TWRP updated to 2.8.7.2 including latest commits. Download at the bottom (see Dec25 file). Selinux permissive is set, so, should work on all roms. Remember, unzip and flash in fastboot.

I know there is a bunch of different TWRP recoveries for our Z1, including the official one. Well. This one is for Fota. It was compiled in Z1 build environment with all the appropriate flags. And brightness is working fine. Why brightness is important? Because at maximum brightness your phone will overheat to over 65 degrees during flashing. And thanks to previously wrong value, the brightness level in other TWRPs is 15 times the maximum one.
You can flash this one in fastboot like this: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Just make sure that your kernel does not have inbuilt TWRP, because 2 identical recoveries will conflict with each other. Unzip first...
For those who would like to know what's new, look here: https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/q/project:android_bootable_recovery
In this build, I have also reduced default vibration to 28/28/28, but you can set in Settings to whatever you want.
can you publish your settings to get brightness working ? would be nice to complete official sources from twrp !

My commit was merged about 2 months ago by Slimroms. See their /device/sony/rhine-common. There is a flag for brightness that should be 255 instead of 4095. So, the changes are not in TWRP sources, but in the rhine tree...
Edit: Here is the commit: https://github.com/SlimRoms/device_sony_rhine-common/commit/7d64159d87d948926ebd40485deb18f9c292abbe
ok will try it out if it works with my tree
Thanks for posting.
I guess since this is FOTA it will not work with roms with recovery in boot like Jaguar?

That's right, but I am planning to update Jaguar's kernel. So, when it is done, I will
post it without recovery, so this one can work.
But it really makes no difference...

Try, but there is a separate branch for TWRP for M. And anyway, M is not usable yet and won't be for a long time...
Thanks for this one!
I do however seem to experience an issue when trying another ROM like CM.
With your ROM I can reboot into this recovery but with CM I get a black screen. When using another older TWRP recovery I used when rooting both ROMS boot fine into recovery.

Hey there~
For some reason this recovery is not working for me at all. It won't start after flashing it, just a black screen.
The original twrp 2.8.7.0 from twrp.me is working, though. But I'd rather get your version to work because of the brightness control.
Could you help me please? >.<

Are you sure you are doing everything right? Does your kernel have a builtin recovery? If that's the case, you will have problems. Have you updated your bootloader with Emma? Before flashing (in fastboot), do this: fastboot erase recovery; and then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Make sure you are not mistyping: the command means fastboot has to flash recovery.img to recovery partition. If you have FOTA, then there is a chance flash recovery may not work.

Thanks for your answer. I tried flashing it exactly like you suggested, but the result was the same - black screen. My kernel does not have an inbuilt recovery and no, I didn't update my bootloader with Emma. That means I can only use FOTA, right? But I thought this recovery IS indeed for FOTA?
It's strange that the original TWRP is working, but yours doesn't.. even though they're both for FOTA..

Happened to me once.
Try wiping FOTAKernel partition first, with:
Code:
fastboot erase FOTAKernel
and then flash the recovery with
Code:
fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
where recovery.img is your recovery.

Did you try with another kernel? If it worked then, you can trace the problem to the kernel itself, and not the device or your flashing methodology.
Recovery updated to 2.8.7.2. See OP for download...
Related
Now we have official TWRP support, so this thread will not be updated anymore. For more info about official TWRP visit this thread.
Tired waiting for someone to repack kernel with your favorite version of recovery? Or tired to run recovery script every time you update your ROM or kernel? Now you don't need any repacked kernels or recovery-scripts. Use your FOTAKernel as recovery partition!
It works on any kernel with extract_elf_ramdisk utility (it's built in mostly all kernels for custom ROMs, but I am not sure) by @Dees_Troy. And don't forget, that you are doing on your own risk, I am not responsible for bricked devices, acid rains or thermonuclear war.
Installation:
Download zip and flash it via your current recovery. If your current recovery is unusable, you can flash it via terminal emulator:
- Extract FOTAKernel.img and place it to the root of your external SD-card
- Type su and grant root access
- Type
Code:
dd if=/ext_card/FOTAKernel.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
- Reboot to recovery to test if it works (if not, try again and check if you are doing it correctly).
Download:
TWRP 2.8.7.0
TWRP 2.8.6.0 (this and next versions are compiled for Xperia M by me)
Older versions and CWM:
TWRP 2.8.5.0 (port from Xperia L)
TWRP 2.8.4.0 (thanks to @Rohan purohit for bringimg it for Xperia L, I just ported and modded it)
TWRP 2.8.0.0/CWM (or scroll down, it's right below this post)
You can restore original FOTAKernel image by following instructions in this post (or just scroll down, it is 3rd post, lol).
Some info:
Sony Xperia devices don't have recovery partition. Instead of this in custom kernels is used recovery-in-boot conception with two-stage boot (ramdisk-recovery is packed inside main ramdisk). And there is partition called FOTAKernel that is used for installing official FOTA (firmware-over-the-air) updates. After unlocking your bootloader this partition becomes redundant, because you cannot use OTA function anymore. So it may be used for storing recovery ramdisk. And this very useful future was implemented by recognized developer @Dees_Troy (lead TWRP developer), he developed utility extract_elf_ramdisk (it is merged to almost all kernels for Sony devices), it extracts recovery ramdisk from FOTA partition instead of using regular one from boot image. So even after updating or changing your kernel or ROM you don't lose your current recovery! Here is some info from Dees_Troy.

