Question

Is it possible root Software Concept 6.0 for Xperia Z3 with this recovery?

Thank you
[Nextbit Robin] jabza:
Nexbit is very developer-friendly. They reached out to developers a while ago to get TWRP working as well as CM. Right now, it's mostly just a matter of waiting until developers get their Robins before ROMs get posted.

This is for the Nextbit Robin not the Xperia Z3

[Nextbit Robin] GuestK0087:
Thread cleaned of off topic discussion.

Stay on topic please.
[Nextbit Robin] PhlexPlexico:
So with 3.0.1-0 being released, does this fix the decryption issue on phone? Also I can just fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and overwrite the old one, yes?

Edit: Doesn't seem like it, tried entering my password and still nada!

Also, 3.0.2-0 has been released as well!
[Nextbit Robin] Nextbit_Khang:
Thank you for the update [MENTION=4222965]deadman96385[/MENTION]! :)
[Nextbit Robin] Knight77:
Every time I backup or restore I got this message

failed to unmount /system device or resource busy

Any idea? Suggestions?
[Nextbit Robin] ToHellWithGA:
My screen unlock PIN - the one I have to enter after rebooting or flunking the fingerprint test - doesn't work to decrypt the data partition. I don't recall ever being prompted for a password at first boot.

Is the encryption secured with some default password? If we're all on one password that seems less secure than it could be.
[Nextbit Robin] substanceneil:
(6 months later) has anyone gotten twrp to work with encryption? I am on cm13 and twrp cannot mount despite my entering the password. I've tried pin, pattern and password. Thanks.
[Nextbit Robin] FlyingTaco:
F2FS missing?

Is it just me or is f2fs missing from twrp on this device?
[Nextbit Robin] DJ_SpaRky:
For everyone's information, TWRP (Official) has been updated to 3.0.3-0: https://dl.twrp.me/ether/twrp-3.0.3-0-ether.img.html
[Nextbit Robin] crian:
This version has an issue with decryption. Just stay with the older one or wait for the next release.
[Nextbit Robin] DJ_SpaRky:
3.1.0-0 has been released: https://dl.twrp.me/ether/twrp-3.1.0-0-ether.img.html
[Nextbit Robin] enterflux:
Has the recovery issue been resolved in 3.1? I've updated to it recently, but I still can't unlock my data.
[Nextbit Robin] crian:
You have to deactivate encryption.
[Nextbit Robin] LBN1:
FYI, 3.1.1-0 is the latest and it flashes fine from fastboot.
[Nextbit Robin] carguy303:
If I go back to 3.0.2 will decryption work in TWRP or does that version not support decryption for Robin as well?
[Nextbit Robin] the_rooter:
Does anyone else having a clock issue on twrp 3.1.1.0? Mine is literally showing the time like 9 hours behind and I can't seem to figure out the issue
[Nextbit Robin] RaS_KoR:
I don't know why, but my TWRP has never show the right time. At each boot into recovery the time/date is 1970-01-01 :'( I've gotten used to set time/date via command line after recovery boot.
[Nextbit Robin] NaterTots:
So none of the TWRP's for the Robin allow you to access your data in recovery if you've encrypted your phone? I've tried 3 of them so far.
[Nextbit Robin] DJ_SpaRky:
Correct. No custom recovery will, you have to deencrypt it for that to work (MTP for TWRP, etc)
[Nextbit Robin] chainsmkgbstrd:
any news how to do it ? i cant even install custom rom

twrp always ask for the decrypt passqord that ive never set
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
Just press back?

If you already have the backup, just try to do a clean wipe and flash custom ROM.
[Nextbit Robin] pay_omar:
i think this will help you

https://insider.razerzone.com/index...der-flash-custom-recovery-decrypt-root.23775/
[Nextbit Robin] DJ_SpaRky:
You have to 'Wipe Data', then go for the Flash (ROM, GApps, Xposed, etc), this removes the encryption.
[Nextbit Robin] eriklion:
I really wish TWRP supported encryption. Everyone says it's supported. x.x But it's not, on every device I've tried.
[Nextbit Robin] batp:
I had encryption/decryption working on Nexus4 and Herolte. No decryption on Robin, but encryption works.

