Root not working

Hi,

first of all I'd like to thank all devs and the community for the great work! If been reviving my z3c with your Rom and it is doing great and Fairly stable.

I have had issues with the current Ota release and root though. I used magisk before but it leaves me stuck at the Sony logo with the current version. SuperSu doesn't work either. Did anyone else experience something like this?

Kind regards

alex
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] unpair:
HI,

thank you for this good looking and fast rom.

Is ota working with mcgi5sr2 homemade release? Because i had it flashed and ota is disabled in my phone.

Thanks, bye

Hi

I have root with súper su and work nice, I dont flash any gapps.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] fabioshepherd:
Hi! On my z3c i have the HOMEMADE release, that one you can find in the first post, and i have no problem using magisk for the root :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Audio routing is working well on my device, could someone supply some logs and more information on the issue?

Here you go.

While switching from earspeaker to speaker and back while in a call mic goes silent. Has to reboot to fix it.

Started for me with bluetooth, but can't reproduce it anymore.

Access to external SD card

During last week I installed Oreo on my Z3C. Got TWRP and root via Magisk working fine. GApps nano package installation worked also very well, no errors so far.

Now I am working on gradually changing over to this phone from my Z1C. Installing Apps worked, even restore of data with TB (not system, but user apps). So far so good and a big thanks to the developers.

I have one thing to note so far, at least a pecularity:

What is the status with external SD-Card access on Oreo. I use Total Commander as file manager and it seems that access to the extSD seems somewhat limited even though Total Commander has root rights. Seems I can create a folder but I am not able to delete it.

What is the Oreo policy with regard to the extSD. So far I only used MM on my Z3TC tablet and L on the Z1C. That required an SD fix to make it writable.

In the meantime I installed a Magisk Module which creates a link /mnt/media_rw which makes r/w possible, but that does not seem to work on the regular mounting point.

I tried various things with the SD card, including formatting it in the phone. At the moment I don't want to format the SD as internal SD, since I have not fully understood the consequences of that

Apologies if my question goes a bit beyond the scope of this thread, but this nice image is my first contact with Oreo.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] noideaforaname:
It's not Rom related, maybe a bug in total commander.

Simply add a new shortcut in the overview folder linked to your SD. Then use this link to gain access to your SD card and delete the old one.

Now you can delete folders ;)

Regarding 5GHz wifi - also cant detect, possible its pecause of wifi contry code, how can I change it on 8.1?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Kockowan:
In my opinion it's a feature, not a bug... ;)

Pls refer to attached screenshot from Total Commanders settings:

Option "Root-Funktionen überall" must be activated for deleting folders.

Hi, first of all, thanks for the effort put in this rom, it's great! Smooth and fast ;)

but i've got a problem :( i'm on 2018-02-09 homemade (broken ota :( ) with 8.1 unofficial gapps (full wipe install) and i've got a big problem with phone calls, at random the phone will drops my calls either when i make, or receive, one.

I've put togehter a log with the matlog app installed within the rom, there are lots of error tags and an "error -75" what concerns me :crying:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] hanney:
Is that just me or anyone else is able to feel the fast charging doesn't work well?

Thanks for a good ROM by the way
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
on my leo it works with magnetic charger (+/-4h for 10% to 100)

Hello, the interlocutor does not hear me well during a conversation, what can I do?

PS: "Ок Google" disabled
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] hanney:
4 hours? It's quite a lot of time. I normally use quick charge 2.0 and just changed to 3.0 and it just takes about 1 hour (or more I don't remember cause it charges really fast) with Chinese ROM (I don't remember the name). But now I don't feel that with the same charger in this ROM :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] claudiobar:
Edit system/build.prop

Search for the string "ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence" and change it to =none
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] kla960:
Thanks for this great ROM. But I'm a little confused about TWRP. I've installed the linked version with fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp_***.img and the newest TWRP Version I found using fastboot flash recovery twrp_***.img.

Must I install to FOTAKernel and recovery?

