Successfully flash it on my SPG21 via TWRP

Problem :
sim not detected (no imei)
camera cant capture anything

Any solution

 

[augustinleman]

These are common known problems that PA is working on. A fix is expected in a next release of the rom.

I guess those issues should be mentionned in the Rom description.

Sorry I cannot help.

SIM will be fixed in the next release. This was due to missing modem blobs but these have now been added and will be present in the next release.

Camera: Can you please try different resolutions and maybe a different camera app. I don't personally own a Z3 Tablet so can't fully check for this device.

Finally unlocked and flashed a custom rom on my new tablet.
Great to be back to bare android, the bloat was really getting a P in the A :angel:
Still getting the hang of flashing on xperia, as i'm used to samsung and nexus devices.
But i think i got it right this time, all seems to be running smooth.
Thank you very much.

Until a fix gets released you can try this xposed module that allows you to edit your imei: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/hijack-suite-t3429770

Best is probably to put your own imei that should be on your phone box. I hope it will make your phone useable in the meantime.

It caused by flashing the wrong recovery img. Happend to me once when the TWRP warns my SPG21 as a Scorpion_windy and failed to flash the PA scorpion. Solve by flashing the correct twrp img. U can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/twrp-v2-8-6-0-f2fs-z1-z1c-z2-z3-z3c-t3098573 or here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4996503000517182028

Tried it but not working. Hijack suite detect my imei as null, i assume imei can't be edited if the imei didn't exist right and yep i tried put my own imei and few random imei. reboot a few times and no miracles happend. I glad i tried tho Thanks!

I tried few camera app like ProShot & Better Camera. Both app works well like auto focus, zoom... but it can't save the captured images. i guess it can't access the storage media ??

ps: i have rewrote these replies because accidentally mess up delete all replies (sorry if u got multiple emails)

Where/What is the " OFFICIAL STOCK ROM" mentioned in the previous step? I haven't installed TWRP on my device yet because I was waiting for a 6+ ROM like this one, so I'll be coming from 100% stock. Does it refer to a stock Sony ROM that's flashed?

Yeah, Official Stock is Sony Stock ROM

+Tim Graham​ for Z3 Tablet Compact we need this commit for camera to work https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/de...mmit/16753458e20ea7b55bcb2e9333465f5e1310c530

Yep, thanks for the quote, I read this guide, I wanted to confirm that the ROM was 6.0.1 stock, as the Scorpion LTE ROM looks scarily small at ~350mb. Cheers.

This is largely due to there being the bare minimum of apps pre-installed. You'll want to install a Gapps package from here for access to Google Play etc.

Can you guys add a recovery to the rom? It's such a pain in the ass to first flash another kernel, boot recovery, flash your stuff and reflash the kernel again. It's even worse when something goes wrong.

Yes, that would be really great if not to difficult.
But no issue if not, love the rom!

Great! I had that bookmarked from when I did my Nexus 6p..

Is there a good place to find the latest stock ROM thats TWRP flashable?? I haven't been able to find anything more recent than 5.1.1 in all the root threads.

Edit: NM, found it here.

 

[krissztyoon]

Can anyone help me with finding a flashable root zip file? don't know where to look for it :angel: thanks in advance

The method is described there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-...torial-stock-android-marshmallow-6-0-t3409486

At the end of post #1 there is a link where you can download the latest Sony rooted stock file.
