Am I the only one or is the latest D5833 zip not working for anyone? As in it gives an error when I try to flash it. Also unable to open the zip on my PC. So is it a problem in the zip or is my download faulty?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
It sounds like it didn't download properly, as you should be able to open the zip on a computer, try downloading it again if you can
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] dane_xperia:
So far I haven't experienced any bootloops and xposed is working fine however, Greenify seems to be not working well. It's actually hibernating, but it wouldn't auto-hibernate the apps no matter how long my screen was on sleep. Auto-hibernation is ON and I've already gave it permission from the Device Administrators. Why is this?

I've flashed the .28(SG) with xposed. (though I have to download xposed from another thread).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] helmarfernandes:
Root the stock ROM?

Hi everybody. I'm a human resources man so please be patience with me :o

I've just updated my D5833 to 23.1.A.1.28

I just want to root it to remove the bloatware. Don't mind keeping the stock rom. Can I root w/o flashing a new ROM or I need to flash a fresh 5.02 ROM to root it and remove those BW?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] helmarfernandes:
Have to downgrade before?

OK... I've just updated by OTA to 23.1.A.1.28 and I'd like to root it.

The only way to root lollipop is downgrading to KitKat ? I just want to remove the bloatware and install Xposed
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] abj2aqua:
Hey man. Yeah the only way to root the phone is to downgrade to Kitkat. That too to the 2.93 version, attain root on that, and then flash a pre rooted ROM. You can check out the Giefroot thread to see how to root the phone. It also used to have some downgrade guides in some of the later posts. Sorry but no work around for that. All the best on your rooting journey :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] helmarfernandes:
Thanks or your help abj2aqua but I still can't understand.

When he says

"UPDATE: If you wish to update to the new firmware just download the ZIP and flash over your old ROM, no need to wipe anything"

doesn't he means that I can flash the new ROM over my current 5.02 ROM without downgrading?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] helmarfernandes:
Just to let you know that I managed to root my D5833 with 5.0.2 stock Rom WITHOUT having to downgrade to KitKat.

Followed this thread: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/general/root-t3108230/page7#post60857939

Worked like a charm :o
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
Yes, if you have rooted lollipop you can flash any of the new zips without wiping anything.

Never flash old firmwares though, as you will need to wipe data.

Update to lollipop doesn't work

Hi all,

Thanks for this guide, however i am having an issue. I have urrently the .93 firmware installed on my Xperia z3 compact with root access and cwm recovery. When trying to update according to this guide my phone still shows that it is on Kitkat(4.4.4).

I try to flash the firmware .128 from CWM recovery according to all the steps mentioned in this tread. Can anyone help me out?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] francis997:
Finally tried to flash it with philz recovery and this did work. So please ignore my previous post..
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
Hi,

This has only been tested with TWRP and Philz, CWM can be a bit buggy.

Cool that you got it working :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kwchan98:
Hello, I have bought my z3 compact last year, and use this method (http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343) to root my phone , and it's still 4.4.4 (23.0.1.A.5.77), and I would like to upgrade to lollipop now.

My question is

1. Am I just copy your rom to sdcard/internal memory and flash it by my TWRP and I will get a rooted lollipop rom?

2. And then just restore my app by using titanium backup?

3. Am I need to download ftf file (23.1.A.1.28) and flash the rom by flashtool? (In fact, I am not sure when I need to do this.)

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] francis997:
So now it is confirmed it doesn't work with CWM :o

If you already have root then you need to download a pre-rooted rom(don't remember the link right now) but it is a .zip file. You copy the zip file to your sd card(phone). And then install it with Philzz or TWRP. With install zip from sdcard option.

