The only way I can emulate your problem is by uninstalling the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers. Are you sure you have installed the drivers? And they work correctly?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosidefcp:
Yes, installed drivers from the drivers flashtool folder. I even selected them all, reinstalled, rrbboted. Everything. I even formated the pc and instaled fresh win7 and reinstalled drivers...dont know whatbi can do more

Hi guys!

I'm new to xposed, but I'm really interested in getting it and start modifying my G3 D855.

I flashed the new version for L 5.0 (which was uploaded at 8/03), but after the boot I keep getting force close messages to LGSmartCover and LGWeather processes. This also happened in the previous version, so I thought the updated one will solve this exceptions issue.

Any idea how to solve this? I really wanna get xposed!

Thanks in advance!

Hi , i've found an activity described some posts ago that we can change the colours of dialer.

For activate it , have to use nova launcher->activities->settings->SIM options.

The options function very well but, then i've chosen the colour and try dialer the color don't change.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Elluel:
It's for dual-SIM devices.

This thread is probably also in the wrong section.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] uio88:
Yes i know, bit i think that it could ne activated already on single SIM, because the activities don't creates any FC.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Elluel:
It would require custom ROM or Xposed modification, I think the entire thing is just disabled to have less impact on the CPU (one fewer calculation) when you only have one SIM. The activity still works, but is not taken into consideration when you only have one SIM.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] bacon612:
anyone able to get this TWRP to work with CM12? I have flashed it successfully in fastboot and it allows me to boot the latest official cm12 3/11 and it boots fine. I cant boot into TWRP. When i use advanced reboot from within CM12 to boot to recovery, it boots to the cyanogenmod recovery and not Twrp.

Edit: I just tried to reboot to recovery using volume up on power up and got into TWRP. Seems that the advanced reboot feature in CM wont allow me to boot to twrp, you have to do it manually.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
I will test it later this weekend :D philz touch works without problems
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rockknee:
Is some (or many of these) recovery compatible with cm updater? Unable to test it just yet, but soon..
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] bacon612:
Not sure. I'll mess around this afternoon. I'm a little confused how I have access to two recoveries
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
cwm is compatible with the cm updater

The others are not tested with the updater
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rockknee:
I was finally able to unlock the bootloader and throw some custom stuff on my tab but... It didn't kinda go the way I thought first :D As a sonynoob I wanted to just install cm first with the instructions from their wiki, well the cm recovery I first installed sucked really bad. I have no idea what the others have done to get adb push (or sideload) working with it but I obviously had a device with cm boot.img and nothing on my internal storage due to unlocking process. And that got damn recovery didn't have option to mount usb-otg nor my fastboot on PC didn't recognize any adb devices, sideload did nothing. I reinstalled all drivers multiple times, still nothing. Then I flashed TWRP from this thread and vòla, everything worked. So I'm very grateful from these recovery images right here! TWRP seems to be very functional, haven't tried cm updates yet tho... :good:

I just tried to boot TWRP recovery from advanced boot menu and it actually worked. Only different most likely is that I installed twrp before I had flashed cm. So if you can't get it to work otherwise you can always try to fastboot erase the whole device and start from scratch by installing first twrp. :D

I have a new z2 tablet with 4.4.4 KitKat and I want to install a custom OS. I already unlocked the bootloader.. Please put me through the steps you followed to achieve this
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] bacon612:
Instruction to flash is in op.

You need to set up your PC with adb and fasboot. (Google)

Put your tab in bootloader mode. Power on and vol down. Blue led indicates you are in bootloader mode.

Use said fast boot command as stated in op to flash the recovery you want.

Use recovery to flash your previously downloaded CyanogenMod build.

Which build of CyanogenMod are you running. Fxp or official from CyanogenMod

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

Second reboot to recovery from cm got me right to twrp. Not sure why it didn't the first time.

What does the fastboot say then? No device found or sth like that? If so, try these drivers http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2635830

Should work after you have installed those.. I had problems with win8 too because PC didn't recognize any fastboot devices. Btw you can always try and see if the device is recognized by "fastboot devices" command.

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

Twrp is compatible as well! :) Just informing even tho you or others might have already noticed that too.. Just flashed the latest nightly succesfully
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] bacon612:
Interesting. Was twrp still there after the nightly flash? Or did it get overwritten with the cm recovery?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rockknee:
It didn't get overwritten. After I had updated one nighlty using cm updater I even did one clean flash (due to random wakelocks I got) and twrp booted from advanced boot menu correctly. Shouldn't this be normal behaviour? It's kinda weird tho to have one recovery on the FOTA partition and other integrated to boot partition, clearly twrp overcomes somehow the cm recovery that is on the boot.. :o
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] spider623:
will this work with the latest lollipop stock?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
no it will not work because the recovery partition is overwritten with some stuff from sony

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] toole:
I finally got it all working.. I had to go into advance boot on my pc to disable driver signing and I was then able to install the fastboot drivers for my tablet.. I've got latest cm 12 working now. Thanks

Any update to TWRP 2.8.6.0???
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
This week i have more time and will update twrp and the pac rom

AT the Moment i work on Stock lollipop kernel

Rcstar6696
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] AllGamer:
seems like the recovery is being replaced automatically.

using:

fastboot.exe flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-castor_windy.img

it completes successfully, but then it doesn't boot into recovery mode, neither by the Power, wait for LED, press volume several times

nor by

adb reboot recovery

according to what i read seems like the stock bootloader replaces the recovery on each reboot, is that true?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Hello

Which rom Do you use?? I have test all recoverys severel times and never get Problems.

