Unlocking your Android device means great advantages and unlimited access to the internal system. So, if you want to unchain your Sony Xperia Z3, you must first gain root access. Well, even though your phone is quite recent on the Android market, thanks to those of xda-developers, you can already root it. Therefore, in case you need help, or if you want to use a dedicated tutorial, this step by step guide will easily take you through the unlock procedure – basically you will learn how to safely root your Xperia Z3 in a minute or less.
Ensuring root is easy, as in our case you only have to flash a root exploit and that’s it. Of course, the flashing process can be completed only by using a custom recovery image, so first of all learn how to install TWRP recovery on Sony Xperia Z3. Thus, you will not need to use third party apps or custom procedures in order to unlock your phone – the flashing process is simple and safe, so you have nothing to worry about.
In case you are wondering, the root access comes with various advantages. From the start you will be able to access the internal system of your phone. That means you can remove bloatware and add custom apps from Google Play or from other sources. You can also choose to tweak your device by completing operations such asupdating with a custom ROM, overclocking your Android device, installing a custom kernel and others. Finally, on a rooted handset you can customize the performances for bumping the speeds and for improving the battery life.
As you can see, this operation is a must especially if you want to obtain more power and if you want more control over the internal system of your Android device. But, when doing the same you will apply an unauthorized operation – you will remove factory and default restrictions. So, bottom line the warranty of your Xperia Z3 will get void and you have nothing to do about it – if your phone will get damaged or soft bricked, you will have to fix it by yourselves as if you take it back to service you will have to pay for the technical assistance.
On the other hand, you shouldn’t complete this guide unless you previously backup your data. Since it is a complex and unofficial operation, while completing the same your personal data, info and accounts from the internal storage memory might get wiped out. Thus, it is more than recommended to use backup and restore apps from Google Play for saving everything that you might use afterwards before doing anything else. In this way you can be sure that your contacts, texts, call logs, market apps, internet settings, images, videos or audio files are in safe hands.
You need to use a computer or notebook for being able to apply this root method. On the computer you are using you should first deactivate – do it only temporarily – the security protection, including antivirus, antimalware or Firewall protection (else you might have problems while trying to download the root package). Then, from “menu – settings – developer options” you need to enable USB debugging option on your phone (else you might not be able to properly connect your Xperia Z3 with your computer).
The best will be to charge your device before doing anything else. Do that because if your handset will get turned off in the middle of the root process, it might also get bricked – it is recommended to plug in the charger if the battery status is displaying less than 50% power left.
This tutorial must be applied only by the Sony Xperia Z3 users. That’s a must because the steps from below are compatible only with the mentioned device – using the same root file as the following one, on a different Android powered smartphone or tablet will probably brick or damage your device.
