Always need root just to install custom roms . If we can install roms without root , then we don't need root anymore ( I am still lost ). Now I can wait for custom 6.1 roms.

Its not ideal but at least you dont have to go through the whole reroot process each time you want to change roms. And you can still flash zips etc in safestrap.

Reserved

Can we run and use apps which require ROOT access?
I'm a bit confused though. Don't custom ROMs come pre-rooted???? So wouldn't flashing a custom ROM which is pre-rooted....... remain rooted?

You cannot have a rooted MM rom with locked bootloader because to have root requires a custom kernel which locked bootloaders cannot flash. It doesnt matter if the rom is prerooted or not! Stock Boot.img means no root. You cannot run apps that require root with these roms All this method does if give you some options the biggest option being the ability to flash zips. and change roms with out having to odin back to stock pb1 then reroot then. Try the stock MM rom I posted. Once installed you can flash a debloatzip or a knox removal zip or delete apps from safestrap with the built in file manager If you dont like you can always downgrade back to PB1

@jrkruse How does this work?
Based on my knowledge from reading this, it seems that the kernel finds the checksum of the system partition and then only boots if it is unmodified.
Shouldn't modifying the system partition in the slightest bit throw this checksum off?
Also - modified kernels CAN be flashed on locked bootloaders - just not via Odin. They only won't boot though >.>

I got one to try. I have tried it so I know it works
Download this rom
Download my Patch
In safestrap do a manual wipe. Wipe Data,WipeCache,Wipe System
Install Rom
Install patch
This rom Does not flash system.img so you dont need to install safestrap it will stay installed
After patch is installed wipe data and wipe cache and install MM Bootloader zip
Reboot it will take 15 to 20 min to boot
Now you will Have A Note 5 port with working theme support

Root? Kingroot?

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.

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

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

Is there a way to root on 5.1.1 23.4.A.1.200 ?

Hello there,
have been trying to root my new xperia z3 for 3 weekends now with no luck.
My bootloader has been unlocked through sony website, then relocked and unlocked many times using flashtool.
Looks like all the recoveries (doomlord, twrp) I could find work only on 4.4.4. Then I use flashtool to flash lollipop 5.1.1 23.4.A.1.200 and either wipe and loose the root or don't wipe all and enter a bootloop.
Flashing those recovery kernels straight on lollipop make the phone enter bootloop.
Are you guys able to root those Z3 under 5.1.1 ?
thank you
Sure shot easy way is flash kitkat firmware and use giefroot or flash 5.0 firmware and use kingroot.
Mate, you have to flash a prerooted version of 5.1.1 you can't just flash a stock rom and expect to stay rooted.
Downgrade to Kitkat then root and install a custom recovery. Then you download 5.1.1, Super Su and a custom recovery, create a pre rooted flashable zip with PRFcreator . Then flash it in your custom recovery and you're done. Rooted 5.1.1 with a custom recovery ready to rock.
Kingroot isn't recommendable, your IMEI is sent to China. Downgrade to 4.4, root with giefieroot, upgrade with pre-rooted ROM.
Btw: did you make a backup of your TA partition before unlocking bootloader?
Thanks a lot for your answer guys.
Am unusually struggling with this device.

Have already downgraded to kitkat, installed custom recovery and rooted. But the 5.1.1 stock flash indeed wipe everything.
Haven't found yet a custom recovery for 5.1.1 that doesn't make the phone enter a bootloop. Would you happen to have a link ?
I'll give a look to that PRFcreator, didn't know about it.

This is what I read about kingroot and haven't found any other way to root a 5.1.1 stock.
Where could I find a pre-rooter ROM then ? My wish was to be stock and rooted to be able to use apps like titanium backup and adblockers. Used to try custom roms every other day on my old SGS but today I'd be happy with something that just works.
Did not make any backup before unlocking but looked like flashtool was able to relock the device. Am I right guessing I didn't loose my DRM keys then ?
Thanks again for your answers.
Edit: looks like am missing sthg, what's the point in rooting a kitkat to upgrade with a pre-rooted lollipop right after ?
After KitKat root you get a Lollipop pre-rooted image and flash it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6603-5-0-2-flashable-stock-23-1-0-690-t3056361
Here are the steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056
I hope you made a TA backup before unlocking your bootloader, otherwise you have lost your DRM keys forever.
Anyway, if your bootloader is now locked, follow the guide that Licaon_Kter linked in the above post.
The exploit that lets us root our Z3 only works on Kitkat, so downgrade first, run the exploit to obtain root, and install recovery.
You will then have stock, rooted, KitKat.
To get to 5.1.1, you will then need to either create your own pre rooted firmware, or download one that someone has kindly posted on here.
If you want to learn how to do it, read this --> Create your own pre rooted firmware with PRF Creator
PRF Creator will create a zip file that can be flashed from recovery, so once you have recovery installed, it's dead easy.
That will get you where you want to be.
However . . . and there's always a however lol . . .
. . . if you still have an unlocked bootloader, it is much simpler from wherever you are.
Find any custom rom that has recovery built in, and almost all do, then fastboot the kernel only, the boot.img.
Reboot your device and enter recovery.
Install your pre rooted firmware that you have either created with PRF Creator, or downloaded from here.
Job done.
My personal advice is read, read, and then read some more.
It can be very complicated, but you'll get the hang of it.

This didn't work for me. Am losing it now with this phone.

I appreciate your still trying to help me.
I do use flashtool and am able to root a Kitkat 23.0.A.2.93, so I don't see the point in using giefroot unless it could root a lollipop.
I have read thoroughly and downloaded pre-rooted lollipop stock roms from the link you provided.
Once under KK, rooted, with all settings set properly (debug, security, etc...), and all caches/dalvik/data wiped, the CMW recovery just don't flash those lollipop roms. After just one sec, it says install completed but then the device still boot under KK.
TWRP doesn't even intall, so am wondering if this is even possible to get a TWRP on stock rom.
Have tried all of those with bootloader unlocked and locked, or a mix like unlocked first to be able to root a KK, then relock to flash a stock prerooted 5.1.1 (as stated in the post) but then I get a device that doesn't even boot.
Tried dualrecovery too, flash the zip, and nothing.
I suspect all of you guys have used some sort of .bat windows utility to get through this.
Once again, thanks for your help and patience.

The point is to go from the BEGINing _again_: Flash stock KK, giefroot, XZ, pre-rooted LP
I have done it in Linux w/ locked bootloader and stock ROM, hence my pointers.
XZDualrecovery has TWRP 2.8.7.0. But, do take note that you use Volume Down to enter PhilzTouch Recovery and Volume Up to enter TWRP.

am sorry, can't find how to use giefroot on a mac.
read quite a few post of people saying that was not working for them.
Run the INSTALL.SH file in a console (just like they instruct you for the .BAT file for Windows), it detects OS and runs either adb for Linux or for Mac.
Well, like I said, it worked fine in Linux, I guess it should work on Mac, providing the device is detected ok beforehand and such. ( what does "adb devices" outputs with the phone connected ? )

DISCONTINUED_[VZW_Stock TW Rom][6.0.1 MM QA1 Build Odex For Locked Bootloader SafeStrap Only]

Do Not Flash This On Unlocked Bootloaders Or You Will Relock Your Bootloader!!!​Once your on MM 6.0.1 you cannot restore a Lollipop Backup using SafeStrap or vice versa. Follow the link at bottom of post for guide and files to downgrade back to Lollipop
Ok the first thing I want to make clear is YOU WILL NOT HAVE ROOT! You will still have the use of Safestrap Recovery even though phone will not be rooted. What this will allow you to do is boot the non rooted rom back into safestrap. While in Safestrap you can do what you have always done, Flash Zips, Make Backups,Etc. This will also make it easy if you want to go back to PB1 rooted rom.
You must be on A rooted rom preferably A PB1 rom running SafeStrap
If Running FlashFire
Make sure latest busybox is installed
Install MM_Safestrap.apk
Reboot to safestrap
Wipe Data,Cache,System
Install VZW_QA1_STOCK_SAFESTRAP_ONLY_V2.zip
Roms will take a long time to boot up be patient!
This will put you on pure stock rom MM QA1 rom but from here you can get to safestrap to flash other roms or mods
To return to Safestrap you will need to flash a kitkat kernel NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5 using odin then when phone reboots click on enter safestrap recovery. When leaving safestrap you must flashMM_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip. Which will be located on your internal storage In a folder called MM_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable
If you want to flash other custom roms a guide can be found HERE

Question... I tried your stock PB1 before and it worked well. I however hosed myself flashing the incorrect firmware and USB bulk mode occured when I attempted to go back to PHX11 5.0 ROM. I flashed firmware as when I reloaded the backup of PHX 11 I had no data or wifi.
I saved the phone however and need to know what is the correct procedure to go back to LP backups if I try this and decide not to stay? I want to avoid bulk mode again!
Thank you!!

Would this be the same procedure for OG5 just substitute the PB1 caution firmware with OG5 caution firmware? I assume just match the ROM you go to with the caution zips that don't contain the bootloader.
Pretty sure I didn't use the caution firmware before and that what caused my issues.

OK thank you for clarifying. I use PHX 11 and always need to flash the OG5 kernal from safe strap so I assumed I'd need OG5 firmware for that particular situation.
Also thanks for updating the OP about using backups to and from MM - that will help others avoid issues.
I'll stop clogging the thread now! Appreciate all the information and work you do!!
Hey, thanks for this great site and all of your guides. It really helps.
I just rooted my s5 g900v and Im still on KITKAT NK2. Would it be possible for me to update from that version to this one following your guide?
Sorry for asking really basic questions. My phone at the moment is sim unlocked and rooted, but CID starts with 11 so I cannot unlock the boatloader, right? Then I assume this ROM is my best option. I want to be really sure that I will still be sim unlocked on the new ROM, its got nothing to do with it, right?
Many many thanks in advanced!

