Hey guys,
How can I root my phone without unlocking my bootloader? I can't seem to find anything useful.
Thanks.
You can't. Unlocking the bootloader is the required first step to rooting.
Some think a method may appear in time, but I'm not convinced.

I'm not convinced too, but I unlocked my bootloader since I really want to have Viper4Android at least and to be able to remove some apps. How can I know if I properly relocked my bootloader? I have backed-up my TA partition.
Marshmallow is hard to root via system modifacation
This is why systemless root exists, if you was to do this on a locked bootloader device you may brick the device hence as of now and probably a decant bit into the future a unlocked bootloader is required
However you can downgrade your firmware and backup your TA Partition and restore at a Later date
You can do this via a tool called Ivyroot

Since when is it possible to brick an xperia with a locked bootloader? As far as I know, back in the days I used to be flashing almost everyday without any chance of bricking my device. I know I can back-up my TA partition, but how am I supposed to know if I properly re-locked my bootloader?

After relocking the bootloader you can check in service menu or try to repair ur phone with xperia companion, if you succeed than ur bootloader is locked successfully.

Well, a soft brick ain't a real brick. So bricking it is basically not possible depending on how you look at it.

That your TA partition is wiped. Re-locking the bootloader and restoring the TA partition are completely separate steps. If you didn't make a backup of the TA partition before unlocking the bootloader, it's gone forever.
...It's gone forever. But if you want to stay rooted, and get all Sony's upgrades like Camera enhancements or other TA provided tweaks you can use DRM Key Fix or install a custom ROM which include it (like RomAur which is great)
I have managed to relock it, you gotta have the stock kernel installed before you can relock it. That sucks :3
How about downgrading to 32.0.A.4.11 firmware? Can we root after downgrading to that with Kingroot?

Since you're up to 4.2.2, (assuming locked bootloader?) then there is not much outside of a factory reset to fix your phone's problems.
You might just have to get a warranty replacement.

If you have a locked bootloader, it means the phone is locked down to where you cannot use custom recoveries (like CWM or TWRP) and you cannot flash ROMs that have a different kernel than what is currently on your phone. There's a whole host of other things, but that's the main issue.
Unless your phone is on JB version 9.16.9 or earlier (AND no one has flashed a later version and then flashed back to the previous version), then you cannot unlock the bootloader on this phone anymore.

you cannot unlock the XT926 with the official unlocker from Motorola unless it's the dev edition. Only the XT925 can be unlocked via the Motorola unlocker (at least for the RAZR HD phones).
But, you are already on Kit Kat. You even quoted where I said if you are apply an OTA greater than 9.16.9 version, you CANNOT unlock your bootloader ever. Once you do that on an XT926, you've patched the exploit that allowed unlocking the bootloader and nothing will ever put it back because it's in a protected area that you cannot flash back to a previous version to put the exploit back in.
Sorry, once you took the KitKat upgrade, you've lost any chance of unlocking the bootloader. Don't even try to flash back to a previous version. You'll brick your device. This has been stated over and over and over again since the KitKat ota has been released.

There is no way to unlock it, ever. Don't wait for a fix, as there is no fix to unlock the bootloader. It was never meant to be unlocked. It was unlocked via a security exploit and that exploit was patched after 9.16.9. There is no way to "fix" it.
As for your phone restarting, I would say a factory data reset is probably your only cure. It wipes everything (including your internal SD card), so be sure to back up what you can, especially pictures, etc.
guys is it better to have locked bootloader??

Unless you backed up your DRM keys before unlocking the bootloader you have lost them for good.....
yes can relock using flashtools but as mentioned, drm is lost forever if not backed up earlier.
Don' t worry, there is not much difference between having DRM keys on board, or not.

Screen Mirroring works for me, and I have an unlocked bootloader, no TA partition backed up, no DRM keys restored.
Is it? Thats nice then. Just to highlight that screen mirror & throw are two diff things. Losing drm also losing x-reality, supervivid and many more which already discussed many times here on xda.

