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 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
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,
I've been looking throughout the forum but I couldn't find any way to get my phone (Xperia M2 D2306) back to a state where OTA updates are possible (if it is possible at all).
I flashed the unofficial CM 12.1 version posted here using TWRP, although it mostly works I couldn't use FM Radio and found it quite laggy, so I've decided to revert to the most recent stock version (an FTF file I found using XperiFirm).
My concern is:
Do I need just to wipe everything before using flashtool and also is there any intermediate step I'm missing?
If successful, does the phone allow OTA updates from there on or they'll always have to be applied from the PC?
Thanks.
Relock bootloader with ta keys for ota updates to work Otherwise flash ftf via flashtool
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.
hello, im wrongly flash file(kernel?), and now my phone shows as e6653 at flashtool..
phone condition:

2. flash stock so-01h, this bundle not for your phone, also error with e6653 firmware
3. extract kernel from so-01h firmware, but flash error
dtb not found

:crying:
Get Flashtool 0.9.22.2
Download So-01H FTF available on experifirm
Flash the FTF
TWRP and root will be gone but you will have a working phone wit stock MM
I tried this and worked. Nothing else worked for me. No custom roms or Nougat ftf from anywhere.
If you found any way to install custom roms please let me know too.
Thanks
