I am not sure about Sony proprietary stuff since I have not really used any of that. To me the tablet seems to work just fine after unlocking the bootloader.

Updates for the Sony applications like "Movies" are not working for me and it is probably caused by the unlocking. Waiting for CM12 so I can get rid of the Sony stuff...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] krabappel2548:
If you aren't on stock kernel OTA updates will fail to verify. When you flash back stock kernel from an FTF with Flashtool it should work I think. Don't update through pc though. Use ftf files for safe updates, since pc companion might have a risk of bricking the device
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] dvdivx:
So far a few major problems. System does not mount outside of TWRP. Inside TWRP you can mount it but it's not mounted by default. In adb the device keeps disappearing making any session next to impossible. Mount commands do not work for example in adb shell as the device can no longer be found. TWRP does work so far though . Maybe a 4.4.4 rom would fix some of the issues. Hoping not to have to use 5.0 yet as many apps just aren't ready for it. Tried it on the Nexus 5 then switched back to 4.4.4 until the bugs and updates get fixed.

This is for the wifi version if that helps. Also confirmed bootloader is unlocked.

I found a solution for system rw.

I installed the busybox x first. The other ones doesnt write on system.

Then i open the org. busybox and now the app see a busybox installed in sbin.

Click on install and the app remove the sbin and put it in xbin.

So busybox work.

Then look in playstore for the app system rw/ro (free) from liam.

There a many of them, but i found only one that worked.

Press system rw, thats it.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] D_JWhite:
I found the auto root via TWRP didn't work for me. I ended up flashing the binary included then downloading the SuperSU v2.40 update from their website and flashing that manually gave me root properly, although I'm unsure how to check the system rw issue above.

EDIT: I can access /system from ES File Explorer after the above steps
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] MasterTRL:
Is there a way to flash only the recovery without the kernel? Cause i´m on CM12 now, which also comes with what seems to be a bad copy of an early version of cwm. I imagine it would do no good to just flash that kernel over again since CM12 most likely uses a different one.

Or is there maybe a way to flash TWRP via recovery already? Like it is for most other devices?

Cheers

Chris
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] rickylcp:
hi krabappel,

thanks for your effort again and again!

I followed your instructions and get the kernel and rooted.

However, system can't mount as RW. I tried some apps from Play Store, it only allows RW for a very brief period of time after reboot. Is there any way to get permanent system RW ?

Many thanks for your great effort again!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] sonnylumley:
Try updating to latest SuperSU and flash in recovery, this gave me full RW capabilities.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] JAWyered:
Normally I'm all for getting rid of stock OEM... But this is my first Sony device and I'm finding some very useful things from Sony here. There is screen mirroring over Chromecast (which I believe is coming stock with lollipop)... But more importantly I'm loving the Playstation remote play and the ability to link PS remotes for all gaming. I might actually start gaming on the road now.

I ordered the international LTE 32GB version. "factory unlocked" but I'm not sure if that is bootloader unlock or just not locked to a carrier for LTE, I suspect the latter. I'd like to get Google Now Launcher with XGels which requires Xposed, which requires root. If I have to, I'll go back to Nova but I kind of fell in love with GNL with XGels... There are some other Xposed modules that would be useful as well.

Question: Does anyone know, or can anyone confirm these features still operational after performing this? I have no warranty to worry about. Has anyone been able to return completely stock in case I DO lose the features I want?

I really would like to see a developer here that can provide a ROM like Alliance for the Note 3 I have. No loss in functionality from stock but totally customizable and cleaned up. I wouldn't mind having multi-window here for all apps too.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] ikon8:
I'm also not able to mount /system rw, I've tried everything that has been mentioned here but /system is still -ro. Root apps say they have root access though.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] sudd1976:
Thanks

Hi Krabappel,

You Kernel worked like a charm bro, nice to see your still working on xperia devices.

Keep up the great work.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] rickylcp:
Hi Sonny,

thanks for your suggestion but I tried that also, still the same.

But it's kind of weird.

I can only use Root Explorer to mount RW once.

Then if I mount it RO, I can no longer mount it RW again until I restart the device.

and apart from Root Explorer, all other apps seems can't get proper system RW, even they are allowed to have root access.

I also tries adb remount, also giving me "operation not permitted" error.

Tried wiping data to reset the tablet and re-root, but still the same...

I guess this is nearly similar to stock kernel so my question is can we restore drm here? i already backuped mine. just making sure that mine wouldn't be soft brick
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] BigKitten:
Hi.

I can confirm I'm also getting an error on the SGP621 (16GB LTE version), saying that this device is scorpion_windy when in reality SGP621 is scorpion.

Please upload the correct TWRP image for SGP621.

