Hey everyone,
I'm curious if anyone knows what the latest Android version of any ROM is for the D6616. Note that I am specifically looking for this tmo version of the Xperia Z3, D6616. I see plenty of ROMs for the other D66xx variants but not much for the T-Mobile D6616.
I'm pretty much stuck on the stock ROM that Serophia devised, which is a good rooted 5.0.2 upgrade ROM from the stock JB ROM, but it would be nice to at least get to MM.
Much appreciated everyone.
-Johnathan
@johnathanamber did you try checking xperifirm to see what was the latest Rom it shows against D6616?
The latest official ROM is the one in on but with a security update.
I was wanting to know if there was a custom ROM with good functionality that I could use to replace the official ROM but be on MM, etc. Something later than 5.0.2.
Much appreciate the reply though.

eXistenZ 5.6.5 for D6616?
I've seen the eXistenZ 5.6.5 around, but nothing about it working for the D6616.
Has anyone had experience with installing this ROM on the D6616?

nop, I on 5.0.2 too, there's no custom rom support for this Z3 variant, not that I really care about cuz is working just fine with stock rom
@chrustoph34,
Definitely agree that the current stock ROM is sufficient and works fine. I'm more concerned about the security updates that MM provides.

Hi guys.I had an Xperia Z since yesterday,when i bought an AT&T LG G3.I'm from Romania and the man from whom I bought it got it from the USA.When I want to make the software update,it tells me that the latest version is installed.But the version i have is 4.4.2,and the latest is Lollipop...
So,is there a way to do the software update?I wouldn't like to install CM 12.1 because,from what i've read,it's full of bugs...
Thanks!

This has been asked a good amount of times in just a few days. No you cannot. You'd have to root , flash twrp, and then flash a rom that you'd want to use.

I searched the internet but i didn't found the answer.
Why?Only because i don't use an AT&T SIM?

Since you don't have att service in your country you have no option but root, flash tarp and flash the rom of your preference.
I have rooted the phone and i've installed twrp,but i didn't find a good,stable ROM.Can you reccomend me one good ROM?

If you read the "Index" thread, you could find this, which is what I think you want: Stock Lollipop 5.0.1
Of course, official (nightly) for cm12.1 just came out. Find that yourself.

Yuup,this is exactly what i've been looking for Thank you very much!
Hello, i see a lot of developing for other roms out there, and we just received root the week before last, I managed to install a dual custom recovery (cwm, twrp) and it works fine, but there isn't a ROM to change to or flash.
when i see other models have locked bootloaders and use custom roms, is there any way we could make an aosp rom without cyanogenmod, (i prefer aosp roms without the tweaks and bugs), a stock rom would be fine as well, cheers

The same happened for the Tmobile USA Sony xperia z1s. We had root but a locked bootloader. There were a few devs who were trying to build a rom from scratch but became difficult of a task due to locked BL and no access to the kernel so it was abandoned. Im sure the same will happen to this. Only roms i expect to see are custom stock roms based on the stock rom.

Is it possible to flash a pre-rooted D66XX ROM on the D6616 ?

So a couple of months ago you had root on the T-Mobile z3 and used a custom recovery to flash a different firmware? Or did you use flashtool?
When I get my z3 back I am going to simply try it, but because it worked out with my TL doesn't mean it will work with my Z3

I attempted the basic flashtool swap with a stock global firmware which worked on the tmobile xperia z but did not work on the d6616

@smokeysevin how about to trying to flash via recovery with a stock based 4.4.4 D6603?

At the time root was not working on the d6616 so that was not possible. It might be now but I have not tried.

I am afraid to try to flash, if you can, please try it we will be glad this work.
I tried last week and I bricked my phone. Took me a few hrs to recover it but it's fine now. Restored back to stock.
Any new ideas???
Now that 5.1.1 is out are there new hopes?
Why can't we flash the D6603 pre-rooted XZDR 5.1.1 Rom on a rooted/recovery D6616? I thought the only thing stopping us before was that we did not have root or a custom recovery on the 6616, so we could not do it without losing DRM keys. Has that changed or not?
Because bricking your phone isn't fun
Right, I understand that there are risks involved. What I am trying to understand is what in particular creates those risks. Could you explain a little further why flashing a D6603 zip would brick the D6616?
I am curious about this as well.
I just recently got my Z3, which I had to unlock since I use AT&T. I now want to root and put 5.1 on it, but it seems like the T-Mobile one is so locked down. As far as I know about DRM keys I don't really care about them since I am not planning on using any Sony software (except maybe the camera software) If I could just put 5.1 on it, with a camera app that shoots RAW I would be happy.
What version do you have? We have root for the D6616 but that won't help us get 5.1 from what I can see. Best bet is to get the D6603 if that is what is most important to you.

