Hi,

so you're using Carbon and your device is up and running? If yes, does your PC really detect nothing? Is the device charging? Do you see the MTP drive?

If really nothing is detected, possible explanations are a damaged USB cable or USB port (device or PC). If you see an MPT drive, maybe just USB debugging isn't turned on.

You need flashtool to get back to stock and you also have to restore your drm keys (which should also relock your bootloader), because otherwise you can not take advantage of the warranty.

Thank u so much for your response. I guess its phone usb problem (what means im so f*****) because i have already tried 2 computers and cables...

I thought it could be a driver problem because the phone gets charged when connected.

I guess i will have to cry some time and after that try to repair myself the phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] c19932:
Thanks for your work. Im going to give AOSP a try on my z3c for the first time.

Quick question: if im on this rom, is there even reason for me to restore DRM key? Since this rom will not have any xperia functions anyways
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
no, there is not. However, that does not mean you should not backup your DRM keys, they might come in handy at some later time (warranty, or if you want to use stock rom)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] RNZL3R:
I have been using this ROM for the past week, and for a while things have been fine. Especially WiFi. However, I got home last night, turned on WiFi and tried to connect it to my network and it wouldn't connect. I troubleshot the router and the issues is definitely the phone. When I select my (saved) access point and force it to connect, nothing happens. It says "connecting...." And then nothing.

I'm going to flash the ROM again and see what's up.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kingsfall1233:
hi im sorry for posting here. delete if non-relevant. but i got the error of "e:error executing updater binary in zip" when i try to flash this rom from twrp. I've wiped Dalvik cache, cache, system and data already but still having problems. any idea why?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] marshalpear:
Start from scratch. Root your phone, install recovery, do a factory reset and then flash the file. Also make sure that you downloaded the ROM correctly!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kingsfall1233:
i downgrade my fw using flashtool before rooting using gieroot. then i use xyzdualbootloader to get my twrp recovery mode. in recovery i wipe dalvik cache,cache,data and system before flashing the custom rom. ive also downloaded carbonrom twice and other roms. the only rom that worked was the slimrom
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
there you have the cause. XZDR labels the phone "wrong". Install androplus kernels boot.img via fastboot, and use the twrp in there. That should work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kingsfall1233:
i tried. flash a 4.4.4 fw compatable for androplus and i still couldn't get it to work. received the same error
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Zwulf:
[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] Any chance for a last Lollipop build with latest CM commits before MM? That would be nice.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] marshalpear:
You don't need xzdr dual recovery actually. I always flash twrp.img through adb after rooting the 4.4.4 like you do. It always does the job. When it comes to wiping, don't just go to the advanced wipe and choose the options from there, in twrp go to wipe, then just wipe it. ;)

Quick settings

Works excellent, except one thing, in Quick settings, tappinf Wi-Fi icon should just turn on or off Wi-Fi, not open saved networks. Is it possible to fix that?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] c19932:
I 2nd this. WOuld be really nice if we could get a final build with the fixes

Where can i find the latest KitKat release?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] rvnlvrz:
This rom is Superb!! :good: :good: :good:

The only problem with non Sony roms as of now is the camera software. I Tried porting stock camera for this rom but no luck at all. :crying:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
There never was a KitKat Release for aries.

I got good news for you then, newest Marshmallow Cam blobs have a pretty awesome Camera Experience. If someone wants I can release a Carbon Marshmallow test build (note: it has no features at all yet, as we were focusing on getting CAF support commits merged as Lux (the Codename for Carbon M) will be based off AOSP)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] rvnlvrz:
Makes sense, Sony released an experimental aosp camera right? I'll try things on my side, although my time is limited due to studies.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Burakki:
I would keep to really try this beta build ! I'm curious
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
http://testing.myself5.de/z3c/CarbonROM/CARBON-LUX-UNOFFICIAL-aries-20160406-1933.zip

please note, it's completely untested as it was just a testbuild if my 6.0.1_r24 merges were compiling, I yet need to test if it actually boots, which however probably won't happen in the next days as I'm in my finals ATM.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
Has someone tried this already? Am i understanding correctly we could have at last a aosp based rom with working camera??? That would be wonderful....!!!!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
Just tested it, everything (exept RIL/Radio) is working (I was not able to test RIL/Radio because I was to lazy to put my simcard in the Z3C :P). Camera is on a LPish level, but always keep in mind that everything is highly experimental and by no mean meant to be stable.

If someone cares: I'm currently working on merging the kexec-hardboot patches into the 3.10 AOSP Kernel, to get MultiROM support for M too. This however seems to be harder than expected, and terribly hard to debug (only option to debug is via UART).

In Addition to that, my priority is to fix kexec-hardboot on the arm64 platform, because I finally want to use my Z5 as my Daily driver (I guess everyone understands that).

Regards
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
hi sir I quickly tested your rom too while you were typing probably as I was too curios :) yes evertyhing seems working pretty fine (just a little luggish somewhere) but camera is still not usable for me, very experimental as you said ;( and fish eye bug is stll there unfortunately, so I had to revert to my old config... thanks for your efforts nevertheless and good luck for your work in general and with this phone in particular if yo will do something els for us :o :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] His Dudeness:
Not certainly dead but almost, lol.

