Kernel + TWRP - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

Hello guys,
So i've tried to flash twrp on my m4 aqua (e2303) for a few days, but with no success. I tried fastboot and flashing apps for the phone (flashify says it cant find the recovery partition, something like that). In fastboot it says that its installed but it is not. It doesn't boot to recovery (tried it with button combinations, adb command and flashify's in app option)
I managed to unlock the bootloader with flashtool and flash the boot.img with fastboot that gives root access, but no success with flashing twrp.
So i was wondering is there a kernel that i can flash with the flashtool, which has an included twrp ?
The kernels that i found don't include any custom recoveries in them... Any help ?
Thanks in advance

TWRP should be installed with fastboot if it says it's installed. What button combination did you do? Hold power button and volume down sinulateneously till it vibrate then continuely smash the volume down button. Should boot.

Well, i have to admit that this is the only button combination that helped.
I obviously did something wrong when trying to access the recovery. Thanks so much!
Dont judge, im a noob :cyclops:

[Q] help me Power button is dead

HI,

Fast boot is not working Only flash mode

​Can not install the recovery by flashtool?
​Please help me !!
Fastboot: VOL UP
Flashmode: VOL DOWN
Yes, you can access recovery by flashing a kernel that has Recovery. The you power it on (somehow), and boot into recovery. May i ask you what you want to do in Recovery?

Hi thank you
Bet Fast Boot Not Working
only flashmod working
Can I flash a custom kernel with Ftf?
only Ftf flash
I want TWRP
You'll need to use Fastboot to flash a kernel. You can flash a stock ROM using flashmode if you want to. Just remember to un-check "data" and stuff under "Wipe" before flashing, unless you want to delete everything on your Ultra.

Cannot flash anything nor boot into recovery [device rooted]

Basicly I tried everything to get into recovery or flash / imstall a new one. Nothing worked so far..
My device is rooted and I can install all apps which need root acces.
I now installed Flashify and when I click on "Recovery image" or "Boot image" it says "Partition not found".
And since I cannot boot into recovery I cant install anything via zip files...
Would be nice if someone could help me.
Best Regards

use another method to boot into recovery
like ADB commands
Code:
adb reboot recovery
:good:
If your bootloader is locked, simply use [NUT]'s dual recovery.
If your bootloader is unlocked, install any 4.4.4 based kernel what has recovery built into it. I'm using AndroPlus as I'm running a 4.4.4 ROM as my main ROM.
Well there are severel apps which makes your device boot into recovery. None worked and I think the use the same method?

I'm assuming you are using [NUT]'s dual recovery? Did you install busybox before running the recovery installer? If not, install it, then run the recovery installer again. You will see the green LED when the device is showing the SONY logo before the waves bootlogo.

the problem is not enter into recovery.
the first time i have flash wrong twrp. when i enter in recovery, by hardware procedure, in the bottom of screen i read version of twrp.. and is version twrp 3.0.0r2. this is a wrong version!
then.. i do flash from pc, flash operation success.. and ONLY with command "fastboot boot XXXXX.img" , where xxxx.img is name of recovery i have flash before, i can enter in correct twrp.
i don't know why, but i think i can't flash and fix the correct version of twrp. bhooooooooooo!
edit:
problem solved..
i have rename twrp img file in "recovery.img" and i have flash it in fastboot mode by pc..
i have try to enter in recovery with adbo command (adb reboot recovery) and phone reboot in correct twrp version;
then i have try to enter in recovery with hardware procedure (poweroff, volume up + power and release power when appear Mi logo, tap on "recovery") and it work;
and, in the end, i have try to nter in recovery mode by app "updater"
all works perfectly now!

Hi,, i've successfully unlocked my redmi 3 bootloader, and now there's root permission option in security app. I tapped it and confirmation prompt to get root acces appear, i click ok, then my device download something (my assume its root file), and reboot by it self after. Now i have rooted redmi 3 with unlocked bootloader but no superSU installed.
I want to install twrp recovery which is official now for redmi 3, i've read about dm-verity thing in our redmi 3 and still confused about it.
Can i just install twrp recovery thru twrp manager app from play store? If yes, can i go into twrp recovery via updater app.?
Thanks in advance.
you can install twrp by fastboot!
and then yes, you can enter in twrp by updater app

Congratulations you just followed the official method of getting root access successfully, root access is not from SuperSU but from MIUI itself, it's in the Security app.
You can, but the phone won't boot anymore then, because of the dm-verity thingy. So in another word, you have to disable it by flashing a modified boot image, I'm not sure but some custom ROM might have come with the modified image already, but MIUI ROM definitely doesn't, it is certain you'd get a boot loop after flashed TWRP and try to boot into Android again. That's the simple explanation. And yes you can go to TWRP from updater app, it's the same thing as writing 'reboot recovery'.

