[TWRP][EXPERIMENTAL] suzuran twrp 3.0 - Xperia Z5 Compact Original Android Development

Hello people,
I was able to successfully build twrp 3.0 for suzuran (our device, duh!) and thought I'd share the recovery.img so you can test and see what works and what doesn't.
The recovery was built in a CM13 similar environment (PAC), so there might be some issues when working with stock kernel.
Since this is an experimental build (I tested main functionalities and they work, but didn't get down to the nitty-gritty), here's a small disclaimer:
By flashing or booting the attached recovery you're risking damaging you device, or losing the data on your device!
Neither I nor anyone else but YOU is responsible should any bad unintended problems appear!
If you're feeling adventurous then feel free to flash the recovery.img (along with Androplus kernel) and try the sweetness that is TWRP 3.0 :good:

Known issues:
Temperature reading is botched
Crypto might not be working, like AT ALL
usb connection doesn't work (only if you use this recovery with Androplus kernel)
There could be more problems, which is why this is EXPERIMENTAL for now
And now let's get to the sources!

And now to thank the people who helped in this endeavor:
TWRP team for the awesome recovery!
@nilezon for the TWRP flags (which I still need to go through to check if I missed/need anything, especially crypto flags...)
FXP team for device sources, Especially @adfad666
All of the Sony AOSP contributors, they're awesome people!

Could you tell me if you have E5823 or E5803, I have an E5823 and it's working fine.
Also, are you sure you're not FLASHING the recovery.img? You need to just BOOT it directly from fastboot

this is really weird, did the MM update also change something in the bootloader in an inconvenient way?
Could you try the other recovery.img from nilezon's thread? If that boots using "fastboot boot recovery.img" then we'll know the problem is somewhere in the .img itself
EDIT: oh, also could you please check if your download wasn't corrupt? Here's the md5 hash of the file so you can check

It worked before I upgraded to MM.

I have no idea.
Z5C_TWRP_152_v2_nilezon doesn't work on MM.
I flash Android 5.1 and try your TWRP3.0, still stuck at SONY logo(with no LED light).
Z5C_TWRP_152_v2_nilezon can work on 5.1.
Now I'm flashing MM again.

Thanks! Guess the issue lies in the MM update somewhere.
You just said that nilezon's recovery works on 5.1, but did you try it after flashing 5.1, or are you basing that statement on previous tests?
The issue here might be that you didn't downgrade the bootloader when you flashed 5.1 again, which would mean the issue will persist.

Hello,
I tried booting(didn't flash) with MM and it seemed to boot into recovery fine. Used it to do a cache wipe, but afterwards phone is stuck on boot screen. I can turn it off with power + volume, but it doesn't seem like I can go back to fast boot.

You should be able to go into fastboot mode by turning device off, holding vol+ button, then connecting the device to your computer through usb

Yeah thanks. Took something like 10 tries before it finally went into fastboot. Not sure what went wrong there. Also on my first try I was able to boot into your build of twrp. But afterwards when I try it just gets stuck on the logo again.

Could you flash bootloader from 5.1 ftf and see if it works properly then?
I'll (finally) update to MM today , so I'll witness the issues first hand.

nope, not your problem, it's everyone's
seems like my twrp version just refuses to boot sometimes.
Was able to successfully replicate the fastboot issue on 5.1 bootloader, so it's definitely this recovery.
Now the question is if it's a TWRP 3 issue, or just in the way I built it
EDIT: I guess this post answers my question
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65808636&postcount=137
another twrp 3 recovery is having the same issue
guess I'll have to make this recovery flashable in order for it to work properly
EDIT 2: wow, Androplus kernel seems to go well with TWRP 3. Updated first post with new instructions on how to use this.

You can use whatever recovery you would like, the system image does not affect the recovery in any way.
Thanks - flashed your bootloader files which got me out of a never ending boot animation issue

The bootloop have nothing to do with my bootloader files, they are completley stock from the ota file!
If you installing the new bootloader files on older roms you are asking for troubles.
Boot the watch in bootloader mode and flash the files as described and you watch will work.
Af if it bootlooping run a "Fastboot -w" after flashing.