And then you need to install it with TWRP or Phillz.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
1. Yep, just copy one of these zips to your SDcard and flash in recovery

2. Yep restore with titanium backup or restore data from a nandroid backup

3. the only reason you would want to flash 23.1.A.1.28 is if you are using an unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kwchan98:
Thanks, let me try it first. :D

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

Thanks, let me try it first. :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kwchan98:
I have flash the rom successfully. But I have got a big problem now, after upgraded, I want to wipe my internal storage, then I go to TWRP to wipe it, but I got an error message (something like /sdcard/... error 505), then I reboot the system, it bootloop, how can I do now? I cannot enter to recovery now. HELP.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
It seems as though while wiping the internal memory you might have wiped a part of the system (this would be a bug in the recovery) or the phone can't mount the internal sdcard

If it is on the "Sony Screen" go HERE

If it is showing the sony wave then restarting this is most likely a broken xposed app

Only fix if you can't enter recovery is to flash back to stock and start again... sorry about this.

Just to let you know this is not a bug with the pre-rooted firmware as far as I am aware, it is most likely a bug with XZDR which you can update manually if you are worried about this.

If you need more help just ask :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kwchan98:
Thanks. Is there any safety method to wipe the internal memory?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
Safest way is usually through TWRP, Try wipe data from advanced wipe in TWRP (wipe->advanced wipe)

If it crashes again it could be an xposed app (if you have any installed)

EDIT:

Okay, so by you wiping internal memory you wiped everything on the internal SDcard except the system partition, without the internal data the system could not boot

If you want to wipe all apps and stuff wipe data (this will wipe the internal data partition) leaving the rest intact
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kwchan98:
Thanks all of you. Finally I redo all the process and get in lollipop now, big thanks.

One more question, I have downloaded the version D5833 23.2.A.1.62, and it is not included the xposed, can I install it myself now?

I know there are some bootloop issue, is that fixed it now?

If I really have bootloop issue, can I flash the file called "xposed-disabler-recovery.zip" to disable the xposed? Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
Yep go to HERE (The official Xposed lollipop post) the memory leaks (which caused the bootloops) are fixed :D <- In the xposed forum download the SDK zip and the Xposed installer and flash the zip in recovery and install the app as a normal app

And yes the disable zip will uninstall xposed so that the modules can not run and can not cause issues
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kwchan98:
Thank you, I have installed all the things I need finally.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nhojeric214:
im from serajr's debloated .62 fw. can i flash this over .62 and do i need to wipe data,cache,dalvik?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
Yep you can just flash over, to be safe you could wipe cache/delvik
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nhojeric214:
but wiping data necessary?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fusk:
"XPOSED is not installed with the latest 5.1 zips[...]" Does this mean we only have to install the app, or also the thingie you have to flash ?

Or can you create one with "xposed framework v67 per LolliPop 5.1.1" in it, without the app, then it's up to people if they want to install it or not.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
as long as you are upgrading to a newer firmware, you do not need to wipe data
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
Since there is no xposed available for lollipop 5.1, no xposed in bundled with the zip.

When xposed becomes available for 5.1/5.1.1 i will bundle them
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fusk:
When you flash, do you need to remove previously installed xposed framework, modules or anything if you're flashing the xposed framework for 5.1 ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] moviti:
I'm now on your .28 (No Baseband ver),

and do you have a plan making 5.1.1 zip without Baseband?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
No, when you flash the newer one it will remove / reinstall the older one

Yes, the D5833 5.1 zip is without baseband

and the D5803 5.1 zip will be without baseband

(If you are flashing the zip for your phone model, the baseband won't affect anything)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] moviti:
--

Sounds great, Thanks！
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fusk:
Yeah i figured it out. First flashed the xposed uninstaller, you know, just to be sure. Then flashed rom, and reflashed the new xposed framework. All works fine.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fgaine:
Hi. Can you confirm it is a rooted but otherwise untouched stock 5.1.1 ROM (not debloated or anything)?

Hi guys i have question i have 5.1.1 with root but i dont have recovery ( i dont know what happened) if i install xzdual recovery again via pc

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
Yeah, well you should just be able to install it again using the .bat file, I have seen this happen, but only with unlocked bootloaders and official TWRP.

Sorry to say but if you can't get recovery you might have to reset your phone
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] neol23:
Don't find a link for MM yet. Not yet pre-rooted?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
Sadly XZDR is not yet functional with MM, I will upload the pre rooted as soon as XZDR (recoveries) gets updated
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fijasko:
why wait for XZDR? TWRP 3.0.2 works just fine.

include RIC Defeat, SuperSU 2.71 and ByeSELinux for MM, and you're good to go
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
So far the only way to get recovery is from a computer running Z3C - MM TWRP Recovery for Locked BL - V2

However I will upload a ZIp containing a pre rooted firmware, with Xposed, ByeSELinux and RIC Defeat - with a link to get recoveries working
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fijasko:
How do you explain this and this then? :)

They are for Z3, but it's the same principle.