Restoring original image
- You can restore original FOTAKernel flashing it via Flashtool by flashing any firmware (just uncheck everything in "wipe" section and uncheck everything in "exclude" section excluding "FOTA" like in attached screenshot).
- Or install attached zip via recovery or flash FOTAKernel.img from archive as it is written in OP.

I don't know for sure. Download both recoveries, try to flash one that differs from yours and reboot recovery. If it changes, that means it works on CM11 kernel. BTW, even if it doesn't work on CM11, it will work when you will flash CM12 kernel. So you can flash it to be prepared.

No, it needs custom kernel, that includes extract_elf_ramdisk, stock kernel doesn't. BTW, there are CWM-included kernels for all stock ROMs. And TWRP is not available for stock. I can try repacking stock kernel with TWRP, but I doubt it will work.

I read sources of extract_elf_ramdisk utility. And found there something about uncompressed ramdisk size, there is limitation to 8 Mb by default. So, I think, we should reduce ramdisk size by removing unnecessary or redundant files and binaries (must be done very carefully) or to commit change in our kernel.
I'm confused, does it work for locked bootloader?

I read these sources. And 49th line defines size of uncompressed ramdisk. But now I am not sure, which one is used in our kernel. I suppose, that newer one.
Introduction
Disclaimer: While this TWRP has been tested by myself on my own device to flash, wipe and backup, I make no warranties as to it's performance. Use at your own risk.
WARNING: flashable version contains a kernel boot image which will be flashed to your device along with the recovery image.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation instructions
This recovery image is for the E6553 single SIM Z3+. Do not use it on another model.
This recovery image requires an unlocked bootloader. You will lose some functionality on your phone if you unlock your bootloader
Do your research and make sure you're using the latest version of the relevant tools if you do decide to unlock.
DO NOT enable MyXperia functionality if you've unlocked your bootloader. You will brick your device.
This first download of this recovery image CANNOT be flashed to your phone and must be used in fastboot mode only
The second download is a flashable recovery
Use the first version to flash the second dual-boot.zip version
Unzip the recovery.zip file to extract the recovery.img file to use in fastboot mode
Code:
C:\>adb reboot bootloader
C:\>fastboot boot recovery.img
C:\>adb push dual-boot.zip /sdcard/dual-boot.zip
C:\>adb push dual-boot.zip.md5 /sdcard/dual-boot.zip.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now use the TWRP install feature to install dual-boot.zip. Follow the prompts of the Aroma graphical installer.
CAVEAT: this extends the boot time by about 5 - 10 seconds as ramdisk images need to be unpacked and there's a wait on a keypress to determine whether to enter recovery mode. In order to boot into recovery, press power on. When you see the yellow LED come on then press the down volume button once or twice. You will then boot into TWRP.
NOTE: the dual-boot.zip installs a new 28.0.A.8.251 kernel. If you're using the autoroot kernel from Devries you will need to flash SuperSU to re-root your device
This dual boot/recovery works by flashing the recovery image to the FOTAkernel partition. A custom ramdisk image contains the normal boot image. If the down volume keypress is detected, then the recovery ramdisk is automatically extracted from the FOTAKernel partition and flow of control switches to recovery. If no keypress is detected then the normal ramdisk is extracted and normal android boot ensues.
Those of you who installed version 1.0 please download and install this version 1.1 to fix the error with the startup of the trim area daemon

