[D58XX] CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.4.7 + ROOT for Xperia Z3 Compact [20140928]

[EchoFox_]

Has anyone followed Doomlord's process for rooting a Z3 Compact that is running firmware 23.0.1.A.5.77?

Edit:

according to this thread (link below), attempting to use the Doomlord stuff in the OP of this thread while the phone has firmware version 23.0.1.A.5.77 will result in wifi failing to work.

Hi!

Sorry for offtopic.

D5833 Users with unlocked and rooted device. We need us at here for get root in Locked Bootloaders:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-...t-unlocking-bootloader-method-t2940539/page93

Currently the tool can only root D5803. To support other devices I need:

cat /proc/version
su
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
cat /proc/kallsyms > /data/local/tmp/kallsyms
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/kallsyms

Upload kallsyms and post output. Obviously you need root to get this information. Additionally you should be on a early firmware (< october).

WiFi do not work after flash 6.0.4.7 Recovery!

Hello,

Well, I unlocked my D5803 device successfully, and flashed via fastboot this CWM based recovery.
The problem is that after reboot I have no WiFi enymore! It is not possible to enable. The recovery is correct installed. I could start in recovery mode, and also could install superSU.
Do anybody knows what the trouble is?

What I did:
- reinstalled the KK 4.4.4 (build 23.0.A.2.93) over Sony´s EMMA flash tool-> Wifi working again; bootloader remain unlocked.
- I reflashed this recovery over my second PC to the phone: the same failure again!
- Wipe user data/ Wipe cache / wipe dalvik carried out-> WiFi still not working

One thing, what I did wrong at the first time:
was that I flashed the recovery version from D66XX Z3. It was a misstake because I visited the the link "how to root", and this Thread looks like this thread and I was downloaded from there the Recovery image because I thought I´m in the right Thread for Z3 Compact.
After flash this wrong image the display was black, but the phone was running (start sound was audible. I realized that I was flashing the wrong Image, and after that I flashed again the recovery Image for D53xx.
Thank you in advance for your help!

What you're seeing here is because of the mismatch between the version of Android you're running and the kernel -- this boot.img you're flashing doesn't just contain the recovery but also a kernel. That kernel was meant for the .105 release.
If you want a recovery, the only other place you can look at is the Androplus kernel.
Or CM12, but that's probably not what you want.

I also don't know why you're using .93 -- .77 was the last update to be released, and it brought many improvements.

Hi,
the Sony´s Emma flashing tool shows "Running Xperia Z3 compact ....... (build 23.0.A.2.93)"
But you´re right in the phone ist the current build version "23.0.1.A.5.77":

You mean, I shold take a recovery version whith the same number ending like the installed ROM version?
Example: my ROM version ending .77 so I should flash a recovery with .77 ending?
Can you please post the exact link, which is the right recovery?
I just want to root my phone, nothing more
Thanks!
EDIT:
Ok...
- I have a ROM version .77 installed (current Stock ROM from Sony)
- this image is for .105 version ROMs-
Conclusion: the mistake was that I have a wrong ROM Version (.77) . This recovery image is only for .105 ROM
Thank you someone755 fo your patience!
Thank you!

Question: where to get the right ROM version?
Thank you!

In the "General" section, I think, there's a thread housing every update for the device, including the old .105, if that's what you want to download.
I beg of you, do not go downgrading your phone for the sake of a broken recovery (because let's face it, CWM is useless).

You mean, I shold take a recovery version whith the same number ending like the installed ROM version?

Ugh, it's story time, I guess.
The Xperia devices do not have a separate recovery partition. Instead, we here have two options: either bundle the recovery within the boot image (as you can see in this thread), or use another partition as the recovery partition (we use the FOTAkernel partition, which is normally used for OTA updates -- once your bootloader is unlocked, that partition isn't being used anymore so we might as well do that).
Should you use a recovery that's inside a boot.img, you have to make sure that the other parts of the boot.img correspond to your device's hardware and software (read: the system and kernel must be of the same version).
If you choose a recovery that boots off your FOTAkernel partition, you don't have to worry about the kernel version as you're only flashing the recovery, nothing more. What you do have to watch out for however is whether or not your kernel supports a recovery like that.

In short, don't bother installing this. But, seeing as you want a recovery, your only other option is flashing the Androplus kernel (check the "Android Development" section for that).

EDIT: Also, before I forget, the forums have a nifty little "Edit" feature with which you should edit your posts instead of posting multiple times.

does this works with LP (Up-to-date stock rom with bootloader unlocked)
as my devices keeps rebooting now ??

i can enter CWM, Do i have to “wipe data factory reset” and “wipe cache partition”?? if so can i reflash the stock files ? can you give a link to them ?

No.

What do you mean by this, exactly?
If you've flashed this, then yes that is normal since it's not meant for Lollipop.

If you want to flash the stock files, go look for them, it's really not that hard.
I'd recommend you just flash a stock kernel though, instead of downloading the entire (1+ GB) FTF.

Thanks, i have did it

So i download the file then get my phone into fastboot then do "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then phone restarts goes to recovery?
I did all that perfectly but phone goes into black screen after rebooting?

Yes, because the OP was last updated on September 28th, 2014...
Go find something more recent.

If you're so sure what you did is right, why bother reading what I wrote? Heck, why ask?

The date has to do with your phone's software being too new for this software to work correctly with it.

Hello.
I have a Xperia Z3 compact.
Bootloader is unlock.
Firmware is stock 23.4.A.0.546.

How can I root my D5803? Can anyone point me in a direction please.

Thanks.

 

[tlsty]

I am having the same question as hnegrao:

is this process applicable for:

Unlocked bootloader & Firmware is stock 23.4.A.0.546 ???

thank you

 

[someone755]

Hello.

I am having the same question as hnegrao:

Flash a recovery, then flash a superuser zip.
AndroPlus has a recovery integrated, and there exists what is commonly called "Dualrecovery".

Don't bother with this thread anymore.

Hi,

I've been trying to root my Xperia Z3 compact and the link for the CWM 6.0.4.7 is dead. I can't find it anywhere else on the internet. Does anyone have it?