Can I used the newest TWRP for FOTAKernel and/or recovery?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] casouzaj:
One of those partitions would suffice. If you install it in the FOTAKernel partition, to enter TWRP, starting with your phone turned off, hold both the power and volume down buttons. When it vibrates, release the power button, and when the screen lights up, release the volume down button. Otherwise, if TWRP is in the recovery partition, hold the power button to turn it on. When the led lights up in pink color, press one of the volume buttons.

I prefer the. recovery partition solution, because I can enter TWRP by either the buttons combination, or software.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TalamakSaBisyo:
Thanks for this rom.

The only problem is video recording.

And I have a little concern about my phone heated a lot.

Not experienced in marshmallow rom.

But thanks again, i wish developer continuing support this rom for our mighty z3 compact.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Ale-X:
thanks, I think the author of the firmware should do this, that users would not experience this problem)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
No because it bring back the echo on the other side.

It seems to be an ACDB id problem but no time to write a parser.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] KUN1:
Nobody?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] okij:
You can change the brightness settings via GravityBox (at least in GravityBox for Nougat, I'm not sure about Oreo).

In GravityBox settings go to Display tweaks -> Brightness settings.

I have set Minimum brightness level to 3, Screen dim level to 10 and the screen dim levels as follows:

Level 1: Lux max 5, Brightness 7

Level 2: Lux max 15, Brightness 12

Level 3: Lux max 50, Brightness 21

Level 4: Lux max 100, Brightness 32

Level 5: Lux max 200, Brightness 42

Level 6: Lux max 400, Brightness 49

Level 7: Lux max 1000, Brightness 58

Level 8: Lux max 2000, Brightness 68

Level 9: Lux max 3000, Brightness 114

Level 10: Lux max 5000, Brightness 158

Level 11: Lux max 10000, Brightness 219

Level 12: Lux max 30000, Brightness 249

These settings work fine on my Z3c on CarbonROM 5.1 (Android 7.1.2).

It might be that you have to experiment with the Minimum brightness level, since it's dependent on the screen hardware of your phone. If you set it too low, your screen backlight will start flickering when you put your phone to the lowest manual brightness setting.

Please drop a line if this works for you too. :)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] marcogiannetta:
Are you serious?

There's a big "PREREQUISITES" title
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] okij:
Oh ... my ... God! :eek:

Just yesterday you asked the same on the CarbonROM thread, also quoting the whole opening post and I gave you some well-meant hints and the answer that you asked for.

Now, without first reading and searching, you do the same thing here, spamming the thread by quoting the whole opening post and asking uneccessary questions.

Please start reading and researching for yourself or quickly leave xda again. We don't need spoon-fed babies here.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] kla960:
I have the same problem. Please fix it, because it is one of the most important function of a smartphone :D

Thanks

Don´t know if it´s out of topic, but:

I have an app "BoxToGo pro" to check my fritzbox router.

While i list`n to musik by headphone (cable) and a message from that app appears of incoming call, the phone puts out musik to headphone and internal speaker.

Had that 2 times on airport, now.

Don´t know if it´s rom or app related?

Hello,

I installed this ROM on my D5803 and I forgot to flash root while I was in recovery...

Unfortunately after rebooting and I started using the ROM I wanted to have root access but I can't reach the recovery mode...

I tried installing TWRP using fastboot but when doing so I'm left at the <waiting for device step>

Flashtool doesn't recognize my device either...

Is there a way to fix this or am I just stuck like this ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] TimMayle:
Try installing TWRP app from Play Store and use it to reinstall Recovery.

Then you should be good to reinstall Root package
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] rnexusv:
I think root access is needed to flash the recovery or I might just not be aware on how to do you have a link on any explanations ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] marcogiannetta:
Did you switch on USB Debug before running fastboot commands?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] rnexusv:
I fixed the problem, I just had installed my drivers wrong... thx for the help anyway
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Sphoneix:
I have installed this but when rebooting i get red light of death. I don't understand the reason why.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] G_SC:
Hallo, is there a plan for the march 2018 sec Android update? My OTA don't show this update ... :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] cesar65:
Did you read the instructions in the first post? Did you follow them exactly?

Provide a complete description of what you did in the install process and a precise description of the state of your phone before you started it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] superblod:
I've installed this onto my Z3C, after much heart ache and swearing, I finally got it operational. Thought I had bricked it for 6 hours.