X-Reality works fine too.
And I'm pretty sure I lost the DRM keys, because I get an [Unknown Error] while checking MARLIN key, even if it says [Active]
All the things that shouldn' t work after unlocking, work.
Maybe there was a glitch when I unlocked, anyhow, it' s like I never unlocked, all the functions work.
wow. that's a breaking news. I remember on early release of kitkat fw updates where x-reality works on UB but then sony fix it on next updates. if they really do it on puspose for lollipop & future updates, many will appreciate sony. im going to test them right away..

I am buying a used Z3. Although the seller says its almost brand new and never rooted but how can i confirm that DRM keys are still there. A search for google only gets result for how to backup them up. How can i check they are still there? Thanks.
easiest :
dial *#*#7378423#*#* > service tests > security
if all [Key OK] means all keys intact.
I have nine keys.
All are [Active]
Only three are with an [Uknown Error]
But still, all are [Active] and all functions of the phone are working good.
@TheTeslaCoil
mate ur info is misleading. others, please be on high cautious when unlocking bootloader. make sure DRM is backed up or risk of losing it forever.
im on latest LP & i can confirm 100% x-reality/supervivid is not working w/o DRM keys by default.

So?
I just stated the obvious in my case.
I don' t care who backs up or who doesn' t their TA partition.
I did NOT.
Misleading or not, MOD EDIT Rule 2.1
of course u dont. but others may regret later. im just sharing my experience. no offense :angel:
Friendly reminder for others : many features may not functioning without DRM.

True, best is to back up TA. I didn' t do it, but ofcourse the DRM keys are there for a reason, so if someone want' s my advice, don' t unlock the bootloader.
Restoring DRM will bring back the functions, but still...so if you like the phone as it is, keep it that way.
If you cannot restore TA, this break device warranty.

Hi,
I've Xperia Z3 (T-Mobile) D6616 running on Android 5.0. I would like to install Android 6 on it.
I prefer to install Stock Rom of Android 6 On my Z3. Default , If there are a cool & good Custom ROM of Android 6.
I was not able to root it using Kingo Root too :crying: !!! Are there another way ?
Thanks
Get yourself another variant. The D6616 has a permanently locked bootloader. Flashing AOSP/CM-based ROMs is not possible.

Hello.
I'm in the same case (D6616 with unlockable bootloader) & I wanna know if there is any issue to install custom ROM. Did you successfully installed any other ROM on it ? or mayebe Rooted it? let me know please.
Root is possible and Recovery too, but there are no custom ROMs made for D6616.
I too have the tmobile z3 d6616, being used in the UK on ee......I wanted 32gb storage and only this model seems to have it out of the factory. Purchased via eBay from a seller in Hong Kong, fully expected it to be a used/fake phone but no, brand new genuine item complete with all the tmobile bloatware. Acording to the specs I can't get 4g in the UK as it has the wrong lte bands (3g is no problem and sufficient for me) though when I use mobile data it does say 4g on the screen.....anyway I digress, I too have 'unlock bootloader - yes' on my phone when you enter the service menu. Despite flashing roms/rooting/flashing different kernels on my old note 3/4 I am unable to take advantage of this feature as my developer skills are next to zero!
I also have this version of D6616.
I unlocked the bootloader and have tried various roms and other mods without much luck.
I wonder what the difference is in the devices (apart from the baseband) that stops us from flashing stock d6603 roms too it.
Maybe some devs can identify where we/I am going wrong

If someone who knows how to use adb could pull the partition layout and upload it in a Google Doc and link it or pm to me I could take a look at it. I think that the partition layout is different and that's why other roms or ftf will not work. You can run this command in adb shell
Code:
ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

