you need to unlock your bootloader to be able to do that. i advise you to read about it first.

regards
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] michbag:
The bootloader unlock allowed: yes, that is unlocked. Any other ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] deepongi:
read what you wrote... "bootloader unlock allowed: yes" .. your are allowed/have the possibility to unlock the BL, doesnt means its unlocked.

several operator branded xperia's are not allowed to unlock the BL.

Hi, I have currently installed the concept software without root. How good is the camera without drm keys? I think we can't restore the drm keys...

I have an Backup from the drm keys. But still unrooted. Can I unlock the bootloader and then only flash the kernel from Post #1 to get root?

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Low light pictures *may* not be as good if you unlock the bootloader. I haven't personally verified it.

BTW. You are flashing a recovery, not a kernel. The kernel gets patched and root applied when you flash Supersu.zip.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] -Happy Feet-:
maybe i try it today and have a look at the Camera Pictures after rooting. OTA Update are posted here for flashing when a new Version is available??
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Yeah I'll post it:thumbup:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] 2010matej:
Forget. I finally installed supersu :)

I've got problem while flashing supersu (2.65,66,67...). It comes to

Patching init.*rc, fstabs, file_contexts, dm-verity---Failure, aborting

What to do? I successfully flashed it last time, but now i have problems. I make clean flash of rom to. :confused:

Hi, does anyone have a kernel of TWRP for .3027? boot.img with this post #306 returns an error: FAILED (remote: size too large)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Flash the twrp recovery in the op, then flash the 3027 system and boot zips and Systemless SuperSu.zip
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] googlownik:
The first time the phone caught bootloop. The second time, all applications drew errors "application has been stopped." It was only the third time moved.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Sorry, forgot to mention that factory reset from within twrp is required if coming from another rom, before flashing supersu.zip

can you help me to flash crdroid marshmallow with this recovery?

Every time i try, i get a black screen with no boot splash. System can boot but with blackscreen.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Extract cdroid boot.img from the zip, fastboot it, reboot to recovery and flash the rom?

Edit: Maybe you should use flashtool to flash a. 264 rom first. That will give you the new (non-concept) bootloader.

Please post further questions in the cdroid thread.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] aliw32619:
You mean flash the concept rom by sony first?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
I mean problems flashing cdroid (or any other rom) should be reported to the creator of that rom.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] aliw32619:
Yeah i already reported but he didn't reply lol , my recovery disappears after flashing the rom
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] blindman666:
Hello shoey63,

would you be so kind to create a TWRP 3.0.0.0 for Z3 Compact too? The official TWRP Homepage Version lists 2.8.7.0 still as the newest version, and if i am right the official one is the FOTA Version, not the Version for the new Concept bootloader. Many Thanks!

Blindman

Edit:

Official 3.0 is out for z3 compact and it works with concept bootloader, so forget what i postet above...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Sonyman2111:
I'm having problems even getting to the concept recovery screen. I can get to fastboot mode no issues, I just don't see any thing on the display at that point, just a blank screen. This isn't necessarily a huge problem as I can flash my recovery to boot when I get into problems or need to backup/restore etc, but it's a bit of a nuisance. Any one know why I can't see my concept recovery?

Forgot to say, thanks to all in this thread who've helped me get this far!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Did you flash concept rom ftf first?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Thanks for letting me know. I was about to have a go at compiling it for you;)

[MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION] can you upload new system dump with boot.img?

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] yuzhengwen:
How is this affected by new boot img patch for root? Why discontinue cause of that? I dont understand
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
It's simple. Flash recovery (if you don't have one), flash the zip from a few posts above (installs stock mm-beta boot and system), then flash supersu.zip in recovery. It automatically patches the boot.img and roots the device.

Reboot and done.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] yuzhengwen:
I know bro butt why you discontinue
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Because supersu does all the work now. Before it didn't, so I had to do it manually back then.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] yuzhengwen:
In the zip above the boot image us different from the one provides in this thread??

Also to flash with ftf, just flash ftf, then flash this recovery and all set right?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Ok so the procedure is:-

- Make sure bootloader is unlocked.

- Flash concept ftf

- Flash recovery from the first post

- Boot into that recovery as per instructions from the first post.

- Flash the 3536 zip. (NOTE: the kernel and system in the zip are PURE STOCK)

- Flash supersu.zip. It will patch the STOCK kernel and ROOT the device, and you will be able to boot back into twrp recovery when needed (use a Playstore app such as Quick Boot).

