Get yourself another variant. The D6616 has a permanently locked bootloader. Flashing AOSP/CM-based ROMs is not possible.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadjibnet:
First, Thanks for you repay :)

My D6616 bootloader can be unlocked.

So, flashing AOSP/CM-based ROMs will be possible ?

Let you show the picture:

Hello.

I'm in the same case (D6616 with unlockable bootloader) & I wanna know if there is any issue to install custom ROM. Did you successfully installed any other ROM on it ? or mayebe Rooted it? let me know please.

I too have the tmobile z3 d6616, being used in the UK on ee......I wanted 32gb storage and only this model seems to have it out of the factory. Purchased via eBay from a seller in Hong Kong, fully expected it to be a used/fake phone but no, brand new genuine item complete with all the tmobile bloatware. Acording to the specs I can't get 4g in the UK as it has the wrong lte bands (3g is no problem and sufficient for me) though when I use mobile data it does say 4g on the screen.....anyway I digress, I too have 'unlock bootloader - yes' on my phone when you enter the service menu. Despite flashing roms/rooting/flashing different kernels on my old note 3/4 I am unable to take advantage of this feature as my developer skills are next to zero!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odunke01:
I also have this version of D6616.

I unlocked the bootloader and have tried various roms and other mods without much luck.

I wonder what the difference is in the devices (apart from the baseband) that stops us from flashing stock d6603 roms too it.

Maybe some devs can identify where we/I am going wrong
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kansasboy001:
If someone who knows how to use adb could pull the partition layout and upload it in a Google Doc and link it or pm to me I could take a look at it. I think that the partition layout is different and that's why other roms or ftf will not work. You can run this command in adb shell

ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

Comparing it to http://xdaforums.com/z3/general/dev-d6603-stock-partition-table-t3288687

I can see no difference except for the extra 3 partitions on the end. (that is if the order doesnt matter only the numbers on the end of the partitions, if it does, then that could be our problem)

Btw, I relocked my bootloader before doing this, would that be a problem? (i dont think it would be)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a2zonlyt:
I have the same model D6616 , would you please tell me how you unlocked your bootloader and which custom rom you preffer to install in it?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakesusa:
D6616

You can unlock boot loader but then you have just unstable custom MIUI V7 miui_Z3_liupan_6.6.17_4.4rom with no camera and Jaguar_Leo_December 14. rom a bit unstable.

So, after so many tries and soft-bricks ( once I had to press reset button for 120 sec with power wire +5 -5 V directly on magnetic pins ), I will stay with STOCK KK rom.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadmonds:
Hello! I have a D6616 and I successfully unlocked the bootloader, I successfully installed TWRP 3.0.2; Now the phone and my windows pc believe it is a Sony Xperia Z2. I love playing with Android and Sony products, don't you?

I tried the flashtool from XDA but no luck;

1. on the Z3 I press & hold "volume down" and plug in the USB cable,

2. the phone starts in "flash" mode, the XDA flashtool will recognize the phone,

3. I d/l-ed the appropriate .ftf file for the D6616, I attempt to flash the .ftf file,

4. the phone will reboot (idk why) and enter a boot loop until I manage to repeatedly press "volume up" and "volume down" and TWRP comes up.

I'm stuck, anyone at all that can help me out...please lend me any useful advice!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1dest3pnate:
Could you please let us know how you unlocked the bootloader?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadmonds:
I used the official Sony Developer code to unlock, went through the whole process. I checked the phone before I used the code to make certain its bootloader was unlockable, and it was.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakesusa:
Believe me, the best way for you is D6616_23.1.C.0.399_T-Mobile_US.ftf or D6616_23.0.D.1.123_T-Mobile_US.ftf and do it with flash tool.

No more experimenting since all has been tried and was just the waste of it.

You can root the phone later with king-root or similar and get rid of some unneeded apps but that is it.

Cheers
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadmonds:
I agree 100%! My problem is the computer and the phone both believe the phone is a Z2, so, the flash tool won't install the Z3 software on the phone, and the phone goes into a reboot cycle.

I will try uninstalling the software from my PC and reinstalling it (I presume that will not help me but anything is with a try!) and maybe I'll find some miracle flashable bootloader online that will help my phone understand that it's a Z3, enabling the use of the .ftf file.

I've never bought a carrier branded phone before and one important lesson I've learned is, never buy a carrier branded phone.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arikdahn:
You said there was working root. My bootloader is locked, and I don't mind the xperia rom at all. Is there a current root method? I need xposed and adblock direly.

These things change so often it's hard to keep track. Does anybody know what the latest and greatest root method for 23.1.C.0.385?

