Working perfect on locked bootloader I just went to recovery on lollipop installed with no wipe of data, then after installing all files wiped cache and dalvic and then restarted using it for 1 and a half days love it.
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
Instructions for UB are also in the OP.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
I am sorry, but you DID NOT! There is nothing written that you should install ricdefeat and selinux permissive for UNLOCKED bootloader!
[Xperia Z3 General] mihayash:
I have root acces , but i can not delete odex.app files and odex.pvt-app ,i can delete files from system/app and system/pvt-app
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Of course you can't, it's mount of read only squash fs.
[Xperia Z3 General] kingsasha:
I did.

I renamed it to boot.img

I rebooted into fastboot

I typed fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then fastboot reboot

And got stuck on that screen
[Xperia Z3 General] Horgar:
All's working fine for me. I only have some troubles with TB, can't back up. But after reading this thread and ondrejvaroscak's thread it seems it may be an issue with TB on mm. Great work everyone, to get root for lb so quickly is amazing. I can see it was a great communal effort.
[Xperia Z3 General] deepongi:
TB is working flawless on MM Beta... im using it myself, v7.3.0.1

regards.
[Xperia Z3 General] JaseLegenda:
Don't reboot
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
One thing, on UNLOCKED you flash ONLY supersu. Not byeselinux and ric killer.
[Xperia Z3 General] TharakaKS:
Yes confirm. v7.3.0.1 works fine (both restore and backup)

But I have a permission problem with Greenify. Does not work auto hibernation.

I have been using this for a full day.. It's better than Lollipop.. Less heat, smoother UI, slightly better battery life than Lollipop (I'm getting 6h sot)

You guys are amazing!
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Backups are working OK, only thing not working is uninstalling system apps. When I delete for example Anonymous Data in TB, it is still in /system/apps although TB dhows app as deleted. After reboot TB shows the app back as installed. But minor problem, I debloat manually using ADB.
[Xperia Z3 General] kingsasha:
Then after flashing it what should i do?
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Everything is in OP. You flash kernel using fastboot, reboot in recovery, flash supersu, reboot. Nothing more nothing less.
[Xperia Z3 General] xfire:
I all works and I thank those who "works" for us all.

I only have a problem writing to the external sd: the camera can not be set to save on the external as well as other apps like Titanium sd can not write to the card.

How can I fix? Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 General] kingsasha:
What command should i type, fastboot reboot recovery?
[Xperia Z3 General] Horgar:
Seems to be not letting TB have write access to SD card. I also have an issue with deleting system apps. I can use other apps to debloat but would like to be able to back up with TB.

A question though. When official release comes can we get root with same method?
[Xperia Z3 General] caqo71:
TB works ok for me, i uninstalled a lot of Google apps with no issues. After reboot, the app are gone. I did a factory reset just after installing mm and rebooting the phone.

[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
It looks like some apps are getting deleted, some not. I tried Hangouts and they got deleted. But Anonymous Data keep staying...

There is a combination of buttons to recovery. Look in thread.
[Xperia Z3 General] doresreturns:
hmm.. Are you flashing it on Z2?

I believe this boot image works on Z3 only.
[Xperia Z3 General] kingsasha:
yes i have a Z2 , then that's why my phone got messed up !

np, since i made a backup...
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
No comment :laugh:
[Xperia Z3 General] kingsasha:
funny you're laughing

but the post on the z2 forum got me here :)
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
I am sorry that you do not understand English to that level that made you confused. The post on Z2 forum said clearly that root was achieved for Z3 and that the way it was achieved can help to achieve it also on Z2. Which doesn't mean that you should go and flash blindly Z3 files to Z2...
[Xperia Z3 General] Thieuke:
So I'm trying to achieve root access after flashing MM Beta. No succes so far. What I did was:

- flash MM ROM

- Flash bootloop fix

- started up MM ROM, all is well !!!

Then trying to get root, I'm on UB, use that method first

- After flashing MM ROM and reboot system I got no recovery left

- boot into fastboot

- flash rootable boot img

- reboot --> BOOTLOOP (Sony comes on the screen, then purple light flashing, then reboots etc. etc.

