Hi
I have had my XZ for about a month now after an Xperia Z3 Compact. With the Z3C it took a little while before developer achieved root on locked bootloader with confirmed backup of any TA-data. I seem to remember that there was a bounty up for grabs for a while as well.
However. I see no such efforts being made to the XZ... The only option is to unlock the bootloader and thus void your warranty. The warranty is never a problem with a locked bootloader as I've had my old Z3C in for service a few times without any problems....
From what I've been able to find out, there are not many vulnerabilities in any of the XZ kernels that can be used to get root. And any other weaknesses I haven't been able to find either.
A last resort would be to try K*ngo Root just to be able to install a recovery and backup the TA partition. Ugly, but if it would work you'd just flash a fresh romantic over it and it would be gone.
Anyone with other ideas out there?

Until now... the only way to get XZ rooted is unlocking bootloader (if you XZ support it) ... Before do it is recommendable that you make a TA backup (Universal (Dirtycow-based) TA Backup v2)... to make TA backup you need Marshmallow (downgrade if you are on Nougat).

Okay guys, wanted to ask you that if Z3 comes with app2sd like T2 and T2 Ultra? Cause it's supposed to be a Sony feature in 4.4.4
Did they miss out?

NO.
You must unlock BL to root, and then instal SD KK FIX, and then try to move apps.
But be advise, i dont recommend to unlock BL because of following

He was not asking that. He was asking about native app2SD.
AFAIK it is not implemented and has not been part of a stock ROM for some time now.

Then don't select any wipe option .there is a slight chance of bootloop but you can always flash again with wiping everything clean if that happnes. try to exclude TA partition if it's present and don't worry the risks are really small
Don't forget to use latest version of flashtool
Thank you very much I did every thing and it work fine

Is it okay to back up my TA in Nougat or should I downgrade first ?
Thanks!
I don't think you can backup your TA above Lollipop, I think you must downgrade It to 5.0 lollipop in the first place and use Iovyroot to extract The TA.
Wait for a confirmation but I guess I'm right

Yea, I thougt about that as well.
I was not sure either because im pretty new to TA back up stuffs since i never backed em up until my last phone (xperia z).
Anyway, thank you.
I come from a Z too I know your pain with TA, iovyroot, unlock bootloader ect..
If you need some help ask via Mp
Here it's 02:46am I'm a little tired but tomorrow no problems
Downgrade to. 152 or. 200 of Lollipop.
Use this Guide

The intention is to make a TA Partition backup, so if you advice to downgrade software that implies unlocking the bootloader so loosing TA Partition. I´m one of those waiting for an efective way of making TA partition backup on Nougat! Still waiting

at this moment it doesn´t exist an efective way of downgrading without loosing your TA. We´ll have to wait for a new xploit that performs a temporary root and a TA partition backup on Nougat.
I guess you can downgrade using a TFT using Flashtool without unlocking your bootloader? Maybe I'm wrong.

Hi,
I'm currently in a little mess. I was under ExistenZ and I want to try the latest 7.1.1 Nougat. So I relock my bootloader in order to flash the .223 via Flashtool.
When I'm trying to download the firmware via XperiFirm, I click on "Chek all" and I have always "N/A" instead of see the firmware number :/
I'm under Linux Mint 18.
Any hint to bypass this problem ?
Thanks in advance

I would try reinstalling Flashtool first and see if that helps.
Why did you relock your bootloader though? I don't think this is a required step.

I reinstall multiple times, also try the XperiFirm Windows version using mono ! Same issues :/
I relock it because I want to try the pure stock experience once a time

Well then I don't know how to fix that problem.
If you want though...
I have uploaded 6.0.1 / 7..0 and 7.1.1 Firmwares for both Xperia XZ and Xperia XZ Dual to my google drive.
If you wish to use it here is the link to the folder: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1-5Lr_Sntl5bzU2eEZCaFA3azg
I don't remember exactly from which countries the firmwares I downloaded and uploaded there are.
Most are either Dutch or Customized Germany firmwares.
Otherwise if you want a different specific firmware, you'll have to figure out a way to download it yourself

The country of the firmware matter a lot ? Or I can still have the French language and the OTA ?

No problem.
You can still change language yes.
And you can still get OTA updates (when bootloader is relocked)

By the way did you have any problems relocking the bootloader? Did you restore TA backup first or what was your process.

Okay I've just read the last step and it seems clear to me. Just pushing back TA backup to phone using ADB automatically relocks bootloader. Didn't know that yet
Thanks.. didn't read that part very well yet, although I did use your guide to get rooted when I just bought my XZ a few months ago :good:

Xpericheck.com also put links to ftf of some variants, so this can e used as a substitute for not working xperifirm. The country variants doesn't differ much - mostly by the number of preloaded apps (some have facebook/spotify/avg installed as system apps) and by type of icons shown (nfc icon, lte vs. 4g icon, in NOBA you have icon indicating 2g/3g/4g even while roaming).

As soon as the bootloader is unlocked, you are no longer able to update (OTA). You have to flash the firmware manually. You can download the current version of your firmware with Xperifirm, then flash it with Newflasher. Don't forget to backup all your apps and data (pictures,...) before!
