Let me summarize.

The whole point of this thread is to see if we can show that there are
no counterexamples to FLT, because there are no primitive
counterexamples, because there are no candidate counterexamples
(x,y,z,p) with

(1) p odd prime
(2) gcd(x,y,z) =1 or x,y,z pairwise coprime
(3) exactly one of {x,y,z) even
(4) x<y<z<(z+y)
(5) (x^p + y^p) == 0 mod z
(6) (z^p - x^p) == 0 mod y
(7) (z^p - y^p) == 0 mod x

using group theory or whatever we happen to have lying around. :)

Unless whatever you happen to have lying around includes
Galois representations and the like, your chances of success
are pretty much zero.
