Does Samsung Galaxy S9+ SM-G965U support root and TWRP? Is it possible to jump to lineage?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
Short answer is no.

Cannot unlock bootloader, no twrp and Lineage for US snapdragon variant.

Rooting may be possible but i don't know if it's still supported.

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
Introduction​

LineageOS 18.1 is an open-source Android distribution based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) version 11 (R). This is the official LineageOS 18.1 thread for the Sony Xperia Z3 (D6603).

Installation​

If you are on stock OS, you need a custom recovery first. You can get the recommended recovery in the official installation instructions link below. There are also inofficial TWRP recovery builds available - if you want to use TWRP you need to ensure that it is compatible with Android 10 or later.

If you are coming from stock or other ROMs, you need to make a factory reset. You also will need a factory reset if you come from LineageOS 17.1 with encryption enabled.

For upgrading from an earlier LineageOS version, please follow the instructions here.

As always, make sure to backup before installing this ROM.

Detailed installation instructions​

Google Apps (optional): Recommended Google Apps can be found here.

Source Code​

The source code of LineageOS is available here. If you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

The z3 device tree is available here.

The kernel is based on V3.4 and source code for this device is available here. The used configuration is lineageos_shinano_leo_defconfig available at arch/arm/configs/lineageos_shinano_leo_defconfig in the kernel source.

Does anyone experience a kernel wakelock for SMD like on the Z3 Compact where it prevents deep sleep?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] akentak:
Amazing on d6603! Thank you!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] MartinX3:
Seems like magisk is still not flashable if installed in TWRP.

The workaround to flash magisk 20.4 first doesn't work anymore, since the installation aborts because it can't mount /vendor.

Patching a boot.img via magisk manager and flashing it doesn't work either.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Samare:
This one should work, see https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/3636
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] MartinX3:
Awesome, it's fixed

I hope the Magisk Collaborators have enough rights to merge PR's and create new magisk releases.

(Or maybe the repo need to get forked)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] penguin Lin:
Hello,

1. Magisk 23.0 isn't flashable on latest version (lineage-18.1-20210729-nightly-z3-signed.zip), but old version(0715, 0722) worked. >> #6 one works.

2. Cannot connect 2.4G wifi with 802.11n, but 802.11g works.

Thank you for all the contributions.

The interesting part is:

07-31 03:03:34.675 2734 2734 I wpa_supplicant: wlan0: Trying to associate with SSID '[SSID Name]'
07-31 03:03:34.863 2734 2734 I wpa_supplicant: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT bssid=10:bf:48:[...] status_code=18

Status Code:

18	Association denied due to requesting station not supporting all of the data rates in the

BSSBasicRateSet parameter	Will happen if the rates in the assoc request are not in the BasicRateSet in the beacon.

Hard to tell for me if the root cause for this lies in the handheld device or the access point. I am not 100% sure but I guess my devices connect fine to an 802.11n 2.4GHz network. Look if you have some exotic features enabled in your router, like proprietary bandwidth settings or something like that. If you are interested in digging a bit deeper install this ROM please (just for testing) and send me a log via PM.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] MartinX3:
I use the Z3 with a Fritz!Box 7490 and 802.11g+n (Wi-Fi 4) without problems.

I also use WPA3 with WPA2 fallback (I am not sure at the moment if the Z3 has WPA3 support)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
Unfortunately our chipset doesn't seem to support WPA3, at least there's no firmware available which supports is. Therefore the next official build will include this:

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_sony_msm8974-common/+/309145
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] MartinX3:
Is it really needed?

I just added the Z3 to the WPA3 network without specifying WPA2 in the settings.

My bad.

I was connected to the WPA2 guest network all the time.

I can confirm that the device won't connect to the normal WPA3/2 wifi network.

Hi forum z3.

I have a z3 6603 with 17.1 , and than i put it back in a box, since im not using . Decided to install 18.1 and did it with success. Factory reset , intallled rom and nano gapps.

I thought this was going to be the end of z3, but looks like someone is still working on this device . Someone is still in love with z3, touching the obsession :LOL:. Thanks Mr Tom_Tom for your work.

I havent done much on it . Just a bit of tweaking. Not rooted yet. safetynet passes by default.. Only thing i notice is the camera doesnt work. I remember it worked on 17.1 . But it was failing to be honest sometimes. Other than that , dont know how bluetooth is going on, since i have no bluetooth device to try it.

bye

Anybody has issues with SDCards formated as "internal" memory? If so, could you share your issues?

Problems with SD card (#2573) · Issues · LineageOS / issues / android · GitLab

I did latest update of lineage but sd card is corrupt. Therefore tried reformatting again. When format as internal but the sd card is corrupt. But when trying...

gitlab.com
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Gomeman:
Hi there

Mi experience, here you go.

