Hi, if friend, you need to have the bootloader unlocked, you can follow a guide or tutorial right here in the forum (I followed the OmniRom using the Emma) or you can unlock the bootloader with the ADB program.

Once unlocked, you must install the TWRP and place the ROM carbon, GAPPS and Magisk 16.0+ in your mobile memory.

How to install:

1- you first do a factory reset on the TWRP

2- Install the ROM

3- Install the Magisk

4- TRWP downupgrade version

5- Install the GAPPS

6- Swipe data and cache

7 - Reboot

Note: You should not start the phone at any time otherwise you will have problems with Google applications among others.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Tux111:
He just asked if that phrase mean that his bootloader is unlocked.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] thechecker87:
Hi Gummito

using this Tut i start in recovery everytime. OS dont load.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] arpit4u2u:
any update on VoLTE ??
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Gummito:
first you must have unlocked the bootloader and install a ROM for example the one mentioned (with the EMMA) http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/

Then you start the phone, you configure USB debugging.

Then install the TWRP (in my case for Xperia z3) https://xdaforums.com/z3/development/z3-twrp-2-8-7-0-d6603-t3273996

Then, you place the ROM Carbon, Gapps, and Magisk in the memory of your phone.

After you enter in the recovery mode, you go to the Swipe option and you do factory reset, then you go to install, you install the Rom Carbon and the Magisk (I install the beta version 16.14)

Once installed, do not start the phone, with the ADB (in my case) install an older version of the TWRP and then enter again in recovery mode and install the Gapps.

once Completed, delete data and cache. and start the phone.

Once everything works, you must install the newest TWRP again in order to install any update of the ROM.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] orangzeb:
If you're not allowed to unlock BL then I guess you can't install this ROM, try Existenz, which is also good and stock based ROM.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Tux111:
You cant unlock your bootloader, so you can only install stock or stock based roms.

Hello. On last 2 builds - if i put in SIM-Card, Wi-fi doesn`t connetct. if phone works without sim - wifi works.

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] alagga:
Can someone tell me? :)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
Do you mean the normal usb storage mode? If yes this rom has this because it's in android itself.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly so sry if i understood it wrong.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] alagga:
The normal mode is the mtp mode (which can connect the sdcard and internal memory to the pc).

With MSC you can access only the sdcard, but in the regular way (as Massstorage device) and not over the ****ty mtp protocol..

The option should be available in USB options when you Plug device to PC

Thanks in advance :)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
Hi i checked it just a few minutes ago.

Unfortenately i don't get the option which you described.

In the developer options i couldn't choose a MSC mode.

I can only choose between charging, PTP (picture transfer) and MTP (then i have the internal memory and the SD card in the explorer) when i connect my z3 to the PC.

So it doesn't seem that this rom have your mentioned storage mode.

Hi guys! Please help me! When I try to install Opengapps (arm 8.1 stock, nano, full, no matter) TWRP gives an error "wrong architecture". TWRP version 3.2 from 03.28.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
Downgrade your twrp. At the Moment you can't install gapps with newest twrp.

I believe it should working with the twrp from 2.10.2017.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nhan1411:
For the update. Do we need to clean flash or just dirty flash to keep the data?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] darjwx:
Dirty flash should work fine. If you run into any issues, which you shouldn't, then clean flash.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] SAMSUNG_MANIX_64:
if anyone is having trouble installing rom error 7,

unzip rom latest version,then open up the file C:\Users\yourname\whereeveryourfileis\CARBON-CR-6.1\META-INF\com\google\android

then inside android there should be a file called updater-script edit this in notepad ++ and delete anything before this line

ifelse(is_mounted("/system"), unmount("/system"));

(what this does is stops TWRP from registering that this is the incorrect rom for your device in which case you will be able to install on any version of TWRP)

then all you need to do is save the updater-script that you just edited, select all files inside unzipped Rom, re zip it with WinRAR make sure you have selected to zip format not rar format, then you can flash with no problems without having to stuff around with downgrading TWRP etc..

Hi guys

I need your help or better advice.

I'm not completly sure whether this is the right place to ask but i thinking about to try another kernel. At the moment i use the stock kernel (i guess so because i don't change anything in that direction ).

Unfortantely i never done this so i have some questions regarding this.

1. Are there any good custom kernels and which work without problems with this rom and on the z3? Mayby some of you use a custom kernel.