I'd venture to suggest that it's highly unlikely that locked bootloader recovery could work. The DM_VERITY is almost a guarantor of that. Just search for CONFIG_DM_VERITY or Verity in the Z3+ forums for more info.
Even if an exploit works, the second it modifies the system partition, the kernel panics and refuses to boot. The only way of preventing that is to flash a new kernel or edit the ramdisk to remove the verity key. And the only way to flash a new kernel / edit the ramdisk is to unlock the bootloader.
Thank you first for development... maazing!
I have unlocked the bootloader via Sony and then used an boot.img from Devries to root as root was my primary goal. I have flashbooted as per instructions the TWRP recovery.img that is provided here by the awesome dl12345 .
However the issue is that I am unable to boot to recovery after rebooting from TWRP. In other words the flashboot works and I am able to make a backup and use TWRP well but it doesn't seem to stick.
Am I doing something wrong. Should I have flashed a ROM first from xperfirm, Flashtools, and/or can I flash a kernel without it effecting the recovery. My knowledge is sketchy but I am totally up for testing if I can help.

This is correct behaviour. You're not actually flashing the recovery image, just temporarily booting a recovery kernel and associated ramdisk. Sony Xperia devices don't have a recovery partition, or more accurately, they don't have a bootloader than can check and load a boot image from a recovery partition.
Technically it's possible to make the boot image check for a ramdisk on another partition and use this instead of the normal ramdisk, but this is step two. Sony should be releasing an open recovery bootloader fairly soon for the Z3+ which will allow this recovery image to be flashed. It's already been released for other devices.
Until Sony releases open recovery for Z3+ or I spend the time trying to implement a feature that probably only has days or weeks of utility (until Sony releases the open recovery for Z3+) , you're stuck with a TWRP that you need to launch every time in fastboot mode.
On the first screen immediately after the TWRP logo comes up, the battery is always being reported at being 50%. Sometimes the correct number is displayed when in the flashing screen. Otherwise works great!

Hello guys.
Today i will post a kernel that i (just run the wizard to) created for Z3+ dual variant version 32.2.A.0.224. My simple contribution!
This kernel contents:
-RIC disable
-TWRP
-root
-dm-verity
How to install it:
Run this command at command prompt,
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Or.....
Use the Flashtools in a fastboot mode, then choose the Flash option by DoomLord.
Please, Don't thanks me. All the hard work was performed by Mr. Tobias Waldvogel in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605
So, if you like this kernel, please pay a coffe for this guy!
Ps. I already tested on my Z3+ and everything it's okay, so i will not responsable about any brinks or damage in use this kernel!
Ps2: DON'T use this kernel on single model. I don't know whats happens!:silly:
Hello，i've already flashed your boot.img. then i try to flash SuperSu2.6.5.zip. Everything is just fine.

No flashing a kernel doesn't wipe anything, if you're having a dilemma then take a backup of everything like apps, contacts etc using titanium backup, copy the backup folder to your external memory or computer then flash.
Hope it helps.
P. S ONLY INSTALLING A RECOVERY WIPES EVERYTHING.

Can you tell me how long it took for the first boot?
Cause mine is stuck at 'Starting Applications' for about 8 minutes.
Edit : Couldn't wait it took almost 20mins with no progress so shut it down using power + volume up key and went into recovery wiped dalvik/cache and installed supersu 2.66 and again wiped then rebooted. Now it's showing optimising apps. The only problem is it's not charging. Usually at this stage when i connect my charger the charger led starts glowing but now nothing. Any ideas?

Yeah, this also happens to my device when I flashed the kernel.
Edit: It just stuck at the boot screen with blinking red LED notification.

I just found out to use this kernel i should have .244 firmware i bet you're at .185 so update it to .244 then try this kernel. I'm just downloading the firmware now using Xperifirm(https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...9Q4Ht-00R24lisYcw&sig2=ac8ImW1ZY7AvFSZpG9I9mA) and i'll post what i did to the phone after the update.

