DOES NOT WORK @mods HELP CLOSE THE THREAD TKS!
Hello guys!
I've been looking at many ways to help us root this device via unlocked bootloader and I might find this one to be the ONE if I am correct. I need a tester with a Z3 Locked Bootloader device and follow the steps below to see if you can obtain root access:
Step 1: Download the ADT bundle from https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and run “SDK Manager.exe”
The SDK manager will produce a list of items and the option to install. Scroll down the list to “Extras” and tick “Google USB Driver.” Then click “install packages.” This will create a folder named “usb_driver”
\Google adb\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver.
The location on the disk is the same as the “SDK Manager.exe”
Note: The drivers are not actually installed yet, only downloaded.
Step 2: Open the file “android_winusb.inf” with a text editor. A good one to use is Notepad ++ .
The file will show a list of devices followed by a set of parameters and Hardware ID's. There are two categories of devices “[Google.NTx86]” and “[Google.NTamd64].” This specifies the type of Windows operating system either 32 bit or 64 bit respectively.
Add the following entry after the list other devices:
;Sony Xperia Z3 D6630
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install,
(Side note: Can change the model number to your device specifics)
Note: If the drivers are being installed on a 32 bit operating system then enter it under the [Google.NTx86] list, for 64 bit enter it under the [Google.NTamd64] list. If you don't know, enter it in both.
Step 3: Turn on USB “debugging mode” on the tablet or phone under Settings>Developer Options
Step 4: Connect the phone or tablet to the PC with a USB cable.
Open Windows Device Manager. Device Manager will show a listing for “Android Phone.”
Right click it and open the “Properties” window then select the “Details” tab.
Open the drop-down menu and select “Hardware ID's.” This will display the ID's for the tablet.
Select the longer name and press Ctrl+C to copy it. Paste this Hardware ID in the text editor after “=USB_Install.
Example:
;Sony Xperia Z3 D6630
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\Vid_16d5&Pid_8005&Rev_0230&MI_01
Now Save the file. You have now created an .inf file for Windows to recognize the device.
Step 5: In Device Manager right click on the “Android Phone” Icon and select “Update Driver.”
Select “Install from specific location” and click “Next.”
Click “Browse” and navigate to the location of the "android_winusb.inf" file that was just saved.
Example Location:
Desktop\Google adb\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver.
Click Next.
Windows should now install the ADB driver for the Tablet or Phone.
Windows may ask to reboot the computer. Reboot the computer.
Step 6: Check the Device Manager to see that the device has been installed. The device properties should now read “This device is working properly.”
Note: the device properties may display an error code “Code 18: Reinstall the drivers for this device.” If it does uninstall the driver.
Right Click and select “Uninstall.” Reboot the tablet or phone and then Right Click and select “update driver.”
This time select “Install the software automatically.” The device properties should now read “This device is working properly.”
Success! The ADB drivers are now installed for the phone or tablet.
Now root using Cydia Impactor (Included in attachments [DL Here: https://cydia.saurik.com/api/latest/2):

If you already can adb to your phone, do you really need all those extra steps with editing text files etc?
Hmmm, I'll hopefully have my Z3 tonight or tomorrow... What would the risks be of trying this, any risk of bricking? (Or is it then a matter of reflashing the proper .ftf file)..

No you shouldn't need that if you have already installed used Flashtool (For example) or other adb commands.
Minimal adb and fastboot will also set it up for you in one step. Please download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Hey man, thanks for the instructions but could you clarify that you have to restart/boot up completely after unlocking the bootloader? I was still in fastboot after unlocking it when I flashed TWRP, and now TWRP is asking for a password, failing on all operations and I'm stuck in a bootloop.

Just found the solution in another thread: Open TWRP, Format Data first, then Factory Reset, finally reboot. I knew it wasn't a long term problem but I'm glad I didn't have to wait for Google to release Factory Images lol.

I don't know... I have Windows 7. I also have NO IDEA why this would happen... Try using a port on the back of the PC (desktop) . If that doesn't do it, try USB 3.0 (if you have it). Also, if you are using the Stock cord, try other cords. That is all I can think of... :/

Wait how would you do this on mac? Does the same .zip file work or would I need a different one? If you get it working please post a tutorial!
Looks like SuperSU came with the TWRP image(no need to copy it over separately). I tried to reboot from TWRP after updating the recovery and it forced me to flash SuperSU to root.

How it works?
It used the Master key exploit to drop SuperSU binary, if the master key exploit does not work it will attempt to use another Signature Bug found in Android.
What is the Master Key Exploit?
The Master Key Exploit was discovered by BlueBox Security, it can modify the contents of an application package without affecting the cryptographic signatures.
Would it work on Your Xperia?
If you are running anything below 4.4 KitKat then Yes this would work on Your Xperia!
If you have the Xposed Master Key Exploit Patch this will not work.
And On Stock KitKat it may or may not work (Not Tested)

It is because the master key exploit is patched by Sony as early as .244(4.2) firmware (if I remember correctly)

Thank you UltraGamerHD. Enabling USB is a given. Like I mentioned, I was able to copy to both internal and external sd cards from my PC. I think that means USB is enabled. I guess you install Impactor on the PC, plug the tablet into USB and make sure USB is enabled and then run the impacter.exe. I still get device not found error. I also tried installing SuperUser SU using an UPDATE.zip thru the recovery mode. It appeared to run just fine then heartbreak, I got "Installation Aborted". :crying: Several people have gotten root so I know it can be done. At the moment, nothing is working for me. The only thing I haven't tried is the ADB approuch. I don't know how to use it. I have JS Terminal from the app store installed. Maybe someone can give me a link to step by step input instructions for using the terminal to get root.
Side question: I installed ES File Explorer and I am able to open the system folder and see xbin and open xbin. I see busybox and sqlite3 amoung other files in the xbin folder. I do not see an su file though. I thought you could not open system without root. Do I have root and not know it? Anybody have any idea whats going on with my tablet? I am running windows 8.1 on my PC. I don't know if that is relavant or not.