- Reboot

Next question? Or have you got it now;)

-
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Thread closed to save confusion. No kernels here.

Kernel builds have been discontinued due to Chainfires systemless root method which automatically patches the Stock kernel. Future system and boot dumps will be posted in the main review and installation thread.

Instructions for updating rom, patching kernel and obtaining root

Preparation

- If you haven't already done so, flash concept mm rom from This thread

- Download SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip and store it on the phone.

- Download 3536bootsystem-signed.zip and save it on your sdcard.

- Download TWRP 3 recovery.imgand save it on PC (make sure you have a working fastboot environment).

Flashing

- Enter concept rom bootloader by turning phone off and plugging usb cable into pc whilst holding volume up

- Flash the recovery.img

fastboot flash [COLOR="Red"]recovery[/COLOR] recovery.img

- In the concept bootloader menu, navigate to recovery mode using volume rocker and press the power button. Phone will now boot into TWRP recovery

- Flash the 3536bootsystem-signed.zip that you stored on your sdcard.

Note: It is a good idea to enable signature verification before flashing. The will verify the integrity of the zip.

- Flash the SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip you saved earlier.

Note: This will patch the stock kernel and root the device.

- Reboot. You are now on rooted concept mm rom updated to latest 3536 version with patched kernel and twrp3 recovery.

Additional information

- Even though TWRP is now on the recovery partition, there is no button combo to enter it. You need to

a) Power off the phone and plug into pc or charger holding volume up, or

b) Use an app from playstore that has a reboot to recovery function.

- The root method is "systemless". This means that if you do a full unroot from within the app, stock boot and recovery will be restored, and you will be able to receive OTA updates.

Note. It will only succeed if you have not modified /system in any way (even mounting it as r/w will cause update failure)

- If Titanium backup throws an "insufficient space" error, turn of the Mount namespace separation option which is already marked default in Supersu & Reboot.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Aren't you on locked bootloader? If so, I can't see how a system + boot.img dump can be achieved. If you unlock it, I can post a twrp recovery.img for you (or anyone else on UB who has got the update) to flash to recovery. Then take a backup (of only kernel and system), zip it up and post on the forums :cool:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CHaPoCA:
Yes, my BL is locked and as I said before, I'm at work and unfortunately I cant unlock my BL right now.

But, he asked me to make a backup from my system folder and said it is not a problem, so, I did it and upload. How it will not help you guys i'll send it for him and when I come back for home I upload a new one for the rest of you guys.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Need a backup of the boot.img as well. Is that possible using his method?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CHaPoCA:
No. What I got is system /app, /priv-app, /framework and build.prop.

Do you still need it?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
Perhaps with this method? I know it's a year old and for UB Nexus, but in the off chance it does work, you can keep your BL locked and still give us a boot.img. You'll have to do some ADB though.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CHaPoCA:
I don't have access to /dev folder, I'll gonna need su to do this unless you guys know other way to do.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
Yeah I forgot for a sec, I thought you were on LB + recovery somehow, allowing you to flash SuperSU, nvm. Well, just the /system files should help us a lot, thanks for taking the effort to upload them for us (later on) man : )
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CHaPoCA:
I did the upload from system folder, hope it helps somehow.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Moiremoi:
In fact, t would be great if you could send me all the files and folder in the root, because with this, I think I may be able to do an flash zip of the 2085 ^^

[EDIT] You've got a Z3 right ? removing what I've said, sorry ^^' I was thinking you've talking about Z3 Compact ^^'.

I havn't the base to do a flashable zip for the Z3 ^^'
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CHaPoCA:
What do I need to make a flashable zip?! Maybe I can make it and upload later when I'm home.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Moiremoi:
In fact i don't know how but, [MENTION=4815490]jenkins-84[/MENTION] made a flashable zip for the Z3 Compact, When I extract it, it contain a system.ext4, And I was thinking, if i'll take all system file for the 2085, and I "compress" them into a .ext4 I may be able to replace the EXT4 archive in the flashable zip by the updated one ^^
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] deepongi:
i managed via ADB to delete the folders /app /frameworks /priv-app on the phone, and pushed your system dump.