Comparing it to http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/dev-d6603-stock-partition-table-t3288687
I can see no difference except for the extra 3 partitions on the end. (that is if the order doesnt matter only the numbers on the end of the partitions, if it does, then that could be our problem)
Btw, I relocked my bootloader before doing this, would that be a problem? (i dont think it would be)
I have the same model D6616 , would you please tell me how you unlocked your bootloader and which custom rom you preffer to install in it?
D6616
You can unlock boot loader but then you have just unstable custom MIUI V7 miui_Z3_liupan_6.6.17_4.4rom with no camera and Jaguar_Leo_December 14. rom a bit unstable.
So, after so many tries and soft-bricks ( once I had to press reset button for 120 sec with power wire +5 -5 V directly on magnetic pins ), I will stay with STOCK KK rom.
Hello! I have a D6616 and I successfully unlocked the bootloader, I successfully installed TWRP 3.0.2; Now the phone and my windows pc believe it is a Sony Xperia Z2. I love playing with Android and Sony products, don't you?
I tried the flashtool from XDA but no luck;
1. on the Z3 I press & hold "volume down" and plug in the USB cable,
2. the phone starts in "flash" mode, the XDA flashtool will recognize the phone,
3. I d/l-ed the appropriate .ftf file for the D6616, I attempt to flash the .ftf file,
4. the phone will reboot (idk why) and enter a boot loop until I manage to repeatedly press "volume up" and "volume down" and TWRP comes up.
I'm stuck, anyone at all that can help me out...please lend me any useful advice!
Could you please let us know how you unlocked the bootloader?

this would be really interesting! on P8 and Mate 8 it was possible to unlock and relock with DC-Unlocker and bootloader did not show "RELOCKED", instead it showed "LOCKED" like never unlocked before. i hope this also works on the P9. maybe some brave one could try this.
in response to my e-mail i sent to DC-Unlocker support i got the following answer:

If the phone is rooted will this also unlock it from the network?

or..
how would I simply unlock the phone for any network ?
Hello all, i Unlock the BL of my phone, but now, i have a message, in orange letter say to me that my hone can't be trusted. What that message ?
sorry for my poor english)
would it be also possible to just boot the twrp (fastboot boot twrp.img) instead on flashing it? for rooting with supersu it should be enough to flash it once with a bootet twrp and the original recovery would be intact. this would be better for OTAs so we don`t have to revert every time to stock recovery.
also interesting would be the fastboot commad to backup the original recovery (and maybe the other partitions too)!
edit: just booting twrp does not work, you have to flash it.
what do we have to do for a OTA update? unroot with supersu and flash back stock recovery?

I didn't say they were the same?
Phones from O2 usually have bootloaders that are permanently locked, with no way to unlock
Which I was drawing the person's attention too, as this method requires an unlocked bootloader for example.

Phones from O2 usually have bootloaders that are permanently locked, with no way to unlock
Which I was drawing the person's attention too, as this method requires an unlocked bootloader for example.

Okay, I thought you were replying specifically to the OP's query.
Hi,
I want to unlock my bootloader to install the Indonesian Rom,
when I unlock I get this message
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
If I relock after flashing the new Rom will the phone be protected again ?
also, has any one else have problems with dark mode ?
Thank you in advance,
Itai.

Those tips are just a confirmation. If you are worried about what it's telling you, then don't unlock bootloader.

Only if you flash your own region stock back. Eg. your device is Indian, then you have to flash back to Indian Rom, then you can relock.
If you relock when having different region Rom, there might cause some problem or even brick your phone.
If you are going to use other region Rom, then do not relock the boot loader.

Some apps don't work , and for some i found that i can disable dark mode and then they work and there text is visible
Anybody please feel free to correct if I'm wrong, but I think what "may damage your device or cause financial loss" is exactly that custom ROM you're flashing, nothing else.

Finger print is not as secure as device with locked bootloader. This is an example of financial loss, eg. loosing the device stolen by strangers. This is what the "find my device" option Google offers for.
Even if you have official MIUI with unlock bootloader, if people steal your device, they can take your personal data with TWRP if they crack the password and finger print.

^ hijacking this.
*** SPOILER: I've found an answer, it's below ***
This is how sorting menu looks like in Youtube Manager Studio for example. Guess it's app-specific but I've encountered couple of them not very happy about dark mode.
(I'm on Xiaomi.eu roms but stock was the same)
Any chance I could tweak it a little somewhere?
EDIT: Found solution! Just enter Settings > Display > More Dark mode options and then just disable dark mode for problematic apps. Ofc it doesn't fix dark mode for them, just removes dark mode from those specific apps, but for me it's okay as a workaround
