It's working on Xperia T just fine I think. I flashed few zip fixes and gapps and that went fine. I haven't tried to flash a ROM so I don't know if it's ok, or it will show up some error like that error 7 ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
A new more official release specific to the devices will be coming soon but I need to confirm they work for the moment.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Klaus N.:
I've tried to install this for Xperia T (mint), running with the final cm12.1 build of WhiteNEO, but unfortunately neither flashing the twrp.img via fastboot flash recovery, nor flashing the zip via twrp succeeded.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
All three devices are now considered working fine with TWRP 3.0.2

so I invite you to test it all on your own device.

Bootimage is fully bootable and usable.

FOTA fully working too, if your current ROM doesn't support it,

know CM13 new releases will soon.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
New releases for all 3 devices, stable & considered fully ready.

TWRP (and MultiROM TWRP) upgraded, like CyanogenRecovery, for proper performance and heat control.

Hi

Can someone explain what the cleaner does what is its purpose and how to use safely in Twrp?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Just wipes out the FOTA partition if you want to delete TWRP.

Using it to flash TWRP is totally useless.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Doncra:
Hi

What I am really asking is it safe to use this to wipe Twrp from Twrp and then immediately after flash Twrp again from the open Twrp. Total clean recovery install. For some reason Twrp is running very slow last version. Don't know why. Previous versions were faster........
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Flashing the cleaner before is not going to change anything,

the new TWRP flash will erase the FOTA partition too anyways.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Doncra:
I'm will try that.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Official TWRP support added to the 3 devices.

If you are on my latest FOTA TWRP release, you don't need to change anything.

TWRP problems

Hello Adrian DC

First of all , i want to thank you for your big work about TWRP and cm13, you make my xperia v alive. But I have very big issues. It's very difficult to install a working rom on sony devices. In samsung, nexus, htc it's very easy. I'm on CM 12.0 official with cyanogen recovery, then i installed TWRP by fastboot flash boot twrp.img. The TWRP stuck at TWRP logo. Then I extracted cm 13 boot img and I flash it again. Now I have 2 recoveries cm and TWRP and I can't enter any of them. What should i do? I know that sony's recovery is related to kernel, but i stuck here. Please your help is really appreciated. Thanks

EDIT: I follow all your instructions and i don't know how it works. Thank you so much

sometimes it just vibrate and when trying to enter recovery by holding volume + with power it vibrates with green light turn on and then off with nothing in the device

any suggestions??
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
First thing, this general assumption is appearing on the forums lately

and it's completely wrong, Sony devices (up to new ones maybe)

do not have a special key combo to boot from powered-off to recovery.

No weird keys with Volume & Power & multiple clicks or magic tricks.

All boot sequences are explained on the device's CM Wiki :

https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Tsubasa_Info

Then if you flashed a bad image, wrong device or whatever and your device does not boot,

you simply go back to fastboot mode with the Blue LED, flash a new boot img, and done.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rami199851985:
well first thank you adrian

after flashing boot image in fast mood my device starts up but it stucks after Sony logo with black screen

what should I do?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rami199851985:
Well, after all I could flash a stock rom and recover my device.

I do not know what was the wrong with me maybe I missed something or because I have another recovery and tried to flash the twrp over it.

anyway I am learning good things here.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Younes_vd:

I flashed the rom using the recommended recovery. But it ended with error 7 and it says that the device need to be converted to the unified userdata partition.

I'd suggest to install cm13 first (follow the instructions of the corresponding cm13 thread, e.g. migration and clean install). When you've finished that, it should be possible to install TWRP.

I've installed stock ROM on my Xperia TX LT29i and then rooted with King Root then I installed TWRP using fastboot but after that it is looping into TWRP. Now it's not loading the system.

Please guide me to fix this issue.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Hi.

Please edit your post and delete the giant quote of the first post ;).

You are looping into TWRP because you installed TWRP into the boot partition,

hence it boots only on TWRP and can't use the ROM's Android bootimage.

As detailed in the first post, you have 2 ways to install TWRP into the FOTA partition,

making it "permanent" and bootable on power-up, while keeping Android in the boot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] phool4fool:
Thanks for your kind reply/help. Actually I'd fixed that and now I'm back on Stock ROM but I really want Custom ROM v7.1 but I'm having "phone sleep/power off" issue.

