There's no recovery available for this model with locked bootloader. Could anyone please make a recovery or at least point me towards a right direction to make it?
There's one for D2303 but I'm afraid i might brick my phone.

Has anyone had any success in rooting Sony Xperia Z3 D6633 dual sim?
I don't want to install custom ROMs or kernels, just rooting.
I installed a custom ROM on the Z1 and it turned it into a brick.
.....Also, is there a way to add permissions to use sd card without rooting? (android 4.4.4)
You cant root it without unlocking BL.
Be advised, unlocking BL will wipe your DRM and it camera will be worst.
Thanks, i don't want to unlock BL. Just rooting
probably just have to wait a little longer until somebody figures out how to do it.
Hope they will solve it soon! Going to buy a Z3 Dual in a few weeks!
Ive found on few sites that my Sony Xperia M2 D2303 with Kitkat should be 18.3.C.0.37 but mine software version is 18.3.1.C.0.21.
Why is it like this? Is there something wrong with my device, is it fully updated to last software version or not?
Also ive checked bootloader unlock status and it says Not allowed.
In the official Sony site ive seen a text that says: "Important note! In order to unlock your Xperia™ M2 you need to be on software version 18.3.C.0.37." - which is different then mine.
I also checked for any updates but there is nonne showing in my sony app.
How can i solve this?
Thanks in advance.

Different terms, different topics.
Let's see, .21 build version number means 4.4.4 KitKat (most updated version of KitKat).
If the unlock allowed device says No, it means you have the SIM Locked, so, you need to contact your carrier provider in order to unlock it and change the status to "yes", so, you could unlock your bootloader without any troubles in the process
Official Sony says you need to be in 4.4.2 or higher build number version, it's not stated you need to be in .37 build number.
Note: 4.4.2 (is precisely .37 build number, but, still .21 or higher works fine with the unlocking).
Regards!
i know its a bit turn off the topic, but while im still here let me ask - Does anyone know is Lolipop gonna come out for M2 or not?
There have been many different statements about this so id like to know once for all, is it or not?

No. It ain't confirmed yet. In some point might show up for our device. But right now there's no confirmation. Just OmniROM, CyanogenMod 12 and FXP AOSP.
If your bootloader unlock allowed says no. Then there is nothing you can do to unlock it. Not even network unlocking your phone will change that. To get bootloader unlock allowed yes buy sim free unlocked device. Most carriers lock down bootloaders hope this answers your questions

But ive hear many times people are "decoding" their phones in order to get SIM free device, why cant i do it?
And is there a way to root my device without unlocking bootloader?
To root you need to search on here plenty of easy to follow tutorials on how to root for locked and unlocked bootloaders.

Under what assumptions you say that? Topics before some guy said that he unlocked its device changing the status of its SIMLock with some code to unlock it. The carrier locks down your phone via SIM, but it doesn't mean you can't unlock it forever. If you "free" it, the problem must be solved. The guy I'm talkin' about, unlock two devices using the same method I'm sayin' here, and the two of them went fine. So, just try. The carrier shouldn't show any troubles in order to disable the SIMLock, it's your right, in fact.
So basically I want to root my phone.
As mentioned in the title above, this phone of mine exists nowhere as per MY knowledge in being root-able.
This phone was able to be rooted in lower versions. Now I don't think it exists.
1) THE OFFICIAL SONY SITE, won't let me unlock the bootloader.
2) Without unlocking the bootloader I THINK I won't be able to flash a custom ROM.
3) I need help with this.
-Unlocking the bootloader.
-Rooting it
-Getting the best custom rom
-MAYBE being able to use Nougat.
So can anyone on this website kindly help me?
I am a noob and am pretty new, so my knowledge is low, but I am looking forward to root this device now.
Regards
Hi guys,
I have bought C6603 prototype (locked bootloader, no root). Do you anyone know how to remove prototype mode? I would like to stay on locked bootloader
I have flashed by flashtool succesfully just D6603_Customized CE1_1288-7914_23.5.A.1.291_R2D or sometimes D6603_23.0.A.2.93_R11B_SE_1289, all other ROMs stuck just on xperia logo bootloop.
(Xperia companion repair shows just error and I have no other solution how to fix bootloop)
I also tried root system (by giefroot-3,3.1, kingoroot(.apk or .exe), Xperia Z3 Rooting Package .291 all wihout any success) to install recovery and mount rw system partition.
Can anybody give me an advice?
Isnt a c6603 a z1 not a z3?

nono Z3 D6603, thanks!
I also got an Xperia Z3 that was popping up a message that it was a prototype, but I can root it just like any Z3. I also managed to unlock its bootloader with the normal method, but it was saying "Rooting Status: Unknown". I installed a ROM that didn't require an unlocked BL tho' and it was all fine. I'm sort of afraid of installing a ROM that needs an unlocked BL just 'cause the phone ends up telling me that the Rooting Status is Unknown.
Edit: To clarify better, my phone was always saying that the BL could be unlocked. It's not like I tried to unlock it even though it was saying that it wasn't possible to do so.
Hello, I have a Xperia Z3 D6603 running 23.5.A.1.291 . When I do *#*#SERVICE#*#*, it clearly shows "Bootloader unlock allowed: NO"
However, I was able to flash TWRP and ROOT following the procedure below:
Recovery and Root for MM .575/.291 LB/UB
This is a port of the original tool by russel5 from the Z3C forums I have added support for Z3 D6603, D6653, D6633, D6646 and D6643. PROCEDURE * Update to .291 as usual via OTA from Sony or flashing directly. * Make sure you have ADB set up...
forum.xda-developers.com
I guess for the procedure above, the fact that the bootloader is still locked is not a dependency.
Now the question is, since I got TWRP and ROOT (but bootloader is still LOCKED), is it possible at all now, to flash a custom ROM such as Lineage?
Thank you in advance for whoever can shed some light on this....really appreciate it.
p.s. The very upper portion of the LCD does not work for some reason like many others have reported, hence pulling down the notification bar is not working anymore. It works, however, when the screen is in a different orientation, say horizontal. The main reason I want to flash a custom ROM, is to verify if this is a ROM related issue, or it's purely hardware damage. If someone happen to have any insight on this, please shed some light too ...deeply appreciated.
No you cant flash other ROM without unlocked bootloader but if you are flashed TWRP you can try flash ROM but that can brick your phone
