Hello everyone,
I recently bought a Z3 D6643 (build 23.0.A.2.106) that is marketed in Brazil by Claro Telco with DTV (1-seg) receiver. How should I proceed with bootloader unlocking and rooting? I mean, is there anything that affects this specific model regarding BL unlocking and/or rooting? Am I stuck with my stock ROM because of the DTV tuner specifics, or any ROM is supposed to support it?
This is my first Xperia, so I'm a little lost here.
Thanks in advance,
I have no idea whether or not the D6643 can be rooted, as I wasn't actually aware of this particular variant. I do know, however, that you can check whether or not your bootloader can be unlocked by checking the service menu. Enter this code in your dialer:

There's still not a lot of talk about this specific variant since it's only available in Brazil (as far as I know). I have been lurking around here trying to find more information as well (I have one Vivo branded) and from what I can tell you can install the generic D6603 firmwares on it and you only lose the DTV. There's a specific thread regarding bootloader unlocking and rooting but you need to be aware that at this moment this means that you lose your DRM keys if you unlock. So read more about it and make an informed decision if you decide to go ahead because at this moment it's not reversible.
I bought this variant too (but still time to get D6633 dual since I didn't received yet) . My concern is about CM, will FreeXperiaProject be targeted for all variants or only D6603? Any hint about that @jerpelea ? thanks
hey conterraneos,
looking at the white paper by sony, it appears this D6643 is the D6653 with TV funcionality. As the D6653 is widely available, i'm fairly sure that most of the custom rom projects will be compatible with it, and we'll be missing the .apk executable for the TV.
however, when we get to the point where custom roms are available we will hopefully have root already (w/o losing DRM keys that is), and we'll be able to pull the DTV apk from the original Sony firmwares and inject it in any rom that we want. I believe that as long as your kernel supports the TV Tuner (in which case the stock obviously does) all you need is the TV app itself. Many other brazilian variants of flagship phones have TV as well, does anyone here have a past experience on this matter? I'm a user that has just seen the light and will switch from Apple now, so not a lot of Android experience apart from my HP TouchPad tablet.

Thank you for the service menu code, it shows that the bootloader can be unlocked.

I've read some threads and ppl saying that there's an official and an unofficial (Test Point, link below) method for unlocking BL. Using the unofficial would preserve the DRM keys, unfortunately it seems to involve physical wiring so I will not go through that way, at least for now.

So, do you think the D6653 kernel supports the DTV tuner? If so, just pulling the original TV apk would be great.
Thank you guys for all the feedback. I'm in love with Z3! :silly:

The kernel will remain your stock D6643 one. The ROM that would be one for the D6653. It's just a matter of finding out where the drivers for the TV Tuner are located. I would assume they're kernel-based, but I might be wrong. Again, this is my first Android handset, so I'm just speaking on an engineer's PoV.

I hear that Sony sells D6643 unbranded via website and stores but also distributes branded ones for carriers. I'm looking for the customizations codes for the unbranded, but since it is about $200 expensive via website, it's hard to find one. Do you think you can get this info?

Hey guys, just got mine but the build number is 23.0.A.2.106. Maybe I can use the same as the final 105?
Btw I can't find the DTV app too, I only have the one that works in the remote control. I really wants to root the phone because I bought it from Claro, and there's a lot of apps I want to take it off.

Hi guys,
Just to let you know, I had successfuly managed to root my D6643 with King Root app. From there I installed XZDualRecovery and now I'm good to go without unlocking the bootloader.
Well, title pretty much says it all... Is there a root method available with a locked bootloader and no custom recovery yet? I'm not too keen on unlocking it and flashing cwm. Why? Cause pretty much everything that I do apply to the same rule: Murphy's law. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. So I'm just hoping that there's a simple root method that doesn't involve what I mentioned above.
Sorry @PJMOR for now there isnt a way to root our devices without unlocking the bootloader i tryed a lot of software and just gave up ... If you have time just try all kind of rooting software that could be a way.
Shame... Well, I'll just root this one when it is no longer my primary phone.

If you can unlock it then unlock and root.
Warranty is not that big deal. But check your phone for problems and after sony solved them all then unlock it.

Will unlocking it actually allow bootloader unlock to switch from no to yes? I heard it often remains locked because of the carrier

If you want to unlock phone, never ever buy carrier branded sony phone,s
Actually phone is permenent locked by carrier.
I seen that even flashing non carrier ftf file phone stays like that.
Carrier modded phone,s are locked by ta partation i think. Because bootloader is same for both.
BTW,
Why can,t we make fake ftf file.

I've seen it somewhere on github, that Sony uses some unique siganture verfication of whatever, and it isn't a thing that a developer can discover and use.

I,ve seen whenever i flash ftf there is a file called loader.sin which is flashed even if we only want to flash single partation.
Maby he wont get sacked if he just revail the secret in PM.
Does sony pack every partation.sin with some trick or it is loader.sin which send information about size of partation or something else.

It simply came to the price, the price difference between carrier and unlocked was a 3rd more so budget restraint forced me to have a carrier branded although wont be doing it again as I need root. I'm even considering replacing it completely due to no current root possibility.

