Has anyone else gotten a black screen after installing the Rom? I flash the FTF file with the Flashtool and it says "Flashing finished. Please unplug and start your phone."

When I start the phone I get no splash screen text or logos or anything, but the screen does turn on and stays on. However, it's all black. Even when I click the power button, I hear a "locking" sound as if the phone is working. But I can't see anything, just a black screen.

Any help?

EDIT: I just realized this is for the Xperia Z3 COMPACT, and I feel dumb. Don't be like me guys, read thoroughly.

Can I relock the bootloader and restore DRM keys and still keep custom recovery and root?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cattolicboy:
Yes for the root, but forget about concept (you would have to stick to lollipop, maybe some rom based on it).

About custom recovery, I don't know, I have always installed it after unlock the bootloader.

Summerizing: if you want root on concept (atm) you must unlocking the bootloader, there is no other way.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] 7ig3rsh4rk:
Thx for the answer but what happens if I relock the bootloader on a (rooted) concept Rom. Will I just loose root or is it necessary to re-flash the concept rom afterwards?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cattolicboy:
Since I never did what you suggest, I can't give a sure answer, but the logic tells me that you would loose root, but not the concept rom.

Stuck in a TWRP boot loop after trying SU... Were do I head for next steps?

Got it, had to format data to clear encryption.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jasestu:
Ok, stuck again. I have root access (as verified by doing root things and by a root checking app). If install SuperSU from the play store it wants to update the super user binary but is unable to do so via either "Normal" or "CWM/TWRP" methods and even if I authorise apps in SuperSU they are no longer able to perform root access functions. How do I manage root access if installing SuperSU screws everything up? Installing SuperSU allows apps to access root again.

Ok, fixed it - I'd installed jenkins-84 boot.img as part of sorting out earlier woes - so I went and extracted SuperSU v2.56 from that and it played nicely.

I'm unable to see my device with "adb devices",only flastools see my z3c in fastboot mode.

Cannot enter flashmode,the green android appears with an exclamation mark with "no command" written...

Anyway the rom is booting normally.

Edit:it's ok now,certainly a driver problem...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sibbor:
Thanks for the detailed guide!!

So I've installed the ROM successfully according to FlashTool. However, I'm stuck in a boot loop (Sony logo keeps on coming at me...).

Got into fasboot and tried to flash TWRP, but I get this error message: FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)

FlashTool messed up my partition table somehow? How do I fix this?

EDIT: Read the instructions again. I missed the "If it asks to use a script, click no." part and hit 'Yes'. Retrying... Yepp, now it's working.

I was having the exact same error as you. I already had downloaded Sony PC companion like in the instructions and then I got the software to recognize the phone. The software is running right now (I think it was closed when I was trying to flash and got your error), and it worked. To install the drivers you need to go in the drivers directory of the flashboot folder. There's an exe there to install them.

Hi,

I'm still gettin' the error: Processing of rpm.sin finished with errors.

My cell phone is z2 D6543. I'm using Windows 7.

Thanks for help.

Step

5- Now, install Flashtool. Once installed, go to "C:\Flashtool\drivers" and install flashmode and fastboot drivers(You will need to disable driver signature verification on windows 8/8.1/10).

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boh113:
Am I correct in thinking:

I followed this method about 2 months ago (currently on 3027), if I install the new ota update (3536) I would have to go through steps 25 onwards to regain root, recovery and Xposed?

As there is no wipe in steps 25 onwards I wouldn't lose any data or programs?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
It depends on your bootloader status.

Locked or unlocked?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] solvent:
Is there no one who want to encrypt their Z3 or am I the only one with this problem? If anyone has the solution please PM me. Thank you!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] h4waii:
I just went through this encryption issue. Here's how to do it with the caveat that TWRP on Z3C does NOT support data decryption, nor does it have minivold to allow manual decryption -- you won't be able to access /data while in recovery.

1). Extract and flash boot.img from stock3027.zip

2). Boot up and encrypt your device.

3). Once you confirm encryption works, boot back to TWRP recovery.

4). Skip decrypting data, flash SuperSU, it will modify boot.img to allow root.

5). You're done.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] luminoso:
By doing this and by unlocking the boot loader does my z3c lose the camera low light optimizations and DRM functions that give pictures a better look?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] JohnRossJennings:
I'd love to know that too! Thanks in advance for anyone who can answer.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boojay:
You do lose DRM features by unlocking the bootloader, but there's a DRM fix/patch that you can flash (after wiping data) that will restore those features.

Enter recovery issue

Hi,

I'm on concept rom v.3555 , unlocked bootloader, and twrp 3.0.2.0.

I can enter recovery from fastboot menu but not with vol.down + power.

Any idea?

Tks.

Edit: using twrp 3.0.0-mm by shoey63 from "beta" thread did the job.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] catskin:
To those of you that have backed up their TA partition containing the DRM keys. How did you manage to restore it?

