Recovery & Root for MM .575 & .291 LB

[liffeous]

If you're planning to install Magisk, your botloadee should be unlocked. Why bother with this old solution? Use a fastboot command to flash a TWRP recovery image to your FOTAKernel partition, enter TWRP and install Magisk. You should have root access right away

I have been trying hard to research on this. Magisk requires unlocked bootloader but my 5833 is Bootloader that cannot be unlocked (as indicated). So I was trying to access 575 to allow me to install custom recovery. No?

Follow this guide exactly. It clearly walks you step by step through the 575 flash method on the first page here. You will see that the Kernel files need to be renamed after downloading. Some other things unclear on this thread are explained better.

yeah, it's possible and I have also tried it, only to find magisk was too far advanced for xperia z3c stock firmware. It gave me error messages and failed to root. We'd better stick to SuperSU.

If your phone does not enter recovery after running the install.bat and will normally rise up, check out the following:

1) Disable your antivirus before extracting the Recovery.zip (to avoid deleting the ivoryroot and not seeing the following errors)

chmod: /data/local/tmp/mm_twrp_recovery_install/install_twrp_recovery.sh: Not a
directory
chmod: /data/local/tmp/mm_twrp_recovery_install/iovyroot: Not a directory

2) Connect your phone to the computer with MTP (check out the phone that is not connect with PC in a charging only state, in this case the "not found" errors is observed)

3) Open the install.bat as normal (do not run it as run as administrator, in this case you will see an errors like the following error repeatedly)

cannot stat 'boot_twrp_recovery.sh': No such file or directory
cannot stat 'busybox': No such file or directory
cannot stat 'byeselinux.ko': No such file or directory

Hi, I have succesfully rooted my Z3C thanks to this post. I really appreciate it...
Btw, i have a Z4C (Xperia A4).. Which is almost similar to Z3C (Even their spareparts are identical) which i really want to root.
I can cross flash Z3C Japan ROM into it, but can't seem to flash global Z3C ROM into my Z4C.. And this stock kernels are only for Z3C Global ROMs..
Can Anyone teach me how to make stock kernel for my Z4C?
Or any other method is fine, I Just want TWRP in my Z4C (With android 6.0)
I am willing to donate a fair amount to any developers.... Though i cant offer much..



Note: I can sucessfully root my Z4C if i downgraded it to Android 5.0.. Problem is, i need android 6.0

Is it possible to flash the latest TWRP-3.3.1 using the recovery_for_mm575.zip method?

If you've got TWRP or CWM recovery installed, you can see if creating a pre-rooted Android 6.0 will work: https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904

Hi, just want to share to those got problem to flash kernel .575 for Z3C D5833. To solve this, uninstall lastest flashtool and install flashtool version 0.9.18.6 instead. https://www.gsmofficial.com/sony-xperia-flash-tool-0-9-18-6/