Yep, just like in the steps, the thing did show a FAILED (anti-rollback) when flashing the 'aboot'. I just used everything that was on the zip, now the watch doesn't even show the LG logo, I've tried plugging it on and off and keeping the reset button pressed for a while. I really don't know what else to try.
I'm waiting for it to run out of battery, but I don't even know if it's "on".

Did just ran it on my own watch and everything working.
If you aboot fails flashing your watch might have another problem, i assume that your watch have an unlocked bootloader??

Yes, it had the boot loader unlocked, and I can't try again flashing the aboot because I can't get it to recovery mode or fast boot mode or anything.

By people, do you mean 1 person ???
Pretty unfair for other, isn't it ?
I am looking for bootloader files for the G Watch R to flash over what I believe to be a corrupt bootloader on my device. It will only boot when on the charging stand, and so far I have only been able to get it to boot to 5.0.1 successfully. Once the device tries to pull down the OTA update it reboots and proceeds to run the update and then it fails and powers off.
Currently I can access fastboot and I can get it to boot a stock recovery and twrp with the 5.0.1 boot.img flashed to my device.
Can anyone who has downloaded the original package from this thread PM me the files? I need to reflash my bootloader files to attempt to fix a booting issue with my watch. Any help would be appreciated and I will not hold anyone accountable if I hard brick my device.

Nvidia SHIELD Portable Root

Hi everyone!
This morning I woke up to find my SHIELD with the so waited notification of Lollipop update. I'm really happy to finally have lollipop running on my device, but sadly I found a problem after the update. I was trying to re-root my device, but neither the SHIELD RAM tool or Root Genius could do the trick. But I didn't gave up, I searched in Google any way to root my SHIELD with the still fresh update, and found that the Kinguser app can root it without trouble.
You just need to download the apk, install it on your SHIELD and open it.
Btw, the old recovery isn't working anymore, you can flash it with the RAM tool, but the device will reflash the stock recovery.
twrp works, but SU binary still wont flash :/
edit - the combination of this APK and TWRP gave me all I need for root + rebooting and keeping root
Yeah, I was about to say that. The TWRP recovery works like a charm, but Supersu binary won't install. But well, the KingRoot app is pretty good.
I can confirm some problem with supersu and update 103. I flashed 2.46 and my portable wouldn't boot. Like, something broke so bad I had to reflash 101 and update again. The later might indicate backups are broke in my twrp, I'll have to look into that. For now, I'm going try kingroot as suggested here and continue other development.

So you were successful in getting TWRP installed, SuperSU installed and removing KingRoot clean - leaving only SuperSU on the system, surviving a reboot?

hey wolf, what is the easiest way to flash twrp with the 103 upgrade? thanks
You might wanna include the instructions as shown here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...how-to-root-lollipop-xperia-tablet-z-t3115107
It basically tells you how to install SuperSU and remove the entire KingRoot library after that. It worked on my Z and on my SHIELD as well.
This was essentially what I did:
http://greenrobotgamer.com/shieldzone/root-shield-portable-lollipop-5-1/
Mine seems to be working just fine, after obtaining root and installing SuperSU. I didn't bother with installing TWRP, I just hotboot the recovery. I'm rebooting my SHIELD as we speak, see if there's any issue
EDIT: Scractch that, it's not booting. How do I flash the latest image back in?

Boot the SHIELD in fastboot and connect it to your pc, then open a command window in a folder with the adb files and the recovery image and type: fastboot flash recovery -the name of the recover-.img, and it will flash the recovery. You can do that with the stock too.

ok long story short: since i had the shield drivers installed and tha adb drivers installed i did the oem unlock and after a confirmation screen on the shield i did it, then i immediately flashed the twrp image from the same command line. now the shield is stuck in nvidia android boot logo. any suggestions? thanks
I am in fact stuck in the boot as well. Anyone's got stock image we can flash?
nevermind, after like 10 minutes the thing just booted fine, these are the perks of being a newb.

Search for the SHIELD RAM Tool, it have everything that you all need to flash recovery or old firmware to unbrick the device. It also comes with the necessary files and drivers to work ADB Fastboot.

