Thats awesome! It will be the first shared update:highfive:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] rjhellel:
Here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5vBchh9HuCLclhOcUVqelhDSGs/view?usp=sharing

Hope I've done it correctly. :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CHaPoCA:
I did all that you said, and when I flashed the TA and reboot I received an message of error saying: Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly.

After that my phone just turn off and nothing more happens.

I supposed that you are using a TA Backup from current version for tests, right? Cause, how my BL is locked before the procedure, my backups are from an older version and when I plug the phone in fastboot mode I see that my BL is locked again, but my BL version is from an older instalation, in my case the .232.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] rjhellel:
I restored my .232 backup including TA and it booted just fine. Try that and see.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CHaPoCA:
Can you explain how did you do that? Cause, in my case I follow the instructions listed before.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] rjhellel:
If you can reboot into recovery, mount system RW in recovery under Mount if it does not ask when you start recovery, then restore your .232 backup including system, kernel, TA, and data if you want. It worked for me so it should realistically work for you as well.

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Any luck?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CHaPoCA:
Sadly no. :(
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] rjhellel:
OK, let's try this:

1. force shutdown by pressing volume up and power button together until it vibrates 3 times

2. connect to pc via fastboot (volume up and connect usb cable)

3. flash OP's recovery again and using the phone boot into recovery

4. if on startup recovery asks to modify system, slide to agree

5. if recovery does not ask to modify system, then ensure under MOUNT that system read-only at the bottom left is not checked. if you have to uncheck it, then do so and reboot into recovery from REBOOT tab

6. from here you can restore your .232 backup

it worked for me so it should work for you. now, if it doesn't work, then your best bet would be to re-flash a .28 firmware using flashtool then rooting and so on.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CHaPoCA:
Yes, deciding what version should I go now. Don't know if I go back to .232 or install the concept again.

Anyway, my version was 2085-somc and yours is up to date, in the end we have what we are looking for. :highfive:

Thanks for your efforts to help me, and for uploaded the boot.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] deepongi:
many thanks. im downloading right now to test it and report.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] rjhellel:
Glad to see it worked. Maybe best to go back to .232 then re-flash the concept using the installer or FTF method and update from there
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
I did not get that message at all during the procedure. But don't panic! Your device is still booting. You can work around it somehow:fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] rjhellel:
Great, keep me posted in case it doesn't work so I'll have try it again. Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
You have done exceedingly well!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CHaPoCA:
I'm not in panic, just repassing what happened. :p

I have already installed the concept, but now I don't have the updates anymore :D, maybe I'll install the package that you guys will be able to do with [MENTION=4888526]rjhellel[/MENTION] helps.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] rjhellel:
Oh that's great news, thank you for confirming that!

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the kernel version of the new update 2099 the same as the initial 2058 version? If they are the same, is it not possible to use your initial boot.img to root and use on the new update?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
I'm in the process of tweaking the new kernel for UB....

Edit: Yes my original UB kernel is working on 2099, that's how I posted the screenshot. The stock one you provided wouldn't boot past splash screen (Maybe you allowed R/W access to /system?), but I will fix it for UB anyways.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] rjhellel:
Great, looking forward to it!

No, I left the system partition read only and did not allow modifications.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] master':
[MENTION=1976354]lamducthien[/MENTION] look at this
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
You had better try restoring your backup first to see if it boots. I'm starting to think the backup and restore process does something to /system that dm-verity detects, and thus prevents boot on stock kernel :(
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] rjhellel:
I think I did try that before and it didn't work so I'll have to re-flash official Sony firmware to restore the TA partition and go through the whole procedure again which isn't a problem since it is more or less a backup phone.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
I've amended the sharing guide, in particular this part

If anyone is still on unmodified 2099, please try it.

Edit: I have tested, and restoring the images works like a charm, even without custom kernel :cool:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] lamducthien:
I flash 2099 ftf and see new kernel build with wed oct 28. Do you plan to update kernel ?

[MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION]

I'm using your kernel on 2058 version. I'm planning to update to 2099. Your kernel is the same for all concept mm rom versions, right? Sorry for asking i'm kind confused, these days :laugh:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
The build date for 2099 is Wed Oct 28 (did you check that?)

No need for init.d. There's an easy alternative if you use SuperSU (who doesn't ).

Using a root enabled file browser :-

- Create the directory /system/su.d

- Set it's permissions to 0700 (rwx------)

- Put your scripts in the su.d directory

- Set the permissions on your scripts to 0700

That's it. Your scripts will run during boot.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Here is the 2099 Custom kernel https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347850717
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] master':
Understand, i thought there is another difference from build date.

I didnt know su.d, great info thanks.

i have UB D6653. ROM: ROM@MX_V7.5, Can i install this Kernel? and how can Do it...?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] master':
This kernel have only 6.0 concept rom.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Flash 2099 concept rom with flashtool and fastboot 2099 custom kernel
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
BL version isn't the problem. I have tracked down the issue. It seems you have flashed supersu.zip while in recovery, and neglected to mention it. That's what causes the "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly". Flashing SuperSu wasn't in the instructions I gave.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CHaPoCA:
No, I didn't flash the supersu.zip. Just followed all the steps that you gave.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Interesting. I got the error, with SuperSu in /data..