You can use Flashfire and Selinux Permission Changer to flash roms even after being encrypted.

MM bring the ability to devices which support it to share SD card with system to install apps on SD card. But Sony disabled this on MM. Here is to Enable this functionality ;)

(Be aware that your shared partition will be hidden on other devices)

You will need adb installed on your computer

If you doesn't have it :

http://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378

Then connect your phone with adb debugging enabled.

Type "adb shell"

Once you're connected to your device : "sm list-disks"

This will return the ID of your sd card.

Now, if you want the whole sd card to be shared type "sm partition disk:ID private"

If you want your sd to be partitionned type "sm partition disk:ID mixed:%"

(replace ID with your own card ID and % with the STANDARD stockage percent you want on your sd card)

You're done !

(Sizes of partitions are not reported as they should but it seems to work)

Is it possible to take and save screenshot after enabling adoptable storage and moved app with this way?

I couldn't access to internal storage in some apps when I enabled adoptable storage with other way (xposed)...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] roland101:
I have successfully done this and everything seems to work fine however when I migrate my data to the SD card so this becomes the default location for new apps and data, I get a memory error in the stock camera app. Is anyone else getting this issue? I haven't yet figured a way around it. This is the one and only issue but it would be a deal breaker
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Elfeno:
[MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION] Since this functionality is part of Android and the 2 memory become one It should not have this issue but will try ;) [MENTION=5916271]roland101[/MENTION] This issue happened to me also after upgrading to MM. Did a clean install wiping data resolved this issue :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] roland101:
Hi [MENTION=5425181]Elfeno[/MENTION]. I tried a factory reset from the Backup and Restore menu but I still have the issue. How exactly did you do it? Did you already have the SD card private partitioned and data migrated when you did the factory reset? I did, but then my phone didn't recognize the SD card anyway so I had to re-apply the private partition via adoptable storage. I then check the camera, no error. I then migrated all data from internal to SD card from the storage section but after that and a reboot I still get the memory error in the camera app. What were your steps exactly? Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] fqj1994:
Hello [MENTION=5916271]roland101[/MENTION],

I met the same issue like you. But if your SD card is large enough (like 128GB), you can format it in mixed 25 (reserve 32GB standard storage, other some other value), and then you can use camera on that partition. But the new problem will be: Google Photos(if you use that for backup) cannot delete device copy on that partition (I dont't know why Google Photos didn't request external SD card permission).
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Elfeno:
[MENTION=5916271]roland101[/MENTION] [MENTION=7348758]fqj1994[/MENTION] Yes the partition created for apps cannot be use to store files. Mixed will create 1 partition for apps and 1 for files :)

About the Google Photos app I guess it store photos in app data and if we cannot write that partition it doesn't allow us to delete these files but should work using Google photo app since it's is own files. If Gphoto was baked with your rom maybe it have arlready the permision needed. You can also check in per apps permissions in settings ;) Check if it delete the cloud backup when you delete local photo. :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] fqj1994:
[MENTION=5425181]Elfeno[/MENTION]

Another problem is even get camera to work with a mixed partition. all apps externally calling camera to take photos are dead (like hangout/ telegram)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] fqj1994:
Actually it can be used to store files, just go to the adoptive sd card, and click "migrate data", then the adoptive sd card will be mounted to /sdcard, and then Camera will have problems.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] XDAdeveloperHTC:
Not sure it worked

Just tried this on a xperia z5 compact and the commands worked the sm partition returned in a few second, little too quick.

When I go into storage i just see a nagative number for both the internal and sd card.

a df from the adb shell shows the below

is this right 22GB for /storage/emulated ? I would have though it should have been approx 160GB (32+128 - used space)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] fqj1994:
Actually it's right.

Adoptive storage does not merge two partitions. Or removing sd card will completely disable all installed application of your phone rather than a partial. It just provide ability to Store applications and application data to external storage without applications-aware. And the in the storage settings. You can use migrate data to point which storage to be used for data stored on /sdcard.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kasimodem:
Hello,

It work perfectly, but because the function is not officially supported by Sony, displayed size informations are quite strange ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] luvlife:
I am now a little confused. I have a 64GB SD card and originally plan to use the entire SD card for Adoptable Storage.

Based on what's said above, does it make a difference if I choose to

1) partition the SD card to 32GB data+ 32GB for Adoptable Storage, or

2) use the entire SD card for Adoptable Storage?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Elfeno:
Seems that it doesnt make any difference !
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] miguelel3men2:
How I can return my phone to normal can not recognize other memories sd
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] un1ty:
For me it worked, no problem with stock camera.

Spotify did bug out a little (offline songs were stored to SD card), but a reinstall fixed it. Ii had nothing else set to SD card to begin with anyway.

Thanks for the tip! although I did have to use the whole SD card as private, using it partially would cause popups of new SD-card inserted constantly >> starting to use it would wipe the entire SD.

Using the following firmware:

KPN Mobile NL (32.1.A.1.185 / R3C)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Cheitanya:
It didn't work =/

Hi I did it all corecly, set the 64gb sd card full private... and started to install many apps... what happend is after it reached the full 16 gb(real internal storage) it would not let me instaling anything else it would just say memory full any one had this?

PS. didn't had any problem with the camera our any other app.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] tupelo20:
Also applicable on Z3?

Is this workaround also applicable on the z3 with marshmallow
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] deadfazel:
Guys is it Z5c only or applicable on Z3 too?

please help.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] cook:
Tested on Z3 tablet compact and MM 23.4.A.0.575

Works quite well. Camera do not recognize internal memory anymore so format SD Card "Mixed" is mandatory to use Camera (with regular external SD partition)

Move data to adoptable SD move some data that cannot be moved on regular external SD. on a clean phone (cleaned by sd maid) with everything possible moved to regular external SD, I saved 3GB more. nice.

Move app give no gain. only app can be moved on regular external SD can be moved on adoptable SD. nothing more. I kept it on regular external SD to avoid the hassle to move them one by one. move directly app from external SD to adoptable SD crash and reboot tablet. Need to process in 2 steps via normal Internal memory.

Some memory count in setting / storage show crazy negative number. Sony clearly do not update their "written with the foot" code. Just a cosmetic issue.

The only application degraded is Sony Camera. What a shame for Sony.

Once you shared the SD card would removing it pose any system error or the phone will revert to its stock stated partition?

i'm running Rooted Stock ROM Marshmallow .570 on my Xperia Z2 D6503

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] crox72:
Z3 Compact now has 2 SD Cards?

So, I applied this to my Z2 Compact using a new Samsung Pro Plus 128gb card and now I have 2 x 64Gb SD Cards listed, not quite what I was expecting...

When I look at apps say Clash Of Clans, it still says it's in internal, but I can change it, that gives me 3 options,

1) Internal

2) SD Card (I've renamed it adaptive)

3) SD Card

If I select 2, it moves the entire app to SD Cards, where as before it'd only move part of the app, so I see that as an improvement. However that's not what I was expecting to see and some apps still can't be moved (No change option)

p.s. when I did sm list-disks I saw disk:179,64 is that the correct format for the id?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] crox72:
Also it seems widgets on the "adaptive storage" can't be used...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] freaky2xd:
i am trying this right now on my z2... at the moment i have very confusing gb values...

first i tried to use 50% of my 64 gb sd card as internal storage, but i get an error wich says that the number 50 isnt allowed to use.... then i tried using the whole 64gb as adoptable. it seemed to work but i cannot put more than before on my internal storage.... i formatted the sd card before the process... now i can restore 50gb of data lol and no result

Works with Xperia XA, just a display bug on total partition size. Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] whodisname:
I have a samsung on5 with 6.0.1. I have tried to do the adb commands and it just doesnt work. i type the commands and i dont get an error or anything, it simply doesnt work. i have checked and am certain it hasnt worked at all. is there some reason it wont work on this device? this is exactly the device it NEEDS to work on. i havs a sandisk 32 gig class 10 ultra plus. no reason this shouldnt work. im bummed, any suggestiins?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rrvuhpg:
Go buy a Xperia or ask on your device forum ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] nicoX:
On Xperia XA, didn't work, ended with an error, but erased the SD card content. The phone hang as well after the procedure, and destroyed the screen, now I have a yellow mark burned in on top of the screen, very strange, don't know how this could happen, but it did while the phone was freezed and I tried to power it off, without success for five minutes.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rrvuhpg:
I'm not okay with you, it works well on XA!! Reported working on XA Ultra too!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] nicoX:
I have the XA Dual Sim.

Could be SD card, could be firmware, model, could be anything, could be God giving me a ****ty day. Have a nice day.

And yea it doesn't work, tried it three times.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rrvuhpg:
It could be because you used "mixed" command, one my device I got same problem, make full Adoptable and it should be better :)

For the damages it probably because you have a defective device, Adoptable Storage can't destroy your phone. I think you are the first one.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] nicoX:
After the failed procedure the phone freezed for five minutes, couldn't be turned off or rebooted, once it did, there was a burn on the screen.

I think I tried both commands, well I will try it again once they send me a new phone, I'll use the USB on the motherboard as well.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Virtual anomaly:
After you do adb commands is it possible to install system updates?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] nicoX:
Now I think I have adaptable storage, even though it looks weird with the size.

But three games that I just downloaded and they worked, doesn't work. One is just shutting down with an error before it starts. And the other two are giving me "Failure to initialize!" Your hardware does not support this application, sorry!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rrvuhpg:
You can't move all apps, same problem on almost all phones. Use integrated app2sd to move your apps to get better results. Tried with big games like Real Racing 3 and no problem, with Firefox the app disappear after phone reboot :eek:

[MENTION=6921742]Virtual anomaly[/MENTION], yes you can, no problem reported.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ozelarf:
Me too

same problem in here, fella. any news on this yet? I guess my sd is corrupted, since other sd cards are correctly shown.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] nicoX:
With adaptable storage I experience my XA to run much faster and smoother, might be of my fast SD card, apps open very fast, specially games that needed some time to load.

Is it because the app data is now saved on the SD card, and not just the app itself? Because the internal card is encrypted by stock and encryption makes things go slower.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Virtual anomaly:
How? System updates check if there's any change in the system partition and if there is they don't work.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rrvuhpg:
If you are not rooted you can only move user apps, system partition is not modified and no problem.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Virtual anomaly:
No,im talking about adb commands.

Also what's integrated app2sd? You mean in the app section,apps that allows you to move them to sd?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rrvuhpg:
Do like this: go to Settings, Storage and Memory, Advanced, Storage, Internal Storage and Migrate Data. You should have same screen as my screenshot. I hope it can help you.

Edit: Sorry for the mistake but it will move app to internal memory, do it will not help you... :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rrvuhpg:
Edit2: The good way is: Settings, Storage and Memory, Advanced, Storage, SD Card and Migrate data.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Virtual anomaly:
In settings there's no storage and memory section,they're both separate for me. Plus in neither of them do I have advanced settings.

Z5c xpower4 rom.

I tried easy adoptable storage, as the method above showed some java error

I don't remember if with two partitions I could get stock camera to work.. I think it did not accept any

I wish anyone could modify the Sony camera to use adoptable storage, or... Maybe someone could"port" the concept Rom of Sony z3c to a z5c....

On my z3c with concept Rom, there was official adoptable storage, and the camera did work... Too bad that phone broke...

Or maybe someone with experience could lookinto that software and see what changes could be made to z5c MM.

Maybe only port camera concept Rom z3c to z5c...

Oh, and i could not use foldermount app when with 2 partitions...

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rrvuhpg:
Yes it's working on XA, I have a F3112 (dual sim), only total memory is not showed correctly and you will have a corrupted SD if you disable AS after. Probably because of a firmware problem.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] nicoX:
Will AS be lost if I factory reset?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] KevinPedrick:
I've an Xperia Z3 Compact tablet. Now Netflix allow downloads but only to internal storage I gave this a try with a 128GB EVO Plus SD card. All seemed to go well but I do have the settings reporting my total used storage as being -92182675456.00B of 16.00GB. Camera doesn't work but I don't care, may look for a third party camera app. EDIT: Went for Open Camera, that seems to work.

When I downloaded from Netflix, sure enough the app settings reports that the data has gone to the SD card. Though strangely, Netflix sometimes reports that I have insufficient storage. I think this may be when I set a stack of downloads that would exceed my spare true internal storage.

Is this something that may be fixed in the future? Would rooting my tablet potential offer a better solution?
