As it says in the title, and I do apologize if that has already been mentioned: is it possible to install twrp or cwm and root the Xperia Z3 Compact on Lollipop 5.1.1 whilst keeping the bootloader locked?
Cheers.

Is it possible to root Z3 compact with kingo root software?

Hello
Have somebody tried to root their Z3 compact with locked bootloader using Kingo root app?
Just asking. I don't own Z3 compact but i would like to hear if everyone had tried to root their Z3 compact with locked bootloader.

nope
i just tried it with the newest firmware.
it just says ''waiting for device'', then downloading required dependency files'', and ''checking root status'' over and over again.
after 10 minutes the phone restarted, but that's it. no luck.

[Q] [Honami] Unlock bootloader on Lollipop

Hi!
I've been given a few steps on how to root, flash a recovery and backup TA on my Xperia Z1 (steps are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/help/q-root-ta-backup-custom-recovery-help-t3143388 in the second post). My question is if I have to do something special to unlock the bootloader or just follow those 3 steps (1- root, 2 - flash a recovery, 3 - backup TA) and just then wipe the phone and flash a CM12.1 from the recovery? Or how can I unlock the bootloader and flash the CM12.1 on Sony Xperia Z1 (Honami)?
EDIT: !!! I found out that my Xperia Z1 says Unlock bootloader allowed: NO ! What can I do? Please?
Thank you for all of your answers!
I'm in the same boat and I have scoured the net for months and have found no solution, software or hardware or otherwise. I think we are SOL

hello I also have an xperia with the bootloader blocked that can not be unlocked.
What you have to do is to downgrade with flashtool looking for the software of your model, after you have already done the downgrade you can root with kingoroot for desktop and you can install the recovery I recommend the dual here they say how to do it.
if you are looking for a rom here there are some for bootloader blocked greetings.
