Yes works with Lollipop. After running the latest Kingroot (KingRoot-4.1.0.249.apk ), before rebooting I installed dual recovery for locked bootloader. Then rebooted to TWRP and flashed BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip, which will uninstall KingUser on first run.

However I got the XignCode3 error from com2us and gamevil games. So I booted back into TWRP and flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and everything was peachy.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] stavro:
is there a special reason why you flashed supersu v2.49 first and v2.46 afterwards? i mean flashing just v2.46 would work as well right ?

[MENTION=3212981]frostmore[/MENTION] did you use 4.1 ? as far as i understood ric defeat gives you write access to the system on the internal storage on sony devices (for what normally root would be sufficient) and has nothing to do with the kitkat writing limitation on external cards. so you have to use one of the many apps in the store which will fix this. (or do the trick yourself in an xml file) since i installed xposed as well (this was btw the only reason why i wanted root to be able to use app settings again) i did it there.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] vonski:
It works !!!

Finally. Thx a lot.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] arcane613:
Worked great on my SGP611. I didn't bother unlocking the bootloader. I performed this on 23.1.A.0.690. I first replaced with SuperSU 2.46, but it seemed to have issues removing KingRoot. I then flashed 2.49 beta, and it removed KingRoot, then I switched back to SuperSU 2.46.

Cheers!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] ChiDi9901:
I tried rooting my SGP611 with Android version 4.4.4 and failed. That is when I decided to manually update (flash) it to 5.0.2 with the build number 23.1.A.1.28 (currently the latest version Sony had released). And suddenly the magic happend thanks to KingRoot. On the first try I have successfully rooted my device.

Then, without rebooting, I immediately installed NUT's XDualRecovery via the second method (install on stock modded ROM with superuser).

Next thing I rebooted into TWRP recovery and flashed the latest available BETA version of SuperSU by Chainfire (2.49-BETA).

I rebooted back into system and opened the SuperSU app and removed all the KingRoot apps, updated the 'su' binary with 'Normal' mode in SuperSU and finally rebooted my device again.

The result was satisfying.

At last I have root access on my Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact 16GB Wifi model running Android 5.0.2 with Chainfire's SuperSU, XDualRecovery, Bootloader locked!

I tried RIC defeating my device and wasn't successful. But apperently that's not a big deal because XDualRecovery may have already killed RIC. (Maybe I am wrong(!), so please correct me...)

My favourite apps like AdAway, Titanium Backup, SD Maid and Busybox work flawlessly. And rebooting my device didn't remove my root for now. Well, I have to test it for some days to see if root is permanent.

A big THANK YOU to the KingRoot team.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] robbycz:
I tried Rooting my SGP 612 with stock 5.0.2 but got stuck at the first step. Kingroot couldnt root the device succesfully.

Edit: Dont mind the commenct, worked fine on the second try.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] arcane613:
I forgot about that part. That didn't work for me either. According to XZDualRecovery thread it does. I can confirm have r/w access to /system, haven't checked anywhere else..

thanks guys
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] sengeddy:
sir, can i root the sameway ?

[MENTION=948983]stavro[/MENTION] this is my device info...thx
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] stavro:
i am not the developer of the root method nor do i have experience with rooting (via kingroot) of other devices then mine (sgp611).

its just a list of things i did to get root in a more simpler way then it was already possible before.

i would expect that it works for the sgp621 too since you have same firmware version then i have.

but if you are not sure you better go to the general kingroot thread and see if other people can confirm that root is working for your device.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Bruce666:
Do I have to flash XZDualRecovery and SonyRIC Defeat when I only need root?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Ardito:
I can confirm that this method works on sgp621!

No issues at all even starting from Lollipop 5.0.2 v23.1.A.0.690 firmware, thank you!

The only thing I can't do is flash RICDefeat patch from recovery (it fails with an error I can't remember), but even without that patch I can read and write \system folder.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] ChiDi9901:
It's highly recommended to install

XZDualRecovery to automatically gain the RIC patch. You don't need to flash SonyRIC Defeat if you install the recovery because it's already included.

The question is, what do you want to do with root? Having system R/W access is quite important to actually have a complete root experience.

Hi

I have Xperia Z3tc 611 on stock Android 4.4l.4

I followed the mentioned steps:

1. Downloaded and installed on tablet Kingroot 4.5.0c120b220

Run it on the tablet, it says the root successfully

2. Downloaded on PC Tabz3c locked XZDualRecovery 2.8.21 installer

Installed by connecting tablet to pc, running install.bat and choosing option 2

3. Flashing on recovery BETA SuperSU2.49.zip which uninstalled Kingroot

4.Flashing on recovery UPDATE SuperSU2.46.zip

5. Installed from Google play Sdfix made by Next app

The root is working

The tablet boot/reboot time increaed a lot.

When I run some apps (here maps, file commander etc.) the tabled frozes oor takes a lot of time to open it

I already wiped cache/Dalvik cache but the results is the same

What can be done?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] bushd0c:
hi, try reinstalling XZDualRecovery 2.8.21 on top one more time. that solved all my problems. (could'nt run adaway / sdfix before).

hope it works for you too!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] luk71:
Hello it seems that after running SDFix something happened with my sd card.

This caused HUGE boot times (aprox. 5 minutes) and some apps (like Here maps) freezing during launch.

