Thanks.
Verify the root method,you can used adb shell su or install RootExplorer.apk.

Good work buddy. Much appreciated for sharing.
Am just testing my new I9500 (for warranty purposes) first, and then will apply the CWM & root.
Currently have I9500XXUAMDE, but downloading the newer Thai firmware I9500XXUAMDL. Hopefully this method will work. Will report back later if nobody reports success for this firmware before hand.
Edit, for all those following this thread, don't forget to make a nandroid BEFORE applying the root.
Cheers,
UITA
Edit: HotFile link "404 - Not Found"

I wrote the same in the development tread, so make copy here ...
Hi cofface, thank you for your recovery and root.
I have a question. Your recovery make backup with strange path - /data/media/, but user-accessed area of inner-memory have path - /data/media/0. So we don't have easy access to backup via PC connection. Is this possible to change path for backup?

Both links not working

I already rooted with your previous recovery which has worked fine. Whats the story on this one, any need to upgrade to it? As I read it this is just to enable the same recovery for newer firmwares that the older version wasn't working with? I'm on DE and there was no update available to me in Kies.

Not working for - I9500XXUAMDL

Not Working for I9500XXUAMDK

Works fine on SHV-E300S(SGS4 in Korea, EXYNOS 5410).
Flashing update.zip files and wiping cache and dalvik-cache works flawless
Thx a lot dev!

[Kernel][Recovery][CM12]TWRP and CWM recoveries for Lollipop (CM12) [discontinued]

CM12 now comes with CyanogenMod recovery, which is unusable for now. So here are repacked kernels with TWRP and CWM.
For now, use Recovery-in-FOTA images! This thread probably will not be updated anymore. Also you can use this script.
Download TWRP (for PecanCM's Beta 3, not flashable)
Older versions (CWM included):
for FXP-2015-0115:
1. TWRP
2. CWM
For FXP-2015-0110 build:
1. TWRP (with fixed app2sd)
2. CWM
For PecanCM's 01.03 build:
1. CWM
2. TWRP
3. TWRP 2.8.3.0 (new)
For PecanCM's Beta 2:
1. CWM
2. TWRP
Thanks to:
@osm0sis for Android Image kitchen for Windows (and to @FindYanot and @Bonoboo for discovering it for me).
@JustArchi for compiling TWRP 2.8.3.0 for our device in ArchiDroid 3.0.1.1
Installation:
1. Extract archive to the root of external sdcard and run in terminal emulator su then /ext_card/flash_kernel.sh
or in adb adb shell /ext_card/flash_kernel.sh
2. Flash boot.img drom archive via fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img) or fastbootmode in Flashtool
These are obsolete, but will work though
3. Via adb:
- Place boot.img to the root of internal sd (adb push *path*\boot.img /sdcard/ (replace *path* with path to file on your PC))
- adb shell dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
4. Via Terminal emulator (you can download it on Play Store):
- Place boot.img to the root of internal sd
- Enter su and allow superuser access
- Type dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot

I want warn, that at least CWM (probably and TWRP) not backup apps moved to sdcard.
Because it "don't know" that they on external sdcard1, not on sdcard0
So manually copy folder .android_secure only on PC via cardreader.
Or using RootExplorer copy all from /mnt/asec/
But restoring will be hard because it must performed before boot.

Hi @cucumber09 , I just wanted to know what are the changes in this kernel and original kernel except the recovery change...
Please tell..!

There are no other changes, I didn't rebuild the kernel, I just repacked it with replacing recovery ramdisk using very simple script.

Is it possible to restore them using AromaFM, or is this folder unmounting when the phone is not booted in system?

A little question
Err @cucumber09 Is this the same overclocked kernel from FindYanot or is this the stock kernel that's not oc? Cuz when i flashed this just now the performance is slower than FindYanot's kernel.

XtremeWave said:

There no any word about overclock in first post.
So it's without overclock = nothing surprising that it's slower than with.

Yeah. You're right. Please don' t think of me as an idiot nor undestimate. I'm 11, but I rooted and unlocked the BL of my C1904 just to get Cm11 in 2012, I was just wondering as he said repacked etc. So i guess i have to TRY other things. Well the kernel's fine. Just that I wanted an oc cwm kernel.
Thanks @ Bonoboo

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------
Well TWRP is great. But I prefer CWM

UPDATED!
Recoveries are updated for new build (press thanks to Bonoboo). Dload links are in the OP.

New TWRP version
Kernel with new version of TWRP (2.8.3.0), wich should be more compatible with Lollipop. Compiled by sir @JustArchi. I didn't test it on LP yet. If someone will test it, let me know is it working as it should. Changelog is here (our previous version is 2.8.0.0).
UPD: I already tested it: recovery works, but I don't know, is there any bugs.

Will this recovery work on 5.0.2 as well??

Flashable TWRP v2.8.7.0 for Sony Z3+ E6553 Ivy_Kitakami

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!

Yes, I've temporarily disabled the link while I resolve a problem relating to the trim area daemon not starting up due to some peculiarity of the dual boot ramdisk. I'll reinstate it as soon as I fix the problem.

[Discussion]Acer Z220 Root, Recovery, TWRP, Rom

I happened to own a Acer Z220, I want to root it and get xposed framework for additional feature (a 3rd party rom is not expected at this stage:crying.
I find some good stuff from http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=674828, if someone speaks Russian, please ask if vm03 could update the twrp to the latest.
What I want is an updated version of TWRP.
ps: Since this unpopular phone has no excising Root+Recovery solution around, I decide to post what I have concluded so far.
-------------------------------------what I have concluded so far---------------------------------------------------------------
boot into recovery:

How to do a nand backup(without flashing a 3rd party recovery)
boot into fastboot
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot devices (make sure your device is there)
fastboot boot twrp.img (doing this also test if the 3rd party recovery will work for your device before you acturally flash it)
now you in twrp
Only working Root method:
I had tried many method, only KingRoot works.
Ps:
You might require a second try for a success root, and you "might" lost root access after restart.
How to flash a 3rd party recovery (after rooted)
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p25
assuming your recovery block is the same as mine, or try:
# dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
# reboot recovery
Ps:
Since I really dislike the root manager bundled with KingRoot, thus repeated some of the above steps to get clean system with TWRP+SuperSU.

Dead Links.
Your dropbox link is dead. Please fix. Also, by chance do you have a system.img for the Z220? KingRoot modified my install-recovery.sh and now I cannot OTA update. TIA!

Does anyone have a link for the TWRP? I really need it right now.
--PokeAcer

does anyone have cwm or twrp acer z220

Root it by kingroot. Change it with SuperSU . ( google kingroot to SuperSU) . The one in used terminal emulator. Now u have SuperSU installed
For custom recovery, i can't help u . However , u can use flashfire to flash xposed framework. Download xposed framework , and flash the zip file ( exposed framework) with flashfire. Don't check auto mount , just proceed . After that , scroll down to everRoot option, and check all box inside it. After u done , flash. Last , install xposed installer. and voila!
My advice : don't use xposed framework if u don't know what you are doing . If something gone wrong , reflash ur Acer with a stock ROM ( u can get it from S4trio blog )
Keep in mind that flashfire only working with SuperSU.

The TWRP image is gone (404), does anyone else have a copy?
