I can't flash it, it just comes up with that error that you talked about (E: unknown command [log]). Is there a fix for this?

 

[Swidilator]

Please don't quote the OP...

 

[Me Gusta]

Man, I'm so freaking excited for this! Thanks OP!

 

[hillj284]

Fails to flash

Take 2. I can't flash it, it just comes up with that error that you talked about (E unknown command [log]). Is there a fix for this? It doesn't flash the system image afterwards anyway

 

[MehmetAliCan]

You are awesome.

I could be wrong, but I think there's two kernels. One is AOSP and one works on the Sony AOSP. I couldn't get that kernel to boot. So far I can only get the unified 3.10 kernel to boot.

 

[Swidilator]

On a bit of a side note, I everyone here that has flashed the ROM has an unlocked bootloader I presume. Now, I have seen a couple posts about loss of camera quality, and a couple of other features not working, but it's always been a bit vague. Can anyone here shed some light on their experience with it, and if it's a huge difference, or if it's negligible.

Also, I've made a TA partition backup, has anyone ever restored one, and if so, does it work after the new bootloader+ recovery configuration, or only for the old standard.

I know this should probably be in general, but this is the only ROM I'd unlock it for, perhaps PA as well, and so I figured I'd post here.

In general unlocking the bootloader will decrease the camera quality especially in low light.
As for the TA partition backup, yes everything works fine after restoring it, just make sure when you restore it that you are on a stock rom because it will relock bootloader automatically, doing so on non stock rom will cause soft brick.

considering I bought this phone for a dev phone I didn't really care much about this. Plus I had already unlocked it when I found out about all this too, but if you care about your photo quality you want to back up your TA partition.

I've also unlocked the boot loader for those ROMs. Depsite I was really interested they are not usable as a daily driver, just to warn.
To be clear: PA Android ROM has major issues with screen flickering that make it almost unusable, app crashes and others. This 7.0 ROM still has some flickering but app where not crashing on my device.
The camera quality issue with unlocked bootloader depends by users usage standards, it means that if you use you Z3 as a camera, and really often, you should not unlock it, if you don't (like me) you are good to go.
Not really a problem the loss of on screen colors filters.

About the TA Partition restore I can confirm the whole thing actually works, I restored the partition once. I've also found a problem with that anyway, the original TA Backup doesn't support Z3 on restore (or at liste mine running MM). Fortunately somewhere out there, there is an updated TA-Backup.bat that supports Z3.
Now I'm not able to find the thread or the post with that file, but if you copy and paste the error from the original TA app it should pop up easily on google.
It works on Windows 10 64bit as July 2016, not checked the anniversary edition. Wrote that cause in 2015 someone wrote down that TA was not working in Windows 10.
