What Z3 model do you have?

If it's D6603 you can flash this via twrp
[Xperia Z3 General] Andreas62642:
So i'm on androi 7.1.2 LineageOS but i hate this version and want back to 6.0.1 so if i install your firmware will it be back on 6.0.1 or what???
[Xperia Z3 General] Dobsgw:
No.

You need to flash a full ROM with flashtool or Emma.

This is because of the use of misc apps partition with Nougat ROMs so you need to have the option to wipe this which TWRP doesn't have.

So you'll have to use flashtool and check the "wipe misc apps" or just wipe everything when you flash.
[Xperia Z3 General] Andreas62642:
Can't just wipe all with Twrp and then Flash it???
[Xperia Z3 General] Dobsgw:
I literally just told you why you can't do that.

Flashtool.

Hi,

I have problem with Camera:

back - dosn't work only black screen

front - normal screen but after shot freez

where is the problem ?
[Xperia Z3 General] nizar uchiha:
how to solve this?
[Xperia Z3 General] fcallum77:
If you bootloop after installation...

SORRY FOR THE SHOUTY POST BUT IF YOUR PHONE GETS STUCK ON THE PURPLE WAVES FOR ETERNITY AFTER BOOTING, DO THIS:

PLEASE REMOVE THE SPACES IN MY URLS. THEY ARE THERE BECAUSE I AM A NEW USER.

Step 1: Power off your phone.

Step 2: Download this file onto your computer DON'T RENAME IT!!!: ht tps://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297395

Step 3: Make sure you have adb and fastboot drivers installed, you can get them here if you need: ht tp://www14.zippyshare.com/v/ufYG71o0/file.html

Step 4: Plug a Micro USB cable into your computer and NOT into your phone

Step 5: Hold volume up on your phone whilst plugging the other end of the USB cable into your phone. A red light should flash, followed by a blue light.

Step 6: On your computer, go to the folder where the 1st file downloaded and hold shift and right click. Click "Open command window here"

Step 7: Right click in the command prompt that pops up and paste this: fastboot flash boot "mm-beta_permissive_no-RIC.img"

Step 8: Copy the whole string, including the speech marks.

Step 9: Hit enter. It should say something like "loading boot", "sending boot", "success". If you get something along those lines, it's done. Remove the cable, reboot your phone and you should boot normally now. Hope this helps some people.
[Xperia Z3 General] Dobsgw:
This is great but this will only work for those with unlocked boot loaders since it uses fastboot.

However if you are unlocked and need this fix then it may help you.

I cannot verify the origins of the boot.img though so I would approach with caution.

Generally fixes for bootloops on ROMs like this are to wipe data, cache and dalvik from recovery.

Or reflash the entire ftf with flashtool and then rereoot the ROM and flash deodexed again.
[Xperia Z3 General] RintSo:
i cant download the rom, mediafire said:

Dangerous File Blocked

The file you attempted to download was determined to be dangerous. For your protection, MediaFire does not enable distribution of dangerous files.
[Xperia Z3 General] Dobsgw:
Lmao

Someone probably reported it.

Or old SuperSUs are flagging up. Or Sony antics.

I dont have it anymore so unless someone hosts it for you it is lost forever :(
[Xperia Z3 General] RintSo:
well, thank for explanation

maybe another z3 user can share the rom with me. i must be grateful for that ;) :o
[Xperia Z3 General] Dobsgw:
so to update on this:

Mediafire is flagging up the Deodexed ROM as a virus, along with some old (but not all) versions of my Fragment ROM.

The link to "fix" this takes me to the bitdefender website and tries to make me purchase bitdefender to "remove the viruses from my PC".

Mediafire is essentially running a racket to get money from subscriptions. The zip was always and still is fine lol

So if someone does host it please don't use mediafire. I'm also removing everything from mediafire as it should all be on AFH now so they don't get any support from ad revenue (idk if anyone is still using my links but whatever)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tavados:
Hi there. So, I had a rooted device running Android 5.1, which I wanted to update to 6.0.1.

I had the device softbricked for a while and I could only fix it by flashing it with new partitioning.

So now, I have an internal storage which appears to be empty (in windows explorer) but of course there are still tons of old data on that drive.

I realised, that my backup does not contain certain data which I would have liked to keep.

I hope, that I can recover some files using Recuva. For that I need a full mirror/copy of my internal storage.

