I have not yet done it but as soon as they release a recovey ROM, I will try all the old things in case something might work.

I just followed the guide for z3c, it accepted my IMEI. But as already stated, you can now unlock OEM for all z5 models. Here is the link: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/. I don't know if it worked because when I started my phone again, it rested to it's original state and I had restore from a backup.

EDIT:

I want to try this but as you said, I need a recovery ROM first.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] itaq:
I'm still new to the whole Sony Xperia world, please correct me if I am wrong but would not this be the place to look for ROMs? http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/supported_phones/

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] michal89chz:
Guys help please. When I check in service menu there is ,,bootloader unlockable: NO''

I need to have root. If I use this guide ( http://unlock-bootloader.net/how-to/unlock-bootloader-sony-xperia-z5-compact/ ) it will unlock bootloader? Also, there is NO in service menu but I have code from sony to unlock from their website/email. Help?

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] aidy.lucas:
If it says bootloader unlock allowed: NO there is absolutely nothing you can do to change it to bootloader unlock allowed:YES it's impossible. Only way is to change your z5 for another one that says bootloader unlock allowed: YES

Having a unlock code from sony won't make any difference either
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] michal89chz:
Any chance for root with blocked bootloader in near future? :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] YwaFTW:
That is something we are all hoping for! There'll be a way to root eventually. Just needs time.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] celderic:
Possibly but I don't see why anybody would want to do that, because you wouldn't be able to run TWRP, flash a different kernel or anything really.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] williamgrant:
Me too... But I think the lollipop line is dead. The customization is horrible, extreme battery drain, etc. I hope, the Sony sw developers focus to the Marshmallow project.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualJoe:
Did you restart after KIES de-installation? Was USB driver successfully missing (so you had to install one manually for ODIN)? If not, you probably still have drivers/files running from KIES.

Otherwise, try a different computer to double check its not the system.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you originally updated to Android 4.4.x or later on this device, you cannot install 4.3.x or lower as Knox within the bootloader will actively prevent Odin from functioning. As to Odin, make sure you're using the original cable, are not using a hub, have Kies disabled or uninstalled, and use a different USB port. Odin sometimes is picky about the ports it uses.

If you can get the ROM issue resolved, use CF-Autoroot to root, keeping in mind that you will trip the Knox flag in doing so. Towelroot and other one-click root methods don't work on your device.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evbenji:
FIXED IT!!!!!!! :laugh::silly::eek::cool::good::cyclops::p

Moved all operations to a different PC running XP with no kies on it

The error still occurred "write fail"

So instead i tried Odin 3.09 instead of 3.07 but most of all

i changed usb cables,

found an original cable off my mates Nokia

then boom!!! she starting writing!!! :D

Thankyou so much you legends, you are now my best friends forever!!!

Strangely the new flash, all my old previous data & apps are still on there??? somehow the network is not locked either which i was fearing being a vodafone ROM

still want to root it though :p
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Flashing a ROM through Odin doesn't wipe the data partition, which is why your apps are untouched.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshag:
I picked up a used tablet from a friend who had a tablet stuck in reboot..

it's a AT&T tablet that he tried to root..

SKU 6619A (10+ inch)

I'd like to just use ODIN and wipe the whole tablet and start over with root and a custom recovery/basic rom. I'm new to this brand of tablet.. but I imagine TWRP works or something similar.

Suggestions on the version (and link) of Odin I should use and the best ROM that will give me a basic load, custom recovery and latest version of Android would be appreciated.

I can't boot into the OS.. so using some of those tools isn't an option at this time.

I'm not going to be using ATT network for anything (the SIM card is actually removed). I just want wifi access on it. I'm not going to use any service provider. I could probably take it to a ATT store, but since I'm not using their network (I use sprint) I'm not sure if they'll want to charge me to wipe/reload it, if they'll do it at all.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] DeerDance:
It's a real shame

Correctomunod!

Yeah, I just spent the past 3 days looking into rooting my new S6.

I got it barely a week ago and I was really excited to finally have a phone I could root, only to learn that I got the first new phone that you can't. I might have had a chance to keep 5.0.2? Whatever, but by the time I synced by Google account, I found out I had the 5.1.1 version, with no way to go back.

More experienced users, please correct me here. I am largely posting this to consolidate what I've gathered.

As I understand it, 5.1.1 prevents a clean downgrade to any other Android OS by just not allowing the option.

When I went to turn off automatic software updates, I was faced with an option to check for updates, or go "take a hike" per se. It seems like you may be able to flash a version that can be rooted for the AT&T version (G920A), but you trip the KNOX security thing which will void your warranty. From what I can see, a lot of people are just deciding to go without root, or go without the phone. I have seen a thread or 2 (out of DOZENS on this) that say methods may be in the works, but everyone seems too afraid to try anything.

Keep in mind that I say methods for a reason. Nothing seems to be cut and dry for us as AT&T users to begin with, but this 5.1.1 update when downloaded OTA and all legit and whatnot is a real death sentence for those looking to root.

I'm keeping my eyes and ears open for news, but we're going to have a while to wait before we get to join the fun.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s8freak:
Yep agreed and that's why I just bought a new international 6plus Edge and selling my G925A

Once you've taken the 5.1.1 OTA update on either the G925A or the G920A that's it there's no downgrading or going back.

I don't doubt that it works based on the number of posts. It appears that an "official" samsung signed, engineering kernel was leaked which allows for system-less root (you still can't modify system on 5.1 without a modded kernel which isn't an option on a locked bootloader). There is at least one service out there on craigslist using that kernel to remotely root and sim unlock. More power to them...
