Hi. I hope this help: (my english its not very good):

I came from 8/08. Fisrt I installed TWRP 311 over TWRP 30 (from zip, like de ROM),then boot the 8/08, then the 25/08 ROM. (the cam.zip and then Cyberian 8.0 for MM). No problem at all. It works perfect, fluid and the battery last longer than stock.

I had the same problem "Zip signature verification failed" when I tried to install 8/08 over TWRP 2.x. I think (I'm not a programmer, just a user so this is my opinion) it is because of the boot, o FOTAKernel or recovery partition (some partition problem).
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Inghraram:
I too lost recovery after flashing 08/08 and couldn't flash the newer 08/25. I then flashed a stock marshmallow and started from scratch.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dragona92:
I don't really want to start from scratch. Anyone found another way? Have the same issue here. I'm on 0808 one and I can't seem to boot up into recovery. Tried pressing vol+ and vol-, only vol-, tried flashing using fastboot (it says success but I can never see the blue light). At that point I usually had success with flashing a z3c recovery and then get the proper one, but that didn't work either (using the TWRP app). I'm running out of ideas and I kinda want to update my phone without losing anything but what's most important - have an actual recovery?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] erikrecca:
LuL I only need a recovery without flashing a new rom
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] J0_on:
Try flashing the recovery in op (3.1.1) with flashfire, it's a free app in the playstore ;)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dragona92:
It is a free app but it doesn't work with the Root that's included in the ROM.

There's what I do to flash it, and it says it's okay but still no TWRP....
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] andyroshadi:
clear

I try to unpack boot.img from rom 0808 and install using fastboot. then install recovery. work for me :)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] ingomerten:
Lost recovery and Zip signature verification failed

Hi to everyone,

first an advice to everyone who "lost the recovery" on 0808:

The recovery isn't lost, you just can't access it the "easy way". You have to turn the phone off and then press the power button and the volume down button together till the phone vibrates, then release both buttons and it will start in recovery mode. That was discussed several times before and worked for me.

Concerning my "Zip signature verification failed" problem, I've found out that it doesn't generally mean that the zip file is broken, it just means that the zip file wasn't signed correctly, but it _may_ also mean that something is wrong with the zip file. I could just turn off the signature verification and flash it anyway. But I don't want to end up in a boot loop. If anyone of the developers could confirm that the file is OK and there is just an issue with the signature, I'll try to flash it without verification. I'm still on 0727 because of the bluetooth issue in 0808. Perhaps that makes a difference, even I don't know why it should.

All the best,

ingomerten
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Komandir24:
Why you using "flash recovery" command? Try to use "flash fotakernel" instead.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] J0_on:
You need to change your selinux status to permissive and the root will work
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] kall3:
Use fastboot flash

I have successfully updated my Z3 doing the following steps:

Put ROM on internal or external SD

Extract boot.img from ROM (remember path - see 4th step)

boot into fastboot-mode

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery twrpxyz.img (whatever 3x-Version you have as an img)

fastboot reboot

press vol+ while booting

from twrp flash rom ...ready
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] winni91:
Since I've flashed 08/25 my phone won't go into deepsleep. It stays at the lowest CPU frequency instead. I rebooted and wiped cache dalvik. Any suggestions?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dragona92:
That failed. It said "Remote: command not allowed."

Alright. What I did was I found an app to change the status of the selinux. Then I flashed the ROM with the app you suggested and TADA! Both the new version and the new version of the TWRP are on deck! Thanks for the help!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Br4no:
Im experiencing the same since one of latest versions. The battery life is not as good as it was before. "Phone idle" consupsion is high. But I dont know what it means and what really drains the battery.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] TjNiko:
i would say to much wakelocks or maybe the new radio or bluetooth or whatever could be defective. [MENTION=4550727]xkeita[/MENTION] should check what he is building.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] xkeita:
Trusting the battery log from settings is like trusting your neighbor telling you how much your phone battery lasts.

Maybe I should, maybe I shouldn't. Wakelock as a service.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] shufuking:
What I do is to disable the location scanning (Setting > Location > Scanning > both Wi-Fi scanning and Bluetooth scanning)

Then reboot.

The phone will have deep sleep.