It's possible.

Both can be flashed from dual recovery on LP.

I understand if you want to wait, though.

Thanks for your hard work anyhow.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Bartekreaper:

Possible TWRP Fix

DXue,

I had the same thing upgrading today. From a lot of trawling I can only guess it maybe something to do with the Busybox implementation I had installed at the time.

I resolved it by using the install from the zip at this link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66232237&postcount=364

Obviously just need to renable USB debugging post the upgrade, then run the install.bat with the phone plugged into comp.

Also please make a backup before this as sometimes -VERY UNLIKELY- errors occur when wiping then flashing.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:

TWRP issues are commonly due to previous TWRP versions, and their busybox versions..

Sadly you can not have a pre rooted ftf file at this time, if any any point I can make one. I will :)

Thought it would be the case, TWRP has a fit when you try to reinstall a newer version from recovery, Didn't realise some people would have TWRP and not XZDR.

Hi all. Had a remarkably frustrating session yesterday. :( Yup, maybe its just me being stupid...lets not go there. :)

Saw post 104 of this thread. Installed the same way and it worked! Or so i thought. Managed to boot to recovery a couple of times but then after updates lost access. :( And, not having put xposed on was stuck with non-writable SD card.

May have been that i flashed RIC Defeat and the byeselinix thing as well as a new bootanimation??

Anyway, am back to 5.1.1 although even that is a pain as to restore the nandroid i have been doing the full process of downgrading, getting root, install dual recovery, flash 5.1.1 zip, then flashtool 5.1.1 without system, then restore nandroid.

And all on a Win10 box where it crashes every 3-5th time i plug or unplug the USB. :( dealing with that today. GRRR.

Anyhow, anyone had the same? Am thinking to stay with 5.1.1 for a while and see how others go? Andy advice or comment appreciated.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
Hey!

First off i know how you feel, i had to restore back, get root and recovery flash a backup, many times to get this to work haha.

Secondly, Flashing RICDefeat and ByeSELinux most likely would have conflicted with the Recovery installation from this pre rooted zip, try reinstall but do not flash these.

The bootanimation you flash should not have caused any errors however.

Let me know how you go when you try again :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] astmacca:
Thanks for that. I'll have another go once i have my Win7 box set up with drivers and suchlike. The USB thing i have been going through is painful. From other reading in forums it seemed that RIC and ByeSelinux were important.........but i'll take your advice about your flashable. :)

Its what i get for staying up too late playing with this stuff i guess. :)

will report back on how i go and sequence i use FYI.

Thanks!

Ok, finally got this to work. Am not exactly covered in glory but...........

Downgraded firmware, got root and dual recovery as per this guide.

http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343

This got me to working rooted 5.1.1 with Dual Recovery. No probs.

What i did differently this time was follow ALL the instructions. :( Going to 5.1.1 i had no problems if i skipped this part:

This time i did NOT skip it. Then i flashed the D5833 zip from the op. Then plugged in usb lead and installed this:

Z3C_MM_TWRP_Recovery_V2_By_Serajr.zip

from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66232237&postcount=364

What i had not twigged to was that previously when i had got into recovery after flashing the zip from the op, i was seeing the version of TWRP from dual recovery. doH!

Now i see TWRP 3.0.2.0, which i should have been seeing all along after installing the Serajr zip. Slapping self!!!

Have rebooted several times now and still have recovery so am happy chappie! :)

One other thing i DIDNT do this time is run SDFix as linked in the OP. From post #112 this thread:

Same Same Me.

Installed Xposed and used HandleExternalStorage module.

Still cant get titanium backup pro to write to the SD card............but i will bend it to my will...........eventually.

Anyhow hope the above is some use to someone. Moral of the story is i think, follow the instructions..all of them...all the time.
