[Ben Ling]

Hi Everyone,I Have Deodexed & Zipaligned Z3's 4.4.4 23.0.A.2.105 Firmware

This Was Meant For The Single Sim Of Xperia™ Z3 With The Model Number D6603 Or D6653

Requirements

Unlocked Bootloader Currently
Rooted
CWM Recovery

After The Root Will Work On Locked Bootloader,You Can Also Flash This On Your Z3 With Locked Bootloader

You Will Need To Have A Rooted ROM With CWM Recovery
You Must Be On This Firmware (.105) To Flash It
Please Note That The Zip Only Contained System App,Framework & Priv-App

It Was Recommended To Flash This Zip On A Generic Firmware That Doesn't Contain Carrier Apps
The Odex File Will Be Deleted During The Installation & The Carrier App May Not Work Properly Because This Is Based On Generic Firmware

Installation:

1.Download The Zip & Move It To Your Phone
2.Boot Into CWM Recovery & Flash It
3.Clear Cache & Dalvik Cache
4.Done


Download:

Deodexed & Zipaligned 4.4.4 23.0.A.2.93 Firmware ( 520.3 MB )

Generic UK

Btw there's is no any carrier apps in the zip & all Generic ROM have the same apk & jar files

It may be worthwhile to put that in the requirements it does not need an unlocked bootloader, only root and recovery. I know currently you cannot have either of these without an unlocked bootloader, but soon (Finger crossed) we will get root without having to unlock.

^^ a great opportunity to learn!! in the cross dev sony thread there is tool and instructions to convert ftf into deodexed flashable (I don't code but created these for Z Ultra) Ill go find the threads and post and you can easily make your own (ro save @Ben Ling doing exact same thing)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713329

[TOOL] Kamome tool for Windows - deodex tool for 4.4 KitKat

edit: sry, cannot find ftf conversion thread ~ from memory; unzip ftf, unpack system (the tricky bit, needs software), then kanome tool ~ will have to find proper instructions as this helps nobody lol

Can this be installed with the TWRP recovery? Or do I need to have CWM recovery?

Im gonna open my bootlader and I am unsure on witch of the rooting alternatives I should use. Im used to TWRP from other phones, but I have also used CWM sometimes, aaaaaaah the choiches

You can use the one you like

^^ if you use DoomLord cwm boot for root then flash AndroPlus kernel afterwards you actually end up with both cwm AND twrp (ftw)

Hi,

I need help !! I own a D6603 Z3 model (with global generic firmware .93).

I unlocked the bootloader, then flash C.W.M recovery, then i flash this .105 de-odexed firmware, wipe cache and dalvik cache and finally, rebooting the phone.

But instead of the set up screen, i have a black screen with a blue line who shows up every 2 seconds at the bottom of the screen and i can't do anything !!

What am i missing ? I precise that i'm not a noob for flashing xperias phone.

P.S : I didn't make a backup before flashing cause i forgot, and flashtool doesn't works for Z3 yet so i can't flash any FTF Files.... :-/

 

[Alex3oe]

flashtool works fine

I guess you are not on .105 firmware to flash this.

I forgot to edit the OP as I just updated to .105 build,so there wrote that you must be on .93 firmware.

Actually you will need to be on the same firmware to flash it in case anything goes wrong.

For now you can only reflash firmware using flashtool.

Thanks a lot for your replies, i dowloaded the latest version of flashtool as i had an old version and i managed to get back to stock.

I unlocked again, rooted and that's good for me now, even if i'm still odexed.

Just hoping now that some devs will bring us some custom rom cause it's quite sad to own this amazing phone and have no custom rom to play with...

Thanks anyway for your work on this de-odexed rom !

totally agree

and stock is a blown up piece of ****

I'd rather be on Sony's stock firmware (which i like by the way) than Touchwizz rom !! But i like custom rom as i can modify whatever i want Also, something great would be to get some mods for camera (higher bitrate video for example) and mods for audio... Fingers crossed !
