How are you trying to root? the best way is to flash root again is by using TWRP. Good luck. :fingers-crossed: The TWRP thread has methods on how to do this.

my firmware version is: K0T49H.P901XXUANC4
help!
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.

I still have an unlocked bootloader since flashtool can lock and unlock it in a matter of a second.
Went back again in KK rooted with twrp recovery.
Wiped data, cache, dalvik.
Flashed D6603_23.4.A.1.232_Customized_US_SuperSU_XZDR2.8.2 1 from the link above and ... CWM recovery report install from sdcard completed after 1s and nothing more. Am still booting in KK after that.
This didn't work for me. Am losing it now with this phone.
Am I missing sthg ? Any advice ?
Can't use PRFCreator, am under mac os...
Thanks to all for your help

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 ? )

big thanks man, you saved me $500 on that one !
I had Android 5.0 (PB1) and was rooted. I updated to Marshmallow using the posted method, and everything went well, but I did lose root access after updating to Marshmallow, which I did expect. I did downgrade to 5.0 (PB1) and tried to root using the posted directions, but to no avail. I am now attempting to update back to marshmallow. I also have a LOCKED bootloader.
Goto rooting the S5 thread as locked 6.0.1 is rooted for days now.

So I still can root with 6.01 with a locked bootloder?
No, you cannot. This is discussed in numerous threads. Such as Muniz_ri's root thread and the unlock bootlooder thread. Please search before posting a thread which this has been mentioned. Thank you
Got to downgrade then root etc..

I read that article, but you need to be rooted do that, I tried to downgrade to 5.0 (PB1) and tried to root according to the directions from the link that is also referenced to on that page, but it did not work. Is there a specific way to downgrade to 5.0 (PB1) and to root? What iI did was I used Odin and flashed the PB1 image and then tried the rooting method mentioned, but it did not work. If there is a specific way to downgrade to PB1 and root, then I can follow the directions that you suggested to me.

i did this a bunch of times with my S5 with a locked bootloader (i have a Toshiba 11 emmc) --
flash stock PB1 and follow the Get Root instructions on PB1, http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
then follow upgrade instructions for locked bootloader to PD1. try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ow-to-flash-custom-6-0-1-roms-locked-t3393943 (this worked for me)

I was initially on PB1 with root access, and looking back, I should have followed the link of how to unlock the boot loader and to update to PD1. Unfortunately, I followed the directions on the last link you gave me, the one you said that didn't work for you.....the one about updating to PD1 for locked boot loaders. Unlike you, it worked for me. I was on PD1 without a problem, but I wasn't rooted.. So I tried to downgrade back to PB1 and then follow the rooting directions, but it didn't work for me.
From what I have been told, since I upgraded to 6.0 (PD1), it is IMPOSSIBLE to downgrade to 5.0 and root. Is this correct?
Also, if that is the case, then is it possible for me to apply a pre rooted 5.0 image, so I can unlock the blootloader and update to 6.0?
Thanks in advance.
THERE IS NO ROOT FOR PD1 (MashMellow) for LOCKED BOOTLOADER yet. Once you're on MM 6.0 you will lose root. If you want root, you need to downgrade back to PB1 (LP), then get root working again. Once up upgrade from PB1 LP to 6.0 MM you will lose root.

I am aware that once I got to PD1, I will lose root. I am also aware that I need to downgrade to PB1 and get root working again, but that is my precise problem. I have gotten back to PB1 flashing PB1 image, but I can't seem to get it rooted, at least not by following the directions mentioned on http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370.
Question. After flashing back to PB1, do you I need to flash the PB1 bootloader? For some reason, I am unable to root when I get back to PB1.

You don't need to flash PB1 bootloader. Did you try install Kroot manually as suggested? Please show me where it failed? Did you run root.bat and if not working install Kroot manually and run roo2.bat.

I can tell you that when I tried to run the root and root2 batch files, I got a message that said the files were missing, so I looked at the root.bat file, and I ran the individual tasks in the batch file manually., including the manual install of king root. When I ran king root, it said no methods were available.

Thank you so very much!!! I ran the root.bat file in regular mode, and not as administrator, and it worked!!! I didn't think it would matter, but apparently it did. I now have root access on PB1. Unfortunately, I am unable to unlock the bootloader as I have a Toshiba 11 emmc.
Hi Everyone, I am stuck for forever on this rom and have been searching on how to root the boc4 version, because i want to move to 6.0.1 with the help of flashfire, and it requires root in order to work, any help would greatly be appreciated. Ty.

Easiest would be to ODIN to PB1, root that, then use the SafeStrap from that load to run any PB1 rom or upgrade to PD1
To ODIN and root PB1 follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
ODIN to PB1 is found in the section "Prepare your phone for root"
Root is in the first part of the OP, I did from the "very important" until line 5 (skipping line 2)
Reboot phone open Safestrap app and Click Reboot To Recovery. If during this process you every get stuck on samsung screen.
Pull battery reboot phone to bootloader (VolDwn+Pwr+Home) load a PB1 rom such as https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911967916 from @muniz_ri
Once you load the rooted PB1 you can unlock the bootloader and follow my post on how I updated at http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...0-keeproot-t3149784/post67248881#post67248881
Can i not just download the 6.0.1 firmware from sammobile and upgrade through odin, Cause I am concerned i will brick my phone or smth and I am not at home and don't have a laptop with (will have to use a public one). Thanks
Updating directly to PD1 is possible if you can find a tar file, but PD1 is not rootable without the unlocked bootloader which can only be achieved through PB1.

Don't know how far you want to go but just ODIN back to NCG, TowelRoot, install FlashFire and go to muniz_ri's root thread. Check your CID by using phone info app and you may be able to unlock your device if you've got the 15 eMMC chip. Currently the 11 chip is work in progress for unlocking the bootloader....but do as you wish to root...I'm 'ol school....lol
I have Galaxy S6 (920F) with Android Nougat.
I have managed to install TWRP Recovery on my device and it is allowing me to install .zip files. But my phone is Not ROOTED.
So my question is,
If I flash .zip(s) now that are made for my device, will it be installed successfully?
or my device will stuck on bootloop?
Well, if you are flashing some files into directories that don't require root to access, it will work.
But lets say you want to flash ported system app (like message app). It will not work, since it requires flashing into \system and that directory requires root to be accessed and modified. :good:
