Does anyone think it would be possible to flash the Xperia Z3 firmware on a Z5 only to root it. then install Z5 firmware via TRWP prerooted.
I wondering if the phone would boot up or become a brick.... thoughts ?

Impossible dude.. Don't ever think about it even in ur dreams..
Every sony models have different firmwares.. We can't use them..
Just wait for some more times until some one will find a root kit for locked bootloaders...
Different hardware -> different drivers -> different kernel.
if you try it... its possible that you get a hardbrick...
twrp 3.0
TWRP 3.0 is out.
https://twrp.me/
TWRP 3.0 is out alright but the Z5 isn't on the list of supported devices? I've seen screenshots on here of v2.8.7.0 and v3.0.0.0 - how does that work?!
https://twrp.me/Devices/
Z3 firmware can be installed on z5.
But your phone boot and cant enter to home.
Randomly reboot.
If anyone can install rooted z3 firmware for unlocked bootloader, please try.
Not any root program can detect phone .
Why not other approach? Find which part is the app with vulnerable exploit and create a Z5 rom including it to root it?

If we can create pre-rooted Z5 stock rom and flashable via flash tool, i doubt it will boot, as stock kernel don't allows that, so again, unlock bootloader to flash custom kernel. And earth is round. ????

Hello,
So, it's not even remotely possible to flash a different kernel with the the bootloader locked?

Pre rooted stock roms can't flash via flashtool buddy. U need recovery for flashing pre rooted rom..
i have to say only one thing
Please wait and do not do something silly with your device, I am sure by the time pass there should be a way to root with locked boatloader.

My locked bootloader Z1 was plenty happy to boot a stock kernel with a pre-rooted ROM. But, as @Rajeev said, you need a custom recovery to flash pre-rooted zips. Since we have no LB root exploit for the Z5 yet, pre-root still isn't an option.
How about flashing a Z3+/Z4 ROM/Kernel on a locked bootloader. It's the same CPU (810) so you might be something. If you can at least get ADB going, you might be able to exploit it and dump the TA partition.

I'm pretty sure you can as long as they're Sony signed binaries. I'm not sure if the signatures would be compatible though.
An example of picking and choosing parts of the firmware can be seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/e6653-flash-e6603-firmware-enable-t3307158

Are you sure? One of the protections of a locked the bootloader is to make it impossible to brick.

Don't need to be sure but flashing ur phone is always risky if your using other phone's firmware.

Anyone know? I'm running a rom right now but I want to get back to completely stock like it was brand new.
1. download original firmware.
2. flash it via flashtool.
3. flash relock bootloader via flashtool.
You are ready to sell your phone
Or use wotanclient

Hi. Are you sure you will get back to completely stock like it was brand new ?
I' know when you unlock the bootloader you can't restore DRM rights via flashtool or wotanclient. To check it after flash try TrackID app. If it will not work you will not have DRM rights so your ARC S will not be completely stock...
The phone will remain rooted, no matter use of Flashtool, Update Service, neither PCCompanion. Superuser will be there, so it'll show the rooting to Customer Care

That is so NOT true.
By reflashing firmware, any system modifications (including root elements) are wiped.
I don't know how to use flashtool. I'm only used to flashing roms via fastboot and cwm.

Simply flash this .Zip package, the supersu update one, and Make sure you are on advanced stock kernel by @DooMLoRD, reboot the phine twice or something **** that, and voila!
Root acces granted.

I'm sorry, but this isn't news and doesn't require a new thread.
DooMLoRD provided his advanced stock kernel in the 3rd post of Androxyde's thread for the 4.3 FTF.
Obviously, if you have an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery, you can flash one of the many superuser zips that are around, including the more current version of SuperSu provided by Chainfire himself - http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

Due to the amount of people that are flashing the leaked update, without the proper knowledge on what they are about to commit and they claim that their apps stop working, all the threads are useful, in my personal opinion.
Sorry if i disturb you, that was not my intention, just made it to help, nothing more.
BTW: I am on unlocked bootloader with DoomLord's advanced kernel, and it didn't gave me proper root access, so i had to improvise
You didn't have to improvise.
The advanced stock kernel has never provided root access automatically, only the means to gain it by flashing a zip containing the su binary, apk and sometimes busybox.

i have a succesfull root on xperia z c6606 (c6603 569)
I started by flashing old 67 firmware. then got root and dual recovery.
then i flashed 569 with superfix and flashed the stripped down 569
then i flashed existenz's latest rom, v5.
after all that, I ended up with Android 4.3 (569) for C6603 on my C6606 without root access. I still had the recovery, but SuperSu was now missing.
So after 5 minutes of messing around, I found this file, UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip, so i put in root of sdcard, and flashed with cwm or twrp (idek anymore) and now I have root access and xposed framework from existenz is working
here is the supersu fix i used
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
the website that actually hosts the file is download.chainfire.eu, but i am unable to post links to outside files.
edit
this information is really only for Xperia Z users whose Bootloader is Locked. This is an alternative method to Doomlords root, which requires flashing custom kernel, which is not possible with a locked bootloader.
Does anyone know how NUT rooted the ftf? I mean if he did that with a prerooted custom kernel, we(locked Bootloader guys) would not be able to flash that. But everyone say there i no way to root the FW with LB. I am really confused.
Does anyone can explain this to me?

This is a flashable zip that can be flashed in cwm or twrp unlike ftf which can't be changed or modified and must be flashed in flashtool
In other word Nut extracted the ftf converted it to zip added the root and recovery so it can be installed on the air without modifying the system files.a

He hasn't rooted the ftf.
He has extracted the contents and made a flashable zip of them that is rooted. Basically a custom rom.
The ftf that is in his topic is stripped and probably only contains the baseband and stock Sony kernel and needs to be flashed in addition to the prerooted zip he provides.

1. dont flash the latest 4.3 yet
2. downgrade to 4.2 and root using doomlord method or root by bin4ry method
3. once rooted, backup TA partition
4. flash latest 4.3 via sus, pcc, or ftf
5. unlock bootloader
6. flash custom kernel with recovery
7. boot to recovery, flash supersu update zip
8. reflash original 4.3 kernel
9. restore backup TA
10. enjoy 4.3, root, locked bootloader with intact drm keys!

It would be the same...
However you can also flash Doomlord's 4.3 kernel, then boot to recovery and flash the super su zip for root. The kernel from the leaked 4.3 rom seems to be the same as the kernel from the latest update.
Recovery is lost after going back to stock kernel. Root works.
The root works but Mobile Bravia Engine 2 still lost.

Yes, root works like a charm but you need to unlock bootloader and flash advanced stock kernel from .256 leak cuz it have recovery and flash the file from attachment, then you must revert to stock kernel and lock bootloader. Voila!

you may flash *.108 firmware ,root it,backup your ta,unlock your bootloader, install recovery,flash any custom rom of your choice,also do read for bugs/problems in rom before flashing.
if you are a beginner i would advise you not to unlock bootloader . first play with roms that work with locked bootloader then unlock it ,as with locked bootloader it is very easy to recover your device...:good::fingers-crossed:
Thanks man. I did not know that you could downgrade with no root and locked bootloader. I am now on *.108 Firmware 4.4.4 kitkat.

after clicking on the install.bat cmd opens and i type 3 for Installation on unrooted rom using towelroot method

TA-Partition saved with TWRP. I did not know that losing the TA-partition would delete the x-reality, bionz and other features forever.
I mean why do people still unlock their bootloader when they can just downgrade and install recovery ?
Just in case... does upgrading / downgrading with flashtool always work on a locked unrooted Z1 or do higher firmwares prevent you from downgrading ? Could i just flash a pre-rooted TFT for example 5.1.1 and dont have to worry about root after installation?

Its because of the Bootloader u unlocked.. Unlocking bootloader first time will erase ur all datas..
And there is no need to unlock ur bootloader. Simply go back to KK or LP then root it and install recovery. After that flash a pre rooted MM rom.. Simple
And i think after unlocking bootloader u have lost some Sony features.. Did u make ur TA (DRM) Key backup..??

Are you using Xposed? because after many re-flashes and reinstalls on different things, I think, that for me, few of the xposed mods were causing the loops. For example I miss the immersive mods in games etc and I simply can't get it to work correctly as it was, no matter what I try, so different xposed mods related mostly to that were causing the loops for me.

And there is no need to unlock ur bootloader. Simply go back to KK or LP then root it and install recovery. After that flash a pre rooted MM rom.. Simple
And i think after unlocking bootloader u have lost some Sony features.. Did u make ur TA (DRM) Key backup..??

Oh crap, I knew it, but in the Sony developer's website doesn't show this information...
About DRM, I know I have the backup, but I don't know where, lol. Anyway, in the same topic, there's a procedure to recover the features.
tks for explanations!

HI friend I need a post step by step, I haven't any knowledge about it, if I can unlock it with marshmallow or if I have to downgrade ...
And the same for backing up my TA partition, there's a tool but it didn't work for me

So u want to root ur MM right?
Well u can simply downgrade and root it along with recovery. Then backup ur drm key using TA Backup tool from xda. After that u can flash a pre rooted MM rom
