Troubleshooting - Root Z3 Compact / Z3

If you get “Device not rooted” error message then retry for the same steps again.

Start the smartphone in safe mode and then restart the installation process.

Another possible tip, download Giefroot on another computer and start utilizing.

Tip: Hold the power button to display power options and hold down "Turn Off". A notification will prompt to reboot the phone in safe mode and allow the process.

Wrapping Up

Download Giefroot one-click root tool is compatible with some of latest Xperia devices. Confirm the supportiveness before utilizing the tool to root Androids. Use backup TA for Sony Xperia to take a complete backup of TA and DRM files before executing the root. The camera and screen quality will reduce due to the DRM keys elimination. Use the backup to restore back. Use Giefroot only for Sony Xperia Z3 and/or Z3 Compact versions for a safe rooting mechanism. Firmware versions in D5803, D6603, D6616, and the early versions released before 2014 October are compatible with this application. Custom recovery installation can process but root the device first because the custom ROM replacement needs an unlocked bootloader.