To get phone back I did this:

- reboot into fastboot

- Flash CWM recovery

- boot into recovery

- flash beta SU

- Flash byeselinux_flashable.zip

- Flash RICDefeat.zip

- reboot

Phone then reboots into system, all is well, except no root.

Anyone got sime suggestions?
[Xperia Z3 General] richish:
Flashed MM with root and exposed from dual recovery. Every thing is working, only thing that the recovery is missing. At moment trying use only trusted exposed modules to not get bootloop,beacuse road back is long.

Nice work guys . Keep it up
[Xperia Z3 General] w. junior:
I was able by copying the files manually.

I'm having problems with the reproduction of music over Bluetooth.

The music is cutting
[Xperia Z3 General] Horgar:
I notice I get hangs when rebooting on mm I had the same on lp. Always end up having to power volume up and then boots fine. Not always though, maybe 1 in 4 reboots
[Xperia Z3 General] okij:
I read that it's a known problem of MM beta, so Sony should fix it in the next release.

Could you please check if phone calls work OK over Bluetooth and report here? I'm asking since I didn't switch to MM yet and this would be a no-go for me since I need it in my car.
[Xperia Z3 General] kingsasha:
well, I DO understand English very well , but I thought I Don't need to do the LB method since I have an unlocked Bootloader .

and i really don't care if my phone gets messed up , I Can easily fix it with FlashTool.

And I'm sorry if I bothered you , annoyed you and Wasted Your time :)
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
It is not about my time. It is also messing up the thread and costs time of developers. If you write that something doesn't work as it should, then they must take a look what possibly could go wrong and why you have problems. Just to find out, that you just don't understand written instructions. You are not the first and unfortunately not the last one. So while rushing to try everything new, it is sometimes good to calm down and think twice. It helps us all.
[Xperia Z3 General] Sherif Abdl-Naby:
Okay, I've installed this ROM on Sony DUAL D6633, With root and xposed and everything is working fine.

Except for the Arabic Language !!!, The ROM doesn't recognize Arabic(or RTL fonts), i tried to install a different font containing arabic.

I succeeded to fix the arabic and it showed successfully but it is ugly and not readable (also the English has changed and it is even uglier).

I Flashed back to Lolipop and made a backup for the fonts so i can restore it on MM, I double checked that the fonts i copied contains arabic (through the iFont app viewer), but when i restored this fonts on MM they had the same problem (Squares instead of letters).

also the iFont viewer showed squares although it was showing the right letters before.

can somebody help me fix this ?
[Xperia Z3 General] two67:
I have been using this beta for a week now, and had no problem with calls over Bluetooth in my car. I have not tried music over Bluetooth.

[Xperia Z3 General] Horgar:
I've done full data wipe and reinstalled and still have problem with TB writing to SD card. Also see it with other root back up apps. Other apps can write to sd card fine. Annoying and can't work it out. Other than that I have no other issues. Root is solid, works as it should. MM rom is really good, super smooth and quick
[Xperia Z3 General] Allewar:
Have you tried to use another version of titanium backup?
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
I don't have that problem. Go to TB settings and change the backup folder location to SD card using Document Provider storage, in next step select SD Card, confirm, create TB backup folder and confirm. Backups work normally.
[Xperia Z3 General] Horgar:
I do that. In tb I point to my external sd card, which since flashing mm is now called exfat_uuid, and it says this folder is not writeable.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Try to unmount it, format it in PC and try use it again
[Xperia Z3 General] Horgar:
I got a lot of **** on my sd card, 90gb of ****. I'm gonna need to back up some stuff before formatting. I'll come back to you in a while. But thanks for responding.

---------- Post added at 03:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 AM ----------

No. Any recommendations on a version?
[Xperia Z3 General] -DM-:
There is a new update for TB, version 7.3.0.2

This is the changelog:

-Fixed FC when changing the backups folder location, if DocumentsProvider denies TB access to the previous location.

-Fixed FC during app backup on some platforms.

-Major translation updates.

Don't know if it's the one that you're using or not...but the update might fix your problem from the changelog...

Mind you I'm not on the beta so can't say more about it
[Xperia Z3 General] Horgar:
I'm on TB 7.3.0.2
[Xperia Z3 General] Allewar:
I'm on 7.3.0 it's working fine here
[Xperia Z3 General] JaseLegenda:
Pull the usb cable out, wait couple of seconds and boot to recovery
[Xperia Z3 General] Horgar:
Ok I'll try that before thinking about formatting my sd card. Ta
[Xperia Z3 General] xfire:
I confirm that it works, you have to change the "system of record" from a document provider's system files
[Xperia Z3 General] Moarten:
How am i supposed to restore the System Image Backup, and is that the Z3_MM_Beta_23.5.A.0.486_Flashable.zip? When i follow shoey63 steps and boot into recovery, the "Restore" option cannot find anything. If i use "install" i don't have root. My bootloader is unlocked and i flashed a .264 FTF with Flashtool before using fastboot to flash recovery.img and some no-RIC.img (renamed to boot.img).

Nevermind, i flashed the boot.img again (after all the other steps) and now it works.
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
Sorry about the lack of clarity. I took it as a "given" that users had already managed to get mm-beta on their device before writing those instructions. (and it was before a flashable zip was made)

Glad you got it working.
[Xperia Z3 General] kingsasha:
i tried this marshmallow rom , and I use arabic language and everything was fine...funny you had problems.

wait for someone to give you a fix or try to do a factory reset while on mm rom
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Glad you sorted it out.. For others and sake of clarity: THERE IS NOT ROOT unless you flash SuperSU BEFORE rebooting.

After you flash (fastboot) [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION] boot.img (kernel) you need to reboot into recovery. In recovery you have two options:

1. You have downloaded TWRP backup of MM Beta. The you RESTORE just system, do not restore kernel. If you restore kernel, you need to reflash boot.img in fastboot again. After restore, flash SuperSU.

2. You have downloaded the flashable ZIP. Then you need to INSTALL this zip. After install you need to flash SuperSU. Depending on if the flashable zip contains also kernel, you may need to reflash boot.img again in fastboot.

It is because the modified kernel (boot.img) have two major functions:

- it disables RIC

- it sets selinux permissive

therefore making rooted system bootable.
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
Actually, the recovery is not contained in the boot.img. (I tried but twrp didn't play nice. Had some inexplicable mounting issues)

Recovery needs to be flashed separately, and is dependant on having flashed a 264 LP ftf beforehand.

The only way to enter it is > turn off the device > press power + volume down > wait for vibration > release power button.
[Xperia Z3 General] Horgar:
Not reading your instructions properly. Followed what you said and now TB backs up fine. Thanks mate
[Xperia Z3 General] okij:
Bump. Anyone?
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Use ADB or install terminal and use tar or dd. Since recovery has built in ADB you can then restore tar or dd image to get working system and data.
[Xperia Z3 General] jordanvachon:
do you have to rename the zip files , i cant seem to be able to flash them , i got to hotboot on one of them by changing the name to boot.img , but im a little bit lost here .
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
In fastboot you flash ONLY kernel (img file). The zip files you need to flash in recovery..

Actually there is no need to rename it to boot.img because fastboot command uses filename as parameter... So:

1. Boot into fastboot mode

2. Flash the kernel (whatever .img you named it) "fastboot flash boot filename" = "fastboot flash boot boot.img" or "fastboot flash boot whatever.img"

3. Reboot in recovery

4. Flash supersu.zip (Using install)

5. Flash (if you want to) anything else you may need (xposed)

Reboot
[Xperia Z3 General] jordanvachon:
do i use the .img for the unlock bootloader for the locked one ? cause there is none for locked on the first post .

edit : tried with it and it failed (command not allowed ? ) so i guess not ?
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
For locked bootloader there is the first procedure. You can not use fastboot while on locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
Boot.img with embedded recovery for unlocked bootloader here if anyone would like to try it https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995302964

