Flashing Issue in TWRP - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all: Hi guys!
I've got a Problem, when trying to flash SuperSU in TWRP it says "Failure, aborting" at "Extracting ramdisk".
I already searched the web, but can't seem to find anything to help me.
I hope someone has a solution to this.

This is not a twrp problem and I guess you are running stock rom.
It fails to extract ramdisk because sony uses a different format for kernel images and so SuperSu cannot be installed systemless.
You will need to find a system SuperSU zip

Root Checker says "got root"
Titanium Backup works

thanks for your help
you need to flash the unencrypted img before flashing Despair. and fwiw the order i use is: unencrypted img, then the kernel, then SU

try a different radio until you find one that you like, they all work.
and you do not have to flash an unencrypted boot.img before flashing despair.

Thanks, I decided to use a JDX rom instead. That one was pretty much stock but pre-rooted...

[LG-H901] Stock ROM, Rooted, with Busybox

Thanks to Mikeyinid and TheJesus for providing the stock img files and flashable recovery zip. I used them more than once on my own device, and got frustrated at having to re-root it every time. To speed things up I decided to create a pre-rooted zip with busybox installed.
Feel free to use it as you see fit. If you format /system before you install this TWRP will warn you that there is no OS installed, but it's wrong, it will boot.

Flash this via TWRP, no wipe should be needed, but it can't hurt.
Forgive the stupid question, but this isn't a flashable stock ROM is it? New to LG so I'm not wanting to jack my phone up stupid.

No problem, it is flashable, almost stock. Check this thread for full stock, without busybox or root if you want to take an OTA update or something.

Almost stock? Are you saying this only because it has root and busybox? It does not overwrite recovery, correct?

yes, exactly. I'm just trying to be clear that it is not completely stock because there have been additional files added to the system image. It will not overwrite recovery, only reflash the system and boot partitions.
Will this work with tmobile variant ? and with the wifi calling working ? just curious,. thank you new to lg thats why ( software verson h90110c)

This is for the h901 which is the Tmo variant just fyi. So yeah you are good.
WiFi calling works fine. The only thing that breaks it sort off is installing xposed and that only breaks it if you don't have LTE at all. If at home you can use WiFi but it has to see LTE signal as well. If you are In. area with no LTE or if airlane mode on with just WiFi on it wont work.

You have to unlock your bootloader first by sending commands over adb after booting into fastboot then you'll have to download the twrp file and flash that over the stock recovery using adb again

first of all i like to.say thank you for helping me. second to use adb do i have to install the nexus tool kit ? i was reading somewhere thats the best way to go through ? thank you and sorry for asking such a noobie questions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63655247&postcount=3
just follow this link style right ?
Here is the link to the bootloader unlock/recovery/root thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63627074
I didn't use the nexus kit, I just installed the adb and fastboot drivers manually. Instructions are in the link I pasted. When installing the drivers, install them system wide, makes it a little easier. Also, download drivers for LG G4.

Im apologize for he noob question. Can I just flash this v10_Stock_Rooted_Busybox.zip that I downoaded and it will restore the phone to factory settings, but be rooted and have busybox installed already?

Shouldn't cause harm.
But it is always good to do a clean flash
I have to say this worked, unlocked and rooted, adb fastboot all worked great,. Thank you
Would anyone be so kind as to zip up the following two folders and share the links with me?
/system/lib
/system/vendor
Many thanks in advance! :good:
Anyone getting this to work with the LG-H960A yet?

HELP: Upgrading to EMUI5 on NEM-L21 with TWRP and Xposed

I read here, somewhere, that you need stock recovery to do the update. Since I have flashed another recovery (and rooted and installed Xposed), I'm not sure if I can update to EMUI5.
Furthermore, I'm not even sure how to do the update. The update (b351) is available in FF and checks out as "compatible", but I don't know what the install procedure is. Especially without stock recovery.
Any help or info is much appreciated
yeah, you should flash stock recovery thru ADB and thn try updating...
Not adb but fastboot

You will also need to reflash the stock boot.img, since you're rooted.

Thanks a lot. Any help, perhaps, on where I get that. And the recovery mentioned above?
Oh, and why is it not possible to flash the ROM like if it was a custom one? Just wondering

That you may need to find your own. Well in custom ROMs, they are designed to work with custom recoveries like TWRP. While in stock, the whole system is inside update.app, which can't be read by a custom recovery.

Flash the boot.img of the ROM you're using.
For stock, flash the boot.img using spft which you must have used to root your phone.

Magisk usually creates a backup of stock boot image in /data partition.
There you can find a file with a long name containing weird numbers and letters but also the words "stock".
Flash that img using twrp.
If you still don't understand then I can't help you. I can't teach you the basics. You should do it yourself.