By removing the SD card, the tablet is fast again.

Problem solved.

I test the SD card on computer and is seems that it's somehow damaged. Data is not lost but I cannot format from Android (loop) or Windows Format (the format did not complete successfully).

If, from Windows, I delete the files or write new files everything seems good but if I remove/insert the card nothing changed!!! Strange!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] bushd0c:
well, if you can't format the card via your pc, it certainly seems damaged. have you tried another card? i have no problems with my sdcard with exfat file system.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Nickie66:
the new kingroot worked perfectly on my SGP611 on 23.1.A.1.28 rom !

actually , i had to run kingroot twice and it the 2nd try was the charm

then installed TWRP right away, tried installing superSU 2.46; but it kept insisting on an update, so i flashed the 2.25beta from TWRP and kingroot is gone! :)

i think i should keep the beta until a new stable comes out though, i don't see issues so far , after trying to make various apps fiddle with my SD, allow Helium to do root stuff and so on :) cold boot remains around 40 seconds, and no freeze in sight :victory:
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] guybrush2099:
the last rom is .232

does it work?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] zinko_pt:
It doesn't.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] jcsy:
So king root doesnt work on 232, what are the ways to root 232 ?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] the.fall:
In short:

1. Install a firmware that is rootable (I'm not quite sure, but I think some 5.0.2 build is rootable by King root)

2. Root and install XZDualRecovery afterwards

3. Using PRFCreator, create a pre-rooted stock firmware with the 232 build (or take one of the zips provided in the according threads around here if you don't want to do it yourself, just take care that it matches your model)

4. Flash the .zip in TWRP and you're on a rooted 232 build

There are more detailed guides around here in the according threads on how to do it.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] androidrealsteel:
Does this work with SGP621 running android OS 5.1 ? also will I lose my data ?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] the.fall:
This method works for all the available models of the Z3TC, you just need the according firmware files for yours.

When going back to a rootable firmware I think you can choose not to erase data, but when flashing the prerooted .zip in TWRP I don't know if it overrides data partition (I did a full wipe before, so I can't tell). If I were you, I'd back up my data, just in case.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Notumuz:
i have found a rooted Lollipop 23.4.A.1.232 with SuperSu works nice with me.

You can flash this rom only if you

have root and recovery installed. So it's useless if your purpose is to root your device...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] zinko_pt:
I don't know if flashing with a app from the pc, using fastboot isn't possible. If it works then you can downgrade to a rootable rom, and then update to current version.

SGP612

Today I managed to downgrade to 4.4, install king-root, rooted the ROM, installed TWRP and SuperSU and finally updated to 5.1.1 through PC Companion with oficial update. It didn´t mess with root or Recovery.

Jut one note: When I first downgrade, I didn't selected to wipe user_data (I thought I could pass-by this whole process while maintaining my apps and data...). I end up booting into 4.4 and get several errors due lack of system space. I had to re-flash wiping all memory and then it got OK.

The instructions in the first post have the info you need; you can hook your tablet up to your pc/laptop via usb and install the .bat files for dualrecovery and ricdefeat (you must have usb debugging turned on in the developer menu).

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] solnyshok:
I think I would add a bit more specifics to the above. I have rooted SGP611 on 5.1.1. I however, did not find Kingroot 4.8.1, only 4.8.0. It works. Then I tried to replace kingroot with supersu using SuperSu-me, old version 6.x, and I got boot loop. I had to repair device in PC Companion, root again, then tried SuperSu-me 9.19, and it worked. Also, DualRecovery 2.8.26 (latest atm) installed correctly. (I also did backup TA, but it is not really necessary, because going through kingroot->supersu->dualrecovery -- we get full control of device and keep locked bootloader.

Now I just wait for prerooted ftf for Marshmallow
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] ɟooqɐɹ:
My experience with SPG612 on 5.1.1 (build 264):

KingRoot 4.8.0, supersu-me (6.x), reboot >> boot loop - Arrrgh! Reflash 264 build (couldn't repair with PC Companion), kingroot, supersu-me PRO (v9.2.7 from Play Store) >> stuck on stage 2, even after several reboots.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] solnyshok:
whay you mean by "stuck in stage 2"? bootloop?

I think this is all about RIC protection. You bootloop because of RIC protection (kingroot modified /system files) and XZDR recovery removes RIC protection for you. So, it is important to install XZDR immediately after obtaining root and before reboot.

So, root with kingroot, immediately install XZDR and then you have two options.

1). flash supersu.zip, reboot, delete kingroot.

2). Just reboot, run supersu-me (v9.19 or above) and then it deletes kingroot for you (might need to reboot again).
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] kos25k:
guys please help me. i finally got my tablet today and i can not root it. i follow the instructions in OP but nothing happens. when i press option 2 nothing happens. i installed kingroot 4.8.1 and superuser (this one with the green logo) but i didn't run them. what is happening please?

I am on stock KK and the point i stuck is when i try to install recovery from PC it says:waiting for device, connect usb cable now.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Frankie1588:
I'm a bit confused on how I can follow that process. After running the XZDR in command prompt, I have the following options:

2. Installation on ROM rooted with SuperUser

3. Installation on an unrooted (Lollipop 5.0) ROM using rootkitXperia

There is no option to install on a ROM rooted with KingRoot. How can I skip the step of getting SuperSU and installing XZDR?
