You said as its very simple. I know what you said but infact I was talking about the steps before installation...

I'll have to unlock the boot loader or not, something like these steps I was talking about.

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dhacke:
With that information i can work:)

So first be sure that you have the newest available stock firmware (i my memory it should be Android 6 Mashmellow).

The reason is that the bootloader version depends on the installed stock Firmware and the twrp which i use needs the newest bootloader.

And then you need to unlock the bootloader over the dev site from sony. In the newest xperia generation it is neccessary to use a special file with some parameters to boot a stock firmware after unlocking (but i didn't need that when unlock my z3).

I'm not complety sure but probably the unlocking leads to factory reset so backup important data before that.

After unlocking you can install the twrp and in the recovery then the custom rom.

PS: You need fastboot and the xperia usb drivers too (for the unlocking commands and installation of twrp)

PPS:

That's the twrp i'm using:

It means the slim rom 6.0.1 would be the best option then for me. Everything is pre-installed. But to install slim 6.0.1 I'll have to revert back ? to kit kat because that's easy to root with the help of kingroot
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dhacke:
I'm not sure whether this is best way.

Because when you rooted your phone with Kingroot (i don't really trust such rooting tools but that is a personal opinion) the ota function will break.

So you need to flash a newer Firmware via Emma or Flashtool and then the root is probably gone.

And for twrp the newest bootloader is the best.

Just my thougts about this way.

I can't say how this way will work because i rooted from the Android 6 Firmware.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] PioneerSeeker:
Sir! Do you know about this error of twrp

"updater process ended with error 7"

"updater process ended with error 6"

The 6 th error occurred when I solved the first error 7

Infact these both errors occurred during the zip installation of carbon rom.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dhacke:
Well i know error 7 because i had it too a long time ago (and mayby error 6, too; i'm not sure about this).

I need to update the twrp so i would suggest you to make it, too.

I'm using the last twrp from the twrp thread which i linked you and i don't have any problems with flashing CR.

There's a number of twrp and which one should I chose I'm confused ?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dhacke:
The one with that name:

twrp_z3_O_2018-10-27.img

According to the dates this should be the newest twrp for the z3.

Awesme rom!

Hey guys, thanks for the rom! Is pretty awesome and I loved it! I being having a problem the latest weeks, I dont know what is going on with my phone but the rom is getting a lot of problems, and I dont know why.

First it started to disconnect the WiFi, the weird thing about it is that i cant turn off WiFi.

Second the apps started to get buggy and they didn't work properly.

And some other problems.

I try to re flash the rom. I did several clean flashes and is not working.. same problems.. :(

I would like to get some help on how to create a log to check what is going on. Thanks!

Are you going to give the Carbon Rom 7 edition for Z3 it's own thread?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
There will be one soon along with a new build, yes. We need to sort out some remaining things first though.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
I just published a new Thread for CR-7.0. Alongside, that, a new build with fixed GPS has been released.

You can find it here: https://xdaforums.com/z3/orig-development/9-carbonrom-cr-7-0-t3906535

New CR-6.1 builds will still be released for as long as we havn't fixed the last few bugs on CR-7.0.

Please keep the CR-6.1 feedback in here and the CR-7.0 Feedback in the new thread from now on.

Happy flashing.

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] i noticed a big problem, idk if depends on my TWRP. I'm actually on Carbon ROM. Every time i receive an update, if i updated, the phone goes in TWRP, wipe, install, magisk etc. When i boot up the phone, it just....remain on previous release, withouth upgrading. This happened with many Carbon updates. Every time i upgrade (it select the right file, i checked) it just boot up with the same previous version. There is something wrong with carbon updates?

Workaround for launching camera with camera button when screen is off or phone locked

I finally found a workaround to start the stock Sony Camera app by long-pressing the camera button when the screen is off or the phone in lockscreen, so it resembles the functionality of Sony stock ROMs. :)

For this you need

Xposed framework. I didn't test it with [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION]'s original Xposed (SDK 27) v90.1-beta3 (which should work as well) since I switched to EdXposed v0.3.1.7_beta (which has the advantage of not tripping SafetyNet :cool:). You need to install the Magisk modules EdXposed v0.3.1.7_beta and Riru Core v17.1, as well as the app EdXposed Installer v2.2.4. Further information and discussion about EdXposed can be found here and here on xda.

Physical Button Master Control 4.0 beta6 Xposed module by [MENTION=5292510]Xspeed[/MENTION] (all credit for this module goes to him, you can find his xda thread here).

In Physical Button Master Control, you have to press the "+" sign to add a Basic chain with the following settings:

Name: enter "Launch Sony Camera"

for setting "Keys" up, in the dialogue select "Press & hold", set Delay to 300ms, press "Change", then press & hold camera button and press "OK" at the same time

for setting "Action" up, in the dialogue select "Other", "Launch activity", then in "Pick an application" choose "com.sonyericsson.android.camera.fastcapturing.FastCapturingActivity"

don't tick "Until key pressed/released"

leave Repeats at 0

set Vibration to 30ms

set Screen to "Screen Off + Lockscreen"

leave Audio at "Always"

leave Music at "Always"

leave Telephony at "Idle"

leave Notify at "No"

tick "Wake up the screen if off"

untick "Cancel original key functions"

save the profile by pressing the floppy disk symbol

When setting up "Action", it is important to use "Launch activity" as described above and not "Launch application" to pick the Sony Camera app. The reason is that launching the Sony Camera app normally isn't allowed in lockscreen, so the Sony devs implemented "com.sonyericsson.android.camera.fastcapturing.FastCapturingActivity" for this purpose.

