So I was on a rooted 5.1.1 with XZDualRecovery and I decided I wanted to use the Marshmallow Concept firmware and wanted to create a prerooted one using PRFCreator but now after having flashed it, my Xperia doesn't want to boot into it anymore. It just starts with the this red led and then reboots after a couple of secs. I can boot it into freeboot and make Sony Flasher recognize it that way but I have no idea how to proceed from there. Any help please?

You cant create a pre rooted version of the concept. You can only get root on concept with an unlocked boot.
I have no idea what you mean by freeboot.
Just use flashtool to flash a stock ftf for your device and start again, but don't flash the prerooted concept rom you created again

Thanks I just found that out as well. So unlocked bootloader is the only way to root? No way to do it via XZDualRecovery then?
Thanks again!

Yes, on the concept ROM you have to unlock the bootloader to root.
As for using dual receovery, not on the concept rom. And to have XZDualRecovery you have to be rooted first (Unless you are on a really old firmware that the installer can gain root access on via an old exploit)
Does the Pre-rooted concept include XZ-DualRecovery? Case it included and cause boot loop, try with Pre-rooted concept (system rooted only) without XZ-DualRecovery. After flash Pre-rooted concept, DO NOT reboot but TURN IT OFF. Then flash other stuffs of the concept with flashtool except system. It may help to get concept rooted but not XZ-DualRecovery.
I wish to try this but I have only T-Mobile carrier.

So i have successfully rooted my droid razr m and unlocked the bootloader. i tried using safestrap to avail, i it didnt work at all. Then i tried clock work recovery flashed through with adb. It got flashed successfully. Then tried to get recovery open didnt work. I wanted to know if the unlocked bootloader message is the cause of both programs not working. or can you guys give me maybe better instructions to start flashing roms on phone on a rooted and unlocked bootloader. THANK YOU. I wanna put a rom on my device so my phones themes look cool.
I am also on 4.4.2 stock. and how do i get rid of the unlocked bootloader message.

you don't need ss any more with an unlocked bl, although it should still work. however, the version you tried probably isnt compatible with kk.
as for cwm and twrp, make sure you have the correct version for kk, and after you install it you want to boot directly into it. do not let the phone boot the os the first time or it will wipe the recovery back to the stock one. also you should grab the su flashable zip and flash that when your in recovery the first time, so you have a properly working root.
after all that you can put a rom on your phone and flash it, but make sure you get one that is on kk base or it will just bootloop.
there is a method to remove the ul bl warning, check you forums general section for the post. i know there is one in the maxx/hd forum, but i don't know if they are cross compatible.

But I do not want recovery my device..
you cannot root a lollipop rom, you have to downgrade to KK, root it then upgrade again to a rooted lollipop rom, only way it via a flashable zip that can only be installed by using one of the 2 recoveries
why don't you want a recovery?

Not true. If you keep the locked bootloader and install a recovery you can still get official updates. But you will lose root, however you will always lose root of you officially update regardless of if you have recovery of not
Yes, but to apply the update you need a stock recovery.

I still do not want recovery .. it does not work as good like the original version ..
A root and a custom recovery is good to backup and most important : RESTORE a working version of the ROM in case of a soft brick.
But it is your choice.

I still prefer only root .. my old phone (Xperia s) made it only root .. no recovery or things like that .. This is the most recommended in my opinion but I do not know when in the new version of z3 came out with only root .. I'm really looking forward to it
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
i unlocked the bootloader but theirs no way to root without downgrading to kk..
is theres a way fo rooting with this update can i have it
im new to sony and had a bricked problem yesterday
played a little bit with flash tool and managed to get out of it with the Unlocked bootloader..
And you were aware of such keywords like "camera DRM", "TA partition", "backup" before unlocking, right?
I've aswered you elsewhere too, but, the procedure is kinda universal (for Z phones that is): downgrade to KK, giefroot, XZDR, update to pre-rooted LL.
What's your issue with that? You do it once and you just flash the next version, keeping data, but wiping dalvik&cache.
i didnt keep the drm backup...
now i dont think i can restore it
it doesnt matter all i need to do it to root this and have the full power to my self
done and rooted and everything works fine..now i nned toknow if theres any pure android marshmellow available??

To root with an unlocked boot loader is the easiest thing, just flash an insecure kernel.
As for ROMS, head over to the development section and take a browse there.

I am using unlock bootloader Xperia Z3 right now, having rooted custom rom and recovery. Currently I need to have my device become non-rooted for testing applications. I can flash FTF but my device will lost recovery and it would be tedious to flash recovery and rom again.
I tried to find any non-root rom but can't find yet. Or do I need to flash FTF to have non-root rom?

If you are not rooted you are stuck with official stock roms only. Just flash a FTF.
However, this will not lock your bootloader, you will have to restore your TA partition to do this or use flashtool.
