Xperia Z3 [D6603] 23.5.A.1.291 DEODEXED Stock ROM (Kernel and Baseband Included)

Edit 2018: Mediafire removed the file due to it being "a virus". In reality they attempted to get me to purchase a bitdefender subscription from them to "fix" the viruses on my PC. They targeted random files as some versions of Fragment ROM which is based on THIS ROM were left up (where is the virus??).
Sorry guys I don't have a copy so it's up to someone else to host if they have a copy and feel like it.
The page now stands for reference:
Xperia Z3 Deodexed Stock 23.5.A.1.291 GLOBAL
Model: D6603
(The obvious disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your device if you flash this. I have taken as many steps possible to ensure top quality and am running this myself, but you have been warned!!)
Not much to say really. Latest Sony release ready to be flashed or used as ROM base. RXSMB members (you know who you are) don't need any permission to use this, others please send a quick PM I'm pretty good at responding quickly. I know how much of a pain choosing your base can be.
All stock as it was when Sony released it. Only been deodexed by myself.
Can be flashed on Locked Bootloader and will give you root and recovery (TWRP 3.0.2 and SuperSU 2.76). Includes the latest kernel and baseband 61 from the ftf, but that is all. No FOTA etc.
V2 Changelog: SuperUserMOD integrated. No need to flash the patch.
Removed Chrome, Browser and Drive from system. Download from Play if you need.
Deodexed the two apks in system/vendor/apps that I missed
The APN downloader (ie Download Internet Settings) is fixed - Special Thanks to @Rajeev for this
MediaFire link: Removed due to their racketeering. Flagged file as virus trying to make me purchase bitdefender from them. lol.
MD5: de083b0d5818f364aee6fc60c695bc5f
Patch V1 to V2: Removed for same reason as ROM
(You still need to manually delete from /system/app - Browser, Chrome, and Drive folders --- If it still doesn't work just install the main V2. Dirty flash will be fine)
For all versions there is a Chrome issue. To FIX navigate with a root browser to system/vendor/apps and delete the ChromeCustomizations folder and the ims folder. Reboot and Chrome from Play Store will work now.
Install Instructions:
(Best results will come from installing over Marshmallow)
Boot into TWRP Recovery
Clean install recommended (wipe only data), but not entirely necessary unless you have issues. Do not wipe System as this is done by scripts.
Flash the ROM
Wipe dalvik and cache
Count to three
Reboot
Any issues let me know ASAP in comments.
Additionally people seem to be having issues with the Stock Browser and Google Drive. It is best to delete them with a root browser from /system/app and then install them from Play Store.
ADDONS:
SuperUserMod made by editing the services.jar. Flashable zip for recovery. It will overwrite the services.jar in framework. Please make a backup before flash (just in case).
Removed for same reason as ROM
Huge thanks to all of RXSMB Team for guidance on getting this together and also to @Bloodlvst and @kansasboy001 for helping with the baseband stuff and @Pandemic for some of the installer. Biggest thanks to @Wolfbreak for Root and Recovery and making it possible on MM.
ENJOY!!!
(If I need to adjust this thread, the ROM, my attitude etc please PM me straight away to work things out. First proper ROM post even though it's stock so I can still get stuff wrong and I know that)

The z3 is on different models, this one which is it? Thanks

Not 100? sure as I use a ported system UI from Xperia X.
I imagine it's just the 4G icon as I used the Global ftf from Sony. If it's not in the system UI then it's definitely the 4G icon as this is what I have.

Great work bro \m/

If you need SuperUserMod I have just edited the services.jar so it is integrated right into the ROM. Flashable zip so just flash and it should work. Would be nice if you could test for me. Working fine for me

Testers needed for AOSP 7.1.2 Pixel themed ROM

Hi everyone,
I used to own a i9100 many years ago and was a developer back then, anyway it's good to see the phone is alive and kicking!
I built my own ROM which is clean aosp (untouched settings and most of base with only commits needed to build for non google devices) with pixel theme,
I want to test it but can't, I need 2 or 3 people who would want to test the alpha build and let me know if it works and send me screenshots,
again, this rom is clean aosp focused and performance, battery and getting that clean google pixel experience without the bloat some roms have, also I update it as soon as the security update comes out since there isn't many commits like other roms.
PM me please if your serious about testing.