The twrp 8.0 recovery was a massive help. The ROM runs really sweet, although It looks to be heavy on the battery. I can't find anything that does not work. I'm well pleased. Keep on going, you can do it too!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] franklinzero:
Error report, if you set 4x4 icond distribuiton on icon drop down menu of status bar you cant edit it anymore from the "pen" icon because he will be overlayed by the virtual buttons. If anyone have an workaround for it i'm here to listen. :)

Sorry for my English.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] franklinzero:
You're a life saver man, i have an lesser ocd and i was about to flash it again to fix it, just the think that is stuck even that does not affect me at all was driving me crazy. I've tried setting the motor impaired and it doesnt help me it wont highlight the button, tried sixaxis app with ps3 joystick and the app cant syncronize, and you simply fixed that easy that way. Really, really thank you.

Oh, i dont know if its android 8 relative or just the rom, but sixaxis app wont work on my device, not a big deal i dont play nothing on it anymore but i think theres no harm to tell. ^^

Peace.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] cesar65:
A bit Late but thanks for this hint. That did the trick for me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:

Good job, install new ROM in system and then clean (wipe) it. You are genius :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] tonz87:
It is possible to update the first post with the latest rom version available? I'm stuck on omni-8.1.0-20180209-z3c-HOMEMADE with broket OTA and i've read there is a 20180211 version of this rom :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Hi everyone,

I am sorry to say that I have given my father the z3c I was using and so will no longer be working on this. I haven't had the time I wanted to do this work with pressures of a new job, and writing my thesis. Sorry to see the end of what has been a very enjoyable time working and learning about android. The dream isn't over tho, the repos are still there, I would suggest anyone who wants to sync up and get building! There are plenty of potential DEVs among you

kind regards

mcgi5sr2
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] okij:
I was one of the guys who donated some money for your new Z3c just five weeks ago, so for me it's kinda sad to see that you now passed it on to your father instead of using it yourself and keeping part of our community. :(

Of course your job and your studies come first and I wish you success in your job and best of luck for your thesis! :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] G_SC:
Hi, how can I update to the March 2018 updates?

OTA does not work .... :(

or, how we can fix the OTA that all upcomming Updates will work automaticly ....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
You can access the OTA folder here : https://releases.nailyk.fr/omni/
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] idem28:
No, i install this rom after remove system sir
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] russel5:
Did you read what are you posted?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] cesar65:
So I just installed this ROM only recently, I really like it. So far, I've only got problems with Bluetooth once. I could not switch it on, just had to reboot. No idea what caused this. Battery life is quite good.

Now I read that mcgi is ceasing development. I remember that nailyk also announced he would reduce or even stop work on this. Do I remember correctly? It would be a real pity, since the z3c is such a capable device.

And no, I am no developer. I could donate some money if that would help to maintain work (though that does not seem to have worked last time).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] G_SC:
Hi, i have updated to this Version, now i Miss the update button ....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] fluffi444:
I guess this was a bit of lost in translation. [emoji3]

I guess he "successfully" cleaned the partitions and then he flashed the rom...

Ok. There is the comma but still not written very clearly....

No offense. Just want to help... [emoji3]
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
Still supported.

It require time, lot of time, and we do not have it, just be patient ;)

Your OTA pages looks fine, but my German is rusty ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
[MENTION=4916555]okij[/MENTION] of course you are right, sorry its been hectic of late. Please PM me your paypal details and I'll refund the difference. Anyone else who contributed I am happy to do the same for you. As I am now employed!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] funiewski:
If any real dev need a z3c I can send one to him or her, don't use it anymore
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] okij:
No worries! I happily donated, so there's no need for a refund. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
Will be great!!!

But will not decrease latency as am still **** busy AFK ;)

Maybe you now can see, what I meen ....

With the z3c-HOMEMADE Update from 2018-02-09 there was here an update button ...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
There was just the security patch date, the update is in system above reset options.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] cesar65:
Good to hear that you are still working on this ROM. And I really hope that you can spare some time for it without compromising your private and professional life.

