Well apparently there is a way to flash a recovery using Flashtool, I can't tell you how though. Other than that you can always flash a .575 (MM) ftf via Flashtool and then re-root and re-install recovery as described here. But of course if you flash a ftf all personal data (except for the SD card) will be gone, so hopefully you have some kind of backup.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Craphead:
You can still install it via adb shell or Terminal Emulator?? That way is also described on the website. Do NOT unlock your BL without saving your DRM keys first and for that you will need a working recovery first! (you probably knew that, just to make sure...)

So as there's no OTA 2.5->3.x is there any way to upgrade from Slimm 2.5 to 3.1 without losing apps, app data, settings and all of such stuff? Or am i forced to install and configure everything again?

Hi, awesome ROM. Now I'm in need of an OTA update, but it seems like something went wrong during the upload to AFH, and only 31MB of the 390 got there. So I'm also in need of the 3.0 OTA link until the newest OTA gets fixed!

Thank you
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] henriluiz:
The OTA package of 3.1 is composed only by a 'Bluetooth fix' and a settings apk.

All those that are waiting for a small OTA package to jump from 2.x to 3.0, don't wait because it will never exist. 3.0 doesn't have an OTA Package, because the base rom was changed to 291.

Backup your data on TWRP to SD card, flash the 3.0 package, after flash the 3.1 OTA, do a factory reset and after you can flash your mods.

You can try to skip the factory reset and try to clean the system with SD Maid. Always make sure that your data are backed up.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] bvhoesel:
Card is 'normal' SD-card, no internal data. Cleared data and permissions of both apps. Nothing helped.

Due to some other setting I tried to open SuperSU. I did not find the app, even after install from zip. Did a new install from Play store, ét voila, both file managers were asking for root rights when accessing / and sub dirs.

Your hint about SuperSU was correct. Only the unexpected incomplete install messed it up.

Thanks for your time for helping.

Elite v3
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Anyone Unlocking their bootloaders, MUST backup your DRM keys first.

If you didn't nevermind.

Yes, EliteKernelV3 is an excellent alternative to the DRM Restoration zip. This is flashed after flashing SLiMM, then it's good practice after flashing any kernel to also supersu afterwards. Then do not wipe anything afterwards. If you need factory reset, do it immediately after flashing SLiMM, then flashing EliteKernelV3.

Search the thread for the imageenhancer.apk and place it in /system/priv-app/ if you want x-reality back.

If for some rare reason your DRM fix from the EliteKernelV3 does not work, then you will definitely need a factory reset via twrp then immediately flashing EliteKernelV3...

**EliteKernelV3 includes the famous DRM Restoration fix, so only this is needed.

***any weird issues, sometimes disappear after a few reboots, and one can use Sd Maid app to clean up apps mess left behind.

after flashing the SLiMM 3.1 rom, my phone doesn't vibrate anymore.

when restarting it, it is vibrating once as usual, but once the system is started, it doesn't vibrate anywhere (also tested in service menu)

anyone experiencing the same issue? thank you!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jcatfour:
Okay, so, I should flash my phone with a version older than marshmallow (let's say stock lollipop), flash EliteKernelV2 onto it which should give me TWRP,and from there I need to flash supersu for root (I need root to flash this, right?), and then I should be able to successfully flash slimm? Then after flashing slimm, I need to flash Elitekernelv2 again? Do I reboot after flashing slimm before flashing EliteKernelV2, or do I just flash slimm and then immediately flash EliteKernel? Also, why do I need to flash supersu after slimm? Doesn't slimm contain root by default? Is it because flashing the kernel got rid of root since android root is now a more of a kernel thing?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
So settings/sounds and notifications/others/ vibration on touch, is not working for you either?

This is weird, pretty amazing you could make vibration disappear [emoji23]

Use Kernel Adiutor app, and go to Misc tab, and use the vibration settings, do you notice a vibration as you move the setting along?