Can you please guide me on that
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
You might want to read that : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70640214&postcount=8

Other than that, there's no issue that I know of that would power off your device, the device is fully usable for now.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] phool4fool:
Thanks for your reply. Battery don't drop even after I start my phone again, battery still the same e.g if my phone got off when battery was 90%, after starting again, it's still 90% or 89% and don't drop very fast

I know that kind of battery issue which I'd faced with my Samsung S4 but now battery is OK

Anything else that is causing this issue?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] derHungrige:
Hi,

so i read all this but I still want to ask, if the way i want to do this is right, because i'm new to all this and i don't want to do something wrong.

I have a Sony Xperia V lt25i, on which i unlocked the bootloader and i rooted it, but nothing more.

When i got it right i now have to flash this file "twrp-3.0.3-20170224-boot-tsubasa" by typing "fastboot flash boot twrp-3.0.3-20170224-boot-tsubasa.img" and i have to flash it into boot because recovery isnt existing on sony smartphones.

Then i have to boot into recovery and flash the "twrp-3.0.3-20170224-fota-tsubasa". Does it flash this by his own into the fota folder?

And then when i flash a rom it installs it by his own into the boot folder?

Another question: On the twrp-website a "extract_elf_ramdisk-master" is mensiont, what does this file do an do i need it?

Sorry for those stupid questions but i dont want to do something wrong.

Hope somebody of you can help me. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Congrats because for a beginner, you got it all right from the first try.

Everything you said is ok.

About the extract, you're not concerned with that, it's our Dev side work that makes the necessary extraction of the fota partition to get the recovery. You'll find details for the keys on boot in my Nougat threads and the LineageOS wiki for this device.

If i remember correctly i installed TWRP using the app. i was previously in Cyanogenmod and had CM recovery, but in Cyanogenmod i installed the twrp app and then from there installed TWRP 3.0.2.

then i flashed RR, and got tired of that and flashed LOS.

Right now i can boot and get LOS recovery if i press volume down and TWRP if i press volume up.

how can i find out what partition TWRP is on right now and reflash the new version to the same place?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
TWRP is (and always has been and only can be) in the FOTAKernel partition on all non-recent Sony devices.

You can flash the new recovery with the dd command / my FOTA zips / the application / TWRP image flash :D .

Lineage (and not "LOS") Recovery is part of the boot partition, and as you said bootable with V-.

Unrelated to the partition and does not interact with it and gets updated with the ROM itself.

Big thanks to [MENTION=2233641]AdrianDC[/MENTION] !!

i noticed something ever since on this phone, if i uninstalled app it reboot if i tried to used root apps like apps2sd or titanium backup before the task will complete the phone will reboot then task will failed.

then also i cannot boot to fastboot mode but if i used volume- then connect to laptop flashtool got my phone in flash mode, am using window 10 pro 64bit but am still unable to get MTP driver install, i tried to install it but no luck, am even thinking going back to window 7 but because of this MTP driver issue.

please if there is a way to help. thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] meikelrix:
If I read, that you can't install the driver: did you try to run the installer with admin rights?

So I can't even boot to fastboot at all, but I later checked again where I saw the bootloader is unlock allowed NO.

I have a problem running TWRP 3.2.1.0 on Xperia T (unlocked bootloader, lineage 14.1 11-04-18).

TWRP 3.1.1.0 running great from fota partition, but after I update to 3.2.1.0 (install img into recovery from twrp), booting into recovery boots default android recovery instead of twrp recovery.

If I flash it on boot partition, works fine, but on fota partition it just loads android recovery instead.

Is that issue known, is there any solution for it? For now, I'll stick on 3.1.1.0 - works flawlessly.

I had my screen replaced

After I had my screen replaced it did this. I was racking my brains as to why...

I read somewhere it could be recalibrated but you had to do it in Android 4.4 kitkat (not 4.4.4)

For some reason you couldn't do it in lollipop. I thought, what the hell. Backed up all important files. Flashed kitkat found how to recalibrate and it worked then on like a charm.

Phantomrocks on the sony forum says...

"You have to sacrifice resetting the phone using the Sony PC software 1st. Avoid data backup from old accounts.

Then, after the reboot is done and Android is reinstalled with update x.x.x.534 goto the dialer & type *#*#7378423#*#* then press dial

In the menu that will come go to calibration and then choose proximity sensor. (If you run the test it might give error = -1) Then, set settings to default and it may ask to reboot the device.

After reboot type *#*#7378423#*#* then press dial. In the menu that will come go to calibration and then choose proximity sensor do the test and it will show success. VIOLAAAaaaa!!!!"
