and for magisk install 25.0 or 24.3 not 23.0
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] MX-linux-fan:
Hi Mahmaod,

Thanks for your answers!

I'm sorry but I'm afraid I do not get it so I'll ask to ensure myself:

- I have to get rid of LOS and flash again, for instance, D6603_23.5.A.1.291_Generic_CA.ftf (using this flashtool), right?

(the problem is: I've had it already - just before flashing LOS 18.1)

- did you mean flashing .291 will upgrade my bootloader or you meant that I have to upgrade the bootloader after reflashing of .291 - but how? Download sony flashtool emma?

(and do I have to restore the DRM keys after reflashing the .291 to make emma working? in case I need emma for anything)

Sorry if the questions sound stupid :unsure: but for me it's not obvious what to do now.

So I really appreciate your help and thank you in advance for a little bit more detailed answer.

(and of course the issue/what I've observed with rooting/magisk is for me clear right now)

Have a good day!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Tux111:
Wich vendor sources you used? can you share a roomservice.xml as an example?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mahmaod Rad:
no you dont need emma at all i will help you installing this rom contact me on telegram

https://t.me/MahmRad

sorry for all this time
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] MX-linux-fan:
Dear Mahmaod, Dear Tux111

Thank you very much for you hints and for your will to help :)

I've finally solved the problem myself! (sorry for late response)

I'll write it down here hoping it can help someone else, so:

- ....shame to say but....

my simcard was inserted upside-down

:oops:

To justify myself I will tell you how this opposite placement happened (I'm using this phone only from time to time, usually without simcard in it, as the phone is aimed to act as small palmtop, and that's why I was unaware of proper placement and was madly attempting to place it upside-down almost all the time....).

The linkage between the simcard's tray and the xperia's cover insides was broken

. As a consequence you are able to pull the tray forward completely!

Guess this is not what I would get in a new product.

And it happened that after such total pull forward it was one day turned upside-down - that's all! :ROFLMAO:

The small triangular area of the card was in a good place (on the tray) and I was inserting the simcard in a good direction towards the phone's insides but of course it does not matter when the whole tray with the card is reversed upside-down!

So after insertion, joints on the card did not touch its target "socket".

Sorry for bothering you with such a stupid problem!

All the best, warm thanks to all of you for being so helpful community!

And of course great thanks to all the developers of the LOS!

and then how are we going with the camera
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Androi100:
how is the camera recording in 4k right? already installed a gcam app in the rom
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] TheShadowOfAGhost20:
You can't do much in gcam. you need to enable the camera api 2 which is impossible on this phone.

but you can use very few apps like open camera to record 4k. however it has problems, the audio cuts out after some seconds, the phone turns into hell then eventually goes into a few times of bootloops.

Hi Tom,

it seems to me, that the screen rotation bug from Lineage 17.1 has creeped back into this 18.1 ROM. After a while of usage, screen rotation doesn't work anymore. This can only be overcome by restarting the phone. You'll find more Info on this bug in post #145 of this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/t/official-lineageos-17-1-for-xperia-z3-closed.4161727/page-8#post-84734681

I would be extremely greatful if you could patch the ROM like you did in 17.1 to get rid of this bug again.

Thanks a lot!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
I can confirm that the patch seems to be missing in 18.1. I will have a closer look early September. The workaround in the above-mentioned post could work here, too.

Update: I submitted the patch so the issue should be resolved within a few days with the next build on 18.1
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] torben5247:
Thanks for this great rom. I have tried to flash all the magisk zip files suggested in the thread, but it just wont install magisk. How do you install magisk? Do you have to manually patch the boot.img? Please share your experiences.

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] juan_21:
does lineageos still allow the mhl technology of the z3?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] denyo81:
Is the rom still being developed?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
Just a short update on the development for the Z3 from my perspective:

We continue to implement some bug fixes from time to time. There were three fixes coming with build 20220922:

Disable SMD --> should improve battery life (by avoiding unwanted wakelocks in some cases), potentially at the cost of some functionality, but we are not sure if the feature was working at all on our devices (feedback welcome)

Screen auto rotation (@jw243)

Changes in NFC so that NFC works with other Shinano devices. Should not affect the user experiance but feedback would be welcome, too

I will not work on MHL or MAGISK topics, sorry. But please feel free to share your solutions here ofc.

I would like to work on future LineageOS versions, however I do not want to do that with our old 3.4 kernel. Whenever somebody sees a chance to switch to a mainline kernel, please feel free to contact me. There were some thoughts in the past on that topic, but I have been told there is little chance e.g. because of the proprietary camera stuff.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] petefoth:
Battery discharging rapidly

I have two Z3 devices: one used by my wife as here main device, the other on kept as a backup. The main device is always put on charge overnight, by which point it is normally showing 30-50% charge remaining. The devices have been running this ROM (and the 17.1 ROM before it) for a coupe of years now with very few problems.