How to switch from "homemade" to regular OTA version?

Last week I pulled the plug, unlocked my Z3 Compact and -after some fiddling- managed to install this ROM. Great piece of work by the way! :good: My phone seems to be on steroids, and battery life feels to be even better than with the old stock ROM.

Anyway, at some point I would like to switch from the "homemade" version linked in the OP to the "regular" version which has the OTA update feature. What is the recommended way to do this? Does a "dirty" flash have the chance to work? Or would you rather do a clean flash?

On a lighter note, I had problems after a clean flash of the omni-8.1.0-20180211-z3c-nailyk.zip version from releases.nailyk.fr/omni/z3c/. The phone presented a firework of all kinds of error messages, I was not able to restore my apps and basically it was unusable. So I went back to the "homemade" version and will be waiting for an update of the "regular" version.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] smorgar:
Is omni-8.1.0-20180209-z3c-nailyk.zip the latest release?

Any known major bugs?

Rekkt my pixel2 and im falling back on my z3c but its on 6.0.1 and oktober 2016 patch :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] FordPrefect:
You mean the one linked in the OP? There is a site with the "official" unofficial versions: https://releases.nailyk.fr/omni/z3c/ and the newest version (according to the file names) is from Feb 11.

But please see my post right before yours ... at least for myself the Feb 11 version did not work properly.

On the other hand, myself I'm very new to the z3c custom ROMs, so please bear with my ignorance ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
List of bug are in #2. Cross read z3/z3c thread (same devices)

Probably some flash problem. You should try again.

HOMMADE and OTA one should be compatible. Sames sources, etc... AFAICT [MENTION=4901061]mcgi5sr2[/MENTION] included the OTA change in the release so it ""should"" receive OTA anyway.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] cesar65:
Last Sunday I installed the 0211 version from nailyk's server. Came from the homemade version and did a dirty flash. Everything went 100% smoothly so far.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] FordPrefect:
Pardon my uneducated question ... if that's the case, how would I trigger the OTA update? Or does it rather start automatically under the hood?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
Both ;)

Trigger is under system update, in device information.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] FordPrefect:
Hmmm, in Settings -> System -> System Updates for me it states "Update of 8.1.0-20180209-z3c-HOMEMADE not possible" :confused:

Anything I need to do in preparation of an OTA update?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
Interesting. Maybe you will need to manually revert to z3c-nailyk builds then.

Anyway I provided OTA for comfort. Will not spend time on this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] FordPrefect:
no worries ;) Just being curious ... and always feeling challenged by technical things that don't work as I want them to :D

This ROM is simply amazing! My good old z3c is flying ... and this combined with long battery life :svetius:

For me, it all started when I was thinking to myself I should look into getting a new, more "up-to-date" phone. And now I can have this! Thanks a lot! I will spend some of the saved money into a bigger sdcard ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Zero_Sherd:

I use Xposed module called "Android NavBar Buttons" for this. My preference is to set NavBar height to 150%, but it also has other options.

Recently I also lost sensitivity un the upper right part of the screen, such a shame...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] G_SC:
Hi, looks nice!

What steps do you have make for the update?

On my device i dont´t found any update button :(

Looks like, when the omni-8.1.0-20180209-z3c-HOMEMADE.zip was installed first, then Z3C was updateed to omni-8.1.0-20180211-z3c-nailyk.zip the Update will not avaiable?!

How I can fix this without full reset? :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] nailyk:
You know am providing the update right ? Am building everyday to ensure there are no breaks and flashing almost Once a week all my devices to test the pending patches set :eek:

It seems there will be no way to use OTA updates to switch from HOMEMADE to nailyk builds because the rom name is different.

However updates should be fully compatible and be able to be flashed as an update.

And if it doesn't work, well.... We are still in beta and you have backups :angel:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
Wich Version are U using?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] G_SC:
Of course I have a backup ;)

Now I have reset my Z3C and installed flash new the omni-8.1.0-20180211-z3c-nailyk.zip, but my Z3C don´t update to march 2018 update :(

was it the mystery to update? :eek:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] cesar65:
One possible reason is that a March update does not exist yet.
