What roms will work with the Japanese version of the z3? Specifically for the carrier AU. When I go to model number under settings it says SOL26.

I live in Japan and have the same model. As you said its the Xperia Z3 for Japan and unfortunately it can't be unlocked and is therefore unrootable at present so there are no roms that can be loaded on it. The likelihood of finding some way to unlock it and root it are very very slim.

Really would like to root the SOL26 but still have doubts (DRM Key worries...etc.).
Again, big thanks!
I think the first link you provided is the same way in Here
and the 2nd one is how to unlock sol26 with NSCK code.
the 2nd link and the 1st one is total different.
for evidencing, just look at attachement. Hope this to encourage you

Thanks for the encouragement. I was pretty sure the second link was an unlock key for a Docomo-brand SOL26 so was hesitant to use that key.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we have the same model and carrier (AU-KDDI?) :highfive:
So, you're recommending that first link root method? If I'm hearing that guy correctly he's rooting without unlocking the bootloader which sounds good to me.
Apparently I can keep my DRM keys and everything else intact by rooting that way. I'm not really interested in trying out new roms or anything (did enough of that when
I still had my HTC Desire HD ) so it seems like the best way to go. I'd be more than grateful for any more advice you can give about rooting our model and again huge
thanks for all your help. If you're ever in Kyoto I'll buy you a beer!

Yes, I've got SOL26 too
Sure, you can root without unlock bootloader (I wonder how to unlock it because that's impossible with AU-KDDI or carrier model when unlock bootloader status allow = No)
Because you do not unlock bootloader, so no harm to your DRM key.
You must follow as the guide to root because you cannot root directly with AU-KDDI firmware.
By the way, I'm not in Kyoto but in Ho Chi Minh

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

Flash an insecure kernel from the development section
look for advanced stock kernel....
If you have unlocked then it is SOOOOOOo easy to root....
EDIT
Say goodbye to your DRM keys though, if you unlock before rooting you will never see them again. You may want to look in the cross device development section to see the thread about restoring DRM functionality.

Hi Guys,
I'm new to this whole Android tech stuff, but recently I decided to try cyanogenmod on my Xperia L device. But the thing is that the Bootloader access is restricted by default, so I can't install it. Can you show me any Custom Roms that don't need the Bootloader to be unlocked? Or if there is a way to unlock the Bootloader, even if unlocking is not allowed on my phone?
Thank you in advance!
There is no way to install custom rom without unlocking bootloader.and yes our device(Xperia L) is unlockbale.

Best is you test the 24h demo version before you flash the fullversion

yes , but you must deodex your rom.
And if you want to install recovery without unlocking try this one out:

If your bootloader status is unlock not allowed,you can try the ROMs which are for locked bootloader otherwise you can unlock your bootloader can flash any rom
