I have done some tests. It looks like expected. If i update from LOS 16 to 17.1 the MAC always changes. If i wipe /data before the MAC keeps the same. But with wiping data an update makes no sense.... So something on data results in that problem, but i don't know what. Any ideas?

Solution found. I removed the folder /data/vendor (after backup) within twrp. While rebooting this folder is automatically recreated. Now the MAC keeps the same.
So ... how to install LOS updates? It made a note that an update is avaiable. I download it (around 480MB), select install and it informs me it will reboot into Recovery to install it. So it reboots, does some stuff and then i'm, in TWRP ... and now what? What does it expect me to do? Reboot to system just brings me back to TWRP. Fo i have to do a Factory Reset?
Sorry if these questions are stupid, but it really isn't straight forward for some people (stupid ones like me).
And now the Google Apps are gone :-/

It should boot to TWRP, automatically flash update zip and boot to system, all without any user input. If it didn't, then you most probably have wrong twrp flashed. Please flash the one in the first post and try again. This updater process is just automated dirty flashing of downloaded zip, so gapps and data won't be removed.
But i did: I have TWRP 3.3.1-0 from the link in this sentence: "If you prefer TWRP over Lineage recovery, you can get it here."
Then maybe you have initially flashed the zip incorrectly (didn't fully wipe partitions and/or didn't format them before flashing)? I don't really know what could be the issue here other than the things I already mentioned. Last possible but very unlikely couse of the problem could be corrupted zip after downloading or this particular build is just faulty, after merging some changes done to lineage's sources. To confirm or bust this hypothesis you would need to start over from flashing twrp from first post, wipe all partitions and format them accordingly, flash last working for you los, and then install update through updater in setting app. If it fails again and you stay in twrp, please copy the twrp logs, so I (if the problem is some step you overlooked) or most likely @NeoArian (if it is broken build) can help you.
Hi all
I'm currently on the concept software I think is MM 6.0
Im trying to figure out if switching to this new OS worth the effort or not.
I'm looking for a reliable and fast os, actually mine is getting slower, probably because of the three years without a factory reset.
I really need an advice, I'm still using my z3c as main smartphone because of his compact dimensions and I'm trying to give him a second chance with this os.

Hi Everybody,
Big problems of sound in the last build flashed today (lineage-17.1-20201013-nightly-z3c-signed.zip). No notification, no music, no ringing. No sound too when I plugged an earphone.
When a call comes in, micro is on mute and unable to unmute. Not possible to hear the caller too.
Seems to be related with the last build because I flashed the 3 october build again. With this build I have sound (but phone is not usable unfortunately).
Is there anyone else in the same situation ?

Same here. I don't really use the z3c as a daily driver, but I don't remember this issue in previous builds.
Same here. Reverted back to the version from 06.10. which is working without any problems.
Interesting. Can you tell me what you did exactly? I flashed 0610 with twrp too but after reboot I couldn't unlock my phone...
I also flashed 0610 with twrp over 1310 and wiped cache/ dalvik. Nothing more. And it worked afterwards.
Unable to unlock phone
Hello,
I have the same problems like tomKater. After flashing to 1310 build there where sound issues (no sound at all during phone call and playing music etc.). After flashing back to 0610 with TWRP and wiping cache/dalvik I was able to unlock my phone with SIM-Pin but not with number-based unlock code. Screen went black after correct PIN-input and shows the Dial-Pad again. Any Ideas to break this unlock-Pin loop?! Nevertheless this is a great ROM - thanks to NeoArian.

May be thats the difference. I use only sim code, no additional screen lock. This worked with 0610 after rollback.
Sound problem after flashing the 10th October build
Exactly the same problem of sound for me after flashing the 10th October build.
Any idea of what we can do to ? Just come back to the 3rd October build ?
Thank you for you help

I´ve updated again to 1310 build from 0610 build. Afterwards unlocking with unlock-code works again but the sound issues occured again. Trying to remove unlock screen-code and than flash back to 0610.
I tried too this steps :
- Flash in 1310 build
- disable lock screen
- Flash in 0610
=> still doesn't work. I swipe to unlock the phone and black screen. So at this moment I'm back in 1310 build and use a bluetooth headset for calls (this is the only way to communicate). I hope that there will be a fix very soon because it's my daily driver ...
Same problem, after upgrading to the latest build no sound at all.
Downgrading to the October 6th build fixed all issues.

Same behaviour with disabled lock-screen after downgrad like tomKater described in his post. But also bluetooth headset is not working in 1310 build after reflash.
You are right. On my side, music is ok with bluetooth headset. I thought that calls would work too but they don't.
Very annoying.

6Good Evening!
It's the time again, you might have already noticed that lineage 18.1 is official for some devices now. We, the sony shinano maintainers, were not sleeping and have also prepared our device for 18.1. I have uploaded a test build here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ep...18.1/lineage-18.1-20210406-UNOFFICIAL-z3c.zip
I would appreciate some testing/feedback on this build. There shouldn't be major issues on the test build, from my own testing it should be on-par with 17.1.
I am optimistic that we can also achieve an official release of 18.1 for the z3c.
All source codes can be found on the lineageos github in lineage-18.1 branches + additional patches for sony msm8974 are up on gerrit: https://review.lineageos.org/q/status:open+-is:wip
Happy flashing!1
Magisk 20.4 flashable zip, can be updated to the latest via the app, but it seems versions after 20.4 do not survive LOS updates. Magisk app v.22 is fine
p.s. Need to push sdcard quite deep so that it snaps into place1
You have a PM... For all others: there's still a microG version (only a bit older) on https://download.lineage.microg.org/z3c/1Just as with other Android 9 and 10 roms, I had heavy battery drain because of the media.extractor process.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/10-official-carbonrom-cr-8-0-z3c.4047649/post-84715425
I worked around it by killing it at boot with a simple Tasker profile (Edit: I added a two minutes delay to make sure the process is already started) :

Like mentioned, we currently have to use Magisk 20.4 to root it.
The best way is to install LineageOS then Magisk 20.4 and finally Magisk 22 all through recovery.
Edit: I finally identified the problematic file, a 70 MB opus file. -

Happy flashing!55
Thanks for the report. We were able to reproduce it and have fixed it. We will merge the fix within some days so that it will be fixed in the upcoming releases.
Greetings, arian.4GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY!!!
I managed to finally fix the persistent "BTLowPower" wakelock which caused the CPU to no longer enter Deep Sleep state and thus resulted in high battery drain once Bluetooth had been enabled!
UPDATE: I just found a much simpler solution that does the trick! The real culprit was a #ifdef in BT Power Management that was introduced by a commit in July 2019 and then has fallen into oblivion.
Fixed! -> Version 3.
@tblr0ne , @L.Lmar : can you please also test this version?
*** TESTERS NEEDED! ***
Find attached the modified boot.img. USE AT OWN RISK!
Installation:
- reboot Z3C into Bootloader (Vol+)
- flash new boot image over current LineageOS17.1 installation using fastboot
- rebootCode:fastboot flash boot boot-BTLowPower-fix-3.img
Code:fastboot reboot
NOTE for Magisk users:
After flashing the new boot image, it is required to re-install Magisk. Do this by immediately booting into TWRP after the new boot image is flashed.
Also note that you need Magisk v20.4 for this! Later versions won't work.
Anyway, you will be able to upgrade Magisk to up-to-date versions using Magisk Manager after the system has booted.
@NeoArian when everything seems ok, I will create a merge request in LineageOS/android_kernel_sony_msm8974. Is this the correct place / way to go?
