Recovery for android 4.4. - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

hey,
recently i've tried to install rom based on ios 4.4, unsuccessfully.
the problem i had is that my recovery (aka twrp 2.6.3.0 and then 2.7, and then some rubbish cwm, ) failed to install anything beyong ios 4.3.
so... what version of recover do i need for 4.4? wha t do i need to do to install cyanogenmod 11?
thanks.

please elaborate what error are you getting ?

with twrp im getting 'failed to install' , and with cwn 'cant mount sdcard' .

I'm guessing that BL is unlocked.
Fastboot boot.IMG from the cyanogen mod zip.
At phone boot enter recovery and flash the cm zip from recovery (after flashes)

[Q] CWM Recovery not permanent

I was trying to install CWM recovery on this phone , I used Odin to flash recovery . I flashed recovery then removed battery and then booted to recovery then CWM loaded but as soon as I restarted the phone and again tried opening recovery phone took me to stock recovery , how can I solve this? I am running 4.2.2 firmware . And also I tried flashing CM11 with this temporary CWM but package installation stopped because of a error (status 7) saying some problem with partition , I was not rooted at the time . Is root needed to flash CM11 ?

1. Once u boot into CWM recovery flash SuperSU (If u don't have get it from here). This will ensure that the recovery doesn't revert back to stock.
2. Status 7 error has various reasons. Ensure that u r using most latest recovery and perform clean install.

First of all root your device.
Secondly install philz recovery using odin.
Then flash your desired ROM
(i suggest you aogp dual sim).
PM me if you need any help.
All the best :thumbup:

emmc is a partition i believe, if you see such errors, recheck if you are using the correct recovery... I flashed my tablet with wrong recovery and it wiped out all my partitions. It's as good as a brick now if not worse.

[Q] Recovery not working.

Redmi 1s.. v45 rooted.
I have TWRP 2.8.0 recovery. I can enter in the recovery. But...
1) can't install any zip(tried to install zip of stock recovery and cwm. It shows successful but again boots in twrp recovery)
2) can't backup(it shows backup is successful but no folder or file is created as a backup)
3)tried fixing root permission... But it takes forever to complete the process)
If this can be fixed plz help...... Other thing i did is...
I tried to flash rom in fastboot...
Using Miflash.... An error is displayed.... Can't flash the rom too.
Thanks
There's some problem with the recovery i guess. Try using fastboot recovery to flash the latest version and an rom

Solved
I installed CWM recovery via fastboot. Now everything is fine.:angel:
But in TWRP I used to see "simulating actions" while performing backup or installing zips.
Didn't get that.
Cwm touch recovery
Everytime im tryig to backup rom , via cwm , it says cant mount backup path.. I installed stock recovery updating via updater then formatted my internal sd , flashed cwm again,, tried back up again didnt work.. Any help?
I had problems with Custom Roms in CWM but for me TWRP worked well. But you can try Philz recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-1s/orig-development/recovery-cwm-philz-touch-t2845710
Hope this will solve your problem.
Solution
I had exactly the same problem.
It turned out that the problem is in the TWRP settings. Uncheck the Simulate bla...bla...bla...

[HELP] Unable to flash Stock/TWRP recovery or Any ROM via FASTBOOT(bootloader)

I was on OOS community build 3.5.3 with modified twrp-3.0.2-19-oneplus3.
I wiped everything except internal storage after that I tried to flash official TWRP.
After installing official twrp via modified TWRP. Niether I can boot into my recovery nor able to install any recovery via fastboot.
it I use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
after installing recovery with this command My bootloader get stuck then I have to again restart my bootloader.
please help
You're probably stil on 3.5.2 firmware which isnt compatible with official twrp. Try and get into fastboot and try flashing modified twrp again. Then reboot in recovery and flash 3.2.6 firmware (not the rom) from modified twrp. Then reboot and flash official twrp from recovery or in flashify app.
i had this problem the other day, fixed this by flashing the modified recovery from a post here turn it off the booted it up by holding vol down + power and somehow it worked i was able to go into twrp

HELP - TWRP on OnePlus 3 running the Open Beta 9 (Nougat ROM)

Here's the deal. I unlocked the bootloader of my OnePlus 3, flashed TWRP Recovery with "Tool All In One" through my pc. Then I was able to root my phone, I did it and then, flashed the Open Beta 9 through TWRP.
Now the problem I have now is that I'm unable to flash TWRP from my computer and I don't know why. It doesn't display any error or anything else. But when I boot into recovery mode, it is not TWRP, it's the stock one. Help me out. I want root and Xposed lol!
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
into recovery Vol Plus and Power
flash SU
beta9 is Nougat so xposed is not working yet.

You need adb and Fastboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979&page=95
On The Fastboot PATH
Same directory, Put twrp.img
Shift and Right Mouse.Open cmd and type
fastboot flash recovery "twrp file name.img"
You can get TWRP.
I recommend TWRP .28
After you can flash any Rom and Kernel , SU etc...
You need modified TWRP Recovery to Run Open Beta 9, official TWRP won't work
Here's the link for Modified TWRP

... Update of the update haha: I downloaded the root zip and then I flashed the TWRP, Installed root zip and made a backup of the whole system and now, the TWRP recovery is installed permanently. Thank you if you guys followed my thread.

OnePlus 3 broken? - Only booting in Recovery

Hello, I had some trouble after a CM Update. It was only possible to boot in FastBoot, now I'm a bit further and can go to Recovery and also install ROMs.
But I'm not able to boot to the system, everytime I reboot I get into recovery, does anyone has a hint for me? What to do in this case?
Right now I have this version of twrp installed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=21835
But with the officiall one from here: https://dl.twrp.me/oneplus3/twrp-3.0.2-1-oneplus3.img.html

Thanks for help allready

Download the official recovery here:
http://oneplusroms.s3.amazonaws.com...694615&Signature=1Momnxm8gHWw03D401Oof5YxnE4=
What is the exact output if you do
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_OBT7.img
OOS4 is the stable release. I would strongly recommend it over cm right now. It's actually quite polished.
You can download the official full zip here:

Flash TWRP 3.0.2-22 (download available in other questions. Wait a bit will link it.
Edit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3971072&d=1481920669 )
See if you can boot into recovery. If you can. Flash whatever rom you have or nandroid backup.
Also are you sure you're using the correct modem and firmware version? Download those recommended in the rom you're using and flash those along with the rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...dem-collection-flashable-zips-t3468628/page23
Recently I couldn't boot after flashing different firmware, same with different rom without its firmware and modem.
