Hi Guys, i had a problem with my TWRP. I want to flash a zip using twrp but when i'm entering twrp (Power button + volume down button) it's just showing black screen. I know that it already in twrp mode but what im need here is the GUI because i want to flash a zip by phone. Can anyone help with some tutorial to change twrp or anything??
thank you :angel:
btw, my xperia m4 aqua is rooted

have you unlocked your bootloader if so flash the recovery.img from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-sony-m4-t3229873
if you have not unlocked your bootloader then follow this this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/bl-locked-twrp-touch-recovery-bl-locked-t3257430

Thanks to all the guys posting in this forum.
I finally managed to:
- unlock bootloader with the hardware trick (without loosing DRM?)
- upgrade from stock FW 335 to 368
- unroot device
so far i can help anyone having troubles with it
now i need to:
- install CM7.1 using rom manager, but the question is:
which is the Clockworkmod Recovery for the SK17? (it's not listed in the RM options).
Thanks for answering

he meant recovery mode. you can enter it by pressing volume down key during first 5 seconds of boot. you should wipe data and apply cm7 zip file there.
but i cant enter it. im wondering if i have to replace boot.img first :S
yes thats right , u need to replace boot image first.

ok thanks.
people are reporting that menu LEDs are very bright. do you know if theres a way to reduce brightness or disable the light completely?
for what i know this the vol down at boot should trigger the Clockworkmod Recovery, but as I cannot install it it's obvious that we cannot see it...
inside update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaMiniPro-SK17i-signed.zip there is a boot.img but don't know how to handle it... :-/
is it that the file that should be flashed using fastboot?

yes, boot.img via fastboot.
the instructions are on the official CM thread. here's the post for Mini Pro. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16822404&postcount=4
so i must:
1: estract boot.img from update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaMiniPro-SK17i-signed.zip
2: flash via fastboot
3: put update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaMiniPro-SK17i-signed.zip on the sd card
4: trigger the recovery mode via vol down on boot
5: flash CM7.1?
right?

i believe so.
there are some issues. LEDs under menu keys are super bright, and some people are reporting vibration and keyboard layout issues. keyboard layout can be solved (theres a thread for it) and vibration could be due to not wiping data before applying CM. keyboard layout could be due it as well.
so basically, LEDs is the only known issue right now.

boot.img (inside the zip file) is 4,27 MB (4.481.024 byte) dated 29.2.2008, right?

cant you enter recovery mode again with volume down key?

i didnt installed the zip yet.

shall i push voldown + on button at the same time to enter recovery?

So just a heads up here, i managed to test the CWM, it works! Just that i think people might find it hard to go into recovery mode. Have your phone TURNED OFF. HOLD VOLUME UP + POWER BUTTON at the same time. Once a blue flash and the first vibration occurs, you can now immediately release the POWER BUTTON. But keep holding onto the VOLUME UP BUTTON. Once the Boot logo shows up followed by the 2nd vibration, you can now immediately release the VOLUME UP BUTTON. You'll go into CWM Mode
Ok, just a little report. I just had 2 FCs now after installing it yesterday. Not a big issue to me. I'm guessing i should just fix permissions.

The SU binary and busybox seems to be installed incorrectly. There is no request for superuser access and many scripts have problems finding busybox. I have to flash a superuser zip and install busybox manually.
Thank you so much for this CWM! But i've few questions!!
I'm first gonna flash Extended Stock Kernel,Then my phone is rooted!!
Inorder to get CWM, i flash this kernel, does that mean, i will lose the essentials of the extended stock kernel (root+features)??

Just flash this kernel and there will be root and cwm. No need to flash other kernel. Only unlocked bootloader need.
After flashing install Superuser or SuperSU from market and update su binary.

I re-flashed the stock kernel via flashtool and the .ftf, but now my phone refuses to charge turned off...is there any way to fix this?
Use the power off button at the back to make sure its turned off. Then try flashing again and rebooting...

My phone was rooted and cwm installed. went to update internet app on phone (stock app) phone booted into cwm recovery. Went to reboot just booted back to cwm. looked at install zip from /sd card only have one directory /clockworksmod/. installed lg drivers on pc but its still not recognizing phone. i have downloaded the stock rom on to my pc just need a way to put it on phone. cant put it on a sd card as phone does not have a slot for one. try to go into boot loader screen but just get cwm recovery. there are no backups. ADB does not recognize phone. cant use factory restore as it just goes to cwm recovery screen.
Sorry if its in the wrong place.
Feel free to move it
Thanks hope you can help

Tested only in Xperia M4 Aqua E2303, you need UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER,steps:
1. download this recovery (thanks to @dani020110 and your corresponding boot (rename it to boot.img):
FOR E2303.
FOR E2333
FOR E2306
FOR E2353
FOR E2312
2. copy them inside the adb folder and boot into fastboot mode, type in the shell:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
3. let the phone booting ,shut down and boot again in fastboot mode then:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Now you have ROOT WITH LATEST SUPER SU 2.76 and custom Recovery.ENJOY
at you own risk .
Going to try that out tomorrow morning, it is already late in my country. But thanks you're a livesaver!

for locked bootloader we can't flash the recovery via fastboot, must includes both recovery and root in the rom.
But is it possible (for locked bootloader) to update using a pre-rooted zip with the old recovery? Or flashtool is needed to update something at bootloader level?
Hmm... Looks like i cant get root access, SuperSU app is working and everything but other apps cant get root access.

On my xperia z3 d6653 I have this rom installed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/rom-existenz-marshmallow-v1-0-0-29-04-t3368343
All was going good for months and today I installed busybox and my phone is caught in bootloop and even lost twrp recovery.
The Purple led blinks when I press vol down key but it doesnt boots into twrp instead it simply keeps showing sony logo.
Can I simply flash twrp recovery and get access to my data stored on internal memory which is very very important.
Please help me somebody.
Please also post link to twrp compatible to my D6653 model which I will flash via Flashtool.