I'm going to try the procedure again from scratch....
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Even more interesting. I flashed back 2058 ftf after full wipes. To my surprise I received a notification to update to 2085 OTA, which I did. Then got another one to update to 2099, which I also did.

I am in Australia, unlocked bootloader, and not part of the concept rom program. Didn't even install the app.

I'm going to make a "systemless root " kernel, and see how it goes...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] rspy:
Is there a website where i can read the changelog for every new build?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ondrejvaroscak:
The previous Concept (Lollipop) OTA was also available for non-registered users..

There is a small chance, that all that fuss about OTA recently may have been simply caused by some technical problem on updating system (Amazon cloud vs Sony delivery).
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
No website, just info from user's screenshots

2085:

*New Home 10

*New Qualcomm Release

*Tap to Wake

*Support for MIDI via USB

*Support more bitrates for flac audio content

*Updates to keyboard

2099:

*Fixed timeshift burst

*Fixed charger detection

*Fixed equalizer problems

*Some stability fixes
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] 2010matej:
I flashed 2099 and you kernel, i lost root (before i was on 2058). Is there any problems after flashing supersu (like before it was camera), or it's safe? :laugh:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ldarbs:
It's safe :). Flashed 2.52 and all is well so far (camera works, android pay loads, but I haven't tested a card yet)

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ldarbs:
SELinux permissive on boot break camera?

So on 2099 with the respective kernel (build date Wed. Oct 28), using the "setenforce 0" command doesn't break the camera (sorry for using imgur; it's the only hosting site I know besides GDrive, and I can't upload images directly yet). As this doesn't survive hard reboots, does anyone know if we could use this method to set SELinux to permissive on boot by putting the script in the su.d directory? (I think it was said that the kernel doesn't support init.d) Would it break the camera again? I want to use Doze Settings Editor, but it crashes unless I'm in permissive mode
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
if you set permission on the script to 0700, it might work. I haven't tried it though (if camera breaks, delete the script), and days of mods/apps requiring permissive are numbered. Devs are learning to work with enforcing mode.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] lamducthien:
Find how to get OTA update with latest FW 2134. Flash stock 2099 FTF and you get OTA update. I think OTA only working with stock recovery. That is reason that when I used 2099 with kernel cook, I get error

BTW, waiting for 2134 kernel with recovery from you, tag me when you finished please. My device is Z3 compact. Thanks !
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Custom kernel overwrites fota/recovery partition with twrp, so OTA won't work. You NEED to be on stock kernel, recovery and System. LB or UB doesn't matter.

I don't seems to have any recovery installed, what am I doing wrong?

EDIT: seems there are 2 ways to get into recovery, one throug the bootloader which doesn't work, another one by hitting the volume up button at the right time during boot (I just keep mashing it untill I see TWRP)

the second way works for me :)

After some struggling (I use my sd as internal, when I placed a file on it with my computer, I couldn't find it in TWRP.

finally managed to sideload it, and it is working like a charm :D

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
You need stock kernel and recovery for that. I will make flashable zip when the next updates happen. But /system is untouched, so no need to re-flash it ;)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] deepongi:
working flawless.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Moiremoi:
And if I install a mod, like an audio mod (which install itself in /system) , will it "broke" the main utility of this root method?

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
Most root apps don't modify /system but take a TWRP backup of /system before flashing mods that modifyi it.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ondrejvaroscak:
so if i get it right, basically it allows you to be rooted, when needed to update just flash stock kernel back, update and flash custom kernel and re-root, so no need to revert system for OTAs unless you intentionally change it - so better keep system ro...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shoey63:
That's right. You can enjoy root while waiting for the next update without modifying /system. Stock recovery needs to be restored as well because custom kernel overwrites it with TWRP, and OTA updates only work with stock recovery. I will make a zip that restores both kernel and recovery. That way the next update will install without issue after flashing it, even on locked bootloader.

first of all you should know that newer samsung phones are not be downgradable to older fw.. So fw version which is installed on your device and fw newer than that can only be flashed.. And, second, what were ur steps during odin flash???

Switch to download mode then make sure latest odin and samsung usb drivers are installed on ur pc,disable keis if installed.. Then connect ur device, tick factry reset and auto reboot and untick re partition..click ap and select the downloaded firmware.. Once md5 check finished click flash..

Ur phn will reboot after flashing and you are goot to go.

I do not know about the pit file being included while using Smart Switch but I would sure give that a try. I have mentioned it to others as fix but they did not seem to be able to figure out how to use it correctly so I will list the procedure out for you and you can try and see.

Put your phone in Download Mode

Open Smart Switch on your PC

Click More in Smart Switch

Click Emergency software recovery and initialization

Click the Device Initialization tab

Type in your model number using caps for any letters in your model and using the dash where appropriate

Click Search

Type in your serial number again using caps for all letters

You will see a pop up saying that it can be initialized or something like that, click OK

A new pop up will tell you which version it will be initialized to

Click OK then it will start downloading some files

Another pop up will come up telling you how to enter download mode

Connect your phone to the PC and click OK

It will download the firmware from Samsung

If you followed those steps exactly it will work unless you really do need another pit file that Smart Switch does not provide but I do not see why it would not.

Good luck