I formated an 8gb sd card as internal and it looks ok. 16gb internal + 8 gb external , shows 24 gb. But ¿isnt it supposed to format the card? . i went back to external sd card , the phone goes unstable and i had to reboot(software reboot). And all the things i had in Download folder was still there.

I did the process again , as internal , and went back to external and phone just didnt responde so i had to hard reset it(botton). Appeared the messege that the sd card had a problem and i choose format as external and it wiped everything.

Correct me if im wrong : the SD card shouldnt appear , but it does. Also on Pc , only SD card 8gb appears and internal memory doesnt.

I dont know why it displays 407 mb use when it has nothing on it since it got formated.

Attached some screen shots when i format sd card as internal.

Ps: spanish.

Hope give you an idea. Im not using this phone and i usualy dont format sd card as internal.

BYE BYE. good work Sr.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] SethGeckoXDA:
Coming from stock, I performed a clean install of LOS 18.1 with OpenGApps pico and inserted a SanDisk Ultra microSDHC (32 GB). It did ask me to either format as internal or external storage and I went for internal storage. After a couple of days, it showed the message "SD card damaged" and I had to re-format. Again, I chose internal storage and had to re-install some of my apps. This was about two weeks ago. I hope it won't get corrupted again. I have yet to install a LOS update.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
OK, let me summarize and check if I understood correctly:

@SethGeckoXDA you experienced an "SD card damaged" a few days after setting it up, and not related to a ROM update

@Gomeman you experienced a problem after formatting it as internal and then as external, right? I would not be worried that the phone shows 407mb used. Also, that windows finds only one drive is OK when you format as internal.

Thanks a lot to both of you for your reports!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Gomeman:
Correct.

Thx
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] SethGeckoXDA:
Correct.

Actually, it happened again yesterday: I got the "SD card damaged" error after rebooting the device.

Attached you can find a log. Quickly glancing over it, I can find some crashes as well as suspicious fsck messages. Maybe there is something in it which will help you fix the issue.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
@SethGeckoXDA Thanks a lot for your reply.

Could you please verify that the SD card is healthy, e.g. with H2testw?

Thanks also for the offered logs, but I assume that there is indeed some data corruption on the card now, so we would need a logfile from the point in time when the corruption happened, not from the time after restart.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] eddietoll:
Dear Sir Tom Tom, thank you for your big efforts to make rom work.

After the installation via TWRP and latest updates, my D6603 still won't connect wifi 5g, but 2.4g is ok. And other weired thing is, whenever I go to connection setting MENU, or some messager apps, wifi 2.4g will drop, then reconnect after. But never connect wifi 5g.

Not sure others may have the same problem as I do? My last rom also from your 17.1, nothing wrong with wifi 2.4g & 5g. What should I do? Reinstall again?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
Please follow the official installation procedure. If you did that already, please submit a logfile.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] :
Am I right that TWRP 3.3.1 is not able to correctly restore Android 11 backups, and Lineage Recovery does not have functionality for creating and restoring backups?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] petefoth:
This post in the /e/ OS forums describes a workaround for this problem. The workaround allows you to restore an Android 10 backup on a newly installed Android 11 ROM. It also allows you to 'dirty flash' the Android 11 ROM over the Android 10 data. It has worked for me on several Xperia devices including Z3 Compact. It should also work on Z3.

These are the steps in TWRP for 'dirty flash' (this refers to /e/ OS ROMs, but should also work for LineageOS

To restore a backup, after a clean install, then do steps 2 & 3, then restore your backup, then reboot. Good luck!

In the LineageOS installation instruction it says the device needs to be on firmware version 23.5.A.1.291. Mine has 32.4.A.1.54. Do I have to downgrade the firmware? Why? Would this not make the device more unsafe?

Hello, I have problems with fastboot.

I had unlocked/rooted Z3 with ancient TWRP and Sony ROM and I want to updated it to latest LineageOS.

As per instrucions on LineageOS wiki I updated/wiped it to 23.5.A.1.291 using Flastool.

Using service menu I looked at Rooting status: Bootloader unlocked: Yes.

Z3 is not rooted.

I can see Z3 using "adb devices"

I can reboot device using "adb reboot bootloader" or holding volume button + connect to PC. I get blue led so everything should be ok.

But "fastboot devices" return empty list and "fastboot flash recovery rec.img" returns only <waiting for any device>. Same with "fastboot oem unlock".

I tried 2 computers and 3 cables with same results. I installed LineageOS on my new phone without issues but I cant get it working on my old Z3. I tried several times to reboot PC/Z3, reinstalled ABD, installed Sony drivers, Google drivers etc.

Do you have any idea how I could gat LineageOS on my Z3?

Thanks in advance...

Greetz...

