Do you have your bootloader unlocked?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
What doriandiaconu said^^

Do you have an unlocked device?

What ROM are you using?

What were you using to flash, Twrp, flashtool?

Do you have root?

Which root?

Ermm do you have the supersu 2.76 handy?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] luizlee86:
Same here. Same configuration and got a softbrick.

The only thing I'm not 100% sure is the bootloader... when I was trying to flash twrp (fastboot) I was getting some error, I read in some thread that it could be a locked bootloader and although I've already unlocked it, I did it again and then was able to flash recovery.

I checked and now it is definetely unlocked but I'm afraid of flashing this kernel again and have to go through all the trouble to recover... lol

I treid to flash V2
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] alenbernardis:
I had to reflash this kernel a couple of times before success.

0. (If your phone is working fine skip to 1.) in twrp wipe system, cache, data. Install rom as normal (factory reset after), setup everything (accounts and apps)

1. make a nandroid backup of data only in twrp

2. install kernel

3. if successfull you are done

if not:

1. you are probably in a bootloop, turn off the phone

2. with flashtool, inject this kernel (extract and select boot.img)

3. now you can enter revovery

4. wipe system, data, cache

5. install rom, kernel, reboot to system

6. if everything is working, enter recovery and restore data only

7. done
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Tikalon:
So this kernel fixes the stuff bootloader unlock took away?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] luizlee86:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] alenbernardis:

Odd, well I used supersu full unroot which didn't seem to finish, rebooted into recovery installed the kernel and wiped dalvik/cache reboot and after optimizing the kernel is working without a bootloop and I have root. Works for me thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] xkvegans:
Inject the kernel with flashtool in flashtool mode or fastboot mode?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] alenbernardis:
Fastboot
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] alenbernardis:
Are you sure your bootloader in unlocked?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] xkvegans:
Sure,

I've checked on *#*#7378423#*#* >> Service info >> Configuration >> Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] tomascus:
The message says your bootloader

CAN

be unlocked, but not necessarily unlocked already :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ggogolewski:
Hello, im my opinion this does not mean that it is unlocked.

"Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes" means that you can unlock it. For example Z3C from Orange (Poland) is not possible to unlock. And in service info is "Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No"
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] xkvegans:
Oh ... wow ...

OH, it seems I've been misunderstood

Then how to unlock bootloader? (sorry if I'm asking here)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ggogolewski:
I know two ways:

1. http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/

2. http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/one-bootloader-unlock-flash-firmware-t2905047

Please read caution in thread about unlock bootloader: when the bootloader is unlocked, the device loses certain DRM security keys.

Backup your DRM keys first before proceeding...

I have trouble getting any settings (thermal, governor, etc) to stick after boot ("apply on boot" enabled). Kernel Adiutor mod seems doesn't have the same issue as the settings are correct on boot.

Although, VDD does auto shutoff when IntelliThermal is enabled in all cases. Which of the two is preferred for daily operation?

Have you played with "Power suspend state/mode" at all? It claims if it's set to userspace there are better battery saving, but I have no idea what 1-2 slider does. Thoughts?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] luizlee86:
I think it was the bootloader... I flashed the kernel and everything went as expected. Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] gr8st:
Thanks [MENTION=5900960]ShadowElite[/MENTION] for the great work.

I have to say though I'm not sure how well this drm issue is fixed. If you check the service menu under security, the relevant keys still throw errors under status. Is that how it's suppose to be?

The camera while it shows the low light settings (which I believe is tied to drm) doesn't seem as adaptive as before. Then again I am demoing v4 of cyberian cam so maybe that has something to do with it as well. Thanks again
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Works 100%

Depending on your ROM, you must also install back x-reality, bionz etc. (imageenhancer.apk etc.)

To test DRM, go to a dark room, (there must be at least some very slight light source), then take a photo without flash, the photo should be full of light.

Also, go to settings/display/image enhancement/ and choose super-vivid mode, look at a photo with a large red object, and you should see X-reality working before your eyes...

If you are still not getting the full DRM experience as above, the kernel is using DRM injection, sometimes to work fully, requires a Factory reset via twrp, followed immediately by flashing this kernel, after that, it should be working fine...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
I'm in a telegram group full of developers, I put that same question to them, not many were online, I asked for battery saving setting, and sent a screenshot, and I got an emphatic "Use 'Core Control' without VDD", now this is just an opinion, but that dude knows more than me.

ShadowElite knows his stuff, the defaults are all set on the best settings...

The kernel is in other words perfect!

I only adjusted my read-ahead settings for the size of my sdcard.

[MENTION=6905152]Robot76[/MENTION] this kernel has enabled RIC Defeat or it's neccesary to flash RICDefeat.zip?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] :
Did you managed to get past the vdd glitch?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Not yet, not sure if it's the kernel or the Kernel Adiutor's readings, Kernel Adiutor, since the new gui and stuff, has had a few glitches, it was misreporting the read-ahead values a couple of versions ago since the changes...

I can see an new update of Kernel Adiutor on the Play store, the last few updates have really improved Kernel Adiutors glitches and stuff, we will see if the same behaviour happens...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ShadowElite:
Let me explain about VDD restriction, it restricts the voltage of the CPU steps for avoid heat... But in MSM8974 (Snapdragon 800/1) I noticed that it don't work like that.

So for what is it on the kernel? Lets read the documentation, and it has 2 values:

And it has this values:

qcom,vdd-restriction-temp = <5>;

qcom,vdd-restriction-temp-hysteresis = <10>;

Try to keep it disabled, just enable IntelliThermal v2 disable core control if you want and ready.

So as you can see the purpose of this feature (I think), is avoid bad cool temps for CPU, but I'm not sure, if someone can explain it better...

maybe drm injection doesn't work because after flash your kernel I forgot to format data, indeed when I've flashed drm fix after I've format data!!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Lol, I was just going to write that...

Hahaha, DRM Restoration thread is full of that...

I have stopped using DRM Restoration fix, since the kernel, after dirty rom flashes, Restoration fix is needed to be flashed again, but with this kernel, I don't flash drm fix again, but DRM survives, the kernel's injection does indeed work...

Yes, seems crazy, but Factory Reset is compulsory for at least once, DRM flashed (image), and then only DRM works...

No factory reset, only lowlight will not work, but x-reality will work, hahaha (that's was me, not believing the DRM fix for about a whole year, do I feel dumb)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] :
I'm lost xD
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] gr8st:
For what it's worth, I didn't do factory reset after kernal and low light mode works. You should see a little candle in the bottom right of the screen. My procedure (also upgraded to slimm 3.1) wipe all partitions > Flash slimm 3.1 > boot and factory reset (possibly unnecessary?) > boot again to go through initial setup only > boot to recovery flash kernal

It just seems to take longer to go in to low light mode, but it might have something to do with cyberian cam IV.

Anyone know how to disable the thermal check that shuts off the camera? I tried toggling the option in aduitor under thermal, but after a few minutes camera will auto close. It even has a popup saying to "let cam cool down", but it's not even hot.

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

So, I thought I'd help get to the bottom of this and restore my TA partition (with original drm keys). Restore was successful, but after reboot the device is soft bricked. I mean no logo, led doesn't come, no charging, nothing but a black screen when attempting to turn on.

Luckily flashtool still allows me to get into fastboot, so what should I do? Just reflash the boot.img for kernal and hope for the best? I know my BL is re-locked, but is my system/data partition ok?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
I just did tests... [MENTION=752778]gr8st[/MENTION], My fuschia colours were in fact from Cyberian Camera too.

I flashed dirty the SLiMM 3.0, Cleared data in Camera App, and now have low light, functioning as it should do...

