You don't need TWRP for root. Plenty of guides on here on how to get root. Just remember that by unlocking you have to wipe the phone clean. so backup everything first.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
there's plenty ways to get root, after you unlock bootloader (eg: magisk boot patch)

right now twrp is kinda like work in progress till i manage to get vendor_boot to works on a12 and 13, once i get that twrp will be a lot safer
[Sony Xperia 1 III] ZellZoy:
Hmm I'll have to take another look. I tried installing the magisk apk and it didn't give me the option to patch like my last phone did. Would you happen to have a guide for this phone or maybe just a more up to date one? I have not rooted since android 9

Every guide I'm finding seems to require the stock boot.img and I can't find that for this phone

edit: Found and followed this guide

[Sony Xperia 1 III] Am2cute:
there're a few problems on the TWRP for the sony stock rom, to solve the problems, lolipru need active testers that flashed custom roms, such as SparkOS, RiceDroid, LineageOS, etc.

so, here's boot.img one https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H7iQbwGJqZ-yjpFgf-ymFfhI1L0UP4-V/view?usp=share_link

but keep it in mind that this CANNOT use to flashing any custom rom, including magisk. only for access data on stock rom only

- modify /data isn't working due to rc=0 error

- module loading isn't works either

- decrypt data only works on A slot

full explanation

i didn't have device, and i didn't got any promise for money to buy device either. everything rely on testers

for someone who want to donate for buying device here's paypal (right now i don't need testers, i need a real device. cost me around 560$ here

or pm if someone want to send me a device *especially usa, due to having cheap service to send it to here*, i'll made good use for it)

Can this TWRP be flashed with "fastboot flash recovery XXXXXXXX"?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
no, 1 III doesn't have /recovery
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Sony devices use what is called "Recovery in Boot" meaning the recovery resides inside the boot partition. SInce there's no recovery partition to flash TWRP too and no way that i can see to add a recovery partition; which makes it much more difficult for the stock rom to boot with a custom recovery because the boot image fails validation.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steso90:
can i use this twrp to backup my kernel and flash a new one? @loipuru
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
this twrp is replacing boot partition, so no, rather manually backup boot.img or unsin stock boot.img
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steso90:
ah okay, and if you typ fastboot boot twrp dont work either? anyway i hope you figure out a fix for twrp.

If there are anything i can help with (testing) im happy to help
[Sony Xperia 1 III] loipuru:
fastboot boot "never" works on sony since xz3 afaik

for now only issues will be certain module won't load, cause partially hardbrick on vendor_boot (not affect on /boot but it made /data accessing useless)

OP's download link is dead. Anyone got a mirror?

I already got LineageOS installed and everything's running well, so I just wanted to replace LOS' recovery with TWRP to make (and eventually restore, if needed) a NANDROID backup. Would that work?

I've read TWRP on this device has issues with the data partition, so I don't wanna risk a hard brick just for a backup that maybe I won't even need 😅

[apparently adding a quote when editing message reposts it so please ignore this one]
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Gionathan:
So is this safe to flash (as long as the OP guide is followed)?

or should we wait for an update?

I've been using LineageOS for microG ROM and its recovery (which currently says Active slot: a) on the 1 III US version (XQ-BC62)

so should I flash twrp-iii.img to A, B or whatever slot is not what's returned by fastboot getvar current-slot?

I'm kinda confused because some messages in this thread suggest using the active slot while others say inactive (or A/B, idk), and I really want to avoid bricking my phone 😅

Just went for it and it's looking good so far.

Though I guess my question now is: is this TWRP build reliable for full NANDROID backups and restore?

Is it safe to replace my current recovery (LineageOS') in A so that I don't have to connect my phone to my PC to switch to partition B to launch TWRP?

I've read about risks and bricking so is there anything I should avoid other than the obvious?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Is this project dead ?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
I wouldn't fully rely on nandroid backups. Use something like Neo Backup for app backups + manually archiving internal storage as plan B. Nandroid backups are only useful if you plan on switching between custom roms often.

In any case, if restoring nandroid backup fails, you can still extract app backups manually with this linux script: https://github.com/joshuabragge/twrp-manual-restore

(maybe use the version currently in pull requests)

Downside being you'd obviously need a linux PC to run it.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Gionathan:
Yeah, I already use Neo Backup to backup app + data, but I like TWRP for NANDROID backups in case I need to revert unrecoverable issues that prevent booting up to use apps like NB to begin with 😅

[Sony Xperia 1 III] project_2501:
Has anyone tested the 1 iii TWRP on a 5 iii ?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Steadfast888:
Just wanted to sum up this project for anyone new to this device. This deivce has A and B partitions, which have no seperate recovery partition. This guide shows you how to put twrp on the B slot, which evidently has no operating system. So, since there is no place to put twrp next to an os, you won't be able to use it for flashing custom roms. so, if you don't have another reason for wanting twrp on your phone, don't flash this. Instead flash a cutom rom that has its own recovery. If I am wrong about this, the op can feel free to correct me.

hello guys. i have sony 1 iii SOG03. how can i root and install custom recovery.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] amakuramio:
This link still works, basically instructions are the same as first post,

set the system to a, use newflasher to install firmware v61, then in fastboot set active partition b, flash twrp boot img, then when u need to use phone use a partition to boot, and b partition to enter twrp, you can only use it to copy data from internal storage after a soft brick for example. I accidentally deleted the google mainline module and had bootloop, but couldn't use this twrp to restore it to data/apk so this twrp was useful to backup

By the way, since my last question wasn't quite answered, is it safe to replace LineageOS's recovery in the active partition? Currently I have LOS ROM+recovery in one partition and TWRP in the other. Also is one partition more important than the other? I read some stuff only work in partition A so if I were to have both LOS+TWRP in the same partition, should it be A or B?

Hello. I'm kinda new to this whole "flash a ROM to your phone" scene, I'm just trying to rollback stock Android 11 onto my Xperia 1 III which was... stolen and sold to a pawnshop, where some idiot decided to update it to Android 12. Long story short - I've managed to get my device back, but the damned update ruins the experience for me (be it A12 or A13, I just want A11 back). Can this program help me with flashing 61.0.A.23.20 update, if Newflasher failed? Yes, I have the bootloader unlocked. I can freely switch between flashing Android 12 and 13 and they both work, but the Android 11 always ends up in a bootloop.

IMPORTANT: /data CANNOT be wiped. Pictures are irreplaceable (I know should have backed up first, but you'll see why I couldn't)

Here's what happened:

Phone had Lineage OS recovery and OS 18.1

Forgot pattern unlock.

Tried to dirty flash Lineage 19.

Reboot

Recovery error: /data is inaccessible

Loaded TWRP to use file manager to delete pattern files.

Reboot

TWRP asking for pattern to decrypt /data/media, unknown

Looked for pattern files, pattern files didn't exist

Deleted lockscreen.db file.

Reboot

TWRP Pattern unlock is gone. now asking for password.

No passwords work, including default_password.

Can't decrypt /data/media/0 by any means.

Cannot pull using ADB without key which is unkown.

Discovered f2fs isn't supported in new TWRP (WTH!?)

Tried downgrading to TWRP 3.1, won't load.

Tried dirty flashing stock ROM, fails

I have tried many variations of recovery, bootloaders and ROMs

The best I can get is TWRP 3.7 with lineage 19 that just hangs on the Loading animation. Let it go for 2 hours, nothing.

Please please help me. My end goal was to get the pictures so I could upgrade to Lineage OS 19.

This method seems to work best for changing bootanimations on the OP8/Pro.

How to add your own bootanimation:

Download [Magisk]OPGoogle.zip

On computer, "Open Archive" of this zip with 7zip or similar program

Navigate to system>product>media in with this open

Pull bootanimation of your choice into this folder (must be named "bootanimation.zip")

Make sure it is similar ratio/description as original bootanimation in this folder!

Go back and make sure the archive is saved.

Now navigate to root of this zip and open module.prop in an txt editor (I use VSCodium but many will work like notepad++, etc)

Change information here to your own and

Save it somewhere on your computer before pulling it into the open archive to replace the one in it

Navigate back and make sure to archive saves and close

Now you have a flashable bootanimation module for OP8/Pro

The attached bootanimation is a Google/Pixel BootAnimation (black). Enjoy! ^o^

Again, big thanks to @Extreme_Ninja2099 . Hope they don't mind me making this guide :) lmk

[FYT Android Head Units] Moniushko:
Not sure why but this version of CarLink doesn't work for me. I plug in my phone and it doesn't detect it. Only version 2.22.0107.1105 works for me but night mode doesn't work with headlight dimming.
[FYT Android Head Units] daviddosa:
It’s working fine for me. I only use it wirelessly, never plugged my phone in, I’m using CarPlay. Headlight dimming works too on my M300S, but I had to change that in the settings for the headunit itself and not in the app.
[FYT Android Head Units] thericksizzler:
Same, all works for me too. never plugged my phone. wireless only.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
What's your firmware version? Joying mentioned somewhere in May that you have to update the firmware to make it work with the newer versions of Carlink.

Other resellers simply add it to a complete new firmware to prevent these kind of issues. That's why @daviddosa took it from the latest complete M300S firmware.
[FYT Android Head Units] Moniushko:
I'm honestly not sure how to tell. The firmware is stock from when I got it sk I assume it's dated back to 2021. My HU's brand is "D-Noble" and I haven't been able to find a website that has all the unit's firmware. Searching on XDA, there's only like 2 or 3 mentions of this brand. The seller ghosted me on AliExpress so can't get it from there. I was thinking about flashing the firmware from another brand like Joying, but I was afraid that my HU's firmware is too "custom" and I didn't wanna mess that up. By custom, I mean that it looks like it was specifically configured to work with and look like a VW HU.

Edit: Just checked my FYT.prop and my FYT manufacturer is 94. I found an FYT manufacturer list on here and it only says 94 is "VAG". Sorry if this doesn't help much.
[FYT Android Head Units] Moniushko:
I just flashed Joying's 8-15-22 update from their website (just the kernel, no apps) and still no luck. I plug in my phone and Carlink fails to detect it. Still only works on 2.22.0107.1105.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Then I suppose the "support" for the new carlink is in the AllAppUpdate.bin. You need to adapt it for your unit before you flash it.

I can't help you further as I don't use Carlink. I have a nice uis7862 Android unit who has all functionality itself (just like you).
[FYT Android Head Units] Moniushko:
Thanks for your help! I know you wonder why people want to use AA on a full-fledged Android unit. For myself, I like the seamlessness between my phone and the screen. I don't want to fuss much on my unit, including having to use my phone as a hotspot just to get internet on the unit. AA provides a simple car-centric interface that I can use to simply navigate, get messages from my phone and listen to Spotify.
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
Its probably best to obtain a genuine Android Auto headunit instead of knockoff Kang emulator, the latter you could expect to be endlessely chasing updates for bugs.
[FYT Android Head Units] Moniushko:
@surfer63 I was able to figure it out. As per your suggestion, I flashed the full firmware from Joying (including the AllAppUpdate.bin) and I was able to successfully get the newer of version of CarLink to work. It even switches day/night mode with my headlights too! Unfortunately, the firmware update broke some other stuff such as

UI and MCU not matching error

I now get a "hybrid driving" page that doesn't go away every time I drive/switch drive modes on my car

RDS text no longer appearing on radio apps

I know how to fix the first error, and I think I can fix the second error by replacing the com.syu.ms.apk from my backup. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix the last issue but I guess I'll have to live with it. Seems like the latest FYT firmware updates may have changed something fundamental with how the MCU handles RDS text?

Anyway, thank you for your help!
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
If you change the FYT manufacturer id back from 43 (Joying) to your manaufacturer (I assume you saw my script at the bottom of post #1 of the "General FYT based Spreadtrum uis7862 (unisoc ums512) - Q&A, Mods, tips, firmware" thread), issue 1 should be solved. However, this might also solve issue 2 and 3.

Note that the FYT firmware also checks this manufacturer ID to send/receive different commands/codes/data to/from the MCU. The Android ms.apk, plus a few other apks, behave differently towards the MCU based on the manufacturer id.
