There aren't many new topics on this model so here we go,
My z3 stock came with 5.0.1 and as far as i know never (the 6616) had the 4.4 as an option. SO downgrading didn't work, so i'm stuck trying to root this with 5.0.1 and after two days of browsing this site there really doesn't seem to be a way to do so. Eventually i said $%#* it and rooted it using kingroot but after rooting it, root checker passed the root but would not give proper access when installing root apps such as busybox and the ta backup tool.
So i didn't realize that the keys ive been trying to save are useless anyways if i update android and the main reason for me going through this is i really don't like 5.0.1. Only thing i haven't really looked into doing is seeing if kingroot will let me unlock the bootloader then trying to flash an update. SO has anyone successfully updated a 6616 z3 (to 6) who didn't start off with 4.4?
