Since TWRP is not official for Xz2c, you will need to rely on custom builds, or build your own. Only one I know of for O is here - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603893744 - by @MartinX3. It's for a different build, but I think you should be able to update build without wiping data, and be OK. He also has a corresponding ftf here -

What's the FTF? I've been reading the forums and am still unsure as to how to root the phone. I have unlocked the bootloader.
Thanks Levone1

Ftf is the flashing file that contains all of the information and files to flash a stock rom on your phone.
To root, just flash the ftf, and then follow the instructions in MartinX3's recovery thread here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...recovery-twrp-3-2-2-0-touch-recovery-t3821597.
To flash the ftf, you need to use Flashtool by Androxyde or Newflasher. They each have their own threads with instructions / support.
If you use Flashtool, you'll need this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp.../flashtool-android-pie-52-x-fsc-file-t3896454

You really should read up on the process since bricking a handset is really easy, and your questions show a lack of understanding. TWRP is not a ROM, TWRP is a RECOVERY. Your phone has a bootloader, a recovery and a ROM (the operating system). You can only change operating systems (a different ROM or a rooted ROM) by changing the recovery which enables flashing ROMs, and you can only change the recovery by unlocking the bootloader. Screwing up any of those steps can brick a handset.
XDA is chock full of information and the poster above gave you directions for several helpful threads. Read these carefully and most of your questions will be answered.

Flashtool / Newflasher will put stock rom on your phone, (make it like factory). Everything else is explained in MartinX3's thread.

Thank you for the answer. I was looking for such a kernel and I did not find any, maybe you can give me a link please. So after I flash that kernel, with Flashtool, what do I do next?
Look in the dev section. There are loads of them. Just flash it. You will have root

Ok, I looked, I found AndroPlusKernel.
But someone in that thread asked if he needs root to flash that kernel.
The reply was : YES.
So which is it? I want to root the phone, If I flash that how is my phone rooted, how can I flash a custom recovery?
You do not need root to flash a custom kernel, you need an unlocked bootloader.
On Xperia devices generally a custom recovery is in the custom kernel you flash.

Ok, I have installed a kernel with TWRP included, all good until I installed Xposed for Lollipop, that alpha version, now everytime I restart the phone I get a bootloop. The only fix is reset to factory settings, and after that the same, every time I reboot the phone I get a bootloop.
The only solution is to reflash a ftf ?
Well, thanks for nothing, I will fix it myself.

You install an alpha version and it does not work and you blame me.

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.

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.

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 ? )

Hi,
I have a toasters experience in rooting phones. I learned the hard way "How to Flash ftf".
Now i need help to root my Phone, I know that there are hundreds of threads on rooting and Roms. I don't know where to start.
because all threads start differently for me, Just guide me to a thread which has the right stuff for a beginner.
More info about my device.
Model - D6603
Android Version - 6.0.1
Build Number - 23.5.A.1.291
A Little after help like Tips to Install Supersu, Titanium backup, Xposed Frameworks ( Only Thing i Know is the Names) will be helpful.
I'd also be very keen to know this! Without a bootloader unlock.

no , dont extract.
just rename and place the file/s on the following destination C:\Users\(your user name)\.flashTool\firmwares
then open flashtool, , it'll appear where the firmware appears.
alternatively , you can use an app called, Kingroot, to root the device (simple)... and then install recovery as instructed in that post.
Quite Easy, just follow these steps and download some files;
1. Download D6603_23.0.A.2.93 Kitkat firmware and flash via flashtool,
2. Then download GIEFROOT ROOT and root Kitkat with GIEFROOT,
3. Download XZ DUAL RECOVERY for Z3, and Install recovery via PC,
4. After installing recovery, download flashable .291 MM Update and flash it through recovery!!!
5. Hurrah!!! Enjoy the newly rooted device!!!
*Search on XDA for required files or, ask me.
1-Make bootloader unlocked.
2-Install TW-RP
3-Flash the prerooted .291 kernel number rom or another prerooted rom.

Yes, but once you have updated via OTA then just unlock it again.
anyone can try if z5 ftf can boot on xz.
i don't have cannection to try.
flash a stock z5 ftf into xz
use ivory root for drm and ta partion
locke the phone
then flash android 6 for xz
then update ota
it should work
hello ,
excuse me, how do you flash xz premium firmware that has been unlocked bootloader but not rooted? now on firmware security may and want to return to stock rom.
thank you
use Xperifirm to download the firmware, then download flashtool and newflasher. decrypt the downloaded files with flashtool and then put newflasher files into the decryped firmware files. run newflasher and follow the steps. will have to use drm patch after flash new stock firmware if bootloader is unlocked. you can find all those software on xda.
