Sorry if I understood this badly, but does this root method work with locked bootloader?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
Not sure, I don't need it and not had the time to read the thread. I do know with system less root you can't delete system apps (obviously). Read, try it and report back

Evening folks. I'm on 2157 and couldn't find an answer through search. I tried taking a video today but it only records for 1 second then gives an error and stops. Anyone had and solved the issue
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Luke_Hero:
Does anyone know how to make the SD card writable? The fix app that used to work in Lolipop no longer works.

I checked the platform.xml that you usually modify and the line that needs to be added appears to already be there.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Poag:
Its a change in Marshmallow. The simple answer is "You can't"

The longer answer is "You can if the app supports it and has a request written into it to ask for access to the root of the SD card"

Either way it require the App itself to support the request for root sd card access atm. (afaik)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] istux:
What a bad news :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Xentar712:
I had this issue when I first flashed it. After a reboot, I never had the issue again. Google camera worked flawlessly before the reboot though so it's software
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] adz63:
I've done everything I can think of. Still don't work
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Xentar712:
What app specifically? I finally got Titanium backup to work with SDcards but it's VERY pesky... I'd like to test my method on something else.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] HvdW:
Could that be a way to regain the lost DRM keys whilst unlocking my device?

Or is this to stupid to ask.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Xentar712:
If you didn't specifically backup your TA partition, you aren't getting your keys back.

And to clarify - I think you have to back it up while rooted. That's the way I always do it.

Now on tap working now!!! (more languages) QUICK FIX =)

So today Google announced That Now on tap now support more than only english system language including: german, french, italian, spain, japanese, korean an russian \^_^/

To get now on tap, you need to be on Android 6+ and then go update your Google app if it isnt allready the latest. Sometimes you have to enable it manually in Gnow Settings -> Cards.

For me there was no Now on tap switch, BUT you can trigger it easily, heres how:

1. Long press home button -> Gnow opens

2. In the Gnow app search for "now on tap"

3. Open the google info site about it, just below thr news

4. Now long press again & it ask you if you want to enable

Now on tap ;D

5. Profit.

(big thanks to) source: http://stadt-bremerhaven.de/google-now-on-tap-nun-auch-in-deutschland/ (german blog)

Peace =)

In addition to my previous post. I have tried different camera/video apps from playstore and they all say my system is not supported. Tried a clean refresh still the same

EDIT got it working some how lol

Any news about any new builds prerooted?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
Sh#t, you got a free like by accident!

Probably when he can afford to fix his pc. Also 3021 update got pulled due to bugs and they have only recently released 3027 in the last few hours....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] myhrdak:
what type of home button do you mean.

the z3c has no typical "home button".

and if i press the softkey home long,

the phone vibrates 2 times and nothing

happens!

thanks for helping,

a german collegue
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] lamducthien:
Can you provide twrp backup as usual?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] bejunk:
Hi. Im talking about tne softkey (round cyrcle) button

Make sure your Google app is updated to latest..and enable google hotword on all secreens. Also look in settings if Google is the default search app. (assistant)

Maybe also need gnow launcher....

Good luck!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Luke_Hero:
Ohh really, that's why the permissions already seem to be there in the platform.xml file then. The app I'm using has been given permission to access storage but still doesn't work.

I use an app called wifi file transfer pro to wirelessly send things over. The app has been given permission on Android but the UI on my laptop just says "sorry, this directory isn't writable"
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Xentar712:
I tried your app but it's not just the SD card - it doesn't work with internal storage either. Is it that way for you too?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] tetsuo55:
Hello sir, could you upload a new backup of OTA 3027?

If you could upload only the system folder that would be fine too.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Moiremoi:
I've rooted 3027 but I use system-less root how I can share it a backup without including my data ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] funiewski:
no need for that, the build is uploaded in general thread
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Moiremoi:
Didn't see it, sorry ^^
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] tetsuo55:
yeah i got one thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] menhir:
Please can someone explain me how can I upgrade to Concept 3027 form previous version of Concept. If it is only system backup how can I make it work? Thanks

I'm wondering how the progress on not requiring unlocked bootloader is going.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] epirater:
This is all so exciting!

Sorry if it's already been said, but:

Is 'JimRNor's non-DRM functionality restoration mod compatible with this rom? Does this restore all functionality lost due of DRM loss with the unlocked bootloader?

