So the OFFICIAL 6.0.1 is already out and this is not the BETA version. It's for consumer release.
So how do you get to this eh?
NOTES: Flashtool can be used for both LB/UB. You won't lose DRM keys or unlock bootloader if you flash via flashtool.
1. Install Flashtool (get it here: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php).
2. There is a XperiFirm option there which would allow you to download official FTF files.
3. Navigate your way to Z3 Compact and grab the D5803 version US Variant (since this is configured for GLOBAL-LTE but i might still need to test bands). Or just grab anything you want there as long as it's version: 23.5.A.0.570
3. Flash using flashmode (hit the lightning icon there).
Now there's this "WIPE" Box, you have 2 options!
- Check User data and App logs and hit flash -- this will factory reset phone so you better have a backup!
- Leave them UNCHECKED if you want to retain your apps from your previous STOCK ROM. (might automatically uninstall incompatible apps in the process).
Once it asks for your device to be connected. Do as it says (power down, then hold the vol. down button as you plug the phone in).
-- this should start flashing.
4. After the process you may now boot the phone and there you have it!
-- Things below require unlocked BL --
If you want root, you can use fastboot and TWRP 3.X (I've tested the TWRP version 3.0.2 on the 6.0.1 beta before)
send this command on fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <your twrp img here>
and hit enter. It must return 'OKAY'.
Unplug phone then boot into recovery and flash your SuperSU.zip

If you have a locked BL, then root and install DualRecovery. There is an excellent thread here on XDA and you'll be on TWRP in no time. It also makes sure you'll have the drivers and flash tool and everything that you'll need for this already configured and ready to go.
If you have an unlocked BL, just go find TWRP and flash through fastboot.
Thanks OP!
P.S. I'm guessing for those with locked BLs, we can use PRFCreator and that FTF from Xperifirm to create a flashable, pre-rooted MM ROM...anyone tried? My Z3c is currently bricked (hopefully fixable) so I can't test at the moment.
Another DEV published a root method, both for the LB and UB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/wip-sony-android-6-0-mm-t3337357/page1
Keep in mind that that method was used for the BETA version of the rom, but yeah it's more likely that it would work with the consumer release. I'll update the OP once I relock my BL and successfully gain root with it.
The UB method there has the same effect as mine
I could not get root with the method, i would get boot img failure on flashing superSU in twrp with unlocked BL but to solve the issue i just flashed the advanced kernel for 6.0.1 and superSU flashed fine..not sure if anyone else is having this problem but this method did not work for me.
Do I keep root with locked bootloader with this method ?
Title of this topic is confusing, it seems that you need BL unlocked to get root.

No you will lose root if you flash ftf on locked BL, you will need to root again using whichever method you used previously. If you flash an ftf file on ANY bootloader locked or unlocked it resets your phone to the contents of the ftf file.

I'm giving it a try so I'll let you know.
EDIT: Admittedly I haven't got a clue how to use prfcreator but I tried and whilst it flashed there was no root or recovery.

I'm using BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip
However I was looking at the PRFCreator thread and it looks like if you add Recroot v2 as the SuperSU it should work. Not sure if it will give a recovery though.
EDIT: Okay. Didn't install the SuperSU binary properly but Kingroot could install the root though. Tried to remove it and replace with SuperSU and got a bootloop. However I have a cunning plan.
Xperia Z3 Compact - UB
I could not get TWRP recovery with the fastboot method.
I tried to install several "recoverys" but none are installed.
Help me please.

We have progress of sorts.
With prf creator add superSU and create the prerooted ROM.
In TWRP Wipe everything but SDcard and OTG
Install pre rooted ROM
Then Install RICDefieat.zip, byeselinux_flashable.zip, and BusyBox-v1.24.1-Stericson.zip
Power off the phone.
Open Flashtool
Load ftf of .570 and check the Exclude System box and flash the phone
Install TWRP using Z3C_MM_TWRP_Recovery_V2_By_Serajr
And that should be it.
Managed to get everything working bar the TWRP but I think that was my fault.

