That's what this thread is about. You can unlock your bootloader on the Sony webpage.
After that, you tell the OP that you want to test their TWRP release.
I´d like to test it, but installation/test requires root, does it not?
I have unlocked BL, but i still have no rooting method

This has not firmware version, it is a TWRP recovery ...
Ok perfect. Thanks.
I'm new to modding Sony phones. There is a thread with the xperifix talking about downloading according to the correct firmware version so I just wanted to cover my ass, just in case.
You're right, there's something with the backup encryption depending on the firmware version.
So what does that mean for me in this case?
how do i access TWRP after i flashed it? i have the bootloader unlocked and i flashed TWRP but when i'm connected through adb and i run "adb reboot recovery" nothing happens except the phone reboots as normal and i'm not sure of the hardware button combo to boot into recovery. I'm thinking it's power+vol up but when i do that the phone just vibrates once then three times and does nothing, not even boot normally.
Can you help please?

Never mind, i figured out the button combo. It's power+vol down when the phone vibrates once release power and hold onto the vol down button
---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------
OP, so here's the scoop. Every time i boot into recovery it asks for the password to decrypt, i don't know what that might be so i click cancel. Also i went into WIPE and i formatted DATA and typed YES and it did it's thing and i had to set up the phone again as expected however when i get back into the OS and check the security section of settings, it says it's still encrypted.
I'd like to flash supersu 2.82 but because it's encrypted i can't find the folder i placed it into and i don't have an SD card handy to place it on that to install. And besides i wanna get rid of the encryption anyway so we need to figure that out asap please.
Is there any kind of default password that i can use when entering TWRP to decrypt the data? And how can we remove encryption from the phone correctly with TWRP?
Thanks

Rebooting to recovery with adb is broken in the Sony Kernel. I've fixed that already for LineageOS.

The password is the PIN of your device.

The phone uses File Based Encryption and is normally always encrypted. If you don't set a PIN the password is set to "default_password". If you set a PIN the key to unlock FBE is encrypted using your PIN.

I think for SuperSU you need a special Xperia version they offer here on XDA ...
Thanks for the quick reply. Do you have a working version of lineage for the Xperia XZ1?

2.82 doesn't work for Xperia users. I believe 2.79 is still recommend by chainfire for us. I'm about to flash it right now. I'll report back with the result in a few minutes. If you don't hear from me.... Something drastic went wrong! Fingers crossed.
---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------
Ok so I got exactly the same result as pergoteborg. I'm gonna do a little research because I think I read something about the "no unzip" in another thread.
So i followed a few steps from another thread to create a symlink to unzip and was able to successfully flash supersu 2.79 however when i reboot into the OS there is no Supersu installed and when i run root checker it fails saying there is no root, also the official Supersu app from the app store says "Root undetected".
The steps i followed to create the symlink are as follows:
1. Boot to twrp.
and now comes the trick
2. Connect your device to a pc and adb push the attached busybox to sbin (took it from twrp from another arm64 device cannot remember which).
adb push pathtobusybox\busybox /sbin/ (replace pathtobusybox with the loacation of the unziped busybox for example C:\ )
3. Open adb shell
adb shell
4. Give busybox the required rights
chmod 750 /sbin/busybox
5. Create unzip symlink
ln -s /sbin/busybox /sbin/unzip

Under such situation, you have to unlock the bootloader, but you have to be aware you will lose DRM keys.

First, on your computer download the DooMKernel from here and the SuperSU package from here.
Save these files on desktop and transfer the SuperSU zip on your Xperia Z Ultra (first connect your smartphone with your PC via USB cable; when done, unplug the USB connection).
Unzip the DooMKernel package on your computer.
Now, connect your smartphone with your PC one more.
Navigate towards the .img folder (where you have unzipped the DooMKernel file).
From there open a command prompt window: press and hold Shift keyboard key while right clicking on any blank space.
In the cmd window type
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
or
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
in order to reach fastboot mode on your handset.
Now, reboot your Xperia Z Ultra into TWRP recovery (once more, you don’t have to previously install a custom recovery image on your phone) by typing into cmd :
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
Good; then from TWRP recovery load and install the SuperSU zip file and then do the “Swipe to confirm flashing” action in order to resume the root process.
When done, from main menu of recovery select “reboot system now”.
Do note that if you will get stuck into a boot loop, you need to go back to recovery from where you should select “wipe data factory reset” and “wipe cache partition”.

