i have a broken screen but the touch is working can someone upload a video or pic where to select the options to format cause i cant see it
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] zinko_pt:
I´m sorry in advance if I´m being a n00b.

I´ve searched this thread and didn´t find any info why the sgp612 is not mentioned: is it because partition size is different from sgp611 and therefore incompatible?

Many thanks

@joschi1979​

It would be perfect, if this fix could also be applied to the SGP611 version :-)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] evil-god:
here is the patch https://gitlab.com/sony_scorpion/an...mmit/4fbe26dc782addab051a56861c4c089f364f7fdd
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] flouli:
Many thanks for providing this! Sorry, for the silly question, but I am not an expert in this: How do I apply this patch?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Kat-CeDe:
Hi evil-god,

thank you very much for the camera fix. Now I can switch from my new, slow, bad tab to the old, fast, good tab:-)

Ralf
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] evil-god:
only useful if you build the rom from source, like joschi1979 do for the SGP611 wifi device ;-)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Sohot2000:
Updated.Thx all of you.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Max8719:
It seems like joschi1979 is no longer maintaining the SGP611 build.

Evil-god, would it be possible that you also make a SGP611 build , like you did in the LineageOS 15.1 thread?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] pixelvisions:
Thank you!! This solution finally had me up and running, after at least a dozen attempts using alternate routes. I had to force reset the tablet to get it to boot though -- holding power and volume up. (It's possible the other solutions worked too and I didn't realize it, because the tablet wouldn't turn on normally or using fastboot.)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Ermann123:
Hi!

Is there a way to deodex the rom in order to make MicroG running?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Corias:
Stuck on first step - flashed recovery to fotakernel, but unable to boot into it

Neither fastboot boot command nor power+vol down do not help - tablet boots into system instead
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] tommes_d:
Thanks for the new release with security patch from 5. July (y)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] congnh:
I tested your rom for a few days. things went smoothly. but FMRadio doesn't work, can you fix it please?

Thank you!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Corias:
Thx, managed to boot, had to extract kernel from this ROM and flash it first.

5GHz Wi-Fi doesn't work with this ROM for me, locale is set to Russia. Anyone with the same trouble?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] K_Romanova:
Hello.I'm also from Russia)Just add another Usa language in the settings, then reboot.Connect the network, then put Russian again in the first place.Proffit)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] JLowe:
fastboot boot OF-recovery.img -> failed

fastboot flash recovery OF-recovery.img -> failed

fastboot flash FOTAKernel OF-recovery.img -> failed

I can't get the provided 621 recovery neither to boot or flash. Can someone please guide to a working solution how you can update the recovery and boot it.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] tommes_d:
Instructions have been given in this thread - but once again:

- be sure to be on last stock kernel and bootloader is unlocked

- extract boot.img and fastboot flash boot boot.img

- fastboot flash FOTAKernel OF-recovery.img
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Cryonic90:
I succeeded in flashing the recovery through the official TWRP app on the tablet.

Maybe that works for you too? You need to be rooted before you can flash local recovery images.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Tuxianer1988:
Hey,

I succesfully installed the ROM and it is working perfectly fine. When I now started to install apps I am having issues that at around 99% the installation fails, this happens with numerous apps such as MS Office universal app, Roller Coaster Tycoon or Stardew Valley.

I have already clear the cache of the play store app and also removed the updates of it, however it is still failing any idea what this is happening and how to solve this?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] A. User:
Thx for this great ROM. Stable, fast, just fantastic!

Has anyone gotten Netflix up and running? No matter the version it always say incompatible.

When checking with a DRM-App, I can't see any info regarding Widevine. Can that be the cause?

Anything I can do, or am doing wrong?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] MightySashiman:
Hi, any idea if this rom also could work on the SGP612 version of the tablet ?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] MightySashiman:
Would it be possible to make a unified rom fo both LTE and wifi-only versions ? (16gb and 32gb) So as to better keep rom updates in sync ? Few if not nobody here apart from you has the slightest idea unfortunately how to patch (which seems to be a source patch, requiring full build of the rom). I have no idea what are the differences are between hw versions of the z3tc device. Luckily, the LTE is just like the wifi-only version, only with a additional model and sim tray which get detected as additional hardware by the OS ? Many thanks in advance for your past (and future) work keeping this tablet alive.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] MightySashiman:
OK, on my SGP612 I did the following :

Putting the device in Flashmode : flashed official firmware SGP612_23.5.A.1.291_R2D_CustomizedUS.ftf

Downloaded the SGP611 rom from Post#2 (lineage-18.1-20210504-UNOFFICIAL-z3tc.zip)

Extracted boot.img from rom from Post#2 (lineage-18.1-20210504-UNOFFICIAL-z3tc.zip)

Dowloaded OF-recovery.img from Post#2

In fastboot mode

fastboot flash recovery OF-recovery.img

fastboot flash FOTAKernel OF-recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot recovery

Device stay with a black screen, LED light flashes red. Device is bricked. Only way out of this situation is to go back to step one and restore official firmware.