You need to install ADB Drivers. Google Universal ADB drivers and you should find it. I think you might be able to use the driver package provided by Flashtool.

anyone tried?
Hey guys, sorry for my bad english. After some research I got unlocked my Bootloader on Windows 10.
Here a small guide.
YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID.
Im not responsible for any damage on your devices. Do that on your own risk.
NOTE:!! Your devices will reset all Data and Settings, so do a backup.
1. Go to : http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/ and select Sony Xperia Z5 Compact.
After this you get an E-Mail with an unlock Link.
2. Download Z5 Compact Drivers at : http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/
After you downloaded this, you need to extract the drivers. Now you will find a file named "sa0113adb.inf" rightclick on this and "install".
3. Now Download Android SDK here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html "installer_r24.4.1-windows.exe" for Windows Users.
Install Android SDK after downloading. Now Start Android SDK and a list will appear. There you need to Select Google USB Drivers and click on "install".
4. Now you need to download the latest Fastboot Drivers here : http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/fastboot-driver/
Now you need to replace the fastboot driver files with the file in C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver.
(Maybe you need to make all Files and Folders visible to see AppData)
5. Now you need to enable the developer options on your device. Thats easy, go into Settings and scroll down till "about my phone" then tap 10-20 times on "build number" after that you unlocked the developer options. Go into the developer options now and enable "usb debugging" and "oem unlock".
6. Now put your device into adb-mode. (Hold down "volume up" and put usb cable into device and computer). After that you need to install the adb drivers by going in the Windows-Device-Manager and right click on the unknown adb device. Select update driver and then search for the driver-software. Now select driver from a list. Now Search for something like "Sony sa0113adb" and install.
7. After that you need to open CMD.exe as Administrator, and type "cd C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
Now you are in that folder.... Now type fastboot devices. When a device is listed you are ready to type your unlock code described on the website. (The link you got by E-Mail from Sony).
Now you can check the status here:
(In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.)
Well thats it. Sorry again for my bad english .....
NOTE:!! Your devices will reset all Data and Settings, so do a backup.
what is the comand for relock?

No idea...I can't find any phones either.
EDIT: Maybe you could just try http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/email-verification/ directly
Thanks, I tried that yesterday and it said it was for Xperia Z4 Tablet Wifi but after I type my IMEI, it showed a code and I finally unlocked my BL
It seems that Sony has stopped its bootloader-unlock support for Xperia phones.

But you still can unlock it, even if it showed Xperia Z4 Tablet Wifi.
I did it yesterday
I found that, when your phone is dual sim, you have to use IMEI 2 to get the unlock code.....that's funny XD
I've been up and down the forums for two days trying every method and app and whatever else is recommended.
asus zenfone 2 laser
Z00TD (ZE551KL)
-i cannot unlock bootloader (Asus unlock tool does not work for any variant)
- cannot root with any one click app (assuming because bootloader is locked)
- cannot manually install drivers via any instructional method online. (They all seem to be 64 bit when I have a 32 bit machine) and there is no actual exe file to install anywhere that i can locate.
- cannot use windroid as it requires twrp (basically root) ....useless.
-cannot adb command unlock or root, does not recognize device (assuming because proper drivers are not installed)
I'm on the updated software version 1.16.40.763-20151201
Someone please give me a hint or some lead as to what I'm missing or where I'm going wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Download the adb-fastboot tool from here...:- Moderator EDIT PPC links are not allowed
Install it.. it will ask you for installing drivers also.. install them... Visit Asus.com and download the drivers for your device. . Now search for Device manager in Windows start menu. Click on Device Manager and then you will see a device named as Android or something like that... Right click on it.. then select update drivers... Then you will see two options 1). Check online 2. Browse my Pc for updated drivers.. select the 2nd one now browse the downloaded file of drivers and select it.. select the folder of files .(After unzipping the folder)...
Click on update.. now drivers will get installed.. now
Use Ctrl+shift+right click..(in adb folder mainly located in local disk c) and select open command Windows here. Enable the USB debugging option in developer options of your device.. At first it will ask for permissions. Alow it.. Now you can flash anything.. for further information ,if needed you can contact me..

I must be doing something wrong. Because I've done all of that. And the drivers don't install properly. I can get into fast boot and that's where it stops for me. The bootloader 20007.img code keeps failing.
I don't know. Something isn't right. I can't even unlock it with the Asus unlock tool. I've tried every one for every variant.

this might sound stupid, but try a different, better, usb cable.
I had a similar issue years ago, trying to flash my first android phone, windows would also give me device manager error. i beat my head on the wall for two days using the motorola supplied data cable, until on a whim i tried a different USB cable and everything worked.

Following Sony's guide is normally all that's needed. Ensure you have followed it to the letter.

If you want help it should not be up to those willing to help you to draw the information from you.