0LDST4R...
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
Sorry for replying late - I did not follow the Magisk topic but I guess the situation has not changed. The ROM itself works fine but is incompatible with the latest Magisk. So we have to expect the recent versions are not working correctly with Z3 for now.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] nikapos:
is it me or mhl is not supported?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
mhl is no more supported on AOSP since quite a while afaik, so please do not expect it to work
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] jw243:
Which GApps do you recommend for this ROM?

On opengapps.org it says that the version for Android 11 has still some minor issues. However, I couldn't find anywhere, what these issues might be. Do you experience any issues with the nano or pico packages on this ROM?

On https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps they recommend MindTheGapps for LineageOS 18.1 instead. However, I couldn't find any documentation on MindTheGapps and how it differs from OpenGapps. Any experience with MindTheGapps on this ROM?

The only thing I need Gapps for is for in-app-purchases as well as using Google Fit. Up until now I've been using MicroG instead of GApps, but these two things unfortunately don't work with MicrG.

So, I would be very interested to hear, which minimal GApps setup you recommend for my requirements and why.

Thanks!

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Technologicfuture:
Thank you to everyone involved in creating this amazing Rom. Great JOb!

(y)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Yk_Handler:
In my case, with opengapps in android 11, you cannot install applications that came with obb data (usually games), because the playstore cannot gain access to /android/obb folder.

NB: the same case with MindTheGapps
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
I personally used opengapps for most of the time. Either with the Aroma installer or even one of the larger packages. The smaller ones should work, too.

Roaming should work as designed. I used it when travelling internationally without any issue.

Does this OS retain any of the options & settings from the oem Sony camera app?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
This ROM comes with the LineageOS camera app. To gain features from the original app you might need to look for a way to install the original app. There were possibilities for that but I haven't tried this since s few years.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] TheShadowOfAGhost20:
Hi tom! you mean it's possible to install the sony camera app and also it's extensions such as the 4k video app?

i'm thinking about replacing camera drivers or necessary system files of this lineage os rom with the ones from the official rom.

just like how we did with the modem files to enable simcard's functionality on dual sim devices... is this possible like that?

the problem with the camera is, only few apps can record 4k but even these few apps will cause the phone to crash and reboot several times before a successful reboot.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr_Kanister:
Hi there,

is signature spoofing activated for microG? It wasn't mentioned before, so probably not, right?

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] MX-linux-fan:
Dear All,

I have a question I couldn't find the answer for. I've just flashed LineageOS 18.1 to my Xperia Z3 (D6603) and I've noticed it doesn't see the sim card.

There's no sim lock and on the stock rom the sim card was working flawlessly (i.e. it was working on Android 4.4.x <- downgraded from 6.0.1, as I wanted root without unlocking the BL to backup the DRM keys).

How can I troubleshoot this invisible sim problem?

Pls help & thank you very much in advance.

And at the same time - I wanted to express

many thanks to all developers and users of this forum

, I've found helping answers to plenty of problems I've had on my way to flash this ROM. Of course I'll provide you with the required details of my flashing process if needed.

BTW1: my LOS is also rooted (as the mentioned 4.4.x what I needed to backup the DRM keys) but the other way: by installing magisk 25.o via LOS recovery and adb sideload.

BTW2: I was flashing without the sim card in the phone (the sim was inserted after the process). Maybe this is the reason?

Best regards,

MX-linux-fan
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mahmaod Rad:
can you conform what is youer modale if have dual sim like d6633 flash d6633 but if it have singel sim flash d6603

pls confirm it
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] MX-linux-fan:
I confirm. My model is D6603 and I've flashed exactly this: lineage-18.1-20220526-nightly-z3-signed.zip (via lineage-18.1-20220526-recovery-z3.img), from https://download.lineageos.org/z3

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/z3/#supported-models says D6603 is supported.

Don't know if the below additional info indroduces something relevant but I'd like to add also that:

1) before flashing I've had Android 6.0.1.

2) I've downgraded to 4.4.x using flashtool (I've flashed D6603_23.0.A.2.93_GloBul BG.ftf)

3) then I've rooted via giefroot_v3.1 (to keep the BL locked) to backup DRM keys with Backup-TA-9.11

4) then I've jumped to 6.0.1 again using flashtool (I've flashed D6603_23.5.A.1.291_Generic_CA.ftf)

5) finally I've unlocked the BL and flashed the LOS as stated at the beginning (using instructions provided on https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/z3/install)

6) I've adb sideloaded Magisk 23.0 but it did not install the root for me

7) then I've adb sideloaded Magisk 25.0 on it and it worked :)

I've realized (I've inserted my sim card) only after successful rooting of this LOS.

So I do not know if the sim was detectable and working after the step 5)

Previous times, when the sim was in that Z3 and when it was working, was when I've had stock 6.0.1 there (but as far as I remember I've had also one sim test with 4.4.x (4.4.4?) and also no problem was noticed).
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mahmaod Rad:
