HELP NEEDED!

I got a massive problem with my XZ1 compact. Briefly what happened:

1) i was on stock .145 FW all good, except I had no camera due unlocked bootloader

2) i did full TWRP backup of all partitions

3) flashed .179 FW, all good, used that for a half day

4) did DRM fix by Xperifix, something went wrong because weirdly I lost display underglow after booting to system.

So I decided to restore my TWRP:

1) booted to recovery, wanted to restore all partitions: ERROR - "system can't be mounted and that structure needs cleaning" (WTF) I googled for an hour with no solution, so I wiped everything

2) flashed .179 (minus .ta files), wiped again everything. display is OK, then I again tried recover all partitions and again it needs cleaning. So again wiped everyhing:

3) flashed again .179, and tried to restore only /data, and got ERROR 255.

Am I doing anything wrong? I sadly do not have .145 FW on which based I have my last backup, but I thought it is irrelevant since it is a bit-copy of the state of the phone.

So I have stock .179 FW, and TWRP backup on my PC. Can anybody please help me, how to get my system working and most importantly data back? I don't care about xperifix/DRM in the moment.

Thanks

I'm having an interesting problem with my xz1 compact when I try and get twrp onto it. Hoping someone may be able to lend a hand.

When I send the command:

fastboot devices <--it lists my device serial with "fastboot" next to it. All good.

When I send the command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I get this back:

target didn't report max-download-size

sending 'recovery' (30172 KB)...

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

I've dug around on the internet and tried some of the suggestions I've seen, changing usb ports, usb cables, rebooting my laptop. Nothing seems to be working.

I'm on ubuntu with fastboot version 1:7.0.0+r33-2.

Also, adb works flawlessly, I've never had any issues with it at all.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

No idea if .zip should work. Tried with the .tar.img?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] auz_mo:
That was a fat finger typo by me; the file is recovery.img. I downloaded the zip and extracted it, and then went back and downloaded the .img just to make sure it wasn't a bad download. I'll edit my original post. Thanks for pointing that out!

To add to this:

It's looking like just about none of the fastboot commands are working; really just fastboot devices is the only thing coming back with anything. I'll go buy another usb cable tomorrow to make sure it's not that. I don't have enough of these usb-C cables lying around anyway!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] auz_mo:
The new cable did the trick. so strange!

To anyone having issues; the factory cable (which I have 2 of) is garbage, go spend 20 bucks on a good cable.

How to flash / how to boot

Hi all!

Am probably blind, but I cannot find 'how to flash' information into OP or after using the search function.

Does recovery still goes into FOTAKernel partition or does the 'recovery' partition now exist?

Unfortunately I had to find out last night that with the current version 3.2.3 my USB-OTG does not work anymore - with version 3.2.1 it worked.

There is no USB stick detected in the TWRP - I tested three different USB sticks that had worked with version 3.2.1.

The USB sticks were formatted alternately with FAT32, exFAT and NTFS.

All USB sticks were recognized correctly in the LineageOS ... but not in the TWRP.

Does anyone know a solution?

Guys please, just to be safe. Can you give me the procedure in details. I'm on 47.1.A.16.20. Then I unlock bootloader (I dont care about stock camera because it's sh*t). Please provide the steps after that because I don't know if "Integrity" is mandatory or not. I've flashed twrp on other devices but it looked a little bit simpler, few commands in CMD and thats it. Here it looks the same but I'm not sure and don't wanna mess something up.

I've unlocked my bootloader and flashed TWRP but can't boot into it, either using adb commands or the button combination. My phone just reboots normally instead of rebooting into TWRP. I am on the latest firmware (Sept security patch, 47.1.A.16.20, CE1 firmware with the US OEM sin file) and flashed TWRP 3.2.3.0 from the link in the OP. Fastboot terminal returned "OK" during flashing.

Can anyone help me figure out where I've gone wrong?

Definitely...because finally the button combination worked after I wrote that, after trying it a bunch of times. Still couldn't boot into it via adb, but buttons are fine for me now.

Now the next thing is trying to figure out why the zip I'm trying to flash won't work, but that's another question for another thread. I miss the days when unlocking and rooting were easy and could be done with one-click tools in minutes...

:rolleyes:I come home from work open my email and see that Skyfire has deleted my SMS.

After looking at this for a few seconds I see it was also sent to three other email addresses from my contact list.

I then look in my sent folder and see an email that went out to three or four people from my computer containing a picture of a women lying in a lounge chair on the beach with

her very large breasts pushing through the cheaply made strapping. Above it the caption reads “Wal-Mart recalls cheaply made lounge chairs”

I look at the time it was sent and call my son into my office, he says he thought it was a funny email and forwarded it to a few friends!

Looks like when he made his forward list info@skyfire was included. Actually I think it’s a pretty funny email! I guess I’ve been banned from Skyfire!

I think they need a little better sense of humor over at the SKYFIRE office. If you want to see the email PM me and I’ll send it to you. I would love to hear what you think!

[Solved] After the last edit, I could go to fastboot and redo a "fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot twrp.img"

Hello,

I have a z2 pro, and i wanted to change the ROM on it. Since it came with a modified ROM, i flash a stock ROM. I then unlocked bootloader sucessfully.

I transfered the new ROM to the phone and did a

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

The phone booted with twrp correctly. I then did a wipe of system, cache and dalvik.

I tried to install the new ROM, but it prompted me the error "Unknown Command [log]". Having already installed a new ROM on another device, i remembered that disconnecting the usb cable or rebooting did the work, so i did both.

Now, the phone isn't recognized by my computer, so i can't redo the "fastboot flash", and when i go into recovery mode, it isn't TWRP that is loaded but this [IMG="recovery"]https://lnv.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/84733i133DF9308AE39779/image-size/large?v=1.0&px=999[/IMG]

How can i do to load TWRP again on the phone, or flash a ROM ?

I have shut down the phone and hold the power button, windows seems to recognize it as a cd drive. QFIL still doesn't change his status from "no port available"

Edit: After reinstalling QPST, qualcomm driver and usb driver, QFIL now detect this port "ShenQi HS-USB Diagnostics (COM4)" and if i check "Show Non QDLoader\DIAG Port" it also show "ShenQi HS-USB NMEA (COM7)" and "ShenQi test mode Interface (COM5)".

When i tried to do a download content, i got prompted the following error "Download Fail: Switch to EDL Fail".

When i run "adb devices" it show the phone under "? unauthorized"

Keep Pressing vol down button 4/5 secs & connect usb.

Check device manager in pc.

If its showing diagnosis no problem.

Open qfil & load content file from ur rom.

Click download content & just keep it connected.

Qfil automatically switches to download mode (9008) & starts flashing rom.

If download mode does not start on its own check these items below :

Update windows, even optional updates.

Use QPST 2.7