Don't know how you guys manage to get another result but this is driving me round the bend...

ps : I presume files for the SGP611 work with SGP612 (the only difference is the size of internal storage)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] allofmex:
Why are you flashing to recovery AND FOTAKernel??

Hope I remember correctly:

Is your bootloader unlocked? (the stuff with

fastboot oem unlock...

If yes please try:

fastboot flash boot OF-recovery.img

This is just temporary, tab will always boot into recovery at power-up. Flash directly to correct recovery partition does not work because of Stock boot does not support.

In recovery: flash lineage-18.1...zip, this will overwrite boot image again

fastboot flash recovery OF-recovery.img

Now you should have lineage and recovery (via multiple volume-down press when Sony logo appears)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] MightySashiman:
Because it's repeatedly instructed in this mess of a thread as being the right way to do it. (I don't even know what the heck is FOTAKernel and what is OF_recovery). Anyway I ended up flashing twrp (Scorpion) and it worked. Only thing I still can't seem to manage to install is Magisk. I've been trying to flash magisk (v22.1 sony modded) from twrp but it spits out the following error :

Could not find 'META_INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Download/Magisk-v22.1_mod_sony.zip'

And flashing Magisk v23 zip installs without errors, but still magisk manager doesn't see as installed, for some unknown reason. 🤷‍♂️
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] MightySashiman:
install nikgapps core. Work perfectly.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Fishaffair:
Good day, man! Are you managed to install this rom into SGP612 ? If yes, please, write small instruction how to do this, very appreciated.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] MightySashiman:
I was about to redo the whole damn procedure to document it, starting by flashing SGP612_23.5.A.1.291_R2D_CustomizedUS.ftf again to start from a clean slate, but Mobile Flash Tool is now refusing to reflash that thing as it now sees my SGP612 as a SGP611. The SGP611 lineageOS rom in post#2 must have tampered with TA partition or some other stuff and messed up stuff. Until I somehow figure out how to force restore the appropriate ftf image to my device, I'll delay documenting. Wouldn't want to risk other people potentially bricking part of their device.

My thought of the day : **** sony and their goddamn TA partition which has been a headache on every single xperia device ever. So called DRMs to protect their camera post-processing (which is lousy anyway). Makes me angry.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] zuiffon:
The best software to restore a Z3TC with original rom is Emma from Sony.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] MightySashiman:
Yup. I also have it. But for some strange reason, it does not suggest installing the latest official firmware, but instead an older one.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] walkingtoaster:
Just i

Just install the magisk.apk after flashing the zip through recovery if the app is missing
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] MightySashiman:
Maybe I wasn't clear enough :

the Magisk 23

apk

(aka Magisk Manager app) installs and runs fine.

Magisk 22.1_sony_mod zip cannot be flashed correctly (error mentioned in my previous message).

On the other hand Magisk 23

zip

does flash correctly, but

Magisk Manager app does not detect Magisk 23 (the flashed zip)

as installed.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Corias:
It's kinda tricky - unzip, rename apk to zip and then flash
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] kuskro:
Is it truly functional? I mean, can you install a workabke Netflix? could you keep google play certified? Thank you in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Corias:
Unsure about Netflix but Google Pay and banking apps do work after standard tricks (Magisk, Magisk Hide).
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] A. User:
Netflix isn't working for me, tried many different versions of the app. With or without Magisk installed.

My device doesn't show any Widevine info or level when checking. Can that be the cause?

Am running a LOS 18.1 ROM on my Z2 Tablet too. Netflix works just fine (latest Play version, with Magisk) and the device shows Widevine L3.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Corias:
This may be hardware or location specific issue, not related to SafetyNet.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Tuxianer1988:
Bumbing it up. Anybody an idea why the installation of the above sample apps is failing and especially how it could be fixed?

Since at least Ms Office is for free can anybody reproduce the issue?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] edersouza38:
Maybe just a few notes to somebody that was struggling to have this update installed in a SGP621 just like me: make sure to update the firmware to the newest version available before flashing the recovery/Android ROMs from this thread. In my case the firmware provided in http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/04/26/xperia-z3-tablet-compact-gets-android-marshmallow-23-5-a-0-570/ did the trick. Without the right firmware even FOTAKernel wouldn't be usable. The TRWP for scorpion_windy would fail to install the custom ROM as it does not recognize the device as Z3TC, only the recovery provided here allowed me to install the custom ROM.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Corias:
I confirm MS Office market installation issue. APK installs correctly though. This might be Market cache/storage problem (issues while downloading) or related to wrong device fingerprint (Market downloads incompatible APK). I'll try to alter fingerprint to some arm32 device and report in later.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Tuxianer1988:
thanks much appreciated for the feedback and already saying thank you for giving it a try if there is something that can be done about it :) the APK from the mirror is an option for free apps. But at least with stuff I brought on the store I will have to wait, appreciate the help here.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] sk0815:
Hi, I installed the recovery and then this rom. And it works.

The speaker are verry quiete could be there a patch
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Dark001:
Anyone had issues with battery meter?

After update from previous version to new it doesn't show actual %% of charge. Charged it to 100%, then play music from streaming radio about 12-15 hours, battery metter still at 100%. Rebooted device - it shows 6%...

Charge it again to 100% and all the same.

UPD: After few charging cycles it finally starts to show actual battery's %%. So, if you faced with same issue, try to do several cycles of charging.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] iLashGLX:
Thank you so much for this ROM! My tab is actually running so much better now. Performance is smooth (better than stock firmware after a factory reset for me) and has been really stable (I only use YouTube, Firefox and Twitch though). It was just collecting dust before and I've actually started using it now. Thanks again!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] tommes_d:
Just to give a feedback: Never had this problems again since June. ROM runs stable now.

And thanks for maintaining the ROM and the actual August security patch.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] flouli:
@evil-god: It would be really great, if you could apply this patch also to the ROM of the SGP611 - here these problems are still sometimes occurring. Thank you for your great work!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Francu3:
Hi duds! Please, give the link to download LOS 18.0(18.1) SGP621, OF-recovery.img and Magisk-v22.1_mod_sony...

Hi! Is anyone trying to make a better version for us SGP611 users?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Max8719:
No more updates for SGP611 build? 😞
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] mchaals:
Hi,

just installed on 621. Netflix is not compatible with this device, HBO GO just quits as I start to watch anything.

Anyone knows why?

Update: flashed LineageOS15, same problem if I don't flash Gapps. After flashing opengapps it was okay. But on 18.1 I can flash whatever gapps I want, no Netflix or HBO Go.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] A. User:
I am having the same issue, did you check your widevine status?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] mchaals:
nope, I'm currently back on 15.1. But does widevine prevent installing Netflix from Google Play Store?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Nightsax:
Finally managed to install LOS 18.1 on my SGP611 tablet, after hours of struggle.

Thanks a lot for the method.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] djibux:
Thanks a lot, it works like a charm.

My previous ROM was encrypted. First install was corrupted. It worked the second time after booting to recovery (TWRP), wiping system, rebooting, and wiping system again.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lunaboy73:
Couldn't get Netflix running either. Tried everything: Magisk Hide. MagiskHideProps. Cache Clearing. Several versions of Netflix apk. No luck.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Chocoofadown:
Same here, I think it could be a problem with Widevine, I don't know if we can upgrade the Widevine security level. When I try to check it using DRM info there's no Widevine level mentioned
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lunaboy73:
DRM Info shows no Widevine or Clearkey cards....
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Whumpscut:
Thanks for this great Rom to keep this old device alive!

I experienced a not so small battery drain, when the device is not in use (empty battery after a few days without using), has anyone else experienced the same issue?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Ermann123:
yes, eventually, without paying too much attention on it.. but after a weekend trip without using the tablet at all, there is low or zero power left.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] ChriMo:
As my main driver is a Redmi Note 7 on crDroid 6.3 with microG/GCam I would like to "free" my new Poco X3 Pro as soon as possible from Bloat/MIUI. As long as no good Xiaomi.eu/mi-globe or even better crDroid ROM is available I will probably not use Poco X3 Pro as main driver, unless I'm able to debloat successfully and a good GCam gets available.

Last time on the RN7 I did the unlock process ca. 20 months ago, so I do remember only some major steps and wanted to create this thread as long as no Tutorial is available here at xda.

I've done

- setup Mi Account

- Dev Unlock on MIUI Version field

- Additional settings > Developer options >

OEM unlocking

Mi Unlock Status

USB debugging

- already had ADB drivers, downloaded miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24.zip

with batch_unlock.exe requested unlock

tool says "please unlock 168 hours later"

Would'nt it be nice if for a small quote shops would offer Xiaomi unlocking included? Do exist those? I would seriously consider that in the future to avoid any registration etc. with Xiaomi.