I would be incredibly appreciative of any help.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadmonds:
The .ftf file worked wonderfully and the flash tool worked wonderfully...on a Mac. I used a four year old MacBook Air with MacOS Sierra. Now I'm back with a working Z3 that thinks it is a Z3. Thanks for all the suggestions! My future suggestion is: if something isn't working, try the same approach on a different OS. Ha.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arikdahn:
Do not use Kingroot on the D6616. It is permanent on these phones. Use ZX dualrecovery to install TWRP then flash superSU (received confirmation this works from another user). Repeat do NOT use KINGROOT. If you install it, it will not uninstall, puts tons of bloat on your device and communicates w/ china during install. Afterward if you attempt to factory reset your phone with it installed, it bootloops. I am not even sure its root is authentic anyway. None of the root apps I used did diddly. I think it fakes granting root permissions to apps or something.

No matter how you look at it, it's bad news and not good for anyone ever. I have to risk bricking my phone w/ Flashtool now just to get the stock ROM on it so I can root it the right way.

[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefpspower:
Hello,

I'm a new guy to the forums here, at least posting...

My Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo is having huge problems with battery, for example, today I used the phone just in the morning for about 15-20mins and 1h ago, with the phone sitting unused here, it was giving me a 7% battery warning, I went to see it and it looked like this:

[IMG="Battery drain"]https://i.gyazo.com/f9b399c11e5b3bee341d65fa380e0d00.png[/IMG]

NOTE: The wifi was off all along, you can see the phone is on mobile data (really turned off, not just disconnected).

This has been happening for about a month now, the phone is just 1 year old, the battery has no bulge at all, I have uninstalled alot of apps that I don't use in hopes of fixing this and nothing... Even using the Eco mode of the phone that downclocks the processor, its not enough.

Does anyone have any idea of what may be happening?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiElena:
The

first thing then for you to do would be to check if any apps are

misbehaving and consuming more battery than they should. Depending on

the app and its utility, you should be able to figure it out easily. If

you think any app is consuming more battery, you can report the issue to

the developer and find an alternative in the meantime.

Here are some tips, how it works for you : http://www.syncios.com/android/how-to-improve-android-battery-life.html
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adwait_bhope:
Hi,

Yes, misbehavior of apps could certainly be a reason. If uninstalling apps doesn't work, try a factory reset. Remember to backup all your important data first though.

P.S. Reflash your device using NAND erase all and EFS clear in Odin (I flashed with these more than 20 times and my phone works PERFECT!) I mean clean flashing with wiping all data on the phone. Now my battery is not draining in airplane mode but still have the buggy indicator. Custom roms like Cyanogenmod12.1 are cool but have some bugs, I'm with the stock rom now

I was very sad that even waiting 2 weeks i couldn't get the unlock code from huawai website.

Thanks to [MENTION=4210629]inside!out[/MENTION] for helping me with the following way to get the bootloader fast unlocked:

There is a small software called dc-unlock: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/

With dc-unlock there is no need to wait two weeks (or more?!)

Just download dc-unlock software and purchase 4 points for unlocking bootloader instantly on the website. ( There are a lot ways to purchase - don't worry)

Install HiSuite on PC and connect phone with pc.

In phone software you need to enable debugging and then in dialer

- dial *#*#2846579#*#*

- background settings

- usb port settings

- choose manufacture mode

Then in dc-unlock software choose huawei phones and auto detect.

Now search device, if found enter on right side under server settings the username and password you get per email when purchasing 4 points from dc-unlock website.

Then in unlocking on right side DON'T choose unlock phone! Choose "read bootloader"!

That's the code you need for Multi-Tool to unlock successful.

Good luck!

Normally when I post reviews on XDA Developers, I rewrite them to be more for this audience. However, when I'm reviewing SD Cards, pretty much only the facts are interesting, so I've just gone verbatim here since I think it's to the point.

I picked up this MicroSD card (more specifically, MicroSDXC) and promptly ran some tests with it, you can see them in the video, but here are some key facts:

* On a USB3.0 reader I was getting 78.64 MB/S read and 18.45 MB/S write for Sequential writes using a 100MiB test file. The card is actually exceeding its own claims here

* The same test on the USB3.0 reader with a 1GiB test file gave 77.81 MB/S read and 19.92 MB/S write for Sequential writes.

* On a USB2.0 reader I was getting 22.02 MB/S read and 10.70 MB/S write for Sequential writes using a 100MiB test file. The lower speed is to be expected due to a USB2.0 reader.

* It arrived formatted as exFAT

* It worked just fine in the LG G4. 117gb formatted capacity shown.

Included was a microSD to full size SD adapter which worked just fine in my laptop for the USB2.0 test.

Conclusion

So there you go, I like the Silicon Power 128gb microSD card and it's working just fine in my LG G4. Simple conclusion I know, but I think the best I can do here is not beat around the bush.

Notes

The tested model number was SP128GBSTXBU1V20SP
