So I followed these steps. By my understanding... in #4 I should use the boot.img from the ROM I downloaded and use fastboot flash boot boot.img then fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp-3.1.0-0-scorpion.img (did I get that right?)

That's the only part I got confused.

Anyway, after doing that I rebooted. Now my tablet can only boot until the OS loading screen. The one with the teal(?) colored arc with a circle arcing from right to left... then it freezes a bit... loads... then freezes... until it force restarts. Did I do something wrong?

edit: I also used sideload to do the steps for rooting in #7.

edit: Also does a full wipe mean the Advanced wipe? Wipe all except external sd?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] AkoSiJD:
I finally got it to work using the above steps. Thank you so much for this great ROM. My device had to reboot automatically quite a few times just to boot correctly it seems. I have never tried to restart my device after accessing it as I am afraid of another boot loop. But I will try later.

Concerns: Would it be possible in the near future to be able to download some Sony exclusive apps? Like the stock Sony Album, Xperia PS4 Remote Play, and also maybe be able to access Privilege Plus. There were a few perks from stock ROM that I like and use. And also be able to load themes like from Cyanogen.

Thanks again. Will be following the thread for future updates.

Thanks for the good works :good:

I need to patch

/system/framework.jar

for signature spoofing in order to install MicroG. I used to patch it using Tingle (from Ale5000), but with the scorpion_windy build, it fails because it's an odexed ROM.

How can I deodex it, so I can patch it and finish my process? Using GApps is really not an option for me ;)

Thanks a lot!

If anyone is interested, the last magisk beta plus the module "universal safetynet fix" it is works perfectly in the v7.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] emko7:
I seem to be consistently coming across a problem where my sd cards (both internal and external) are not mounting properly, especially after a reboot. Eg, I'll open es file explorer and get an error saying "/sdcard is not found". Same thing in other file managers, such as solid explorer. Turning the tablet off and then back on, as opposed to restarting sometimes fixes it temporarily, until the next time I need to reboot. Is this a known issue? Any fixes? I've tried flashing sdfix to see if it's just a write permissions error, but no luck.

Can anyone confirm that the front camera works, no grainy/noise image?

I have another rom (7.1) currently and the front Camera is pretty much unusable.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] SageDroid:
Close ups are comparable to stock.

Landscape pictures are out of focus and not very usable.

QR Code scanning works like a charm.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] undersys:
Thanks!

I am just after the front Camera for Skype calls really.

So has long as the image is not grainy/noisy it will be fine.

Landscape photo's are not a concern but handy to know.

I might try flash this ROM and see how I go.

Ah seems the Noise/Grain remains :(

Would just like to say thank you [MENTION=615507]lowtraxx[/MENTION] for this ROM! Very happy it has extended the life of my sgp611 :) No random reboots for me, don't care much for the camera or nfc! Tablet just works nicely for what I use, happy happy!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lukey-55:
Rom is amazing thank you ??

The only one thing I can't do is fix the volume problem.

I tried flashing the fix as per the instructions but no luck.

Any ideas as I want to stay using this as my daily ?

EDIT:

Doesn't matter I fixed it somehow? Loving it now the sound is loud?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lukey-55:

Do you have any idea how? I really want to get this done!

Being honest not 100%.

I installed the audio mod provided and installed viper and between them something worked.

It's super loud now
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] MajorPlayz:

What's the mod and what's viper?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lukey-55:
Read the intro to this group, and there is a section where the developer says thank you to someone for making a sound mod, and it has a link.

Guys I hardly use my tablet but flashed this rom before going on holiday and I do use my tablet to watch films on the tv when I go away on hols.

I have a red mhl cable that works perfectly fine with the tablet & official rom but apparently it doesn't work with this rom?

I plug in the cable to the tablet and the power light comes on fine but no option to stream the image to the tv?

Can anyone please help? We can't go out on the night as children in bed so could be a pretty boring holiday if I can't get this working!

