On another interesting note, I´ve downloaded the one in xperifirm, when it finishes, flashtool created the FTF file without errors but when I went into the flashmode, it cannot see it.......it is no there, even the file is in the C:\Users\alxtorrentazos\.flashTool\firmwares folder.........maybe something is wrong with it........so, now more than ever, I need another official 291 ROM

EDIT: Ok, dont know if I did this correctly but I opened Flashtool, went to Tools, Bundles, FILESET Drecrypt and selected the folder were Xperia Companion downloaded the official latest MM 291 ROM to update the phone yesterday and created a FTF file with EVERYTHING included (read somewhere the simlock.ta shouldnt but just to be sure , i added it as well) and when it asked me if I wanted to include an .fsc script I also said YES. Question for you sir........now that I have this, in the case something goes wrong and Xperia Companion says it cannot restore the system bc it is modified, etc, can I just flash this FTF with Flashtool? Should I flash just the kernel and/or the fotakernel too? (sorry to ask, but I dont have a clue about what fotakernel is) or the ENTIRE FTF (without excluding anything)?

Does this Recovery support for USB OTG? The current TWRP 3.0.2-0 i have installed can't seem to load any flash drives via USB OTG. Thanks!

I see the ZIP file for download is D6603-6653_23.5.A. 0 .291 but the firmware I found is D6603-6653_23.5.A. 1 .291

Is this a typo or there is a real D6603-6653_23.5.A. 0 .291 firmware?

I'm just not having any joy.

I have a Z3 D6603, LB stock mm 575 so this should be a breeze, all I need to do is download the one file, unpack and run the *bat file...

but all I get is...

*daemon started successfully* (so Adb is working OK?)

Device detected (so drivers are working OK?)

Installing...

then 9 files get pushed to the phone as expected...

then Error: Device not supported

Finished

Rebooting to TWRP but it doesn't! Just reboots as if nothing has happened.

I've run rmdir to clean out the tmp folders created before retrying, I've made sure I have Sony Companion working to ensure I have the right drivers.

I hate not being rooted, I hate adverts!

Any other ideas?

Ok, FINALLY! I decided to take the chance and root my brand new D6646.......and IT WORKED!!! :)

Thank YOU so much shoey63!!! You deserve all my respect and gratitude man :D

It worked just fine, it still can recognize the full 32 Gbytes of memory and I could make a couple of calls just fine.

Now I´m gonna clean it up and reinstall all the apps and configure them......at this point is like installing windows for me......is gonna take 6 hours at least :(
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
Yup. It's a typo. Sorry:p
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
I have updated the tool again, it now includes support for :-

- Z3 D6603, D6653, D6633, D6646 and D6643. The .575 kernel.sin from the OP will work on these devices for rooting purposes. The included TWRP will work for all Z3 variants.

- The following devices have been added to the iovyroot binary. (No TWRP or kernel.sin support in this thread - Ask your Dev's/Advanced users to help out)

- Z3C D5803 and D5833.

- Z3 TAB Compact SGP621

- Z2 D6502 and D6503

- Z2 TAB SGP521 and SGP551

Note If you don't have an adb environment set up on your Windows distro, Copy the adb file from ...\RecoveryTool_for_MM575-291v3\Files to C:\Windows\System32

I tried this on fresh Windows 10 installation in VirtualBox and it worked. Don't forget to enable USB debugging and allow RSA key when prompted on the phone.

Also if you get a "loader.sin" error when flashing a kernel ftf, restart the phone and try again. It should work after that.

[Xperia Z3 General] alxtorrentazos:
Guys, sorry to ask this, but I have some issues with some apps when they try to write something to the microSD card........for example: Titanium Backup says that any destination folder in the microSD is not writable......I had to do this trick to make it work:

Go to Preferences -> Backup Folder Location.

Click on Storage provider at the top (it's not obvious that it's clickable).

Click on DocumentProvider storage. That will take you to a File Manager interface. You may have to click on the 3-dot menu on the top-right to enable the (external) SD card to be shown, then click the menu lines in the top-left and select your SD card, and click the "Select" at the bottom right. (You don't have to select your Titanium Backup folder here, you're just using this to get access to your SD Card.)

Now you should be back in Titanium Backup and you can browse like you used to to get to your preferred backup folder on your external SD Card

I warn you that using this Document Provider storage is much slower - at least it seems so for me. But, it seems that it's the only way to go for now.