Hello guys.
Today i will post a kernel that i (just run the wizard to) created for Z3+ dual variant version 32.2.A.0.224. My simple contribution!
This kernel contents:
-RIC disable
-TWRP
-root
-dm-verity
How to install it:
Run this command at command prompt,
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Or.....
Use the Flashtools in a fastboot mode, then choose the Flash option by DoomLord.
Please, Don't thanks me. All the hard work was performed by Mr. Tobias Waldvogel in this thread:

Okay ?
Running Lollipop 5.0.1 and when i flash the kernel i get not orange/yelllow LED. How do i go into recovery?
Also got no super su app.
I meant to flash it with "fastboot flash recovery boot.img" from Android/android-sdk/platform-tools. Correct?

It's for 6.0.1 so don't flash it for 5.0.1, update the firmware then flash it cause Sony would have updated somethings in the kernel which won't work with old firmwares. The reason for boot working is maybe because of the phone rebooting from fastboot mode.
Hope it helped. [emoji4]

offcourse.
Sorry for the noob question but I need to know the prerequisites,
Can I flash the Kernel right after flashing stock file OR....
Do I need to first unlock my bootloader
Do I need to have backed up my TA partition
hi there, i wanna update form .185 to .224. is it possible to update without wipe the data? and if it can, if i wanna root it, i just flash this kernel after fw upgrade, then flash supersu via twrp, am i right? thanks
If Xperia Z3+ Dual can't be bootloader unlocked, what's the point in this kernel?!
Important: official TWRP does NOT backup the EFS partition correctly while this one does. Do NOT restore an EFS backup that you did not take on the same build of TWRP as the one you're currently using. You will lose IMEI

You can flash a recovery using fastboot (
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
).
Other method, if you already have a custom recovery (I suspect official twrp), go to the directory where you placed the recovery.img, press install img at the bottom of the twrp screen and the img should be visible.
Select it, tap on recovery and swipe to flash/install.

If you are on a locked bootloader you must make sure that you ALWAYS flash twrp while booted into Android, using the dd command
Code:
dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

Just an FYI: official twrp builds are built by a bot, oneplus 2 doesn't have a twrp maintainer and nobody is reviewing the code that goes into twrp for our device
You really shouldn't use the official twrp builds
no comments, that means no issues. good job
Twrp 3.2.0 was released today so a new build for that is out
Please test and report bugs

Yes. You probably have never flashed something or you just don't know all features of twrp.
You can flash a recovery using fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Other method, if you already have a custom recovery (I suspect official twrp), go to the directory where you placed the recovery.img, press install img at the bottom of the twrp screen and the img should be visible.

Thanks but FYI I know all the methods of flashing recovery but currently I don't have access to a PC so just in case something goes wrong I won't be able to use recovery therefore was a little cautious so asking for twrp process of flashing.

Use Flashify.

Sad to say but this twrp doesnt come close to the latest official. I experienced lag and slow rates.
Hi all,
I tried to install official twrp 3.2 from within twrp 3.1. and ran into issues. The recovery overall got deleted and the phone's bootloader got locked. Besides, 'allow OEM Unlock' toggle in developer options is not working. I'm seriously in a mess now.
Can someone pls detail the steps of installing this enhanced TWRP on a locked bootloader like mine? Would be extremely thankful.

If your phone is rooted, you might want to give flashfire or flashify a try.

You must patch the rom to provide SuperSU's binaries at boot with oxygenos recovery and a signed boot.img
After booting you have to flash twrp using dd
Instructions for doing so are in the haruhirom thread
This definitely isn't for beginners
hi there,
i used crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180606-riva-v4.3 but there were color problems i didnt know 2 fix so i decided 2 flash a new rom resp. a newer version but no custom rom boots up.
when it tries 2 boot is freezes at the boot screen, then screen switches off and nothing happens. i can go 2 fastboot and recovery.
sometimes it boots up but after a few seconds it freezes 2.
i tried different roms and recoveries but nothing works.
i foolishly wiped internal storage once but then i flashed the stock rom again which boots up. then i unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery and a rom again but the same error is there (no booting up)
anyone got a solution for this problem? no unbricking suggestions plz
edit: im in the wrong thread i think. i wanted 2 post it in "Guides, News, & Discussion". cant delete it. sry for that
logs
so i managed 2 create logs while booting up.
1) https://pastebin.com/cgrX2DA1
2) https://pastebin.com/r7DmcN46
3) https://pastebin.com/0pwXyuys
4) https://pastebin.com/S41FG2SQ
1) is 1st part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
2) is 2nd part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
3) is 1st part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
4) is 2nd part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
i also tried 2 log "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kernel_message_log.txt"
and "dmesg > /sdcard/kernel_boot_log.txt" via terminal in linux but it only sais file or directory not found.
i hope sum1 can give me sum help now.
so i did this https://en.miui.com/thread-3921604-1-1.html but it doesnt help. as i expected.
any1? i can post more information if necessary. just say which and perhaps how ;D
cmon guys. i can impossibly b the only 1 who faces this problem.
i dont think its a hardware thing cause stock rom and android 7.1.2 (viper os) work. maybe a vendor problem? could flash another vendor img solve this problem? can sum1 send me his?
i got sum more logs after flashing rr 7.0:
logcat 1st part: https://pastebin.com/EBZAgbhF
logcat 2nd part: https://pastebin.com/qaMFrvxi

