Hi everyone.
Here's my build of TWRP 3.0.3-0 for Huawei P7.
Features:
Supports USB OTG, so you can use USB flash drive as external storage for backups, zip installations.
Added feature to make backup/restore of internal storage.
Added feature to make backup/restore of oeminfo partition. This partition contains info about vendor and current installed version. So in case if you want to rollback to 4.4.2, for example, or revert back your previous vendor version, you can just restore oeminfo from backup with 4.4.2 version or other vendor and flash appropriate firmware without flashing transition package, vendor and without getting "cust fail" error.
Combined with stock EMUI 3.1 recovery. In case of power-on by holding power + vol+ or rebooting into recovery by command or any 3rd party application: will boot in TWRP. In case of local update, OTA-update, factory reset from menu or "force update" (3buttons method): will boot into EMUI recovery. Thus you don't have to flash stock recovery before OTA-update, flashing official firmware or doing factory rest.
Off-mode charger updated from EMUI 3.1 (for 4.4.2)
custom.bin and cust symlinks are saved/restored (if they were exist) in case of Wipe/Format Data. So there is not gonna be "cust" issues after factory reset in TWRP.
Excluded SuperSU from build.
Enabled encrypted data support.
Screen lock by power button replaced with screen off.
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader
Android 4.4.2 - 5.1.1
Installation:
Reboot in fastboot mode
Flash image via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_P7-3.0.3-0.img
fastboot reboot
From TWRP: Press "Install" and select zip-archive
Notes:
Because internal storage is not a separate block device and just a subfolder of "userdata" partition, before you can make backup/restore of internal storage, first you should do Mount -> Data.

I can't tell you for sure about backups made by araca's 2.8.7.0 - I don't know his partition layouts and backup naming method, but if you were using my build of 2.8.7.0, then yes, you can.
Anyway, it's better to make a new backup, for any case...
Thanks . works great on my p7 especially the factory reset with cust .
can you explain how i can build similar twrp for the mate S . your help will be much appreciated
Hi !
Whenever I use 3buttons method my phone goes to EMUI recovery ,
Whenever I use 3rd party application my phone goes to TWRP recovery !
There is no update file on my storage so in both cases my phone should go to TWRP recovery ! What is the problem ? Please solve this !

What do you mean by similar?
You'll have to make device tree to build TWRP. Mate S is much different from P7, so I think I couldn't help you with it.

There is not any problem. 3 buttons method is used for "force update". If you want to boot into TWRP, use "power" + "vol+" instead of 3 buttons. Read the first post attentively!
@Kostyan_nsk_one question, why if internal storage is a subfolder of user data in recovery the size of internal storage partition is bigger of data partition?

TWRP excludes /data/share folder from backup of /data folder. Thus, if you have a lot of photos, music, etc in your internal storage, its backup size will be greater than size of /data backup.

Well, thus if I want to do a nandroid backup I have to check data and internal storage, not only data partition because of default it's not selected internal memory

It's not mandatoryly for nandroid backup. Depends on what kind of data you want to save. /data contains user applications and system settings; /data/share (i.e. internal storage) contains your personal data (screenshots, photos, music, videos, etc) if you didn't moved them to sd-card. It's up to you, what to backup and what not.
@Kostyan_nsk I appreciate your work. I have already built TWRP for my Huawei device but I am struggling to fix custom.bin and /data/cust symlink being destroyed after factory reset. I have placed the necessary code in partitions.cpp under Wipe partition block. Can you tell me which method you used to fix this?
@Kostyan_nsk When I do a backup in the internal memory then via es file Explorer goes into TWRP folder in sdcard0 (internal memory) it is empty, and if I go into the folder media / share / 0 / TWRP I find the backup. They are not the same thing? While if I do backup in the external sdcard its all ok.

Hi,
I have the same problem. Also on TWRP 3.0.2. and everything seems to work.
Can't find anything about this 'postrecoveryboot.sh' Error 2.