Have the same problem with some other apps that say the microSD card lack of write permissions.

I´ve already flashed the ExtSD_Fix_rw-signed-v2.9b.zip fix a couple of times and the same scenario with RICDefeat.zip without luck.

Does someone could give me a hand with this?

TIA.

[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
FX file Explorer has an option to make SD card writeable, but this is OT as it is not related to the tool.

I flash D6603-6653_23.5.A.0.575_kernel.zip with FlashTool, everything works fine, I also run the default FSC script when prompted from FlashTool. I don't see any error messages from FlashTool log

When I reboot my device .291 is still there:/ What am I doing wrong?

Hello guys all of this is new for me, all I know is that I have a sony Xperia Z3 D6603 running Android 6.0.1 with a locked bootloader, is it rootable? If yes what should I do ? Thank you in advance
[Xperia Z3 General] Curst:
I am not sure if just flashing the kernel would change the version number of the system software. Does the rooting work anyway?
[Xperia Z3 General] bodomfan:
It is rootable just download the recovery tool zip file from original post extract the file and then run on pc with your phone connected, follow the instructions that pop up and it will root and install recovery :thumbup:
[Xperia Z3 General] pekira:
Thank you very much I followed the instructions and the recovery was successfully installed then I flashed SU and now my Xperia is rooted, thank you and special thanks to OP
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
Flashing a kernel won't change the build number of the rom. Check the build date of the kernel in settings /about phone. If it says April 22nd, you are on. 575 and good to go.
[Xperia Z3 General] sphinxy:
I followed the OP instructions, however it comes up with some small errors like "not a dir" for a few of the commands, however the "installation is successful" still shows up and phone reboots, however not into recovery and straight back into ROM.

I have installed root checker and when I run it, it says not rooted.

Any suggestions? (sorry, i dont have the exact error messages as I am not at home).
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
The error messages are harmless. You are not rooted because you haven't flashed Supersu.zip in recovery. You haven't entered recovery because you must have missed something. Read OP carefully and try again. Especially the bit where it says to flash 575 kernel first.

You can verify you are on the right kernel by checking the build date in settings /about phone/Kernel version. It should read Fri Apr 22 17:27.56 2016.
[Xperia Z3 General] sphinxy:
Appreciate your help.

I have followed the instructions listed on the OP.

1. Flash 575 via flashtool. I have selected no to the script pop-up.

2. Verified Kernel version is Fri Apr 22 17:27.56 2016

3. unpacked the zip

4. run install.bat

5. CMD has this dump:

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

6. Not sure what to do now?
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
Are you on pure stock MM 575 or 291? If not you may need to flash an ftf and start again. Let's move on . . .

- Reboot the phone to flush temp files.

- Copy adb.exe from <path to tool>\files to C:\Windows\System32

- disable USB Debugging

- Connect phone to PC

- Select MTP mode when prompted what to do.

- Re-enable USB Debugging

- Run the tool again.

- If a prompt about RSA keys appears on the phone, say yes.

- The tool should run and reboot to recovery.

- Then flash SuperSU.zip from twrp to get root.

This method works for me everytime. Hope it does the same for you:fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z3 General] sphinxy:
Im on pure stock 291.

Following your steps still doesnt reboot into twrp :(
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
Sorry to hear that. Which windows are you on?
[Xperia Z3 General] sphinxy:
Windows 10.

Hmm..I'm not sure what else to try
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
I'm not sure either. If you find a solution, please post it here for the benefit of other users.

Edit: Disable Antivirus?
[Xperia Z3 General] sphinxy:
Antivirus already disabled, haha.

I may need to go down the longer way and that is to downgrade back to LP and root from there.
[Xperia Z3 General] kaotik123:
Thanks to the devs for this!

I can't seem to flash the kernel in flashtool.

I have a D6633 MM .291 Build. I renamed the 575 zip to ftf. But when I select it on the tree in the flashtool firmware selector, there is no 'Content' and Flash button in greyed out. Can anyone help?