How can I do that? At the moment I don't have root, but I could root it, if needed. I think that could possibly override more old data though.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tavados:
Doesnt seem to be an ideal solution, but I just rooted the phone with 6.0.1, installed busybox to add linux tools like netcat and installed a terminal to copy a full image of the userpartition to my desktop.

I can run Recuva on that image then.

Excellent Read/Write speeds for the EVO+

Might as well, since it's valued at $300.00..... I popped my 256GB in today. Now I won't feel bad recording 4K video...... let's see where this goes. Never had so much storage.

And for those wondering, write speeds for the Samsung 256 GB EVO+ (card in promotion) for 4K/UHD recording is perfectly fine. Haven't made anything too long yet, but a couple minutes here and there and it writes straight to SD without any problems (I'd have to research the mbps conversion for UHD fps, for any real data). Read speed is phenomenal, so you won't notice any real difference if you're storing Media internally or externally (on SD).

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Yes as simple as that.

I hardly see how a typo in the above commands could brick his phone... It's not like it was some dangerous "dd" commands or like he was flashing each image separately like in the link youv posted.

The worst that could happens if a typo is made in these commands is fastboot displaying the help message or throwing the "can not load" error if the typo is in a filename.

I agree everyone must be careful with s-off, but a typo here can't do anything bad, he would have to write something completely different to brick, not just a single typo.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kruc Ire:
ok well as the article states the writer of the article mistakenly flubbed the h into his boot typing, which rendered another meaning. h is close to b on a keyboard. maybe not every typo but according to the writer of the article, that one.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Don't get me wrong, you were right saying to be careful with s-off :good: There are a lot of dangerous fastboot and even adb commands when s-off and yes some of them could have some catastrophic results if a typo is made. "dd if=/something of=/something/else" is a good example, or that one with "fastboot flash hboot" instead of "fastboot flash boot" but nothing to be afraid with the above commands.

[General Questions and Answers] bandario:
Morning all,

I have recently received my CAT S60 and I have to say, I am extremely pleased with the device out of the box. It is solid, extremely well built, battery life is amazing and camera quality is far better than the reviews led me to believe. Call quality is also the best I have ever had on any handset.

Unfortunately, I have never before owned a device without root. I have rooted most of my phones + installed a custom rom within a couple of days of opening the box. Sadly, this time round I've bought a less-popular device which is quite new and there is no existing support.

I am able to do most of the root-requiring functions with this phone (flashlight via button from locked, skip tracks with volume etc) using software workarounds, but I am already butting up against things that are pissing me off because I don't have system access, and I am so used to having it.

I've read horror stories about the lockdown function Qualcomm have applied to the 617 chips, but I now see that some phones with this chip have already been rooted (Motorola) so I am wondering, what are the chances that I will see root or a root exploit for this phone in the near future?

I'm not sure that I would sell the device over not being able to gain root, but it is really really annoying me.
[General Questions and Answers] heinzherbert:
I would be interested too. I couldnt even figure out how to set the s60 to downloadmode (If there is such a mode at all) to flash a custom recovery like twrp. Recoverymode is the usual volume up before poweron.
[General Questions and Answers] Chuggers:
Recovery mode is volume up and power button together for 3 to 4 seconds
[General Questions and Answers] bandario:
There is a switch in developer options to allow bootloader to be unlocked. Maybe this, combined with factory recovery menu will set us free? Flash a modified factory rom with root enabled? The stock ROM is very clean.
[General Questions and Answers] Chuggers:
There is an option to unlock bootloader. It's called OEM unlocking
[General Questions and Answers] bandario:
So, flicking this switch should unlock the bootloader???

That gives me a bit of hope for some development on this handset. None of the previous cat phones have seen any real development.
[General Questions and Answers] Chuggers:
To be honest flicking that switch does nothing for me. I am unsure how to unlock the bootloader
[General Questions and Answers] fnerf:

[General Questions and Answers] pj2288:
I tried contacting support about help to root, got the above back. It's a work phone so maybe it's better that I don't mess with it.

If anyone is going to root or make a custom recovery, it'll need to be without any support from the manufacturer. I mostly miss Xposed Framework for adblocking, less frequent notifications and the ability to longpress the back key to enable/disable screen rotation, the ROM itself is 99% "stock" otherwise and I have no complaints on that front.