-------------Edit--------------

It's okay to only turn off Bluetooth scanning only, and turn on the Wi-Fi scanning

Seems the bluetooth update problem?

Even if I turn on the bluetooth then turn off right away, the phone will never have deep sleep.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] pgzh:
Same problem here.

I'm seeing the BTLowPower kernel wakelock keeping the phone active 100% of the time even with bluetooth turned off. (Checked with BetterBatteryStats)

I also have location scanning already disabled, doesn't help.

The phone did never go into deep sleep since the update to 0825.

Would be great if this can be resolved!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] TjNiko:
Dont take that as an attack. I meant u should check sone things b4 release or just Provider otas like im Stuck on 25/8 first build. Kamera has should be patched with zip instead of an entire build. Small thing patch per zip. New builds for real changes and periodic.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] tiliarou:
Who are you to tell the dev how to handle their versioning ? If it's more convenient and adequate timing to release new build I don't see why he would take the hassle to make a flashable zip patch...

Anyway you can extract the files yourself and make a zip patch on your own.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Sketch85:
Issue: Bluetooth connection to my car audio system needs to paired every time newly.

Expected: After bluetooth was paired once connection should be established automatically if devices are near.

Root cause: My car system identifies the phone every time as new device. This is not the case if I use my business iPhone. So issue seems to be the Sony.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Calp:
I just got my Xperia Z3 and am still looking for the best custom rom to decide for.... Judging from the threads activity, it seems like most people bank on this one and it's still under active development, right?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Br4no:
The same for me, but I dont know which version was the last where it worked perfectly.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] TjNiko:
Oh on that its simple im developers of applications too. I have experience and Remy on simple logic. And who are you to even try speaking to a developers who vives an other dev a gooud Guide now to handle things? [MENTION=6979267]nailyk[/MENTION] Trier to make a patch wich Not worked. The Team of this Rom Splitted apart course their team management failed.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] tiliarou:
You have your way of managing your apps/dev, and I respect that, I didn't say it was a bad thing. But it doesn't mean that other developers have the same way, that's all. It just takes more time and testing to make OTA/flashable zip patches, which might be one of the reason xkeita released a full rom instead.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Team hasn't fallen apart, still rocking along nicely. Its a dev thread so keep it constructive and helpful or f**k off
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] NuronZ:
Yes, thats right
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] marenp:
Guys i need help. I flashed recovery via fastboot following instructions on OP , still cant boot into TWRP :(
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] CHaPoCA:
Hello all, good evening

So, I installed the latest version (2017-08-25) and noticed some errors:

1 | My NFC does not work when I try to pair with my SONY SBH52 phone.

2 | After paired, I noticed some random disconnects, but the devide paired again after a few seconds.

3 | I noticed some random disconnects with BT using my JBL GO as well.

4 | My device was restarted twice while I was watching some video using Facebook.

4.1 | The system freezes, the phone makes a continuous noise and the phone just restart after like 2/3 seconds.

5 | My battery is draining quickly after the last version.

6 | Using my phone with the magnetic cable charger does not charge the battery.

I tried to get some logs, but I really don't know if it"s right, let me know if it's not and I'll try to get it again.

Thanks for the rom, I really apreciate the great work from devs.

Cya
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] xkeita:
Thanks for your report.

Issues 6, 5, 4.1, 4 don't exist on my device. Maybe a /data wipe would help. As for issues 1, 2 and 3 they are really hard for me to debug atm, only device I have is my car stereo and bluetooth is pretty much a hit and miss. Also, been busy getting 8.0.0 to work :p
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] xkeita:
You don't know how tiring flashing a rom 10, 15 times a day to test stuff is. Doing sepolicy stuff alone took around 40 kernel flashes. And yes, otas would be perfect but build system doesn't like building otas that are not the same size as the whole rom.

Bluetooth issue

For me it was 0727, concerning bluetooth.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] mciesi:
At 25/08 GPS has gone wild. It is repeatedly losing and gaining fix back. Add to it slow USB charging and after 3h of navigation my z3 went dead. Just when it was the most needed. :(

At 08/08 this problem didn't exist, so I switched back.

I can grab some logs when I return from holidays, now I need navigation.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Br4no:
Yes, this is definitely true. Since 25/08 version the gps works strange. I noticed that during navigating by waze app. It repeatedly looses and getting back the connection.

Tomorrow I will try to provide logs.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] jonathan.lube:
About Version 14.1-20170825-xkeita-z3dual, I'm not having most of the problems reported in the topic. GPS running perfectly in high-precision mode and economy battery mode (work as Google Insider), bluetoth running smoothly with my headset and speakers, charging with magnetic cable normally, videos running perfectly using the standard application of Gallery and mxplayer, facebook ok, battery lasts in average of 14 hours with the GPS in economic mode and internet 4g. Screen brightness used is 35 ~ 50%. The temperature of my cell phone is between 40ºC and 50ºC

Only problem I had was related to load via USB. Fast loading does not work on USB. Maybe the problem is fixed by doing a clean installation, but I'm avoiding doing it now because I'm waiting for the next build, and for me that's not a problem, since SonyBR itself does not support fast charger.

I am using TWRP 3.1.1-3, updated on 2017/08/25.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] TjNiko:
Nope. [MENTION=4550727]xkeita[/MENTION] dont support Fastcharging. in his words, it hurts batterylife to much and its not economic for the Z3 to have fastcharge.

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

Well i know that it sucks and i real understand ur position, it would be just more friendly to have "hotfixes" so little things just can be patched. u still gona add the code to repo and these bugfiyes will be included to next release. Btw since last 2 builds there is no 3am reboot anymore. after doubleflashing the rom and deactivate some trash from booting with the phone my doze/Deepsleep consuming like 0 batterry. So ur work is doing great. you still need to take care for alot of things till this gona go official, and i still miss the donationbutton.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Br4no:
Hello, I would like to ask if this means that doze/drepsleep is not working at all for now (without your changes you mentioned)?

Thanks in advance! :)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] TjNiko:
my device did run out of batterry while plaing a game. now it does not load anymore no led response., i guess its dead now.

edit: i took it to my laptop and just pluged it in after a while it showed error (cannot receive device descriptor. and then after another long while it detected the device and the LED changed to red. after that it responded also to my charger. my phone still alive god bless.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] lynxeon:
Just I was to reply that comment. Not only is it out of place, it is an offense to the progress of the development of this ROM. We're sorry you have to put up with this [MENTION=4550727]xkeita[/MENTION].
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] youssef mohamed:
I have two bugs

First

I have screen brightness bug decrease and increase!!

Second

Mic in call not working plz anyone helo me
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] NuronZ:
Hmm this second "bug" is at the moment "normal..." Many people told me about that... But the mic is okay...
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] sheng_zongxian:
camera bug video, when i touch focus the camera app stopped working
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] youssef mohamed:
how solve it I cant make any calls ?!:confused:
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] uoid:
Try disabling 'Ok Google'
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
Mic in call not working

Did you apply this workaround to suppress in-call echos? It will not help if your mic is not working in calls at all, but I just want to find out if these two things may be related to each other.

I did some bug hunting:

I experienced the same issue, and disabling OK Google Hotword Detection did resolve the issue for me.

I did some A/B comparison of logs and found this in dmesg.log while "OK Goole" was turned on:

[303621.701873] taiko_codec_enable_slim_chmask: Slim close tx/rx wait timeout
[303621.701921] POST_PMD: AIF1 CAP event failed: -110
[303621.708846] taiko_slimbus_irq: underflow error on TX port 6, value 2

So I found out that we might not be the only one facing this issue.

Back-camera not working

Nice firmware, not overheating, not freezes, but i have one HUGE problem - in any camera app on this firmware, in back camera i get black screen. No image. Is this bug known?

P.S. - i've flash stock firmware 291 and camera work there.

version lineageOS 14.1 from 25.08
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Foxx_V-tec_Lowrey:
Hi everyone...I ve got some trouble with the mic to, but a reboot answer the problem.

The real problem is with the Bluetooth. With a Bose SoundLink, it s working great, but I had to paired my Bluetooth car system everytime I want to used it.