Yes you can update to this rom and also verizon phones are all sim unlocked so it will rermain sim unlocked. Just remember if your still on kitkat when you flash anything with safestrap do not use rom slots flash on the stock rom slot. If you dont know what this means then dont worry about it

Thanks for the hard work, unfortunately my cid 15 just took a nice fat swim and i had to get a replacement and got a cid 11 instead (##$$%@@@!#[email protected]). Your guides have been great to get to this point but got a couple questions:
Any link to what the debloat script removes? I just ran it and it doesn't seem to remove anything (ran it at same time as addblock). Going to reboot and flash it again see if it does. Any way we can remove the stuff we don't want? (all the VZW junk)

How to install Oreo ROM?

Hi! I'm really humbly sorry, I'm new to this stuff, so I have to ask you...
I have a Galaxy S8+ Duos (SM-GD955FD). I bricked it once or twice trying to root it. So I had to flash a sammobile.com ROM...
Now this is done, I have a successfully rooted phone with with the Baseband version G955FXU1AQH3 and the irritating "security notice" (since I was not able to install Magisk, and the NotifyClean app doesn't work either).
I would like to flash the latest Oreo and root it. I also heard good things about the Oreo ROM by alexega.
So: I'm on AQH3 rooted. What can I do?
Thank you for your patience.
If wou want to install stock ROM you must follow this instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-crap-using-odin-t3748555. Bear in mind that if you install stock due to security issues you can't unlock OEM for 7 days after flashing (you must not reboot your phone for 170 hours).
If wou want to flash a custom rom you must have TWRP installed, move the zip rom to your SD card and just flash it from recovery. Make sure to format data before flashing.

Nice, thank you. So I have just flashed the thing with the sammobile.com ROM again (so, no root) and updated to the oroginal firmware Oreo following your link (I worked parallel).
I was just about to root Oreo and was googling for a way... But did I get you right? I should not reboot my phone for 170 hours now?!? So, no rooting until next week?!
Edit: I have developer options enabled and the "OEM unlock" switch is on (it says: "Bootloader is already unlocked.""). So... confusion...

Excuse me, are you currently on Nougat 7.0? If so, you obviously have OEM unlock option available. The problem is in the new 8.0 stock rom, wich sets RMM state to pre-normal preventing you to flash TWRP and to get root in OREO. To skip that you can directly flash a custom rom with 8.0.- Otherwise (stock rom) you must wait 7 days with no phone reboot to get ridd of that pre-normal issue and then flash TWRP and flash Magisk.
Just rooted the new Oreo ROM with TWRP. Works just fine, thank you.
So, what are the advantages of the Oreo ROM by alexega compared to XXU1CRAP?

Do you need a custom rom to not have the RMM lock anymore? A stock with BlackMesa's RMM START .zip is not right?

There's no need to have a custom rom, if you flash the fix in stock RMM lock gets killed everytime.

First you have to install OREO and wait 7 days without reseting your phone. After 170 hours, you get OEM unlock in developer options and you will be able to flasf TWRP. After flashing TWRP you flash RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa and that´s all.

There really is no way to have root on Android Marshmallow 6.0 with Emmc_CID_11 but you have safestrap so you can install xposed or most mod zips , delete system files you dont want etc

In that case you most likely need to do a full wipe, as well as formatting data,( the option were you have to type yes), in TWRP. The ROM works flawlessly on my phone. Good luck and insure that you have backed all your data first because this Will erase all data on internal storage.

it's possible to install Flyme OS 6 with CID 11?

No because flume OS like all custom (roms, or most) require an unlocked bootloader. CID11 g900v can't be bootloader unlocked.

So sad to know it, thanks for helping me!
Oh man... I may have to knock my rust off and give this a go... Last chance to get up to a more recent security patch for my poor CID 11
( G900V+ CID 15 ) I want to install LineageOS after rooting, at which step i should flash the rom file and gapps file.. instead of the EMMC_15_VZW_QL1_MAGISK_ROOTED.zip... I just want to be sure

Just make sure that you have everything good and backed up. Do a full wipe in twrp / you may need to update twrp (klte version works for klrevzw now, as do klte aosp roms) flash rom gapps and root if you want it. / Reboot/ enjoy.

Anyone have any luck running Blackberry work with this magisk rom? I have apps hidden using magisk hide, Google play shows it is certified, but Blackberry work fails enrollment. On stock, it works fine. This is on a CID 15 phone.
Apparently Blackberry Work does more checks than google safety net and can detect modification. If anyone has any ideas how I can make Blackberry work think my phone is not modified, please let me know.
I've tried core only mode, hiding the app. What else can I try?
towel root
:trying to run towel root massage this phone isn't currently supported
Is compatible with xposed ?
The instructions worked like a charm on my EMMC 11. Props to the Op !
One question....looking to install AOKP or LineageOS which needs latest TWRP to install. How do I upgrade TWRP in Safestrap on the EMMC 11? I only see the new version for EMMC 15.
Thanks