Stock emui recovery image lost after twrp!!! Fail to get EMUI recovery to life

Hi all,
Im using honor 7 plkl01 5.0.2.
I just install twrp and my stock recovery image is gone and i wish to get it back. So i flashed the b130 stock recovery.img from TWRP.
But it ends up with error 11 (recovery) and error 2(load).
Is there any way i can get my stock emui recovery back to life so that i can update my firmware locally?
Ps, i tried adb to flash but ends up write recovery error and command not allowed. my phone is unlocked by the way.
fastboot devices
[should reply with a device]
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[with recovery.img in the same folder as adb]
You should try starting with B100 files.
Which rom are you using? Open Multi Tool and flash your currrent rom's stock recovery by following instructions. It's so simple.

Hi,
And yes it's correct, but i help a little more, to get the recovery of B100 download the B100 firmware, then download HuaweiUpdateExtractor to extract the recovery.img, then you've said all ^^
Put the .IMG in the same folder with adb... Flash, it should work, then maybe a hardreset
Good luck
Edit 1 : By the way, i prefer flash the recovery manually

You can't flash a recovery if you are booted into recovery, it's like pinning down a person and asking him to get up.
Okay so to flash a recovery you must be in bootloader mode, to boot into bootloader mode you have to first switch off your device then press Vol DOWN+Power Button once booted into bootloader mode, fire this command to flash recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The recovery.img file should be in the same folder from where you are executing the command.

Hi, i know you know the way ^^ but you made a little error, to perform the command, it's in fastboot mode ( Vol. DOWN + Power )
Vol UP + Power leads to the recovery
Unless this works too ? :eek:

Oh yeah, thanks for noticing, that's my mistake. no it's Vol DOWN + Power only for bootloader.

TWRP flash succesful, but no recovery boot.

Hi All,
I have an Redmi 3 pro with unlocked BL and the latest "official" weekly 7.3.9 from xiaomi.eu and latest TWRP 3.0.2.0 from official twrp site.
I am unable to flash twrp.
I flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then boot into it using fastboot boot recovery.img with no issue at all.
Then,
if i reboot into recovery from twrp itself it still works.
if i let it boot the phone in its bootloader (POW+VOL_UP the one where you can choose "download" "fasboot" or "recovery") and i select recovery, it does not boot. The phone boots instead.
if i choose from the updater to reboot in recovery, same.
if i choose from flashify (which shows me "stock recovery" is installed), same.
if i use adb reboot recovery same.
i can only boot it using command fastboot boot recovery.img.
It just looks like the twrp flash says OKAY but it's not being flashed.
I've also tried cofface recovery with no success.
i've also tried official twrp app with no success.
everytime flash goes fine and successfully, but i'm unable to boot the phone in recovery itself.
i must always use fastboot boot recovery.img
Hints?
Hi @lalontra,
Use combination of Power+Vol(+)+Vol(-) button. It should boots you to recovery.
Regards.
Sent from my Redmi 3 using XDA Labs
It is error in this release ROM
You are not alone, its problem of this concrete ROM from 9.3.2017 ido.! You must flash different ROM, previous release.

Hi,
Did not work.
I have now reverted to 7.2.24 and TWRP from the TWRP from the phone is back. I think something is broken in 7.3.9 global weekly miui build.

The Volume+ and Volume- and Power worked for me even with the rom error. Hold all buttons til you see the Mi logo, then release Power but keep holding both of the Volume buttons. I also reflashed TWRP Recovery via Fastboot, so maybe that was it.
I'm also facing a problem around TWRP 3.0.2.
But different situation
I always failed/unable to boot into recovery or bootloader everytime I click reboot recovery or bootloader button in TWRP recovery mode.
I still try to find a way how to fix it. Because all the articles that I found always explain about "cannot enter to recovery mode from the system", not from the recovery mode itself.
Do you got anything from all the steps above? Please let me know if there something u can share. Thanks in advance
Here's what happened in my xiaomi redmi 3 pro. Always failed to boot into recovery again or into bootloader mode when I'm still in TWRP mode.
