[SHARED] Xperia 5 II Twrp - Sony Xperia 5 II Guides, News, & Discussion

https://mega.nz/folder/spBwXZoL#D1Wf8xLl1WacstfVnLnKhA

Any chance of some info on how to install?
TYIA.

what is this

Can you give a bit more details where you got this? Did you compile it? Was it pulled from another sony device? Do you have a github link?

Once again @M-Rom ! First TWRP for the Xperia 2019 Flagships and now the 2020 Series...
Same as for the Xperia 1 II:
-Download and extract the ZIP File to Your fastboot Location and rename it to recovery.img (for ease use)
-Use:
fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery_b recovery.img
-Disconnect Your Device from USB and wait for it to turn off
-Press and hold VolumeDOWN & the Power Button together until You see the TWRP Logo (or use the reboot recovery option)

-Press and hold VolumeDOWN together with the Power Button
-TWRP should Start (in Chinese again!? lol)
Happy testing!
You can join My Discord Server if You need help with that... Ask Jayram which has successfully booted and used TWRP on his Xperia 5 II

Tried these steps and it worked perfectly, it is in chinese by default.

Updated My Instructions since 2020 Xperia Devices have a seperated recovery partition against the boot image/ramdisk ones on the older Devices. That's a huge win for Android Devices! Happy flashing Dear MARK II Users!

This installs successfuly, but it's kind of useless with the storage encryption. I tried wiping, but after restarting the device it becomes encrypted again. You need to change the language every time too. Is there any way to keep the internal storage decrypted? like the disabler .zip for samsung devices?

Doesn't TWRP support decrypting? On my previous devices it wasn't a problem, I never had an urge to decrypt the device.

Different TWRPs support different features. To get this one to support decrypting it will have to be worked on by the dev.

Unfortunately the internal storage decryption is broken since the December security patch update (58.0.A.28.51)...

I recently got a 5 ii, currently on 58.0.A.10.3 and received 58 0.A.28.51 update notification. Should I not update if I want root?

You can still update if you want root via Magisk, but you will need to patch the boot img instead of flashing the Magisk zip in TWRP.

That would be soooo great to get TWRP or OrangeFox for Xperia 5 ii turning on Android 12!

Yeah I'm being serious, we have it in private testing currently

Can somebody please confirm both recoveries (twrp / orangefox) currently available for (x5ii / pdx206 / XQ-AS52) only work on android 11 or prior? I tried both and they bootloop.

Honor_7lite_5C_NEM-L21_hw_eu_EMUI_5.0_beta

Hello Honor 5c/7lite users. I want to give you a beta of Emui 5.0. If you want to install it, you need use TWRP recovery. I used TWRP from Meticulus https://mega.nz/#!cEs2mRZY!aNlPFCfDhdlARPYBk8zjkSVh8nxPTrlu_zRYftVPM3c First step: make full wipe. Second step: first install update.zip second install update_data_full_NEM-L21_hw_eu.zip . After install wipe cache/dalvik. Third step: Reboot your device. Wait few minutes before first login.
DOWNLOAD
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4mZWY85qqxzRmVtWkVGMDBIYTg
For now, everything looks OK. Works normal, without any problems.
Before flashing I used EMUI 4.1 so I don`t know how it is if you want to migrate from LineageOS 14.1 or Cyanogenmode 13.1 In my opinion full wipe and format Dalvik / ART Cache", "Cache", "Data", "Internal Storage" i "System" should be enough.

Thanks! I'm on NMO-L31 (aka huawei GT3). I'm undecided if try this or meticulus Lineage 14.1.
Ps. Installed Emui 5.0, and everything work well: camera, fingerprint, etc. I'm looking for a root/twrp method now
Ps1. I managed to root Huawei GT3:
-reboot to bootloader via adb
-flashed "RevolutionRecovery_Nougat_P9Lite_B.9_15-12-16" through fastboot;
-reboot to recovery via adb
-mount system and vendor
-flash "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0"
-Reboot
-Install supersu via google play, and then busybox (I've used that by meefik developer on google play)
Please try at your own risk; I can post some photos.

EMUI install
Hey everyone.
Is there any way to install this like normal firmware? For example:
1) To put on a SD card the dload folder with UPDATE.APP the file inside,
2) In project menu (to collect *#*#2846579#*# *), to select Software Upgrade -> SDCard Upgrade
(complete installation, all user data remain)
I don't wanna lose my warranty but I would like to try EMUI 5

dload method won't work, since u need to flash a zip file. Twrp is needed for that, as well as unlocked bootloader.

You can always relock bootloader. And when you install official release of Nougat after it will come out it will relock bootloader automatically.

Tried placing dload on MicroSD card and hold three buttons together to flash the rom. Nothing happens
Tried to get into recovery by holding volume + and power button (No recovery)
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank You

U were on which rom?

[Recovery][BKL][EMUI 8.x only][Unofficial]TWRP 3.2.1-0 [14/04/2018]

Disclaimer​This software comes wth no warranty,XDA staff ,myself or TeamWin stuff can't be hold responsible for any damage it may cause to your device.
Note: Currently Oreo 8.1 custom roms are supported only on BKL-L04 with EMUI 8.1
Download and Installation​
* Download twrp recovery
* Start your device in fastboot mode
* Install the recovery using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk [name of the file].img --> ex: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_blanc_0.1.img
* Restart with this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
* As soon as you execute the restart command,remove the USB cable and keep pressing Volume UP,so the device will boot to TWRP.This is to avoid that the device boot to OS,overwritting TWRP recovery.
Features​
Internal storage decryption = working
MTP and OTG connection = working
Backup&Restore = working
Note: There are no sources for this yet,because is based on the work of @zxz0O0 ,from Honor 9 forum.
Credits
**** @zxz0O0 - This wouldn't be possible without this guy,so big big thank to him.I used his base to make this recovery work ,so in sign of respect his nick will also be on the TWRP boot screen.Thank again buddy!
**** TeamWin project ,obviously.
Download links
twrp_blanc_0.1.img - initial test release
twrp_bkl_0.2.img - OEMinfo partition is available for backup
twrp_bkl_0.3.img - /cache mounting is fixed,backup /vendor as image (vendor still can't be mounted)
twrp_bkl_0.4.img - /vendor mounting/unmounting is now fixed (thx @ante0 for the script)
twrp_bkl_0.5.img - mounting/unmounting issues shound be fixed , added a new option to exclude OEM path from wiping with Factory Reset and can be enabled/disabled in settings (thx Team OpenKirin for this), this version will work even with newer updates that bump security patch version.
twrp_bkl_0.6.img - Cache wiping issue is now fixed
twrp_bkl_0.7.img - fixed decryption on EMUI 8.1 (now you can use the same password/pin/pattern to decrypt in TWRP), /recovery_ramdisk no longer available for backup./vendor no longer available for backup (use /vendor_image instead),/system and /data can be unmounting issue with 8.1 devices is now fixed.

Hey mate nice to see you here
Nice job with the recovery! I've been handed out an US View 10 a couple weeks ago (with Android 8.1 pre-release stuff), I'll test it out for you.
twrp-3.2.1-0-berkeley.img didn't boot on BKL-L04 (dark screen and reboot), but Ethan made some changes and twrp-3.2.1-1-berkeley.img does work fine.
I've been told that some selinux changes were needed to boot 8.1 stuff, some critical service that fails to run because it can't find the right policy, something related to recovery_vendor partition that runs it.
It will work in 8.0 setups also just fine.
I'll let you know how it goes :fingers-crossed:
Hope we get 8.1 kernel sources soon so I blu_spark this blue beauty

Zenfone 3 zoom TWRP

Since there's no thread about it yet (in here then), I'll just make this one so that there won't be any more confusion for TWRP links.
Do keep in mind that if you use the official bootloader unlock method, you won't receive OTA updates anymore from Asus.
Have a great day and happy flashing

Did you upgrade your system to Oreo? If so, did you have substratum themes on?
I wonder when he opens the twrp he asks for the PIN number , password or something?

TWRP for Android 9 Pie?

My phone just got the android 9 update, I already had installed root with twrp on my device with android 8.0
So when I tried to re-root my phone I needed to reinstall the TWRP but it couldn't decrypt the data
I tried all of the posible solutions to this but nothing
I think that is the TWRP version that can't decrypt data in android 9.0
But in the web isn't any version that support the Mi 8 LIte with Android 9.0
Do I need to wait until someone update the TWRP version or what can I do?
Thanks in advance

You are upgrading now; for this you need to decrypt it for first time and probably every time that you switch from a miui to an AOSP rom. Be sure that your data partition is mounted and I guess you can´t see the files under TWRP. Try first with this zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
Stock Miui re-encrypt data on first boot after factory reset, so you need to flash Universal DM-Verity
I also need TWRP for pie.

Would you happen to know if opengapps aroma works with this recovery. I have tried 3 or 4 other revoveries and once options are selected and install starts recovery reboots. After that I have to hold power to force reboot because no matter what reboot option I choose it just goes back to recovery.

Unfortunately I can't tell you for sure cause left 3 days to unlock my bootloader but I used this recovery in two Xiaomi devices (R5Plus and Mi Max) and was the best I ever tried, never had issue flashing Aroma zips.
Be sure that once finished the installation Reboot box in Aroma be unticked

Never had an issue with redmi note 4x and aroma either. The reboot box does not make a difference because the install never happens. I will download and try.

If you are using the wzsx150 3.2.3 twrp found under the ROM/recovery section, versions 0121 and 0212 are both supposed to be for Android 9. I haven't tried myself though, as I am still on 8.
I can confirm version 0212 does indeed decrypt data partition, making it mountable it inside TWRP. Of course phone's now running on official Android 9 MIUI 10, updated on Wednesday.
So heads up for anyone trying to use open gapps aroma installer. No recovery will install it. Tried batik, orange fox, perp, and wzsx150 twrp and all do the same. After all the selections when the actual installation starts the device reboots (installs nothing but does save setting options) back to recovery. All reboot options (system, fastboot, etc) all reboot back to recovery only holding power button will allow device to boot into system.

I am using wzsx150 3.2.3-1003 and it does not decrypt data, even with proper password.. Where can I find 0212. I cannot find it in this forum. ..only the bad one I am using.
EDIT: Nevermind. Found it.

Any idea why is 0212 half the size of 0121, and the others for that matter (28MB vs 60MB).
I believe it's somehow compressed. If you open these files with something like 7zip you'll see the size is very close between the two.

TWRP: Porting for a/b partitioned devices

Please has anyone been able to port TWRP recovery for an a/b partitioned device, I mean devices that contains the recovery ramdisk in the boot.img and doesn't have a separate recovery partition.
Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "port"?
TWRP is supported on multiple A/B devices such as the Google Pixel. However, TWRP does not support the compression necessary to replace the stock recovery in the boot image, so TWRP may only be used "live", where the TWRP image is booted via command, instead of being flashed to /boot.

By porting I mean changing some files, like copying the kernel and other device specific files to a prebuilt TWRP boot image for a related device.
For example I was able to do that for my android 8 based device and it worked flawlessly, but my problem is that I don't know how to do that for a/b partitioned devices cause my device is not officially supported and i can't seem to find any unofficial version for my device, plus my phone's kernel source and device are not published on GitHub or anywhere.
But some devices specially some Mediatek and Unisoc based devices don't support live boot and so it's necessary two flash it to the boot partition.
Finally built twrp for this device after so many attempts, here is the file for those that owns this device too.
NOTE: This file is for KG5j variant not KG5k or any other variant

You can use the updated version with crypto support and automatic data partition decryption.

After flashing run fastboot reboot, it will reboot directly to TWRP recovery enter your lock screen password to unecrypt data, then click on advanced install recovery ramdisk and select the twrp.img you downloaded or click on advanced then install current TWRP and let the recovery do the rest.
Check it out on hovatek forum
