If you have a custom recovery (TWRP) and root, you may incur in some problems as bootloop, so I suggest you to take a backup of your file and unroot and install the stock recovery (if you want update)

What's going on with kingroot for Xperia z3 lolipop 5.1.1? There is a date for available kingroot for this version?
No there isn't. Kingroot only supports 5.0 not 5.1 You could always flash 5.0.2, root with kingroot then flash a pre-rooted 5.1.1

Did you flash a stock 5.0.2, then root with kingroot, install the latest dual recovery from PC, boot to recovery, do a complete wipe then flash a pre-rooted 5.1.1 from recovery. It should work. I tried it here, worked perfectly.
BTW make sure you put the pre-rooted 5.1.1 on your sdcard before you start so once you go into recovery to do a full wipe you don't reboot until you flash the pre-rooted 5.1..1

Then just delete the recovery after you have flashed the pre rooted 5.1.1. The ramdisks are in the system partition.

If I do now Recovery then it deletes all my stuff in the cell phone .. other than that it will lose my warranty and it might make my cell phone issues

It should not do that if you do it properly. You only lose stuff in your phone if you unlock the bootloader and you do not need to do that. Also, making a backup of things you want to keep is always a good idea.

No you will not lose warranty if you follow the locked bootloader tutorial. You do not need to unlock the bootloader to install recovery and flash a pre-rooted 5.1.1
Please take a moment to look through any of the multiple guides in the general section to see how to do this

Okay, thank you very much, but there will be no hacking with "Kingroot"? This is the most easy and simple ..

Kingroot will send your IMEI to an IP address in china, I do not recommend it. Downgrade and use giefroot, install dual recovery, flash a pre rooted 5.1.1, then delete the recovery if you want, but I do not see why you would do this.

You are confusing recovery with losing drm keys when unlocking the bootloader.
I have never come across anyone who has recovery installed correctly and used correctly who has had problems like that
@DANIELTZ19
If you're worried and want another opinion then my advice is that everything GregBradley has stated is correct. His method is also the safest and reliable with an excellent tutorial in the General forum. Read it http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056

HI,
I have the MOTO G TURBO EDITION, XT1557 in India.
If i unlock the bootloader, can i use fastboot to boot a TWRP recovery and take a backup
of the entire rom ??? This should be before i flash SUPERSU.
That way will i get an UNROOTED STOCK ROM ??
Is this possible or do you have to flash supersu and then only take a backup ??
Any thoughts please??
thanks
Greg
Flash twrp take backup and flash SuperSU you will get stock rom backup

That is what I did, unlocked bootloader, booted TWRP, made a TWRP backup, then flashed SuperSU. I never flashed TWRP, but that can always be done later.

Correct. And it is advisable. My first root attempt I tried 2.67. I ended up stuck on Unlocked bootloader message. I simply reflashed my backup, then tried 2.62-3. Been rooted ever since.
One other recommendation, save your backup to the SD card vice internal storage, otherwise you will have the permission challenges.
I currently have a rooted Honor 8 FRD-L04 with TWRP installed, and I'm just wondering how I should prepare for the Nougat Update. I heard that I need to revert to Stock Recovery, and I'm wondering if Huawei's own erecovery can do that. Also, will using erecovery or the normal .img method wipe my phone data? I have unrooted using SuperSU or XDA (I don't remember which one). Is there anything else I should know about? Thanks!

The only problem with unrooting with SuperSU is it will most likely Fail.
This is because SuperSU actually patches the boot.img when you flash it in TWRP and this can't be undone
to fully unroot this phone you'll need to fastboot flash boot.img and stock recovery.img
I find it easier to just use Huawei Backup and dload flash back to B162
and then restore my backup
If your already on the Nougat beta you'll need to do 2 flashes
first flash is the rollback and the second flash will return you too b162

Yes I know but he said that he successfully unrooted it with SuperSU, so no problem there...
I unrooted and went back to stock recovery simply by doing a FULL OTA update. It completely blew away TWRP and rooted ROM when I did it.
Guys, i am unable to update to latest .161. I have unlocked bootloader, twrp and installed magisk.
Update manager download the update but it fails to update in twrp recovery.
Please suggest. I don't want to lose data.
Can someone provide zip update package so that i can update in twrp??
You have to remove majisk
Relock boot
Then you will receive official update
Then unlock and reinstall majisk

There is no need to relock.
I didnt whe 110 came out and it still updated... rooted with Magisk as well
@any_thing
Check the ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries section, there's a modified stock recovery that allows for updating w/o relocking the Bootloader.*
Once complete, put TWRP back & root, you will not lose any data/apps/etc...... as you would by simply relocking your Bootloader....
* YMMV,this modified recovery may not be compatible w/your model.

Good luck then.... Personally I don't care.. Mine works fine

I have the BKL-L04 model & got an update notice earlier today:
While on stock rooted with TWRP & Magisk,the update downloaded & attempted to install,but,it failed.
So,just flash the stock recovery for your model & take the update w/o relocking your bootloader.
You will not lose any data from switching recoveries,at least on this phone.
(If you want to unroot 1st,that's fine,but,not necessary,flashing the modified stock recovery image unroots your phone anyway.)
After taking the update,flash the TWRP & Magisk (& Magisk Manager App,if it disappeared) as you did previously.
Just posting what worked for me,& in no way are my experiences/usage intended to contradict posts/suggestions from others,especially if they have the exact same model of phone as yours.
Hope this helps. :good:

Just install stock ram disk...
It would automatically remove twrp and root.. And u will b able to install update once updated just reflash twrp ram disk and install magisk zip to get root back..
That's how I did it on c675

No not at all... Ramdisk is a different partation
I had rooted phone with magisk installed, I received 2 updates like that - automatically lost root privileges, but I didn't receive .161 update (EIS update still not available for me?) any way to get this update?
PS my bootloader is unlocked... do I need lock it to get an update? and how to lock it?
