LOL "to root" the solution for everything... I will root the mother of my girlfriend

Theoritically we will be able to unlock a lot of stuff including HD video with root. Someone will figure out how to get it going I am sure.
MOD EDIT - Moved to general forum as not related to android development
If you are planning to unlock your bootloader, you'd better backup your TA partition first or wait for a fix, because some users are reporting they can't use the camera after unlocking

I think bionz image processor is software emulation of the processor. have to check the device for confirmation. so sony is protecting their algorithm .. just like X-reality/ bravia engine. the bravia engine that we get for unlocked devices are not exact replica of the original one. In future they might introduce dual mode one with bionz and one without. so that they can give unlockability ...

Bravia Engine is lost when unlocking any Xperia with it, so You may be right.
They have some innovative features packed into their new camera and that could be the reason.
Has anybody tried to check if another camera softwre can still reach the hardware?
Just backup TA partition and restore after unlocking.

I'm sorry they're not! They're just doing what any other company is doing. Remember, you are unofficially unlocking the bootloader! Wait for the proper tool and if then it happens, Sony are being disgusting!

At this point, we don't even know if it's purposeful. Could've just been an oversight or something like that.

Seems like a bug to me, as this doesn't fit with Sonys previous strategy when it comes to bootloader unlocking.
Probably the camera firmware simply fails to load completely when the Bionz-key is missing, there's likely a fallback-algorithm in place already that simply fails to get loaded in place of Bionz.
Hi everyone, so I am a bit confused here and have a few questions, after unlocking will I be able to restore TA partition ?, and (restoring TA partition) will that keep the bootloader still unlocked ??, thanks.

Yes you will be able to restore your TA partition after unlocking.
But the point here is Sony's bootloader unlocking tool has not been officialy updated to support the Z1, yet, so we don't know for sure, andd users are using it under their own risk.
.
Please be sure to backup TA！
:/ looks like its better to wait for the official solution for unlocking.
Hope that SONY give solution as soon as possible！
Im confused now, so can I UNLBL?
Hi all! So is it sure that I'll be able to ULBL later? I haven't bought my Z1 yet, and now I'm searching for all the bugs it has, and all things, comparing it to LG G2 (but the G2 will only be available a month later here, so I want to buy the Z1, but if I can't unlock it I won't :/)
There is a warning on the official sony site regarding the camera problem. I hope they'll solve this issue. until then I keep my hox.

Hello All,
With all the chatters about rooting available for both Xperia z3+ dual and single sim, I thought it would be appropriate to start a thread where noobs may be able to get information regarding the root status of the phone.
Can someone please explain to me (and other noobs, if there are any,) what is the current status? I'm particular interested in the E6533 Dual Sim version with Build Number 32.1.A.1.185. since that is the model of my phone. If there is a tutorial I would be forever grateful if someone can be kind enough to link it here. Thank you all so much, this community is awesome!
I have that phon
I have that phon and I try all rooted kernels but mobile hangs and random reboot I return it to factory reset by flashboot and work some time good then make reboot it seems the developers don't work on dual sim phone sorry for my bad English
So essentially no root for the dual sim? :'(
That would be great if someone writes some "How-to..." Root and Backup and wth are those "different partitions", i think you should backup some of them before doing anything else. I am not a beginner with Android and Rooting and so on, but i come from HTC and this is my first Sony Phone and its really different. I know that there are severall Threads about this, but all the informations are split into a dozend threads and if you are a beginner with Sony its really hard to understand what is the "actually" best you can do.
Great topic, I would also like to know how to. Dont want to lose some goodies such as the excellent noise cancelation and the cameras many functions
Guys, that topic we have already had a number of times. Please use the search function and find (also for the Dual-SIM):

That is basically the problem. These "tutorials" are hidden in several threads and not visible to everybody. Of course you can use the search function and it's highly encouraged to do that. But at the same time we need somebody that has successfully rooted this phone to write a proper decently up-to-date "how to" thread so that everybody knows that they can find the necessary steps to root/backup/etc. their device successfully. Although, OP says noob friendly, I think it's also enough if anyone can follow the steps without hassle and getting lost quickly (understandable = decent English). I mean, I don't force anybody to do this, but it would be highly appreciated by many other users if somebody could take the time to create it.

