Sony Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact rooted, get custom recovery

by 39 comments

The Sony Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact can now be rooted thanks to the dedicated work of XDA-Developer Doomlord. On top of that, they can enjoy a lot of ROM flashing thanks to also having support for custom recovery.

In order to do any of the two, you have to have an unlocked bootloader and be on a stock firmware or ROM based on it. After a quick flash of a custom kernel, you’re ready to flash ClockWorkMod custom recovery.

As far as any potential issues are concerned, you can’t use adb via recovery, but a fix for this is coming later down the road. Follow the source link below to check out more on how to get root and a custom recovery on either the Xperia Z3 or Xperia Z3 Compact.
