No
You need custom kernel with built in recovery to use this method. For locked bootloaders, your method is useless as you will remove recovery during 2nd step. I would advise to bring down this topic as users with LB will end up with unrooted and unrootable 5.1.1 FW. You should use update via pre-rooted package instead.
For unlocked bootloader you just flash new ROM, boot custom kernel, install root.. Nothing new here
Just follow this guide. It works fine on Lollipop 5.1.1, I did it on my phone without problem, however, do a backup before you try it.

If you already have this, why not just use the PRF creator? Seems to me that method saves a couple of steps and it worked fine for me when upgrading to 5.02 and 5.1.1.
This method requires an unlocked boatloader. OP please mentioned that in your post

I don't think flashtool backups your TA partition. So if you didn't backup your TA before unlocking the boatloader, congratulations you have just lost your DRM keys forever

Lockin your bootloader does NOT restore TA partition. It just lockes the bootloader again without the DRM keys. Use TA backup to backup before unlocking. See the comment and picture above. The first three lines should say (ok)..... If u get unknown error... Its impossible to restore your drm keys.... Unless u backed it up.
awh just checked and ya its unknown error.. What did i lose when i lost the drm key??

so what exactly did i lose along with drm keys? As far as i know i lost nothing. I get the official updates and everything works just fine.

Sony Bionz X image processing engine which helps to reduce the noise etc in your camera, noise cancelling, x reality super vivid image enhancement, PlayStation play etc. There are few threads around how to restore those lost DRM protected features but I'm not sure they are 100% working.
Have a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672
Like the person above said locking your bootloader doesn't restore your DRM keys. It just sets your bootloader status to locked, which helps you to use official Sony update services such as Sony PC companion. Always remember to research before any modifications.

Hi guys...
Wanna deodex your firmware even you have device with locked bootloader
I was trying to deodex my KK ROM but couldn't becouse we have problems with mounting system in recovery...
I tried absolutely everything I could remember but..without any luck.
Then I remembered one cool trick...
So what I did...and you should
Read careful :
1. Flash firmware .534 (yes..again) with flashtool
2. Root and flash recovery
3. Flash 681 firmware by NUT prerooted - through recovery NUT flashable ROM
DON'T RESTART OR POWER OFF DEVICE - HIT BUTTON "HOME"
4. Flash Krab deodex patch DEODEX patch
- You can flash what ever MOD/FONTs/any flashable ZIP you have...
Flash it now - you won't be able to able to flash it later...
5. Power device off
6. Flash stripped kernel .... STRIPPED ftf
....and enjoy your deodexed rooted KitKat

You can mount system with adb shell and try to backup.
That's the way - for now....
Flash, deodex and watch what are you doing until we get fully working recovery

Hey guys！
Some of you maybe experiencing a X-REALITY lose after BL unlock(mostly).I just found a way to fix this problem.I`m not a coder or developer,so I`ll make it easy.
1.Whatever firmware you`re on,first backup all your files from the build-in storage,the next steps will delete all of them.
2.Use flashtool`s BLU function to relock the BL (IMPORTANT!)
3.Flash the official FW17.1.A.2.69 (MUST BE!)
4.After initial boot,you get your X-reality back with locked BL
5.Now use flashtool unlock the BL again (If you boot into the system,you`ll find X-reality still functional)
6.Proceed install the recovery kernel via fastboot,then the roms you like
7.Now you have a fully functional X-reality with a custom rom.
For developers,things to be noticed:
When I flashed official FW17.1.A.2.69 under locked BL via flashtool, at the end of flash log I found an extra rewriting operation
to the TA file comparing to the FW17.1.1.A.0.402 (which there was no logs).The unlock and relock action rewrites
the TA file,so I thought it`s all about the TA file.No matter what rom or kernel you use.
Hope this would help you guys develop sth.
Tested environment:
D6503
Official FW17.1.1.A.0.402 rooted
RomAur v3.1
Official FW17.1.1.A.0.402 kernel
Doomlord kernel V09

Personally, I don't see the big deal with X-Reality. Wouldn't people want to know what the picture looks like on all devices not just their own? Maybe it's just me.
I also don't get why so many want to have something that makes everything look wrong. I'd prefer if I could use my screen calibration tool and have applied to the system.