A couple of weeks ago we started to have trouble with the battery running out around lunchtime or early afternoon, without any change in her usage pattern. I started to investigate yesterday, and noticed that the Battery Usage graph was going as normal for a while and then "dropping off a cliff" (i.e. going from ~50% to 1% in a very short time - the line on the graph is nearly vertical"), and powered itself off.

I updated the regular phone using Updater a few days ago, and it is now running `lineage-18.1-20220818-nightly-z3-signed.zip`. I usually install udates every month or so, so I think it was previously running a build from some time in September or August. I don't know for sure whether the problem was present before the latest update: I think I would have noticed if my wife was using the emergency powerpack before then but...

I assumed that there is a problem with the battery, so it was time to fire up the backup (which had a replacement battery in April this year).

So I

- backed up the regular phone to Google Drive

- flashed the backup phone, with the latest nightly build `lineage-18.1-20221020-nightly-z3-signed.zip` and `open_gapps-arm-11.0-pico-20220215.zip`, and restored

- booted the backup phone, restoring the backup from Google Drive.

- once the restore was complete, and the phone finished setting up all the restored apps, I swapped the SIM and SD card from the regular phone into the backup phone

- checked that most apps seemed to be working normally

- handed over the backup phone for my wife to use (feeling slightly smug that everything had gone relatively smoothly :) )

Now, a few hours later, the backup phone has dropped off the same cliff: battery down to 1%, phone switched off, vertical line on the battery usage graph :(

So, I don't believe this is a hardware problem, and I am wondering what to do next, and where to start looking for the cause of the problem. Any ideas will be very gratefully received. Thanks in anticipation.

For now, I'm going to try installing an earlier build: I have a copy of `lineage-18.1-20210805-nightly-z3-signed.zip` in my archive, so I will try flashing that and see what happens
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Mr.Tom_Tom:
This really sounds like a battery hardware problem. I do not remember exactly how battery calibration works on the z3, but I assume you need some charging cycles to get the percentage values work correctly. However, if you have a defect battery, the calibration will never compensate for the sudden voltage drop, and you will see such an unexpected drop down.

Even if you switched to a second device I would not rule out the hardware issue.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] petefoth:
I'm not ruling it out completely, but it seems a big coincidence to get the same problem, occurring in roughly the same timescale, with two separate devices, one of which had a replacement battery fitted less than 6 months ago.

I've installed `lineage-18.1-20210818-nightly-z3-signed.zip` on the original phone, restored all the apps and data using a combination of Google backup and Android Backup and Restore Tools, and installed BatteryBot Pro from F-Droid. I will watch with interest to see what happens tomorrow :)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] TheShadowOfAGhost20:
@Mr.Tom_Tom

This problem happens for my phone as well! but not always...

Sometimes when i pick up my phone (usually at morning) i see that it's so warm and the battery percentage has been dropped so much while the phone was actually idle.

I know it may be because of malware but i have few apps installed and don't usually install anything from unknown or untrusted sources and this problem started happening some time after i started installing LineageOS 18.1 builds.

@Mr.Tom_Tom

Hello,

at first very THANKS for the great ROM for Z3 (D6603).

I am using it since version lineage-18.1-20210812-nightly.

Actually I am using the actual version 20221116.

I am using this rom on two xperia Z3.

Every thing was working fine until 08.12.2022.

Since then no vodafone sim-card (germany and netherlands) is working in this devices.

It toogles between "Keine SIM-Karte - Dienst nicht verfügbar" (no sim card - service not available) and "Dienst nicht verfügbar" (service not available).

Other sim-cards, like Aldi or Blau, are working fine.

The vodafone sim-cards are working fine in other smartphones, for example an Xperia XA2 with LOS18.1 from 21.04.2022 or a Medion Tablet.

I don't think, that it is a hardware problem, because it happend on both devices at the same time exactly.

I don't know if it is important:

We received in germany on 08.12.2022 on all smartphones a broadcast test message. That was received.

Is it possible, that a certificate is runned out?

Or has the baseband a problem with vodafone sim cards?

The baseband is 8974-AAAAANAZQ-00112-61.

Do you have any idea?

BR

Hardy
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] petefoth:
A user of the unofficial LOS build for Xperia XZ1 Compact reported a similar problem. They were able to work round the problem by switching to 2G/3G preferred and back to LTE. Might be worth a try for your Z3
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Bighardy:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I did try this already, but without success.

I think it is a problem from the baseband or a certificate is invalid since 08.12.2022 or 09.12.2022.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Bighardy:
meanwhile I found out that 2G (EDGE) is working, but very very slow.

3G is deactivated by vodafone in germany and netherlands.

But both Z3 are not able to connect with 4G/LTE to the vodafone network.

In other phones the same sim cards are working fine.

And other sim cards from other providers are working also fine in both Z3.

Curious.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Bighardy:
I have ordered new sim cards for my 2 XperiaZ3 from my provider. With the new sim cards the XperiaZ3 are working fine again. It is a little bit curious, because the old sim cards worked fine in other smartphones and other sim cards from vodafone germany or Netherlands are also not working in the XperiaZ3. But with the new sim cards everything is working fine.