It seems that updating busybox to 1.24.1 stericson stops R/W permissions and the ability to access TWRP however it is easily fixed.

Required:
- Flashtool in the latest version from: http://flashtool.net
- DualRecovery by NUT as installer.zip: http://nut.xperia-files.com (Download the correct one for your device and at least version 2.8.1+!)
- Root on 23.0.A.2.93 (Download) for example with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/giefroot-rooting-tool-cve-2014-4322-t3011598
Featurelist:
- SuperSU integrated
- DualRecovery by NUT integrated (2.8.1)
Can be used on locked and unlocked bootloader.
Firmware Files:
D5803 and D5833
- Flashable.zip's and FTF files in folders - sorted by devices
The Flashable.zip i've created with the mighty tool PRFCreator by zxz0O0.
Installation/Update (short) guide:
0. Downgrade to the firmware 23.0.A.2.93 and root it (with giefroot)
0.1. Install the LockedDualRecovery by NUT with the installer.zip (install.bat)
1. Put the downloaded update file (ROM.zip) on your device. I recommend you to put it directly on the device.
2. Boot into the recovery (While rebooting -> when the info LED flashs -> press shortly the VOL button for the Recovery you prefer)
(On Recovery you may create a twrp/cwm backup of your device if you get any issues on updating process!)
3. Flash the ROM update file (.zip) with "install zip".
4. Wipe cache and dalvik cache (perhaps under advanced).
5. Reboot to system.
You may have to wait some minutes on the first boot because of initializing system for first time (optimizing apps etc.).
What to do if you get permission errors? (While installing for example the Recovery)
Untill NUT updates his DualRecovery you should fix permissions with ADB with the following commands:
(tested with command line from the giefroot_V...\files\ directory -> shift + right mouse -> open cmd "here")
Either you could try the modified DualRecovery (installer) by NUT (modified by monx): http://d-h.st/iM9p
Code:
adb push systemrw.sh /data/local/tmp
adb push modulecrcpatch /data/local/tmp
adb push wp_mod.ko /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/systemrw.sh
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/modulecrcpatch
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/wp_mod.ko
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./systemrw.sh
Special Thanks to:
[NUT] (DualRecovery and his efforts!)

Which ftf to use for d5833?
Great , thanks! In case we can go back to totally stock? (For any case) And for lollipop I imagine will have to flash a rom, right?

The "ROM" i've opened to you on this thread is a stock rom (just with SuperSU and DualRecovery integrated).
There is the stock kernel inside why it runs on both. Locked and unlocked bootloader!

Two questions, the .93 fw was country specific, this update doesn't require a specific version?

There's a problem with RIC on .5.77, making it impossible to mount system r/w. Nothing to do with root, as you can do other root actions just fine.
You just need to update XZDR, [NUT] just uploaded 2.8.1, which has been fixed for Z3C on .77. Also TWRP has been updated.
Edit: Sorry, see that you already updated OP for XZDR 2.8.1.