No, unfortunately not.
If XDA has no solution, who else?
I have the same problem, this is inside the file
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
# Include device-specific vars
source /sbin/bootrec-device
# Turn the LED off
echo 0 > ${BOOTREC_LED_RED}
echo 0 > ${BOOTREC_LED_GREEN}
echo 0 > ${BOOTREC_LED_BLUE}
that error is because this file bootrec-device located at sbin folder always missing when reboot system or recovery
I have try many way
-flash stock rom with flashtool
-flash rom via recovery
-wipe via adb and fastboot
-chmod this file bootrec-device to read only
-remove this file postrecoveryboot.sh just come back after reboot recovery
all that way doesn't work
my Xperia unable to boot right know :crying:
maybe i'll try search what's file that create this??? postrecoveryboot.sh
where's boot script locate???
any help would be apreciated

A possible 'emergency solution' so that your device reboots again could be attached link.
What really surprised me, no one else has this ERROR: 2, and if not, why not?
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
You can fix this 'postrecoveryboot.sh' Error 2 with a lower version twrp
I use twrp 2.8.7 which has been uploaded by someone from here androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347811669
flash with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" only if you UB, on LB try downgrade your twrp version
and then via file manager, just chmod the file bootrec-device located at sbin folder with read only access
my phone can only be booted only with rom existenz, and it was frequently rebooted and my battery status is unclear, sometimes 65% during the initial boot, and then only a 5% reboot afterwards
I have flash using flashtool with many based rom from 10.5.1.A, 10.6.1.A, 10.7.1.A latest, but it still does not make my phone work just to show sony screen flickered and died with the indicator is still red
all the problems occurred after I had this problem 'postrecoveryboot.sh' Error 2
I still do not know how to turn off the script, when I delete the file after reboot definitely go back there
hoping my phone can be normal again sometime

Could the cause for the error be a kind of provider branding?
So deeper implemented than the usual firmware.
My device was delivered via German Telekom.

After installing Multirom v33 the error message is gone!
Dont ask why, both recoverys, the new one into the FOTA partition from attached link und the older, normal one 3.0.2.0 are error-free! :good:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/orig-development/mod-multirom-v33x-xperia-z-t3432385
I have installed the Modified recovery FOTA, before this error happen all working fine any custom rom working
but after this error, i can boot into recovery and install rom then reboot got bootloop, charger just show blip screen logo
just wanna try your idea with the Multirom v33 non modified

Download latest recovery 'twrp-3.0.2-0-yuga.img' from link 1.
Put it to your Phone, turn of, push volume + and insert USB-cable for flashmode.
Blue LED-light appears.
Type -fastboot flash boot boot.img
-fastboot reboot
in ADB-connection CMD on your PC --> thats all.
Optional you can use the Tool in link 2.

I wa sure to copy the .img file in "platform-tools" folder in my PC and with cmd type "-fastboot flash boot boot.img" and not to have the file inside the internal memory of my Xperia Z. Obviously i think to rename "Twrp-3.0.blablabla" into boot.img

Yes, very correct, copy and rename the file into 'boot.img' to your ADB-folder and flash it. :angel:
Finally with some free time i unlocked and flash the latest TWRP on my old Xperia Z. And yes i've got the same error "ERROR: 2". But everything works from backup to restore and flash Custom ROM. So i think we can nevermind about that
I have the same.
Sometimes my phone randomly reboot, and seems to be some app cause this reboots.
It was happend more and more often. And suddenly couple days ago my phone start to bootloop (just endlesly booting at xperia logo).
I have F5121 stock 8.0 Oreo and done all like in this manual https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...els-latest-34-4-a-2-118-25-sept-2018.3594502/
So I was have rooted kenrnel twrp 3.2.3.0+DRM-Fix +magisk +FCS_1.3 +debloat script.
Almost 2 years of no problems and this surprise.
When I load to twrp and press menu button i see this:
Updating partition details...
...done
Unable to mount storage
So I was trying do backup of all partitions and after that I go in in wipe menu => advanced wipe => checkbox cache partition => fix patition
than I try to fix all patitions - it doesn't help.
So I do this:
wipe menu => advanced wipe => checkbox data partition => change to exFAT filesystem then => change back to EXT4 filesystem and restore data from backup. And do system/data partitions
and try to restore my backup - and it don't work.
EVEN my older backups don't works - I always become bootloop on xperia logo.
When I download twrp backup to PC and unpack cache.ext4.win\recovery I see file with name last_log.
Thats how last strings of file last_log look like:

I would like to hear some ideas why that may happen (Unable to mount storage). Coz i lost part of my data and don't wanna have the same experience again and again in future.
"Cyanogendmod.Org / Install CM for z3c / Unlock Your Xperia Z3 Compact" <--- That's the URL somehow.
Followed this instruction. Got myself the 12.1 .zip and .img.
I get error installaing the .zip and the .img isn't even an option:
The old rom is infinitly loading in that blue/purple wave line.
I then turn the phone off by holding down the power button until the phone restarts.
My history:
>Pressing up and down on the button rockers.
>Cyanogen Recovery starts.
>I choose "Wipe data/factory reset".
>I choose "Apply update".
(Apply from ADB doesn't work as it seems as ADB has no access for USB debugging. That's why install it from an external SD)
>Install "cm-12.1-20160918-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip" or its copy that I named "update.zip".
Error message:
[CAN'T POST PICTURE BECAUSE XDA HAS VERY FUNNY MEME RULES XDDD]

How can I get out of this loop?
If you want to go back to stock, use flashtool and flash whatever version you want (FTF method), I had an issue with flashing CM too, it said this is for aries but this device is z3c etc. Is this your problem?

