Hello, xda!
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 which has a locked bootloader and I can't unlock it. It has a newest Android (6.0.1) Marshmallow update, build 23.5.A.1.291. I really wanted to install a Custom ROM, but because I can't, I have thought of Xposed Framework. But I can't find any way to root the phone and install the recovery.
So, is there any way to root this phone?
Thank you in advance
P.S. I would appreciate if those steps can be done in Linux

Thanks for the link! I'll try that and share the results
Hi mate. Did you manage to root your Z3? Ive got a 6603 as well with the same build and want to go to Oreo. I got this phone as a replacement and cant restore my photos as the os is an older version.

Hi!
Unfortunatly, I never managed to root the phone because it broke before I even tried!
But why you can't transfer photos? Maybe I can help with that.

Hi guys.I had an Xperia Z since yesterday,when i bought an AT&T LG G3.I'm from Romania and the man from whom I bought it got it from the USA.When I want to make the software update,it tells me that the latest version is installed.But the version i have is 4.4.2,and the latest is Lollipop...
So,is there a way to do the software update?I wouldn't like to install CM 12.1 because,from what i've read,it's full of bugs...
Thanks!

This has been asked a good amount of times in just a few days. No you cannot. You'd have to root , flash twrp, and then flash a rom that you'd want to use.

I searched the internet but i didn't found the answer.
Why?Only because i don't use an AT&T SIM?

Since you don't have att service in your country you have no option but root, flash tarp and flash the rom of your preference.
I have rooted the phone and i've installed twrp,but i didn't find a good,stable ROM.Can you reccomend me one good ROM?

If you read the "Index" thread, you could find this, which is what I think you want: Stock Lollipop 5.0.1
Of course, official (nightly) for cm12.1 just came out. Find that yourself.

Whats the issue with following those instructions. You are basically flashing a completely stock ROM to your phone, just an older one that is able to be rooted...

I rooted my device using KingRoot on 5.1.1, installed NUT's dual recovery, flashed SuperSU and deleted KingRoot

Hello everyone! Seems we're going to get root soon on locked bootloader in lollipop, so we can backup the TA partition before unlocking. The question is, can we downgrade from MM to LP without unlocking the bootloader?
You know how google, do you? You can, download the Firmware and flash it via Flashtool.

Yes, I did google. Saw a couple of post about the Z5P, but I'm comming from motorola and they are a little bit special when it comes to downgrade, because of the bootloader. So I want to be sure because I have almost zero exprecience with sony.
Anyway, no need to be rude. Thanks!
You can downgrade with no problems bootloader locked or not as the above poster said flashtool and xperifirm is your friend. I don't have access to links atm

I'm new to this forum so please forgive me. When I bought my Z5 from Vodafone UK, it was running Lollipop 5.1.1 and ran all the apps I wanted flawlessly. Since the update to Marshmallow, ACR and NetVu ObserVer now do not, the developer of ACR cannot work around this so I need to back date the firmware. I have downloaded XperiFirm and Flashtool but can only find 32.0.A.6.200 for EE. I would have preferred the stock Vodafone firmware, but will the EE one do?
any firmware will do as long as those apps work. some branded firmwares have differnt splash screens. thats pretty much the only difference
Thanks for your reply, I'm not bothered about any splash screen but something I noticed is a file named simlock. As EE lock their phones to their network only I take it this file needs omitting?
Regards, John.

Hey there everyone, I'm looking at tutorials on how to root and they all mention other models of the phone that arent the GM1910. I'd really like to root this phone, but have seen issues with cell data and wifi if you use the wrong boot image.
What would be the best way to Root this guy, and still get all the OTA updates?
Additional info: I'm currently sitting on Oxygen OS 9.5.10.GM21AA
