Yes, the "recovery" partition is the FOTA partition, but there is no clear way to use (trigger the bootloader to boot from there) that recovery. Maybe only through "adb reboot recovery" while using XZDR is much more straigtforward.

That is until Sony releases the the special bootloader for the unlocked Z3 that is.

Until then, I suggest sticking to XZDR is our best solution.

After reading the above link, I think things should be more clear. You have to upload your boot.img to kernel builder, and it will strip the CM recovery and replace it with a usable one. Flash the new image that it will give you then and you will have a functional recovery, at last.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] yuzhengwen:
OK I understand what u mean, one question:

when at download page for XZDR, says I need to repack my kernel with Kernel Builder and flash it (I understand)

(See attachments for screenshot)

But where do I get my kernel?

Sorry if this is stupid, I am still very new to this kernel, recovery image etc.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] sgiannouris:
Understandably - no one is required to know everything...

Note that I haven't used the kernel builder because at the moment I am content with a heavily debloated stock rom, so I use the locked bootloader flavor of XZDR.

if you unzip the CM flashable image, you should find a file named boot.img. This is your kernel image. I suggest you searched the XZDR thread, at some point [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] explains how the kernel builder works, and you should be aware of that, if only to understand a bit better what you're doing there.

-S.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] yuzhengwen:
Its just me but I love knowing what exactly Im doing. Will do more research on this.

Anyway thanks for instructions and quick reply :)

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

I flashed the kernel builder zip then flashed the XZDR zip and my phone is in a boot loop...

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

Should I be bothered that the XZDR zip file name says 'locked', my bootloader is unlocked?

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] austerus:
Gotta ask: what happened to luminosity slider in BlissPop 3.2 ? In 3.1 I could keep luminosity at 5% and it was perfectly legible. Now if I take it at 30% the screen goes black. At 50% the screen starts to lose legibility so that basically I can't keep it at less that 60% most of the time, which raises battery consumption significantly and killing the advantage of throttling luminosity.

Wiped data, installed the zip and GApps through TWRP. When I pressed "reboot" the phone died. When I connected to the PC it starts blinking red... I had 55% battery when I flashed the phone.

Anyone familiar with this?

Edit:

After countless hours of swearing, charging, pondering and googling, I managed to revive the phone from the dead through Flashtool and a stock-file I had lying around.

Thank God.

I will give this Rom another shot later today as soon as I get TWRP working.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] maaljen:
Still having the same problem as earlier. After a clean factory-install (this time Android 4.4.4), flashing the Bliss-ROM makes my D6603 go black, and I have to re-flash it back to 4.4.4 through Flashtool again.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] yuzhengwen:
Maybe cuz Sony doesn't have a recovery partition and after flashing you get an unusable recovery. Happened to me. If so, try TWRP FOTA. It is explained in the thread.I'm using it. After flashing Rom, twrp stays add yOur recovery
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] maaljen:
Would that be this file: http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719 ?

This is the third time I'm trying to flash my Z3.. Even nightflies CM 12 won't install.

My current phone "stats":

D6603

Android Version: 4.4.4

Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-g0961cdf

Build number: 23.0.A.2.93

Rooted with "giefroot v3.1" and Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.12

As soon as I press reboot after flashing BlissPop-v3.2-z3-OFFICIAL-20150427-0047.zip (TWRP), my phone won't start.

The only way to get it back running is using D6603_23.0.A.2.93_Generic_20GLOBAL.ftf and Flashtool, and I have to do the giefroot and dualrecovery-process all over again.

This is really driving me nuts!

