[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL][Z2/Z3/Z3C] TWRP 3.0.2-0 for XZDualRecovery (LP) & RecRoot (MM)

Updated TWRP 3.0.2-0 for XZDualRecovery (LP) and RecRoot (MM)

First of all - This is the work of master [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION] who build this from Omnirom tree and made several very usefull changes!

Visit his original post for more details and give him a thanks as well!

All what I did is modifing partition layout to backup TA and LTALabel partitions also.

Furthermore I did some tests for Z3C on LP and made this installer.

EDIT: For sure RecRoot has already TWRP (also 3.0.2-0 Recovery from shoey63) but this is a slightly different version (with TA Backup). Actually I only made this that users with MM do not run into problems...

Whats needed

Z2/Z3/Z3C LP with XZDualRecovery installed

or

Z2/Z3/Z3C MM with RecRoot installed

Installation

Flash ZIP via recovery - What a surprise... ;)

Thanks to

[MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION]

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

[MENTION=2822871]Wolfbreak[/MENTION]

and for sure thanks goes to TeamWin for developing TWRP

Info

20160507 - Removed Z3C_TWRP_3.0.2-0_for_XZDR.zip due to installer problem with older XZDR installations. Use V02 now.

20160513 - V03 - Added support for MM with RecRoot (http://xdaforums.com/z3/general/wip-sony-android-6-0-mm-t3337357)

20160526 - V04 - Now with universal installer for Z2, Z3 and Z3C - It installes automatically the correct recovery for your device!

20160621 - V05 - Added "z2", "z3" and "z3c" to assert check - Some recovery are using this for "ro.product.device"

SLiM usesd "old" XZDR installation folder to system/bin - That was the reason.

Yes. I installed it on Android 6.0.1 with a locked bootlader and works perfekt.

I can only boot into recovery, when I press the volume down button when I boot and the green led blink.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
This is a bit strange because MM has its recovery in folder /system/etc/mm_twrp_recovery/ - If RecRoot is used

And this is actually not part of my script....

But for sure you can copy recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma manually to this folder /system/etc/mm_twrp_recovery/ for MM (if RecRoot is used)

But it would not be to much hassle to integrade recovery prosition for MM to installer script also.

[MENTION=4962787]fluffi444[/MENTION] hey, is it possible that the infamous wifi drops on Z3c MM are somehow connected to RecRoot?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
Actually I wonder why you ask here. This is only about a bit updated TWRP Recovery for already installed TWRPs setups.

To be honest (and even if I do not know it in particular): I don't think so...:o

But I'm still on LP and will stay there for longer time - So actually I'm not in the position so say anything regarding this...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Moglie:
This works with .291 firmware?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
Actually this depends not on the firmware but on the way the Recovery was installed originally.

It's compatible if you have already your recovery in here: /system/etc/mm_twrp_recovery/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma

Like it is for RecRoot and this quite new way: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/recovery-root-mm-575-lb-t3418714

It's not compatible if you use FOTA Recovery.

I want to flash REC with PC. How can I replace this file to RecRootV4_combined for sony MM?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
For Z3C for instance (otherwise use corresponding file from corresponding folder)

Just copy file recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma which is in folder \tmp\Z3C form file Z2_Z3_Z3C_TWRP_3.0.2-0_for_XZDR_RECROOT_V05.zip

into folder \RXSW\Recovery from file RecRootV4_combined.zip

Twrp 3.0.2 zip flashable file for Xperia z5 premium

Hi

Can i find

Twrp 3.0.2 zip flashable file for Xperia z5 premium??

Please help me?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
No Sorry... No Z5 support at all....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] CAL7:
I apologize in advance if my question seems at all critical (I have great respect for all devs that contribute their intellectual property to us): But, what does this do for me?

I have a Z3C that had [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]'s dual recovery that he supported before Marshmallow. Now I'm running Wajk's SliMM v3.7 with recroot and TWRP 3.0.2. AFAIK, the only thing I'm missing is the ability to boot into recovery via software (i.e. I now must use the Vol-dn key to get to TWRP) and not having two recoveries to choose from.

This project looks really useful, but from my own ignorance, I don't see what it gives me. Please elaborate. Thank you!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
Just read OP completely. I wrote what I changed... For me most important is to save TA partition also.... If you miss nothing on your current Twrp stay with it... No need to use this....

AFAIK Wajk uses also the twrp of shoey (as I do) and this has also many changes which stock twrp not has...

Note that no every twrp is the same... Stock twrp let you only backup the four main partitions for instance...

And note that this only overwrites the existing twrp... This is not an additional twrp....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] op3n:
how update the zip from 3.0.2.0 to 3.0.x.x ?? to me only v3 of z3c zip is working; if i flash any image via terminal or via twrp recovery isnt work
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
In the meantime there are plenty ways to have recovery. Not only old XZDR or RecRoot. Even if most newer TWRPs are compareable to RecRoots way. Therefore this was not yet updated to new 3.0.3.0... And I'm using only FOTA Recovery right now (UB needed).