Few things you can do:
1- Download the ROM again, might be corrupted download.
2- Flash Lollipop FTF(not necessary), Flash TWRP recovery, boot into recovery, (If it asks, swipe to allow modifications to system), wipe everything (system,cache,dalvik,data), flash the ROM through TWRP recovery.
3- If it gives the error that I talked about in my first message, let me know.

I tried #1 but I'm already stuck with the "SONY XPERIA" blackscreen at the very beginning when booting the smartphone. I suppose it's because of the failed installation and the not choosing of "Wipe clean/factory reset".
I hope that still doesn't count as bricking. I let the accumulator run dry and reload the battery and try to get into the Cyanogenmod Recovery again. Right now nothing is possible. =/

If you are on CM recovery, then there is the problem. AFAIK you can't flash anything through that, so you have to push TWRP on your device using fastboot and then flash AOSP/CM rom you want.

That's called a soft-brick. You should install the ADB drivers for your phone on your PC and then download TWRP for your phone (.img file) and rename the TWRP you downloaded to recovery.img .
You should put the recovery.img into the folder where your ADB drivers are installed, then Shift + RClick on that folder then select Open Command Window Here. Connect your phone in fastboot mode to your PC (Keep Vol. Up button then plug in your device). Type the following commands:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
fastboot reboot
If you've done it all correctly, your phone should boot into TWRP recovery. From there you should go to wipe-advanced wipe and wipe your Cache,Dalvik Cache, System, Boot. DO NOT REBOOT NOW. You should go back to main menu and choose install, then choose the ROM you want to install. It should flash it if you don't have a corrupted file. After flashing, you can safely reboot your phone, don't forget to flash GApps if you want Google features on your Cyanogen, hope I helped!

K, 90% of this works. I got the TWRP "app" and I cleaned the cache and all that, but I had to reboot. You see:
To transfer new media I need to remove my external SD from the z3c to my old LG. The LG is connected with my PC and is therefore a kind of card-reader. I tried 2 different nightly thingies.
I still get extraction errors, see:
h t t p : / / t i n y u r l . c o m / h j j d 4 o b
I downloaded 2 different nightlies 6 times already. I dunno. Somethings off here.
Also: For what is the recovery.img? Should I install it afterwards?
I have to restart the phone in order to replug the SD card and get recognigzed by the TWRP.
I did everything from this:

OK, your problem is that you messed up your system, so wiping it is not gonna solve this issue. You need to download a stock firmware file (an FTF file) and flash it through Flashtool, because your device name seems to be "." which is why you were getting "error 7". As for the recovery.img, you will use it to flash TWRP recovery on your phone. TWRP app doesn't work correctly if you don't flash it to your recovery partition so do as follows:
1- Download Flashtool, install the drivers of your device for Flashtool (you can search it on xda forums), download an FTF file, any of them should do, but as you will install CM 12.1, I recommend a Lollipop FTF.
2- Flash the firmware through Flashtool. This will turn your phone into a stock one. Unlock your bootloader if you haven't already, which I believe you have.
3- Flash the TWRP recovery through fastboot (follow my earlier instructions)
4- After you open TWRP recovery do the wipes, note that you can still connect your phone to your computer for file transfers in TWRP Recovery.
5- Install the CM zip file through recovery
IF YOU GET ERROR 7 SAYING :this package is for device: D5803, D5833, z3c; this device is aries.
7- Open the CM 12.1 zip file on your computer and proceed to META-INF/com/google/android directory.
8- In that folder you should see "updater-script", extract it to somewhere and open it with Notepad.
9- Once you open it press Ctrl + H to change some of the lines.
10- Write "D5833" without the quotation marks in the first space and write "aries" without the quotation marks into the second space and click replace all.
(This will change all "D5833" to "aries" in the file therefore making it usable for your device) Save the file and put it into the directory of where you found it, replace it with the original.
11- Now put the edited .zip file into your phone storage, and flash it through recovery. It should work. :good:

I think he shouldn't flash TWRP on boot partition, as you wrote. That might cause further issues. I am flashing my recovery through fastboot without problems using next command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

It won't matter. Because when he flashes the CM, it'll flash the CM Recovery along with it.

Yea I know, but before that, he needs to have a working TWRP on right partition to be able to even flash any rom.

