I take no responsibility for any damge caused.
You will make customize this rom yourself by following these isntructions:
Step 1
Firstly Download the necessary files:
B132*= http://dl-uk.huaweinews.com/index.php?dir=Roms/Ascend-P6/
B510*= https://drive.google.com/?usp=chrome_app#folders/0ByjEFdm-4A3EQlZuejlla2xaUTQ

Minimal ADB and Fastboot ^= https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1S0LCuXCnnmSWh6NGJmSE1BUWc/edit
^ is optional and * is a must
Step 2 Method A
Now the steps will be different depending on what rom you currently have installed if you have a custom or beta firmware/rom installed and twrp you will need to:
Firstly Flash Your Recovery to Stock = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636231
Flash B132= Extract the B132 file and copy it's dload folder onto your internal memory>then reboot your phone into recovery by>holding pwr+vol up+ vol down continuously untill it starts recovery>after it finishes setup your phone then follow the next step
Flash B510 =(do not flash with recovery) do so by taking the zip file as is(do not extract) and copying it onto your P6's internal memory under the dload folder(if it's not there create it) then on your P6's goto settings>about phone>system update>local>update then let it update.When it's done you have successfully installed Kitkat, if you want go on to (optional further steps)
Flash TWRP = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636231 then
Install the mods =Reboot to Recovery>hold pwr+vol up+ vol down continuously untill it starts> Start with Pure graphics>Pure Performance>Pure audio>Bravia>then clear cache> Reboot > And You are done you have a optimized B510 rom
Or if you are already on a stock rom like B111 or so then you can just:
skip the 1 instruction on the list and just do the rest.
[Note]
You can replace B510 with B512,B513 if you wanted to.
B512 = http://dl-uk.huaweinews.com/index.php?dir=Roms/Ascend-P6/&file=B512.zip
B513 = http://dl-uk.huaweinews.com/index.php?dir=Roms/Ascend-P6/&file=B513.zip
Method B
1. Start with Paranoid Android, OMNI or any other AOSP-based ROM.
2. Back up all data with Titanium backup and copy everything you need from your internal storage. ATTENTION: The internal storage will be wiped while flashing, so the backup MUST be on your SD-Card.
3. Copy dload folder to SD-Card or internal storage. (there should be no difference)
4. Boot to TWRP and make a backup in-case something goes wrong.
5. In TWRP wipe everything except internal and external storage.
6. In TWRP choose reboot to bootloader. Confirm that no OS is installed and don't install SuperSU.
7. Plug your phone in your PC and open a CMD.
8. Download B510 recovery.img and boot.img from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=51718316.
9. Follow the instructions by @surdu_petru(method1)
(or use this(method 2)choose install recovery image first, then the boot image
or use Method 3>
copy both the recovery and boot img files to your adb folder then>
run these commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot recovery
. IMPORTANT: When the flashing is finished and the phone reboots unplug the USB cable then wait for recovery to open and let it install.
10. You are finished!! The first boot takes some time no need to panic.
Additional:
Reinstall TWRP and flash SuperSU for Root. Than you can restore your backup you made in the second step.

