I have the weird problem, that my device seems to have no device name anymore, which causes that when I am trying to install a rom it tells me:
"This package is for device: D5803, D5833, z3c, aries; this device is ."
What I tried to fix it:
What did I do before that happened:
I tried to flash carbonrom (https://get.carbonrom.org/device-z3c.html) onto the device, the version which was released on the 10th April (seems to have been deleted), the recovery menu did not pop up it just restarted several times (I should mention here, that I was never able to boot into the recovery via keys or adb (just the normal system did boot up when I used the command). I only were able to enter the recovery on other kernel images, when no system was installed and the recovery just popped up). So I tried to flash the recovery of the version which was released on the 5th of April, it did change nothing.
Then I tried installing omnirom (https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/orig-development/oreo-unofficial-omnirom-t3696536) using the kernel from "https://releases.nailyk.fr/twrp/". I finally was able to boot into the recovery and to install omnirom. It worked perfectly, but I forgot to install the gapps, so I reflashed the kernel (because of the boot into recovery problems I mentioned before, to get back into the recovery). When I tried to install the gapps nano, after I reinstalled omnirom it said, that my architecture was not supported (I downloaded the right one (arm 32bit)). Then I tried to install gapps stock. Same error. I read online that it was a bug of newer twrp, which caused that problems on some systems. So I tried a few versions of nailyks kernel and the version 2017-11-21 installed my gapps and I was able to flash them. At that point I tried to flash carbonrom via nailyks kernel (I was able to install the 5th April version. The 10th April version had an endless installation (actually I think the real installation never did start)) and then using the included kernel from the zip to boot. And it did not boot. So I flashed again nailyks kernel. I think after that the problem happened (I am not absolutely sure if I tried something else before that happened (I am forgetting many things)).
Also I shut mention that I wiped Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Cache, Data Internal Storage two times instead of just Dalvik / ART Cache
"This package is for device: D5803, D5833, z3c, aries; this device is ."
What I tried to fix it:
- Trying several twrp kernels (different versions), did not change anything except that on some versions it said that my device is called "" (as device name only two question marks were shown instead of nothing)
- Flashing again the kernel I used before and trying to install the old rom, which caused the same error message
- Trying many other kernels, including the 3 latest versions of nailyk, the latest kernel directly from twrp, the kernel included in omnirom zip
- I tried to flash again the default sony rom via Emma. Flashing of the default worked and I was able to use it, but as soon as I flashed again a twrp rom my device did put out the error message when I tried to install a rom.
