Sorry guys, I can't read through 78 pages of posts, so maybe someone in the know will be able to answer my quick question: I have an unrooted D6603 with stock 6.0.1 Build 23.5.A.0.570 and unlocked bootloader. Will this work for my device?

Hello everyone! I have a Z3 D6603 with an unlocked BL, DRM files missing, running 23.4.A.1.264. Will this work for me? I'm sorry for asking such a basic question - I just don't think I can read through these 100+ pages of posts. Thanks in advance for your reply. :)

Not sure... My phone tells me there is a system update, but it always fails because of the unlocked bootloader.

Wow, that seems easy enough. I'll try it later tonight. Thanks again!

Same for me. D6603 with Android 5.1.1 (unlocked bootloader).

Thanks for the info Beetle. May I be so rude to ask you, where I can get the most up to date flashable ROM? I did unlock the bootloader, but never managed to install a recovery mod or get root.

Hi everyone, I have D6603 with with Android 5.1.1 (23.4.A.0.546) with an unlocked bootloader (done per instructions on Sony's website). For a while now I've noticed that the device overheats when I use the camera for a few minutes. According to this article, the new update Sony have released...

There was a similar thread, but it was closed, so I hope it's ok for me to start a new one... My D6603 has an unlocked bootloader, it's running 5.1.1 (23.4.A.0.546). What I want is just to root my phone. But if my understanding is right, I need to flash a new ROM to root the phone. Is that...

Windows 10 seems to not allow unsigned drivers. Which is a huge pain in the ass... I'm sure there must be a workaround. My workaround was installing Windows 7 on my notebook. ---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ---------- This might help: a. Press the...

Hi, I feel your pain man... Unfortunately I can't be of much help. What I can say is that the Flashtool doesn't recognize ZIP ROMs unfortunately - I have tried several times. But maybe someone else has a lot of experience and knows a way around. Best of luck to you!

Hi :) I'm a new Z3 (5.1.1, 23.4.A.0.546, unlocked bootloader) owner and I have a question. As I understand it, to get root, I need a prerooted ROM. And in order to be able to install that, I need something like Cyanogen or TWRP. Is that correct? I tried installing TWRP and bricked my phone, then...

Thanks for the info Mr. Elmmyr! Now I just need to finde a recovery mod that will work with my phone! :mad: :laugh:

Sorry for this stupid question - I'm a recent convert from Samsung to Sony... I have a D6603 with unlocked bootloader. Will flashing this firmware give me Android 5.1.1 with root access? I currently have stock firmware 23.4.A.0.546 on my phone.

Thanks DHGE! It was pretty late and I guess I wasn't looking right. Sorry for chosing the wrong forum - I'll know better next time. :) Thanks for your suggestion, but I couldn't quite follow the tutorial on installing the Dual Recovery (they wrote something about a file called install.bat, but...

Hey everyone! I have bricked a smartphone for the first time in my life and I'm kinda nervous. So any help is greatly appreciated! Here is what I did.... I first unlocked the bootloader according to Sony's instructions. It seems to have worked according to adb's positive response. I then...