Can I flash that superuser 2.02 because mine when I click its unfortunately stop im on b513 repack by surdu
Sent from my HUAWEI P6-U06 using xda premium
You can give it a try.
Hi everyone,
I try to upgrade my stock img (EUI 5.5.013S) on LeTV x800 CN to newer version.
I flashed TWRP 3.2.3 recovery img and it runs fine - I am able to boot to recovery and flash img I choose.
I tried flashing img from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le.../cm-14-1-android-7-1-unofficial-letv-t3530173 (version X800_CN_RR585CLEAN_11NOV17-02)
However after flashing I am stucked on fastboot (penguin sign).
I tried it couple times but without any luck.
So I restored backup copy of my stock img and decided to try offcial upgrade to 5.9.028S.
I downloaded the *.zip file (1523510744_X1_X800-CN-FN-BEXCNFN5902803208S-5.9.028S.zip) and opened it in file manager.
Phone rebooted into recovery (which now is TWRP) and TWRP finished flashing new img.
However after flashing I am stucked on fastboot (penguin sign) again.
I feel like I am doing something wrong - can somebody give me some advice ?
Also I do not have original stock recovery img as I did overwrite it with TWRP - could someone please share it with me?
It seems that we cannot jump directly from 13S Stock ROM (final Lollipop) to 28S Stock ROM (Marshmallow) or RR/ABM30 (Nougat). You may have to install firstly some other MM stock ROM, for example - 18S, 20S or 26S...
So, after full wipe (without Internal Storage!) in TWRP: (1) install e.g. 26S Stock ROM, (2) make full wipe (without Internal Storage!), (3) install RR/ABM30 ROM (or 28S), Open GApps and (if you want) Magisk/SuperSU, and (4) firstly Reboot in Recovery (TWRP), after that Reboot in System...
Don't forget to clean Dalvik/Cache after each zip installation! And Install ROM without Sim Card...
Thank you, I'll try that and post how it went.
Alright,
I tried LeGi0NeeR suggestion to first flash lower version of Marshmallow stock ROM and try flashing go-to img - It worked!
More specific info:
1. I used EUI 5.5.020S and updated it by clicking update in File manager.
phone did reboot and went into (before-flashed) TWRP recovery where it finished the installation.
2. phone successfully booted to OS (took couple of minutes due to first time boot and apps optimization)
3. I took EUI 5.5.028S and repeated the process.
Hello hello,
this will be my "live" thread of bringing AICP 13.1 to my xperia z1c, I found some Guide's that I will follow and I will share with you all the links and knowledge I gained as a newbie that I used to understand and fix my problems on the way.
Maybe this will help you, too.
Main Tutorial: LINK
Target of all this: LINK
My Device:
Sony XPERIA Z1C, 14.6.A.1.236 , Lollipop 5.1.1
My best hint: read carefully, take your time to understand what you're trying to do and do your own research!
Hopefully you will get a aicp custom rom out of it.
_____________________________________________
_____________________________________________
General information: Android 5.1.1 cannot be rooted due to its high security standards, therefore we will downgrade to a lower security stock rom and create root access there. Root access will be needed as well as an unlocked bootloader to install real recovery (TWRP) which is the tool to flash custom roms like aicp. But the aicp custom rom will not have a good working camera, don't ask me why, but the camera seems to be a really difficult thing from the point of developer's view, let's accept this. Aside of that disadvantage, this custom rom is a very nice software and it makes my z1c kind of new. I don't use my camera anyway often at all.
During all this flashing thing I had a very big ??? while implementing real recovery. I was able to flash the .236.ftf but not the openbootloader.ftf as described in section 5 in the main tutorial. The result was twrp boot failed.
Error description:
flash .236.ftf works
flash openbootloader fails
flash twrp works
boot twrp fails
boot stock rom works
My solution:
I restarted from scratch and finally with the kind of messed up secquenceI got it:
flash .236.ftf works
flash openbootloader fails
flash twrp works
boot twrp fails
flash openbootloader works
flash twrp works
boot twrp works
UPDATE 06.12.2018 as a solution for REAL RECOVERY with working camera <<< RECOMMENDED
0. boot into rom works
1. flash openbootloader works
2. boot into rom works
3. flash .236.ftf works
4. boot into rom & check camera works
3. flash twrp ( business as usal ) works
4. boot twrp ( First boot is damn important, don't miss it! Press Vol- & Power, wait for vibration, release Power & keep Vol- until twrp boots up ) works
5. full wipe, flash aicp-rom, flash gapps, flash magisk-root, boot system works
6. enjoy Oreo 8.1 & camera check !!! works !!!
This routine worked straight forward for me where I started from scratch with my second device.
Flashing aicp was pretty easy, good to know for flashing the rom was full wipe = advanced wipe and select everything except of micro sd
To complete my aicp 13.1 Oreo 8.1 device the camera problem has to be fixed ( Saving the taken picture fails, display goes into freeze, no chance to solve this with camera mods, camera apps )
But @lm089 gave me the right hint, and finally this was my solution! Thanks again @lm089!!
Have fun with your new >> SONY XPERIA Z1 COMPACT <<
How to update TWRP
1. Turn Off your device
2. Start device in fastboot mode by connecting via usb cable to your pc and press Vol- until blue led tuns on
3. use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img to flash it
4. boot twrp ( This first boot is damn important, don't miss it! Press Vol- & Power, wait for vibration, release Power & keep Vol- until twrp boots up ) works
How to update to aicp 14.0 pie 9.0
starting with the running and latest aicp 13.1 oreo 8.1 rom above I just followed the Instructions here. As a specialty I had to install the Magisk Manager App manually into the rom to get root. Downloading supersu.apk from www.supersuroot.org works fine as well.
Your fastboot connection doesnt work for some reason though u had this workin fine in the past? maybe u had a windows update. install your drivers again.

