Sorry to reply to such an old answer, but I have the same problem and I've been trying to solve it for ~8 hours now with no luck. I read the entire thread and didn't find the solution yet.

My device is a Sony XZ2 Compact H8314 - Stock ROM 52.1.A.3.49.

My last attempt was like this:

1. Unlock bootloader.

2. Download 2020-06-14_21-07-37_twrp_apollo.tar.gz from dhsfileserver.

3. Enter fastboot via adb reboot bootloader.

4. Run fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img.

5. Run fastboot boot twrp.img.

6. Load twrp.img via adb push twrp.img /sdcard.

7. Advanced menu -> Install recovery ramdisk -> Choose twrp.img.

8. Reboot to System.

But at this point the device reboots to TWRP again. So then I tried to install Magisk, but again, it reboot to TWRP. So I went to Advanced menu and chose "Fix recovery bootloop", but it rebooted to TWRP anyway after that.

I reflashed the ROM a lot of times at this point, tried different things, but nothing worked.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/by-name/misc did nothing, the result was similar to the one previously posted, something like:

No space left on device
2049+0 records in
2048+0 records out
1048575 bytes transferred...

If I try to "Fix recovery bootloop" again, I get another error:

Updating partition details...

Full SELinux support is present.
MTP Enabled

736B69705F696E697472616D667300 process ended with
ERROR: 1
Error patching kernel.

And cat /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc gave at least 2 different responses when I checked it. One of them was like this:

boot-recovery recovery
--wipe_data
--reason=MasterClearConfirm
--locale=en_US

But I don't remember the other one, it was wipe_data_and_something_else and a different reason.

logcat in case is helpful: https://pastebin.com/dHwuRdLn

Thank you for your time :)

I got this error. What should I do?

EDIT: SOLVED
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PerfectJam:
Hello there,

Maybe my question is stupid, but I don't find any answer on XDA.

I'm running 52.0.A.8.131 build on my XZ2C, rooted with magisk (20.3). Everything work fine, but I can't boot on my TWRP recovery for somes reasons.

Even from TWRP App, adb command... The device shut down, then (I guess) try to reboot on recovery, fail (I guess), and it reboots on system.

At the moment, from my understanding, I need to flash the recovery everytime I want to boot on it. After a long pause trying stuff on my phone, I can't find anymore the correct TWRP version for my build version here, and I don't dare trying to flash a TWRP version for Androd 10-11. Am I correct to be afraid of ?

As I said, everything is working smoothly, but I want to get the possibilities to make a TWRP image of my phone because I want try LineageOS (ungoogled life is a better life).

Thanks a lot for the help !

As Matin has written in post 1ff, he said:

I don't know, if it is possible to use one of those TWRPs with an installed LOS. Today, I use the LOS-Recovery. Don't understand the SlotA/B Configuration.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Probably your kernel is already patched, maybe with magisk. :)

I never saw this reboot reason. Did you do a full wipe?

The stock based LOS with its modified DTBO sadly isn't compatible for now.

Please upgrade to the newest stock firmware 52.1.A.3.49 or 52.1.A.3.137
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PerfectJam:
Hello and thanks for your answer.

The thing is, I can't update to these new firmware because OTA doesn't work anymore (even my phone is telling me that there is not new update available) and I don't want to lost all my data before being able to make an image of my entire system.

There is no possibilities to get an old TWRP version for my build version ?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think I can update to a newest stock firmware without a fresh install unfortunately :(
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Please use Xperifirm and Newflasher and if you want to avoid a full wipe, please remove the userdata.sin from the firmwarefolder. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joska59:
Hello Martin

Does that mean, LOS is only running/got to be installed with it's own recovery?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
For now, yes :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PerfectJam:
I guess I'll lost root and EdXposed ?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Yes.

Only on custom ROMs your modifications survive updates if they support the addon.d standard like magisk does.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PerfectJam:
Ok, so at the moment, I don't have solution of making a full NAndroid Backup of my phone.

I need to find first a TWRP for my build, at least for Android 9 I guess. Make a NAndroid Backup, and then I will try to flash LOS Recovery for a test.

I don't want to update if it's not necessary :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Haldi4803:
used Newflasher to install H8216_Customized CH_52.1.A.3.49-R3C fullwipe.

Tried to install this recovery as i did before. Failed. The fastboot boot twrp.img just sent me back to the ROM normally.

Installed boot.img and dtbo.img from SODP build aosp-11.0-20210408_aosp_h8216, after that the recovery booted.

Isn't that the newest firmware and should be compatible?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
I use Migrate, TitantiumBackup or OAndBackup as Backup solutions. :)

Updates are always necessary to avoid (security) bugs. :)

You tried the SODP TWRP instead of the STOCK TWRP?

On my XZ2 it works. :)

what`s about twrp-aurora and decryption (52.1.A.3.49-R6C)?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fuyuchip:
will this work on XZ2premium H8116 UK 52.1.A.3.49 ?

"fix Recovery bootloop" not work
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] der.lange:
My problems with twrp-aurora summarized:

Under Android 9, twrp can be installed in the ram disk; but after the first start in recovery no input is possible. The touch area has no function.

Under Android 10 (current version 52.1.A.3.49-R3C) I can boot twrp; but the directories and files are encrypted and cannot be read or used.

However, the installation was successful in that I can continue to work with adb. "adb devices" shows me that the device is in recovery mode. This enabled me to find the boot area with "adb shell" and to copy it into a "boot.img" with the "dd" command. after patching the img file by magisk I was able to upload the "magisk-patched-boot.img" and flash it with "fastboot". so I succeeded to get "su" rights and at least debloat the system. as long as no working camera is available, i will stay with this system.

"never touch a running system" !!!

Hi, MartinX3.

I have some question.

I'm using on xz2c(H8314) but, When I flash TWRP for Android 9(Pie) Stock(52.0.A.11.32 ,This is the latest version of Rom in our country.) but, TouchScreen not works.

so, I tried Older Version , apollo_twrp_v8.zip and apollo_v10.zip but It's can't be enter the recovery.

Oh, I only saw Change Log after writing comments.

It' means only boot and use it instead of flashing, right?

Thanks for all, sorry if my english is bad :(
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kalledawidson:
yup, f*ckd it up :-)

xz2c here with stock android 10

did the fastboot vbmeta.img,

did the fastboot boot twrp.img,

got into twrp (yeah!)

couldn't find the recovery ramsdisk twrp.img, tried to fix bootloop option (didn't work)

and thouhgt: well, let's restart it (yeah i lknow, stupid)

got stuck in a bootloop.

apparently there is a bootloop help guide,but can't seem to find it.

can't seem to get adb connection with phone anymore.

euhm, think i would like to say: help please :-)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Do you get any adb connection for a logcat? :)

Or is there any pstore?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Did you boot the wrong twrp?

There is one for a sodp based rom and one for vanilla stock.

As example lineageOS stock based would work, since they modified their DTBO image.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kalledawidson:
no adb connection

pstore? did try to google it, but that didn't help :-(
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Please take a look at the first page. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kalledawidson:
check.

tried:

VOLUP+POWER for 1 Seconds -> Forced crash to create a pstore

Boot the normal system.

boot the normal system? it stays in loop

and:

VOLUP+POWER for 3 Seconds -> RESTART with one Vibration.

VOLUP+POWER for 20 Seconds -> SHUTDOWN with 3 Vibrations.

VOLUP+POWER+CAMERA for 30 Seconds -> HARDWARE SHUTDOWN by discharging a capacitor.

it stays in loop
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
That's the SODP manual, because the modified sodp kernel in the sodp twrp has this pstore creator.

At your site the pstore on stock doesn't get created?

What kind of midification did you do to the system?

Removing system apps? Because you wanted to use the bootloop fixer in twrp (which is mainly for bootloops happening after you installed TWRP)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kalledawidson:
what i did was following this path until number 6, that's where i turned wrong, i couldn't find the twrp.img tried number 9, which didn't work (got some notification in red letters) and restarted:

to my knowledge i didn't remove anything or midificated things in the system.

you ask about my site, but i don't get what you mean.

and mega thanks for even reading this and probably thinking what a goof i am for just jumping without enough knowlegde :)

Update to newest stock firmware before unlocking!!!

Unzip the *.gz files with https://7-zip.org/ or Linux.

Enter fastboot via software, not hardware buttons. See "Known Bugs".

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot boot twrp.img

Advanced menu -> "Install recovery ramdisk" -> Choose twrp.img

Reboot into installed TWRP

Want Root? -> Magisk

(Only if your phone doesn't boot to system anymore)

Advanced menu -> "Fix recovery bootloop"

(Optional; Security degradation; Only if you know what you're doing)

Switch SELinux to permissive (with my permissive.zip)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
You should flash again your boot image from your custom rom, iif you tried the bootloop fix without actually having a bootloop.

Or maybe installing magisk in twrp may help.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kalledawidson:
check check and check!

i forgot that i could restart into bootloader through key combination

did that, did a rerun of al the needed to be done item, installed lineage and am up and running

thank you for you patience! :*

I have a Xperia XZ2 Compact Dual (H8324) running Android 10, 52.1.A.3.49

I am confused on which TWRP I should install, since there is none listed for my device config.. or should I downgrade first?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Newest stock firmware -> newest stock twrp
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Uusername:
excuse my ignorance but what is understood by "newest stock twrp"?

-by default TWRP does not label any of the XZ2 devices as compatible. and in your list the only dual sim are for android 8 and 9. I would like to root the device, but need to get a working recovery first.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
You run the newest stock firmware on both slots? Version 10 from 2020.

(need to be manually done by newflasher, otherwise one of the slots is older)

Then you can "fastboot boot twrp.img" and won't get any issues in the future which may happen, if the remants of the stock firmware were too old.

Dual/Single doesn't matter.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Uusername:
that easy.!!!

thanks!!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Uusername:
EDIT: NEVERMIND, Flashed latest firmware with newflasher. to solve my issue.​

I think I might have broken it....

The phone now says: "your device is corrupt it can't be trusted and will not boot. Your device will be powered off in 5 seconds" which it then does.

I followed instructions and successfully booted into TWRP again. then after system reboot, the evice did recovery bootloop. In advanced settings I activated recovery bootloop fix, an now I'm stuck here.

Any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
@Uusername

Did you install the wrong twrp.img?

Did you flashed magisk? (It can fix bootloops)

The fix bootloop is the last resort then.

But it does mostly the same as flashing magisk does.

To fix your phone, you can extract the boot.sin from your firmware folder, use "UnSIN.exe" from XDA and flash the resulting boot.img to your boot partition.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Uusername:
Once again, the same result:

I flashed latest firmware: Version: 52.1.A.3.49-R6C for Device: Xperia XZ2 Compact dual (H8324).

I downloaded TWRP: 2020-06-14_21-07-37_twrp_apollo.tar.gz

when executing the first fastboot command, I get error "fastboot: unknown option -- disable-verity" when I omit the options (fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img)the flashing succeeds, (but I assume this is also what is causing the corrupt sector.)

next steps:

fastboot boot twrp-apollo.img -->OK

Advanced menu -> "Install recovery ramdisk" -> Choose twrp-apollo.img -->OK

Reboot into installed TWRP -->OK

flash magisk23.0.zip -->OK

reboot --> loops a few times and then goes into "corrupt device" mode

I find it then easier to go into download mode and re-flash the firmware.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
You probably use old fastboot tools.

On my computer:

$ fastboot --version
fastboot version 31.0.2-android-tools
Installed as /usr/bin/fastboot
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Uusername:
that's one probable cause I was expecting, therefore I installed latest adb installer.bat which results in:

I went to look for newer and now I've got

that's giving me much better results, thanks!

It seems like I have now have a working recovery. Let's flash a custom ROM
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] entombor2:
All I can do is enter fastboot with the hardware key when plugging in xz3 dual sim.

Need a way to save this phone i just got with only fastboot.

edit: phone came with lineage OS 18 and LOS recovery.

tried this guide on debian, fastboot is outdated but supports these commands. either way i tried this guide and i am also stuck in a bootloop, system and recovery broken.

this is an a/b device and these commands didn't work with the partitioned system and i dont think this guide was made for a/b devices. anyone have any idea? i've tried other guides with writing images to boot_a and boot_b and I can't figure it out.

maybe something like this could work? https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/akatsuki/install
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Just use xperifirm, fastboot and newflasher to flash both slots.

To boot TWRP, you need a matching DTBO partition.

Stock DTBO for the stock TWRP.

SODP DTBO for the SODP TWRP.

I have the exact same issue. Using H8324_Customized DE_52.1.A.3.49-R3C and 2020-06-14_21-07-37_twrp_apollo.tar.gz. Have you found a solution? I updated my fastboot tools, but still the same.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Did you try it with magisk but without the bootloop fix?

And do you get ADB for a logcat?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] palamosteliaro:
Now i feel bad... I thought I found the solution before bothering you, but you are so fast!

