[STOCK][D58XX][5.X] Installing ROOT tutorial

Hi friends!
I've got absolutely no expirience on how to write tutorials on XDA and i'm from Denmark, so if it's way off on regards to spelling and guidelines, you now know why.
The goal of this tutorial is to guide you through the process of gaining root access with Recovery on your Xperia Z3 Compact running Android Lollipop 5+.
WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IF YOU ARE ON A LOCKED BOOTLOADER!
Lets start
Download AndroPlusKernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/kernel-andropluskernel-t2937173
Download XZDualRecovery Kernel from here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/
Copy XZDualRecovery Kernel to your Xperia phone
Open AndroPlusKernel.zip, extract the boot.img and flash it using flashboot with the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Turn on your phone, pressing the volume up to start the recovery.
Flash the ZDualRecovery Kernel
Reboot and open SuperSU so finalize the root access.
Enjoy!
PEAS!!!
This method will not delete any data on your phone.

If you are on a locked bootloader - please see this page http://nut.xperia-files.com/ and flash the "XZDualRecovery"
T2U-lockeddualrecovery2.8.3-RELEASE.flashable.zip - it wont delete your TDA partition.

Apparently this recovery is not yet compatible with lollipop. Besides there's no recovery in my setup to flash any flashable.

But this procedure is for LolliPop 5.0 ? I know that Custom Recovery of NUT is not compatible with it !?!
So your procedure for lock bootloader will be:
Download AndroPlusKernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-c...ernel-t2937173...link is wrong: is http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/kernel-andropluskernel-t2937173 and the kernel is Z3C_AndroPlusKernel_v31.zip ..BUT this kernel want Unlocked bootloader ??
Download XZDualRecovery Kernel from here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/ : T2U-lockeddualrecovery2.8.3-RELEASE.flashable.zip
Copy XZDualRecovery Kernel to your Xperia phone
Open AndroPlusKernel.zip, extract the boot.img and flash it using flashboot with the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Turn on your phone, pressing the volume up to start the recovery.
Flash the ZDualRecovery Kernel
Reboot and open SuperSU so finalize the root access.
...so is not clear all ?!?
Hispanico

If i download
http://nut.xperia-files.com/
Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.3-RELEASE.installer.zip
And start the process for 5.0.2 in locked bootloader will work? Is this recovery working?

XZDR isn't working for LP yet, regardless of bootloader status. OP can you please provide proof that you have working recovery in LP, because it seems you're the only user with this

I'm sorry for the misleading title, my method will not install any recovery on your phone - but only root access. Sorry for the mistake.
But for now root access is cool as it enables me to use airstream, vpn and other features that weren't available before.
When a working recovery is released the steps can be used again (flashing androplus) followed by flashing wathever you want to flash from within the recovery. Just remember to flash a compatible lollipop kernel in order for boot to work afterwards.

Hi Hispanico. I just got a z3c with Lollipop installed. Its basically a stock z3c that receieved the lollipop upgrade. If I follow your steps stated here, will I be able to gain root on 5.0.2? I just want to double check on it, because I don't want to end with a brick. Your steps are clear, but I have not found anyone else saying that they did it with success (or not)...
Thanks!

Hi. How do I know if my z3c is locked bootloader or not locked ?

Hi
I have the same question or @Chaleman did you try
@Taurintas
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration". If there is:
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << this means that your Bootloader is Locked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << this means that your bootloader is unlocked

@ukunilus
Did it and it says bootloader unlock allowed - no. What does it mean ? It means that I cannot do these steps ?

It means your bootloader is locked and can't be unlocked in any way.

What I actually did was install this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/d5833-23-1-0-690r9c-t3071901) directly over my rooted z3c D5833 with 4.4.4 and presto! i did a dirty install over my existing rom/apps and have had no issues whatsoever!
Thanks!

Can i relock my bootloader after?
Can i restore my TA partion after?

where is the batch file???

I think you can find the batch file in the guide2.rar file.
Is this an unlocked 5.0.2 boot loader or is it from a previous version?
What about rooting the phone, is it enough to have supersu installed?

Edit:: OK I managed to get twrp to stick but I need password to decrypt data. Tried formatting userdata but stock recovery is back after a reboot

Just looking for someone to point me in the right direction

So I decided to root my phone ...I used the latest Windroid toolkit ..now I was able to unlock the boot loader and install/flash TWRP. here is my issue when I click on the Flash SuperSU button I get this error "wrong device state ! please ensure that your device is in Android! any help on how to finish flashing it would be appreciated.
Windroid toolkit 3.1.0
Thanks

My best guess is that you're trying to root it from fastboot. Load it into recovery instead. If that doesn't work, change direction and figure out how to flash a stock Rom with root pre-installed or check chainfire for his rooting utilities.

Point you in the right direction? Don't use a toolkit...
Rooting is simple on Moto devices:
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Flash TWRP
3) In TWRP, go to Advanced - Terminal
4) Enter "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu"
5) Flash latest SuperSU in TWRP+
6) Reboot and enjoy the rooty goodness
That's it.

I also used the Windroid toolkit and I have exactly the same problem as muelo1000, however all the help here did not solve the problem. I can flash SuperSU but after rebooting I get a black screen just after the Motorola logo. It's completely stuck. I can boot into TWRP or bootloader but that's it. Any help or advice would be welcome? Thanks.

Look in Xperia X Compact ROM and Kernels category, there is X Genesis kernel and TWRP..
You boot TWRP, flash the kernel and SuperSU and you are ready.

You can also have a look at this giude
Of course, as already suggested by @ondrejvaroscak you have to look in X compact forum section to get TWRP and kernel.
Please note that if you want to flash your DRM keys back (step 7 of the guide above) you need flashtool version 9.22.3 (also for this thanks to @ondrejvaroscak).

How to install recovery and root your x compact:
Follow this guide and install latest 'Customized UK' Firmware which is 34.2.A.0.311
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/root-root-stock-firmware-modern-sony-t3558904
- You will use flashtool to create your own custom kernel
- Flash custom kernel
2. Flash TWRP from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/development/recovery-twrp-t3522249
3. Boot into TWRP and flash SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip
- Note: Did not enter password to decrypt device b/c don't know it
- Click Reboot system
4. SuperSu is installed and you are done.

you have two options for the kernel image; use flashtool and rootkernel (step 1. above) to make a stock boot.img that can be flashed with fastboot, or flash the genesis one if you did not backup/lost you keys, or want some more functionality/options. (with twrp this is important)

it will do the job just fine.
whether you want to flash twrp or just boot it is up to you, use the command in post#4 to just boot it.
and yeah it does not matter if /data is encrypted just skip it in twrp, supersu can install itself systemless on encrypted /data partition initially using the cache partition to setup things. copy supersu 2.79 to a physical sdcard (that is not encrypted) flash it from there, and of cause do NOT wipe cache/dalvik after flash just reboot. the phone will reboot once while booting setting things up and backing up the original boot.img to /data also. after that your rooted.
personally for starters I would recommend the guide by @ondrejvaroscak

Figured it out, I was trying to boot TWRP_6.01 and it was not working.
