[Q] Xperia Z3 (Rooted TW) Mirrorlink Issue - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everyone,
When connecting the phone to USB Mirrorlink device in my car XAV-601BT I get an error on the phone saying Unknown USB Error and the screen does not mirror.
I have looked up and down the forums for a solution to this particular problem to no avail.
Here are the necessary facts
My Xperia Z3 is Rooted (TeamWin) with Bootloader unlocked which I understands affect some functionalities that require certain DRM Licensing
One of those functionalities is Mirrorlink which you guys have already provided a ported APK that works fine on rooted Xperia Z and Z2 (or any phone running Android 4.4.2) but not the Z3 (possibly because it uses Andriod 4.4.4)
Has anyone come across a solution for this or was able to get it to work without unrooting the phone?
I would appreciate any help you can give me
Regards
Rami

[Q] Sony Xperia Z3 Root

Hey devs I really need your help to root my Sony Xperia Z3 (D6653) I've been googling for days and cannot find a single thread or YT Vid on what to do, I've rooted multiple phones before without any problem but it's seemingly more difficult on Xperia devices. I am currently running the firmware version "23.0.1.A.5.77" on 4.4.4 KitKat and from what I've gathered that version isn't supported but needs to be downgraded to "#.#.#.A.#.93" then re-upgraded to .77
I've heard about how rooting Z3's will result in losing DRM keys, now I am not sure what that means or how I'm meant to back it up so that I don't lose camera quality, that's the last thing I want! I've also read about these elusive .ftf files that I need to somehow flash to my Z3 but I can't find anywhere to download said files. I have downloaded FlashTools, AndroidTools, Giefroot and XperiaFirm but there are no adequate walkthroughs that help me with my specific version of phone. I know it's mainly because my phone has a bootlocker but I do know that it is unlockable so at least I got that going for me :good: I have however seen the video by WWJoshDew for rooting Z3 and he seems to fix his locked bootloader but he doesn't give enough information as to how. I really need a proper guide/walthrough on how to root my Xperia Z3 D6653 on .77
any help is appreciated!

[Q] Detailed way to upgrade to lollipop

I got the phone very recently, been using a rooted Sony Walkman Live for years, so I am kinda habituated to rooted devices. But, I bricked the HTC trying to root it (probably wiped system by mistake when trying to fix the root, it was showing no os installed). Now thanks to the master thread of RUU,TWRP,OTA I got the phone working, but had to downgrade it to android 4.4.2 using TWRP backup. The root wasn't working on lollipop but seem to be working fine now and all, but I want to upgrade to lollipop. What's the best way to do it because I can't risk bricking the phone again. So a detailed direction is welcomed. Thank you all

D6603 Lollipop Root

Hey everyone,
I just got my Xperia and am loving the device itself, but I definitely would like to root to get rid of a lot of the bloatware. The only problem is that I've heard rooting loses the custom Sony camera software, and I'm on Lollipop so I'm not sure if that affects it. I've looked at some root threads but none seem to apply to my firmware.
Android Ver: 5.0.2
Firmware: 23.1.A.0.726
Any help or pushes in the right direction are very appreciated.
Thanks!
you can use kingroot iirc but I dont recommend it due to it sending your IMEI number to an unknown IP address in china... I would honestly just say to flash an older firmware and do the locked bootloader root :/

Rooting Xperia L4 (+ custom rom)

Hi everyone, i'm looking for a way to root my xperia L4 but i found nothing. I tried kingoroot but it didn't work, screen displays "root failed" both with the PC software and with the apk. And for custom roms, is there anyone existing for this device ? I'd like to install android 11 on it, but whatever i search there is no results for this model particulary (LineageOS or others). Many thanks for your help.