So now I have to wait a week and maybe read some guides. Unsure if I can debloat with XiaomiADBFastbootTools-7.0.3.jar before device is unlocked. I think I had problems unlocking RN7 because I uninstalled some Mi stuff which was necessary to unlock. So I may wait?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] titou4488:
Hi,

There already is a xiaomi.eu rom for our poco x3 pro.

Just one week wait isn't a lot...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] afk48:
Ive successfully debloated mine. My unlock timer ends tonight and just waiting to see more confirmation on the TWRP/OrangeFox that appeared.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] lebigmac:
Has anyone used my script yet to make their Poco X3 Pro fully read-write-able for debloating MIUI and further customizations? By default your stock system is read-only.

It was developed on Poco X3 NFC so it should work well with Poco X3 Pro I believe. Please report back if it works for you or not. Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] xelrix:
hey lebigmac!

just got my x3 pro 2 days ago and it seems like i can debloat just fine using fastboot without using any scripts. even after multiple factory resets

on miui 12.0.4, bootloader still locked.

bought my device from malaysia
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] lebigmac:
Hi xelrix. Congratulations on getting that wonderful device!

My script is useful if you want to remove stubborn system apps that are hidden deep inside your read-only system ;)

You should apply for bootloader unlock as soon as possible. It's very useful if you are hard bricked you can always flash new super image from recovery or fastboot.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] ChriMo:
168 hours have passed so I successfully unlocked mine with miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.55.

I look forward to install a Xiaomi.eu/mi-globe unless interesting Custom ROMs (signature spoofing enabled) come fast ;-)

From what I can see this is the situation:

Hi Xelrix, Can you tell us the steps to debloat properly. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
You can use this PC tool:

XiaomiADBFastbootTools (Java)

https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools

The way to install that tool is written here.

Mark up the app you want to remove and press Uninstall.

You can re-install those removed apps if you need them back.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] rfa31:
Hi, I've debloated following these steps and the steps in the F1 & X3 NFC threads.

But my home screen and lock screen are both black.

What do I need to reactivate to restore the home & lock screens?

Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Reinstall/ Enable the apps name with wallpaper or similar.

Then reboot phone.

Hello, on any custom roms we see recovery as img, so whats the ultimate good process to actually flash it?

img to tar bootloop

any other recovery bootloop

only one thats working is "twrp-z3s-3.5.0_10-A11_6+vbmeta_DUB5" BUT i have x1s, so pain to flash some rom.

Im currently on beyond rom 3.1, because i cant flash anything else.

Any help here?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] 0purple:
Try flashing vbmeta.img after flashing recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] b30wu1f:
like download mode -> recovery, then download mode again and only vbmeta?

didnt try that, ill try it right away

edit:

1) download mode -> AP EXYNOS-G98X-LINEAGE-RECOVERY-20200709

2) booted up rom

3) turned off -> download mode -> USERDATA vbmeta.tar from beyond rom

4) bootloop, up button and power same thing
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] b30wu1f:
i dont know if i should try stock and then go for root again or what exactly do.. i dont want to lose any data now. It got really complicated, since i go from root apk clockworkmod era.

maybe magisk is the issue? since i have it installed
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] 0purple:
Go to fastboot

Flash recovery

Flash vbmeta

Reboot

If fastboot doesn't like extensions of your images, change them to .img
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] b30wu1f:
how can i get to that? on TWRP if i do reboot -> fastboot, im still in TWRP and "fastboot devices" shows completely nothing (not even list of devices or whatever)

when i go to bootloader mode from magisk i just see "entering fastboot mode.." and thats about it, no fastboot commands work
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] 0purple:
Move vbmeta.img to your phone and go to Install section. Install it and reboot.

Also, TWRP offers an option to reboot to bootloader. You can try it too
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] b30wu1f:
well, i flashed lineage recovery img and then vbmeta, phone booted up, but got probably original recovery. its really frustrating. Do you have any valid and working "tutorial" to get the recovery working ?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] b30wu1f:
i just need recovery thats x1s, so it should be probably lineage recovery, but cant install it. Im starting to hate these new phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] 0purple:
I'm sorry, I don't have any specific tutorial, but in general:

adb reboot-fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot-recovery

If this doesn't work, search for your specific device on XDA. You shouldn't hate new phones, you should hate people who sell them, because they make everything hard so you won't switch from their software, which spies on you.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] b30wu1f:
tried TWRP that works, installed as img lineage-18.1-20210224-recovery-x1s.img and now it suddenly worked. Thank you for help, after 6 hours =)
