Only downside is that it does not have working recovery after you flash LP.

Nope. I always had MTP on..
[Xperia Z3 General] benjieb:
Hey, thanks for helping. Am I right to believe that getting a working recovery for LP is just a matter of time or should I expect to have to struggle with future updates ?

Back to the DRM thing, I understant it won't be armed, should I still backup the "TA partition" ?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 General] LiViD:
A general warning of "Do not flash this ROM unless you are willing to break your recovery!" should be applied to the first page. Now the only way to get another ROM onto the phone is to flash back to 4.4.4 and start the process all over again.
[Xperia Z3 General] Masami1975:
yes but what do you do in flashtool???
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
No you just flash recovery kernel from KK with flashtool.
[Xperia Z3 General] mad_max911:
How to do that? Where to get FTF image with recovery and root?? Flashtool does not recognize flashable zip recovery images that are prerooted.... Can you point me to right file of what to flash??
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Search forums. You don't flash anything prerooted just Ftf with Sony signature that includes KK recovery kernel. This you can flash and boot on locked bootloader. But boot recovery ONLY. If you boot LP with KK kernel you get in trouble.
[Xperia Z3 General] mad_max911:
I did quite a lot forum search on this topic and i am still confused. :)

So, i use .77 or .93 ftf image and flash only "kernel" part in flashtool? Or "boot"?? Stock sony images have included recovery?? How to enter this recovery?
[Xperia Z3 General] Kevke610:
how can I backup my 'important' data on lollipop without a working recovery?

I know I can backup the internal sd with pc companion, but how can I backup now the 'data' partition to restore it again? I wanna wipe everything, downgrade to .93 to root it, then install the dualrecovery to flash my pre-rooted signed customized DE 23.1.A.0.690

another question.. I created the pre-rooted lollipop with SuperSU v2.46 and dualrecovery... Oh no, I think I found the Problem... I've used the installer.zip not the flashable zip *cry*

what can I do know to fix this without losing my 'important' data?

Agreed - I thought I was being incredibly stupid after a few days of having a working rooted LP ROM and then trying to boot into a working TWRP recovery to no avail. I can't even mount /system R/W either, which I believe is also related to the recovery.

Would be great if we could get TWRP working with the pre-rooted LP ROM.

Great work to the OP though, do appreciate having the pre-rooted LP ROM.

I too can confirm that this works as described. I now am able to boot to recovery with the latest Lollip ROMs.

Once quick question - I have noticed on LP ROMs that my radio doesn't ever show 4G like it used to on the 4.4 ROMs. Is this my imagination, or is there some substance to what folks are saying in this thread in that these pre-rooted LP ROMs don't have 4G enabled/working?

Hi again

In order to have a french rooted rom with dual recovery using prf creator where can i find the french pre rooted firmware ?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 General] benjieb:
Shazam!!!

Thanks again to the great science and spirit of XDA I now have a perfectly working Lollipop Z3 with recovery and root!

Still some head scratching to do on how to get system R/W, but this is not a big deal.

in case it might help someone, here is what I did starting with a full stock Z3 under 5.0.2:

1- Flashed stock D6603_23.0.A.2.93_Customized FR with flashtool

2- Rooted with Girfroot

3- Installed dualrecovery

4- Backup DRM and TA partition with Backup-TA

5- downloaded official D6603_23.1.A.0.690_Customized FR with XperiFirm

6- Used Flashtool to create a FTF file from the unpacked ROM files (excluded TA partition and userdata)

7- modified the flashable dualrecovery zip according to this post

8- used PRFcreator to compile a prerooted flashable zip file that contained the latest french rom, superSU and dualrecovery

9- I applied the byeselinux fix to get recovery to work.

I went to every effort to do it properly, it was quite rewarding to get it all to work.

Lollipop is great, not as clean as it was on nexus 5, but still great improvment over KK. But I wouldn't live with an unrooted android phone.

