  10. brother I have xperia z3 dual version why I can't go to recovery mode even I flowed you. and I can't root with any rooting application , My boot loader unlocked: yes
  11. Would rooting the phone give me more control over by-passing my providers country restrictions? I'm in France and it's restrictions are very strong. Can't update apps that I got in the States because it's saying "not available in your country"....making so made not to have more control of such things. Thanks in advance.

  14. Very Entertaining but finally ends in a BootLoop for Android 6.01
  15. Hahaha awesome - highly entertaining - thanks dude, saw my missing step with the SuperSU to SD before fastboot flash... that part of the learning process lead to an unbricking exercise
  16. hey my phone is stock in the purple screen, and wont do anything
  17. hey dude i did everything u did until the bit where u got twrp on your z3, then u realise there was nothing on your phone so u rebooted. I did the same but when I turn it on it vibrates screen goes black Sony sign appears again but vibrates twice at the same time - it won't let me go straight into my home page. what should I do?
  18. literally I don't understand what you've said
  19. You can root it with kingroot/kingoroot with one button press now
  20. i succesfully installed the recovery. however after rebooting my phone it gets stuck in a loop. I did this twice, with the
    D6603_23.0.1.A.5.77.img and D6603_23.0.1.A.5.77.img both caused bootloops.
    can some1 help me out with rooting my device without bootloops. resetting it takes some time...