And does the non-writable SD issue mean none or very few apps are able to be stored on the SD card?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] funiewski:
in general section is a thread for concept there is a link to 3027 build in zip format for flashing with twrp, in same post is a link to twrp image to use (install it with fastboot, unlocked bootloader only).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] menhir:
ok I just found there is zip inside zip - so it was my issue and the reason why I can't flash MM 3027 before. I solved it and now I have stock MM 3027 and want the root again , so i made fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img".

How can I enter recovery now? It ismply ignores what buttons I press and still booting the system...

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Xentar712:
Can you link it please? I looked there but couldn't find a link to 3027. Only an older version and an unmarked one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] funiewski:
Before you have root you have to attach you phone to pc holding vol+ (fastboot mode), menu appears, navigate with vol keys to recovery mode, push power, if you have succesfully flashed twrp phone restarts, first sony logo than appears twrp, flash latest supersu beta, reboot, if twrp says that you are unrooted, ignore it, after root you can reboot to recovery either in same way as described or in terminal, first su command than reboot to recovery(xposed and gravity box is a possibility too)

I can write to internal storage on the app no problem. It's only external I can't. So my fix has been to write to internal, then on the phone use ES File Explorer to move the content from internal to external.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] systemallica:
Could anyone make a step by step guide of how to move from 5.1.1 to latest Concept ROM with root please?

I know I need unlocked bootloader but I'm a bit confused with what to do next. Please someone make a Christmas gift for us all? :P
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Xentar712:
I came from rooted LB 5.1.1 so if you want to follow where I started and if you want to backup your DRM, follow this: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343

Then once you're at that point - that's where I came from. Then all you have to do is unlock your bootloader, boot once, copy over the ROM, reboot into TWRP, flash the rom, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot.

I don't think anyone is going to make a step by step since almost everyone is coming from different starting points. A lot of these threads assume you know what you're doing so I can understand how it can be overwhelming and borderline frustrating.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] systemallica:
Thank you very much! So if I understood correctly, following these steps will get me to Concept ROM 2157, right? There is no way to get the latest version rooted at the moment? Thanks again mate :3
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Xentar712:
I'm on 2178 which jenkins posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64176268&postcount=461

I haven't tried the latest yet, but from what I understand, Supersu can just be flashed afterwards to get root. I need to read about it more before I try it myself. Honestly, I have nearly zero problems with 2178 so I'm not that motivated.

I am noticing slow wifi performance across 5G bands. Is this a hardware limitation? Might be time to upgrade...

(I get about 2-3MBps even when connected at 200-433Mbit. Almost identical speed to my 2.4ghz channels. Tested with two quality AP's, same speed on each.)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] smorgar:
I get no speed problems with 5GHz wifi: 153Mbit/s down and 113Mbit/s up. Have not tested on local lan. The test was made to internet via my Asus N66U-router.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] sweets11:
Update: Tested on a few different 11ac devices, to two different 11ac AP's.

z3c reporting 433mbps link speed, transfer rates of 3MB/s.

dlink dwa171 usb dongle (11ac, 1x1) reports same link speed, speeds averaging 23MB/s.

11n 2x2 on 2.4ghz band, 12MB/s.

I'll give up on the z3c wifi for now. I only wanted it for wireless music syncing but its just quicker to direct USB connect.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fusk:
When you update you don't need to wipe everything, right. You just flash on top of the previous version?

With the drm recovery i might flash this tomorrow.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] bejunk:
In developer option, tick on "use old DHCP Client" (Lollipop one), Reboot and see if better now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Matteo Mazzu:
If I come from Lollipop BL (so with TA partition) which steps should I make for installing MM and drm fix? :) an early thanks :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] shoey63:
Just flash it. You can do on LB no problem. You will lose data if coming from kk or lp though. Take appropriate measures for data backup.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Matteo Mazzu:
But doesn't needs to be UBL for installing AndroPlus Kernel and after the Rom and the Drm fix?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] shoey63:
You didn't mention you wanted to go from LB to UB and flash AndroPlus Kernel, which won't work on concept rom anyway. It's not designed for it.

