Hello
after i rooted my z3 compact and stuff i thought "hey, encrypting the data would be nice and safe" and did so.
after this i wanted to install some zip via recovery-mode and there are just errors telling me "cannot mount sdcard" and smth like that
i assume this is because the sdcard is encrypted.. .
did anyone know how i can use recoverymode again without flashing the whole firmware back again? oO
thank you
I have the same situation. Can't even enter recovery. You can copy paste files from the zip in the system with for example root explorer, set the correct permissions and reboot.
A working recovery would be better.
I'm on 6.0.1, rooted, locked bootloader and encrypted phone. Can't seem to enter recovery either. There's no green LED on phone reboot. Tried Power + vol up/down, no luck. Also volume up/down during boot, also nothing.
Is there no way to access recovery now?

There is a TWRP 3.0.2.0 for Z3c available here
Apparently it does work with encrypted partitions, but you will probably have to encrypt the phone after installing TWRP, so this won't help you out of your situation.
Edit: there is a manual install of TWRP compatible with MM, once in recovery you could flash the 3.0.2.0 version and restart to recovery, but I haven't tried this and you may well end up in a bootloop with an unreadbale encrypted partition.

for those of you who have a working recovery and encrypted data partition and SDcard, there are two ways of using it:
1. VIA ADB SIDELOAD: TWRP have a ADB sideload feature. it means you can flash .zips directly from your computer, connected to your phone wia USB cable. steps: 1. go to TWRP, search for ADB sideload feature and turn it ON, 2. connect your phone to your computer, 3. open terminal on your computer and type:
Code:
ADB sideload "path/to/your/file.zip"
. bingo!
2. VIA USB OTG: Z3c support USB OTG (On The Go) so you can connect your USB key to your phone via USB OTG cable. you put .zips you want to flash to your USB, connect it to your phone when in TWRP and flash them from USB instead of encrypted partitions.
"Cyanogendmod.Org / Install CM for z3c / Unlock Your Xperia Z3 Compact" <--- That's the URL somehow.
Followed this instruction. Got myself the 12.1 .zip and .img.
I get error installaing the .zip and the .img isn't even an option:
The old rom is infinitly loading in that blue/purple wave line.
I then turn the phone off by holding down the power button until the phone restarts.
My history:
>Pressing up and down on the button rockers.
>Cyanogen Recovery starts.
>I choose "Wipe data/factory reset".
>I choose "Apply update".
(Apply from ADB doesn't work as it seems as ADB has no access for USB debugging. That's why install it from an external SD)
>Install "cm-12.1-20160918-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip" or its copy that I named "update.zip".
Error message:
[CAN'T POST PICTURE BECAUSE XDA HAS VERY FUNNY MEME RULES XDDD]
Private message maybe...? Can I send you guys URL pics via PM?
How can I get out of this loop?
If you want to go back to stock, use flashtool and flash whatever version you want (FTF method), I had an issue with flashing CM too, it said this is for aries but this device is z3c etc. Is this your problem?

Few things you can do:
1- Download the ROM again, might be corrupted download.
2- Flash Lollipop FTF(not necessary), Flash TWRP recovery, boot into recovery, (If it asks, swipe to allow modifications to system), wipe everything (system,cache,dalvik,data), flash the ROM through TWRP recovery.
3- If it gives the error that I talked about in my first message, let me know.

I tried #1 but I'm already stuck with the "SONY XPERIA" blackscreen at the very beginning when booting the smartphone. I suppose it's because of the failed installation and the not choosing of "Wipe clean/factory reset".
I hope that still doesn't count as bricking. I let the accumulator run dry and reload the battery and try to get into the Cyanogenmod Recovery again. Right now nothing is possible. =/
I hope that doesn't count as bricking. If so: These special OTG USB thingies fix a lot I heard, should I get myself one?

If you are on CM recovery, then there is the problem. AFAIK you can't flash anything through that, so you have to push TWRP on your device using fastboot and then flash AOSP/CM rom you want.