Thanks

Matt
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
I don't see MHL working on Sony devices, likely there is a patch needed to detect MHL connection and enable output. Do you know of a non-stock Sony ROM with working MHL? Could contact author and inquire how it was done. At present MHL is working on my Samsung i9505 with official LOS build so it's not an LOS limitation but rather the device-specific drivers.

Love your rom, been using it as daily driver for couple of months. And the only thing from stock that I miss is the on-hands detection, where tablet didn't turn off display if he detected that you are holding it. Is it possible to port this feature some time in the future?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] CrazyPeter:
Disabled NFC, and my random reboot problem went away. No reboots for ages, was quite a frequent occurrence before then.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
A short update. I have a new stable build in testing. Sadly it will not yet fix the sound issues, but it will bring an update to the latest Android sources and security patches as well as the latest binaries. I hope to be able to release it after thorough testing which should be completed by Monday. So it may release in July still (if nothing is broken in my tests), but could also be delayed to the start of August.

Hi there, I'm faced with an issue regarding videos which are displayed green and purple. I'm using a SGP621 together with this ROM. Is anyone observing similar behaviour? Cheers
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
Battery for me works even better than stock now. Did you follow the recommendation in the OP and disabled NFC?

Not sure if it will ever be fixed, as Sony does not develop the platform further and thus there will be no new binaries.

Not sure yet. Will have to look into it, but am swamped at work and barely get time to even integrate the Sony and Android patches.

Which Video player are you using? MXPlayer Pro and VLC are working flawlessly for me. If you refer to WebVideos in Browser, try to disable Hardware Acceleration.

Thanks for the latest update, works fine on my SGP621.

I just flashed v8 over v7 on my SGP611 and I'm having problems to start Spotify. The message I get from the app is that it can't find the storage space needed to run the app.

I have attached the section of logcat connected to Spotify and it seems like the app can't reach its cache folder in /storage/emulated/

Is anybody else having the same problem?

Update: It seems like the problem was caused by the permissions being reset for some apps when installing v8. When allowing all permissions needed for Spotify (and some other apps) manually it works as usual.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
An intermediate fix is to take the boot image from v7 and flash it. That will restore working USB behavior. It may take me a while to figure out and revert which of the merged kernel patches broke it. In the meantime use this as a workaround and fastboot flash the boot image from v7.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] TessereKt:
Hello, thanks for the ROM. I've just got a question (silly perhaps) on my mind. I have a SGP621 and my bootloader can't be unlocked, unfortunately. Just wondering if I could install this ROM following Your tutorial on how to install CM12 on Z3TC with locked bootloader with the only difference that I'd flash the corresponding parts of this ROM instead.

I'm referring to this: https://xdaforums.com/z3-tablet-compact/development/root-root-locked-bootloader-sgp621-t3013534
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
I'm pretty sure that bootloader unlock (step 24 of that guide) is needed to flash the boot partition and install another ROM. You could root an existing ROM but without bootloader unlock you won't be able to change the boot image which is required to run LOS.

Maybe I missed something but I don't see a way around this.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] TessereKt:
Thanks for Your answer. I guess it's me who didn't understand the guide, but, in my opinion, the reason we're using a vulnerable firmware from another device is to unlock a bootloader that can't be unlocked by usual means. If the bootloader were unlockable on the device from the start, why even bother using firmware from another?

Basing upon that, I thought the guide could be used to install custom ROM on a device without actually unlocking the bootloader permanently, that's why the title thereof reads "with Locked Bootloader". Although the guide is solely for CM12, why wouldn't the process work for another custom ROM with recovery?

I'm sorry if I'm spitting nonsense here. It's just a conclusion I came to and thought reasonable.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
That certainly makes sense. Thought it was a hardware lock tho.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] torben5247:
Root

In order to root this rom do we have to do anything else than activate it in the developers menu?

I have flashed supersu earlier but i dont think it is neccesary, apps that needs root are working fine without flashing anything, am i right in this?

Thanks for thes fantastic rom!!:good::good:
