[REQUEST] [Q&A] How to create TWRP recovery for a unsupported device [HELP REQUIRED]

I have done a lot of research, watched a lot of video tutorials, went through dozens of threads and forums but nothing worked for me. Right now my first priority is to make and install a TWRP recovery as i need it to install my OTA Update on my tablet. The Stock recovery is giving a Error 7 (Signature verification error). I tried to remove the asserts from the the updater-script but it made the matter worse.

All I'm asking right now is what do i need to make a TWRP recovery, which files do i need, which software do i need, can somebody help me making it?

I also tried the MTK tools but no success.

My device is Ainol Novo Spark II, running on Android 4.4, kernel ver. 3.4.5, Stock recovery, Stock rom, rooted, Actions7039 based device, ARMv7 Quad-Core processor, Screen density 320dpi, etc.

Any help is appreciated!

[Sprint LG G4] Nawafsmart:
I bought a mobile phone from ebay site and upon the arrival of the phone turns out to be closed for the telecommunications company has been sprint communicate with the company, but asked for the secret PIN number and generosity I have tried to communicate with the seller, he said, that he took the phone without a SIM card !!

How i can unlock the phone to another SIM card , will i traviiled to my countre !?
[Sprint LG G4] GravyD:
Some sprint phones have sim cards available. I'd probably check and see if the imei is flagged or not.
[Sprint LG G4] leond:
the phone can only be unlocked for international GSM use by sprint and only if the phone is activated on sprint network. If you can't use it on Sprint netowork, return it or re-sell, but first check with sprint if it can be activated. If it is blacklisted and cannot be activated you can still sell it for parts as "bad ESN" if the seller will not accept the return.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] AhsanU:
There appears to be no discussion thread about root for the Z4/Z3+, so I thought one was in order.

I'm currently about as useful as a snooze button on a smoke alarm in terms of obtaining root. I'm curious - is there any development going on to root our devices? I'd love to donate and what not to possibly speed it up.

Let's talk!
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] shafiq01:
BL unlock is not listing this device on Sony open devices

Flashtool from androxyde doesn't have the device listed as well, so I doubt BL could be unlocked.

Regarding development

I managed to unpack the blog_fs FILE'S from Emma so there we have the kernel.sin maybe we could unpack it with Android image kitchen, but I didn't succeed, Android magic was missing or something like that!?

If that could be possible, then we could repack twrp radish with zimage of the kernel.sin and perhaps have a working recovery maybe as FOTAkernel.

But that's just wishful thinking :D

First we need unlocked BL

And then we also have all the loss of DRM keys. TA partition and all that also needs to be in place, unless we're willing sacrifice a bit hehe...
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Handy0:
I'm also interested in Rooting my device, but the question is; would the dual Sim (E6533) be different than the single Sim device (in terms of rooting of course)?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] GhostLeader:
I unlocked my Z4T SGP712 (WiFi)

Could it work as well?

You can unlock your device by chosing Z3... No need for Z4/Z3+ on Sony Unlock page.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] AhsanU:
Even with a bootloader unlock, is there any custom recovery for the Z3+?

Sent from my Xperia Z3+ E6553
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] janjan:
Did any one try to unlock their Sony Xperia Z+ yet? Or any one try to see if it is unlockable by following steps.

You can check if it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device in the service menu by following the steps below:In your device, open the dialler and enter*#*#7378423#*#**to access the service menu.Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

I am going to build a custom recovery incase the bootloader unlock allow says Yes..

Update: Yes it is allow to unlock the bootloader. I am waiting for my device then start working
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] boo85:
Yup, mine allows the bootloader to be unlocked too. I would think that the international version should allow for that :)

Look forward to your custom recovery then!
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] AhsanU:
I'm quite looking forward to it as well. If we can get a custom recovery going, then we'll be able to get root right? It's just a matter of being able to flash SuperSU through the custom recovery? Pardon my ignorance.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] hasona:
Its a step but we need to find a root exploit too :)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] the_brad:
Ok, got mine a few days ago. Tranfer of apps and data was sh**** as hell without titatnium backup!

I don't have any usable knoledge in programming, but if there's something to test or try, I'm volunteering ;)

If some of the devs for other xperias has any idea, I'll test it.

Hoping to get root, very soon.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] xDope:
Yup, same here. I'll test if needed =)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] deecept:
Me too! Single SIM Z3+.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] projectseahorse:
my Dual Sims E6533 says that bootloader unlock is not allowed. Does that mean my phone cannot be rooted? I think its the HK version, I got it on Amazon in the USA. Any tips or advices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] boo85:
By right if the bootloader unlock is stated as not allowed, you can only root your phone through an exploit. Other xperia phones exploits have been found (like my previous z2, i rooted it without unlocking the bootloader), I most certainly do hope one can be found for z3+ as it would allow all the DRM stuff to be backed up and its "neater" imo.

Otherwise, if no exploit is found, then no, you would not be able to root without unlocked the bootloader to install a custom rom.

However please check if you signed in to myXperia service. If you did, you just need to sign out and reboot, then your status would be back to allowed. That is only if originally the bootloader is allowed to be unlocked.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] ccsdken:
Thanks! My dual E6533 is not allow unlock too. Than I sign out myXperia and reboot, It becomes to Yes.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] AhsanU:
At this point, I see no mention of anyone working on any sort of exploit for the Z3+, this is a bit disheartening! I'm considering the new OnePlus device at this point since I'm sure root will not be an issue for that phone. It'd be a shame if it came to that since I love the feel of the Z3+

Sent from my Xperia Z3+ E6553
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] GCbard:
mine said no. Does that mean I can never install a custom recovery and custom ROMS?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] hush66:
Did you activate your MyXperia app? If so, this could result in your phone indicating that the bootloader is not unlockable, even though it actually is. If you didn't activate this app and it still says no, then yes, it's not unlockable and you will not be able to install custom kernels / ROMs. Note that custom recovery can still work on rooted phones with locked bootloaders.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] GCbard:
i looked into my applications and did not see a myxperia app. Just xperia lounge. I did install the current firmware using sony pc companion.

I am new to xperia. I had htc one and google nexus phones prior to this that I have rooted and such. I am experience but not in xperia. Any suggestions for rooting that you know works>
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] danprs:
uhm where is this myXperia app you guys are talking about? I searched the app store and the phone and cannot find it. Under settings, there is a "Xperia Connectivity" section, but no option to sing out.

Googling the app did give some results and I did land on this page, which I was logged into. I logged out and rebooted the phone, still says "No" to unlock bootloader.
[Android Head-Units] rel1988:
Hello everyone,

Lets start a new post, that will help each other to get familiar with new/top/best/must apps for android head units. :good:

I think it would be best if we stick to "TOP-10" per post...or maybe TOP per category (Navigation, music, etc etc...)

and thats because we can easily get dragged to top-30 top-50 , and that will be extremely confusing.. :angel:

Requirements - The apps must be fully/mostly compatible with android head-units.

Doesn't matter if they are free or not.

Thanks! :)
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Tasker
[Android Head-Units] rel1988:
Tasker

what special settings/conditions did you define in tasker?

Might have some good tips for us ;)
[Android Head-Units] qtpie70:
I got poweramp installed to replace the stock music app. I used HeadUnit to forward steering wheel next/forward buttons to poweramp. It works great so far. Next, i want to configure poweramp to start playing automatically when the unit boots up. I have tried a few things, but not refine yet.

Lastly, i want to change the steering wheel "Mode" button to cycle between Music and Nav apps only, but have not figured out a way to it in exposedMTC app yet. The factory configuration for "Mode" button is to cycle through Radio, Music, Video, DVD, Nav, Avin, etc... too many of whcih that I don't want to cycle through.

AutoMate seems like it be a good fit
[Android Head-Units] PatrickHenninger:
I'm a new guy here on XDA, but it seems like Torque (Pro) is an absolute must have.
[Android Head-Units] jordanow:
Wouldn't it be nice to list all the given apps in the first post?
[Android Head-Units] PatrickHenninger:
I think that's up to the OP to go back and edit the post as more replies come in.
[Android Head-Units] ownerpredator:
Here goes my list: (or at least the one I´ve installed)

- Waze: Absolute must to avoid traffic

- Spotify

- Torque
[Android Head-Units] htc-rocks:
What navigation apps are people using? I like Google Maps and Waze but I want an offline option for when data connection is not availabe. I'm thinking of using TomTom Go but is there anything better?

I also plan on using spotify, poweramp and torque.
[Android Head-Units] witor19:
Waze to beat traffic here in LA

Spotify always on
[Android Head-Units] 2safe4you:
For Navigation i like the Navigon App. But under 4.4.4 it is not so good running in My Car Unit. I also search for a Offlinemap Solution. The Lady Talk Not every time.

[Android Head-Units] drharder:
I use Poweramp, Torque, and then Sygic for GPS navigation (Here also seems to work alright)
[Android Head-Units] exitido:
I use always:

Torque with Speedometer

Icoyote in Europe

Google Play music
[Android Head-Units] mishtevan:
GPS

I use Gaia GPS for offline offroad TOPO maps since this is installed in my truck.

Does anyone have a good app solution to manage 10-20GB of music that is plugged into the external USB port on a 1TB portable HD?

I can get a file manager to see the music files / playlists, but I can't get a music program to see the music/playlist files so that I can easily listen to the music. Any advice?
[Android Head-Units] dadd10:
I use Folder Player Pro for my music, I have a folder for each artist with sub folders for albums, lacks media graphics if you like that sort of distraction whilst driving but functionally great.

For navigation I like iGO Primo because I can save locations from Google Earth to Dropbox and my HU syncs with these as custom POIs in iGO Primo using Dropsync, you can also install custom skins on iGO Primo for increased functionality.