Rcstar6696
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
I have build twrp 2.8.6.0 today but its Not working. It Sounds like it has the Same Problem as on z2 Phone.

I hope we will fix it quickly
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] AllGamer:
I was on Stock ROM 4.4.2

just flashed to Stock ROM 4.4.4 to see if it makes any difference.

since you are asking this, I'll assume the recovery are not compatible with the Stock ROM? :confused:
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Yes you are right its Not compatible with Stock Rom its only for cm based Roms like pac or cm itself And the recovery only works on Android 5, Not on Android 4.0- 4.4.4.

For Stock Roms you should use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606

Was there ever any progress on this? I would love a new version of TWRP which works with Android 5.1 on the Xperia.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :
[MENTION=2752725]HotBlack77[/MENTION] and others

I am new to the Z2 Tablet, but I have/had several other Android

devices and I am familiar with rooting and custom roms. So sorry for

newbie question:

Q: are you saying this TWRP does not work with Android 5.1 ?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] bacon612:
It works with cm12.1 for me
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] HotBlack77:
Tried again and it works for me too!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :
I unlocked bootloader of my (new today) SGP512 Z2 Tablet and flashed twrp with

# fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-castor.img

sending 'recovery' (11496 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.363s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.779s]

finished. total time: 1.142s

But I seem to fail to boot into twrp

I tried (from Linux PC connected to via USB)

# fastboot reboot

and tap volume button several times

And normal reboot

and tap volume button several times

And also (from Linux PC connected to via USB)

# adb reboot recovery

But every time I boot into normal system.

I must be missing the obvious, not?

Tablet runs 4.4.4 23.0.1.A.0.167 Android.

question1: Does one need to be rooted first?

question2: Do I need to downgrade Android?

update: If I do (from Linux PC connected to via USB)

# fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-castor.img

blue led goes off and screen stays black, but: I can connect with adb (in fact I am root).

so something can work, but: booting twrp GUI fails.

Hints welcome
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :
update: I installed cm 12.1 and twrp booted after I flashed cm boot.img
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] spider623:
be carefull with that one, we had issues with that version of twrp on nexus 4 and tf201/tf300

---------- Post added at 07:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

cm doesn't install it's recovery unless you say you want it under the developer options after your boot
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :
right, but it was only after I had installed cm's boot.img that I succeeded booting into previously installed twrp.

maybe I had not tried hard enough but it looks like only with cm's boot.img (as opposed to 4.4.4 stock one) I got to see the amber light when rebooting.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
sorry for long absence

i' am back

In the last weeks i had my traineship exam and now i have more freetime

I will update the recoverys in the next days :D
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] spider623:
Stock ROM has no recovery partition........
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :
Right, and note that even with FXP AOSP 5.1 I could not get into TWRP. But, consistently, with FXP CM-12.1 boot.img I can. So I can play around what/how ever I want and still recover somehow.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
I'm not sure but i think the asop Version hasn't the hijak to Boot into recovery.if its not integreated you don't have recovery partition
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] HotBlack77:
Is anybody using device encryption on cm 12.1 with TWRP 2.8.5.0? TWRP will not accept my PW to decrypt the partion, but it works fine when doing a normal boot.

Is this fixed in TWRP 2.8.6.0?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] MueKo:
Thanks for this fine recovery build.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] Nazo:
I really want to thank the OP for this. I do hope the Z2 Tablet will continue to see updates (TWRP is already up to 2.8.7.0 now with some nice fixes thrown in such as an option to not check free space when doing a backup, which is handy if one uses compression) and I think it's kind of sad that it has to be unofficial support. TWRP needs to add this device already.

On every other device I've used TWRP 2.8.5.0 and lower do not support the newer CM11+ encryption algorithm. I can't speak for 2.8.6.0 as I've decided it's just not worth the risk of rendering a system where the recovery can't access the internal storage at all... (Namely on my HTC M7 and Nexus 7 which don't have a SD card slot mind you. This Z2 tablet I'm working on is someone else's.) As such, I haven't messed with it.

Is CM10 available for the Z2 tablet? If so, one trick I found did actually work the last time I messed with encryption (quite a while ago on my SGS3) was to install CM10, encrypt with it, then update from there. This basically leaves the older encryption in place.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rockknee:
Does anyone know what happens if I would like to try and install a modified stock ROM using TWRP from this recovery? I know these recoveries get installed on "fota" partition and stock ROM uses it for updating purposes (as I've heard). So will this whole thing work out or will the flashing process fail?

I am new on Z2 Tablet, but not new in Cyanogenmod and Recovery, but i am a little confused :confused::confused:

All my devices have CM and TWRP recovery installed, but on the Z2 it seems a little "different"

I read and hope this is right:

Optional: Backup the "Trim Area" to go back to original ROM

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Install boot.img from CM12.1 with ADB

fastboot flash boot boot.img

3. Install TWRP with ADB:

fastboot flash recovery *name of the recoveryimage you downloaded*.img

4. fastboot reboot, hold the volume up key

5. Flash CM and GAAPS from internal storage or SD Card or ADB Sideload with the CM Recovery

6. Reboot

7. CM comes up

Acess to TWRP only from the Reboot option in CM ? :confused:
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] smoschi:
I got same Problems. Cant install any recovery on cm12.1 and in dev. Options i deactivated "auto cyanogen Recovery"?!?

What i can do? Itmismthe last time that i installed cyanogenmod! On nexus devices same same. What the cyanogenmod team are doing? The cyanogen Recoveries are really bull****, no functions like: no restore or create backups, no wipe dalvik, no format sytem options. Nothing, and why is so difficult to install another recovery?