I just re-flashed the system using RAM, should be fine now. I'll just have wait for the OTA all over again. UGH.
I wish someone could provide a KitKat version tho.
EDIT: Annnd battery's at 15% so the system won't let me OTA yet.
SuperSU will work fine with my latest TWRP builds posted here. The older 2.8.5.0 builds will not work, neither will any build in the linked thread before yesterday. I used SuperSU 2.49 Beta and it worked as expected.
Side Note: The older builds will have the problem where boot will just hang. That seems to be because the older builds didn't have selinux policies built in, so some things never get set up right and the boot panics.

Xperia V soft bricked, please help!

Hi guys. I am in desperate need of your help.
I have a Sony Xperia V LT25i which used to have a CyanogenMod Rom 12.1 up and running and TWRP 2.8.
I decided to update TWRP from the Bootloader, hoping I could update it to later on to CyanogenMod 13.0, and stupidly picked it to update on boot instead of recovery and now my phone is bricked. it does nothing but load the "Sony" logo, then dim.
I tried fastboot from the computer, it does not detect my phone. I tried Sony Mobile Flasher, it does not detect my phone, i.e. I managed to flash most of the files from a factory rom except system.sin.
I can't get into recovery(Volume up + power button). I am able to get into fastboot and bootloader mode over the phone (blue and green lights), however, my computer does not detect it at all (I tried all the drivers I found on the internet, but not success).
Any suggestions? Please?

Which operating system are you running on your PC? Did you currently update it to windows 10, or a newer windows 10 version? If so you'll have to disable driver signature and install the drivers again.

Ok, your phone is recovered. I guess you're trying a CM13 nightly. It should work at the 2nd or 3rd time, though I'm not quite sure. Otherwise you could try to boot up to your Cm12.1 and install TWRP via a terminal emulator and the dd command. To me TWRP is way better than the CM recovery

It does not boot to my CM12.1. It simply freezes to "Sony" logo. however, if I hold volume up + power button it goes into recovery mode. should I keep on trying on installing 13.0? I tried about 4-5 times, still kicks the same error.

You could also try Cm14, it runs pretty good on my Xperia T. Unifying will wipe your internal storage though, so be aware. If you still got data on it you should try to flash CM12.1 again and safe your data

I was able to boot a TWRP from an unofficial CyanogenMod 12.1. I think I got it from here. I do not own an Xpire T, so my latest version of Cyanogen would be 13 ? (I Guess)
Thank you so much for your help!

No worries mate, everyone runs into trouble once in a time and needs assistance I'm really glad it worked out

Stuck in Oneplus logo. Can't access recovery. Fastboot working.

Hi everyone.
I was trying to flash Nitrogen OS. First I flashed the latest firmware, then the actual rom and then GAPPS. After that my mobile got stuck in Oneplus logo without being able to go into recovery mode.
I tried using fastboot to flash the files in this thread(https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/unbrick-unbrick-tutorial-oneplus-3t-t3515306) which worked once, but even after that I can't surpass the logo screen.
I've been trying to look for information but I can't find anything.
To clarify:
- I already tried erasing userdata and cache from fastboot
-I already tried flashing recovery images from twrp, stock and bluspark
Thanks in advance guys.

Which TWRP are you using? Which firmware are you flashing? You can't access recovery at all? I've run into plenty of bricks like this and I'm usually able to get back to recovery by forcing the device off (vol up + power hold) and rebooting back to recovery. and if that doesn't work I can at least get to the bootloader and re-flash a recovery file.

I was using last bluspark recovery. I was flashing OB21 when everything happened.
There is no way I can access to recovery. I tried reflashing the stock recovery from that unbricking thread with all the other things through fastboot and I can't boot into recovery at all. It is the first time I face this error so I am lost.

okay, well what I would do is boot into the bootloader, and then reflash the blu_spark recovery via adb so you can boot into it. then wipe everything and restart. but this time I would try the OB 20 firmware and not the 21. when I was on NOS I used that one and it worked just fine. I'm not sure if it made a difference, but I flashed the firmware both right before and right after flashing NOS

It doesnt recognize my device through adb and I don't know why. If that worked I would have tried to sideload some firmware, but when I do adb devices it doesn't appear

Somehow fastboot devices does send me that my device is there but adb devices no, I will try looking into that to see if that works. Thanks for the help anyway

yeah! try fastboot flash recovery "recovery file name".img
make sure that recovery img file is in the platform-tools file (or wherever your adb files are) and see if that works!

