To get the stock ROM, i recommend you to download the Flash Tool for sony smart phones. It has all the firmwares (Z3 included). Every time I screw up my phone, I flash back to the stock ROM.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] squabbi:
But I have the D6653 and it flashes perfectly! They are sometimes buggy but so far the experience is quite solid.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] oceanax:
You changed the Updater script? I'm too lazy to do it hence having my phone not being able to get recognise by CM nightlies. I heard that they used z3 to detect device instead of codename, "leo".

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] squabbi:
I'm trying top build CWM for CM kernel. I'll see how that goes. :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] squabbi:
Its strange, I didn't have to change anything! I flashed TWRP and then flashed CM12 nightlies! :rolleyes:

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] squabbi:
I'm downloading the 23rd January nightly. I'll get back to you when I test it out. :) Looks like a substantial update.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] lhikan:
Just wondering if the majority of people are having issues with Bluetooth. I've done a clean install of the recent nightlies and still the same issues. I haven't seen people posting about it so just checking.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ursophone:
I used to see various BT issues. Now I have only one. When playing audio, it often replays too fast, slightly pitched up. Disabling BT and then reenabling it solves it until next new BT connect.

Edit: the above was true yesterday. On 25th BT doesn't work at all.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Mattadome02:
Is it okay for me to install twrp or should I keep cm recovery? Cm recovery doesn't have the backup and restore stuff and I am looking to install some volume mods. Any opinions?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Apoena:
Has the reboot problem been fixed?

My phone still doesn't reboot - just powers off. It's annoying when flashing the nightlies from the CM auto update option.

I have been doing the nightly updates for a few weeks now without a clean install... maybe I missed something.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Klaus N.:
I also have the scrolling lag with the nightly from today. Therefore I went back to yesterday's one, and the lag is gone.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] dancress:
Yes still having it. Given years of experience with CM that's one bug that'll survive until the stable versions :(
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] lhikan:
I've been checking other roms' threads and no one seems to be bringing it up. I might try one of them out
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] micr0g:
Sorry man but i tried the 24th build,the lag is still there when you scroll up and down slowly without remove your finger from the display!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] thienbrand:
I flashed FXP rom yesterday I found out there is no scrolling lag in their rom. So i guess this is a CM bug for real.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Mattadome02:
SO, just gonna ask, can I flash FOTA TWRP through fast boot by fastboot flash recovery fota.img??

[MENTION=4752144]squabbi[/MENTION] opinions?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Termynat0r:
I just wanted to push that.

Also here's a list of what I experienced so far:

-notification LED is to dark

-charging is to slow

-camera is slightly distorted

-new camera apis are not yet implemented

-battery needs improvement

-adaptive backlight sometimes dimms display completely dark

-camera button doesn't open camera

-notification LED does't flash in silent mode

-swiping on keyboard does not work

-user picture can't be set unless you manually set one in the contacts

Bluetooth audio seems to be working for me since ~a week. I didn't check loudspeaker in call.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] santoshcoolhere:
Totally agree with you. It' s just that Sony did a dumb thing with those DRM keys so Devs had to wait till a root without unlock has been found which delayed new ROMs from landing on the Z3. Now Sony released all the sources and yet it's difficult to get the ROMs work. :(

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

And what do you think we do? We test every one of their work and provide them valuable feedback. And Devs don't do all this to make money. They do it because they love the work they do. Asking for a stable release is not a crime because I personally tested 8 builds till now on my Z3 and I want to know when a stable release can appear with critical functions fixed so that I can resume using it as my daily driver.

