There is not root by default. Also adb root is disabled on user builds for security reasons. If you need root you can flash whatever rooting solution you desire, like Magisk.

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Daniel_Lechu:
Hello,

Just today I've lost my wifi connections. My wifi is off and I can change the switch to power on wifi connection, and I've the same problem with WiFi hotspot.

I've tried to restart the phone and clear cache but still no working, and I'm sure that is not a hardware problem because I've tested to clear data and works, and just restore the backup and it fails again.

Is there any way to fix this problem without hard reset the phone?

Thanks!!

Edit: fixed. I've search for the WiFi folder and I've fixed the problem just renaming /data/misc/wifi and rebooting.

Greetings

I can confirm with newest TWRP from here (2018-06-16 release)

there's no need to change or reflash the TWRP.

Just fastboot flash FOTAKernel and everything works fine.

Even after flashing ROM+Gapps+Magisk TWRP doesnt get lost :)

Also for everyone who hates the ****ty MTP Protocol:

You can mount your SD-Card as a Mass-storage-device (MSC-Mode) by using this app.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] alagga:
For me System doesnt get mounted as r/w (or at least not correctly).

For example [I am not able to change hosts file (in adaway)] nor am i able to delete folders or files in system/priv-app. (Deleting files from system/app is possible, whole folders cant be deleted there either.)

Is it a Problem with Magisk or has anybody the same Problems ?

Also fast charging doesnt work. It takes more than 2 hours to fully charge.

Edit: Got the hosts Problem fixed within the Magisk settings (allow systemless hosts). But the others remain

Should we expect android pie soon?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] ArtSard:
Hello everyone.

Sony Z3 Dual.

What i found so far:

1. My 'favorite' wifi region problem. In deodexed ROMs i've patched telephony-common.jar to force WIFI using hardcoded country code value (and copy .jar on every update). It looks like in odexed version it's more tricky (for me) to achieve same result.

There is xposed solution of WIFI fix. It works, but xposed is breaking SafetyNet - i've tryed to set it from recovery and systemless version via Magisk modules. Same result. May be there is some special version exists...

2. Google Pay (when SafetyNet is OK) don't react on POS terminal. Not sure, it was before last GPay update, need to try again

3. TWRP 3.2.2 recovery. I tryed all ways i've found in thread - all with no success. It can be booted via "fastboot boot twrp_3.2.2.img" but not able to boot as partition (hard buttons, ROM reboot menu).

Using Omni ROM boot image - twrp3.2.2 loading, but ROM not booting ofc.

Now i using TWRP 3.1.2, for most cases it's enough.

omniclock starts when charging begins

Does anybody know, how I can stop my phone doing this?

It is not funny, when I'm driving with navigation and all of a sudden omniclock is on the screen and can hardly be stopped.

(I'm using the magnetic charge port, which is not always stable. though each time when regaining connection, starts omniclock)

I guess it's very easy, but I simply don't find the clue :(

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dixxhead:
Guys, I finally updated my GFs z3c with carbon rom, everything works but the main camera just remains black.... front facing camera works. This happens both in the stock camera app, aswell as other apps trying to use the camera (whatsapp for example)

The camera worked without any issues in stock rom!

It‘s strange because it all works flawlessly on my phone. Tried to search the thread for similiar issues but couldn‘t find anything.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] alagga:
I think most people are using the Sony Camera port + Cyberian.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] okij:
Install Xposed framework. If you are already using Magisk I'd recommend to install the Xposed Framework (SDK 27) 90.2-beta3 (Systemless) Magisk Module.

Install Disable Desk Dock 1.0 Xposed Module.

Unfortunately there is no system setting for disabling the Desk Dock mode (which is invoked every time you plug the magnetic charger), so this is the only way to disable it. BTW, it was the same problem even on stock ROMs, that's why I'm using Disable Desk Dock for several years now. :)

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

If the camera hardware is OK, it's likely that the information in the folder "data/credmgr" is faulty (probably because you restored a backup from another Z3c?) and you have to delete it, see this post.

Good luck and please leave some feedback if this works for you. :)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Dixxhead:
Thx so much okij! Now it all works and the evening is saved, hehe. ;)

Very strange though, since I didn't do any restore other than the one from the google servers. Guess that might have been enough to corrupt it all.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] okij:
GF happy = evening saved, hehe. ;)

I'm glad that I could help!

I kept a bookmark of the post that I gave you in case I want to restore a TWRP backup from my 1st Z3c to my 2nd. I didn't need this yet, but the credmgr stuff is device specific and breaks the camera on a different device.

But I don't think that the credmgr files are backed up on Google servers since AFAIK they are Sony specific. They must have been corrupted by something else on your GFs Z3c.

Hey guys,

as I'm pretty new to XDA first of all a big thanks to this great community and of course the dev Myself5 and the whole CarbonROM team for bringing an up-to-date life to our device. It might be slightly off-topic, but it's really a shame, that such fine hardware gets abandoned by its manufacturers.

I've been using this ROM together with MindTheGApps for two weeks now and it works absolutely flawlessly. The only exception being Google Pay via NFC, but this was something expected and I know there are workarounds.

I originally installed the September build and upgraded to the October release OTA. Even this works fully-featured with the latest TWRP from

https://xdaforums.com/z3/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-0-leo-t3837167

This is by the way the only recovery I could find into which you can reboot from the running ROM. And it enables installing both ROM and GApps without the hassle of up- and downgrade cycles.

The only regression I stumbled upon is that all app permissions got reset after the upgrade. But I'm afraid I'm unable to name the culprit.

So keep up the fantastic and hard work, thanks again

Just installed about 5 days and trying to investigate the rom.

So this far carbon is the STABLE ROM for D6603 running OREO, honestly i think only battery issue because draining so fast and sometimes charging indicator/level not correctly when trying to recharge on low battery condition less than 15%.

To making right battery level i have to turn off the phone and charging with phone off. However, this rom very stable and good. Just need to improve about battery issue.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] alfan.y:
The battery got draining so crazy on D6603 :( :crying:

Back to 5.1 for a while....
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] TheZajic:
I am using this ROM for few days and did not experience any deal-braking issues at all. I got usually about 2 to 5 hours screen time, low to moderate use of my Z3. I am using messenger, google apps and phone + messages and I watch few videos on YOUTUBE, I rarely game on my phone. Mobil data, gps and WiFi always on. Most of the day I am on WiFi. My launcher is Nova Launcher. (Android 8.1.0, CarbonROM CR-6.1-NOCT-RELEASE-z3-20181013-2001, Xperia Z3 D6603, MindTheGapps-8.1.0-arm...).

Yeah I agree, this ROM is very stable and good. But when recording a video, frame rate of preview drops quite low, like 10 fps, but after save, the video is absolutely normal, so this is just a minor issue.

Have a nice day.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nailyk:
You should have an issue.

Start clean then try again. With sim card (no ggl malware) I easily reach 3 days. Without sim card is around 1 week.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] alfan.y:
:(:(What can i say... This Rom so stable and fast, so i decided to used it even have to faceoff with my battery issue (Fresh install, using openGapp).

*still no idea for this issue, waiting for update

One thing, it's seems the data connection a bit lag, compare than 5.1. It felt when browsing and download (wifi/mobile data) most happen on first connection or execute the link, sometimes drop and have to click again (seen from data traffic at statusbar). I try to figure out with Chrome Kiwi Yandex, they all same.

*no idea, waiting for update

Also i found on whatsapp, the messages sometimes not automatically update, i have to trigger the phone by turning on the screen because data indicator taking idle a bit longer, no incoming/outgoing data.

accept and enjoy it as it is :(

Another question :

Is anyone success installed Dolby Atmos on D6603 Carbon+ Supersu? I got stuck on boot logo. Thanks.

*already "solved" using Dolby Digital Plus as an alternative :laugh::good: --> here