But because of highly adjusted way to install TWRP this is not compatible to tobias waldvogel's rootkernel way of ramdisk interated TWRP:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605

But it is compatible to Russel5's Recovery & Root for MM .575 & .291 LB which is installed to "/system/etc/mm_twrp_recovery/"

https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/recovery-root-mm-575-lb-t3418714

So first of all: Which way of TWRP Recovery do you use?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] op3n:
i dont know to tell u, but i flashed on mm .291 this: Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined , and after that i could enter in the old twrp and flash XZDR
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE? This is actually not for MM (291) anymore!

Use this for Root and TWRP (on SYSTEM partition) for Locked Bootloader (LB).

https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/recovery-root-mm-575-lb-t3418714

Or use this if you have Unlocked Bootloader (UB)

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3557606

You can take the IMG out of the zip and flash it via fastboot.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] op3n:
flafii, i have UB, so i flashed zip for UB. After, i tryed via fastboot to flash the .img from .zip. Also i tryed what u say here ,but still have old twrp. I want to check version of bootloader but i have cm12,so za service menu doesnt work. what can i do?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
CM12? Good to know that now! I thought you are on latest stock MM 291!

OK than its understandable that you are still using old LP Z3C-lockeddualrecovery.

Don't know if FOTA Recovery is compatible to CM12 - I never took care of CM.

If you stay with CM12 - stay with Z3C-lockeddualrecovery.

But actually my file should work then... Even the V05.

I would try this.

Install Z3C-lockeddualrecovery.

After that ckeck if TWRP (old) is working.

After that check if you see the following file: /system/.XZDualRecovery/xbin/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma

Both yes? Then even V5 must work.

Skips the above mention - Just try the following:

If not, assert check fails I guess. Maybe CM has not common device names in build.prop...

Load V5 and V3 but copy file

Z2_Z3_Z3C_TWRP_3.0.2-0_for_XZDR_RECROOT_V05\tmp\Z3C\recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma

to

Z3C_TWRP_3.0.2-0_for_XZDR_V03\tmp\recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma

and flash "new" V03 with the file of V05...

But you are the first who's asking this. Over 2000 downloads...

Hi all. I've just fitted the Brodit proclip to my car and I thought I'd share my findings.

1. The holder will fit the Nexus 6P complete with DBRAND skin. It will not however, support a case.

2. The built in charger is USB C however it only outputs at 2, not 3 amps. The phone simply shows as "charging" rather than " charging rapidly".

3. Fitting is straight forward as no tools are needed to get the mount to stay in place. The kit i went for is a hard wired kit which did mean removal of parts of the dashboard was necessary in order to tap in to a live and a ground. Thankfully the wiring is clearly labeled.

4. The mount is a tilt/swivel mount so it didn't take long to find a good position.

Devss I will porting one sprout 4 ROM for my device Mt6582 and t got bootloop plzz. Some one give correct method to port it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my_former_self:
I have two of the units mentioned in the thread title. One simply is stuck at the Alcatel logo after a reboot. I can get into the stock recovery, have done a factory reset (plus cache), but still just stuck at the logo. I've also popped it open and unplugged the battery (it's the attached kind), but still back at a logo after everything was back together.

I mentioned that I had two because the other one is working fine and available to use for a firmware dump. The issue I'm running into is that a cat /proc/mtd command returns no partitions (just blank) and there is no emmc on this unit. From what I've read, bad Chinese firmwares sometimes do not report out partition tables from mtd. So, all the guides I've found for using MTK Rom Studio, MTK Droid Tools, and SP Flash Tool don't work for me (at the moment) because I cannot produce a firmware.info or scatter file, due to mtd not populating the required info. Also, from what I gather, there is no firmware file available for this. I've tried using the Mobile Upgrade program from Alcatel, but it reports that the ROM is the most up-to-date and then quits. Yay.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm not desperate or anything; just hoping to get this one back working is all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titanshadow:
I'm not sure how to fix your device without knowing more about it. Is it possible you could provide the firmware dump of the one that is working? I was interested in using such to get a working TWRP recovery going for this model. With a working recovery, might be able to do more for your bricked unit.

I can provide some of the images - a noted exception is for the System partition, as I have already mucked with that one while doing my experimentation with my own.

If you already have the working one rooted, I would suggest just using dd and looking under /dev/devices/by-name (I think that is what it is called) which should provide you access to the partitions you need and what they are called.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my_former_self:
Thanks for the reply. Let me see what I can do. This model is very odd, I have to admit. The fact that it does not use emmc, but instead mtd, yet a cat /proc/mtd produces nothing is baffling to me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
What you're trying to do is for older MTK phones....as in like everything not just the cat /proc/mtd.

What you have to do it make a backup of your working tab and flash the brick tab with the back up.

