Hi, I see a lot of posts everywhere, here and on reddit talking about how the latest PA wipes TWRP and root. I've never flashed a rom that did that. I'm not a newbie and would have been able to fix it, but my USB port is broken. I've been charging via the magnetic port. I don't like that people aren't being taken seriously with this request because in most cases, sure you could use flashboot, but in my case I'm locked out of my device.

I would use something like Rashr, but I don't have root. The only way I can think of to get root is to use one of those sketchy apps like KingoRoot and then install Rashr but I have a feeling that would probably brick my device and since it's "usable" (but I can't get into recovery or root it) I should probably cut my losses and sell it.

I think this release should be pulled if it's causing this many problems. If the release is updated with a working TWRP, would I be able to fix it through the PA updater, or is that only system files and no recovery?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Pirateghost:
We haven't shipped with root in a LOOOOONG time.

I've never seen a ROM flash remove recovery. The ROM itself has nothing to do with recovery, and doesn't actively remove it.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] thommcn:
I tried Paranoid Android on my Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, I liked it a lot, but P.A. breaks TWRP so I'd be forced to reinstall the rom from scratch with every rom update so I can't use P.A. :(
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] panzerox123:
Not required . It is very easy to get twrp after flashing PA. It is a problem with sony devices. Follow my guide on how to get twrp, but download the twrp for your device and not for z3 compact

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

Im not a 100% sure this will work, it mostly wont work, but try using kingroot to get root on the device, then use flashfire to flash recovery to boot/FOTA/Recovery partition depending on your device. Then try getting into recovery. But how did you get recovery in the first place if you had a broken USB? :confused: Why would you take chances?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] thommcn:
Hi panzerox123, Thanks for link to guide but no go - I followed that guide five times and failed five times. It fails at 'To enter recovery mode, power off your phone, and press and hold Vol-down and Power button together until you see the sony logo.', it boots stock android instead. I tried flashing to Recovery and to the FOTAKernel - both failed. Recovery doesn't work with stock or Paranoid Android on this Z3TC but does with CM12 and FreeXperia.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] panzerox123:
Really? This is how I got recovery back when I flashed pa. Are you sure fastvoot is working in your device? When you hold vol- and power button for around 10 seconds, you shoyuld see Sony logo, and then screen flashes and enters recovery.

Another question, did you download the correct twrp for your device? The link in the thread is for z3 compact phone
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] thommcn:
My tablet is the SGP611 'scorpion_windy'. Firmware: SGP611_23.5.A.1.291_UK.ftf TWRP: twrp-3.0.2-0-scorpion_windy.img (https://dl.twrp.me/scorpion_windy/twrp-3.0.2-0-scorpion_windy.img)

Vol- and power buttons are pressed until I get the Sony logo but it doesn't enter recovery - instead the tablet boots. Unlike with CM12, I don't get to see the violet led either.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] panzerox123:
Hmmmm very weird... are you on stock or pa?

Wait... Flash the latest firmware available for your device using flashtool. It updates bootloader so you can enter recovery using the above.

If all else fails, there is another method to update pa without starting from scratch every time. Can't explain it right now, I'm on Mt phone, when I get to lapptop , I'll explain
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] thommcn:
23.5.A.1.291 is the latest firmware that I downloaded with XperiFirm http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/pc-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142

Either stock or P.A. won't enter recovery.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] panzerox123:
Weird... I'll get back alright... Don't know why there are problems
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] thommcn:
The only method that will work for stock on this tablet to get recovery right now is this one: http://xdaforums.com/z3-tablet-compact/general/tutorial-stock-android-marshmallow-6-0-t3409486 using RecRoot.

As for P.A. - attempting to enter recovery results in continuous bootloops until reset.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] panzerox123:
That only happens when the wrong recovery is flashed...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] thommcn:
RecRoot is only used with stock because it was designed for the Z3 phone so obviously that is no good for our purposes as would still have to flash the correct version of twrp.

So I either flash the base.img from CM12 (lollipop) scorpion_windy or FreeXperia 6.0.1 (marshmallow) scorpion_windy, then flash TWRP scorpion_windy. Then get into recovery, then wipe dalvik, system, data, cache, then install paranoid android, then wipe dalvik + cache and finally reboot. Well it boots fine but booting in to recovery just ends in bootloops.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] igiona:
Same here.

