hi guys can some one help me how to install TWRP in My Xperia Z c6603 5.1.1

my phone rooted already

other question does my boot loader unlock now or not ?

in service menu

Rooting Status:

Boatloader Unlocked: Yes :confused:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ess Arr:
Yep your bootloader is unlocked if it says "yes" and if you had unlocked it. And if you want to install twrp in your xperia c6603 you can do this its simple.

1. download the app "recovery manager for xperia" its paid but you can search and download setup from google ;)

2. Now install it give permission for root access.

3. Now select twrp and download it and flash it as fotakernel.

4. Now you have twrp as fotakernel.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xp3r1aZc6603:
thx for reply ess arr btw im using stock firnware

Recovery Manager for Xperia™

Replace the boring CWM with TWRP or PhilzTouch Recovery on your Xperia.

Almost all custom kernels and ROMs have the "extract_elf_ramdisk" method embedded in them which allows flashing a recovery.img to the FOTAKernel partition and using this recovery instead of the recovery that comes inside the kernel.

Since most CM/AOKP/PA ROMs come with CWM in the default kernel, it is really helpful in having TWRP or Philz-Touch Recovery on the FOTAKernel.

Another big advantage is, even if the recovery inside the kernel is broken, The FOTAKernel recovery will continue to work.

***NOTE***

***Only for Xperia users using custom ROMs/kernels.*** <---- this one still confusing if it still will work in my stock finware ?

***Works only on rooted and bootloader unlocked phones***

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spyder5157:
Well. I've been reading as much as possible, and although my requirements are here/there, putting together and nailing down my specific needs have got me quite stuck.

My Current System:

Verizon (On Straight Talk) SCH-I545 , Android: 4.4.2

Build: VRUFNK1

Rooted , SafeStrap Installed (Also, running XPosed Framework, quite a bit of bloat and Verizon apps removed).

I want to upgrade to Stock Lollipop (Rooted). I have researched to my limits and my problem is primarily my loss of understanding of the various Builds and requirements. This is my only phone and I just want to assure to be quite sure before proceeding.

I do understand the answer to this is here, it just seems that it is somewhat fragmented and I can't seem to nail down the specifics I need to make it happen.

It seems that FlashFire and this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-update-to-i545oc1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3096558

(I just realized that the ROM files here for use in Flashfire are now broken URL's), not sure where to find the proper files?

Do the trick? Flash the I545_OC1_Stock_Rooted_ROM_wNK4_BL Rom using FlashFire. (This link is now broken? New file location?) If I read correctly, it will take to the required NK4, from my NK1.....and put me right to Lollipop.....Done.

I've only ever used ODIN, so FlashFire is new to me. Just a few quick questions that I KNOW have really caused problems in the past, and just want to make sure I'll be ok:

1. Will the removal of tons of the Verizon Bloatware be an issue, or does it need to be wiped back to close to stock (Anything removed was on the XDA list of "Ok to remove KitKat files"

2. Should I Remove XPosed for the flash and put it back later if desired.

Am I missing anything? To be honest, it seems quite simple. I've flashed several phones and this almost seems too easy (A compliment).

Just a confirmation would be great. I think I've done the homework, but would really like some feedback before I pull the trigger.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP......THANKS.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Matthew M.:
Here is a link to sign up as a tester of flashfire which once you are approved will allow you to download the application from this link as well.

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/eu.chainfire.flash

I will upload the file to my server and send you the link shortly.

ROM LINK: http://myowntoilet.com/dl/I545_OC1_Stock_Rooted_ROM_wNK4_BL.zip

An answer to your questions:

1. Any system apps you removed should not have an effect because the ROM which you are flashing has the basic Verizon bloatware pre-insatlled. You will have to delete them again after installing a new rom unless it is debloated/deodexed.

2. If I were you I would remove XPosed just to be safe as it may leave something behind which could cause problems. But you shouldn't have an issue if you leave it in before flashing.

Be very careful to follow the directions in FlashFire word for word, if you skip or miss any steps it could result in a soft-brick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spyder5157:
THANKS for the reply. Also, thank you for the ROM link. I read in much of the original flashing comments there were several WI-FI issues. Has that been repaired in this version of the ROM?

I did get FlashFire. There seems to be several versions of that floating around, just hopefully the latest should be fine.

I did have 1 other question. I believe I also read that after the flash, Safestrap will no longer work? Is this true? Should SafeStrap be removed prior to this process? (Although if something goes wrong, I like having that there to hopefully get back?). Is the latest version of SS compatible? Will it just fail to even come up if the flash is successful?

I've flashed many times, over the past years, but am no expert. I guess I'll ask, although I clearly understand the concept of soft-brick....In this particular case, any insight of what 'Could' happen and maybe what I could have prepared to fix? Shouldn't be an issue I would hope.

BOTTOM-LINE QUESTIONS:

1. Can you please verify this ROM def. has the WiFi issues worked out?

2. Status of SafeStrap after Flash?

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE REPLY!

Any other thoughts, etc...greatly appreciated. (I see quite a few posts of people wanting to go BACK to 4.4.2 (where I am now) that gets me thinking also...lol...hmmm?

ALL the best and thanks again....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Matthew M.:
I am unable to verify if the wifi issues are fixed or not, but you could just flash it anyway and then restore from a backup in odin. Safestrap will probably need to be reinstalled as you will flash recoveries when you do the update in flashfire.

The people who post about going back to 4.4.2 are not on NK4 but on OC1 which does not allow reverting to 4.4.2. NK4 could use the nc5flasher to then revert to 4.4.2 or even something like Hyperdrive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spyder5157:
Thank you. I'm pretty sure that I read in one of the original threads that the WiFi issues had been worked out. I'm just wanting to make sure this particular version of the ROM is the corrected one. You mentioned if it is broken, restore from a backup in ODIN, your referring to the original KitKat ROM.

I was a bit confused. I thought that this also took it all the way to OC1, which is why I was questioning SafeStrap? Could you please clarify when you mentioned flashing recoveries when the update is done in FlashFire?

So, this particular update takes it to NK4, with Lollipop....not OC1 ? I was def. a bit confused there.

Really appreciate the info. Just want to make sure I have it all in a row before I pull the trigger. According to all I've read and what you've posted, I think that I wouldn't have much issue. I'm just nervous about the WiFi. Guess, I'll need to track down the proper file/s to flash in ODIN if there is a problem.

If you happen to run across anything about this ROM and the WiFi, would appreciate the info. Just no rev numbers on the file, so bit of guessing I assume.

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE INFO........Little more research and I should be ready to roll....THANKS....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Matthew M.:
This rom will put on 5.0.1 Lollipop but with the nk4 bootloader, not OC1. NK4 has safestrap capabilities. And yes i did mean restore to a stock nk4 rom if you had issues (via odin of course)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spyder5157:
Sorry....Had a last thought. In the original procedure I read, it discusses flashing another file enabling tethering. I believe (?) that was after flashing the OC1 file, which I'm convinced your right about staying on NK4. Any idea about that? When I mentioned problems with WiFi, I think that was part of the issue, which they now worked out. Not sure if it's viable on the NK4 though?

Thanks again for all the help/advice with this. Just REALLY trying to make sure I understand it A-Z before I move.....THANKS.....

(Just went and checked, yep the tether flash is for the OC1, from what else I've read though, your right about the best move being to stay on the KK BL'er.)...
[Sony Cross-Device General] AndroPlus:
Newer firmware for Xperia Z4 Tablet, Z5, Z5 Compact, Z5 Premium have FC problem after you install Xposed framework.

This is caused by error at com.sonymobile.camera.addon.common.marketmode.MarketModeListLoaderInterface.

As this is odex problem, maybe rovo can't fix it.

(he said he can't if error is caused by currupted odex file in issue thread for other Xperia device, I'll make new issue)

So, how to fix manually?

1. Download JoelDroid Lollipop Batch Deodexer

2. Copy your framework and priv-app dir in /system to PC (you can extract from FTF or your device)

3. We don't need to deodex all apps, so delete all dirs in priv-app other than CameraCommon

4. Delete arm dir in priv-app/CameraCommon dir

5. Deodex with JoelDroid Lollipop Batch Deodexer

6. Push deodexed CameraCommon.apk to system

By adb:

adb push CameraCommon.apk /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
dd if=/data/local/tmp/CameraCommon.apk of=/system/priv-app/CameraCommon/CameraCommon.apk
chmod 644 /system/priv-app/CameraCommon/CameraCommon.apk
rm -rf /system/priv-app/CameraCommon/arm
rm -rf /system/priv-app/CameraCommon/arm64

7. That's it, reboot and your camera should work now.

NOTE

When you installed Xposed at the first time, first two-three booting will be bootlooop, but it's needed for preparing (for now).

Just wait for normal boot.

I had similar problem on other apps!

Some of other Sony apps have same problem.

You can fix them by same way as camera.

You have a classes.dex file in your deodexed CameraCommon.apk ?

What is its size ?

I'm on jre8, lbd 2.5, sgp771 firmware 260

Some users report the androplus method works but they don't give their specs

May be there is another system app to be deodexed for the CameraCommon app to work.

I can not answer your question since my Windows7 virtual machine where I tried the fix is out of reach for me atm.

I still get the error message "camera.common stopped working" even though I deactivated the camera app.

Thanks. Before asking I followed the guide, but my phone bootloops, and I think it's because I'm not on the latest FW release (I checked only fot OTA updates).

I'll try again after I update to 32.0.A.6.200, and see if it goes well.