Windows 8.1 Flashtool 0.9.22.3
[Xperia Z3 General] sphinxy:
Try downloading the file again?
[Xperia Z3 General] kaotik123:
I tried that and it is still blank. All other firmwares and roms I have are able to be flashed, there's just nothing on this one. Anyone had this problem? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Fixed now I didn't have it expanded all the way. Quite embarrassing haha. Thanks for your help though.
[Xperia Z3 General] sphinxy:
I dont have this issue, but just so that i am clear, your steps are:

1. Open flashtool

2. Click on the lightning button (top left)

3. Select Sony and expand down to .575 kernel and select

4. Flash is greyed out

?
[Xperia Z3 General] kaotik123:
Thanks mate yeah I found out what I was doing wrong.

Although now having trouble booting into recovery. The install.bat works fine. No errors and it finishes and reboots my phone but won't reboot into recovery. Also I can't boot into recovery using the volume down button, adb commands or using an app like rom manager. Any ideas?
[Xperia Z3 General] sphinxy:
You're one step ahead of me - haha.

I get errors, but still completes and restarts. However, just like you it reboots back into the ROM and not recovery. I have also tried the volume button and adb reboot recovery command with all attempts failing to enter into recovery.

At the moment, it looks like it's just you and me with this issue. I am fully stock .291 with a LB.
[Xperia Z3 General] kaotik123:
Yeah strange you are getting errors from the install.bat. Although, I had do mine about 4 times before it went through perfectly.

Some other people had a similar issue not being able to boot into recovery (on page 8 on this thread i think) but I don't think they found a solution.

Will post back if I find the solution.
[Xperia Z3 General] sphinxy:
Thanks for that - I must of skipped that page and hadn't realised someone had the same error messages as me! I'll try again tonight - hoping that post #74's command will also work for my device.

After running the command to delete the folder, the install.bat ran with no errors! However, I too am in the same boat in that it wont reboot into custom recovery after a successful run of the install.bat :(

Update 2: Running the install.bat worked this time?! I have now rebooted into twrp recovery - yay!
[Xperia Z3 General] kaotik123:
Good to hear mate glad it worked for you.

So you just ran the install.bat a couple times and it eventually booted into recovery? I have successfully run it about 10 times but still no matter what I do i cannot boot into recovery!
[Xperia Z3 General] bodomfan:
Worked for me first time
[Xperia Z3 General] sphinxy:
Yep, just kept trying.

[Xperia Z3 General] LDI:
I flashed kernel .575 and it gave me:

31/059/2016 20:59:48 - ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.

31/059/2016 20:59:48 - INFO - Ending flash session

31/059/2016 20:59:48 - ERROR - null

31/059/2016 20:59:48 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

Then, as suggested, I tried again and this time the flash session finished without errors (only some warnings like "amss_fs_1 is excluded from bundle") . But when I unplugged the device D5803 and started the phone I have only one black screen. The device is powered on. I wanted to flash again but I cannot power off the device. What to do now?
[Xperia Z3 General] casouzaj:
To power off your Z3C, press and hold both the power and the volume up buttons, until it vibrates. Then, proceed as usual for flashing a ROM, like holding the volume down button whilst plugging the USB cable in.
[Xperia Z3 General] LDI:
Thanks, now I can power off the device. Then I tried to flash again .575 and after that .291 but without success. Is it possible to install custom ROM from the PC using FlashTool or another tool while the device is not operative? On my original .291 my device was not rooted (I suppose it still isn't). I don't care if my data are wiped off/reset or whatever.
[Xperia Z3 General] casouzaj:
What's your current configuration? Which ROM is loaded to your phone? Is it up and running? Your wish is to have the 291 build rooted, right?
[Xperia Z3 General] LDI:
I have stock 23.5.A.1.291. Now, after the unsuccessful flashes of the kernel this might have changed (I cannot check). My device is not running - when I power it on I see only a black screen (running screen but nothing on it, I can switch the display on and off). I can only power off the device as you told me - with power + volume down buttons.

Yes, I want .291 rooted, if possible with still locked bootloader to keep the DRM but in this situation I would accept any running ROM, just the device to be normally usable.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domsch1988:
Ok folks, i might be in the wrong spot, and yes, it's a bit off topic. But i seek your input non the less.

I currently rock a N910F. I'm extremely happy with it, apart from the fact that it gets to big sometimes. At home or in the car it's a non issue, but on the go, in the city one Handed handling is really sub optimal.