Entering Recovery from ADB or standard hard buttons (USB + Vol-Up several time at boot) caused the boot loops.

The only way I found to enter the Recovery mode is: Unplug USB, Vol-down + Power press at the same time until the sony logo comes up.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] panzerox123:
That is not how you enter recovery, that is how you enter fastboot mode... To enter recovery, you need to have a recovery installed on the recovery partition. To enter it, press vol-down+power button until you see sony logo and then leave the buttons
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] igiona:
When the device is normally powered up, the status led turns purple/pink. There if the Volum-up (down as well?) is pressed a couple of time, the LED changes color and the device enters the Recovery mode.

Of course you need a recovery image to be flashed in the recovery partition.

The problem here is that with some ROMs (i.e. AOSPA) is not possible to enter the recovery mode via "purple/pink led" procedure. The device will enter a reboots loop.

This procedure works properly with CM12.1 and CM13.

from "theandroidsoul" (I cannot post outside link yet, sorry).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] panzerox123:
That is when your recovery is embedded with the kernel. If you have the latest marshmallow build for Sony, it allows to to boot into recovery partiton .

In reference to this video

[youtube]_Cd2WIxKRDk[/youtube]

Samsung had recently dropped "Samsung SDI", manufacturer of the batteries for the note 7, does the s7edge and galaxy s7 have batteries manufactured by the same company?

There are reports of s7 edges getting really hot to the touch after charging and even during normal use.

Just hoping one day we won't get the surprise news that all S7s get recalled for the same matter if applicable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Dri94:
You would have been heard if there were exploding batteries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] 8125Omnimax:
However If the plant responsible for those batteries is the same manufacturer that did the batteries for the S7, I wouldn't want to find out the hard way one day.

The flaw comes from poorly assembled batteries, lack of quality control.

Everyone focuses on the Note 7 but there are many complaining about excessive heat coming from the battery area of the s7edge...

You don't need to wait for the news to tell you these things
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Dri94:
I would say it's a very very low probability we have exploding phones seeing as the phone has been out awhile and there are no explosions.

Please look at the following pictures

Link : http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-tiny-facts-camera-bump-rubbery-gasket-battery-22428436/

View attachment 3867246

You Can clearly see "Amparex Technology Limited"

Could not find anything that the Amparex manufactured batteries were in any shape form the culprit

Here is a Note 7 Battery with "Donguan ITM Electronics" clearly shown

View attachment 3867247

Link: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Note7+Teardown/66389

Youtube video recently surfaced showing how this Dongan ITM Battery can become unstable if a foreign element finds its way into the battery

So we know its not just Samsung SDI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cd2WIxKRDk

Truth is we might not even know what battery is in our phones but if Samsung is placing blame on the manufacturing process of Samsung SDI, there are other regular S7's out there that do have the battery manufactured by this company. And the Donguan Battery which isnt mentioned in the news looks to explode very violently when provoked according to the Youtube Video

Cross our fingers we dont hear an S7 or S7 edge horror!

The Note 7 has a large amount of devices catching fire (20-30 70 in just the US alone) in a very short period of time, and they found a clear defect in batteries coming from one supplier. No matter how much you try to trump it up, the Galaxy S7 & S7E simply don't have a problem of this magnitude.

There is nothing to trump in this matter, if were carrying around phones that have batteries with questionable manufacturing issues, its worth looking into regardless. You clearly see what happens when the battery is ruptured.

Besides that, new replacement phones are being released this week from what im told in limited quantity with all issues fixed. You cannot simply disavow facts for personal belief. But then again we live in a "I told you so" society. There is plenty to see when you might have a battery that is made from a company with poor quality standards.

Ok after waiting forever for my AT&T Note 4 to gain root access I decided this time around to go international so I picked up a 930-FD. I didn't look into some of the things I would lose by not getting the AT&T model. I'm fine with losing LTE, but was surprised when I installed AT&T Visual Voicemail and it failed to work. After contacting AT&T they told me that is not a feature for models not made by them. Is this true or is there a way to make it work. I know it sounds stupid but I really liked that feature.