Fastboot flash latest miui 10 stable using mi flash tool and use the rom after setting up. Then flash custom recovery and do a full wipe.
This works for most cases.

Well it worked for me.
Which custom rom you want to use?
well, it doesnt matter 2 me. the main thing is that it works =D rr, aex, crdroid..

Crdroid is my choice because aex and rr are very early builds. I like pixel experience but the devs not updating it so crdroid or havoc os.
Like i said use Xiaomi flash tool and flash miui 10 stable via fastboot method(there are 3 options in the bottom select flash all instead of flash and lock to avoid unlocking the bootloader again), don't flash anything else, setup and use the phone, flash recovery wipe all and format, install rom, don't flash gapps yet, boot into rom and see if its fixed.
Use vendor based recovery, if using batik recovery you have to flash batik recovery again after format.
This is my solution.

i did it several times before but 2 b safe i did it again like that:
i flashed riva_global_images_V10.1.1.0.NCKMIFI_20181029.0000.00_7.1_global_f444c158ed.tgz using XIAOMI-TOOL-MiFlash-for-Linux-by-IceMan-master. im on linux mint 18.3. i have 4 options:
flash_all_lock.sh
flash_all_lock_crc.sh
flash_all_except_data_storage.sh
flash_all.sh
i chose flash_all.sh
i booted into the stock rom and set it up, enabled dev options and adb.
then i switched it off, went into bootloader, flashed twrp-3.2.3-0-riva.img via fastboot.
after that i entered twrp, flashed OrangeFox-R8.3-riva.zip and rebooted into recovery
i wiped everything except external sd and usb otg (i dont have these)
after a reboot intorecovery i formatted data then rebooted in recovery
i flahed crDroidAndroid-9.0-20181002-riva-v5.0.zip
then reboot into system
no success as i expected! wtf is wrong wtf. this cant b true!
but thank u very much for ur efforts! perhaps i would try 2 restore a vendor img from sum1 which rom does work. i know its a great demand but could u send me urs? ;D i dont know if there r sum personal info..
best regards
Don't give up there might be a solution.
Pray to God for some help.

Currently I am using Xiaomi.eu beta rom. You can check their website for all the features. Its smooth, stable and can update without needing to got the recovery:victory:
This should work for you because unlike other roms this is based on miui for riva. That means you will get updates till Xiaomi ditches support for riva.
I recommend you use this rom over the global rom until you fix the problem with your phone.
Some things missing:
Choice of region is limited( India is not available)
There is no custom kernel available for miui oreo as of now.
Magisk safetynet not passed
If you're going flash this rom you need to be on latest global beta fastboot rom and need a recovery that supports oreo base.
I use batik recovery base oreo.

dont u have 2 wait 2 weeks or so till bootloader is unlocked?
what exactly do u mean with won't boot up? bootloop? or stuck at boot logo?
after flashing a custom recovery, did u boot directly into the system or did u try 2 boot into recovery? sometimes the stock recovery overwrites the custom 1 when stock rom boots up
my problem is solved. i remembered that i made a full nandroid backup with twrp before i flashed a new rom and the problem appeared. so i restored everything i backed up with twrp (incl cust) and voila, rom booted up. and i can wipe system and data and flash every rom i wanna and it still boots up \o/
i really could have tried it earlier but i didnt think of this untill yesterday ;D
well, thx for ur efforts anyway buddy @NaAnBcEhEuL9A8K7