That's why I wrote those steps for him/her to follow. If you flash TWRP to boot partition, when you boot the phone, it will go straight into TWRP. If you flash it to recovery partition, you'll have to boot it manually.

Logical step, didn't think about it that way, I assumed OP knew how to enter recovery

FlashTool says the firmware has been flashed so I don't understand what are you trying to do after that? After flashing the FTF file you should flash TWRP through "FASTBOOT". Then follow the instructions.
K, did everything you said. Read everything five-times. Replaced "D5833" to "aries" and all that stuff. Still getting ERROR 7.
The phone is still in TWRP Recovery from FASTBOOT / BOOTLOAD because I "constantly" charge it to stay in recovery. If I had found this Mount option earlier... kinda feel stupid for that. So I still get ERROR 7. I copied the modified .zip to internal storage and SD card to see if I get the same error twice. And yeah.
Exact error message in red letters:
"Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file ' /external-sd/cm-12.1-20160918-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip'
Updating partition details...
... done"
So I forethought and cleaned the cache and need somewhat new instructions.
Also:
I suppose with "Advanced Wipe" and your instructions you meant this points, right?:

OK, so try flashing TWRP to recovery partition to get you out of TWRP after you boot by writing these commands in the ADB:,
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot recovery
This will flash the TWRP to recovery partition and will boot you into TWRP. As you do this you won't have a go at the recovery again but for this time. You can reach the TWRP by pressing the Vol. Down button when the phone vibrates at the boot. Also if you want to force shutdown your phone you can use Vol. Up + Power Button combination for a few secs.

K, cool feature. Got it all set up now, but back to the main subject:
Is it even possible to install CyanogenMod 12.1 on Sony Z3C?
All the thanks goes to @Peak.Krittin [Dev].
MIUI Forum link to this thread :-
http://en.miui.com/thread-3584490-1-1.html
Greeting , MIUIers
This thread is divided into 2 part
- Flashing TWRP & ROOT (& INSTALL XIAOMI.EU)
- My active development project for Redmi S2/Y2 (YSL)
Today , I will be showing you how to flash TWRP and root the Xiaomi Redmi S2/Y2 (YSL)
I took time to make this and sure that it is noob friendly.
You can not blame anyone if you bricked your phone, It's all your own fault. Please done it with caution.
People who do not know what they are doing right now please leave this thread alone.
!!! Unlocking & Rooting phone will lost your warranty !!!
(Re-locking & flashing full rom by fastboot should give your warranty back)
Requirements :
- Unlocked Bootloader
- Workable Brain
- Common Sense
- TWRP
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kW_j-iQDDPHnt8cWkcogtKR7iM--8Yhh/view
- Magisk
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.4/Magisk-v16.4.zip
- ADB & FASTBOOT
- ADB & FASTBOOT DRIVER
- Xiaomi.eu Rom (Optional)
https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-rom-releases.103/
Note:- You can flash it on any miui rom.It is safe to flash.
and for boot into recovery wiping of data not needed.
but if you flash ( I said flashing) on xiaomi.eu MIUI roms then to decrypt internel data you have to click on wipe data and then it will ask you something you have to simply write "yes" and then your internel data will be decrypted and you can see all the files of internel data in twrp.( Decryption of internel storage is only supported by xiaomi.eu roms )
But if you flash it on any other MIUI rom then it will not decrypt your internel storage (So no need to wipe data). To flash any .zip or .img file you have to put that file in your sdcard so that you will flash it through twrp.
And note that if you only boot into twrp then you dont have to wipe data but you have to put your flashable files in the sdcard.TWRP will not be there once you reboot.It only will be seen when you again boot into twrp through cmd.and you will get ota update as well if you only boot into twrp because when once you reboot your phone you will get your stock recovery not twrp.
I am again saying booting and flashing are two different things.
!!! UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER REQUIRED !!!
Let get start,
Copy the twrp file into your ADB&Fastboot folder.
First of all , Prepare your phone in fastboot by
- Power + Volume Down
- adb reboot fastboot
Then type "fastboot devices"
It should return something.. (Your phone)
If it didn't ( Please go read #1 Solution in the end of the thread
After that, type
"fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-ysl.img"
If you want to temporarily boot twrp
or type
"fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-ysl.img"
If you want to flash recovery.
Then, You should see your phone entering TWRP
You will be prompted
"Please enter password to decrypt your phone"
(Please read solution #2 at the end of the thread to permanently disable encryption)
Don't enter password....
Click cancel then go to wipe
Then "Slide to wipe" ( If there are errors please go read #3 Solution in the end of the thread )
Then advanced wipe and wipe Internal Storage
After that, click "Install" then click "select storage"
and select External Storage / SD Card and click
"Magisk.zip" and "Install This ZIP" wait until the installation finish then click "Reboot Device"
Congratulations, You have rooted your phone
Solution Part :
#1 : My device is not founded in fastboot...
Answer : Did you even unlock your bootloader...
#2 : Permanently disable encryption
Answer : Please make sure that you done rooting your phone then flash xiaomi.eu rom before flash please wipe all of your partition except EXTERNAL STORAGE (SD CARD) then flash Magisk.zip again
What is xiaomi.eu rom?
It is a modded miui rom based on CHINA and have OTA update supported... Also, It disable encryption
#3 : Can't format
Answer : Please reboot your phone into fastboot and start the process again...