I have the D6616.... I guess I don't care so much about 5.1 as I do getting the best battery life possible. But it looks like custom roms are not available since the boatloader is locked?

That's correct - we're limited to modifications of stock. But that makes me wonder why 5.1.1 wouldn't work.

I've been looking for a 5.1.1 for the D6616..... Prerooted.... No one has this yet? I am on 4.4.4 stock rooted ROM, and I have a flashable 5.0.1, but I see no reason to not want 5.1.1, so why do you say root on 5.1.1 isn't doable?

It's not root that's not doable. There exist 5.1.1 prerooted zips for D6603. The issue is that 5.1.1 for the D6616 has not been released yet, hence it has not not been rooted.

Ah, understood now. Thanks for clarifying.
There seems to be no compatible Odin-flashable firmwares or custom roms beyond 5.02 Lollipop for this SM-S906L Tracphone variant or at least talked about.
Someone mentioned the stock SM-G920R6 TAR,MD5 MARSHMALLOW can be flashed with some tweaking but no confirmation at all.
Does anyone know what exactly can be flashed on this thing beyond 5.02 with confirmation?
did u every find it

Sorry. I no longer have this device. All I remember is I could not reliably upgrade the firmware so I went back to stock and sold device.
Hello, it's been some time since I've last rooted and flashed kernels on my devices. My device is having problems with certain apps and I feel it's time to update my root or change my rom or flash a stock rom etc. Here is what I am using now:
Build: MOAR v6.1 OA6
Software: G900PVPU1BOA6
Hardware: G900P.04
Android: 5.0
Kernel: 3.4.0-3859396
Would you recommend I unroot then flash a stock kernel? What is a new root I can use with this phone? Thanks
I would recommend Odin a fresh stock MM rom. Then boot to the desktop, by pass set up. Go to dialer ##72786# it will do a reactivate and update prl and profile.. Then Odin TWRP, and flash a new rom or your choice.. If you like MOAR then Odin a LP stock rom, and do as mentioned and flash MOAR 7.0 it works best. Right now, I'm running crdroid 3.8.5 baset off of Nouget with 7.1 gapps and it works very well You need the latest MM firmware to run it, and at least TWRP 3.2.1-0-ktle.img If you do flash crdroid download ktledv
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-crdroid-t2860894
First off, thanks for the reply. I really appreciate the help. What's the battery life like on MM compared to Lollipop?
I would prefer to use something like a stock rom but just extremely debloated. I also want to be able to play pokemom go without problems and super su keeps giving me problems when trying to play. Do you know of any setups that would allow for pokemon go and are fast, battery effecient, and debloated?

How's the mm baseband? I know the obvious response is updated is better but I experienced better LTE on the firmware I currently have, no idea honestly other than it's lolipop, maybe ok4? I want to upgrade phones but having trouble finding one with sprint newer that can be customized how I like so I'm also looking at playing with this one prior to and after getting maybe a pixel unlocked

I would stick with Lollipop OK4 and flash MOAR 7.0. I to find better LTE and all around connectivity on Lollipop than MM.. I once again, went back to MOAR 7.0 from crdroid.. Crdroid is a great rom, but battery life, sucks, as well as connectivity on calls and data. When in aroma and you get to the point about the kernel, choose don't touch kernel, and finish from there. I never like MM and those are the reasons why.. Crdroid I flashed was 7.0 but naturally on the MM base band, but it was still the same.
Thanks sir nobody could really answer that for me. I found the ok4 of all lollipop got the best LTE where I live, plus I'm on sprint so I'm a bit restricted on ROMs, unified dev leave some bugs with sprints network but not too badly!!

You probably already know, but I will ask anyways. Are you using the KLTEDV version of the unified ROM? KLTE roms does not work very well with sprint.

Thanks! I'll make sure to read which I should use. My daily is still on MM while my old one that's kinda beat up is now on N as it us now the practice phone. Playing with it before Oreo, may stay for a while. And I installed kltespr on both devices as there were still options available for specifically this device with the spr tag. My CM 13 network is fine, no worse than just regular sprint...
Haven't tried the move to either N or O on my daily, worried about the signal discussion. I'll use an old kltespr to test before the newer maintained kltedv if its there probably to see how it goes.

Unfortunately my sprint s5 is one of the phone with that signal issue. I was in the process of changing carrier so to try and fix that issue wasn't worth it for me. My new S5 did not have that issue, when i went to verizon, its a really weird bug.

I think it took a bit to stat with the sprint APN, changed some settings, messed with some stuff, and it seems fine now, I'll have to remember to check back at that before upgrading. I'm on the ok4 baseband