You can use one of the many root programs and inject the towel root exploit.
I've owned, destroyed this phone about 5x I just recently got a new one about 2 weeks ago. So I've tried everything on the ultra. All he has to do is flash a stock ftf which doesn't require recovery.

They say it's easy but I'm going on 2 months. Still no root. Well I have Chinese crappie root. Dude I still have no clue and I have a new phone that came with 4.3 jellybean. And I was told that's the easiest firmware to root.

Dude like the above garble, its greek to him as is me. How do you flash a zip with no root and no recovery?
Hi! I have an LG G5 h850 and I've flashed this ROM (a full flashable zip of Android Nougat 7.0 stock). The problem is I can't seem to root my phone.
If I flash any SuperSU zip with TWRP 3.1.0.0, the phone won't be able to boot afterwards (it will get stuck at the LG logo).
I've iunlocked my bootloader using the official procedure (fastboot getvar unlocked returns "yes") and I've also flashed no verity opt encrypt 5.1 after wiping data: my TWRP can access internal storage.
What am I missing? Is there a specific SuperSU zip which works on a Nougat h850? Has the problem got something to do with dm-verity?
I have an LG G5 H850 with TWRP 3.1.0..0 and SuperSU 2.65 installed. I did not install the no-verity and my phone is operating normally. Just need a way to get rid of the "your phone is unlocked" screen on boot up.

That's astounding. Do you remember the procedure you followed? Is the ROM the same I used (LG-H85020A-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip)? Is the precise SuperSU version UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550?
Patching sepolicy failure
I've proceeded to reinstall N and SuperSU 2.65 and I see the following message:
Code:
- Patching sepolicy
--- Failure, aborting
Given Android N requires systemless mode, hence boot image patching, could this be the cause? What should I do?

I see... I couldn't update OTA because when it had to install the downloaded update it just rebooted to TWRP.
Anyway, after getting that error message, I flashed a newer version of SuperSU. It patched sepolicy successfully and even booted (I don't know what I did different than other times). Anyway, it prompted me with an "Enter password to unlock message", with some attempts already out (23/30).
Could it be because I have decrypted data partition? I read the decryption and root access are mutually exclusive. I decripted just because, after the 30th failed boot attempt, I tried it just to change something and see if it worked.
If I have to choose between the two, I'll choose root access. How do I restore encryption?
Sorry, have no idea, I don't use encryption.

I mean the default setup of the G5, whereas TWRP can't access internal storage and will ask you for a password upon starting, to which you have to hit "cancel".
When I hit cancel in TWRP in answer to the password I then swipe below to allow modifications. At least that is what I am offered on the swipe window.
Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk
Yeah, that is indeed the default behaviour. However, at some point I've flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt zip. This removes the encryption. TWRP doesn't have to ask you for a password you do not know, and can thus modify /data partition. This, however, prevents you from rooting your device. And, apparently, prevents me from booting my phone right now. Is there any way to revert the effects of no-verity-opt-encrypt?
I am sorry, I am not even remotely akin to a developer, I only follow their instructions so am not aware if it is possible to revert the no- verity effects. The only suggestion I can come up with is to do a factory reset backbto stock Nougat and then redo the installation of TWRP etc omitting "no-verity" option. But I would check with someone like Autoprime first to see if this will work and not create more problems. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Solved one: I unbricked my phone. Followed this excellent guide from by dksoni411. I thank him with all my heart, as well as AutoPrime, Hyelton, bullghost and anyone else who contributed.
Solved two: I finally managed to root my h850. Don't know what I did different from the other dozen times I tried. From stock Nougat 7.0 I rebooted to fastboot mode via adb, flashed TWRP in fastboot, booted into recovery without allowing normal boot to happen before it, flashed SuperSU (v2.79-20161211114519), didn't wipe cache or dalvik, and rebooted. Upon boot, phone reset once and then booted straight into Nougat, with SuperSU apk installed. Yay!

Hello everyone. I started this thread because I don't think I've seen anything with this issue on my specific phone on this forum. Apologies if this has been discussed before.
Anyway, I'm having issues installing a ROM with adb sideload on TWRP recovery.
I got the ROM and the recovery image from blox2.com (I would post the links but apparently the forum doesn't allow me to...)
Everything works fine, I'm able to boot into TWRP recovery and inititiate the adb sideload, but the process gets stuck when it reaches 28% and throws the error message:
serving: 'BLOX2core-v1.1.1-31217.zip' (~28%) * failed to read command: Success

In case this has anything to do with ADB version, I'm using Debian and my adb version is 1:7.0.0+r1-4

Ok, an update.
I now tried installing the ROM through TWRP's own installing option, but TWRP crashes and reboots a couple of seconds after the install is initiated.

