[Q] Can I root my Xperia Z3???

Hi,
I want to root my Xperia Z3 but I know I have to unlock the boot loader first. However, when I went on to the Sony website to do so, I was told to check if I could unlock it or not. So I typed in *#*#7378423#*#* on my dialer and followed the instructions blah blah blah... And then it said "boot loader unlock allowed: no"
Does this mean I can never unlock the bootloader and/or root this phone?

If you SIM unlock your xperia it will change to boatloader unlock allowed yes. Been like that since the 2011 xperia's.

Not true. I've seen that some people have sent in their SIM unlocked phones to Sony and had them change the bootloader status, but I've never seen any official documentation on it.
Bootloader unlocked = No means you can't unlocked the bootloader through the Sony process

Not true and has never been the case.

I read that on an old Z2 post, i thought it was true

So?...
So is there any way I can root it without sending it into Sony??

No, if you cannot unlock the bootloader then you cannot root. (Currently)

Xperia E1 bootloader?

Hi there.
I have an Xperia E1 from o2. I've already rooted it but when it comes to the bootloader, it says: bootloader unlock allowed: no.
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader so I can install a custom rom?
Thanks.

If I recall correctly, once you have obtained the network unlock code to allow any operators sim card to work in your device, you can contact Sony and in some instances they will arrange for it to be collected and returned with an unlockable bootloader.
However were possible it's always best to buy a phone off network as they come network unlocked, bootloader unlock allowed yes along with a bloat ware free rom.