[MENTION=5900960]ShadowElite[/MENTION]

Results: DRM successful, 100% working

DRM injection = DRM function restore zip

*Cyberian Camera is not working, flash ROM dirty, and clear Camera data

[MENTION=5746995]doriandiaconu[/MENTION] [MENTION=5527402]Michele2[/MENTION] It's true, if you are not getting lowlight, you unfortunately have to bite the bullet and do a horrible TWRP Factory Reset and immediately flash this kernel...

Flash SLiMM > TWRP Factory Reset > Flash Kernel

After this, when flashing in the future, you will not need to factory reset again... Should stick, just make sure everytime you flash ROM, you include either this kernel or the DRM Restoration zip.

Lol I tried another route and restored my TA partition (original keys) to see to if it would make a substantial difference, but now I'm soft bricked. It restored fine, but I've reboot to full black screen (no logo/charging led). What do you recommend I do? Just reflash boot.img from .zip? Flashtool allows me into fastboot mode. Thanks

[MENTION=5900960]ShadowElite[/MENTION] perhaps it's best to put in OP to not restore TA partition with this kernal as it resulted in soft brick for me
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Yes! That's all I do with brick... Hahaha

That should work, as we can enter Twrp, and start flashing stuff again in resurrection...

Hard brick is worse, it happened to me once, and finally got to flash ftf after 20 attempts

Re-unlocking BL has got me back in and everthing is where I left it, didin't even have to flash boot.img. I guess restore TA relocked it and the kernal didn't like that. Now how would I restore TA if I ever wanted to? Just reflash slimm with stock kernal? :highfive:

[MENTION=6905152]Robot76[/MENTION] you would have me flash ftf stock rom, root, re-install recovery, re-flash slimm/kernal and re-configure to save a few comments? :crying: :eek:

For now, low light works well enough so I can't care to pursue DRM issues further. Just need to figure out how to get past thermal check on cam so it stops closing after few minutes. Thoughts guys? Maybe some aduitor settings I'm missing?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Hahaha

I have 0 knowledge with TA, when I unlocked, there was not yet a DRM backup, or even a warning about Unlocking from Sony's unlocking Webpage...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ShadowElite:
If you flash the TA partition backup, the bootloader is relocked and if it is locked you can't flash the kernel...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] gr8st:
Fair enough. So now you're on Slimm 3.0 with elite kernal, what differences do you notice with respect to low light issues? Does the preview (prior to taking pic) fill with light or only the resulting saved image?

After more testing, I"m pretty sure cyberian IV changed the threshold for switching to low light mode so it just had to get darker. This kernal does indeed fix DRM with unlocked BL.

I was expecting for the BL to relock upon TA partition restore, but not expecting it soft brick the device. How are you meant to restore TA then? Reflash with slimm/stock kernal and restore it then? Thanks again for your work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
If you want to restore TA in order to get back stock DRM support you must be on stock kernel before...

TA backup with any custom kernel will softbrick your device everytime.

As far as I know it's recommended to flash stock kernel with flashtool also. Not only via zip even it has stock kernel included.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Yes, I did notice that behaviour.

Under DRM Function Restore zip, the low light came with the camera, prior to the photo, but with the DRM injection, the low light came after the camera, result is equal.

I want to experiment and test more, to understand what's going on.

This highly valued optimized kernel with incredible prized features, the perfect optimized SLiMM, the speed and battery savings is phenomenal, it's like we are using an entirely different device... I can hardly call it a Z3C, my antutu speed of 64152, is double what's normal...

What you had was 0% DRM, your photo was a photo of blackness and a fluorescent light, could not see anything in that room...

So on desktop computers this is easy, just open up browser set up your proxy servers and done.

The only settings I can see that set up proxies on the kaiser are for GRPS/Dial-up/3G. But that's already set by my cell provider and it doesn't require a proxy (to my knowledge)

But I'd like to be able to access my home proxy when I'm using wi-fi (at home or away from home) I just can't find a way to set it in the system.

If anyone knows please let me know.