THANKS A LOT TO @colaigor for his [BEGINNERS GUIDE]
Ok. So i dont have much time now but i can give some short directions.
1. Get unlock codes from sony for bootloader unlock
2. Instal adb and fastboot at your system(PC)
3. Instal z1c drivers
4. Instal flashtool
5. Unlock bootloader,root,flash recovery(search forum for "real recovery" ),flash root solution
6. Flash wanted rom,gaps
P.P. On second thought u dont need flashtool. All can be done with adb and fastboot commands from terminal
There is one thing I don't understand:
what is the difference between FLASHING REAL RECOVERY and FLASHING FAKE RECOVERY?
What I read is, that in both cases I get TWRP but on different partitions (real = Recovery Partition, fake = Boot partition) but do I need both or do I choose just on of them?

Real recovery have its own partition(after that update to bootloader). Custom recovery dont have that and its stored somewhere else(FOTA,onetime boot image , etc). Choose real recovery. New stuff works good with it.

solved, I skipped step 5.2, flashing the .236.ftf in advance
but how can I start TWRP?
doesnt work with POWER + Vol-, vibrate & release power
I tried to flash the following recovery solution using this command:
smartphone in fastboot mode (blue LED enabled)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
TWRP from step 5.1 of the GUIDE
TWRP 3.0.2
My formerly flashed .236.ftf rom works fine, but I cant start TWRP the device goes directly to my rom

Thats where I'm stuck right now, any ideas how to fix?
okay got it, basically i do not know what the problem is but:
after BLU
flash .236 :good:
flash openbootloader
flash twrp :good:
--> failed to install openbootloader and probably thus twrp failed
solution: I skipped to flash .236 as recommended by the author of the GUIDE (step 5.2)
flash open bootloader :good:
flash twrp :good:
--> failed to start twrp, though it was installed successfully
flash .236 :good:
flash openbootloader (failed again, but it's already on the device and I guess I could have skipped this here)
flash twrp :good:
first boot of twrp is successful :good:
And basically the author explained it in his text, FIRST INSTALL OPEN BOOTLOADER BEFORE WRITING STH TO RECOVERY PARTITION
I think you should use Aicp 14 pie instead of 13.1 Oreo
I feel Aicp 14 PIE is very stable and flash port camera stock this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/port-stock-camera-nougat-roms- t3628791
Nice thread, thank you! Wish I had that when I started rooting and flashing
@lm089 Haha it's quite some work to get into it, right? I just saw that we are running on the same device & custom rom, how did you solve the issue with the not working camera? I'm still reading stuff about some mod, but I'm curious and open for tested solutions on z1c
best, dj