Hello,
Many people have problem with bricked device because they complied many diffrent tutorials and broke their G2.
I will explain you how to root stock rom/update bootloader and back to stock via lg flashtool.
Perform operations step by step
Okay, so first thing - ROOT STOCK LG ROM.
1. Stump ROOT (Without usb cable, working with 20h ROM)
Stump Root v1.2 (Newest version)
-->> Download Stump ROOT v1.2 <<--
Go to settings>general>security and check "Unknown Sources" to install external APKs.
Now install Stump ROOT app from download link. (In installation progress Android will ask you for install permisions because this integrate in system code. OFC ACCEPT)
Open Stump ROOT and press GRIND, then wait sec and press BruteForce, after 1-2 min your device will restart and now u got ROOT, u need install -->> SuperSU <<-- from market.
2. Install TWRP for your device. (Autorec)
-->> Download AUTOREC <<--
Okay, it's easiest step, just install Autorec application (Be sure it's for your model in file name!)
Open, accept and flash.
This way will downgrade your bootloader and kernel. After device reboot u have already ROOT and TWRP.
Now u can update first your TWRP to newest 2.8.5.1
-->> HERE THEARD WITH NEW TWRP <<--
If you download new TWRP, then u can easy flash it via -->> Flashify <<-- app from market. There select recovery>zip and select your new TWRP, it will reboot device to recovery and flash. (BE SURE IT'S FOR YOUR D802 MODEL!!)
3. Update bootloader. (IMPORTANT!!! U ALWAYS NEED UPDATE BOOTLOADER WITH VERSION ROM WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, IF YOUR ROM V20H, USE 20H BOOTLOADER, IF YOU HAVE 20D, THEN USE 20D BOOTLOADER OR UPDATE YOUR DEVICE TO 20H!!)
Now u need becareful, because it is easy way to brick device if you will not perform tutorial.
-->> Download v20h bootloader <<--
Download bootloader to your memory storage in device, and open flashify, press Menu button and Reboot Recovery, when it will reboot to TWRP, press INSTALL and select bootloader v20h zip file in path you downloaded it.
Now reboot device and Enjoy ROOTED device with newest bumped TWRP and newest bootloader.. AND NO BRICK )
Enjoy your powerfull device.
I will update theard with new steps like install kernels, back to stock step by step, easiest way to secure your device.
I know there are many tutorials, but we have still many people on XDA with problems like QS_BULK device, 9008, secure verify problem etc etc. So this is way to bypass every danger things.
Im not creator of any used in this tutorial mods, i just complied few theards to few easy steps

Hi good Job!
I have Two questions.
Can i upgrade my twrp Version with flashing the zip file in twrp?
Which Bootloader version use cyanogenmod 12?
Thank you!
A few additional info for the D802 variant:
-You don't NEED to change boot loader if you're fully on stock unless:
--You plan to use AOSP Lollipop
--You use any JB based ROMs (they should say in their respective threads for the D802)
-If you stick with the KK boot loader, only flash BUMPed flashables (they should state if they use this method)
-I recommend to use Blastagator's TWRP as it has thermal protection that stock TWRP doesn't have
-Only flash ROMs/any other flashables while the phone is cool
-Most ROMs can use the KK modem unless stated otherwise
Correct me on any misunderstood/incorrect information

-> I Was on 20H. I rooted, installed twrp, updated twrp. I've flashed 20d KK bootloader and now, secure booting error
I have access to download mode. What can i do do boot normally ? (i know i could probably flash a kdz but i don't really want to)
i cannot enter into the twrp by pressing the vol down + power, it just ask me whether i want to format, this means i still do not have twrp ?

You already flashed TWRP right? If so then you need to confirm it twice with the power button. It says like format data/factory reset but it will boot into the custom recovery.
please help me...i have a lg g2 d802 32gb model ..its a traded phone...when i got the phone it was running 4.4.2 kitkat the phone was rooted bt there was no suprrueser app i installed the app and then i flashed recovery with autorec now whenever i open my data or wifi and use my phone for some minutes my screen becomes unresponsive is it due to the jellybean bootloader that the autorec installed or something else please help me...
Recovery combo gone
The thread seems like dead now, but maybe I get help .
I flashed 20H and now there is the recovery combo, when I try pwr + volume down it simply reboots . The recovery is instaled, but I only can access it from software (that now is corrupted, so, soft brick).
Wrong combo

You're not soft bricked, it's just that key combo changes in 20H, new combo to enter recovery is vol down + power key, As lg logo appears, release keys and press vol up + vol down and you can easily access twrp
and i ran intro bootloop.. help!
I'll update theard soon to aosp/lollipop support, bootstacks explains etc.

This post shows you how to upgrade your system to lollipop 5.1.1 and optionally have root privileges. This is tested on C6833 model. For other models see the troubleshooting section near the end of the post.
Requirements:
Flashtool 0.9.18.6. or 0.9.19.6 or higher Important: Do not use Flashtool 0.9.19.0.
If you want to root the phone: Rooted XZU on Android version 5.0.2 or Kitkat with custom recovery installed.
This works on locked or unlocked bootloaders and any customization.

Instructions for upgrading without root:
1- Back up your internal SDCARD and your apps.
2- Download C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf
3- Open Flashtool and click on the flash icon. Choose flash mode.
4- Navigate to where you saved C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf and flash this ftf with your phone in flash mode. I recommend wiping apps and cache and data (Note that wiping data will erase your internal SDcard too). To put your phone in flash mode, hold the volume down button when it is off and connect with the USB cable to the PC.
5- Reboot.
Instructions for upgrading with root:
0- If your existing system is rooted using Kingroot read the troubleshooting section below before continuing.
1- Back up your internal SDCARD and your apps.
2- Download C6833_14.6.A.0.368_No_System.ftf and 5.1.1_system.zip.
3- Copy 5.1.1-system.zip to your phone's internal SDcard.
4- Reboot to recovery and install 5.1.1-system.zip.
5- If you are coming from Kitkat just Turn the phone off. If you are coming from 5.0.2, reboot the phone and let it work through the boot animation which will take a while. Then it will show force closing messages and possibly reboots itself. At this point turn it off by holding down the power and volume-up keys for a few seconds. The phone will vibrate 3 times and turns off.
6- Open Flashtool and click on the flash icon. Choose flash mode.
7- Navigate to where you saved C6833_14.6.A.0.368_No_System.ftf and flash this ftf with your phone in flash mode. I recommend wiping apps and cache and data (Note that wiping data will erase your internal SDcard too). To put your phone in flash mode, hold the volume down button when it is off and connect with the USB cable to the PC.
8- Reboot.
Troubleshooting, etc.
This procedure works only if you follow every step carefully. When you are done you can easily test your root status in a terminal emulator or via adb. Please see the attached image.
If you have used Kingroot to root your existing system flashing this ROM may not work and it may leave your system with a partially updated file system that may be broken. The reason is that Kingroot (which in my opinion is malware) makes some of your system files immutable which means they cannot be removed during a software upgrade. To proceed, you should either find a way to replace this horrendous piece of code with SuperSU or downgrade to Kitkat and root with XZDualRecovery before trying this guide. Read the second part of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62936808&postcount=22.
If during the procedure for root the flashing of the ftf in step 7 fails, repeat step 7 with C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf or any other 14.6.A.0.368 ftf but exclude the system partition in the flashtool dialog window. If you don't exclude the system partition you will not get root.
If you have root after the procedure but something else doesn't work, try a factory reset.
Note that flashtool 0.9.19.0 was specifically released to support the new sin format on new devices and some of its features don't work with older devices. So to avoid taking any chances I used version 18.
I don't know if this works for C6802 or C6806. Some users reported success on 6806, like this one and this. For that model you follow this guide and use the zip file posted here. The only difference is that instead of flashing the ftf posted here in the next step, use the stock 14.6.A.0.368 ftf for your phone and exclude system.
Will this C6833 FTF work on a C6806 USA phone?, because I can't find a C6806 FTF anywhere...
Can this system zip be used with other customized versions of c6833 ftf.

could you share flashtool 0.9.18.0 cos I can't find that version only higher.
will this work on c6802 just wondering?
I did as you said but. I see no super-su

You probably didn't exclude the system partition in this step:
7- Navigate to where you saved C6833_Customized+DE_14.6.A.0.368.ftf.*Exclude system partition*and flash this ftf.
Out of curiosity, what is wrong with the latest flashtool?

Customized DE just means it is the German version of the ROM. I used that because I bought the phone in Germany. But the menus and keyboard and everything is in English so you would not even notice the difference.
This method will not touch your bootloader status so if you are locked you remain locked.
If you are already on 5.1.1 through OTA this will not work for you. You need to start from rooted 5.0.2 with recovery installed.

I think you can still do it straight from kitkat but if you are following the instructions with root in step 5 instead of rebooting just turn the phone off.
Let me know if that works.
so my ZU used to be rooted with Lollipop 5.0.2, but i removed Kinguser/chinese root app and no longer have root access. I've also previously installed recovery but don't know if it will still work ? i forgot how to boot into recovery to see if it even works.. any helpers?
Power on the phone and when u see the led notification start pressing either the Volume UP or Volume Down key a couple of times to make your phone boot into recovery mode

"Flash" means installing something to the internal memory.
You need to go back to a "rootable" version and after having your terminal rooted you can flash the latest rooted ROM.
Following the instructions on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...lipopprerooted231a128z2-tabletsgp511-t3100821 I suggest you:
Flash the Lollipop 23.1.A.1.28 firmware with Flashtool;
Unlock the bootloader (not sure it is strictly needed but better avoid potential issues) with Flashtool (use the Sony website to get the unlock code as the automatic retrieval of Flashtool did not work for me);
Root using the script mentioned in the thread;
Flash the custom recovery;
Flash the rooted 6.0.1 ROM.

You cant make the root with the flashtool! Copy the SuperSu (download newest zip) on your tablet (anywhere) and proceed with this: "TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.installer" you already downloaded from the tutorial. when you launch the "install.bat", the tablet will be rooted and twrp installed it auto-boot into twrp and now you can isntall your copied supersu zip then you can proceed with the tutorial
Got it fixed. In my first CWM Backup from the Dualrecovery Package (installer) was a working boot.img All fine now!
XZ Dual Recovery is not yet compatible with Marshmallow and because of this I was forced to unlock the BL. Are there any recovery that we can use as of this moment? It seems that the development section for this is not so active.

I saw that there is a prerooted 6.0.1 with only TWRP recovery installed, not dualrecovery. Can you guide me on steps to get from official 6.0.1 to root status on an unlocked bootloader? I can't do anything to go back to previous firmwares and it seems I have to unlock as the only way to get anywhere.

I tried flashing the TWRP from the site of TWRP but it results in blank screen. Also XZDR is not compatible with Marshmallow.
Did you already backup your TA? You can only do this by obtaining root so it is a must to flash previous FW (KK or LP) then root and backup your TA partion unless you don't care for your DRM keys.
1. Go to http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ and follow instructions to unlock your bootloader. Alternatively you can use flashtool (just search here in the forums).
2. Download a TWRP image of Scorpion Windy (Z3 Tablet Wifi) https://twrp.me/devices/sonyxperiaz3tabetcompact.html
3. Download older versions of SuperSU. Systemless root doesn't seem to work with Xperia Stock so you go the system way, older versions are preferred. Will attach the zip I used.
3. Flash MM FW by Flashtool, do initial setup.
4. Boot into fastboot, fastboot the TWRP image you downloaded. Reboot and you should be in recovery
5. Flash the SuperSU. Flash also the RIC defeat zip. Reboot and you'll notice your just in TWRP.
6. Force shutdown.
7. Open flashtool flash the mM FW but only kernel and the FotaKernel, dont wipe anything. Reboot. It should start.
That worked for me.
After you, need to install busybox from playstore and the SELinux Changer app
P.s I can't attach any file however you can find everything i mentioned (Zips) here at XDA and TWRP. I still need to enable init.d but I guess that's difficult with stock rom stock kernel. Oh, and you can install flashfire in substitute of your recovery. Be careful with flashing Zips after you have a stable system since you don't have recovery and therefore no Nandroid backup

Well then, I knew what I should have done before I lost root. In any case, what certain DRM keys would I be losing on the tablet? I know the biggest commotion on the phones were the camera algorithms.

You would lose camera algorithm (I don't care for that, it's a tablet and its pictures are bad from the start).
X-reality and display enhancements, sound and noise cancellation (This is i don't want to lose since i use mine mainly for graphic projects) and remote play. That's only what I remember, i don't know if I missed out something.
NO NEED TO UNLOCK THE BT, flash a MM prerooted zip you can make it yourself with prf you need the FTF, recroot and superSu.
Anyway if you still want unlock the bt backup the drm keys with backupta

That won't work and would cause bootloop. tried the latest supersu. anyway, i found the workaround and it's been working good now.

Can you give me the link on that thread? i checked the threads here on this device forum and they are for sgp 612 and 611 (wifi versions)
