I flashed v70 permissive to my Z3C. In recovery mode, when I do sys reboot Im prompt to install superSU to root my phone. I swipe to install but nothing happens, system just reboots. I need to root my phone. What should I do?
Since updating from v70 to v71 I've noticed that the phone is ignoring my max-CPU when screen-off setting, is there anything else that has to be set a certain way to get it to follow that again, I've been noticing much higher CPU usage while screen is off, which some days drains my battery when Google Play Services acts up compared to before when at least it had to run those background processes on one-core at a lower clock speed.
I love DooMKernel by DooMLoRD , but he does not have Z3.
So, I started to learn and create custom kernel like DooMKernel.
Please do not ask me to add something, I don't know much about kernel and git right now...
Z3 Dual D6633 need a different kernel.
If you want me to make it, give me your Z3 Dual since I don't want to make kernel not tested on my device...
NOTE: this is old info
Xperia doesn't have recovery partition for user,
but we have FOTA kernel partition for OTA.
Since we have to unlock bootloader and OTA won't work on unlocked,
we can re-use useless FOTA kernel as recovery partition using Dees-Troy's "extract_elf_ramdisk".
With FOTA kernel recovery, you can update your recovery without updating kernel.
For example, TeamWin provides TWRP images of FOTA kernel for Z2: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/232
It's for Z2, but we can use main functions such as backup and install on Z3 and other FHD devices,
but device check by some ROM zip will give you wrong result because .prop in image has info for Z2.
Modified version of TWRP 2.8.1.0 image for D6603 is here.
You can flash images to FOTA kernel by fastboot command like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery fotakernel.img
To enter into FOTA recovery, press power key when LED is on.
How to restore DRM functions? When you unlock bootloader you will lose X-Reality, noise reduction and so on,
but you can restore them!
Original thread is here, but I updated steps for Z3 and Z3 Compact.
1. Download zip from original thread
* Choose KitKat version (for 4.4) or Lollipop version (for 5.0)
2. Place zip in internal or external storage of your device
3. Reboot into recovery and do Factory Reset
4. Reboot into flashmode and flash FTF with Flashtool
Any FTF is OK, but of cource use FTF for same version you are using now.
Wipe: Check APPSLOG and CACHE
Exclude: Don't check
5. Close Flashtool, unplug and plug your phone and reopen Flashtool, then relock bootloader
Click BLU icon to show relock button and click it.
6. Flash FTF (same as 4.)
7. Close Flashtool, unplug and plug your phone and reopen Flashtool, then unlock bootloader
Click BLU icon to show unlock button and click it.
8. Reboot into fastboot mode and flash my kernel
9. Reboot into recovery and install DRM Restore zip
10. Reboot
11. Done!
After doing this, do not restore old data since it will revert DRM restore.
You can restore system with recovery and use Titanium Backup or something to restore app data.
Note: When you flash new ROM (not kernel), you must flash DRM Restore zip.
If you get "net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" when connecting xda,
please disable PrototypeProtection with Titanium Backup or something similar.
I have an issue. Mine phone is unlocked and i flashed this kernel with RXSW Z5 Experience [v15.00] [25/02/16] [OTA] [5.1.1] [D6603] [D6633] [D6653] ROm but phone wont boot at all.
I read that kernel may be incompatible with NUTZ recovery so wich other recovery should i flash? Wich one is the latest?

Me too use RXSW Z5, succesfull install androplus kernel, first unnistall dual recovery. Do you have problem,your battery getting very hot on charging?before install this kernel, my device normal hot. But this kernel good, cpu get 2,8ghz.
I use kernel adiutor, any body have best setting for this kernel? Balance between performance and saving battery.
Not in D6603 at least. I thought it was a software issue because the Japanese versions work but it isn't working neither with the stock kernel neither with this (with my D6603 and a QC 2.0 certificated of course). I don't know why. Too bad Sony
@AndroPlus, I can't give you my Z3 Dual D6633 because we probably don't live very nearby, but if you want to come visiting Iran, I'll ask my iranian friend to obtain an invitation letter for you, I'll host you all the time you need to work on this kernel on my phone and enjoy your time in Iran. I'll take care of all your travel around Iran to make you discover locales places.
What do you say?
