Hello
I want 23.0.A.2.93 ftf pre-rooted for my D6653 LB Xperia Z3
I'm sure it's also so much useful to everyone and not sure If it's possible to make pre-rooted FTF and flash it via PC
I hope it's possible

That's impossible to make a pre rooted ftf.
You can make a pre rooted flashable zip but what's the point of making a 93 one? You have to be in that firmware to root.
You need a pre rooted version of the latest firmware to upgrade to.
You will have to root on 93 and install recovery yourself. It is only a 5 minute job to do.
You can also make your item pre rooted firmware using PRFcreator in about 7 minutes, just Google it

you're right mate
I asked for pre-rooted ftf because I failed to root it via Giefroot many times...
If you use the FTF mentioned in the threads, then following all the instructions, making sure you have the three options selected on the ROM. Also ensure you have the drivers installed correctly for your computer. If you are using windows 8 or later then you need to reboot into a special mode to install the untrusted drivers. You may need to do it two or more times before it sticks.
To be completely honest I have had more problems with installing recoveries, but got that down now.

I would love to achieve root without unlocking the BL. Like it is described in this post for the Z1.
The idea would be to flash the FTF for the (stock) JB kernel with Flashtool, apply Easyroot and then flash back the original kernel. At least on the Z1 it seems to work.
I would be willing to try, I just don't know how to get the FTF with the two kernels. Hopefully this shouldn't delete any data either and the root might stick with any future KitKat OTA updates. Does anyone know how to get a copy of the FTF for the D2303 JB and 18.3.1.C.0.21 kernels?

To get FTF for 2303 JB version, please look at the forum, maybe someone has posting FTF files for 4.3 android version.
For 18.3.1.C.0.21 kernel, you can obtain that from FTF 18.3.1.C.0.21, but only flash kernel. Don't wipe data and exlude anything except Kernel in flashtool while flashing.
Maybe you should try XperiFirm for download FTF files.

Ok, thanks. But all JB links I've found are dead. Still is it actually possible with Flashtool to just flash the kernel(s) from the whole ROM without wiping anything? That would be great.
My issue right now is that I can't find any active link to the JB ROM. Also I nearly finished my monthly Internet traffic quota already. And I don't have a Windows PC either (I use OSX). So if anyone with the ROMs and the right skills could make the kernel only FTFs I would really appreciate it.

Actually i have found one 4.3 FTF firmware. It's for D2303 and i have flashed only jb kernel on 4.4.2 but it's not working. After Sony logo, phone only switches on/off so you can't get to bootanimation even. If you have any idea tell me im going to test it. What we need is patched 4.4.2 kernel which we are going to push su file and then flash our original kernel.
Well my model is D2306, and I did the following:
1 - Flash JB ftf, root with towelroot and install SuperSU from playstore (dont update binary)
2- Update through OTA (Update Center) to KK 4.4.2, and then to 4.4.4.
3- Through flashtool, apply root via towelroot again, after reboot, install SuperSU to /system.
And now I'm rooted with locked BL. Try yourself.

Yea, that's working for D2303 too, but is little boring. So everytime when you going to brick your phone while changing build.prop for example or something like that you have to repeat that process and with this idea (just changing the kernles) could be great because it takes less time and it's easier.

So how does it work? After downgrading to 4.3 it gets two OTAs? I think the trick updating with OTAs works because the OTAs must just do an incremental install. Still i can't afford to do it every time, due to my network cap restriction (I know. It feels like living in Neanderthal).
Just wondering if the Lolipop update brings any updates to the baseband radio and bootloader etc?
If so - anyone know if there is a way to upgrade these without OTA or Flashtool upgrade, I'm using Rooted LB and will need to use a pre-rooted FTF

There is no such thing as a pre-rooted FTF
What you need is a flashable zip and there are plenty in the development section
Sorry, pre-rooted created from FTF
either way OP still unanswered.
Hi all
I have searched for a long time about rooting my device, but i found nothing
I have Sony Xperia Z3 Dual (D6633) with android 5.1.1 build 23.4.A.1.232 and locked bootloader.
So, I need to root it or install a pre-rooted stock firmware without touching the bootloader.
Hi, you need to flash a kitkat rom with flashtool then root with giefroot. (I'm not sure about other rooting methods but this is the safest way IMO.)
After it got rooted, install a recovery so you can flash pre-rooted stock firmware or whatever you want. Remember to backup TA partition.
I had D6633 before and worked perfectly.
I have posted this before but you can go directly to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056

As far as I know, stock roms with stock kernel don't need bootloader to be unlocked. You need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash custom kernel and aosp stuffs.
tl;dr, if you are not gonna use custom kernel and aosp stuffs your bootloader can remain locked.
Ok, if you want to install moonbreakers, here's what I did when I first bought the device. I never unlock my bootloader.
1. Prepare the tools and root the device using Giefroot. and I recommend you to backup TA partition first just in case.
2.Install dual recovery.
3.Now that you have a working recovery you can flash any stock roms.
here's the guide by G-FACE.
if you want to unlock the bootloader remember to backup TA partition before you do it. If it's lost you can't get it back.

First of all, thanks for your help
Well i'm not professional, I only understand the rooting process.
But I have some questions:
1- can I make a ftf file as a backup from my exist firmware, so when I decide to reverse the whole process and return my device back to its original state, without losing anything?
2- What is the recovery, is that recovery has any disadvantage or negatively affect my device?
3- I didn't find a firmware 23.4.A.1.232 with the same customization version which is 1288-7361_R3C
So I was on a rooted 5.1.1 with XZDualRecovery and I decided I wanted to use the Marshmallow Concept firmware and wanted to create a prerooted one using PRFCreator but now after having flashed it, my Xperia doesn't want to boot into it anymore. It just starts with the this red led and then reboots after a couple of secs. I can boot it into freeboot and make Sony Flasher recognize it that way but I have no idea how to proceed from there. Any help please?

You cant create a pre rooted version of the concept. You can only get root on concept with an unlocked boot.
I have no idea what you mean by freeboot.
Just use flashtool to flash a stock ftf for your device and start again, but don't flash the prerooted concept rom you created again

Thanks I just found that out as well. So unlocked bootloader is the only way to root? No way to do it via XZDualRecovery then?
Thanks again!

Yes, on the concept ROM you have to unlock the bootloader to root.
As for using dual receovery, not on the concept rom. And to have XZDualRecovery you have to be rooted first (Unless you are on a really old firmware that the installer can gain root access on via an old exploit)
Does the Pre-rooted concept include XZ-DualRecovery? Case it included and cause boot loop, try with Pre-rooted concept (system rooted only) without XZ-DualRecovery. After flash Pre-rooted concept, DO NOT reboot but TURN IT OFF. Then flash other stuffs of the concept with flashtool except system. It may help to get concept rooted but not XZ-DualRecovery.
I wish to try this but I have only T-Mobile carrier.
I'm using a Z3 Dual (D6633)
I saw this while im surfing in xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/recovery-root-mm-575-291-lb-t3435214
But i need to know this...
Im in .291 build right now. But this post tells "if you are on .291 flash .575 kernel". Is that ok? Flashing a different build number kernal ? will it work or will it ruin my phone?
Quite Easy, just follow these steps and download some files;
1. Download D6633_23.0.F.1.74 Kitkat firmware and flash via flashtool,
2. Then download GIEFROOT ROOT and root Kitkat with GIEFROOT,
3. Download XZ DUAL RECOVERY for Z3, and Install recovery via PC,
4. After installing recovery, download flashable .291 MM Update and flash it through recovery!!!
5. Hurrah!!! Enjoy the newly rooted device!!!
*Search on XDA for necessary file or, ask me.
I think flasing prerooted rom is more easy.