nice guide
I just unlocked bootloader and try to instal twrp and i found something wrong
this one is right
"fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-ysl.img"
is wiping internal storage needed? for what?
also whatsapp group link is broken

brother first of all sorry for broken whatsapp group link
now coming to your issue
brother if you only want to reboot into twrp recovery then use this command :-
fastboot boot twrpname.img
and if you want to flash it :-
fastboot flash recovery twrpname.img
if you have xiaomi.eu MIUI rom then it is needed to wipe internel data or you can simply click on wipe data na then type yes .It will decrypt your internel storage only works in xiaomi.eu rom
and if you wipe data on other roms like golbal beta or stable then it will not decrypt your internel data .

ok I'm understand
Shiroyasha21 said:
ok finally I'm understand
at first booting to twrp it take time, ask password and log show "unable to decrypt blabla...." it was beacuse I'm on global right? and I can only flash .zip only from sdcard
so now I'm on eu rom then format data, and no more "unable to decrypt blabla...." is that mean I can flash .zip from Internal storage?

yes u r right but you have to wipe data first

Yeah, I know that, i fixed it with flashing twrp, just wanted to try without flashing custom recovery only booting for couple of times.
Yeah command "fastboot flash recovery ysltwrp.img"
fastboot reboot
power+vol+
I am just new to this flashing custom roms or firmware and twrp also. And dumb enough to not back it up.
I wanted to install arrow os in my phone. When I was about to wipe data, cache and dalvik, I accidentally checked metadata also and wiped. Then problems created more problems.
problems right now:
I cant put a file in my storage
Internal Storage is just blank on my pc
No OS
TWRP on both slots
please help me i really needed help and knowledge about it
I hope the attachment helps
EDIT--
Solutions to my problems:
WHEN you softbrick your phone and you only have fastboot and nothing else
Thanks to this guy..
SOLUTION: download your original firmware but choose the fastboot one and not recovery after download just unzip. Double click flash_all.bat and its back to square one.
WHEN you dont know how to flash or the file you have is .img
SOLUTION: find a guide in xda because apparently you can install a .img file in "fastbootd" mode
the guides here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...sues-all-without-any-custom-recovery.4337099/
COMMENT: not the usual thats what on top of youtube search.
WHEN you see errors in twrp/orangefox recovery you might get panic and search for solution.
COMMENT: try to find and use a solution that doesnt delete something first. In my experience it got bricked even more.
Thanks to the people who commented back on my post and helping me get to know what to do next.
Try putting the stock ROM on a SD card or usb (if you have a dongle).

SD card that you put on beside the sim? if yes
Do I download stock ROM in official website? Cus I dont have 1 right now
then flashing it there by using twrp? is that how its gonna run? because i really dont wanna assume and create another problem
Try flashing this stock ROM (global) from a SD card, in TWRP. It's a recovery package, so you can install it as any zip.
Also, can you boot into fastboot/bootloader from TWRP?
Plus, where did you get the ArrowOS image? There are no builds, official or not.

I can now see it, I think I reflashed twrp, now I can, but I cant install because of failed to mount system_root and I have done change file system of data to Ext4. when it resets it comes back to f2fs
edit: change file system of data to Ext4 failed
edit2: thank you guys really for commenting back and helping me
is no verity affecting it? cus I am not able to install it now
you should format data and put the arrow build in it, maybe it will work

and I was able to sideload it and then got MIUI finally
what worried me is there were still errors like system_root, vendor and product... and its running fine now I guess but im back on track to make it to arrow OS.... I hope no mistakes this time like deleting metadata.

A12 shouldn't be a problem.
Probably you should flash another vbmeta.img.
OR
I don't know if there is an .img twrp around, but if there is you can:
Code:
fastboot boot {recovery.img}
and then [Advanced]>[Install Recovery Ramdisk].