I tried to do it with the same tool that did the backup and although the "trial" restore worked OK but as soon as I restart, I was stuck on a black screen and can unbrick only by reflashing the ftf.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boojay:
That's strange, I used the same tool to restore TA recently and it worked fine. I was on Concept MM and wanted to try Beta/Official MM .570 so I had downgraded to KK .93 with Flashtool, rooted, restored TA via likely the same backup tool you used (I had unlocked my BL to get root on Concept and lost DRM keys), and then worked my way back up to Beta MM without any issues.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] catskin:
Probably because you went back to the stock rom when you reapply the TA partition.. but you weren't able to keep DRM keys while still on Concept?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boojay:
I wanted root while on Concept and at the time that was only possible by unlocking the boot loader. Applying the DRM fix worked, however. Now I'm on Beta/Official with TA partition restored so no need to run the fix.

No, AFAIK you can't have root on Concept without an unlocked bootloader.

Yes, you can have official marshmallow with root and locked bootloader, but this is not the correct thread. You can take a look here: http://xdaforums.com/z3/general/wip-sony-android-6-0-mm-t3337357/page1

Cannot Enter TWRP?

Hello i have Z3C (D5803) with Android 6.0.1 installed (23.5.A.0.570)

I have just upgraded from 5.0.1 where it WAS rooted and DID have the bootloader unlocked.

I have followed your steps and managed to flash 6.0.1 using flashtool, and that is all working fine. However, I am now trying to install and use TWRP;

I am following your steps, and ensuring that "fastboot devices" shows my device before using "fastboot flash revcovery twrp.img" (i used your download link to obtain twrp) It says it has done it not a problem, and no errors and then simply used "fastboot reboot" to boot back into normal.

I have tried several times to gain access into TWRP but to no avail? I have followed the steps and just now done a complete re-flash via FlashTool and re-installed TWRP as per your method (i have not "unlocked" the bootloader as it is already unlocked from 5.0.1) yet i still cannot for the life of me access TWRP to enable me to install SuperSU

I have also tried to use "adb reboot recovery" to access TWRP and that doesn't work either.

Please help
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] systemallica:
I'm sorry, but this thread and guide is not for official Marshmallow, it is for Concept software.

Anyways, if you are on Concept you should be able to fastboot flash any of the TWRP recoveries from the official webpage(https://dl.twrp.me/z3c/). And then enter recovery using the fastboot menu. Cheers.

I just activated a Blackberry Priv. However, i now notice that the lovely hardware keyboard is QWERTZ layout instead of QWERTY.

How do you switch the language/layout of the hardware keyboard? I cant find any information on this with google - only information on other blackberry devices. I don't get it, since I have the keyboard set to US English in the settings panel. There doesn't seem to be any other option regarding the layout?
[BlackBerry Priv] Charkatak:
My keyboard is QWERTY as it should be.

1) Did you update Blackberry apps from the Play store? If blackberry apps don't show in play store, then just search for "blackberry" in the play store and all needed apps will appear and update button will show.

If you have already done the first step, then go to settings>language & input>blackberry keyboard settings>input languages and here might be an update to the specific language.
[BlackBerry Priv] DrAzzy:
I've updated the blackberry software, but still no options seem to effect the hardware keyboard. I can change the layout of the software keyboard, but it only seems to apply to the software keyboard.

By the way, do you see the on-screen keyboard when physical one is open?

[BlackBerry Priv] raymccoy:
Thanks, this worked! But now the number 7 is mapped to the Z key (alt + z), and alt + y brings out parenthesis. It's not a huge issue, but it seems there is not way remap alt + y so it will output 7 as it is in the original layout.

Also it seems there is no autocorrect available at all when using this keyboard? I was relying on autocorrect to put the right accents in Spanish, I can't seem to be able to enable this again even if I switch the language to Spanish.
[BlackBerry Priv] raymccoy:
In the end I created a custom QWERTZ to QWERTY keyboard for AnySoftKeyboard. It solves the issue of having Y mapped to parenthesis and Z to number 7 I mentioned above.

I made them for both English and Spanish (the Spanish one lets you write "ñ" by pressing "n" three times).

I also made a custom build of AnySoftKeyboard that make predictions work with the Key2 hardware keyboard. But if you just want the remapping, it works the fine with the official AnySoftKeyboard, just predictions don't work unless you use the on-screen keyboard.

Only tested with the BB Key2.
[BlackBerry Priv] Memphie:
Hello raymccoy,

i tryed your workaround, but its not working on my Key2. I installt the Anysoftkeyboad from Your attachments and your languages apks. But my physical Keyboard does not change the layout. Can you tell me the steps to install?

[BlackBerry Priv] antonyfirst:
it does not work for me either. it does not remap anything, furthermore it crashes
[BlackBerry Priv] antonyfirst:
I have to correct myself! it works, but it's necessary to install the last version of the app (from Playstore) to prevent it from crashing... AND it's necessary to show the virtual keyboard, otherwise physical keyboard remapping will not take place. Thankfully, the virtual keyboard can be made really tinyn so it will not be too invasive on the screen (see screenshot). Tested on BB Key2.