Edit: DRM fix won't do anything either. There is nothing to fix, as DRM features aren't included in concept rom.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Matteo Mazzu:
I thought that Drm fix was a way for restoring drm function that are absent on MM :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] WieserZ1C:
Regarding the Concept Rom its not needed to restore any drm keys because Theres no Sony covered stuff integrated ( only Sony engine running Prozesses ( Like DSEE HX or other Sony features) require drm keys. AS long this isnt integrated Theres no need and even no possibility to restore the keys

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fusk:
It tells me to update, but says the updater is disabled. But searching this thread i find no other mention of this.

I see, it's not supposed to work. Thought it was.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] cattolicboy:
There is some misunderstanding here, or someone is making a little of confusion, both from who's asking, that from who's answering: it's not possible to restore the original DRM keys (except that with restoring the TA's backup), but it is possible to restore some features of the DRM keys that got lost with the process of unlocking the bootloader.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
Yup correct, but there is no need to flash drm zip with concept rom as there are no drm functions to restore.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
not even better image quality for pictures taken with camera in low light conditions? are you sure guys? tia
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mousse04:
So, it means that Sony has provided its ROM without their image enhancements ?! Strange, even for a beta.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] cattolicboy:
Wait wait! I'm on jenkins-84' concept (last 2178), so I'm speaking about this version (I don't know about the official concept n°3027, but I'm guessing it's the same matter) and I can confirm that the "DRM mod" has restored the camera features lost in the process of unlocking the bootloader.

See it yourself in the attached pics.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] xcelsiussx:
Anyone? Pls
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
that's what I meant, at least the alghoritms for camera image enhancements in low light conditions had to be there :o

can you maybe post all exact steps you followed to apply properly the drm mod? maybe in a separate thread? tia ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] istux:
So that mod works on Concept too :D

That's really good :good:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] cattolicboy:
No need for a separate thread, there are already so many hihi!

It's simple to explain: the mod that I have installed in recovery, is the new version (v3 here).

Important thing, is that you do it as first thing after a clean install of the rom, or, if you want to install it in your actual rom, that you do a system restore in recovery (wipe data, cache ad dalvik) and then install the fix (both options personally tested).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Moiremoi:
Oh dear god [MENTION=4815490]jenkins-84[/MENTION] ! x) Can you give us your deodex script + your stock Setting app, it will be very, very, very appreciable !

ok seems long lasting. is rom reliable for daily use, so no fc, fully functioning bluetooth/gps/and so on?

with the steps provided a few posts before i get camera quality like on locked bl? i ask that cause this is one of the major points for me to not make my bl unlocked for now.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fusk:
Thanks. Now i've been running LP since i got the phone, so havn't messed with the phone for quite a while. When updating rom, do you also need to reflash xposed and drm restore ?

Can't remember if you need to reflash everything.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] cattolicboy:
Yes, since you must do a full wipe (before installing the new rom - means losing everything) in order to proper install of the drm fix, you should reflash again xposed after.

Just remember to flash the drm fix as a first thing after the flash of the rom. Just to be sure...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fusk:
I think i expressed my self wrong. I meant updating from 2157 to 2178. Not updating from LP to M, i did the whole process yesterday.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] cattolicboy:
Doesn't matter.

Yes, I had understood you, but if you want to benefit from the drm fix, you MUST do the wipes of data, cache and dalvik.

This means losing all the apps and setting, so, I suggest you to do a back up with titanium.

Sorry, but this is the price to pay for the drm fix.

If you have already upgraded to 2178 from 2157, just do again the wipes from above, and then install the drm fix.

Make some pic shoots, in dark light conditions, before and after the fix to verify the mod.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fusk:
There's no other way to verify the drm mod ?

Hello,

I installed today this rom. then flashed an update Stock Concept ROM 3027 using this link

After flashing i Lost Recovery so i flashed it again with fastboot.

But when i want to boot in to recovery no blinking LED is found on the device.. But fastboot says i flashed TWRP correctly. So using volume down isn't working to get in to recovery.

What am I doing wrong?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] cattolicboy:
First, if you are at the moment on 3027, you should ask in the dedicated thread and not here.

Anyway, I supposed you had XZDualRecovery before flashing 3027, so now that recovery doesn't work anymore on that new build you flashed.

I don't know if you proper followed the guide to install the correct twrp, but if so, I think you should press volume up now (instead of down).
