ok, thanks!!

btw: I just tried with twrp_z3_2018-03-18.

Successfully installed CR6.1.

No access to recovery (via reboot or vol"-" power-on)

I'll wait for a working TWRP - anyway, thanks for your work and your help so far!!

[MENTION=8821471]Popploud[/MENTION]

here is the link to the twrp which I use at the moment:

https://releases.nailyk.fr/twrp/twrp_z3_2018-03-28.img

( I can't upload my twrp which I have on the computer; file is to big)

I use the Fastboot command FOTAKernel (via Windows Powershell) to flash it. And I don't whether you know it but in the newer recoveries the phone don't vibrate twice when it's booting the recovery. Just one vibration. And I hold the hardware keys as long as I get the twrp screen with the logo.

Hopefully that works for you.

I tested it on my device, too. I come with this twrp version into the recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Daniel_Lechu:
Wow, carbon rom!!!. Thanks!!!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] gonzal86:
CR6.1 have another "boot.img". When instal Rom from TWRP 2018, this "boot.img" cleaning TWRP.

Looks like "boot.img" dont have TWRP inside, or its broken, but boot works fine.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
Then it's weird that my twrp remains if i flash the weeklies from CR 6.1.

For example i flash the last weekly build (24.4.2018) without problems and my twrp from 2018 wasn't touch.

Sure that the CR 6.1 Builds kill the twrp through boot.img? I can't confirm this.

And for me it would be new that a boot.img from a Custom Rom have a build-in Recovery. I think the problem is the twrp itself not the boot.img from CR.

How do you know that the boot.img from CR 6.1 is the problem?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Popploud:
maxi16:

maxi16, thanks for your hint!

This is the file I already used (I just compared md5).

In terms of holding keys I tried everything ...

When I continue holding the vol "-", system is booting.

When I continue holding "power" and vol "-", the Sony start screen shows up, LED changing from violet to kind of orange. Then screen gets black for a couple of seconds, then shows the start screen again etc.

vol "+" brings up a slightly different behaviour but no solution.

When I stop pressing buttons, system is booting normally.

No way to access twrp

:confused:

Just guessing: might another Firmware for the phone help?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
Ok until black screen it is as is should be.

I have a Guess. I know that the z3 has different bootloader version (that depends on the previous installed stock Firmware).

In your case it sounds like a bootloader problem (The only thing which i can imagine off).

Maybe it helps when you install/update the bootloader new.

The bootloader which come with the stock marshmelllow should be the newest (official).

But for that you need Emma. At this point i can't help you. I never use Emma to get back to stock rom.

I would be careful when you try it.

And that's my guess. So no warranty that i'm right.

You don't have any errors when you flash the twrp?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] saedkebbeh:
I think he has the dual sim variant of Xperia z3

I faced the same problem before, I fell back to the old version of twrp

I think it's twrp related

I am sure I got the latest bootloader
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
Sounds logicallly.

I hadn't even thought about that.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Popploud:
I have an ordinary D6603 single SIM variant.

Does anybody have an idea what I can do?

Unfortunately, I'm just a bloody amateur ...

[MENTION=8404612]maxi16[/MENTION]: no errors when flashing twrp. Upgrading, downgrading, no problem.

It's just, that I can't access it anymore, once the CR6.1 is installed and once booted.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] saedkebbeh:
I am facing the same problem bro,

What is the version of your bootloader?!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
[MENTION=425252]poop[/MENTION]loud

Ok then i'm out. Sorry?

No idea anymore. I would wait until nailyk releases a new fixed Version. He already said that the tests run at the moment.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Br4no:
Heeey,

Had the same problem. Did you try:

- phone off, hold volume down + power???

Should boot into the recovery. Before I flashed the ROM I was able to enter twrp by whatever option. After flashing just phone off + volume down worked.

I have twrp 3.1.1-3

And have you flashed boot.IMG from cr to boot partition???

Which version of bootloader do you have???

I'm on the latest, so maybe that's the problem.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] diyor_95:
Hello there!

Anyone faced the problem of echo - caller hears voice of himself while speaking.

And other issue - is there any way to increase max power / volume of headphones and speakers? Mods for android 6.0 / 7.1 are not working for me and I did not find mixer_paths.xml at system/etc at android 8.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Popploud:
pooploud - thats a nice variant, thanks maxi16 :good:

- how do I find out which bootloader-version I have?

I connected the device to Emma, which gave me the following information:

Software: Application Software: 1282-2729 23.5.A.1.291

Customization: CDF: 1288-7827 R4D

Boot: 1286-7314 S1_Boot_MSM8974AC_LA3.0_M_3

DRM: Marlin + CKB

Security State: HWC_ShinanoR2_Com_001

The following "Services" are suggested to be installed on the phone:

D6603 23.1.A.1.28 Customized_NCB 1288-5531 R11C User-Live COM

D6603 23.4.A.1.200 Customized_NCB 1288-5531 R17C User-Live COM

D6603 23.5.A.0.575 Customized_NCB 1288-5531 R9D User-Live COM

is anyone of these useful in my case?

Yes, I did, please see my previous posts.

I installed the CR6.1 .zip file with TRWP. I didn't change anything else.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] lucky7lucky:
Great ROM

I also did the steps as described in this thread:

- download ROM and md5sum file; the MD5 check fails because the path in the .md5sum file is wrong and needs to be adapted

- put ROM CARBON-CR-6.1-NOCT-WEEKLY-z3-xxx.zip + GAPPS e.g.: open_gapps-arm-8.1-mini-20180414.zip to SD-Card

- Flash new TWRP via fastboot "twrp_z3_O_2018-03-28" (TWRP 3.2.1-2) with: fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp_z3_2018-03-28.img

- boot into TWRP with power-off, hold power and volume-

- Factory reset in TWRP.

- Install CARBON-CR-6.1-NOCT-WEEKLY-z3-xxx.zip ROM; Do not power up phone, to not configure this without the GAPPS;

- Downgrade TWRP via fastboot to "twrp_leo_2017-10-02" (TWRP 3.1.1-3) with: fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp_leo_2017-10-02.img

- Install Gapps for 8.1 ARM e.g.: open_gapps-arm-8.1-mini-20180414.zip.

- Power up phone so it is configuring the ROM and the GAPPS

After that the all was working fine so far with some minor issues:

- the SD card notification symbol is always visible, even after selecting the SD card it is there;

- a connected bluetooth loudspeaker works, but the volume control does not work as expected; the volume increases until 50%, then at 55% it is quiet and increasing the volume until 100% it is the same level as with 50%. (with the xkeitas ROM lineage-15.0-20171118_020851-DEVPREVIEW-xkeita-z3.zip, I also had problems with the bluetooth volume, there the volume level steps were too big for pressing the volume button once)

- the front camera quality is really bad, but I don't care too much about it

- fotos with HDR do not work, so you get black pictures

- the weekly update process does not work out of the box; It downloads the update ROM, restarts, the orange LED is on, then sony black screen, then violet LED, then Carbon starts normal without an update; so I tried holding power and volume- without success; So I thought the TWRP version probably does not support it, and I upgraded again to (TWRP 3.2.1-2) with: fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp_z3_2018-03-28.img . A manual update with this TWRP worked well then. Before I downloaded the carbon ROM I updated everything with the Sony Emma tool, so I don't think it is about the bootloader, but please correct me if I am wrong

I like that ROM a lot, good job guys!!! I wish Carbon ROM would also work for the Z1C ;)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
@ Pooploud

The bootloader version stands in the boot line.

So in your case it seems to be 'LA3.0_M_3'

You can also type this command to show the bootloader version:

getprop ro.boot.s1boot (in my case the command don't works; no idea why)

The weird thing is (my opinion) that your bootloader isn't mention in nailyks thread in the OP.

So two possibilities:

Either your bootloader is just named differently or you have a Version which nailyk doesn't test yet.

That could explain your problem.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Popploud:
would an update via Emma help?

I guess, I would get an updated factory ROM - is there also another bootloader included?

does this transaction work without problems after all the chances I've made (twrp, CR6.1)?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] ASPHALT5:
Latest version has Magisk Root integrated :D
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
Good to know. I already wondered why i don't have to flash Magisk in twrp anymore after flash the last build. That explains that.

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

It could. But at this point i'm not sure. I believe you touch a TA partition by this process and when then something goes wrong you have a big problem.

So would wait and look whether the new twrp solves the problems then.

In the case you must update your bootloader see this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/z3/general/guide-xperia-z-boot-process-explained-t3359510

But the question is would it a update or downgrade a bootloader in your case. I have no idea whether it is possible to downgrade the bootloader.

Apart from this i can't say what influence it has to twrp etc.

And whether you bootloader remain unlocked.

I think this a good question for the thread i link you. And for the thread from the twrp of nailyk.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] marshallracer:
Flashing with EMMA should not mess around too much with the TA partition (backups from older bootloader versions won't work with newer ones and vice versa)

DRM keys shouldn't be lost by that procedure anyway if anybody at this point still would be at stock (I tried, DRM functions are still intact)

[

edit:

I looked at the thread again, you need an unlocked bootloader for EMMA anyway so yeah, if you're worried about TA and DRM .. yeah]

Also from the bootloader thread, the 7th post mentions that by reflashing one of the Sony M/N Concept roms the bootloader will be overwritten by another, older (I think) version (called Hero bootloader, read the thread)

so technically yeah, it is possible (if I gathered the information correctly)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] AllCrash:
Hello everybody, I just switched to this Rom and so far everything is super! Thanks for the great job.

In omnirom there was an option to hide qs on lock screen. I think is a very fundamental security option to have, do you think would be possible to implement in one of the next updates?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nhojeric214:
I really seem to cant install this rom even though i followed the instructions correctly but cant install gapps

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] santeria27:
"1. Fastboot -> Flash TWRP-2018-03-28

2. Boot to recovery (Vol "-" and Power)

3. Wipe System, Data and Cache

4. Install CR6.1 (+Magisker if needed)

5. Shutdown Phone

6. Fastboot -> Flash TWRP-2017-03-26 or similar

7. Boot to recovery (Vol "-" and Power)

8. Install GApps 8.1*

9. Reboot"

i do nr

Try this works for me

Got a workaround by deleting the getbuildprop lines from the updater script then flashing 10-2017 twrp. Works good
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Daniel_Lechu:
Hello,

Camera video record still broken?.

I'm on OmniRom that is able to record video with latest build (20180320), but it has a green area on right side of the video and for now there is no update to fix it, so I'm thinking about to switch to Carbon.

Another question that is mandatory: how is battery life with this rom?

Thanks!!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nhojeric214:
Deleting getprop lines from script seems to be the only way to make this rom boot with gapps.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
For all the people who only needs GCM and Play Store Access from Gapps i can suggest MicroG (it's beta/alpha but for my scope it works without problems).

For this it's not necessary to change the mentioned lines here.

Just a downgrade from the twrp is necessary.

I'm not sure but i believe that the other GApps Parts should work too ( i'm not test it yet for all)

But it at least a few works (can confirm it for Maps)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] director69:
Hello everybody. I installed last build (4-1). Everythig is perfect. I come from linage 14.1 and I did the following:

1) edit Carbon_____.zip and modified updater script (delete all getprop lines)

2) Factory reset in twrp 3.1 2017-8-25

3) installed ROM zip and MindGapps

4) Boot (Perfect!)

5) then installed Magisk, Cam.zip and Cyberian (photos OK)

6) Footej for Video

7) Titanium, Nova, etc. for apps. No problems

Remember to edit updater script and you won't need to change the twrp.

FM radio works. DTW works.

If you feel sound could be better, AINUR works very fine for my taste (via Magisk). I also installed forcedoze and greenefy (maybe I'm a little paranoid)

I miss cursors buttons at the edges of the navigation bar (solved. Keys 21 and 22), and center as an option to clock at status bar (but its just my preferences)

Works perfect. Soon will report battery performance (I dont play games). Thank you Myself5

Cant play music with any music app in the latest build. Says my music filed are corrupted. Previously on omnirom i didn't have any problems
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
I can report a similar error.

Only on the internal storage i can play my music.

I formated my SD card because i thought mayby the SD card is broken but i the problem remain.

And i can access the SD card via file browser on my z3 and on my computer so i don't think that the SD card is the problem.

Mayby the problem are permissions which CR 6.1 make on the SD card. I checked the permissions with a root file manager and the the music files in the internal storage are different from them on the SD card.

Internal Storage: 0660

SD card: 0755

But that a guess. I will make a logfile in the next days.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] AllCrash:
Same problem here!!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
All music files or only the ones who you save on the SD card?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] AllCrash:

Error in Vanilla?

I have the same problem with playing music-files that are on my external SD-card using "vanilla" music player. If I use a file-manager to browse the music folder, i'm able to add titles to vanilla's playlist from there

and in doing so vanilla also plays them.

I added vlc-player to test the issue: After it's scan of the music files on my external sd-card,

vlc is also able to play them

. My conclusion: The error message seems to be a bug in vanilla

My CR6.1-Version is from 18-05-01.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
I have the problem with JetPlayer, Player Pro and Musicolet (all from Play Store).

So it affects third party player on my device too.

I force a new scan too but nothing change.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nhojeric214:
Even in vanilla the problem still persists. Might be a bug in the rom itself
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] AllCrash:
I'm using the Sony music player and I have this problem.

Let's hope it will be fixed soon
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] kall3:
That was my conclusion: Vanilla has a bug! In my opinion, it is not the rom, whereas vlc has no problems in scanning, indexing and playing music files from an external sd-card on CR6.1 (2018-05-01 with Magisker installed) on my device (Xperia Z3)!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] AllCrash:
But why then 3rd party players don't work as well?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] wmg.architect:
Please I have some yellow color overlay in lock screen..how do I remove it? I believe it is something in display settings but I couldn't find it
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] director69:
JetAudio Player works fine. Even flac
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Daniel_Lechu:
The most 3rd party players also fails. I've tested about 8 players and only three works: VLC, jetaudio and Music Player (from store). Other like Google Music, Sony Walkman, Vanilla... fails.

I've to test if happen the latest version or happen in older versions too.

Greetings!!

EDIT: Confirmed, it happens with 20180501 but 20180424 works fine ;)

Looks like latest build is bugged, because I've noticed some things that are not working like for example:

Music Play from some apps

Vibration and power on the screen on charger connector

Charge status on lock screen (battery voltage, time left...).

For now I've not tested more things, and I've used the latest version only one day, so maybe there are more.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
Is it ok for you when i link your post in the bug report section of Carbon Rom Website?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Daniel_Lechu:
No problem ;), but i don't have any log to share...

Greetings!!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] maxi16:
Thx.

No problem reagarding logs. I make some. At least for the thing with the 3rd music players.