Had this situation twice with 2 different oreo ROMs. Both times I solved it following a rather strange sounding suggestion I found on the AICP 13.1 discussion thread. The basic idea is to go back to a stock Sony ROM. Boot into it and make sure the camera is working which for me was the case both times. Then - if necessary - re-root your phone (on first occasion I flashed a pre-rooted .236 version but that caused some extra trouble so next time I decided to flash an unrooted version). And from then on it's the standard way as you described it in your OP.
Good luck!
Okay, thanks a lot for your hint! Unfortunately the camera mod didn't fix the problem, my android-task for this evening is defined:
AICP 13.1 Oreo 8.1 on z1c, root, ulb, magisk 17.1
1. backup my system (done)
2.0 flash stock rom lollipop 5.1.1 (14.6.A.1.236.ftf) with flashtool via usb (done),booting the os for the first time takes quite long (~10m), check camera in the os (done)
interesting fact: recovery is deleted by flashing the rom via flashtool - I thought I can go the lazy way and skip the step of installing twrp again into recovery
2.1 okay, let's do it: install twrp (done) and boot into twrp, NOT into ROM!! (done) (Vol- & Power, wait for vibration & release Power but keep Vol- until TWRP starts up)
3. flash aicp 13.1 following this (full wipe as an advanced wipe: select all EXCLUDING THE SD STORAGE)
Again here, I recognized the first boot of the rom takes quite longer.
4. check camera (done)
!!!! IT WORKS !!!!
(I did it two times)
alright, lets start flashing my second device - now I know how to do it
Thanks guys!!

No, updater is booting into recovery, doing a nandroid backup and wiping caches (because I told it to), then flashing and finally rebooting into system. All by itself :good:
I remember having trouble with that in the past though. Do you by any chance have an SD card formatted as adoptable storage?

ok, that's something different; adoptable storage means that your SD or part of it is setup to extend internal storage. If you can access all of your SD from TWRP then it is indeed formatted a external storage.

Today the unlock time for bootloader to unlock will complete and I Intend to install TWRP. I have found the latest officially supported twrp-3.6.1_11-0-alioth.img at https://eu.dl.twrp.me/alioth/. How does it compare to TWRP-3.5.1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-5-1-20210702.4300189/.
Can anyone guide me what are the pros and cons of using twrp-3.6.1_11-0-alioth.img and its limitations as compared to TWRP-3.5.1 as I can not find any documentation on twrp-3.6.1_11-0-alioth.img. Any help will be appreciated.
Also does the following limitations of TWRP-3.5.1 also apply to twrp-3.6.1_11-0-alioth.img ?
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
The following are some known limitations due to either the design nature of Virtual A/B or a problem with ROM themselves. Please read carefully :-
You cannot format data after flashing a ROM zip (Limitation of Virtual A/B). If you want to format, then reboot recovery after flashing ROM. Additionally, if you are encrypted, the newly flashed ROM must be able to decrypt your device. If not, then you have to format data before flashing the ROM It appears, you can actually format data after reboot even if the new ROM cannot decrypt.
You can flash only one ROM in one boot. If you wanna flash another ROM, you must boot to system once. This is again a limitation of Virtual A/B.
Once you have rebooted after flashing a ROM, you cannot write to the data partition until you boot successfully to the new ROM. Android seals the data partition after a ROM flash to prevent any accidental brick since the newly flashed ROM is actually stored in /data. Only data format is allowed in this case. Once you successfully boot to the new ROM, your storage becomes ready for writing again.
Ideally, after flashing a new ROM, you should only need to wipe your data rather than format. But, due to a problem in the device trees current ROMs are using, you will have to format data if you are currently on miui and want to switch to a custom ROM. Specifically, the roms need this commit and to set vendor security patch level to fix this issue. Switching between custom ROMs should not need format, except for hentai OS.
If you are currently on hentai OS, then before using TWRP, you must flash vendor_boot from the link provided in every hentai OS release. Otherwise, you will get black screen. This is only needed when you boot to TWRP for the first time. Do not repeat this step again. Also, do not try this with beta version of the ROM. Use it only with stable.
If you reboot to older slot after flashing new ROM, the new ROM will be cancelled and you will have to reflash again. This is because of how Virtual A/B works.
If you must flash magisk via recovery (it's not recommended now), please uncheck "Inject TWRP after install" else TWRP will remove magisk.
Do not flash magisk after flashing a ROM before reboot. Magisk's zip detects slot in a different way that will cause issues.
Backuptool (used to persist magisk and gapps across ROM updates) will also not work in recovery due to A/B. You will have to flash gapps (or any other zips) everytime after flashing a ROM.