Alcutel pixi 3 (7) 4G 9007T tablet soft bricked

decided to play around with cleaning up the bloatware and Sprint installed junk on my Alcutel one touch pixi 3 (7) 4G 9007T tablet running originally android 5.1.1 , and ended up soft bricked stuck in a loop cycle of optimizing/staring apps, have scoured XDA and every other resource i have seen and for every device but this one there seems to be a fix, a stock rom, etc ,... one good thing is i am able to factory reset to at least enable debugging for adb access (though fastboot wont detect it) and hence cant get the device into a fastboot mode or unlock the loader.

Is there any compatible roms or recoveries out there for this particular device

Recovery <3e> Android L(not sure how to get a recovery log dump for providing more info)

I used nobloat app from google play had things pretty well cleaned up but thought to see how far i could go and i used the backup function in the app, but evidently i deleted something I shouldn't have and of course after trying a factorry rest the nobloat backup would be gone even if i could get botted back up)

after recovery I do get through the intitial setup, wifi, google account login etc,.. (using safemode) but if i use google backup files it gets to the loop fast, so i try to skip all that being restored, and am able to get to the settings to enable developer mode /debugging mode but once I exit that its a blank screen outside the clock showing then it reboots and keeps in the abov mentioned loop.

(as i mentioned adb detects the device but fastboot won't it just stuck on "waiting for any device"
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] peteri8706:
Hi all.

I have the 10, great phone so far.

I have rooted and ROM'd it with LeeDroid thus far and all is running well.

Question.

From root explorer, if I try and delete, copy or move something in the phone's storage, it will not allow me. On the MicroSD, no problems.

If I move a file to the phone storage, it's all ok, vice-versa, it says something about giving it permission through Android??? Anyone know how to get this done?

Funny it allows (with root aceess and permission given through SuperSU) to move files to the phone's storage, but not from the phone storage to the SD card??

I looked at the settings, storage etc, and cannot find a function which overrides or allows this to happen..........

Any help appreciated.

Cheers.

Im looking for a usage monitor which basically will predict my bill for the coming month. It needs to monitor gprs (like spb does) phone calls and text messages.

I have googled for this program, but with no luck.Therefore, im looking to develop it myself, probably using C# with visual studio 2005. I m downloading the trial, but as a user with no experience im going to be using msdn a lot while developing. Does anyone have any good guides for c#? because all the google results are either rubbish or expensive.

And, would it be better to program in a different language? [Ive looked at C++, but seems too complicated with no experience]

Also, what are some of the popular apps written here on xda-devs written in? [eg melody, slide to unlock, oto, schaps' programs etc]

Any if anyone knows of a product like this that already exists, please tell me, and save me some work.

And, does anyone know a way to get msdn premium subscription on its own or cheaply? As i think its a great resource just waiting to be tapped.

Thanks to you all here in the great developers forum, I just want to be considered on of you greats some time

I just paid $130 for this phone with Cricket less than a month ago. What timing. : (
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] JohnS85:
I heard comments that Cricket somehow screwed up some core functionality on this phone, like the any orientation call thing. Is there a way to get this onto whatever the stock Alcatel firmware is, and not the Cricket version? I've seen mentions of rooting and unlocking the bootloader for TWRP, so I'm thinking there is a way to just get as close to stock as you can on this, but it being Cricket after all, and some poor experience with the Moto G on Cricket, I'm expecting they somehow locked down all versions.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Murf.:
I'm on stock the way if came from cricket. I'm happy with it for the most part. It does have a notification widget and setting for the reverse phone thing, but I've ever turned it on as I deem it useless to me. I want to be holding the phone in the correct orientation. The phone does have an issue where the screen is way over sensitive and thinks you want a "tap" when you really want to "slide", but I don't think that is crickets fault. I don't know that the phone is worth $130. The only thing it has over my LG G Stylo (on Boost Mobile) is 2GB RAM/16GB ROM vs. 1GB RAM/8 GB ROM (and higher MP camera on idol 3, but had Marshmallow on Stylo). I expected better response with the 2GB RAM over the 1GB, but there is lag and stutters on this phone and I can't figure out why that would be. You'd think 2GB RAM would be plenty for any phone. However, for $80, it is definitely worth it! I just wish I could have got mine for that much. Don't know if I'd buy another Alcatel phone. I never heard of that brand until I got this one. I always had good luck with the mid-range priced LG phones.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] dongarritas:
I had the cricket version for about 4 months before it was stolen. Just replaced it with the 6045I global unlocked from Amazon for $199.00, and I must say that having both, and having paid $109.99 for the cricket version, you get what you pay for most definitely applies here. The only similarly between the two is the poor RAM management, which Marshmallow should hopefully fix. Cricket rep said that the hardware, firmware, and software were cricket specific, hence the low price and missing features. The global unlocked version came with the pre-marshmallow firmware, and latest security update out of the box. 2 very different phones. The tap to sleep and wake works flawlessly, among many other things. Just waiting for the ota marshmallow before I unlock and root the new one. Was running slim on the cricket with pretty good results, but I don't think that you can make the cricket version totally like the international. Good luck!