Noops cannot go back to recovery... Stuck there on logo or the only choice i see is to go to dowload mod but then ...?

I want to be a candidate @sooti! I sent a message to the private. Take a look

@sooti: well, after 12 hours of use, i noticed some things:
1. I can not install apps outside of google play even when I enable the Unknown sources option.
2. App notifications are always blank and you can not read what has been alerted.
3. Aesthetic: adjust the logo of initialization. gets too big.
4. Remove the installation of magisk when flashing, as it does not work on device and leave the system with the root already activated =)
5. 'MTP was stopped'. Whenever I open the files or connect the device to the notebook and disconnect the message persists.
6. Admin mode can not be enabled by other launchers.
7. Aesthetic: Adjust the size of the watch. Ex: When it is at 11:30 AM / PM, AM / PM goes from the screen.
8. Filming mode when clicking (+) on the instagram doesn't work, even with all the permissions enabled. The rest works very well.
9. Speech recognition does not work with 'ok google'. Using the Google assistant works fine. I even talk to her when I feel lonely. :rir:
10. Call recording not working same habiliting the permission.
11. The device was restarted 2 times on its own and ran out of the signal from the service provider. The signal only returned after the device restarts manually.
EDIT: 12: The phone only charges when it is switched on or in recovery mode (TWRP). If turned off, it turns on and enters the TWRP to load.
'Forgetting' these 12 problems, the rest works very well!
They will tell you that it is a lie, but the battery lasted 4 hours and 45 minutes using it intensely. Can you explain the magic to me, since with others, they last between 3 to 4 hours and 30 minutes? I'll send you pictures when use intensely again to prove it.

Yeah same here, TWRP works a treat but the stock camera app wont take a picture so not even as far as a green pic lol
Tried other camera apps also like Camera FV-5 but same issue..
So the DRM fix kernal is exclusive for either G8141 or G8142
but the DRM patch fixes both G8141 & G8142 phones?
Can someone confirm please

Sorted the issue...
The DRM fix download link from above was the problem, If you get the latest XperiFIX tool you can get your camera working on the latest firmware build as I just did.
Although to date XperiFIX does not work for me as a standalone tool the latest build in the settings tab has a list of supported devices with links to the TWRP images, DRM XperiFIX files etc.
Just copy & paste your phones column to notepad & seperate the links, your looking for the XperiFIX.zip link
Being that the DRM XperiFIX kernel belongs to STORM it's better to just buy the latest tool, rather than me share his work & cut his profits.
Thanks Blackghosthm for this useful post, it helped me figure out the problem I've had since unlocking my bootloader

A little confused by the variety of responses. So, it's just Magisk 16.4 that isn't compatible with 8142? Just trying to sort out which circumstances work. I have the 8142 and am looking for a simple way to patch the DRM issues without going too far from stock.

OK, so I'm on the dual SIM G8142 and I'm trying to sort out my DRM patch and wanting to keep things stock. I tried JanJan's fix and didn't work for me and the Turbo ROM has a few too many tweaks for me. I'm on the latest 145 with only TWRP installed, no root or other customizations.
Will this be problematic with the dual SIM version?

Yes magisk is in the installer but to get modules working to you have to flash what I mentioned

I haven't rooted so no need for any files ?

Installed this yesterday, pretty happy with the premise and experience so far. I just want custom stock rom, slightly debloated and latest updates. Battery is already better than the previous Oreo build I tried. Only really lose gcam, differences in Oreo don't really seem that great.
Is this the best close to stock option out there? Was surprised no developer thread.

You're probably failing safety net. Get a safety net checker and see what the result is. You'd probably have to use magisk and magisk hide to see it. Other option is to just download the apk from apkmirror and install manually.

Running a custom kernel working out good for anyone?

This is why the battery life is so good.

How difficult would it be to create a debloated version of NPNS25.137-93-10? That is the version on my phone (RETUS) and I love it overall, but can't stand the bloat. I have Froze those apps that I don't need or use but it would be nice to remove them. I don't care for most of the apps that supposedly remove system apps for you because they are usually full of ads and often screw things up for me. Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to debloat it?