DL speed at CarbonRom server is the worst ever...

+1 to the mirror motion.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
I'm tempted to ask which Carbon Server you're using, cause there is none ;) Official Carbon downloads are hosted on basketbuild, and mine are hosted on my own server (located in France, but I just ran a speed test to various servers around the world with almost no Server delivering less than 5MB/s).

just let me know which build you want mirrored and I'll upload it somewhere else if issues keep on appearing.

BUG:

The settings app crashes once I try to add a tile to the quick settings using carbon fibers

CarbonROM 5.1.1

20151028-2112
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] His Dudeness:
Oh, good to know. By "Carbon server" I mean this one: http://carbonrom.org/downloads/ (the one @OP)

If your private one runs ok, I suppose that we are downloading from basketbuild then.

I've managed to get the file from there in about 10 min (horrid + / - 235kb/s)

Anyways thanks for your kind offer, maybe would be useful for other users.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Tesla entropia:
Novice way to solve this problem~

easily to solve that problem,

you might change your country or language to others place,

like you basic setting is US-ENGLISH ,

change to others like: CH-Taiwan,

(any other language you can use but no English

I've try use UK-ENGLISH ,and it is not work anyway,so you need to change to none-english base language country)

and go to quick settings panel again,

now your settings never crash! enjoy to add your tile!

when you finally done the customize,

simply change to your own country/language again.

and everything fine~:)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
That would finally explain why I never had it on my german testing device, but on my english Daily Driver.... ****.

Is it possible to install Sony's Dual Shock Manager via recovery?

I've got the .zip file, but will it work with this ROM?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Zwulf:
Afaik Dual Shock Manager needs working DRM and therefore locked BL to work, which is only possible with a stock (-based) ROM.

Don´t know, because i bought it used...does it matter ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mrrflagg:
Sounds like its locked. Do not unlock it without a TA partition backup. If you dont care about the camera or sony features(which dont matter with this ROM anyway) then you can unlock it and it will boot up.

This ROM will only work with an unlocked bootloader.

I suggest you flash a factory image and start from scratch. And make sure follow the steps properly.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mrrflagg:
THANKS and Antutu screenshot, WOW

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] Firstly thanks for your work.

I have had this ROM and your Kernel since it first went up and so far am extremely pleased with it and as said in earlier posts it certainly has far more customisation options and I have found I don't need xposed installer at this stage.

Will be interesting to see how battery life goes, I was averaging 2days 15hours before plugging in a charger on KK

I look forward to further updates.

Also does this use 5.1.1 or 5.1.1r2?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
testing the rom. very nice indeed.

so far only things i miss a lot are:

1. fast and dedicated network mode toggle to switch quickly from 2g only to 3g only for example (i know i can long press network tile and then change the network mode from there by it takes longer than a dedicated 2g/3g toggle :( )

2. possibility to show only left and right cursor arrows always when in keyboard like in CM (when i need to use the arrows now i have to press the switcher on the left of the navbar and wait for the cursors to show up, and this take also some time as the animation is pretty slow)

3. possibility to always show volume panel expanded (don't find this option in settings, strange because i remember all other aosp roms available for z3c i tried had this)

4. possibility to show power menu and volume panel when long pressing navbar buttons (power menu can be shown elsewhere, like in quicktiles or in status bar, but volume panel can't, and i really like showing it pressing virtual buttons to avoid using too much hw volume buttons ;) )

5. radio fm

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION]: as you said you are a carbon core team dev, can you please tell me if there are any chances to see the above added sooner or later in this great rom? TIA!

here instead the bugs or similar i found: (full wipe before flashing this rom)

1. if i add "notifications" quick tile, then long pressing it i get FC and system UI restarts..

2. i find back button in navbar a little unresponsive/delayed? i mean, if i am for example inside settings > carbonrom fibers > status bar (i mean inside multiple sub pages) and i press repeatedly and quickly back button, it takes ages to go back to homescreen, while it used to be very fast with stock or other roms. instead it seems that if i press back button, wait for the screen refresh and get to the new screen, then press again back button etc and go on this way, it takes shorter, so maybe it is just a different behavior, but i much prefer pressing quickly multiple times back button without waiting between one press and the other...

EDIT: yes i think this is a bug, or a not wished behavior btw. if i press quickly the back button, without waiting some time, the back button effect is completely ignored! please see the screen record i made: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ortbruhau3fzx2q/SCR_20150530_113217.mp4?dl=0

3. if I'm on data, and want to turn on wifi and access my saved wifi or a different closed one, i click wifi label under wifi icon and the wifi quick tile subpage opens up and scan starts. then nothing appears until I click the empty space in the middle (see attachment): now and only now i see the networks i can connect to! I'm the only one with this?