And mic trouble started just after using the Bluetooth....
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
Camera works fine for me, I have flashed [PORT] [STOCK SONY CAMERA] [3.4] for Nougat ROMs and also installed Google Camera via GApps. All three cams are working, however without the 120fps feature.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] stara75:
Do you have photosphere and panorama feature on Google camera?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
I just tried Photosphere. It's working fine.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] jj27_6:
Lineageos 15

Will be there lineageos 15 to our z3?

Your last version works very well to me. It is very fast

Camera work OK and brightness is not perfect but it is better in each update. The overheating is smaller than other rooms.

I will wait we can get lineageos 15 to our z3.

Thanks to a great developer how xkeita and to his excellent job our mobile is not obsolete yet.

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] xkeita:
Hopefully yes, there will be LineageOS 15 for our Z3, despite LineageOS 15.0 being on baby diapers our Z3 is booting Android oreo without any problems but some things are partially working making the rom half usable and I've been working alone on it so it might take sometime since I'm learning new stuff along the way. As for 14.1, I'll wait till september security patches before pushing a new build but it'll include the following: Default to BT-AVRCP 1.4 / Brand new sepolicy config / Completely reworked device init
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] xkeita:
I'll drop this just to keep the hype train running
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] carburngood:
First xkeita, awesome job getting an Oreo build out so early after mainstream release - mad props.

Just throwing it out to the floor, on calls people can hear me talking but I can't hear them unless I go to speakerphone on the 25/08 build. Any suggestions or just a full wipe and start from scratch (came from one of the July builds with a dirty flash to the 25/08 build.)

Edit: Restart does not fix this issue btw.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] jimmy123322:
Great news [MENTION=4550727]xkeita[/MENTION]!!! Thank you for doing this hard work!:)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] klemm1:
Hello!

First, thank you for your excellent work. I currently use release 14.1-20170808-xkeita-z3 on my D6603, without any significant problem.

I consider upgrading to the latest release (from this thread), and I'm wondering if wiping /data is necessary ? I've seen that the install steps in the original post includes wiping /data, but does it applies in all cases, or only when replacing a non-LineageOS ROM? I'd like to avoid the hassle of wiping /data if it is not required.

Thank you in advance!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dobsgw:
No need to wipe data if you're just updating the build.

You should wipe data coming from other ROMs

Or if you have force closes etc after updating.

Usually you will be fine just updating but sometimes a clean install will freshen up your phone.

Just experiment :)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] klemm1:
Thanks !

Just to report : I've done the update, wiping only system/cache/etc (not data). I had to re-install gapps (since google play services stopped working), and clear data for some crashing apps (notably Clock), but except that, no major problem encountered, everything seems to work (including camera)

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] carburngood:
Can I ask if anyone has a link to the 08/08 build? Even with a clean flash of 25/08 I can't hear incoming calls, though they can hear me. So hoping stepping back a build will solve it as no one else seems to be experiencing this. Probably being on a D6653 is the problem.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] TjNiko:
its known that googles "OK Google" cousing this problem, try to deactivate it first.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] mattia.bf:
I reflash gapps everytime I dirty flash an update and I encounter 0 problems. I also wipe dalvik again after flashing
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] jonathan.lube:
Try installing version 08.08, copying the files from the firmware folder of the old version to an external media, and then installing the new version and replacing the files in the firmware folder.

I used this method for a long time when the build was still in beta and the development was exclusive to the d6603 release.

I have version 08.08 but I can only make it available a little later. At the moment my internet is unstable.

Hi, guys.

Thnx for your's work.

Can confirm on clean 25.08 install camera doesn't work, just black screen!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Bäcker:
On my end the Camera works flawlessly. But I do not get deep sleep (BT low power wakelock) and thus have to charge each day.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] carburngood:
Hi there, first thing I did but no luck :( the problem is not people hearing me but me hearing them.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] youssef mohamed:
Disable Ok google from Google assistant and it will work
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] carburngood:
Hi again, as per my previous post the first thing I did was disable OK Google and restart. My mic works fine, people can hear me though I can't hear anyone through my phone's ear piece, speakerphone works fine.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
Check if this is not a hardware problem. For example, you can check your phone's speakers here:

http://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_stereo.php

If you hold your phone in landscape mode, you should hear "left channel" from the top speaker.
