Hey Guys,
so finaly thank to the Community I was able to root my Z3 Tablet Compact. Sadly with 5.0.2 + Root the "Remote Play" not work anymore. I checked the Forum, but sadly all Threads about are closed.
So is there any update to fix this? Worked well on Android 4.4.4 + Locked Bootloader. (I locked Bootloader on 5.0.2 as well)
best wish,

Uninsall your remoe play first. And google for remoteplayport1.0. 1.APK
That will make u use remote play on rooted lollipop. You can even use LTE to connect back to PS4. It works fine on my rooted lollipop 621.
I've been trying to root this device for a few days now.
The device is running Android 4.2.2 JellyBean.
Tried using One Click Root on it, and it downloads ADB drivers, but never connects.
I know the old ZX1 was able to obtain root, but have had no luck so far with this one.
Thanks in advance.
Just reporting back, I've tried Framaroot, Towelroot, Kingroot APKs with no luck, and One Click Root, and various other One Click solutions for the old NW-ZX1 and other Xperia devices, and all have failed.
From what I know, the ZX1 and Xperia Z2 Tablet used similar kernel, and were able to utilize the same solution.
Any more info would be greatly appreciated.
Any news? Some people rooted zx1 with Vroot, but with zx2 it does not work.
While i was researching about the volume problem,
I found on the Sony Japanese website the firmware update of 1.01 as an exe or dmg, since it is not the original firmware only an update, i doubt it could be used or even could be helpful.
I am not posting any links here to avoid confusion, but anyone who might think that this could be of any help for him to find a solution and is knowledgeable enough to be playing around this area without bricking his device or at least willing to take the risk and responsibility, he could pm me for the link.
i will post it also on xda may be someone could help.
also, i don't want to give any false hope, so don't raise em up.
Still no luck after trying some other methods...
I'd love to root this thing to get rid of all the useless bloatware that came installed on it,
as well as trying to extend the battery life.

Were you ever able to root the ZX2?
Upgrade android on the Sony NW-ZX2?
Hi,
Did anyone ever get to the bottom of solving this issue. As I would like to upgrade the android version so more apps able to work with this Walkman?
No, I haven't found anything that works yet.
Guessing there's no hope for root on the ZX2? :/
Not even Sony willing to help!

There seems to be little or nothing that can be done - and in deprecation asked Sony to support this and they seem recluctant saying nothing meaningful just the usual scripted answers. We all have wonderful music player and as such all is not lost and I certainly will continue to try and get this android player updated.

Did anyone manage to successfully root the Sony zx2 with the root.360.cn or with any other root tool? I own a Sony zx2 that wish to root as well. My problem with the zx2 is that it is not passing hi res signal to my Sony pha-3 if I am not using the Sony stock music app. I tried to download USB audio player pro from the App Store but it says that it isn't compatible with the Walkman. Any input will be appreciated thanks!
Hi for those who want to root their zx2, i did get my zx2 rooted with 360root from http://root.360.cn/index.html
Can you share some of the system apps from it? Or maybe full system dump if possible?
I tried root.360.cn (both from windows and direct on android) it doesn't work unfortunately. Kingoroot doesn't work also. ZX2 EU version
Is anyone able to validate a successful root process yet? I'm seeing some recommendations that have been non-events for most.
Also, discovered http://oss.sony.net/Products/Linux/Audio/NW-ZX2.html today: unfamiliar with ROM development, would this content provide all that's necessary to build a ROM or is it missing things like hardware drivers?
Would love to Android 8.0 deployed to what is a fantastic device (and the last Sony are deploying with Android?).

Hi I just wanted to let everyone know that I managed to unlock the bootloader on my xperia xz 2 using the old adb command prompts when you get your unlock code from the Sony developer website but still struggling to root it. I've heard magisk is 1 method but you'd need to find and download your phones original bootloader image file and patch it I think then flash it. Then back to your pc and install the file magisk downloaded to your magisk manager folder in your phones memory using a adb command prompt
Hello to the forum!
I'm still interested in rooting my Sony Xperia Z5 compact (it runs Android "Marshmallow" 6.0.1). Yesterday I read about two new vulnerabilities from which root access may be possible:
CVE-2016-2059 "Linux IPC router binding any port as a control port"
CVE-2016-2504 "Use after free due to race conditions in KGSL module"
These vulnerabilities seem to affect all devices equipped with Qualcomp chipsets and reside in the drivers for those - if I've got the descriptions right (and my Sony Xperia Z5 compact with its Android 6.0.1 is vulnerable to them).
Because I'm not a programmer or experienced lets say "security tester" [emoji6] (to avoid the word "hacker"), I ask those "rooting heros" and "rooting popes" if it is possible to exploit these vulnerabilities so that a root can be done without unlocking the boot loader and therefore preserving DRM and other exclusive hihlight of that smartphone?

To the best of my knowledge, no. See FAQ #1
Before this tool was developed, indeed rooting means losing your DRM. However, with that tool, you can backup your DRM, so the concern with unlocking the bootloader for root is now moot.
Hello,
I want to Root my Z5 Compact E5823 7.1.1 Nougat 32.4.A.1.54 but I cant find guide with right files for my model.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
You can unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP (supported by Sony). Then you just install SuperSU. Note that the DRM keys will be lost when you unlock it, if you havn't backed them up previously.
How do you do that?
tray this man , if u work say to all

It says "updated to 32.4.A.0.160 (7.1.1)." in the post but the OP (and I) have 32.4.A.1.54, will this still work? I don't want to brick my device, I don't have a clue about rooting.
Are there any other options for rooting Z5 Compact E5823 (7.1.1) 32.4.A.1.54 ?

have patience please see you
OK... look at
youvedone (good user) post in this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/general/32-4-1-54-coming-t3685995
write flash E5823_32.4.A.1.54_R3E_Customized_CH-1298-7257 (download bay link)
then choose the root type
boot_sc_v02.img - with twrp and phh (recommended) do flash ( flashtool or command prompt)
voala
(but I recommend you to use android 6.0.1 with superuser be yourself holding more battery)
Hi everyone,
I was on a Moto X play before the Xperia XZ1 and rooting it was quite easy and you didn't have any troubles with DRM keys or whatever.
So I would like to know what I need to do in case I **** up the rooting process and to not lose my DRM keys.
I have a G8343 running under build number 47.1.A.16.20.
The guides to install TWRP/Kernel/DRM-Fix is quite easy but I wonder how I can backup my DRM keys before attempting that.
I saw a guide for the Xperia XZ1 Compact but would it work with my version?
Thanks!
you can backup and restore your DRM keys. Look at this thread.