2. How can i install them? Flashing via twrp as custom Roms?

3. Make it sense for this rom/the device?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Tux111:
Custom kernel on omnirom thread. Join the discord server channel.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Hulk8181:
Pls fix issues

Dear Developers,

While I play multiplayer games on android, battery drains a lot faster then it should. Pls include some kind of battery optimizer / battery saver. It will be very helpful in this regards.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
You know, sometimes I wonder what people expect their 4 year old device to perform like when running modern games. Would you expect your 4 year old PC to run Forza Horizon 4 at 4K 60FPS while not making a single noise and not using any power at all? Probably not.

So why do you expect a phone whichs battery is exposed to daily degradation to "not drain so fast" (which isn't very scientific either)?

It's not like your phone is consuming so much power cause its badly configured. It's because its a 2014 device trying to handle 2018 games which brings it to its limits.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Hulk8181:
CHILLS

Dear Developer,

I was using this with stock rom, then upgraded it with carbon 5.1, then upgraded it with carbon 6.1. Your roms are magnificent. Previous version of 6.1 which has bugs that had a goods battery lifetime. But after the bugs are gone in the new update, i am facing battery issues. I don't expect it to serve 6 hours or so but a couple isn't quite right. I only play clash of clan/clash royale/zynga poker. I don't think this are even close to heavy games.

A big thank you for your time.:good:
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] orangzeb:
I formatted sdcard as internal. Now the update won't flash as twrp won't recognize sd card. How can I make twrp recognize the sd card?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Br4no:
You can always sideload the update.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] orangzeb:
Sorry but what does that mean?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Cush83:
what version of magisk did you watch for z3 on this rom?

which version of twrp?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Br4no:
If you have problem with standard flash, use adb sideload instead:

https://twrp.me/faq/ADBSideload.html

Connect your phone and pc via usb cable. Place your file.zip somewhere to HDD, start sideload feature from twrp and call the command "adb sideload file.zip" from command line.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] alpia87:
After flash twrp don't work.

Sorry for my bad english.:(

I tried all the combinations but the phone always starts normally.

bootloader is unlocked.

my procedure is: downgrade to .93, root to giefroot, Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.

at this point I can do all the operations in recovery mode.

i flashed new twrp (twrp_leo_2017-10-02) because in Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined is old.

after WIPE i flashed CR6.1, DRM function restore V3, gapps and magisk.

after these procedures my phone starts normally and works very well but does not go into recovery mode.

What did I do wrong?

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] alpia87:
If you refer to "TWRP_Z3_2018-03-28.img" it has already been tested with the key combination: vol - power.

cm rom overwrites the boot.img file

The recovery does not start.

The solution can be FOTAkernel flash?

If I have the wrong recovery, where do I find the new one?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
I use always the Fotakernel command for the twrp and i never lost my twrp. I just updated at the weekend to latest build of CR and can enter twrp without problems (with Hardware buttons)

I hope I have no problems with bootloader.

Thanks so much.

My bootloader version:

1286-7314_S1_Boot_MSM8974AC_LA3.0_52-2
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
Sometimes my phone hangs at the Sony logo or CR Logo.

I don't know whether this is caused by the fotakernel or on my phone itself. In that case a hard reboot (power + vol button) works by me.

Just in the case you noticed the same behavior.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] alpia87:
What do you advise me to do?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
Well if you notice that as i said hard reboot. For it's a way to fix it (at least for a while).

It's strange. I don't see any pattern. It just happened sometimes.

Probably it's only on my device. Then you shouldn't get any problem. As said i have no idea what exactly cause this behavior on my phone. And it doesn't break the ROM. It's only a little annoying.

So sry but the only thing which i can advise you is the mentioned hard reboot.

If any other user have a idea (or Myself5) i open for solution suggestions.

Edit: Oh sorry i thought we were still by this hard reboot thing. I oversee your picture.

I tried fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp_z3_2018-03-28.img

I received a positive reply. It all seems done and I was almost happy, then I tried all the combinations but in recovery does not enter.

How can I do?

* power + down. long

* power + down. when it vibrates

* power + down. when it vibrates I leave power

* also power + up

It does not go into recovery in any way.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] RoyFAR:
Try with oldschool command prompt instead of powershell...I use it and it worked. Btw does your USB debugging already enabled?

To enter that twrp version first do not power on your device, just hold power+vol down untill you see twrp menu/logo then release the buttons.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] alpia87:
I just tried with the oldschool method. the outcome is positive but recovery does not start with all the key combinations.

The purple LED turns orange then reboots with the sony logo and starts carbon rom in a normal way.

My usb debugging is active.

Can my bootloader be the problem?

1286-7314_S1_Boot_MSM8974AC_LA3.0_52-2

I read somewhere that I have to update the bootloader with EMMA.

Maybe I have to start from a rooted stockrom?

CR accept the flash on FOTAKernel?

Yes, you have to update the bootloader via emma.

Is CR 6.1 a battery drainer?

I have installed CR-6.1-NOCT-WEEKLY-z3-20180605-0546 on my Z3 D6603 and I'm really happy with it.

First, big thanks to the developers for their excellent work.

Three weeks ago my wife got herself a Z3 D6603 too, but she didn't want to install a custom ROM. So I just did a factory reset without changing anything else, no deactivated bloatware etc.

Whereas my phone lasts a day and a couple of hours, hers can be used without charging between 2 or 3 days. Our usage habits are quite similar.

:confused::confused:

I checked my battery status with Phone Tester (app from Miguel Torres, via playstore), health status: good.

Can the fast battery consumption be due to CR 6.1 or is it the battery that has to be changed?

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
After trying to understand your admittably more than cryptic question, I assume that you intended to ask why we're not using the 3GB RAM config for dalvik settings, so effectively asking why this commit exists (https://github.com/CarbonROM/android_device_sony_z3/commit/c7277d5b57888727a200002057217abe2507babc). The answer to that is because the 3GB dalvik is causing issues with big games (as described here: https://xdaforums.com/z3/orig-development/8-1-x-carbonrom-cr-6-1-t3771546/post76671928#post76671928 ) causing them to FC. We discovered that after quite a while when inspecting the shamu devicetrees where Google is doing the same (3GB HWUI and 2GB Dalvik).
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] vietlinhukk:
I find the configuration of dalvik 3g ram is the most optimal operation. it is very smooth, very good game but fc. why not try to fix the fc error, making the android background 8 support dalvik 3gb configuration. android 7 with that configuration no error occurred at all

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

After changing to the 2gb dalvik configuration, I saw performance drop dramatically. I hope that the developer will try to put the 3gb configuration into rom
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
As said. I spent countless hours trying to fix it until I even just figured out what was causing it. There seems to be no other sane way to fix it properly, especially as even Google doesn't seem to bother fixing it (as said, those configs are used on the Nexus 6).

Hi folks,

what version of TWRP are you using with this ROM?

The last working version i found is 3.1.1-3

All the other/higher versions do not boot on my device.

My bootloaderversion is: LA3.0_M_3

Does anyone have a link for a flashable working *.ftf file with one of the recommended bootloaders?

Thanks in advance

Norbert
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] alpia87:
I hope you read the previous posts.

I had a lot of problems because carbon rom replaces the boot file and therefore renders twrp unusable.

so I suggest you:

1 update the bootloader with "EMMA"

2 flash the twrp file on FOTAKernel

first twrp_leo_2017-10-02

flash carbon rom, flash gapps, flash magisk (optional)

then twrp_z3_2018-03-28.

I hope to be helpful.

To camera: For me it's totally ok. Mayby not so good as in the original sony stock rom but i'm fine with the quality. And no big pixel artifacts or errors (at least at day).

To substratum: Should work as long as you activate third party theme overlays in the Carbon options.

Heating: My phone becomes warm but not hot. But i don't play much Games on the phone so i don't know how hot the phone would become with this rom and big heavy games. Sry.

Tx for reply. What am i gonna earn if i use this rom instead of nougat one? Also somebody told me that cyberian works with carbon oreo but only on super auto mode.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
Well for example a newer Android and reliable monthly security patches. For example Carbon on Nougat base doesn't get bug fixing or security patches anymore because all the devs work with Oreo and i guess soon with Android P.

And new things will only come to the Oreo Carbon.

For me this was the reason why i update to Carbon Oreo when it was released.

I think with other custom roms on Nougat basis it's similar.

It's up to you how important you find this aspect.

And regarding cyberian camera i don't know. For me the stock Carbon camera is enough.