The funny thing is that almost everything has root and Twrp, my flashing routine installs Twrp and root about three times each [emoji23]

Yes, flash kernel again and then supersu again.

It is true SLiMM has root, but an older version for the benefit of SLiMM installation, which you update via play store or flash supersu latest.

Your case is special, as you don't yet have a working recovery, so you must flash the kernel before and after SLiMM. (As you are making a shortcut to Twrp via that kernel) orange light, volume up to recovery

You can also flash the kernel via flashtool, by taking out of the zip, boot.img, and flashboot method, doomlord kernel flash, change the file extension to search for *.img in the window

It's just recommended practice to flash supersu after flashing a kernel, to prevent any issues...

And never wipe anything after flashing Packages...

Wiping dalvik/cache at the end is bad practice (chainfire)

Many packages these days write to cache...

Factory reset if needed, is done immediately after Rom and not before.

Most roms like SLiMM, wipe system automatically before install anyways...

**It is a good idea after installing SLiMM, do not flash anything else yet, boot to system, go through the very long Application Optimizations, Reboot to recovery, backup system using Twrp, then whenever you need to reinstall SliMM, or add and change packages, you just need to restore system, and you will not have the long Application Optimizations wait...

*I am a noob

A.R.I.S.E.Numbers™ Z3C SLiMM3 EliteKernelV3 SU2.76 Xf86 Nova Substratum
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jcatfour:
Weird, I thought you were typically supposed to wipe the cache before flashing a kernel through recovery?

So, you flash slim and then IMMEDIATELY flash the kernel, right? You don't flash slimm, reboot into recovery (again), and then flash the kernel?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
No, I don't reboot... I used to though, but I've lost the habit.

I'm not an expert, but with my limited experience, I don't reboot, and its been fine, no issues, working as promised.

Twrp kernel, Androplus Kernel, Advanced Stock Kernel and now EliteKernel kernel [emoji23] in Kernel Adiutor, all is working...

All flashed after Slim's, no wipe cache, no reboot...

Wiping cache before wiping a kernel?, haven't read it in any OP, but sounds good and legit, but I have never done this, interesting...

I'm very comfortable with flashing these days, as was testing all the Arise sound system versions, and was doing a flashathon about 20 times a day, but that projects masterpiece is pretty automated now, and not needing the ROM re-flashes as before...

That project taught me to backup a fresh rebooted system, as who would want to wait through Application Optimizations all day [emoji23]

Wiping is pretty not needed either these days...

In the rare event an OTA makes weird use, I pretty much use an app like SD Maid to wipe app cache, and that pretty much solves any issues...

I haven't wiped cache/dalvik since lollipop, except for DRM Restoration once...

Hello,

first and foremost thank you so much [MENTION=448664]Wajk[/MENTION] for all the work, version 3.1 solved almost all the issues I had with 2.x and is lightning fast!!

One annoying issue remains though, I've been experiencing it since I upgraded to Android 6.x Marshmallow : My Wifi turns off during sleep, even when the phone's charging even when in Wifi settings I have "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep : Always".

It seems to be a widespread problem with MM and people seems to be experiencing this with many phones from many different brands, this would point to Google's Android basecode and many suspect the Doze function.

Sony claims to have solved the issues in its latest firmware releases, but I'm still having the problem as do many others : https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...-while-phone-is-in-sleep/td-p/1055589/page/16

Nexus phone users seem to have been able to solve the issue by disabling battery optimisation for Google Connectivity Services (an app which is not in Sony's firmwares) : https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/3yaj3o/on_marshmallow_my_wifi_turns_off_during_sleep/

This is only for unlocked bootloaders.

If you have an unlocked bootloader;

Simply enter recovery mode and flash EliteKernelV3 zip, reboot...

Or if you are having problems entering recovery, install Flashfire from the Play Store, and use it to flash EliteKernelV3 zip, the phone will reboot, done...

After successfully flashing EliteKernel, to enter recovery in the future, simply use volume up at the orange light at start...