Also uses offline maps
[Android Head-Units] nixfu:
I know some people really like PowerAmp, but I found that I like MediaMonkey for music better. I have about 30GB on the SD Card and it works great. Has good widget to put on the screen as well. In MediaMonkey you can go in the settings and tell it exactly what folders and path's to search for music and it will search and index all the files.
[Android Head-Units] Valaran:
poweramp does all that tasks :)

For offline GPS navigation, HERE maps from Nokia works fine ! You can download maps by country or part of country if you want. Then you switch to "offline" navigation and it uses only stored maps. He got traffic info but i prefer Waze when online is up :)

es file explorer to move files is a fine tool too.
[Android Head-Units] flydeep:
I wanted to do the exact same thing on my Joying RK3188 unit, Highlander version. After much trial and error found out that there is a bug in XposedMTC that prevents it from switching to Navi if video is not set right (crashes after 2-3 swaps). So I disabled all options in XposedMTC, so clicking on Mode hard button will start the music app (Poweramp in my case). I used the hard Navi button to switch to Navigation and "Phone Down" button for "Back Screen" option. This combo seems to be working quite well over the last week or so I have been using. Another key thing is that when you change any option in XposedMTC, close this and start XposedInstaller > Framework > Install. This will require a device reboot and the settings seem to reflect in mine only after this is done.

[Android Head-Units] lincoln_dj:
bumping this thread (was going to start a new one), see if there's any more recent apps.

Also, what are the common recommended mods/roms etc?

Have just installed an RK3188-based KLD (KLD6) unit bought from IceBoxAutos - it's one that looks like the Audi RNS-E unit. Happy with it so far, works nice and quick, decent 1024*600 screen, added front camera and DAB all work as expected.

It's on v2.77 rom at the min, going to install 2.83 once I've got my SD cards!

CoPilot for Navigation

CoPilot is the best navigation I have ever used on any platform. Requires no live data connection and has more features that are easy to use. You can try it free and the pro version is $10, i think.

Car launcher pro for my launcher

[Android Head-Units] Eagleman71:
Hi, for the moment my must have ones are:

- Offline Navigation: Sygic (I made Italy-Russia car travel very smoothly with it...)

- DashCam recorder + ODBII reader: CaroO (two in one... best buy)

- App Auto Starter: Auto Start (no root) (very simple, plain, never stops and needs no root)

As launcher i am testing several ones... so far no best buy found yet
[Android Head-Units] wushi-wushi:
I'm using:

1. Automate Car Dashboard as a launcher (beautiful design)

2. Spotify and Soundcloud for music

3. Will try PowerAmp for local files
[Android Head-Units] nixfu:
Maps:

- Waze (online/need net connection)

- Maps.Me (free/maps offline)

- Sygic (paid/maps offline)

Music:

- RocketPlayer MP3 player (has nice big control (play, FF, RW) buttons on the screen when in use)

- Antenna Pod (my podcast downloader/player of choice for the car)

Some misc apps I use more than others:

- aCar - use this to keep track of car fillups/mileage

- wifiprioritizer - this automatically switches between my wifi teathered, home wifi, or a public wifi signal(mcdonalds etc) based on a priority list.

- Daily Roads Voyager - dashcam app running in background saving video from my USB dashcam

- All-in-one Toolbox - use this to disable/tweak automatic startup of system and user apps. This is the single biggest way I have found to increase performance of these units by strictly limiting what starts up automatically.
[Android Head-Units] gustden:
Some that I use that haven't been mentioned, but nice tp have.

- Screen Filter - Allows you to set the brightness to a much lower level than the default sliders. Great for night driving ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor )

- Tablet Talk - Links your phone to your Headunit so you can get text message pop-ups and respond on screen ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apdroid.tabtalk )

- Readit To Me - reads notifications, works great for text displayed by Tablet Talk ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=robj.readit.tomefree )

- App Ops - Allows setting of individual app permissions including at boot ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission )

- Simple System Monitor - Monitors many aspects of android system such as cpu usage, cpu freq, cpu temps, memory, etc. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dp.sysmonitor.app )

- Titanium Backup - backup up and restore applications and data, including system apps ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup )

Ok, a bit of self advertisement I know, but Android Auto should be in the list I think, and with HUR (Headunit Reladed - https://xdaforums.com/general/paid-software/android-4-1-headunit-reloaded-android-t3432348 ) it's possible, much better than TabletTalk.

[Android Head-Units] m00n61:
iGo is the best offline navigation app by far. The default config may seem deceiving but this app is the most customizable of them all. There are lots of functions not activated by default- you will need a custom skin for that. It has:

-fastest, most accurate routing

-most complex TTS - can read road signs, system messages, country info

-very accurate voice recognition

-modular architecture, allows the addition of new UI elements

-fully customizable - colors, element sizes, POI icons. Just google "igo skins" and you'll understand.