Edit: Are there any software requirements, like a certain Android version etc? Except root and recovery of course.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] yuzhengwen:
I didn't use that specific one but it should work. You should understand what you are doing though
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] jaycunning:
If the ROM isn't booting while others' are, first thing I would try is flashing another non stock kernel, especially coming from a stock rom. Whether from the forum or another rom, just make sure it is for the correct android version. This always helped back on the xperia S. With the z3 I had no problems with all of the z3 ROMs here. That said, I updated over the air to latest[lollipop] firmware(I don't know these stock firmware version numbers), before unlocking bootloader, root, flash etc. And finally, yes, this FOTA recovery is a beast, install it once pretty easy, and it's there always when you need it. I used this one http://xdaforums.com/z3/development/recovery-z3-twrp-2-8-5-0-t3041667

Some ROMs have troubles with some recovery versions, but that usually came on on the flashing step for me. So maybe one, or a combination of these steps will fix your stuffs. That is if you didn't forget to unlock bootloader;) It should work, so happy fiddling, all been there.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] maaljen:
Finally got it working.. I believe it was the fota that made it work. However, the home-button does not work; the phone vibrates, but nothing happens. The other two buttons work perfectly tho.

Been looking at the Button/NavBar options, but nothing solves it.

Edit:

Another thing is that, I can't see recent things my phone is up to, for example when a app is installed. No notifications at all.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] xircx:
When you reboot and hold the power + vol up and nothing happens you may be missing your recovery. fix could be to use sony flashtools and flash the original OTA then re-root and install team WIN recovery.

To get into Flashboot plug in your USB cable then while powering on hold power + Vol down. a message will show on the screen and your pc should see the device.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeweew:
Anyone having the same issue and have found a solution?

Phone suddenly stuck at some instances even with non-extensive usage.

Yesterday I was only using Facebook app. When messenger bubble pop up, my phone suddenly spiked. Moved once and then it got stuck already. You'll notice that it's not Facebook app only that's not functioning since nav. buttons are also stuck. You can't go press home and clear recent apps/hibernate apps. Power and volume buttons are also not functional.

So I assume the main system crashed. I only did a long press on power button to restart.

I installed Franco kernel r73, and thought that issue would only occur with stock kernel.

However, it occurred again today, I was viewing photos in Stock Photos app. I haven't started viewing the first 10 images yet, so memory should not be consuming that much. I turned on the auto rotate to view the image larger. When I turned the phone landscape, it reacted like it's about to rotate. And suddenly it got stuck. This time, power button is functional. It turns the screen on and off but it still turns to the same stuck screen, not the lock screen.

I've been experiencing this since 5.0.1. and almost everyday since I updated to 5.1.

I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue on my unit since mine is already about 1 year and a half old. I don't want to buy another phone yet!

Or is this a common issue nowadays due to Lollipop upgrade. If so, then could you provide temporary fix before they update this on 5.1.1.

Thanks a lot!

I live in Croatia. How can I most safely tell if my EVO 3D is CDMA or GSM? I'm asking this because I plan to put custom ROM on it so I must be sure.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC EVO 3D] Smiecho:
We have the GSM version in Europe, while the CDMA was prepared to US market. So most likely you have the GSM. But if you want to check it by yourself here is the trick.

There is a difference in trim colour around the cameras. GSM has gold trim, CDMA has red trim.

Oh! And the pins (for wire trick) are in different places:

- GSM: http://i3.bbs.fd.zol-img.com.cn/t_s...1C1ObyIeZA4AAEOD9nVh90AACmQwL5ZQkAAQ4n233.jpg

- CDMA: http://www.pocketables.com/images/old/6a00d83451c9ec69e2016305b34134970d-pi.png

Look for those tiny holes and if you find them you'll be sure.

[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
DPI (dots per inch) is the LCD density NOT the resolution. I just installed the app on my phone and it doesn't affect the build.prop when changing LCD density. So probably all you need to do is uninstall / delete the app. Do you have a custom recovery installed?
[General Questions and Answers] ax3n5a:
you can try to reset your mobile using stock recovery

in that way the app will be deleted from your phone

i dont know for sure if that will work or not

the file build.prop contains the settings for DPI of the phone

Is your mobile rooted ?
