What roms will work with the Japanese version of the z3? Specifically for the carrier AU. When I go to model number under settings it says SOL26.
SOL26 Unrootable

I live in Japan and have the same model. As you said its the Xperia Z3 for Japan and unfortunately it can't be unlocked and is therefore unrootable at present so there are no roms that can be loaded on it. The likelihood of finding some way to unlock it and root it are very very slim.

Awesome, Buidoihiep! Many thanks for that. :good:
Still a little fearful to try it. Also came across this. If you have a moment have a look. Would like to hear what you think.

Really would like to root the SOL26 but still have doubts (DRM Key worries...etc.).
Again, big thanks!
I think the first link you provided is the same way in Here
and the 2nd one is how to unlock sol26 with NSCK code.
the 2nd link and the 1st one is total different.
for evidencing, just look at attachement. Hope this to encourage you

Thanks for the encouragement. I was pretty sure the second link was an unlock key for a Docomo-brand SOL26 so was hesitant to use that key.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we have the same model and carrier (AU-KDDI?) :highfive:
So, you're recommending that first link root method? If I'm hearing that guy correctly he's rooting without unlocking the bootloader which sounds good to me.
Apparently I can keep my DRM keys and everything else intact by rooting that way. I'm not really interested in trying out new roms or anything (did enough of that when
I still had my HTC Desire HD ) so it seems like the best way to go. I'd be more than grateful for any more advice you can give about rooting our model and again huge
thanks for all your help. If you're ever in Kyoto I'll buy you a beer!

Yes, I've got SOL26 too
Sure, you can root without unlock bootloader (I wonder how to unlock it because that's impossible with AU-KDDI or carrier model when unlock bootloader status allow = No)
Because you do not unlock bootloader, so no harm to your DRM key.
You must follow as the guide to root because you cannot root directly with AU-KDDI firmware.
By the way, I'm not in Kyoto but in Ho Chi Minh
Cyanogenmod for Z3 international work with Sol26 or not ?
Is sol26 CDMA or GSM phone?

Well, title pretty much says it all... Is there a root method available with a locked bootloader and no custom recovery yet? I'm not too keen on unlocking it and flashing cwm. Why? Cause pretty much everything that I do apply to the same rule: Murphy's law. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. So I'm just hoping that there's a simple root method that doesn't involve what I mentioned above.
Sorry @PJMOR for now there isnt a way to root our devices without unlocking the bootloader i tryed a lot of software and just gave up ... If you have time just try all kind of rooting software that could be a way.
Shame... Well, I'll just root this one when it is no longer my primary phone.

If you can unlock it then unlock and root.
Warranty is not that big deal. But check your phone for problems and after sony solved them all then unlock it.

Will unlocking it actually allow bootloader unlock to switch from no to yes? I heard it often remains locked because of the carrier

Remmember this.
If you want to unlock phone, never ever buy carrier branded sony phone,s
Actually phone is permenent locked by carrier.
I seen that even flashing non carrier ftf file phone stays like that.
Carrier modded phone,s are locked by ta partation i think. Because bootloader is same for both.
BTW,
Why can,t we make fake ftf file.
Anyone know,s

I've seen it somewhere on github, that Sony uses some unique siganture verfication of whatever, and it isn't a thing that a developer can discover and use.
Or go ask jerpelea, but he won't share with us, otherwise he would get sacked

I,ve seen whenever i flash ftf there is a file called loader.sin which is flashed even if we only want to flash single partation.
Maby he wont get sacked if he just revail the secret in PM.
Does sony pack every partation.sin with some trick or it is loader.sin which send information about size of partation or something else.

It simply came to the price, the price difference between carrier and unlocked was a 3rd more so budget restraint forced me to have a carrier branded although wont be doing it again as I need root. I'm even considering replacing it completely due to no current root possibility.

And even carrier branded phones have more bloatware,s
Maby Like sony had to add unlockability to bootloader maby carrier brand,s do same after increasing demand for unlock.

I bought my E3 from Vodafone, but it is "almost" uncustomized and bootloader unlockable.
Ok guys, I have some good news. In the last days I had access to a Xperia E3 dual (the D2212 variant) and after some digging I found a FTF with an old enough kernel, one that should be compatible with giefroot. I contacted @zxz0O0 and he provided me a new version of getroot (the main component from giefroot) and it successfully got root access but failed in the last part of the exploit (actually installing SuperSU to system partition) due the Sony protections built into the kernel (yes, that damn ric thing).
After messing up a little, I managed to get SuperSU install working, so, in other words, my brother is now using a fully rooted Xperia E3 dual, with locked bootloader! Since it involves modifying giefroot package in a way that may make it incompatible with currently supported devices (Xperia Z3 series, etc), I'm waiting for @zxz0O0 approval and permission before releasing this modified giefroot version, but in the meantime I'm preparing some tutorials and required FTFs in order to get the exploit running and then updating to the latest firmware without losing root access, but I'm too excited and needed to share this with someone!
Note: at the moment this works only with the MSM8226 variants (D2202, D2212), but I'm working with @zxz0O0 in order to provide support for MSM8926 variants (D2203, D2206, D2243) as well. Stay tuned

I remember this method was on 2010 devices, but I haven't seen it on any other devices, so I assume it's not possible. If it was possible, someone would already make a guide or sth.

Tooo excited :sly: and eagerly waiting for your guide GOOD JOB :thumbup: KEEP GOING
Meanwhile I tried to root with RootGenius http://rootgenius.com/
This works on E4 (!!), but it miserably failed on E3
You can try it, but beware of malware, this page doesn't seem much legit.
Our device seems to be toughly resilient...
Just a quick update, @zxz0O0 approved my modified version and I confirmed it works with MSM8926 variants (D2203, D2206, D2243) as well. I'm finishing a complete guide and updating Nicki Root (a script I made for Xperia M that will be needed in the procedure too), it should be live soon. In the meantime, you guys can start downloading the exploitable firmwares I just finished uploading, this one for D2202 and D2212 (MSM8226 variants) or this one for D2203, D2206 and D2243 (MSM8926 variants), they're vital part of the process and will be required to get root...

how you did unlock the bootloader fro this model
Hello
Would like to connect to the topic. I need help on the same issue as boyhamchoi199x. I have Xperia Z5 SOV32AU and I can not use the phone fully. The phone is used in Poland and would like to have European software on it. Please tell me if this is possible and if so how can I do it.
Please help.
Looks like NFC will be broken after flash and you manually have to end the service on each boot,
also do NOT flash the modem/baseband from the E6653 models [also broken IF you do ?]:

Install TWRP image to your stock kernel then flash magisk.zip , or you can directly flash a custom kernel with pre-installed magisk instead, there is a tone of good kernels for your device
Oh and BTW wrong forum, your question must be in AT Q&A forum.

How can you unlock bootloader mate? Mine unlock bootloader allowed said NO :crying:
docomo set cannot unlock bootloader.
My docomo have
The docomo version can't have bootloader unlocked, which means you can't flash any custom ROMs or recovery,so you can't flash Magisk or SuperSU and you are not be able to root your device.