And yeah, I did donate to Devs..not the Z3 department but for the original Z.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] RealitySwitch:
OK so I was having a bad day when I wrote that and took your post in a pretty negative light. Sorry if I came across a bit strong. Nonetheless, I'm sure the devs will announce when they feel the build is stable enough to change from being a nightly. Asking/nagging in the meantime isn't really going to do anything and I get the impression is discouraged.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] squabbi:
Yeah that's fine! I did that as well!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] micr0g:
We don't see any improvements because we take the typical cm updates and not the fixes for our device.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+z3,n,z

Maybe because the FXP mainteiners are busy with theirs aosp sources!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Mattadome02:
So flashing through fast boot is A Okay right? Or should I just flash through the terminal in the phone?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Untouchab1e:
keyboard swiping works fine here. Charging seems to be fine here as well though I did experience the slow-charge once.

Ive been looking at what's causing the 3-4 second delay freeze when making and taking phone calls. Dmesg and the logs give some interesting clues, but havent been able to nail it down yet.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Termynat0r:
Ok, maybe I will just perform a wipe and clean install later and then report back
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] squabbi:
Its a fastboot command, so indeed you'll need to flash through cmd.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Mattadome02:
So, I should use

./ fastboot flash recovery FOTA.img in the Mac Terminal

or use dd if=/sdcard/z3fotatwrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel??

If I flash this recovery, will there be any conflicts and will I still be able to OTA update my Z3? I have had hard bricks before and I don't want it to happen with this. Thanks. Sorry for all my questions!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ghbdfn:
Please tell me, someone uses fm radio? If yes, what program works on CM12?

anyone tried roaming? am oversea and having problem to connect to local network. sad
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] squabbi:
Oh sorry! You haven't unlocked the bootloader? Or are you talking about CM12 OTAs?

You would use this command if you were on your device or via adb shell:

dd if=/sdcard/z3fotatwrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

Otherwise I'd prefer this one via Mac's terminal with your phone in the bootloader,

./ fastboot flash recovery FOTA.img in the Mac Terminal

It is a tutorial on how to root on locked bl.

To back up your drm keys, find TA backup tool under Sony Cross-Device General.

To unlock bootloader, just use the Flashtool.

Don't forget to back up the DRM keys before unlocking bootloader.

RIL files

Guys, does anybody know which files are required from the stock ROM, in order to get GSM working on D6633? (assuming it's not a kernel thing)

I tried transplanting everything with a "ril" in the name (/system/bin/rild, 3x .so's in /system/lib/ and 1x .so in /system/vendor/lib) , set the permissions correctly (755/644), rebooted - but no joy.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Omario-242:
Did anybody got Xposed working while network/ril is working as well?

After setting SELinux Mode to 'permissive' the framework is activated,

but I cant get any connection to a network whatsoever (wifi is working though).
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alex3oe:
a small init scritp as described here works fine for me, it sets SELinux to permissive during every boot:

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/how-to-set-selinux-to-permissive-boot-t3034245/page2
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Omario-242:
Thanks for your answer, but the problem isn't the SELinux mode, as it already is set to permissive. The problem is, that every time Xposed is working, network fails.

I already searched and it seems to be a CM12 related bug.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] dkotoric:
so guys i just flashed this on my z3 D6603 but when i was flashing it it said i own model D6653 which is not compatible so i had to edit th cm.zip per thread bellow to make this work, is there another way to just fix and have my phone recognized correctly in recovery as D6603?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522762

Sent from my Xperia Z3
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alex3oe:
The promblem is the soft reboot, cause after soft reboot, cell fails. But during hard reboot, you are loosing permissive mode and so on Xposed fails to work correctly. If you set SELinux to permissive during hard reboot with that init script, you can do a hard reboot which will get you a working Xposed and a working cell afterwards :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Omario-242:
Ok then I'll try that, but I thought I already had permissive as it shows permissive in my settings. Does that mean that it gets overwritten while hard rebooting?

Another question: I use Google Now Launcher and if I go into its settings under "Now (Cards)" it shows a network error, so I can't enable the imo useful cards. Anybody with same error?

EDIT: I set up an init.d script with "setenforce 0" as well as using your commands and it works now so thank you! :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Alex3oe:
Yes, you will loose permissive during hard, but not during soft reboot.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] dkotoric:
Anyone?

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] freddy1991:
Although this had been answered many times in this thread, I might answer it once again.

As far as I know, there are 2 options available.

One - edit the updater script (Method can be found on page 2 or 3)

Two - extract the boot.img from CM12 zip, flash it via fastboot and flash the whole CM12 zip from the CM recovery.

No initial setup? Google Now inoperable

This is only the 4th device I've flashed Cyanogen on so maybe I'm overly concerned about this, but I didn't seen an initial setup screen after flashing and rebooting. Wiping too factory defaults gave me the ability to pick a default language, connect to WiFi, and enable secure SMS, but that was it. I'm not sure if this is related or but Google Now doesn't seem to be allowed access to my account once I've added it. Attempts to view reminders states I need to enable web & app activity and creating a reminder informs me "that's not available on this device."

Otherwise in the 5 hours I've messed with it, I've experienced no issues. All sensors appear to be working normally, and I'm actually seeing improvements in cell reception over the stock ROM - LTE is suddenly available while in my house .

Information about my device and installation (in the event I did something wrong):

Xperia Z3 D6603

> adb reboot-bootloader

> fastboot flash boot boot.img (extracted from zip downloaded at Cyanogenmod.org)

> fastboot reboot

Once in the recovery (the backlight works now, awesome!) I find that the SD card cannot be mounted. Performed update/installs via ADB sideload in recovery.

> adb sideload cm-12-20150301-NIGHTLY-z3.zip

> adb sideload pa_gapps-stock-5.0.1-20150301-signed.zip

> adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Reboot to system, goes straight to home screen with tutorial.

Device bricked

AS I FLASHED THE ROM MY DEVICE BRICKED

MY DEVICE IS NOT STARTING PLEASE HELP I ALSO TRIED UP AND DOWN KEYS

BUT NO LUCK. I CHARED IT FOR 3+ HOURS BUT NO SUCESS. AFTER I TRIED FLASH TOOL NO LUCK:crying:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Try to hold up key while plugging usb, if u see a blue led, u have fastboot, flash any kernel or stock kernel back and work your way back, if it fails hold the vol down and power while plugging into usb, if you get it picking up on pc you can use flashtool, if this both fails i suspect you may have hard bricked, in which case i dont think anyone can do anything. Ensure you have correct adb drivers installed first though or you wont get far. If this info didnt help, sorry and good luck, when i bricked my Z i took it to the manufacturer and when they saw fastboot not working they rma'd mine. U can always try that.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CJ900RR:
Calm down [emoji6]

Ok I bricked mine as well. Do you have a black screen and a blinking red light? In that case, do as I did.

Start flash tool as you would do when flashing your device. Don't connect your phone yet. When flashtool is ready and want you to connect the phone, don't do it the normal way. Do like this: hold the power button until you feel the phone vibrate, wait for a couple of seconds then press volume up and power for reboot and connect your phone to your pc. Wait, don't do anything else. If your lucky flashtool will start.

I found out that when my phone was bricked it entered flashmode automatically. I had it plugged in and could see in flashtool status window that it entered flashmode once every minute. Retry a couple of times and try rebooting it with the cable plugged if the first doesn't work. And make sure flashtool is prepared for flashing.

No one will answer coz no one works with the dual sim version , if you try installing it, the device will start up- but a major problem is getting the phone to detect sim card... neither of the 2 sims are detected even if u only use 1 and try it out in tray 1 or 2...

basically no use running CM untill that problem gets resolved.

During a previous install I had no issues with LTE - booted up and it connected right away. Right now I'm having a hell of a time getting it to connect to T-Mobile's network. Any ideas?

I've tried reflashing using Monx's TWRP but have run into an issue where it's declaring my phone as a D6653 despite it being a D6603. Didn't have this issue before - not sure why suddenly this occurs. I've forgone using the SD card as it won't allow me to flash from that either (Cannot mount /misc). I can install via ADB sideload in recovery or by putting the image for CM12 on internal storage and performing the flash from there. Both methods are giving me the same results though.