I did not in fact had updated my fastboot. Lesson learned, always download them from google and not random xda threads...

The issue was flashing the vbmeta without the disable verification arguments, which gave an error with the old version of fastboot.

Thanks for your work porting twrp and sorry for posting an "issue" that was actually my mistake.

Hi,

I just tried to get twrp installed on my device but it fails. I already flashed 52.1.A.3.49_R3C and also 52.1.A.3.49_R6C with newflasher but twrp does not come up after step 5.

Update to newest stock firmware before unlocking!!!

Unzip the *.gz files with https://7-zip.org/ or Linux.

Enter fastboot via software, not hardware buttons. See "Known Bugs".

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot boot twrp.img

It performs two restarts and then boots into the stock Android.

Any ideas what I can try to do to resolve? I do not get any logcat and also files in /sys/fs/pstore are not accessible via adb shell. My device is XZ2C dual.

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
"adb root && adb shell"

Please use the stock based twrp with the stock rom.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Danj1:
Please forgive me. I got tomatoes on my eyes. Of course I have to use stock twrp until I flash AOSP and then switch to AOSP twrp...

Thanks a lot for leading into the right direction.👍

Hi everyone. First post after having read so many threads about my favorite sony devices for years...

So, I just spent the night trying to install TWRP on a xperia XZ2 compact dual.

Followed the instructions for TWRP from the OP and even compared that to a bunch of websites which have probably just extracted them from here anyway. (Except one page which suggested to actually flash the TWRP.img into the boot partition. Did't work either.)

After a while I figured I might have a TWRP.img unsuitable for the stock ROM.

Okay, I can easily flash lineageOS-recovery and install LOS 18.1. Still, there is just no way the XZ2c would boot into TWRP. Why...?

There isn't much to say, everything looks fine:

fastboot reboot bootloader
Rebooting into bootloader OKAY [ 0.000s]
Finished. Total time: 0.003s

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Rewriting vbmeta struct at offset: 0
Sending 'vbmeta' (4 KB) OKAY [ 0.004s]
Writing 'vbmeta' OKAY [ 0.001s]
Finished. Total time: 0.020s

fastboot boot twrp-apollo.img
Sending 'boot.img' (34120 KB) OKAY [ 0.790s]
Booting OKAY [ 5.592s]
Finished. Total time: 6.397s

After that the phone boots twice and launches... LOS.

My bootloader is 1310-7079_X_Boot_SDM845_LA2.0.1_Q_20.

TWRP is 2021-03-02_17-09-00_twrp_apollo from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=323737

(It's the only one available for Android 11, right? Couldn't find a version for the stock ROM.)

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xperinaut:
When I start newflasher from the firmware directory (H8324_Customized DE_52.1.A.3.49-R3C in my case), all I get are error messages. ("GetOverLapped_out_Result: failed with error code 1 as follows" and so on...)

(Yes, I did install the sony driver successfully. Have to do it every time the phone rebooted actually... Otherwise the error would be "No usb device with vid:0x0fce pid:0xb00b". :rolleyes: )

Anyway, I hope to get around this. There's a point where it's just too much effort. I use TWRP mainly for backups, and there are other ways.

EDIT: stupid me, I forgot the driver. Flashing now...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xperinaut:
Bootloader version is 1310-7079_X_Boot_SDM845_LA2.0.1_Q_207 now.

Again, no TWRP boot. Neither with fastboot boot twrp-apollo.img nor after a fastboot flash boot twrp-apollo.img. Also, no finger breaking trickery (Volume down + Power) would do.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
Sadly the manipulated dtbo partition of the stock los port is incompatible to the stock based twrp kernel.

It would need a seperate twrp port for each stock based customrom as far as I know.

(This problem doesn't exist with sodp based roms)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xperinaut:
Ooookay. So I followed this: https://xdaforums.com/t/sodp-rom-aosp-xz2-xz2c-xz3-sonyaosp-11-beta.4180835/ until I could install TWRP. There are quite some hurdles to jump.

Do I neet to (re)flash the TWRP image after I flashed the AOSP ROM zip file?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MartinX3:
The recovery is part of the Boot partition.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xperinaut:
Hmm. I tried to restore a data backup from a working AOSP with this TWRP version, but afterwards the system won't boot any more. After the "android" boot animation It get's stuck in "Smartphone wird gestartet" (Smartphone is beeing started").
