After fixing some bugs everything worked perfectly without wiping data. Only cache and dalvik. Is there any dual recovery for 5.0.2? Looks like nothing is installed. And in apps the statusbar is blue and text highlighting is orange. Is that normal?

Works 100% on the D6653 just wipe and flash.You may have to configure data apn settings maually though if you want 3g/4g.Nope that can be done during the setup.Just hit yes on "download settings for internet.....".Hit setup in the settings if your phone is already setup to find the option or do a factory reset(sorry).
[Xperia Z3 General] Griffiths_Anna:
is this going to work for unlocked bootloader?

so I have a twrp custom recovery version 2.8.5

when I flashed the .zip file it says update finished and the flashing process took a really short time , it was like 5-6 seconds.. after that I pressed the reboot button and the recovery said "there is no os installed"

I was using the stock 4.4.4 firmware with androplus kernel.

Do I need to change the recovery ?

Statusbar and highlighting here too. Anywhere else?
[Xperia Z3 General] DeimosJ:
I think the global transparency of status bar was gone. I got a transparent status bar when I used Xperia Home Launcher but colored status bar when I used Total Launcher. If you choose Google Now Launcher, you may get the transparent status bar, too.

Does anyone experience slow charge issues? I have been Googling for this issue and it seems to be present for most N5 Lollipop users. But do any of you guys have it?

In fact I can't keep the phone switched on while USB charging since it discharges faster! My phone warned me to plug into an AC outlet. But back in Kitkat USB charging was fast enough. USB 2.0 btw.

anyone who is having issues with the internal storage.

use this in adb

adb shell

or for terminal emulator just

su

this will fix the errors

cannot mount storage when opening albums

taking photo cannot be stored

[Xperia Z3 General] thedisturbedone:
I upgraded my Xperia T to LP and has the same issue. I ignored it thinking its simply because the phone is old. But not this! This is brand new 4 days old. You can post links with spaces or something so that someone can delete the spaces and use it.
[Xperia Z3 General] Maksvr:
I had a Galaxy S2 i9100 before this one, with most custom kernels you could set the charging current higher than the usb spec (450 mA I believe), 650 mA doesnt damage most USB ports (its a small risk you take though), so I think with this phone it should also be a setting somewhere deeply buried in the kernel.

Installed on D6653, Bluetooth discovers and is discovered by z2 tablet running 4.4, but can't see my Moto 360 or vice-versa.

It happens with all other D6653 .726 ROMs I've tried but works with D6603 .690 Baltic.

Well, I'm rooted finally, with TWRP recovery now. I downloaded the Lollipop install zip for the D6603, booted into recovery, wiped data/cache/dalvik cache, all completed successfully. I install the lollipop zip file, recovery shows it completed successfully, but a reboot of the system shows I am still on the old 23.0.A.2.93 kitkat! I can still get into recovery just fine, root appears to function normally, the only issue is my recovery pretends to flash lollipop but a reboot slaps me in the face with kitkat. :eek:

I'm sick to my stomach over trying to figure this out, wading through the guides, thread specific searches, google searches, etc. :crying:

I feel like I'm losing my mind here....anyone have an idea what I did wrong?

Recovery used: Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.12

I got recovery flashing rom normally..but sometimes lollipop roms still fail something flashing them
[Xperia Z3 General] Element515:
I'm having this exact issue and have tried redownloading the file 3 times now. Every single one is not flashing. Can someone get me another link or something to this lollipop ROM? This is getting annoying. I just want my lollipop back!

I found another guide and used their mega link. It all worked! There may be an issue with this link for the US lollipop.
[Xperia Z3 General] NoXion1:
Yeah I couldn't agree with you more there. The way I was able to flash successfully is by getting a completely different Lollipop zip file from another guide and flashing it. Once I did that, everything worked flawlessly.

[MENTION=2731409]G-FACE[/MENTION] The US zip file seems to be corrupted on server side.

Anyone else trying to flash the US ver. in OP try looking for a different zip to download, at least until a new one is upped.

portuguese version

I friends, I want to make a version of Portugal (customized PT) wich recovery should I put on the firmware? I see that other users went for 2.8.8 or 2.8.3 what should I use?

2.8.12 will work ?

[Xperia Z3 General] infinitylook:
Hi how can I apply byeselinux? Thru flashing zip right? Here's what I want to do, I am on Lollipop now, can I flash 2.8.3 recovery then flash the byeselinux fix immediately?
[Xperia Z3 General] mrled:
Its no necessary byeselinux patch. install DualRecovery v.2.8.12 with the installer. Dual recovery have the patch included.

I have no test the latest recovery, because I back to KK because problem with xposed on LP.
[Xperia Z3 General] Element515:
This is what I did as well. Just download the 2.8.12 installer from the devs website and use the install script to get you recovery. Very simple and takes just a minute to do.
[Xperia Z3 General] infinitylook:
Is it okay if I can flash it immediately via recovery or is it necessary to use the installer
[Xperia Z3 General] Element515:
Well, I used the installer because I just flashed lollipop and recovery has had problems if I'm correct. I didn't want issues with a bootloop or something, so I just played it safe.

Thanks in advance!

CSC will be the same? I will see all network frequency, like my phone do now?
[Xperia Z3 General] MSTRoyal:
The differences are in the versions e.g. *.690 or *.726, the region they're made for wich defines the used modem and the version of recovery used in the builds. Csc applys only for Samsung devices as far as i know
[Xperia Z3 General] scribbclubber:
good to know, but how to really test fi the .690 of .726 suits best for me where i'm located, asking that cause i noticed that i got better signal quality while i was using .690 on my D6653.

after flashing .726, notice that i often lost signal for few seconds almost everyday.

any info or help about ?
[Xperia Z3 General] MSTRoyal:
Got no problems with that, only thing i noticed is that sometimes when i wake up my device there's no signal shown. But i guess that is because sonys battery management

Also sometimes when connection type (2g/3g) changes there is no signal at all for a few seconds

I am gonna try to flash this on my 6643. Currently, I have 23.0.1.A.5.77 + DRM patch for KK working fine.

I have TWRP installed

Since there is no recovery yet available for flashing the DRM patch after flashing and booting the rom, my plan is to flash the rom, and immediately after, flash the DRM patch for LP.

Do you think that by doing this way, it may "damage" the rom in any way?
