For a long time one click root access on Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact Android 4.4.4 KitKat firmware was not available but now with a brilliant work by zxz0O0 using CVE-2014-4322 exploit in his giefroot – Rooting Tool, root has been achieved now.

v1 of giefroot – Rooting Tool has been released for the time being which supports only Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact for the time being. It is not working on Xperia Z2. Confirmed working on Xperia Z3 Compact D5803 ( 23.0.A.2.93 firmware ), D6603 ( 23.0.A.2.93 firmware ). Rooting voids the warranty of your device so proceed at your own risk ( after rooting you will receive all future updates, it does not need unlocking of bootloader ).

Requirements

It works only on Firmware dated < October 2014 ( both kernel and system ).

Go to phone about settings option, tap on build number 7 times to enable developer mode option. Under Developer mode settings enable the below mentioned settings.

Enable USB Debugging.
Allow mock location.

adb drivers must be installed on your PC.

How to Root ?

Download the below mentioned giefroot – Rooting Tool.

giefroot – Rooting Tool – V1 supports only Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact.

Download giefroot_v1.zip

Connect your device to PC and then enable airplane mode in your device.

Hi, I was wondering, is it enough to do the steps with giefroot_v1 (is v3 now, hope it’s ok) to get root or do I also have to do the steps with the 77 firmware.

NOTE : Check these steps mentioned by serajr to achieve root on latest .77 firmware ( locked bootloader ).

It doesn’t work on my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact: Android 4.4.4
Firmware: 23.0.1.A.5.77

It says my Device/Kernel is not supported. I set Mock Locations on, Usb Debugging on and Verifying of installing apps via ADB/ADT off, just in case.

What to do?

I don’t want to harm my warranty completely by Unlocking Bootloader.
