[TWRP] [Recovery] [E6553] Xperia Z3+ Flashable recovery

Hello, guys.
Today I made a full working, flashable TWRP 3.0 recovery for our single SIM device. But do you still need it? Cause I made it for personal use, and if you do - I can post it here. Just need your answer. Thx!
MotexT

Great, please upload it! Does it work with marshmallow? Just flash it in flashtool? And is it hotbootable as well?

Yes please post it!!

Yeah please upload it. I am eagerly waiting for it.

But rather put it into the development section then. And a question... What do you think about building cm for this device?

So, as soon as I finish some test for DualSim version - will post it here. Need also some help with thread creating - it will be first time when I create a new Dev thread on XDA, so I need to respect all stuff like credits, devs, license etc. PM me who can help.

Guys from 4pda forum tested my recovery for both, and looks lije both work properly. So will post it here. Who don't want to wait for thread - PM me, will send direct link for download and instructions.

Guide for installing TWRP with link to download
Inside my Drive Folder head to Recovery folder and then download either twrp1 for SingleSim or twrp2 for DualSim
Drive Folder
Guide for installing​
Put twrp1.img/twrp2.img to Fastboot folder
Hold Shift and then right click on tge window
Then "Open command line here"
In command line write "fastboot flash recovery twrp1.img/twrp2.img
Connect your phone holding Vol+ button
A blue LED will light up for a while, you will receive "Done or Ok" in command line
After that disconnect your phone abd turn it on
And when yellow LED will appear on Sony logo, press Vol+ one time
Soon you will enter the recovery main menu
twrp1.img for SingleSim and twrp2.img for DualSim respectively
This recovery doesn't have to be reflashed or rehotbooted - this is FOTA one, it will rest untill you reflash FOTA partition

Do I need to be rooted to do this? I have dual sim not locked bootloader and not rooted.

To root your phone flash custom kernel from This thread. Then flash my recovery (still uploading DualSim version, wait 5 min), and through recovery flash latest SuperSu binary and DRM Restore (for recover lost functions after unlocking Bl).

Really really awesome, I'm so happy the device finally gets some love! Should be just as well be flashed via flashtool, right?
Edit: oh and I'm really excited that you're trying to port cm

You can flash a custom kernel from another thread by using Flashtool. But to flash the recovery you need to use Fastboot. Maybe after I will merge kernel with recovery into one flashable unit, but I need some time to figure out how to do that. Stay tuned, cheers!

Excuse me, how can do that DRM Restore? I unlocked my BL long time ago without any Backups...
And one more thing, there is any Xposed version for the dual vers E6533?
Thanks a lot.

Yep, you can use the latest Xposed Framework (SDK 23). And about DRM Restore - just flash attached file and be happy. Cheers! ?

Can I flash the drmrestore onto a fully running system or does it have to be applied before first boot after rom install?

Am very thankful for all your help and knowledge, my resume is this:
- kernel flashed OK
- TWRP 2 launched OK
- SuperSU flashed OK
- drmrestore flashed OK (at this point I really start appreciate for the first time after months my device)
- Installed Xposed OK
Everything looking so good, I get some time installing lot of things... then I decided to make a Wipe cache / dalvik and unfortunately I get stuck at the boot screen.
Does you recommend anything?

Is it safe to upgrade to TWRP 3.0.2?

Hi there.
Is anyone here using TWRP 3.x? I'm still on 2.x, since I read of lots of problems with newer versions of the recovery on this device, but I'd like to upgrade now. Can anyone give me some feedback?
Thanks in advance

It works but as with multiple posts not with Aroma.

I see no reason to update if u have no issue on 2.x. sometimes upgrade is just a no go.

If you're trying to downgrade, it means that you've flashed TWRP.
If you've flashed TWRP, it means that you already know how to flash a custom recovery.
If you already know how to flash a custom recovery, then this is EXACTLY the same thing. Just pick an older version of TWRP and flash it the exact same way you would flash any version of TWRP.
And if you don't even know how to do that, google is your friend.

I can probably see right now, you've done it wrong... Download stock rom from huawei.consumer... For some reason i thought it's gonna be android MM, but it was android N, so no problem here, just download stock rom and you will have newest android.
You probably downloader rom from xda, rom it's in .zip right? And you tried to flash it with TWRP?

Yesterday I had this issue, it's more easy than it seems. In Revolution Recovery for Nougat, flash the update.app ZIP with 6.0 , it will show you a lot of errors, but don't worry, it's ok. After this flash than DUALSIMOEM.zip and after that shutdown your phone and use the 3 buttons method to automatically ,,update" to B161.

That's because u don t have the bootloader unlocked Also, verify in Developer Options to have Enable OEM on, that's why you have an error in CMD

Getting back to stock EMUI super easily, almost no hassle

Hi everyone, today I will be telling you all how to get back to stock as long as your bootloader states "PHONE Unlocked" and "FRP Unlock"
You will need to install this, this is super duper important! https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
When installing, you will see the error: "E: Unknown command []]"
DO NOT BE AFRAID!
That is supposed to happen lol.
Installation procedure -
1. Flash this TWRP: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18uHjW73Th8iYKIs5m_QgwleMIOjsZd7S/view?usp=sharing
2. Wipe everything except SD card, then choose "Format data" to decrypt device
3. Reboot once again into TWRP (NOTE: If you are using USB OTG cable, make sure to plug it in AFTER TWRP is fully booted and ready to go, if you do it early, you get an error, which is weird lol. EDIT: Not sure if this error is still present in the new twrp, but it's never bad to play it safe.)
4. Flash HuRUpdater, make sure the file names are correct!
5. Reboot into stock recovery
6. Factory reset and wipe cache partition
7. Reboot
This method also enables themes to work again, so no need to worry about that!
Lots of thanks to @zxz0O0 to providing this awesome tool
And more thanks to the OpenKirin community for helping me out when flashing this! :good::good::good:

hello crayonicle, hehe im on the dot os for now, im interested going back to stock. will i get official updates backs from honor if i go back to stock using this method?
do i need to install the HuRUpdater only as the instruction shows? or follow as the link to the other thread shows?

Most likely not, the moment you unlock bootloader, you get no updates from that point forward. Just check using this for latest version: http://pro-teammt.ru/huawei-firmware-finder/

Hi !
Does it work to restore on the BND-L21C432B121 ? Because it's marked for 7X but does it works on all firmware versions of this device ?
Thanks !

hi op,
does this work on L24 the usa version?
What update.zip file did you use? can you point to the link?
Also, does this update take the recovery to stock with no TWRP?

Yes, after flashing this via twrp, if you reboot once again to recovery, it is stock recovery, not twrp.

Possible to relock bootloader?

Is it possible to relock bootloader with stock recovery but with a custom rom like lineage os? It'd be really great to know how to do it if possible.
