Hello Seal666,
If you have followed every step correctly, the only logic conclusion is that Doomlord's toolkit doesn't support your device and firmware. You can try a few other tools, and maybe Google a bit more. A few options are: http://srsroot.com, http://cydiaimpactor.com, and http://unlockroot.com.
Cheers, and good luck!

Make Sure USB Debugging is On

Everything was on, but thank You for replies I managed to unlock BL and root my Xperia J
Now I'm moving through this forum to learn about android theming rom's etc.
Thank once more!!

root for z3 Dual D6633 on MM ! SLOVED

Hello , i updated my D6633 for the last release 6.0.1 rolled out a few days ago .
is there any way to root it with easy steps ?

follow all the steps on this link
it will work for LP for MM i suggest you to download a custom rom
for rooting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056
for custom rom i suggest RXSW fully debloated one and supper fast and the battery life will increase by 1.5x or 2x
other than that fell free to see other custom rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development
and make sure it is for locked bootloader

i unlocked my bootloader

Root now is available with kingroot 4.90 on unlocked bootloader D6633 android 6.0.1

Rooting of Device / keeping OEM ROM

Hi XDA-Guys,
Simple question:
I want to root my device but keep my OEM ROM installed as I don't feel the need for a different one.
My Sony Xperia Z2 which I rooted 3 years ago without any backups or whatsever, lost the DRM keys of course and I don't want to lose them now on my Sony Xperia Z5 and thats why I'm asking for you help.
Is there any pre-caution I should be aware of? I just want my device rooted., no custom ROM or other stuff ^^
My Device: Sony Xperia Z5 Dual (E6633)
Android: 7.1.1
ROM: Stock OEM with DRM Keys
Regards,
Alex

Unfortunatell without unlock bootloader u can't root device. There is a long procedure. U need to read and do one by one.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/ftf-e66xx-patched-kernels-google-drive-t3688365

Your linked guide is not really helpful. I don't want a custom ROM and the guide does not state anything about saving DRM keys...

Xperia 5 root method?

No development for the Xperia 5?
Has anyone tried this root method from the Xperia 1?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-1/how-to/xperia-1-root-guide-t3938304/page9

Just wait for Sony to add it to the open device list. I did see a method on the Xperia 1 forum that claimed to work for both, but I'd be a little apprehensive at the moment

Xperia 5 is on the open device list now.
Let's hope working root method will be available soon.