That's called a soft-brick. You should install the ADB drivers for your phone on your PC and then download TWRP for your phone (.img file) and rename the TWRP you downloaded to recovery.img .
You should put the recovery.img into the folder where your ADB drivers are installed, then Shift + RClick on that folder then select Open Command Window Here. Connect your phone in fastboot mode to your PC (Keep Vol. Up button then plug in your device). Type the following commands:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
fastboot reboot
If you've done it all correctly, your phone should boot into TWRP recovery. From there you should go to wipe-advanced wipe and wipe your Cache,Dalvik Cache, System, Boot. DO NOT REBOOT NOW. You should go back to main menu and choose install, then choose the ROM you want to install. It should flash it if you don't have a corrupted file. After flashing, you can safely reboot your phone, don't forget to flash GApps if you want Google features on your Cyanogen, hope I helped!

K, 90% of this works. I got the TWRP "app" and I cleaned the cache and all that, but I had to reboot. You see:
To transfer new media I need to remove my external SD from the z3c to my old LG. The LG is connected with my PC and is therefore a kind of card-reader. I tried 2 different nightly thingies.
I still get extraction errors, see:
h t t p : / / t i n y u r l . c o m / h j j d 4 o b
I downloaded 2 different nightlies 6 times already. I dunno. Somethings off here.
Also: For what is the recovery.img? Should I install it afterwards?
I have to restart the phone in order to replug the SD card and get recognigzed by the TWRP.
I did everything from this:

OK, your problem is that you messed up your system, so wiping it is not gonna solve this issue. You need to download a stock firmware file (an FTF file) and flash it through Flashtool, because your device name seems to be "." which is why you were getting "error 7". As for the recovery.img, you will use it to flash TWRP recovery on your phone. TWRP app doesn't work correctly if you don't flash it to your recovery partition so do as follows:
1- Download Flashtool, install the drivers of your device for Flashtool (you can search it on xda forums), download an FTF file, any of them should do, but as you will install CM 12.1, I recommend a Lollipop FTF.
2- Flash the firmware through Flashtool. This will turn your phone into a stock one. Unlock your bootloader if you haven't already, which I believe you have.
3- Flash the TWRP recovery through fastboot (follow my earlier instructions)
4- After you open TWRP recovery do the wipes, note that you can still connect your phone to your computer for file transfers in TWRP Recovery.
5- Install the CM zip file through recovery
IF YOU GET ERROR 7 SAYING :this package is for device: D5803, D5833, z3c; this device is aries.
7- Open the CM 12.1 zip file on your computer and proceed to META-INF/com/google/android directory.
8- In that folder you should see "updater-script", extract it to somewhere and open it with Notepad.
9- Once you open it press Ctrl + H to change some of the lines.
10- Write "D5833" without the quotation marks in the first space and write "aries" without the quotation marks into the second space and click replace all.
(This will change all "D5833" to "aries" in the file therefore making it usable for your device) Save the file and put it into the directory of where you found it, replace it with the original.
11- Now put the edited .zip file into your phone storage, and flash it through recovery. It should work. :good:

It won't matter. Because when he flashes the CM, it'll flash the CM Recovery along with it.

Yea I know, but before that, he needs to have a working TWRP on right partition to be able to even flash any rom.

That's why I wrote those steps for him/her to follow. If you flash TWRP to boot partition, when you boot the phone, it will go straight into TWRP. If you flash it to recovery partition, you'll have to boot it manually.

FlashTool says the firmware has been flashed so I don't understand what are you trying to do after that? After flashing the FTF file you should flash TWRP through "FASTBOOT". Then follow the instructions.
K, did everything you said. Read everything five-times. Replaced "D5833" to "aries" and all that stuff. Still getting ERROR 7.
The phone is still in TWRP Recovery from FASTBOOT / BOOTLOAD because I "constantly" charge it to stay in recovery. If I had found this Mount option earlier... kinda feel stupid for that. So I still get ERROR 7. I copied the modified .zip to internal storage and SD card to see if I get the same error twice. And yeah.
Exact error message in red letters:
"Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file ' /external-sd/cm-12.1-20160918-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip'
Updating partition details...
... done"
So I forethought and cleaned the cache and need somewhat new instructions.
Also:
I suppose with "Advanced Wipe" and your instructions you meant this points, right?:

OK, so try flashing TWRP to recovery partition to get you out of TWRP after you boot by writing these commands in the ADB:,
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot recovery
This will flash the TWRP to recovery partition and will boot you into TWRP. As you do this you won't have a go at the recovery again but for this time. You can reach the TWRP by pressing the Vol. Down button when the phone vibrates at the boot. Also if you want to force shutdown your phone you can use Vol. Up + Power Button combination for a few secs.

Is it even possible to install CyanogenMod 12.1 on Sony Z3C?
Dear friends I need help!
I've tried to flash my tablet but I've got an error message while flashing Katkiss 6.0
What I did:
downloaded Rom.(md5sum is OK)
my bootloader is ww_epad-11.4.1.17-20140711
recovery CWM v6.0.5.0
previous rom zoombi pop
/format data
wipe data factory reset
install zip from sd card. (from internal storage or micro sd card)
And I have got the following error (in attachement)
Please help, my tablet boot only recovery now.
Thanks in advance for the help
trying to boot in fastboot mode when children let me try that...
Edit: fastboot ok.
I placed the the files
KatKiss-6.0_TF701T_033.zip
open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20170120.zip
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip
In
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
ok I don't know how to proceed now.
Seems I cannot change the recovery from CMW to TWRP,
My bootloader is 11.4.1.17 and the tutorial to install TWRP says in capital red:
MUST BE ON A BOOTLOADER 11.4.1.27, 11.4.1.29 or 11.4.1.30
So how can I do?
I there a way to upgrade the bootloader to be able to install TWRP?
Or should I Flash the custom rom from fastboot?
My TF701 in not booting anymore.... only bootloader and recovery CMW
the positive thing is :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot devices
15C3E10090400000011FA8580 fastboot
Please help
I have been able to flash CROMI X (unfortunately with strong battery drain) so CMW is able to flash but for some reasons not Katkiss 6.0.
I have been told that my problem is not ROM related... So it is recovery related?
What is the better option to get katkiss on my tablet? Flash the recovery to get TWRP even if my bootloader is 11.4.1.17 and the tutorial to install TWRP says in capital red:
MUST BE ON A BOOTLOADER 11.4.1.27, 11.4.1.29 or 11.4.1.30????
There is a technical reason about this warning?
Edit: I found this on an old post:
You can try this:
Download the stock recovery from here: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3210
Copy the image to your fastboot folder.
Download the Asus firmware, unzip the file once and copy it to your internal SD.
Boot tablet into fastboot
Issue this command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Note: Do not flash the recovery, just boot it.
It should recognize the firmware file on your tablet and flash it.

Would this method work to get the latest stock rom from Asus?
Got your PM and will try to find some time at work today. Hang in there and don't do anything to make it worse
Ok, work was crazy busy so it took a bit longer.
If you flash a recovery that is incompatible with the bootloader nothing happens. Until you use the recovery... That could permanently brick the tablet. So heed the warnings, they are there for a reason.
Ok, let's try to get you on the latest bootloader. It's no suprise at all that nothing boots if you try to flash a Android 6 rom on an Android 4 bootloader....
Download either WW or US package from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61045480&postcount=2
That zip contains the latest bootloader and a compatible TWRP recovery. Flash the zip in your current recovery just like any rom, then reboot.
When you flash a bootloader or recovery you actually write those files to the staging partition. On the next boot the bootloader will unpack it and write everything to it's proper place.
So it's essential that you flash, then reboot. Does not matter that the boot does not go anywhere. The first part, flashing the contents of /staging to it's partition(s), will happen anyway.
You should see a brief blue bar filling up when that happens. It does not take long.
Boot back into fastboot and check your bootloader version.
Enter recovery through RCK and that should be TWRP now.
Then format /data. Do not wipe it, format it. Do not interrupt it. Wait for it to finish even if it takes an hour (a full battery is a must before you start this). The format command is under the Wipe menu.
Unfortunately the formatting in this kanged TWRP is pretty buggy, but I still like it better than CWM.... If you get lots of error messages after the format (cannot mount this, cannot mount that) go into Wipe > Advanced > select Data > Change or repair file system > Change file system > choose ext3 and execute
Note: The button you have to swipe is pretty "sticky". Swipe it slowly and fully
Reboot to recovery
Go back into Wipe > Advanced etc and change the file system back to ext4
Reboot to recovery
Now everything should be ok, try to mount/unmount data.
Finally you are ready to flash Katkiss
If the bootloader flash does not work, we can try to flash Asus firmware in fastboot, but try the above first.