So thanks everybody!!
[Xperia Z3 General] sicopat:
Would you mind share your rom ? :)
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Got my RW to /system working by:

now i can rw to system in ES explorer. If I want to do it in terminal (Jack Palevich), need to remount system rw (mount -o remount,rw /system)
[Xperia Z3 General] benjieb:

If I'm not wrong there is already a workaroung to get everything working? It would be kind of nice if some of you guys would do this on an other version than the french one.

I need my Recovery back!! :D (yet root is more important to me)
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
I did many times on baltic nordic and German versions. Also now on deodexed German and rw and recovery working without problems.
[Xperia Z3 General] JaboSammy:
I'm a hardcore noob :D I do not think I'm capable of doing this. The Z3 is very new to me :/

I would really REALLY love an upload with a fixed german deodexed Version.

I would totaly love you for that!

I would do a very clear instruction if i was able to.

I'd love to know if and how i can convert my flashable prerooted-rom.zip to a .tft file to edit it.
[Xperia Z3 General] benjieb:
Flashed the modified dualrecovery... Everything is fine, recoveries still there... But still no full root...

This rw access seem totally random. I can't make any sense out of it. Some of us get it others no.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Steps to get deodexed superrooted LP.. The clean way...

You will need Windows computer. It can be done on Linux too but out of scope ofmy little tutorial.

You will need Xperifirm, Flashtool, PRFCreator, giefroot, Xzdualrecovery installer and flashable , SuperSU, byeselinux, RICDefeat and Minimal ADB. Search forums.

Remove SIM. Put in clean SD card. Install Flashtool drivers Flashmode and Z3.

1. downgrade to ".93" FW using Flashtool, wipe all.

2. reboot, do initial setup, skip Google, skip WiFi.

3. enable USB debugging, mock locations and unknown sources

4. Run giefroot. You may need to run it twice.

5. install XZDual recovery from PC

6. Download Lollipop FW with Xperifirm.

7. In Flashtool create lollipop ftf using all downloaded files

8. In PRFCreator create prerooted FW using ftf you made, flashable Xzdualrecovery and SuperSU.

9. Put prerooted flashable FW to SD and boot recovery. Disconnect USB.

10. Clean wipe all except external SD

11. Flash FW.

12. Do NOT reboot!!! Power off

13. Flash Ftf you created but select Exclude System.

14. Boot, do normal setup, no wifi

15. Again allow debugging and unknown sources

16. Run byeselinux from PC

17. After boot you should be able to boot recovery.

18. In SuperSU disable namespace separation.

19. Run RICDefeat, reboot

20. Install root Explorer or ES File Explorer

21. You should get RW by enabling root Explorer

22. Also shell RW using remount should work.

Optionally you can now flash deodexed zip. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3015281

Wifi and Google do at last as to not to mess updates with debloated deodexed zip.
[Xperia Z3 General] JaboSammy:
I'm trying this out right now :)

But as i said - I'm a noob. And that's why i dont understand the very last step and the last sentence :P Especially the last sentence.

Also: What is "RICDefeat" and how does it work?

I just found a flashable .zip, yet you said to "run" it?
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
You can see if RW works by using ADB..

Type:

adb shell

su

cd /system

touch test.txt

ls

If no test.txt was created, type:

mount -o remount,rw /system

touch test.txt

ls

Now test.txt should be in list of directory.

RICDefeat is script that will disable RIC service that prevents mounting system RW. You find it here on forums, search for SGP621-RICDEFEAT.ZIP
[Xperia Z3 General] JaboSammy:
This is still a thing im not 100% sure about. The creator of this RICDefeat says to just extraxt and run the "install batch". I do not find such a file. only an other .zip file, some other files and a "create.batch". Is that everything i have to run in order to get this RICDefeater working?

Thank you so much for the instructions.

I'm pretty sure if would be very appreciated by a lot of people if you'd make a post by yourself!