I'm checking right now battery life and later battery charging time as it seemed longer to me the first time compared to stock...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] charliebigpot:
You just need to follow the tutorial on rooting in the General section. One step shows how to back up the DRMs. You will lose them when unlocking, but after doing the backup you can restore them when going back to a stock based rom.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] it seems i found out the reason of the problem with the back button unresponsiveness: assigning "kill app" function to back button long press, generates this problem! leaving blank the long press function, it works fine! (i need long press back button to kill app so i always enable it immediately). here is a screenrecord to better explain what i mean: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yu85fybq8uc8z64/SCR_20150531_102604.mp4?dl=0

in your rom, actually first i enabled developer options, scrolled back to the bottom, and enabled "kill app with back button", but that doesn't work it seems, so then i assigned kill app in navbar mods, and this way introduced the back button problem. so it seems in this rom it is not possible to assign kill app long pressing back button safely for the moment.

now i installed xposed + gravity box, and i could do some of the things i asked to add in carbon. don't like the idea to use xposed on a custom rom, but for now I'll keep it so i can have all i need. here some examples:

1. always show directly expanded volume panel + show volume panel and power menu long pressing navbar buttons: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vsjooesvd6msule/SCR_20150531_102417.mp4?dl=0

2. directly show only left and right cursor arrows when keyboard is opened: https://www.dropbox.com/s/653jzu4an3h85ke/Screenshot_2015-05-31-09-59-30.png?dl=0 (the middle buttons should be centered but GB is conflicting a little with this rom navbar mods)

hope you'll add the same in carbon so i can get rid of xposed ;) :o

TIA for your attention!

Hi,

I have unlocked bootlader and am trying to install this rom but Philz recovery shows "status 7" error when I flash the zip.

What is the problem, how can I flash the zip succesfullly?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: It seems that the phone does not boot anymore. It does not enter into recovery mode either. It shows "Sony" and "Xperia" words on the screen and waits indefinitely.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] funiewski:
flash boot.img from carbon rom with fastboot, I´m not sure if carbon has cm or twrp recovery, just in case flash multi rom twrp with fastboot (you don't need to use more than one rom if you don't want), now you can reach recovery in usual way(vol +)

Anyone? :)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] zihinsiz:
I flashed stock kitkat with flashtool, then I saw your reply. I flashed TWRP and restored my backup and i am at the start point again. I will try again.

Can you provide flash boot.img and flash recovery commands? I am using linux, I flashed TWRP with command below in fastboot mode (connected usb cable with vol + pressed when the phone is off) but I am not sure about it. But it worked.

sudo fastboot flash boot fota-twrp2.8.5.0-z3c.img

Should I flash boot.img after "status 7" error? And should I run same command above, with filename boot.img?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
you need xposed alpha for lp 5.1... here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3072979

fota img shouldn't be flashed as a kernel with the command you wrote afaik... easier thing to flash it btw is to install rashr from play store, and install the fota img directly via that app.. much easier and faster ;)

ps. it seems to me battery is not as good as in stock, so i may go back to stock at least for now :( others noticed the same?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] funiewski:
Correct command for boot.img is fastboot flash boot boot.img

For fota recovery fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] zihinsiz:
Thanks. I have managed to flash recovery, but in order to solve "status 7" error, I modified "update-script" in the rom. I deleted the assert expression at the beginning of the file. This time zip is flashed succesfully, after boot.img flash, it booted correctly.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jarayn:
Very nice rom so far thanks.

The only real issue I have is the camera, more specifically the camera button. I want it to work properly. Any solutions?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Gomezie:
Agreed... I'd quite like to the get the stock (or 20MP Superauto modified version) of the sony camera with DRM on this rom, then it would be heaven too
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] funiewski:
the problem occurs because CM does not call Z3C as aries but z3c, if default.prop in recovery defines device as aries it gives status 7 error, there is two solutions: one that you used and second to edit default.prop in recovery. But I don't think multirom twrp has this problem

Does " folder mount " app working properly with this Rom ??

can anyone test it for me ?? specially when moving " data " not " obb " folder

thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] boojay:
Would that be possible? i.e. A bootloader unlocked custom rom with DRM-protected features still in tact? Like many, that's the only thing keeping me from unlocking the bootloader because I want to keep my camera's low light performance. Stock Sony is good enough for me, but the memory leaks are driving me nuts and who knows when they'll roll out 5.1.x?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hispanico957:
You can have a comparison of a photo taken with this rom respect rom stock with locked bootloader?

Bug?

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION]

I have noticed a bug, when I go to reboot the phone or reboot in to recovery the device shuts down and does not restart or go in to reovery.

I have to push the power button again to power up the phone and press vol + if I want to get to recovery.

I am using your M5 kernel in combination with the ROM if that may play any part in this issue.

Would it help to send you a bug report?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] boojay:
I'm aware that DRM features can be restored after unlocking the bootloader, but as far as I know, one must return to stock (and a relocked bootloader) in order for the features to work again.

Are you saying there's a DRM patch for unlocked bootloader that allow the camera to still function properly while on non-stock roms? Because I haven't been able to find such a thread/fix yet.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] shafiq01:
