok:
Can i root my d6603 23.4.A.1.264 with this Guide?

Also, if a want a rooted custom rom but DON'T lose camera quality is this the right order to do?

- root

- backup ta

- unlock bootloader

- custom rom

- restore ta (to lock bootloader again)

does anyone know any good guides for my device/firmware for the backup/restore ta parts? :(
[Xperia Z3 General] lu99ke:
You cannot restore your TA on an unlocked BL... So any AOSP based ROMs based like cyanogenmod ( or others based on CM) you will not get restored camera function. If you install a Sony based ROM via root and recovery with a locked BL, they will have their TA intact and the DRM functions like camera remain unaffected.
[Xperia Z3 General] xDark_:
So just to make sure, if I root/flash a recovery using this method and flash a Sony based ROM, I won't lose the DRM keys, right? Will I only lose it if I unlock the bootloader?
[Xperia Z3 General] lu99ke:
Correct and correct! :D

[Xperia Z3 General] XSYLUS:
I've followed the steps for XperiFirm, Flashtool, and PRFCreator many times, every time a new OTA update notification showed up. However, this time, with the Marshmallow update it's different. I've followed the steps to creating the flashable zip and even followed the advice another member and used "recroot.zip" for the superSU. In the end I either end up with the Sony logo bootlooping or I get Marshmallow to load only to discover that I'm no longer rooted. I'm not clear what the difference is here but apparently just making a pre-rooted flashable file isn't enough to ensure root retention across updates. Perhaps there's more of a permission issue with Marshmallow. **Curse you Google, just give us the option to agree to a disclaimer and easily root OUR devices that belong to US.

After Giefroot has sent packets, it won't reboot the phone. When i reboot manually, I just get "device not rooted". And it halts.

Hi at all guys

I'm quiet happy with my z3 by now, but I want to uninstall a lot of system app that are completely useless

So I want to root my phone.

I have some question about root:

1) There's no way to root it with the latest build?

2) Will I lose the DRM files for the camera? I read that this was a big problem because after root I will do worse photos

3) Can I update after root? I will still recieve OTA updates??
[Xperia Z3 General] Pi3rluigi:
1 No

2 No, you will lose DRM only if you unlock bootloader

3 You will receive notification about new firmware update, but you will have to create a pre-rooted. tft file and flash it from recovery if you don't want to lose root

Hi all. Long time user, first time poster to anothers post. This guide couldn't have been any easier.

Z3 D6603 coming down from N Preview 4

I ran into an issue I want to throw up in case missed. When i was using NP, i took on adoptable storage and allocated half for system, half for me on SD card. i didn't undo this before FT back to KK and i ran into issues of nothing flashing from SD. TWRP/Philz would bail and go back to main menu. Even KK would choke on any access to the card.

Simple fix. Repartition card in PC and format.

Thanks ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] ecksdeeay:
That article was published long ago, so it's not referring to your 575 fw. It refers to the firmware you need to gain root with. The latest (referring to now) is not able to gain root, so the steps shown by downgrading will obtain this. Then install recovery and then use prerooted tool with the latest (yes as of NOW) even if Sony release a newer fw. Bootloader locked is for this, don't worry about that.