491 files pushed. 0 files skipped.
7384 KB/s (1378815703 bytes in 182.339s)

phone booted OK with the pushed dump, check build number in attachment..

can you grab the boot img so [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION] can do its magic? im with kernel from first build, obviously.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CHaPoCA:
I can try it, but I have some questions. How can I get the boot.img without root? Cause my phone is locked and if I unlock as far as I know I'm gonna need to flash an advanced stock kernel (with TWRP) to be able to root the phone, right? So, if I supposedly flash this kernel will I be able to get the original boot.img from 2085 version? Or is the original boot just gone after I flashed the new kernel? Cause I want to come back to normal to receive the new OTAs.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] deepongi:
good question .. .we need to ask [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4102242]Gustavo RD78[/MENTION] how can you grab the unmodified boot .img or boot .sin
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] zmasterq:
I have idea: take system /all and custom kernel and install script from [MENTION=5432682]niaboc[/MENTION] and make custom ROM, but i will have time to try this just on weekend.. I let you know what happen..

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] feeleep:
Hi Guys,

I have a question to experts :)

I am using root mostly to get rid of the ads everywhere (adaway app). From the other side I hate all the bloatware and UI design from Sony. Now I have an idea to use concept ROM, unlock BL, flash this kernel, get root, apply adaway hosts, flash stock kernel (possible?), relock BL. Then I should have stock concept ROM without Sony stuff, without root but with ad filters and with Sony camera enhancements - am I right? Anyone did it already? :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ondrejvaroscak:
NO - as soon as you flash back stock kernel, you will get into bootloop. Concept WILL NOT boot, if system partition was modified. Even if you change A SINGLE BIT on system partition, the Verified Boot feature of stock kernel disables booting. This is why rooting is only possible with custom kernel, where Verified Boot is removed. And applying hosts inevitably changes system partition, as does rooting and unrooting. The protection works on bit level, so it detects even if you change something (a file) and then later change it back. However the partition bitmap has already changed.

So shortly, there is NO WAY how you can change ANYTHING in the system without UNLOCKED bootloader and custom kernel.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] feeleep:
OK , I see... thanks anyway!

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Kernel partition would not be touched. Twrp would be temporarily flashed to recovery partition and then a backup taken and shared. Bootloader could then be re-locked.

Are you running locked bootloader with DRM keys intact?

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
[MENTION=5224156]CHaPoCA[/MENTION] and any others users who have received updates on locked bootloader.

INSTRUCTIONS TO SHARE YOUR UPDATE

Note - at the end of the process you end up back on locked bootloader with DRM keys intact;)

Requirements

* A PC with working fastboot environment

* Flashtool 0.9.18.6 (or newer) by [MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION]

* A TA backup on your PC

* My TWRP recovery.img

Instructions

* Unlock your bootloader with flashtool

* Unplug USB cable and plug back in pressing volume up to enter concept fastboot mode

* Open the folder where you saved the recovery.img on the PC, open a command prompt and verify fastboot is working by entering

fastboot devices

The serial number of your device should come up.

* Flash the recovery.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

* On the phone, navigate to Recovery mode using volume button , and press the power button. The device will now enter TWRP recovery, with both internal and external storage being accessible.

Note: Keep /system as read only!

* Make a backup of Kernel Image and System

Edit: Restoring Twrp backup will cause the device not to boot, due to DM-Verity detecting system has been made R/W. It will therefore only boot on a custom kernel. So we need to backup pure unmodified system.img.

This is how:- In TWRP, go to Advanced/Terminal Command and select root directory (You should already be there)

Enter the following commands

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.img

and when that's done

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img

* Locate your Ta-backup*.zip on the PC, and extract TA.img and TA.md5 **Be 100% sure it is the correct backup for your own device**

* Rename TA.img to ta.emmc.win, and TA.md5 to ta.emmc.win.md5

* Open ta.emmc.win.md5 and edit it by adding this at the end, leaving a space after the numbers

ta.emmc.win

and save it.

* Create a folder called TArestore and copy the edited ta.emmc.win.md5 and ta.emmc.win into it

* Copy the TArestore folder and save it to where TWRP saved your backup ie: TWRP/BACKUPS/YOUR DEVICE

* In TWRP, go to "Restore" and select "TArestore". The option to restore Trim Area will be there. Restore it and don't forget to ensure Enable MD5 verification of backup files is checked!

* Reboot your phone, you are now back on locked bootloader with DRM keys intact:cowboy:

Note: The concept rom will automatically replace TWRP with stock recovery on reboot, so future OTA updates will be able to be received.

* Zip up the system.img and boot.img that have been saved to your device and share:good:

Hi [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION], thanks first off for your hard work and your tutorial. Not sure if anyone has uploaded a backup yet of the latest 99 update, but I'm doing so at the moment to my google drive and should be ready within the next 10 to 12 minutes.