So step one doesnt work, it says device not working.
Would appreciate it too if someone could make an easier tutorial. but i guess the support for z3+ is just not there.

I have successfully rooted the phone with TA backup, recovery and root for a few weeks now and I have zero problems. I wrote a guide for tablet z4 in its general forum. The procedure is a bit different for z3+. If there is a need for it and I have time today I will do the same for this phone and post it in the general forum.

That is correct. Please follow my guide exactly as it is outlined in http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z4/general/guide-safe-bootloader-unlock-restore-t3386915
I have "bootloader unlock allowed : No", it's keep "No" even i deactive that "My Xperia" application, do i need remove google account in setting ( i mean android account) ?
p/s : sorry for bad english
I see plenty of people asking for rooting help etc. I think we need a proper guide on how to backup TA partitions on M & N. How to restore. How to flash recovery and kernels and in which order. Which tools do you need and where do you get them and when everything is set and done, how to flash a rom.
A step-by-step guide.
I see answers like "just unlock and do this and that" which isn't answering peoples questions. And the result is just people asking "and how do i do that?" and the loop of replies with no content continues. I'd be more than happy to help, but havn't had the device for long, nor have i done anything to it yet. So i'm hardly the right person to do so, yet.
Why are you speaking for these 'plenty of people'? I don't see anyone asking, it's only you because you don't put effort into looking up and reading and you want everything to be served in your plate. Everything is very well written if you TRY to search for it.

Not true! For example, you can see 3 posts in a row asking for help (including mine) and noone answers. There ARE plenty of people who need help. And noone is helping. This is a useful post.

If you read the question I posted, I said that for some people the information is not very clear and there are some things that haven't been specified. Especially for the xperia X, why are there so little threads and mods for it? Because it's new? Do you think there will be more mods and stuff in the future?

You should TRY and read the OP again, you clearly didn't get it.
And why i'm speaking for "those" people. Because no one else is. The difference is that i don't have any difficulties doing so, it doesn't bother me. You could've spend your time more productive coming up with suggestions to a possible solution, eliminating those "i need help rooting/flashing/blabla" threads. Whereas you choose the easy way and just be a prick about it.
you choose the easy way

Here you can find unofficial twrp for xperia x:
http://www.infectedbuilds.net/downloads/suzu/twrp/
Install with fastboot command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After flashing this twrp you probably cant access data partion in twrp, to fix this boot into twrp, do a factory whipe and format data partition.
If you want to root flash latest SuperSU: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703

In the future I will buy this phone but now without it I am unable to do some tutorial. I wish I had this phone right now because this phone is awesome and some days ago I destroyed my M4 Aqua. I am into unlocking bootloader, backing up and restoring DRM keys, flashing recovery and making working SuperSU. I did tutorial for M4 Aqua on my Czech forum but I wish I could it here on XDA.

okay, so I can spend some time to write a noob friendly guide on saturday including information about things that troubled me too
=)) finally, I will give you a guild for step by step:
A. backup and restore:
1. fall backup to MM with flashtools (find script for your device)
2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236
3. read inside topic to find restore code.
B. unlock:
1. go to this site https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ to get unlock code
2. turn on develop option (gg please) turn on oem unlock in this
3. follow sony intruction.
C Relock
relock ( use restore code in A) after that use flashtools to flash any firmware you want (like fall back MM)
ps: it is just a summary because you can fix any problem with gg in some other android devices.
ps2: dont use only one device forum to find your answer, try to find it from others. Because sony devices have same problem when flash OS )) or backup DRM and most them was answered so no one wanna write again again about same problem.
ps3: find to learn ^^.