So I'm seeking a new/secondary phone. Basically any flagship to date is rather unimpressive imho. The features i seek:

- under 5.5 inch (around 5 would be ideal)

- 1080p display (less is grainy, more drains battery)

- big battery (around 3500mAh or more, bonus points for replaceable)

- flagship level performance (no SD820 i'm aware of, but 4/6GB Ram would be great plus a decent SoC)

- Some kind of development (Any AOSP'ish roms or at least some options for root are a must)

Basically a Android Version of a Iphone SE. Small form-factor with latest specs (in the iOS world ofc). What i don't want are 4k screens, 1500mAh batterys and Touchwiz :cyclops:

Currently, the OnePlus 3 seems close, although at the top of what size i'd want. The Moto G4 Plus or what it's called seems great too, although performance is a unknown.

So, what would you buy for big battery + flagship level performance in a small formfactor? Price is not relevant atm :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
Just get the SGS7. It has a 5.2 inch display and is very one handed friendly. Personally, I would stick with the Note 4. I came from using a SGSII for 4 years, the reason I kept using my SGSII for so long is that I haven't complete my game of Asphalt 6. So when I finally completed Asphalt 6, I went for the Note 4 N910C. I got use to the size of it so easily and now I don't think I can ever get use to using a device with a smaller display.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domsch1988:
Nice idea, but i'd say no to the S7. The normal S7 is only 3000mAh (which is rather big by todays standards) but the 2560 screen draws power like nothing else (the N4 has the same problem with around 3h SOT)...

Plus touchwiz. The Edge has a bigger battery, but on having handled it, the edge screen makes it impossible to handle (for me anyways). In addition to all this it's rather pricey. I agree that it's a great phone, it's just not what i'm looking for currently.

Also, yes the N4 is really great. Still one of the best phones i had to date. But there are more and more situations where it's simply to big ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
In that case check out the Huawei P9! That is a pretty nice device with great specs! However you will have to install the Google Now launcher from the Play Store as it runs on Huawei's EMUI, which doesn't have an app drawer.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cacingbesar:
battery is not all about size. it is also about ROM optimization.

so I think most current flagship will be fine for you.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Well you haven't mentioned any price, so I'm supposing that you've no budget restriction,, in that case HTC 10 is a good option. Small, great development and all. Otherwise like you already know OnePlus 3 it is. Moto G4 Plus is basically kind of an entry level phone really.

I guess my USB is broken, I have a QTEK 9100 and in bootmode the usb information doesnt appear in the white bar... I can only syncronize through bluetooth... what can I do? any Ideas? please help me

Can I flash without USB?

It stills charges with the usb cable :( :( :( :( please guys help me... sorry but help Im relly lost

Is there a complete package so I could upload to SD card and install or something like that?

I have triend everything to try to put usb working again and nothing
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
Nopes ! You cannot flash through BlueTooth,there has to be a physical connection between phone and pc via usb.

Which thing is not working,your usb cable or mini usb port of the phone,if it's usb cable plug,you can get a new usb cable,but if it's the mini usb port of the phone then you'll either have to get it replaced or repaired.

No,there's no such complete package,which you can flash through Sdcard method.Only the Rom Backup,which you create of your Rom on the Sdcard can only be backup to your phone,no other backup created of anyther phone can be flashed,as every backup has significant data stored on the Sdcard of that phone only.

Try to find out which part is faulty,usb cable or the mini port,try to wiggle the usb cable a little to check if it establishes the connectivity through Activesync.

Cheers
[Verizon LG G3] Chevelle1768:
I'm having a weird issues with my G3. Up until recently I have been able to use adb and MTP within TWRP and in my ROMS. But now neither work in TWRP and charging was a little flaky also.

While in TWRP I noticed it shows up as:

Bus 002 Device 016: ID 1004:6000 LG Electronics, Inc. Various Mobile Phones

This also happens when connected to a Windows machine.

Now when I reboot when a usb cable is NOT connected, then later plugged in it gives me the same thing.

If I power-off while a cable is connected and boot into TWRP I still do not get adb or MTP, but if I reboot into my ROM I get:

Bus 002 Device 019: ID 18d1:4ee2 Google Inc. Nexus 4 (debug)

Then adb and MTP works while in the ROM.

The other weird thing is I tried flashing CM recovery and adb works with in it :confused:

I've tried using KDZ to go back to 10B (which worked), then re-rooted, flashed TWRP, same thing no adb or MTP.

So then I tried TOT back to 10B, re-rooted, flashed TWRP same thing again.

Any ideas what is happening?