I bought my E3 from Vodafone, but it is "almost" uncustomized and bootloader unlockable.
Ok guys, I have some good news. In the last days I had access to a Xperia E3 dual (the D2212 variant) and after some digging I found a FTF with an old enough kernel, one that should be compatible with giefroot. I contacted @zxz0O0 and he provided me a new version of getroot (the main component from giefroot) and it successfully got root access but failed in the last part of the exploit (actually installing SuperSU to system partition) due the Sony protections built into the kernel (yes, that damn ric thing).
After messing up a little, I managed to get SuperSU install working, so, in other words, my brother is now using a fully rooted Xperia E3 dual, with locked bootloader! Since it involves modifying giefroot package in a way that may make it incompatible with currently supported devices (Xperia Z3 series, etc), I'm waiting for @zxz0O0 approval and permission before releasing this modified giefroot version, but in the meantime I'm preparing some tutorials and required FTFs in order to get the exploit running and then updating to the latest firmware without losing root access, but I'm too excited and needed to share this with someone!
Note: at the moment this works only with the MSM8226 variants (D2202, D2212), but I'm working with @zxz0O0 in order to provide support for MSM8926 variants (D2203, D2206, D2243) as well. Stay tuned

I remember this method was on 2010 devices, but I haven't seen it on any other devices, so I assume it's not possible. If it was possible, someone would already make a guide or sth.

You can try it, but beware of malware, this page doesn't seem much legit.
Our device seems to be toughly resilient...

Hello there!
I have bad news... As you saw in the title, there won't be any official release of Lollipop for any NON-Xperia Z range smartphone, like M2, M2 Aqua, E1, E3, T2, T3, C3, etc...
Here the proofs:
And this is happening while the Moto G is updating to Lollipop officially via OTA.. Good job Sony, you did it again! :good:
If the confirmation isn't revoked. Mmm, they're pushing us to buy Xperia M4 Aqua instead or a Z series. Which isn't an option for everyone. This is bull****.
Either way, the work which galaxyfreak, erickas and FXP are doing is amazing. They aren't leaving us without any hope xD. Thanks to them :3.

Yeah, that's absolutely right, but a rom without camera or with random reboots it's not stable for daily use rom... That's why I went back to stock, I couldn't use the phone normally with that..

Totally right. But, the progress they've made is fairly enough. Camera is a pain in the ass, we all know that, but, still, the development makes some good progresses. So, still waiting. In some point they'll make it.
Sorry for asking!
Can you provide link where you found it?
They force us to buy much expensive Xperia Z series phones because of lollipop!!!!!
Screw you Sony
But I still have a hope, because M4 have lollipop(M4 does not belongs into Z series)
I also I hope for FXP team, ericas and galaxyfreak for Stable release... Keep the good work up (Y)
I would like to help them, but lack of skills and knowledge I can only hope
Maybe CM team take it their offical list...I hope!

Been saying it since they confirmed it in a email almost 5mth ago but no one would have it. I was considering buying a second Sony device and a Sony smart watch to go with my m2. Don't think I'll bother now or if I do may have to consider another brand. also surely there is still 6mths of the 18mth update cycle left to run

Check in the screenshots that the kernel is from Dec 2014... IMO, that was actually a test to see how lollipop performed in mid-range phone. Maybe the experiment went wrong and that's why they are now telling via twitter there won't be lollipop for us... That's what I understand from this situation..
Edit: Also, still no new firmware certidied for Xperia C3..

True, that's why ppl with Xperia SP scream in agony when they heard M2 is getting Kitkat, not SP
I've heard that french local authority can pursue a company who are setting voluntary a planned obsolescence, so why not using that against sony?
Sony did stopped the update, so that obsolescence, since Lollipop is here....
thats for cases when the company includes something in the device which stops it from operating. a phone with an old android version is still a working phone
Well, i think this news will make you happier guys!

This does not solve the lack of official Lollipop release for M2

Not exactly. Now the kernel and recovery have different partitions so even if you flash a new kernel it wont affect your recovery.
You have to separately flash kernel and recovery from now on. Which really simplifies the flashing procedure and makes it even more safe.
This type of partition exists in almost all the phones you get from other brands, glad that Sony has adapted to it.

Not exactly. Now the kernel and recovery have different partitions so even if you flash a new kernel it wont affect your recovery.
You have to separately flash kernel and recovery from now on. Which really simplifies the flashing procedure and makes it even more safe.

Is there a way how to revert back to old bootloader? I've forgot to flash stock before the new bootloader, device is not booting, now I'm gonna flash stock (downloading ). I hope the device will wake up...
Btw what would happen if I restored DRM keys?
hey @jerpelea Upload FTF file of new bootloader. my varriant is not compatable with sony flash tool. i want to use unofficial fashtool.
I installed the bootloader with the flash of sony "Emma", restart the phone only black screen and after a long wait I install the firmware FTF with Flashtool unofficial.
will anything change? Signal strength is bad, wrapped also absent
It's available on the D2203
Did anyone apply this thing?? Is it stable ??

Question is, what inside the box for Singapore users? Device is F8332 XZ Dual. I purchased online and found something strange until I questioned about the genuinity of my device.
Mine got earphone MH750 and standard charger UCH20.
Is the SG version really get that straight from the box? Thanks.
Ur not the only one buddy...I got the same ****y earphones like u and same charger as u...earphones are the same since Xperia z3...dont know why Sony made a decision like that ,probably to cut the cost of the phone and so on...it s a shame that firms like Samsung gives u Hi-end earphone while we get a 3 year old earphones on xperias.... THANKS Sony thats all i can say.
Thanks for the information man. So you also got in ear earphone MH750 and standard charger UCH20 right? One more, can you please help me take screenshot of *#*#7378423#*#* then service test then security? My XZ Dual didn't have Marlin Keys and has Factory Data Reset: Masterclearconfirm status. I'm afraid this is not genuinely new device and might complain to the seller.
Thanks in advance.