I mean idk if you wanna do this, but you could always try to "format userdata", then flash the stock recovery, and then sideload OOS. but you would lose all of your data in your internal storage, and it's still not a guarantee. there are some posts about doing a full wipe and starting from scratch. I'd look into those. Best of luck reviving your OP3T

just a tip, try posting the output instead of "it's not working",
so the devs here might be able to analyze the problem..

I already post a lot of information on the first post:
Mobile not passing the first time Oneplus logo appears.
Only fastboot is working, not adb, not recovery.
I already tried flashing other recoveries and the stock one->Can't pass Oneplus logo anyway
Tried formatting userdata through fastboot and flashing the .img files from my first post->Not working
Then just do the Qualcomm restore and unlock, boot to fastboot and flash the latest TWRP. Then boot into TWRP and format cache partitions, system and data and then adb sideload using this option under TWRP advanced to flash firmware zip, NitrogenOS zip and then 8.1 Gapps and try booting to see if same thing happens again. You are using the NitrogenOS stock kernel and not some other?

What do you mean by the Qualcomm restor and unlock? I already tried the flashing of latest TWRP and it did not work.
I was coming from Validus last beta but did a previous factory reset and that stuff.
Thank you for the answer

What he meant is probably unbrick tool - https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/unbrick-unbrick-tutorial-oneplus-3t-t3515306
Try flashing official firmware with it and then try again by flashing TWRP and flashing Nitrogen.

I can't install the drivers:
-First, stupid Windows policy saying that its driver is the best one available.
-Second, choosing from a disk to avoid one saying that the driver is not a x64 one.

None of that answer what he actually asked, which is: what was the output (error message, result, etc.) when you tried to flash TWRP?
Did it flash successfully, but still can't boot to TWRP? Or else, what was the exact error message?
In general, when asking for help and giving status, be specific as possible, and give as many details as possible. Saying you "tried xxx" or "it did not work" is not specific enough.
Seems silly, but I've seen a lot of times where it's as simple as the user not using the correct command or entering the right file name.

There were no errors when flashing TWRP. When I tried rebooting using fastboot(fastboot boot recovery.img) it got stuck in the message saying booting up... and the only thing that changed was that my phone left the bootloader screen to a screen with the Oneplus logo and a fastboot mode message under it.
The command I used was fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(Name of the actual recovery file)

Twrp install

Help I have the bootloader unlocked but still can't seem to install twrp it's been a while since I've rooted a phone I need a step by step ..kingroot and others don't work
Please elaborate, What happens when fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img?

That answer isn't going to get you anywhere. Before you ask someone to write YOU a really detailed walkthrough because YOU aren't willing to search . . . How about you lay out exactly what you've done and exactly what's happening when you try to boot?
The first one to answwer your Q was helping you, in that they wondered what happens when you run that command through FASTBOOT. That is the exact command you would run to flash your TWRP.img
So . . .

fastboot
Fixed (But as an aside: isn't the command Fastboot, but the shell ADB?I haven't looked it all up in a while.
flashing twrp it says invalid partition name recovery failed
To let everyone know you cannot install twrp you can only do a boot to it through fastboot. they have it security blocked on the z3 play so it cant be installed yet. but if you do want a differnt recovery for it use magisk i have it installed on mine and it works great.

So question, I'm currently trying to boot into TWRP, however when I send the command "./fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0_9-0-beckham.img" it basically just sits there, it says sending boot.img but nothing happens. I've let it sit there for a while and nothing still. thanks
UPDATE: used a different computer and it worked perfectly my guess the USB port had some issue

Yeah that would have a lot to do with the issues that you were having I have been using a usb 3.0 port on a laptop and haven't seen any issues with it. Also I have installed the new ASOP Pixelrom and is a awsome rom if i were you i would give it a try.

Running it now, so far it's brought that phone back to life, I was in the process of trying to install it when I posted yesterday lol.
Anyone here that is running a custom rom wanting a custom boot logo let know I'm gonna attempt to make some and I am looking for some ideas. also to let everyone know the custom logo gets rid of the pesky boot locked screen.

You cant flash recovery on Z3 not just because of security but there's no recovery partition.