@Mr.Tom_Tom

Hello,

many thanks for enabling the use of the Z3 (D6603) with a current Android version.

I got a refurbished Z3 with stock firmware yesterday and flashed lineage-18.1-20230116-nightly-z3-signed. Until now, everything works fine except NFC:

When switching NFC on or off, the switch reacts and shows the correct setting, but NFC tags are not discovered when NFC shows to be on - nothing happens. With stock firmware, NFC tags are discovered (tested with Yubikey).

I'm not sure if there should be a NFC status line symbol in lineage like with stock ROM - there is not.

By the way, the latest /e/OS for the Z3, which I tried before, shows the same problem. This may be of interest, as e/OS/ is based on lineageos.

The sequence of my relevant flashings was:

stock ROM 23.5.A.1.291 as delivered - NFC okay

/e/OS e-1.5-r-20221031230467-dev-z3 - NFC not working

stock ROM 23.5.A.1.291 flashed - NFC okay

lineage-18.1-20230116-nightly-z3-signed - NFC not working

Any idea?

Best regards

Bernd

Any idea?

Followed instructions, but wifi doesnt work. Not 2.4, neither 5GHz. It just keeps connecting/disconnecting.

Not hardware problem.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Tux111:
@Mr.Tom_Tom here it the logcat for wifi. Something really wrong. It doest work neither on Carbon 9-8. I guess some recent updates broke wifi.

Or maybe, in the process, some stock files were lost? and maybe we need to reflash stock roms to regain those? no idea.

I only know the only wifi that works is when i use hotspot from an XZ1.

Tried to attach logcat here but forum doesnt work. Here is uploaded to mega: https://mega.nz/file/edYRzZBZ#7e5810q7Ri-qbtkTXhJWAa1CtjIJmmj9D5ikrV3Asss
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Rick458:
This applied for the d6633 model and I have flashed the unofficial rom for that itself, but I am hoping somebody here can help me out.

I have flashed LOS successfully now. My phone touch screen does not work though so I have been using a mouse through an OTG Cable to interact with it, sometimes Bluetooth too. In stock ROM, it worked out of the box so I could go through the setup wizard with no issue. However in lineage, it's not possible since the mouse pointer is not showing.

What can I possibly do to solve this?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Bighardy:
I have two Z3. With the build 20230516 both devices worked fine. I updated both devices over the updater to 20230616. One device is working fine. On the 2nd device the touch is not working correct anymore. It seems to be, that the touch is not calibrated correct. In the middle of the screen the touch works nearly correct. On the edge/border is no reaction. or i.e. if I am pressing on the left point the fingertip will be shown ca. 3mm to the right. Is there a tool or chance to calibrate the touchscreen? Or will this be corrected with the next nightly updated? I tried to rollback to the build 20230516, but the rollback failed.

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] hk133hk:
I wondering is that a must to flash Android 6 stock ROM via flashtool before flashing the recovery and lineage OS ROM, any other method could have similar effect? Or could I install Android 6 stock ROM via TWRP instead of flashtool?

Hi, please let me know when you get home, thanks.

Hello all together, I have a short info for all who still own such an old device.

So I have struggeled to get the recovery booted on an Sony Xperia Z3 dual (D6633).

If you also want to install lineage os please use follwing sequence/command to install the recovery:

Download the boot.img from lineage os

Instead of fashing the recovery please flash the boot.img with:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

While the device reboots, press the Volume rockers a few times to load recovery.

I took this from the CWM install instruction and it worked for me:

Sony Xperia Z3 dual (z3dual) - CyanogenMod Roms

Hope this saves you some time as it took me two days till I found this.

With the lineage instruction I was not able to boot into recovery.

any help is highly appreciated

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] frozst:
Hello!

I hope someone wise can help me out here. Here is the unfortunate events:

- 2019: I've got the S9 and flashed the ambasadii rom in Android 9, I never upgraded to a new rom.

- Last week I got a S21 for a very good price (basically the only phone that is not huge...) and getting ready to sell my S9.

- I flashed [ROM][G96xF/DS/FD/N][ALEXNDR] * UFFUE1 * DevBase v7.4 * Encryption support [May-16] just to try Android 10 on this device and then I realised... s**** shouldn't I have flashed the modem as well? Erm...

- When booted the SIM card wasn't detected.

- So now I flashed stock Android 9 SM-G960F_1_20191005140040_dtibryv5w5_fac and still the same problem, no SIM I can't get OTA to or anything.

- To complete the drama I locked OEM bootloader via developer settings...

So basically now I don't know where to start, I sense the Alexndr rom I flashed screw things up with the radio and now I have to install a different rom that uses same radio perhaps? I'm downloading the latest stock Android 10 rom and will flash that with Odin again.

It's been so many years I don't do this that I don't remember much so I would need a bit of guidance.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] frozst:
Right, I flashed the last Android 10 stock rom in Odin and it now works perfectly, I got SIM radio and I even received an OTA for May 2021 and it's updating just fine.