There is a small difference to Sony stock ROMs though: You cannot take a picture by long pressing the camera button, because this just re-launches the camera app. Therefore I first only half press the camera button to focus and then just do a short press (less than 300 ms) on the camera button to take the picture.

Alternatively you can set "Screen" only to "Screen Off" instead of "Screen Off + Lockscreen". With this setting you can also long-press the camera button to take a picture, but you cannot launch the camera with the camera button in lockscreen, only when the screen is off.

[MENTION=4701751]potsau[/MENTION]: I tagged you because you wrote on this thread about the non-working camera button, so I hope this workaround is useful for you. :)

Im on the latest 6. 1 release and my battery drains over 20% overnight, is this normal for everyone else?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] PioneerSeeker:
No it's not normal. You should flash the stock version of gapps along with your cr6.1. This will help you a lot. And this will give smoothness to your Android system.

Can't update Carbon ROM, every update reboot with same old version....what's happening?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dhacke:
Do you use the carbon updater? Then you need to go in the recovery and manually flash the update over the rom zip file.

When remember correctly the updater just downloads the zip but is unable to boot into the recovery and installs the update there.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Tux111:
I tryied with carbon updater and manually from twrp too. It flash the ROM, boot up and....it still show the old/previous version, don't update...i dont understand how its possible....
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dhacke:
Hm indeed that is strange. Mayby it's just a issue in the rom and you have the newest version but it doesn't show you.

A good indicator could be the patch level date.

Beyond that i don't have a idea. I'm on the CR 7.0 beta carbon since a few months so i can't check it on my phone now.

Sry.

I'm getting this error "Error 7.. This package is only for D6602, D6603, D6643, D6653". The only info I found about it is that I need to install stock rom but that sounds kinda weird. Also if I need to do that, what is the correct version? AFAIK for root (or bootloader, dont remember) you needed to downgrade to older version. So, what to do?

E: it was old TWRP
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Br4no:
That's the problem.

You should not flash the recovery to boot partition in case of z3. Because of that you lost the rom.l (you replaced the kernel)

Flash your recovery using this command:

- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Replace recovery.img with your recovery image file.

OP format

i m a bit confused by the OP, at least in comparison with other ROMS.

it should contain some basic install info (eg unlocked bootloader/ upgraded bootloader), as well as a working/not working section (gps/video recording). i ve tried searching around the forum and the carbon various sites but to no avail.

well, my specific questions are

1. does it require the upgraded bootloader?

2. is gps working? (who on earth would ever use a phone without gps?!?)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Br4no:
1. Yes.

2. My gramma.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nikapos:

and your gramma wants a rooted phone with a newer rom? :)

No, sorry for misleading. My gramma would not be proud of me.

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

When I give this command in adb minimal to flash the recovery version 3.0 it works and adb says "ok" and when I go to recovery at boot by pressing the volume down button continuously it appears and works fine.

Whereas when I flash recovery 3.2 via minimal adb, the adb command says "ok" but when I reboot my phone to enter into recovery, there's no recovery. Same procedure by pressing the volume button continuously but what phone does it reboot again instead of entering into recovery. What I learnt that you can only flash the recovery 3.2 on a boot partition and your os is gone. No other way.

Edit

Download the 3.2 recovery in .zip format and flash 3.0 recovery via adb fastboot and then flash 3.2.3 recovery.zip by entering into 3.0 recovery, and no problem at all.

hi,

I have one question. Is it intended that in the newest release build (20190811) the security patch level stands on June 2019?

Shouldn't it be at August 2019?

Atm i'm a little bit wondering. I notice the same thing with the build of last month.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
Google still has not released any newer Oreo security patches than June. They did release a new tag for the Pixel C 2 days ago, which is merged on the new builds (Build ID is OPM8.190605.003 vs OPM8.190605.005) but nothing besides that. Lineage went with the approach of backporting Pie patches, which we might just follow but need to look into that first.

At this point it might just be easier to finish up the Pie bringup and finally go official with that.

Hi, I just switched to this ROM from LOS 14.1 and I am very impressed how fast this ROM is. Thanks a lot for the effort put into this!

Everything seems to work just fine except for one minor issue: When I connect to my cars Bluetooth music playback starts automatically, but the some sound comes from the phones speakers instead of the car speakers. Changing the song etc works from the cars controls however. If I stop playback and start again, it will play over the car speakers as it should.

So I need to stop and play the music everytime after connecting to my cars Bluetooth.

Has anyone else experienced this or is there anything I can try to make it play via Bluetooth on the first try?

Best regards, Peter
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
Why does the music start playing automatically in the first place? Is that a feature if your music player that you could possibly disable?

Both devices mentioned have a CR-7.0 thread. there would've been a way better place to begin with. And to answer the questions and get done with it:

"No ETA" for the XZ1, and "I don't even own the device" for the Z2.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] pgzh:
The play command is issued from the cars audio system I guess. Most cars behave like this, after a Bluetooth audio device connects they send a play command so the music will start automatically when you start the car.

So the play command doesn't come from the phone, but from the paired BT device. Actually I think this behavior is convenient, usually I want to start playback in my car when my phone is connected.