Just restart and press volume up when you see the amber led turn on to enter twrp.
[Xperia Z3 General] jordanvachon:
got it , reflash a 5.1 ftf , rooted installed twrp , then putt all the zip with the beta mm folowed by the other zip in the order presented here , seemed to have worked .
[Xperia Z3 General] Horgar:
Have to abandon mm as living without recovery is just too time consuming. But big thanks to [MENTION=6351145]ondrejvaroscak[/MENTION] who has been generous with his knowledge and time throughout this thread

Not yet... It takes some time to develop and because of it, it is better to wait for official MM. It would be pity for bro [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] to create recovery for Beta just to find out that final commercial release changed in way he has to start from scratch...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalamees1:
So last time I used my phone in the water camera started acting erratic, I decided to put phone away. Before going in the water flaps were closed well and flush. I also did pressure sensor test before and it seemed ok. Few hours later I find it hot and with empty battery.

I saw some humidity inside of usb port flap so I put in in bag of rice and let dry overnight. Now, it turns on and seems to work (except that camera doesn't open anymore) but it gets hot while charging and doesn't really charge (just few % in 30min). If I remove charger it turns off in few minutes so pretty much unusable.

I checked humidity markers - sim card one is white, usb side one also pretty much white, maybe if looking carefully you'll see hint of pink.

Still have warranty. Also I'm abroad halfway around the world and won't be back home before June (will still be under warranty at that time).

So my question - what's likely damaged? If humidity markers are white can warranty repair shop still refuse repairs saying it's water damaged?

I'm trying to decide - to take it to repair here and pay for cleaning and new battery and maybe something else to fix charging and also lose warranty or wait until I get home and take it to warranty repair and hope that they fix or replace it for free.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ¿GotJazz?:
I recently rooted my HD8 using KingRoot.

I reconfigured my HD8, and would like to backup my current installation as a working snapshot ('cause now that I'm rooted, it's only a matter of time before I bork something up!).

Is it possible to do a Nandroid backup (and, restore) of my current HD8 ROM?

Thanks,

[Honor 7 General] Demeth:
If, like me, you find your Honor 7's maximum volume still too low, here are the steps to increase it, and finally be able to fully hear your music in public. :)

First, you need a ROOTED HONOR 7 PLK-L01.

Then you need a file browser like Root browser or so.

You will also need a xml file editor like QuickEdit.​

1. Go to system>emui>base>prop

Open local.prop with QuickEdit.

Go to: ro.config.hw.security_volume=14

Change it to #ro.config.hw.security_volume=14

OR

ro.config.hw.security_volume=20 (it increases the maximum, it doesnt change the volume itselfs but prevents it to be locked by the security from Emui)

2. Go to system>hw_oem>Plank-L01>prop

Open local.prop

Same as before, change the value or add a # before the line.

Note that i'm not fully sure if this steps are mandatory but it will prevent a non working volume tweak occured because of the Emui's volume security.

3. Now go to system>etc>audio>hi6402

Open mixer_volumes_PLK_L01_ce.xml with QuickEdit.

Go to:

<path name="dup-media-fm-headset">

<ctl name= "S1 IL PGA GAIN" value="250" />

<ctl name= "S1 IR PGA GAIN" value="250" />

(QuickEdit has a search option on the top right corner)

And change the values to what you think is enough for you.

For me its 265, like this:

ctl name= "S1 IL PGA GAIN" value="265" />

And it should be it ! Don't forget that security volume is set to prevent auditive damages so please be careful with the values you set.

That's only for a headset, you need the change the value manually for the speaker too, with the same method.

If you have any questions or need help i'll gladly help.

Also if the steps 1 and 2 arent mandatory, i'd be happy to know.

EDIT:

Seems that you also need to change these values now (can't tell from which update this came from) for the tutorial to work:

@ Path name="media-headphone"

ctl name= "s1 IL PGA GAIN"

ctl name= s1 IR PGA GAN"
[Honor 7 General] magnea:
Cant find step 1 and 2 in system
[Honor 7 General] Raven78uk:
Thank you :)

Could You be so kind and give us step by step for speakers please?

Much obliged.
[Honor 7 General] rspn69:
For me existing volume is sufficient

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

What about u?:confused:
[Honor 7 General] Demeth:
Are you properly rooted? Check it with SuperSU.

What file browser do you have?
[Honor 7 General] Demeth:
That's the exact same method but you have to change <path name="dup-media-fm-speaker"> instead.

Tell me if you can't find it.
[Honor 7 General] Unillogical:
I have neither the EMUI or HWOEM folder under system on build B180. I do have the /etc. folder and relevant files. I'm using a root explorer and proper root.

Any suggestions?
[Honor 7 General] Raven78uk:
Neither do I
[Honor 7 General] Demeth:
Is changing the values working?
[Honor 7 General] magnea:
I think you must have MM b320
[Honor 7 General] Raven78uk:
Didn't had the chance to do it yet. Also seems that values You recommending are massively to big.

EDIT: Just took a peek inside file : mixer_volumes_PLK_L01_ce.xml and there is line for headphones You was writing about. But for speakers i just dont know which one to change as there is 'hundreds' similar with word 'speaker'.

Can You tell me exact line to change for higher volume of speaker ?
[Honor 7 General] Demeth:
I indeed run B320, don't know for the other versions yet.
[Honor 7 General] Demeth:
I have a root issue, i'll tell you what exact line as soon as i can have access to my folder again.
[Honor 7 General] Raven78uk:
Thank You, please let me know when You can.
[Honor 7 General] ultimoforci:
in the directory system, not exist folder "emui". :D
[Honor 7 General] t-ryder:
B330/Android 6.0

There is no simple value changing as in

<path name="dup-media-fm-headset" >
<ctl name="S1 IL PGA GAIN" value="265" />
<ctl name="S1 IR PGA GAIN" value="265" />
</path>

There is

<path name="dup-media-fm-speaker" >
<path name="media-speaker" />
</path>

So what or how to change?

And what does

<path name="dup-media-fm-headphone" >
<ctl name="S1 IL PGA GAIN" value="250" />
<ctl name="S1 IR PGA GAIN" value="250" />
</path>

do? I did not change those, just <path name="dup-media-fm-headset" > - do I need to edit those values too?

I really would like to push up the volume just a little bit for the main speakers.
[Honor 7 General] jnyfox:
Is this for bottom speaker? Since I cannot hear any difference on earpiece speaker at all.

Could someone save exampled mixer files to download? I think my files have some low values, because my earpiece is very low.
[Honor 7 General] t-ryder:
Method in OP is for headset/headphones for the 3,5mm jack.
[Honor 7 General] jnyfox:
Thanks for clarification. Then again, he speaks that can be done also for the loudspeaker? Maybe also for the earpiece?
[Honor 7 General] t-ryder:
I am sure that can be done, but maybe [MENTION=7279707]Demeth[/MENTION] will show us how exactly.

It is all there inside inside that file, but I don't know what and how to edit...
[Honor 7 General] Demeth:
Sorry for the delay, Well, for the speaker it's a couple lines beneath the line for the headset, i managed to change it myself, but i don't have my honor at the moment, I sent it back for repair because of an issue with my network provider.

I'll update the exact method on how to change the speaker's volume !
[Honor 7 General] Demeth:
Changing the values will change the volume, not changing the main line !
[Honor 7 General] t-ryder:
Well, I know that.

But I don't know what

<path name="dup-media-fm-headphone" >

stands for. The system makes a difference of the volume between headphone (for listening) and headset (with mic)?

And

<path name="dup-media-fm-speaker" >

is the main Speaker on the bottom of the device I guess, but it has no values...
[Honor 7 General] JPo_23:
Has anyone had any success with this on Marshmallow?

I'm running the 'Modaco Custom Rom' (B330 based), and followed the OP instructions exactly - all the files and values were where they should be, but I didn't notice any change in headphone volume, even after a reboot.

Any alternative approaches?