I can't wait to try CM12 on my SGP621 but I'm afraid I'll lose the terrific Apt-X feature I use heavily with my Z3TC :(
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] jaime4272:

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] infinitylook:
Restore it using the tool you used to backup your TA but I think this will softbrick your device since this is not stock kernel. Just make a nand backup before restoring.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] jaime4272:
it did softbrick my tablet so I had to restore it back to sony stock the I did the same procedure as I mention before to root hopefully some one may find a way to restore TA but I'm happy with root....
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] infinitylook:
Did you follow the new guide? Here's what I did. I created a prerooted stock rom of SGP621 using the prf tool by ZX0O0 (the guy who made the giefroot root tool). I flashed it at recovery and the ending was i am on stock rom, stock kernel with root and recovery. After that I restored my TA backup and now drm is back with keys intact

i have flashed the kernel and it seems it flashed ok, installed supersu afterwards too but same problem occurs again and again. there is no system rw in the root.... i have tried everything mentioned above by the respected members of the community but nothing seems to have worked for me please guide me what should i do next. i habe tried everthing reflashed the kernel several times wiped cache and dalvic cache too but no results my way. please help or fix the kernel if its a kernel issue. thanks

p.s: i am on stock rom bootloader unlocked 4.4.4.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] vonski:
I've got some problem too.

I installed this kernel correctly and got root. But then I decided to restore DRM Keys (was it mistake?). After restoring my tablet shut down and wasn't able to boot.

So I flashed stock firmware by fastboot. Tablet woke up, but I lost TWRP and root.

So I wanted to flash this kernel one more time. But now I got some error flashing boot:

C:\Android_sdk\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot Z3TC-stock-twrp.img
sending 'boot' (14172 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.448s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.458s

What do I do wrong?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] kvi:
You should not restore the TA partition if you have advanced stock kernel, this is only possible with kernel / firmware stock (rooted). You must also know that restoring the keys will relock the bootloader.

Now you have to start over: unlock the bootloader, install advanced kernel stock, and flash from TWRP one rooted firmware created with prfcreator. This will delete the TWRP recovery. Then you restore TA and the bootloader is locked again. And finally if you want you can install XZDualRecovery, this includes TWRP, and does not require the booloader unlocked. The result will be rooted kitkat and double custom recovery, bootloader locked and keys drm recovered

boot loop on Sony screen

Hi, I have followed the instructions and flashed with "fastboot flash boot Z3TC-stock-twrp.img" and have now ended up with my SGP611 stuck on a boot loop on the Sony screen. I can get into TWRP options but not able to boot into the operating system. some advise please.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] MajorPlayz:
=======WARNING======

Does not work for SGP612 flavour.

I have flashed multiple times all ended up with a pretty much HARD BRICKED DEVICE.

The only response is a few light flashes and the odd vibrate. I did once boot it into the old version of TWRP installed but other than that, nothing.

If this has unfortunately happened to you, check out Emma, Sony's servicing tool. Just google "Sony Emma". I am not yet allowed to post URL's :( :p :D

I hope this helps.

Note to dev: Could you possibly create a version that does work for the 12 please <3 thanks

Edit: Just read 1st reply to thread and it seems that you developed this on the WiFi only. Is this the SPG612. If so, how did you get it working.

Hi!

Having troubles with a 520 because once it enters the deep sleep state, it'll start getting Whatsapp notifications only when waking it up.

No battery saving setting is turned on.

An APP that wakes the device from time to time would help.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Perhaps you either have cellular data turned off, have no data signal, or are set to only receive notifications over WiFi? By default, WP turns off WiFi when the screen is off and the phone isn't plugged in. I think there might be an option to change that, but I don't recall where it would be.

There are definitely apps that will cause WiFi to stay on in the background (I think pretty much any streaming music app does this?), but those will wreck the battery life if you just leave them on all day. Apps are also able to periodically (~every 30 minutes) do some stuff in the background even in the phone is sleeping, but I'm not sure if this is allowed to wake up the WiFi and cause it to connect.

If the problem isn't WiFi instead of cellular data, I really don't know what's going on.

Hi,

I am REALLY going to kill something!! HEEELPPP!! I tried everything but it doesn't work (at least 6-7 hours) and searched everywhere.

I have LG G2 D802, cloudy G3 2.1 ROM, Dorimanx kernel 9.1, bumped KK bootloader.

I have been trying to create/modify bootanimations for days now, downloaded bootanimationfactory, tried all sorts of things. I still can't get it right

.

My latest try on bootanimations is to install the Optimus G3 bootanimation (attached for convenience).

When I "Install" this bootanimation either manually or through ROM Toolbox, all I get is "part2" animation and then it stops and that's it....

I tried creating a gif, re-creating a bootanimation in bootanimation factory, I tried extracting, renaming png files and changing desc.txt, etc etc etc etc etc

Nothing works.

Could someone please help me?

PS: I have similar issues with lots of other bootanimations when either simply changing the size in desc.txt or the FPS.

I don't understand anything to these bootanimations, all tutorials I found make it look simple but nothing ever works for me, as soon as I extract/change something/repack the bootanimation doesn't play on my machine anymore.

Hi guys,

I had an issue similar to this and have no recollection what I did to fix it. :( I don't even think that I fixed it, ever. Meaning - no stock ROM install for me for months and months now.

I just downloaded some AOSP/TW ROM and flashed. Are you able to get to the custom recovery? Please confirm - I've read somewhere that you can flash stock from custom recovery. I did try a few "PIT" files, with no help.

P.S. I remembered a bit now. I was finally able to flash it through Odin, but entered boot loop. So, no go!