Obviously Sony gives us this function isn`t a waste.It`s a useful stuff viewing pics or videos.
I don`t take much attention about the color "accurate" or "reduction",afterall,it`s just a mobile phone display.
Of course you could disable it if you don`t like those colorish style,but it`s good to have this function rather than not.
No offense mate, it`s just like foods,some of you maybe like sweety things,others like hot things.
Actually, I quite like X-Reality. It gives a very nice colour rendering, not crazy like AMOLED but a nice subtle colour boost and looks amazing, especially when watching YouTube videos.
Bump!!
Well done OP for finally figuring it out!
Tested on two occasions and this method works 100%.
Thanks again.

X reality is horrible for video, cause ghosting and make things look grainy, they should just include an option for jpeg only.
I don't know if I can be arsed trying to recovery X-Reality, I've just spent all afternoon configuring my phone again.
What's the easiest way to back up all my settings then so I can do this install method? Is it worth restoring my TA first?

Hello there.. Well this is my first ever post on XDA and to be honest I just made an account to THANK YOU for your marvelous achievement regarding this Bootloader disease. I was on .314 with unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, everything was working fine untill I came to notice after a month that X-Reality is not working since I unlocked the damnloader. I have been nearly searching web for more than 10 hours yet no luck whatsoever to get back the X-Reality function. And then I found your thread and took me 2 more hours to find that Taiwan firmware and download it. Anyways to cut short, the whole process you have described works perfectly and Thankyou sooooo much once again for giving me my X-Reality back :good: :laugh: Now I can see .402 OTA in my notifications and gona try to update from there...
Good, I used this, I installed existenz 3.1.5 with bootloader unlocked and work it. I tried with envi-rom but doesn't work
Can i do this to recover locked bootloader? I unlocked it with no backup.

I unlocked it with no backup TA too.. And the answer is no, you can't recover TA DRM keys, I tried recover TA partition (I did backup before, with .55 locked), on 402 and 314 stock, and I can't recovery xreality only on custom roms

Ahh, I see. So after flashing the TW firmware, you have to stick to using .69 or use a custom rom?
That sucks as I was hoping I could recover x-reality and flash to 4.4.4..
Hello,
Recently managed to get my hands on a Z3 via Three UK and even though the Z3 isn't listed on the Sony Developers website as a phone you can unlock, if you follow the procedures for the Z3 Compact it takes your IMEI and unlocks perfectly fine.

Btw, did u check whether X-reality,super vivid & screen mirrorring are still working as drm keys are wiped during unlocking. i dn want miss these features for this newborn beauty
Three is selling the Z3? Damn it's not even listed on their site or anything, did you go into one of their stores and luck out on them having stock?
Also, nice. Might unlock mine soon when interesting development arrives for our devices.

I haven't checked, though those features are still present. Checking through the various screen modes I can't see any discernible difference between them. Screen mirroring I can't test as I've nothing to test it with.

I knew three had them in, stores took delivery of them all today, though they have been rather quiet about the launch and the website hasn't even been updated. They DO have them though, I had to pester my local store to actually bring one out, but I got there in the end! I did make a point of saying that if it was another iPhone launch things would be different.

So like some of the carrier based phones had bootloader unlock allow as No. Is it the same guys?
Do you see any significant difference in camera? cause It was slightly affected. Not that noticeable though.
I have a carrier-based phone but mine is set to unlock allowed: Yes

I have not installed the SDK, in fact I don't really see a way to install it, looks to me like you just copy the files somewhere to use it?
I have the adb drivers installed using the following package : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
I followed the instructions from another post, I downloaded the eclipse android sdk and installed it. After that, I updated the usb driver to support fastboot. A bit more complicated than the one you followed but it worked for me.
Have you tried running installer and cmd as administrator?
Sent from my D6653
Does anyone have a definitive list of what is, or might be, affected?
I am desperate for root but if it's gonna kill the camera or anything important, I'll wait until someone finds an exploit. If it's crap like TrackID, Walkman, or Sony's Unlimited stuff I don't care, the reason I want root is to get rid of that stuff anyway!