Meanwhile, in case there's someone interested - like Mr_Bartek (that actually asked for the Z5) - I've attached an already deodexed CameraCommon.apk from my Z5C.

Quick Question: I think the app "Album" (dont know the englisch name), anyway, I mean the official app from Sony where you can view your photos, has to be deoxed as well. Because I cant open it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] davidbevi:
I did it. Here's my advices to make Xposed and Sony camera work on Z5C.

That's right, but I want to point out some things from my experience: on 32.0.A.6.152 bootloops keep occurring indefinitely. For me the right combination was updating to 32.0.A.6.200, then installing a different kernel to keep root and TWRP, and then following the instructions in this thread.

Also, if you update your firmware you have to check that you have ADB debug active, ADB shell with root permissions, and busybox correctly installed.

For anyone's convenience here's the files I used with success.

ROM: http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/126-sony-xperia-z5-compact-e5823

Kernel: https://kernel.andro.plus/kitakami_r2.html

I've also attached the deodexed CameraCommon.apk for Z5C, so you can follow AndroPlus' guide from the 6th point.

Ditto, it FCs. Is this issue known? Is it solvable?

Guys help me out please.

1 and 2 steps I understood. I copied priv-app and framework to my computer/

3. We need deodex only common camera, right?

4. dir means directory? So I need delete "arm" folder in the CameraCommon folder?

5. Deodex what and how? СameraCommon.apk? but joeldroid search for for some framework folder.

6 No questions.

Huge Thanks in advance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] killdozer56:
Hi

3. Yes delete all other folders in priv app dir.

4. Yes

5. Under joeldroid browse to the folder you create (ex: romodexed. In this folder you have a framework folder and a priv app folder) Start the process.

the path must not have space.

I looked at your other posts. You have installed Xposed and your problem was with the sony photo album not the sony camera app can you explain ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] alphatact1cs:
=== DEODEXED SONY ALBUM APP ===

The official Sony picture app "Album" has to be deodexed as well. But I have already done this for you :p

You can download the deodexed APK in attachments.

Push deodexed SemcAlbum-albumLive-release.apk to system with adb commands:

adb push SemcAlbum-albumLive-release.apk /data/local/tmp

Don't forget to put the foldes in another folders, that you create and call it system

Notice You should create a folder and name it "system" for example in LDB folder ,

named "system" so you will get folder

/system/framework and in the same "system" folder you should also have

"priv-app" /system/priv-app and then let JoedDroidBatchDeodexer browse to the created "system"-folder and let the application to it's work (deodexing with JoelDroidBatchDeodexer)

This is from sony TradeMark sony-Z5 version 32.0.A.6.152 deodexed, avoids FC (ForceClose) after xposed-framework zipped/flashed to the android-OS (OperateSystem) version 5.1.1

For the lazy one who don't want to use JoelDroidBatchDeodexer, without connecting phone to computer and using ADB-commands. :cyclops:

Use app "Root explorer" or any other file-manager who have granted root-permission

Copy the files-.apk to their folder using your filemanager app ( /system/priv-app/SemcAlbum-albumLive-release/SemcAlbum-albumLive-release.apk)

and /system/priv-app/CameraCommon/CameraCommon.apk

You must have system-partition with read/write/delete access.

Dont forget do change file privilege chmod with the Root explorer touch-interface to permission-mode "644"

If you wonder more and have questions, please ask further.

Then remove the "arm 64" in their folders too (CameraCommon folder, and SemcAlbum-albumLive-release-folder

[Sony Cross-Device General] datorprofessor:
have patient, it is possible

Dont :crying: my friend!

Did you fix the file permission too? File-permission is the gang-number in which unit they include...For example root-owner is the boss. And if file only belongs to the boss then only the boss can execute it... root = boss.

Below boss you have "system" and "user" and "group"

So you have to change file-permission with file-manager and give it the numbers 644... without this method (root-filemanager) you can go and learn more about file-permission in linux. r-read, w-write/delete, x-execute rwx rw- r-x example

[IMG="linux 644 file permission"]http://www.cellbiol.com/bioinformatics_web_development/lib/exe/fetch.php/chapter_2_-_the_linux_operating_system/understanding_linux_files_permissions_644.png[/IMG]

https://www.google.se/search?q=file...IBygB#tbm=isch&q=file+permission+in+linux+755

and did you delete those arm64 arm folders as mentioned?? you have another model but I think it still will have the same solution, We are in the cross-Device thread ;)

Are you a beginner or do you have some skills? if you have skills then follow the first post and install as they describe.... takes time but then it will fix it.

Simply you have to deodex the app so to speak in android-language-terms.
[Sony Cross-Device General] PnPZik:
I've try many ways to do this. Using your deodexed file or the file I deodexed myself, push the file to system by adb or manually replace it with root explorer, change file's permission to 644, delete those arm arm64 folders ... I've done all of those but the app is still "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped." :crying::crying::crying:
