can't upgrade to Twrp 3 - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I currently have twrp 2.8.7 installed, but I'm trying to upgrade to version 3 to support full disk encryption. I've tried flashing through fastbootz3c and it says it's successful, but when I boot into recovery it's still version 2.8. I tried upgrading through the app, but that failed as well. What am I doing wrong?

I don't have recovery as an option - only Kernel Image. Is it safe to choose this?

Do not do it. The phone hangs and you will have to reinstall the ROM.
I have made it

[Q] 3 ROMs & It's all rejected <solved>

I've asked before that I can't flash a ROM cyn 10.2 to my htc one with CWM recovery v6.0.3.1...
And they said I have to try another ROM and flash it from flash drive...
I did it for 2 other ROMs, but it still can't...
I use the ROM from this website wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/M7ul_Info (i still can't post hyperlink)
I've used the 2 kind of stable and 1 of the RC one, but they all said :
" Finding update package . . .
Opening update package . . .
Installing update . . .
set_perm : some changes failed
E : error in /external_sd/cm-10.2.0-RC1-m7ul.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted. "
Does anyone have an idea about this problem??

if you're going to flash a 4.4 ROM, you need latest unofficial TWRP 2.6.3.3+ from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
(don't use a download manager on that site, otherwise it will fail, and make sure to verify MD5)

If you hold down volume down and power together and keep them held down, the screen will eventually turn off. Let go of the buttons and then hold them again a second or two later till it turns on and you will be in bootloader mode.
It's done.
Thank you for all the guidance!
Now i can enjoy the new ROM.

2.6.3.4 is out if you wanna give it a shot. did you select wipe in Aroma?
I thought that I had used the latest twrp through GooManager. I wiped Dalvik and Cache. Where would I find Aroma? I rhought that the Rom I flashed would work on my Rogers device.

[Q] HTC One International stuck at "Htc" Boot screen

Brief history:
Htc One m7 Unlocked International version.
I was running ViperOne 6.2.1 with their stock kernel.
The ROM was giving me some issues listed below probably because of some xposed mudule that wasn't compatible.
I was using the following modules if it is relevant:
1. SwypeBack
2. YouTube AdAway
3. Instagram Downloader
4. CPUTemp in Status Bar
So I was facing some issues:
1. The Camera app wasn't working and showed me a black screen every time i launched it.
2. There were some menus that had white text on a white background which made it difficult for me to read.(This was because I checked the wrong option while installing a theme for the ViperOne from The Venom Hub).
3. Apps like clash of clans would start in landscape but only use half the screen..
So I decided that I would wipe the phone and install the Rom Again to make things fine.
This is what I did:
1. Get into TWRP 2.7.0.0
2. Wipe -> Factory Reset
3. Install -> ViperOne 6.2.1
4. Install -> AdAway hosts.zip
5. Wipe Cache/dalvik
6. Reboot
7. Everything was fine but the phone wasn't contacting google after i'd entered my id and password..(later I realized it was because my Wifi at home wasn't working..)
So I rebooted into the recovery again and did this:
1. Get into TWRP 2.7.0.0
2. Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> System, Data, Cache, Dalvik
3. Install -> ViperOne 6.2.1
4. Install -> AdAway hosts.zip
5. Wipe Cache/dalvik
6. Reboot
7. Prompted to install SuperSU because phone does not appear to be rooted, so I "Swipe to install SuperSU" and then for a second, I see the log that says "failed to write to System/bin" and then phone reboots.
8. Now the phone is stuck at the "HTC quitely brilliant" bootscreen.
The phone has a Bootloader version hboot 1.56 unlocked via HTCDEV.
I have the htc drivers installed on the pc, I have the android sdk installed to run fastboot commands or adb commands but I am afraid to do anything because I'm not sure what I should be doing right now.
Edit:
I read through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386084
Was able to get into the bootloader and got into recovery from there. Restored a nandroid backup from an earlier date. Stock HTC Rom.
Now, When i select Reboot System, the recovery says "your phone does not appear to be rooted, would you like to install SuperSU now?" and i select "DO not install" because I didn't want to get stuck again.
How do I regain root access now?
.
So I rebooted into the recovery again and did this:
1. Get into TWRP 2.7.0.0
2. Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> System, Data, Cache, Dalvik

You have wiped the system? it means there is no ROM on your device currently. Flash Viper again (if you have on the SD), if not use adb sideload function ADB sideload help from ARHD

I identified why I was stuck at bootloop. It was so simple I don't know how I missed that..
I was installing viperone 6.2.1.. the 6.2.1 was never released as a full Rom. It was a mini OTA update. So the phone didn't have a complete Rom I stalled..
Fixed by flashing viperone 6.2.0. That's what I was supposed to flash in the first place, I forgot that the 6.2.1 was a mini OTA and flashed that initially and freaked out when it didn't boot. XD

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
Can't find device listed in app
Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't find the device listed in the app to install the recovery.
I ran CF-auto, then rebooted and installed the TWRP app and busybox, granted permissions, but I don't see the device listed. Did I do something wrong?
I checked for "Nexus 6", "Shamu", and "Motorola Nexus" and couldn't find anything. Sorry if this is a noob question and I'm missing something easy.
Its possible that the app hasn't been updated to include shamu. Just download it from their website and manually flash it via bootloader mode. But then again I see the app has been updated, follow the instructions
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/270
Edit: Someone in the thread confirmed its not in the app yet. Manually fastboot flash it.
Done!
Thanks for the speedy reply!

I'm flashing twrp with fastboot, but the recovery will not stick. I'm not rooted. I flash tarp recovery, reboot the boot loader, go into twrp recovery, select reboot system. When I try to get into recovery again, I just get the stock recovery. Any help? If I rename tarp recovery to recovery.IMG and flash it will this perhaps eliminate this backup recovery.img I'm having a problem with?
Solution: in /system rename the file recovery-from-boot.p to something else. This will allow the recovery to stick. I flashed twrp. Within TWRP I used twrp options to: mount the system then used twrps file manager to rename the file.

This is not true. I unlocked bootloader, rooted, and flashed TWRP on Thanksgiving day. The TWRP image that I downloaded from their site is most definitely 2.8.2.1, and is for Shamu.
And it works just fine for me. Wiping, flashing, etc.

I am also having issues with flashing ROMs. I am able to backup/restore with no issues. I was barely able to get Euphoria-OS installed (home screen wasn't setup correctly after first boot). I am going to reflash back to stock and start over again. Is there anyone else with this issue? I do have the 64gb T-mo variant.
Is anyone else having an issue with the vibration? I flashed the most current build and I can't disable it. There should be 3 sliders in the menu but I only have 2 and the one to disable vibration is gone and it just says "80". I would really appreciate any help with this
I also tried flashing other builds for shamu with the same issue.
Nexus 6 Can someone help please! I'm trying to restore backup and its restoring but it stuck restoring @962 [email protected] data part. Its been stuck on that stage for awhile now
I'm not sure what happened either. I installed the 2.8.2.0 image, but ended up with 2.8.2.1. Flashed back to stock recovery, reinstalled twrp 2.8.2.0, and again it's 2.8.2.1.. It hangs forever when flashing roms.. I would love a flashable 2.8.2.0 zip.

So I tried to update with the twrp app and got a notification that instructed me to double check that the correct partition path is "dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery".
I looked through es browser and found that file, but wanted to double check that I won't ruin anything my continuing.

how to update TWRP if stock on bootloop
my situation:
nexus 5
(android 4.4.2)
rooted
encrypted (i have set a pattern to unlock)
TWRP 2.6.3.4.
Xposed module (not sure which version or if it is relevant at all)
suddenly, while i was surfing the twitter app, the phone restarted and attempted to install an update (not sure if it was 4.4.3 or 5.0).
The phone went into bootloop. I held the power button and volume down and this took me into bootloader. from there i started TWRP. I was greeted with "please enter your password". I entered my pattern following the below arrangement
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
after several attempts which always ended with "Password failed. Please try again" i hit "cancel". This took me to the main TWRP screen. I hit "mount" to find the following..
"Select Partition to Mount:"
[ ] System
[ ] Cache
[ ] Persist
[ ] firmware
[ ] USB-OTG
below them there is a line that says "Storage: Internal Storage (0 MB)"
below that it says "Decrypt Data". If i touch it, it asks to enter my password. Again, i enter my password and it says password failed.
The log has this:
Updating Partition details...
E:Unable to mount ' /cache'
E:Unable to mount ' /persist'
E:Unable to mount storage
E:Unable to mount ' /cache'
E:Unable to mount ' /cache'
E:Failed to decrypt data.
IMHO, i think that i need to have TWRP 2.8.2.0 at least in order to decrypt my data as previous versions don't support decryption and/or pattern passwords. Am i right?
if so, how can i update TWRP to the latest version ? can it be updated from within TWRP itself ?

In my haste to unlock and root, i did the same thing when I got my shamu back in December. After you unlock, you have to boot into android once, "fastboot reboot", then go back to the bootloader and fastboot flash recovery. There might be an easier way, but I just downloaded and flashed the factory images to correct my derp.

Accidently selected read only in TWRP how do I undo it???

So I was following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684 and when it came to the step to allow modification in twrp I had already goofed up and kept it read only. How do I change this. I cannot find the setting anywhere in twrp???

Could you please be more specific about how you got the option to reappear. I have the exact same issue. Thanks
Not sure if this will fix it or not... but I did the same thing when I first loaded twrp, I didnt allow system mods (or whatever it said) but in recovery if you go to Mount... theres a selection "Mount system partition read-only" that had a check and I unchecked it.
I am only assuming this corrects that issue... hopefully someone can come along and confirm.

I can confirm that unchecking that option solves this. I tried to flash a ROM update once and it gave me an error saying my system partition was read only, and after unchecking that option it flashed correctly.
The reason for having to run adb flash recovery.img (the TWRP custom recovery) is because you chose the read-only mode introduced in v2.8.7.0 of TWRP. It means that the stock recovery will overwrite it if you reboot without selecting keep modifications on that first screen. Tapping on the Keep Read Only button will keep it temporary, but swiping the blue arrows to the right (like I did in the video), will install TWRP permanently.

It will overwrite TWRP if you have the developer option checkmark to use CM Recovery. Go into Settings/Developer Options and UNcheck that box.

Either
how you flashed in the first place, probably fastboot via PC?
or if it's still in your download folder, go to TWRP "install" and check install "image". Flash it TWRP (reinstall) from there, boot to bootloader and then go back to "recovery".
I use the 2nd method all the time to update to newer versions of TWRP.

yes, sorry for the wrong model
Ran into the same problem.
Made my device read only at the start up of TWRP by mistake.
Then I followed the advice by unticking the "mount system partition read only" option.
That's when the menu with the question came up again.
I swiped to the right to allow system modifications.
Rebooted into my phone.
Everything working fine phonewise.
Rebooted into bootloader.
Selected recovery.
Stock Recovery appears. :/
Any idea why stock recovery is returning despite having swiped right for allowing modifications on TWRP?

Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot:
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
You should now see TWRP recovery.

All unofficial versions have reboot bug. And as far as I new - you managed to fix it!
only problem when reboot from xposed power menu mod (wanam, apm+, etc). Need to flash again via odin and uninstall the module.

OK, I'll try to disable wanam's power menu and flash TWRP. I'll write the result. ...
I disabled wanam's power menu, flashed TWRP 3.0.0 without autoreboot ticked and rebooted into recovery.
Then I set time settings in TWRP and started backup. Backup completed...
Reboot from TWRP (Reboot System) - Reboot normal !!!
I will watch its behavour ... and perhaps the problem is solved.

So Far So Good.
Good job Mr. @ashyx , I've tested this recovery and two problems fixed out of three.
SEANDROID Error: Fixed.
Recovery reboot : Didn't fixed
EFS, APNHLOS etc... partitions Backup : Fixed
I reverted back to 2.8.7.0 recovery until recovery reboot get fixed.

You need to be sure it's a problem with the recovery. Power off your device and boot to system normally.
Using a terminal emulator type:
su
reboot recovery
Do you still get a recovery loop?
recovery reboot problem.

Here is what I did:
I flashed the recovery via flashify.
I rebooted the device normally.
After the phone restarts, it shows the Yellow colored warning Set warrenty bit: recovery.
The device boots into TWRP recovery mode.
After that I press reboot -> system.
After restart, it goes back to step 3.
Thank you.
That seems like you have flashed the boot partition with the recovery.img.
Please don't flash with Flashify. You cannot trust that it is flashing correctly.
Use the recovery image flash option in TWRP itself or use ODIN.

If we reboot directly to recovery, i mean through wannam xpossed power menu, recovery reboot issue occurs.. Pls fix this too..
Otherwise all are perfect
the error still exists.

I used the flash option in TWRP but it still reboots into recovery.
I posted a recovery log maybe it'll help you fix the problem.
by the way, can you tell me which baseband,pda,csc you're using?
my software might be a little old?
Thanks.