How to install xposed beta-3 on 47.1.A.12.270!

The current firmware version is 47.1.A.12.270
Browse to this thread, made by machao44
Create an account and go to ROM下载地址 section, browse to the baidu link and download three files:
the 235 zip file (which is system firmware without the system partition), the xposed fix, and the m-rom.
Flash 235 with newflasher (150mb)
flash twrp
flash the rom through twrp, its 270 (1.5gb)
flash xposed
flash xposedfix
for g8141 users:
go to m-rom system/build.prop, open it with notepad++, replace ctrl-h all things maple-dsds with maple and all g8142 to g8141, save it and copy it back to the rom before flashing.
flash janjan kernel 270 only, no need zip 2~4 it only slows down performance, and then flash supersu after kernel
done!

-flashed full 270
-installed JanJan's .270 GLOBAL kernel and twrp via adb (!!!!) before even booting first
-booted into twrp
-flashed: the FW itself (aroma installer), Xposed (90v3), Gapps (i need'em), debloater, Xposed Fix
-started. Took ~5 minutes for the first start
- FINE

Is this some sort of joke? I cannot download the larger files without the Baidu app (Windows PC) and I cannot read Mandarin/Cantonese so cannot create an account to use it.
I appreciate your efforts, but can you not provide the files here or on some other host where we can get them from?

Youre doing it wrong, the fw has kernel in it so you have to flash janjan afterwards
And full 270 sony ofw isnt needed, he has uploaded 115mb 235 firmware to flash with newflasher

actually i'm having some sort of stupid issue, and I can't figure out what is it related to.
i've tried 3 times, and the first time there was some process named "cta_server" from (as far as i remember) /vendor/bin, and it had a trouble computing something, so it would not let the phone into the deep sleep, and it kept the phone hot and drained the battery.
Second time, my contacts won't sync to Google!!!
I've made a backup, and tried for the third time. And it still won't work as it should.
Now, I'm looking for a way to deodex the firmware by myself, and i'm gonna make my f-ing own fw based on this xposed hack!!!
you're welcome to help, or advice...

well step by step
1. flashed .270 full european
-i've replaced the boot.img in the firmware with JanJans-
2. pushed janjans 270 and aroma-supporting twrp via adb
3. entered twrp, installed the fw, NO REBOOT
4. installed gapps, xposed_systemless_beta3, kernel_permissive, xposed_fix
5. booted up. normally.
set everything up... then either contacts don't sync, either CTA_server gets crazy and heats up the phone.
i wanna deodex the fw and make my own fw anyway. Do you know how to deodex Oreo? I haven't done that since KitKat...

Completely wrong. In his baidu there is a 235 stock firmware. Flash that one first its only 115 mb. Flash it with newflasher combined in it. Then flash twrp. Then flash the 270 custom rom. Then flash kernel from janjan. Then flash patching zip from janjan then supersu from custom rom package in custom rom by unpacking it then only the supersu zip. Then xposed fix and xposed from rovo89, not the weird one you liked me. Done. If you have g8141 then you also Edit build prop. Make sure its clean flash.

Is this some sort of joke? I cannot download the larger files without the Baidu app (Windows PC) and I cannot read Mandarin/Cantonese so cannot create an account to use it.
I appreciate your efforts, but can you not provide the files here or on some other host where we can get them from?

Than you very much, I appreciate your help.
There is one more file I need, which I cannot download, the ZXP 235 ROM which has a size of 150MB (•Flash 235 with newflasher (150mb)) Any help getting that would be appreciated.

I've tweaked and translated into English the installer.
I will upload the updated package somewhere soon.
Or maybe I'll make a separate ROM thread instead.

The roms easily available anyway, if you install a script in chrome on pc its downloadable directly from BBS dot gfan/pan baidu, google is everyones friend. The translated aroma package will be greatly appreciated.

you can install this ROM on top of any other 235 or 270. That one is just minimum necessary

Appreciate the response. Ideally, I want to stay on 235 because I have WiFi calling with my network provider firmware, if I go through this process, I assume I will lose that as the .235 will not be the exact one I have installed, is that correct?
If so, I will sacrifice WiFi calling for Xposed, much rather have Xposed.
