Hi,
I have flashed pre-rooted with dualrecovery in my phone (Locked BL, though), and now a need to send it back for warranty, due to a screen flickering when using maximum brightness.
Is there a thread with back-to-stock instructions to the Z3, and specially for the 6633 model? or all I need to do is flash a stock firmware?
Is there any sort of eFuse or flash counter (as in Samsung phones) that i should worry about?
Phone details:
Z3 Dual 6633, Unbranded, Brazilian.
Locked BL
flashed Pre-rooted stock image, with dualrecovery
Just simply download the latest firmware from Xperifirm, After this use Flashtool to create the ftf file, and flash this on your device
A tutorial can be found below on how to make a ftf + flash it:
Here are two guides:
Guide 1
Guide 2
Best of luck and Happy Flashing!

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
After flashing phone witch generic no branded firmwere 4.4.4 phone doesn't finds update. What do I need to do?
Try to download the original firmware for your phone using the Xperia Firmware Downloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...perifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142/
Just select your phone model number and the brand, then click in the right side the firmware version.
Later use flashtools to pack the firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/noobs-guide-create-stock-firmware-ftf-t2188129
(Go to step 3)
And flash the new ftf file with flashtool too.
Sometimes the best way is to download the firmwares manually from the forum and flash it, because some brands don't give the latest firmware to our phones (like mine). With this way, you will have the latest firmware, rooted and with dual recovery just flashing the zip file, but first you have to prepare your phone:
Use this guide to flash the latest rootable firmware, root that firmware and install the recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056
then go to development section and download the latest firmware for your phone. Download a preroorted with recovery version to allow the manually updates later:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/
Even you can use some custom Roms like Existenz.
Greetings and sorry for my english.
I already know how to flash with the "Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde".
I also know how i can get the latest Firmware for my Device with the XperiFirm Downloader.
I also know how i can update/Upgrade with the Sony Mobile Flasher without Data loss.
But i dont know how i can integrate the Root Files in the Firmware which should be flashed.
What i have:
XPERIA Z3 with locked Boot Loader (Running 23.4.A.1.264)
"PC with Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde"
What i want:
A flashable Firmware 23.4.A.1.264 with integrated root without unlocking the bootloader.
So how i can integrate this in my Firmware?
Look in the cross device development section for the PRFCreator thread
And FYI, you will never be able to flash a pre-rooted firmware with flashtool, you have to be already rooted with a custom recovery to flash it.
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.
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.