Yes ran as adminstrator, can you elucidate on how to update the usb driver? I believe the batch file I referenced does do that but I can check.
I've updated my device to B330 (of course), but I need root too. I didn't see a way to do this at the moment, so I've done a few bits to make it happen.
The process for rooting your device is as follows:
- Download my patched boot image - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid)
- Extract the zip file
- Reboot to bootloader ('adb reboot bootloader' or power on with cable connected and volume down pressed)
- Use fastboot to flash the patched boot image ('fastboot flash boot boot.policypatched.b330.img')
- Reboot device and push latest SuperSU zip (must be >2.50) to /sdcard
- Reboot to bootloader and flash TWRP
- Reboot device and start recovery ('adb reboot recovery')
- Flash the SuperSU zip
- Reboot (flash stock recovery image back if desired)
- Hey presto, you'll be rooted! Any questions, feel free to ask.
I will build this to a full automated 'superboot' (auto root) in due course, but this should get everyone going.
Note that you should not apply future OTAs after rooting without rolling back first (maybe grab a boot and /system backup before flashing the above).
Enjoy!

Well done!
But you should have done a bit more research, as there was a post saying that the multi tool does that already
No biggie, I like to do my own thing. And it's part of something bigger...

isn’t it enough to flash @sminki ’s version of TWRP (TWRPPLK) to install SuperSU?
It should work for MM like @lockmunk wrote here: -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64747295&postcount=3

If you have to flash a boot image, then via recovery flash SU, what exactly is in this boot image? As that's no different to what people already do... just wondering - edit: ah ok, patched policy, it says so..

People are too quick to think that because something has been changed (in this case security policy) that we'll have CM16 running by the weekend...
It's great to see Paul O'Brien on the honor 7 scene! [emoji2]

I'd also like to know this, I'm on B330 and I haven't unlocked the bootloader yet either. Would this be needed for kingroot, I presume not?
EDIT: I've just tried the app and it won't let me root through that so I'm presuming you need the PC application.
It will say cannot root but if you click it anyway it will work

It gets to 28% and then says it can't root. I'm on b330, what firmware are you on?
Update: Ok, so it works on the PC but not via the app.
Update2: Ok guys, I DO NOT recommend using kingroot via PC when on firmware 330 as after a restart I can only boot into rescue mode. I'm wondering if I needed an unlocked bootloader first :/ After many attempts I managed to reinstall my firmware via sd card.

No worries, it was sorted in the end. A full firmware installation from the dload folder on the SD card, wiping everything, was the only way after I had that boot problem.
kingroot suxs, feels like an application that is filled with virus.

Dont forget Say thanks :good: :good:
Great job, mate. Working without any issue. In fact, this release feels smoother than the previous one. I would like to add that sometimes after updating all google apps they show a message saying that there's not internet and try again. All you have to do is remove the last line on your hosts file (/etc/hosts). This issue is not always happening but just in case.
Thanks again, man.
hello panchukles, can you explain what is difference from .570 to .575 firmware?

You can't flash this with flashtool. You need to flash in recovery.

This ROM only can flash via recovery. Flashtool use for flash "FTF" files (not "zip") . You don't need unlock bootloader for flash this ROM.
Is there anyone experiencing a poor Wi-Fi problem on this ROM?
I'm currently on 6.0.1 (Z3 - D6653) - 23.5.A.0.575 non-rooted.
Do you recommend I do a clean wipe to install this? Or can I install on top?

You need to root your phone and install custom recovery before you can install this ROM.
