New bootloader for open devices (now with real recovery) - Xperia Z1 Compact General

Hi all,
I have a great news
http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...for-a-range-of-unlocked-xperia-devices-video/
Bootloader is compatible with open devices roms and also enables real recovery (Volume Down + Power)
to flash recovery partition on device you have to
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Happy Cooking
J
PS.
in case latest software does not appear just press "all Services"
flash latest software available and on top new loader

Now if it worked, that would be nice.

I think you dont understand..
This is just a bootloader, which lets you boot into recovery, which is on recovery partition.
You have to flash the recovery yourself with fastboot, the recovery may need to use 3.10 aosp kernel. Just flashing this will NOT get you a recovery.
Btw i didn't test this myself yet

According to sony, at least some icon should pop up. Which doesn't. And I did have a functional recovery in the right place at that point.

Hmm...
And where is the Sony's recovery.img for this recovery?
I flashed with EMMA the new TA partition (Sony say: this is the recovery!), and nothing, I don't have a new recovery...

That isn't the recovery, that just enables recoveries, you still have to flash a recovery and I have yet to see one which works for this new bootloader, but I'm sure one will show up!

Hi dear @funiewski!
Do you think, can we flash in these TA partition to FOTA TWRP from http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719?

I don't really have any knowledge about the new bootloader layout but fota twrp is for flashing on fota partition, my answer is nope.

OK!
Does anyone know, what kind of recovery we can flash up in here?

There doesn't seem to be any.

[Q] Idea for LOCKED phones(rooted) to update to latest OTA

hey, everyone..... I have an idea for those LOCKED phones whose system version is 9.8.1Q-78-1 to update to the latest OTA(94-1)。。。。
here is my idea:
First, we need an unlocked phone which system is the latest version.
Then, use safestrap to backup the system
Last, all locked phones(!!have rooted!!) install safestrap and restore the backup package
My Phone version is 9.8.1Q-78-1
So 。。。Will this idea work out?
Im not really sure but from what I gather on all that I've read the new update had a different kernel.... Since the device is locked and uses the stock kernel safestrap doesn't flash that partition so it wouldn't work... But I still consider my self a noob with all this so I don't really know...

Correct. You bypassed the ota. Your boot can only be touched by the ota.

Don't own this phone and don't have time too.
Did anybody built a rom for this one?
Nah, I was just able to make a flashable zip of the stock rom that works with TWRP, without the need to reflash stock-recovery.
And for those who want Xposed framework that works ( not the latest as they seem to interfere with emui ) https://mega.nz/#!6VckBKIT!t2DcF_m6bZMqP_bDCJyPGqJXinHZjBzj7RM96eJNXPE

[Q][HELP] A6000 1 GB RAM 8 GB ROM Variant

Hi, I'm new to Lenovo A6000. I have a relative that has a softbricked A6000. I wiped the phone via stock recovery, and no problems afterwards.
I wanted to flash custom ROMs for my relatives A6000, but I can't seem to flash the latest custom recovery (TWRP). It always fails. Never boots to recovery. I did some research here and there by reading in XDA and found some interesting things.
The question is:
What is the device that I'm using? How do I find out what it is? is it WT86518 or WT86528?
The phone's running on Stock KK ROM Kraft S037, Is there a problem on flashing custom recovery via fastboot when using this version of stockrom? Or there's something else wrong? Should I update it via OTA then try flashing it or is there an easier way of flashing it?
It's the old 2015 A6000. With 1 GB RAM and 8 GB ROM.
I'm pretty familiar with fastboot commands, so it's just weird that I can't flash TWRP in it. I even can't hotboot it (fastboot boot blabla.img).
Thanks before, please do reply.
So on which ROM are you just now

Thanks for the reply, mate! Thanks for the links too! But I'd prefer using TWRP than CWM. So what do I have to do to be able to use TWRP? Do I have to update stock rom to Lollipop first? Or does it mean TWRP isn't compatible at all?

One more question, do I have to like.. update the stock rom to lollipop or can I just use the 'Kitkat-lolipop firmware base switcher for a6000' method by @rahulsnair ? Thanks a lot mate for the info! :good:
*PS. I tried that version of TWRP firsthand before I posted this thread, so it means what made TWRP incompatible was because of the HH itself was still on old KK right?

Yeah exactly. Flash the firmware base switcher (for A6000 by rahulsnair and for A6000plus by me, sasukay).
Steps:
0. Flash the cwm or twrp 2.6.x (i guess) which works on KK
1. Then boot into custom recovery you've installed.
2. Then flash the firmware base switcher.
3. Now you can flash the latest twrp using fastboot which is meant for Lollipop and newer versions.

Thanks for the reply sasukay! Yeah! I had a hunch that the latest TWRP didn't boot was because of stock KK! I consulted to a friend that was using A6000 Plus before I did all of this, he told me he was on stock 'LP' when he flashed latest TWRP and he didn't tell me (or more like he didn't know) that the A6000 has to be on LP before flashing latest TWRP. Hope nothing goes wrong now. Wish me luck! :laugh: :good: :highfive: :fingers-crossed:

Root and broken

Hello my phone is broken, because I unlock the root, but his voice phone wifi is not working, so I am thinking whether my boot.img is wrong, if there is this version, can I share it. The version is SKYw1911010os00mp5 In addition, my English is not good. This is typed out using google translation. I'm very sorry.
I don't quite understand, tell me if this is correct.
1. You unlocked the bootloader
2. Then rooted your phone
3. After rooting, wifi doesn't work anymore
I'll assume, you rooted magisk since thats a common issue if the magisk version is not compatible you'll lose your wifi
If I'm correct, you flashed it via twrp. Where did you get it?
OR, you could have magisk patched your boot image using magisk manager and flashed it via fastboot
have you repair your phone ???
