Is there anyway I can root my sony xperia z3 (running lollipop) without unlocking the bootloader so I don't lose the drm functions? Or can I unlock the bootloader and then restore the drm functions? Someone help.
Downgrade to .77 , use giefroot, and install a prerooted firmware
Better explanation please?

Hi friends, I have Z3 dual, D6633, but it has the a stock Chinese rom, I want to flash it with the stock euro rom, is there any flash method WITHOUT unlocking bootloader, I don't want to unlock that then relock,
any help will be appreciated
hi you can use flashtool without unlocking bootloader. simply find an ftf firmware here then flash it with flashtool. no need to unlock or root
thanks, that's what I was searching for
Hi, I'm on a .77 firmware and I need to go back to .93 (previous update in october). However, I do not want to unlock my bootloader as I will loose my DRM keys.
Is this possible to flash back to .77 on a locked boot loader?
Thanks

Not that easy.
I know that there is a way to unlock and then relock the bootloader, like decribed here: [ALL-IN-ONE][HOW-TO][D5803] Bootloader Unlock/Relock/Flash firmware/CWM Recovery/Root (Keep in mind that it's originally for the Z3 compact).
Usually you need an unlocked bootloader to flash a new firmware.
If you register on xda, you can ask in the Sony Xperia Z3 Help and Troubleshooting forum to get better answers from users having the same device like you.
Thread closed. Thank you.

As far as I'm aware the issue still stands of the stock camera not working with an unlocked bootloader.
Hi
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 Dual (D6633)
Android Lollipop 6.0.1 Build 23.5.A.0.570 ( Original-Stock firmware )
Locked bootloader
I want to root it without flashing any new firmware, and without unlocking the bootloader
Just Rooting
If someone can make a video explaining, I'm using the translate BR .
thanks
For now, there is no known way to root this firmware w/o unlocking bootloader. Best way to obtain root is to downgrade to KK, get Root and recovery, and then flash pre-rooted MM firmware. Here is very good tutorial for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056.
Also, I don't recommend to unlock the bootloader. bacause you'll get almoust only downsides.
Hey!
How can I root my Z5 which has a LOCKED BOOTLOADER. I don`t want to unlock the phone, did that with my Z2 and wasn`t worth it until the final Android Version has arrived.
Specs:
Z5 E6653
32.2.A.0.305 / R9C STOCK
Locked Bootloader
No Recovery
you only can get not full function root with LB, but you can use it to backup your TA.img, then you can unlock your BL, when you want drm back, you just restore them