Thanks a lot to take time to help me.
Will try that tonight and I'll let you know the result.

It was just like you said.
I had to format to ext3 and ext4 because I had errors.
Battery seems to be very good. Just the screen display is very white, needs color saturation and contrast I guess...
Thanks again you save my tablet.

Motorola XT1068 + TWRP 3.0.2.0 - Warning "No OS Installed" + could be found from adb
Hi,
I want to sell my rooted motorola moto g2 XT1068. I tried delete it and do a factory reset so clicked at twrp to "Wide > Advanced Wipe" and choose all partitions (I think this was a failure) and after that on "Swipe to Factory Reset".
But when I reboot I get the message "No OS Installed!"
I tried to install adb. But it doesn't find any device on my pc. I also installed the motorola driver, but windows can't the my mobile.
What can I do now? I have downloaded the firmware from firmware.center, but how can I install it?
I would be really grateful for your help!
Imagine you restarted your PC to old DOS, formatted it and then tried to start Windows normally - how could you, since you erased everything?
On computers, you would need a CD with the system installing package.
For mobile phones, you need to copy the stock ROM or other custom ROMs for Titan AND proper Gapps on a SD card, insert it in your Moto, enter TWRP recovery and install the two zip files from the external storage card.
If your first run is successful, do not enter your data when asked by the Google wizard and never erase your phone again if you don't have a replacement system prepared.
I loaded the following-Zip Files on my MicroSD Card:
-open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20170825.zip
-crDroidAndroid-7.1.2-20170814-titan-v3.7.zip
But when I put the SD-Card into my motorla and go to recovery ond open the sd-card it shows me and empty MicroSD Card (30420MB) but the MicroSD-Card has a size of 28.7GB (free) and 0.98GB (full).
So what can I do now?
Is this the correct custom file?
How could I install it now?
Should I mound the MicroSD-Card?
The open_gapps are wrong. On their page, check the Android 7.1 box, then MINI and THEN hit the red download button. Move the card into a working phone (or computer), delete the gapps for Android 6, add the new ones, for 7.1 Nougat, then place the micro card back into the target phone.
In TWRP, go to Install -» Select Storage [or browse "Up A Level" to] sdcard1 -» [the folder where you placed the zips or] select crDroid...zip FIRST -» Flash it, then repeat to flash the open_gapps...zip, then REBOOT.
It'll take a few minutes - from 5 to 10 or even more, so have patience.
Thank you for your answer!
I have downloaded the new open_gapps zip file as you said. And replaced the old version on my sd card. Then I put the micro sd card in my motorola as you said. But I couldn't find it over TWRP. I also tried to mounted the micro sd card, but it doesn't help.
Then I tried to restart with the MicroSD-Card, but now I can't reach the TWRP again
Here is the screenshot https://ibb.co/ekCGBk and I tried the different items, but everytime I see the page "warning bootloader unlocked"
Yes, this is how it should look.
Press Volume Key DOWN, you'll reach RECOVERY, then press Volume Key UP to select Recovery.
Recovery = TWRP.
Once in TWRP, hit Install and browse for your zip files to install them.
Also when I go to "Recovery" only the white
"Warning Bootloader Unlocked"-Page is opening
Well, that's not good. Probably all that unnecessary mounting screwed up things.
Take a look at this video.
Then download latest Moto USB drivers.
Then learn about the ADB and Fastboot tool.
Then maybe try to flash the latest TWRP for Titan and restore everything already to how it should be.
I can't reach the phone with fastboot and I can't delete the bootloader warning. But suddenly I could installed the two image filles! Now the new firmware is working.
Is there a possibility to get the original one from motorola?
I also tried to put the "FixBootloaderWarning-Moto-G-2014.zip" on my sd-card to install it over TWRP, but I can't open it (I can only get a black screen when I choose "Recovery")-
