how to make root on d2303?
I think people wants to make root without unlock bootloader.
So actually, there's no solution..... you must unloack your bootloader or wait

ok dude
have you tried frama root
Hi,
Big problem..... I've got a D2303, unlock bootloader is OK, CWM and supersu flashed.
Root is done on my system but, I'can't mount the system with read/write permission..... so, no busybox, no xposed.....
Titanium back up works very well (restoring my app right now)
Anybody got an idea of what happen ?
if this works for d2305? i want UBL and deodex it
have you try vroot?
vroot did not work

Any app that accesses the system (busybox, exposed ect.) Must be flashed via recovery. This method works fine on my device. Although each time the recovery must be flashed and once the appropriate apps are flashed, must be the stock kernel flashed via flash tool again, but this is at the moment the only way to get a system with the appropriate apps and root privileges!
sorry for the bad english

Your post raised a few questions:
1. Did you root your D2303 running Android 4.4.2? How?
2. What recovery did you flash? Where did you find it? Did you use one dedicated to D2302 or D2305?
Many thanks for your clarifications

Probably never, because it's easier to downgrade, root, install recovery and flash a prerooted lollipop rom than to try and find another exploit in lollipop

Never? I just did root with a custom kernel which included TWRP, and from TWRP I flashed SuperSU update the latest version, and voila.,.rooted and Xposed working.
By the way, I managed to fix the issues, it was not because the Xposed was in alpha stage, because that is the only Xposed for Lollipop, it was because I had an old TWRP.
So now I am rooted and all working good.
So you can root Lollipop without downgrading or flashing a ftf.
P.S. Ofcourse, with an unlocked bootloader.
Even if the downside of unlocking is losing the DRM Keys, well don't worry about it, the camera takes beautiful photos even so.
as you said you have to unlock the bootloader for that, not everyone wants to do that
Yes, as the op used pccompanion they obviously had a locked bootloader, hence my answer based on the fact he had a locked bootloader
Hi Awesome People...
I know its early to be asking this, but then again when is the right time to ask lol
Just updated to 5.1.1 and obviously lost my Root Access, is there any way to root it again at this time?
And no I dont want to flash a Pre Rooted Rom
Any indication when ? How Who ? What ?
Xperia Z3 C6603
mine too D6603
I'm also.....
Same here.. :crying:
Does the king root method still work?
No, unfortunately not. just checked it with kingroot 4.50
Kingroot 4.50 not working for now on z3, but I'm asking if kingroot update automatically on apk or that i need to download to update the version..
The actual version is the 4.5.0.722
http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application
Hope there will be a solution soon
Same, waiting........
I want to how can I get root access without flashing pre rooted rom 5.1.1
Sent from my D6653 using Tapatalk
Have anyone tried updating with 'rootkeeper' or survival mode of 'supersu' ?
Lol its a bit late for me to try that? Didnt know there was such a program or feature
Any news?
Finally Rooted my D6653 5.1.1 by a long process
:silly: (I had a TA backup of 5.0.2 stock rom before proceeding, and supersu 2.49 beta.zip).
followed steps like:
1. I updated My Z3 to 5.1.1
2. then unlocked my bootloader
3. flashed cm12.1 boot.img
4. boted into cwm recovery using cm12.1 boot.img
5. flashed supersu 2.49 beta.zip
6. reflashed the 5.1.1 kernel back using stock 5.1.1 ftf and flashtool
7. successfully booted into rooted stock rom.
FROM HERE BOOTLOADER LOCK WITH TA PARTITION BEGINS
8. run backup TA and restore previous TA Backup of 5.0.2 and reboot the phone( usb debugging must be enabled).
9. Now the phone is a locked bootloader with TA installed of 5.0.2 (partially compatible kernel but locked bootloader)
10. reflash the 5.1.1 kernel back using stock 5.1.1 ftf and flashtool.
11. yipee.. you got a rooted 5.1.1 stock rom with locked bootloader.
You then can install XZ Dual recovery and can reflash supersu beta 2.49.zip if you face problem in mounting system R/w.
Finally Done. :good:

Wysłane z mojego D6603 przy użyciu Tapatalka
Hello there,
have been trying to root my new xperia z3 for 3 weekends now with no luck.
My bootloader has been unlocked through sony website, then relocked and unlocked many times using flashtool.
Looks like all the recoveries (doomlord, twrp) I could find work only on 4.4.4. Then I use flashtool to flash lollipop 5.1.1 23.4.A.1.200 and either wipe and loose the root or don't wipe all and enter a bootloop.
Flashing those recovery kernels straight on lollipop make the phone enter bootloop.
Are you guys able to root those Z3 under 5.1.1 ?
thank you
Sure shot easy way is flash kitkat firmware and use giefroot or flash 5.0 firmware and use kingroot.
Mate, you have to flash a prerooted version of 5.1.1 you can't just flash a stock rom and expect to stay rooted.
Downgrade to Kitkat then root and install a custom recovery. Then you download 5.1.1, Super Su and a custom recovery, create a pre rooted flashable zip with PRFcreator . Then flash it in your custom recovery and you're done. Rooted 5.1.1 with a custom recovery ready to rock.
Kingroot isn't recommendable, your IMEI is sent to China. Downgrade to 4.4, root with giefieroot, upgrade with pre-rooted ROM.
Btw: did you make a backup of your TA partition before unlocking bootloader?
Thanks a lot for your answer guys.
Am unusually struggling with this device.

Have already downgraded to kitkat, installed custom recovery and rooted. But the 5.1.1 stock flash indeed wipe everything.
Haven't found yet a custom recovery for 5.1.1 that doesn't make the phone enter a bootloop. Would you happen to have a link ?
I'll give a look to that PRFcreator, didn't know about it.

This is what I read about kingroot and haven't found any other way to root a 5.1.1 stock.
Where could I find a pre-rooter ROM then ? My wish was to be stock and rooted to be able to use apps like titanium backup and adblockers. Used to try custom roms every other day on my old SGS but today I'd be happy with something that just works.
Did not make any backup before unlocking but looked like flashtool was able to relock the device. Am I right guessing I didn't loose my DRM keys then ?
Thanks again for your answers.
Edit: looks like am missing sthg, what's the point in rooting a kitkat to upgrade with a pre-rooted lollipop right after ?
After KitKat root you get a Lollipop pre-rooted image and flash it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6603-5-0-2-flashable-stock-23-1-0-690-t3056361
Here are the steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056
I hope you made a TA backup before unlocking your bootloader, otherwise you have lost your DRM keys forever.
Anyway, if your bootloader is now locked, follow the guide that Licaon_Kter linked in the above post.
The exploit that lets us root our Z3 only works on Kitkat, so downgrade first, run the exploit to obtain root, and install recovery.
You will then have stock, rooted, KitKat.
To get to 5.1.1, you will then need to either create your own pre rooted firmware, or download one that someone has kindly posted on here.
If you want to learn how to do it, read this --> Create your own pre rooted firmware with PRF Creator
PRF Creator will create a zip file that can be flashed from recovery, so once you have recovery installed, it's dead easy.
That will get you where you want to be.
However . . . and there's always a however lol . . .
. . . if you still have an unlocked bootloader, it is much simpler from wherever you are.
Find any custom rom that has recovery built in, and almost all do, then fastboot the kernel only, the boot.img.
Reboot your device and enter recovery.
Install your pre rooted firmware that you have either created with PRF Creator, or downloaded from here.
Job done.
My personal advice is read, read, and then read some more.
It can be very complicated, but you'll get the hang of it.

I still have an unlocked bootloader since flashtool can lock and unlock it in a matter of a second.
Went back again in KK rooted with twrp recovery.
Wiped data, cache, dalvik.
Flashed D6603_23.4.A.1.232_Customized_US_SuperSU_XZDR2.8.2 1 from the link above and ... CWM recovery report install from sdcard completed after 1s and nothing more. Am still booting in KK after that.
This didn't work for me. Am losing it now with this phone.
Am I missing sthg ? Any advice ?
Can't use PRFCreator, am under mac os...

I appreciate your still trying to help me.
I do use flashtool and am able to root a Kitkat 23.0.A.2.93, so I don't see the point in using giefroot unless it could root a lollipop.
I have read thoroughly and downloaded pre-rooted lollipop stock roms from the link you provided.
Once under KK, rooted, with all settings set properly (debug, security, etc...), and all caches/dalvik/data wiped, the CMW recovery just don't flash those lollipop roms. After just one sec, it says install completed but then the device still boot under KK.
TWRP doesn't even intall, so am wondering if this is even possible to get a TWRP on stock rom.
Have tried all of those with bootloader unlocked and locked, or a mix like unlocked first to be able to root a KK, then relock to flash a stock prerooted 5.1.1 (as stated in the post) but then I get a device that doesn't even boot.
Tried dualrecovery too, flash the zip, and nothing.
I suspect all of you guys have used some sort of .bat windows utility to get through this.
Once again, thanks for your help and patience.

The point is to go from the BEGINing _again_: Flash stock KK, giefroot, XZ, pre-rooted LP
I have done it in Linux w/ locked bootloader and stock ROM, hence my pointers.
XZDualrecovery has TWRP 2.8.7.0. But, do take note that you use Volume Down to enter PhilzTouch Recovery and Volume Up to enter TWRP.

am sorry, can't find how to use giefroot on a mac.
read quite a few post of people saying that was not working for them.
Run the INSTALL.SH file in a console (just like they instruct you for the .BAT file for Windows), it detects OS and runs either adb for Linux or for Mac.
Well, like I said, it worked fine in Linux, I guess it should work on Mac, providing the device is detected ok beforehand and such. ( what does "adb devices" outputs with the phone connected ? )

YES,
if you downgrade zperia x5 and flash pre rooted android 5.1.1 then it is possible
however pre rooted version were created by using prf creators which couldn't support android 6.x.x and later.
p/s I never tried pre rooted xperia stockrom
also if you don't want to use prerooted stockrom of android 5.1.
simply try rooting it with kingroot.
till android 5.1, kingroot were able to find xploit in the system

Thank you.
But as i understanded , this create a rom as a zip file , so it will need recovery to be flashed.
And you can't install the recovery until your phone is rooted or unlocked bootloader.
So you can't root without unlocking the bootloader.
So do you mean that first i need to root my device with an old software , then update to pre rooted software via recovery?
If yes , then please let me know how to root old software and which version.

again now we have go back in times where xploits were available, during kitkat days everyone had rooted phones since android was not using dmvarity. you could root kitkat easily on locked bootloader and have XDR installed while running andoir 4.4.4 ( i did with my C6602) once you had XDR install (xperia dual recovery) you can reboot your mobile into recovery and can flash pre rooted LP.
now this is GOOD for old days and for information
for you xperia z5 never actually landed on kitkat and LP can be rooted via kingroot. so you will be only able to use rooted z5 on LP only~!
if you wana install prerooted rom without kingroot you will have to first root running LP via kingroot, install xdr and flash again LP (clean flashing)
so on looked bootloader you dn't have much options!