I'm would assume the bootloader was unlocked? Are you able to make a nandroid backup? And have you tried flashing twrp to the phone ?
Where do you have the files located at? Is it on the SDcard or on the flash drive?
does this work?
fastboot oem unlock
or
fastboot flashing unlock
Should also erase/wipe everything except system/recovery/boot...
Also hope you made a nandroid backup first with the fastboot boot recovery.img, then booting into TWRP and backup. to flash drive. Need MTP disabled for some to not reboot.
Also try with the new TWRP where the reboot has been fixed.. and which version 16/2 or 64/4 BLU X2 or mini?

I haven't tried flashing TWRP to the phone. Would this make it work? I'm kind of scared of having a recovery image that crashes whenever I try stuff. Can I restore the stock recovery in case anything happens?

I can't find BLU Life One X2 on the official TWRP website, the only version I tried was on blox2.com, which I think is a modified version of 3.0.2-0.
Problem fixed!
I flashed the stock firmware using QFIL 1.0.2. Thanks so much to everyone who helped!
QFIL
I got the QFIL rom from blox2.com
When you say fixed, do you mean TWRP is now working? Or that you were able to flash the stock back? Did you already take the BLOX2 OTA update?
Trying to figure out if the update had anything to do with this default rebooting on /system being made writable.. Also did you make a nandroid backup?
QFIL is now on 1.0.0.3

Trying to figure out if the update had anything to do with this default rebooting on /system being made writable.. Also did you make a nandroid backup?
QFIL is now on 1.0.0.3

I was able to flash the stock back, but via QFIL, not TWRP. The rebooting issue still persists.
I didn't make a nandroip backup, will get to it now.
Oh, I'm actually now trying to fix the rebooting issue. I think it might be a write protection, like the one HTC has. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV3YaMBnEYI
I really really need to be able to modify the system partition because the phone comes with a lot of crawpare and even some malware (https://www.cyberscoop.com/android-malware-china-huawei-zte-kryptowire-blu-products/)
FotaProvider installs some apps without your consent like Uber and some games and supposedly sends some info, too.
When I try to remove it with root uninstallers, the phone reboots. I though I had gotten rid of this issue by reflashing the ROM but apparently not...
I only flashed TWRP to cache and booted to it and flashed super SU, then used root essentials to remove some of the bloatware. But noticed supersu was gone now. It was able to remove or disable some of the stuff without rebooting and then later manually rebooting it. I disabled the apps and then removed it, so I think even the update now has the stuff but still disabled. The update also supposedly removes one of the apps that sent data back.
It rebooted at first until I saw that I had to disable MTP in TWRP options. I have not tried the recent TWRP, I was still using the one under development in the beginning.

For the time being you need to boot into TWRP and manually remove apps using ADB. We are currently working on patching the kernel to allow /system to be mounted RW sAo that you can use apps to remove system apps. In the mean time use Blox2core as it has been fully debloated.

Sounds great! Looking forward to it.
I can't install Blox2core since TWRP reboots when I try to install it or even wipe the /system partition though. Some people mentioned TWRP 3.0.3 fixed this issue.

We have a new tool that you can use to flash TWRP and root. All auto matic. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
[TOOL]Draco’s Blox2Autoroot - http://wp.me/p8gYUZ-5x
Afterwards you'll be able to flash Blox2core
Also I was unaware of this TWRP 3.0.3 for the blox2. The only one that has been ported has been 3.0.2 last I checked.
I would say disable MTP in TWRP options and developer options as well. dirst disabled it in developer options before I found out that did not stop the kernel rebooting the phone when /system became writable. I had not installed the oct update BLU sent out and maybe that makes a difference? Although the QFIL should also have the original boot/kernal image? so not sure what is going on..
If that dont stop it we need a new kernal.. I think I have the original kernal/boot saved. If anyone wants to see if that fixed the reboot.
twrp gave a MD5 of it..

The OTA update showed up one day and it installed it.. For the longest time I ignored it but I suppose someone hit ok on it.. But SuperSU seemed to have vanished before that I think. Spending time on 2 other problem phones so this one is not a priority since it works very well comparatively. I love it though it is heavy as a brick. Even my N5x case fits with a little coaxing. Although the DPI setting is set much higher like for a HD screen and not FHD. Maybe we can change it in build.prop to fix it. The N5x has much smaller icons and letters and actually fit 5 icons to a row although they both have the same density screen.. BLU has much better touch though and is far brighter and richer.

The 2 boot images ARE different.. But you should first try to write a backup back to itself and see if there are problems and guess I dont have the previlage of attaching files just yet on here.

Hey guys!
I have created a TWRP flashable zip of latest Stock MM Rom for G4c.
ONLY FOR H525N
FIX FOR c90n -> c90
Requirements:
(1) Unlocked Bootloader
(2) TWRP
Steps:
(1) Download the ZIP here.
(2) Copy it to your phone.
(3) Reboot into TWRP.
(4) Wipe > Advanced Wipe. Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Cache. Swipe to Wipe.
(5) Select "Install". Select the zip file you downloaded in the first step.
(6) Swipe to flash. Wait for it to flash. It might take some time. Wipe Dalvik/Cache after you flash to avoid bootloops.
(7) Select Reboot.
You have successfully flashed MM!
If you want root, download SuperSu Flashable Zip. Reboot into TWRP. Select the SuperSu flashable zip. You have successfully rooted!
I will keep updating the ZIP as and when LG releases a new ROM or patch.
Hold on guys. Don't flash it for now, we need to modify the file. Update will come soon.

Yep guy. You can root with supersu and it survives reboot.
First, unlock your phone by flashing the aboot (it works fine now, but only if you are under lollipop n10f).
This kdz works fine, to flash with LGUp
https://lg-firmwares.com/download-file/?fileId=3354
Then install TWRP from the official thread.
You know what? I'm going to make it. I need to be on v10f to unlock bootloader and install twrp?

Lol, I was editing my answer. See above.
Once you have TWRP installed, you can flash the MM zip and supersu.
The rom works pretty smoothly once debloated.
Just one thing, this MM zip has a MM specific patched aboot and TWRP.
Indeed, on our phone, the LP and MM structures are completely different. So the LP patched aboot does not work on MM.
For TWRP, under LP, the phone is named c90n and in MM, it's c90. So it changes this.

I just want to tell you that, thanks to you, I have been able to resuscitate my device. My LG G4c has the bootloader unlocked, it is rooted and it runs with MM. Thanks to all and, especially, to @ahmed.al, for guiding me, to @Anghirrim, for his good indications, and to @pvineeth97, for his magnificent work.
Thank you very much.

I'm about to flash a G4c in the next few days, at the moment I'm reading through the topics to do things right.
There are only some things that make me unsure of the process. One of it ist mentionend above by user @Dr4In. Maybe @Anghirrim or @pvineeth97 can say something about this problem?
The problem is also described here in the last post:

Personally i didnt find any fix for the notification red led which was 24/24 open so i went back to stock rom, the only advice i can give you is, if you install LOS make sure not to do Factory Reset from the settings, because after that the phone only booting to TWRP and if you install the rom from TWRP it wont boot its just booting into the TWRP, the only way to brake this loop is by flashing stock rom with LGUP.
In the link you mention it was my mistake about LGUP and i figure it out later.

The led problem have been solved at least in AEX. Don't remember for LOS 14.1.
There is a turnaround as well in order to completely disable the led. I can find it back.

What model? The h830 blocks all fastboot commands except bootloader unlock related ones.
Didn't read the title I guess.
Do you think that if i flash it to 7.0 i can flash twrp or something or a lgup flash that has twrp on it ?

You could but I think it would be easier to fix the fastboot problem. Have you tried a different pc? I have adb and fastboot installed on my phones so if you have an otg adapter that works to pinpoint the problem to the phone or pc.

I'll try that tommorow when I have time maybe your right adb was running kinda freaky on my pc. I spent about an hour trying to make it detect adb devices because it gave me an error and even after it worked it was giving errors from time to time.
Update : I uninstalled everything adb related and installed it again flashed latest recovery but can't enter with fastboot boot twrp.img also tried entering recovery manually but i can't seem to get it right the phone just boots normally i tried holding pw and vol down doesn't work then i tried again but with a 1 sec pw button release and press again still nothing ... A guide that i saw lgup's the device to 6.0 but even if i do drop it to 6.0 how can i get stock 8.0 without losing my recovery ?