I know where the lastest TWRP for Poco F3 is and how to install it as I have already installed it. That was not the question. The question was that "does limitations of TWRP-3.5.1 also apply to twrp-3.6.1_11-0'? Limitattions like being forced to reboot TWRP after flashing a every single zip file and other limitations like it as mentioned above. Thanks for your reply anyways.
so for me, TWRP does not start again, after installing a file.
I install TWRP, boot into TWRP again and install Magisk. after that I boot into the ROM.
TWRP does not restart itself
So, still no decryption on A12?
I wanted to test new custom roms but i dont want to have to reinstall everything from scratch if i go back to my current rom (.EU).
Can twrp make a full backup and restore it despite not having decryption?
If it cant, can I make a full back up of my phone from cmd in fastboot mode? (so i can just flash it from fastboot to restore everything as it is now)
This is an unofficial build of TWRP, based on the Android 12.1 branch, that supports encryption used by Android 12 and 13 ROMs. This build is tested on OP9 pro, but it was confirmed to work on regular OP9 too.
As always I'm not responsible for any bricked device or data loss resulting from the use of this TWRP builds. You use this at your own risk.
For ROMs using FBEv1 encryption aka A11 encryption, please use the official builds by @Nebrassy from:
[RECOVERY] [11] [OFFICIAL] TeamWin Recovery Project
Introduction: Team Win Recovery Project or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added...

Download:
twrp-3.7.0-12.1 - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Installation:
Permanent installation is not possible with TMO stock ROM installed.
Installation overwrites all boot partition changes done previously (e.g. by Magisk or custom kernel). So you have to reflash all zips that change the boot partition after TWRP is installed.
For permanent installation, you have three options depending on your current system.
1. Option for rooted devices:
Download the twrp-installer zip
Flash it with Magisk manager or some other kernel flash utility
Reflash your custom kernel and Magisk.apk if previously installed (see example of how to install with Magisk manager below). Or alternatively flash zips in TWRP.
Don't reboot
Rename downloaded Magisk.apk to Magisk.zip
Open Magisk app
Select Modules tab
Click "Install from storage"
Select Magisk.zip
2. Option for users with other custom recoveries but without root:
Download the twrp-installer zip
Reboot to recovery
Flash it with "adb sideload twrp-installer*.zip"
Reboot to recovery
Reflash your custom kernel and Magisk.apk if previously installed
3. Option is universal:
Download boot.img
Reboot to bootloader
Run "fastboot boot boot.img" with the TWRP boot image on your PC
Go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP
Reflash your custom kernel and Magisk.apk if previously installed
Try without installation:
Download boot.img
Reboot to bootloader
Run "fastboot boot boot.img" with the TWRP boot image on your PC
Uninstall:
Just flash the boot partition with your current ROMs boot image with the following steps.
Replace "YOUR ROM BOOTIMAGE" with the filename of the extracted boot image of your current ROM.
Reboot to bootloader
Run "fastboot flash boot_a YOUR ROM BOOTIMAGE"
Run "fastboot flash boot_b YOUR ROM BOOTIMAGE"
Alternatively you can flash your currently installed OTA zip, which overwrites boot on the unused slot, but not on the currently used one.
TWRP Updates:
Download and flash the twrp-installer zip
After that reflash your custom kernel and Magisk if previously installed
ROM Updates:
Please follow the official update instructions for your ROM!
If they give an option to update via recovery you have to substitute adb sideload commands with zip installations. Also use the "Automatically reflash TWRP after flashing a ROM" option, if you are going to install a ROM zip to preserve TWRP installation.
In case your ROM does not provide a recovery update instruction you can try to update via recovery but you are on the safe side if you follow the official instructions. They always have a reason for their particular update instructions!
Instructions that work for me (on LOS based ROMs):
Flash ROM zip with "Automatically reflash TWRP after flashing a ROM" checked
Flash your previously installed zips (custom kernel, Gapps, Magisk, etc)
Reboot to system
If Gapps packages keep crashing:
Reboot to TWRP
Flash Gapps again
Reboot to system
For OOS updates should work out of the box, but if you have issues you can follow these steps (I haven't tested them):

About backups/restore:
Restore data only WITHOUT pin/pattern set.
If you restore a backup made from another ROM, then the currently installed, you may have to format data. So please manually copy all contents from /sdcard to a PC or flash drive.
Backups can be made with or without pin/pattern set. It is always good practice to copy your backups to your PC or an USB drive. Also after you restored your data partition you have to reboot to system and do a second reboot to get a working system.
To make first boot faster and eliminate the need to reboot again, additionally use the step mandatory for OOS users.
If you want to copy your backup to PC, but it doesn't show up, flash change_backup_selinux_context.zip, which is available in download folder.
For OOS users:
When data is restored, you have to delete "/data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml" before rebooting to system.
In case you restore a backup with pin/pattern set or have some other issues I have a guide that works for me:

How to use MTP, adb and fastbootD:
Windows:
Install official Google USB drivers and select the right USB drivers. For MTP and adb, the WinUSB driver is sufficient on Windows 11. For fastbootD, Google drivers (Android Bootloader interface) has to be chosen.
You may have to select WinMTP for MTP and Google USB drivers for adb, if you run Windows 10.
To use adb on Windows, MTP has to be disabled with "Mount->Disable MTP" in TWRP.
Steps for choosing a specific driver (no the exact wording):
Connect phone in specific mode
Open device manager
Right click on phone either under "Android device" or "USB device", depending on mode
Select "update driver"
Select 2. option "browse my computer"
Select "pick from available drivers"
Pick driver according to above description
Linux:
Intall the fastboot and adb packages for your distribution
Set udev rules. There might be a package for your distro or use this gh repo: https://github.com/M0Rf30/android-udev-rules
Add user to the group used in udev rules. Most common are "plugdev" and "adbusers"

Bugs:
Permanent installation alongside TMO stock isn't possible
Error message regarding vendor_dlkm in fastbootD for OOS users (just cosmetic and not problematic)
In case you notice anything else please let me know.
If you encounter any bug, please give me description with logcat.txt and recovery.log output attached. You can copy those to your data folder in TWRP, if you go to Advanced->Copy Logs.

Can you send me the logcat and recovery.log output of the failing backup? You find that option in Advanced -> Copy Log -> Include Logcat. I will look into it.
Hi Guys,
Can the latest TWRP be used to flash A13 ROMs like we used to do with older devices? I am fed up with wiping the entire storage for every ROM installation using sideloading...

Updating A13 ROMs, in my case crdroid 13, works fine. I have not tested clean installation of a different ROM after factory reset with user data preservation.

You meant to say you just wiped data, cache and dalvik and flashed the ROM zip via TWRP ? Or without data wipe?

Download:
twrp-3.7.0-12.1 - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Installation:
Get your rom's vendor_boot image. For most ROMs this can usually be downloaded. For OOS based ROMs you can get it for example by extracting it from the official payload.bin with payload-dumper-go. A third universal option, if you have root, is to use the command "dd if=/dev/block/by-name/vendor_boot_SLOT of=/sdcard/vendor_boot.img" on your device. This writes the vendor_boot image to your sdcard folder, but you have to substitute SLOT with either a or b, depending on your currently active slot.
Reboot to bootloader.
Run "fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img" with the TWRP vendor_boot image.
Run "fastboot boot boot.img" with the TWRP boot image.
Go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP.
After that is done, if you were using a custom kernel, reflash it now.
If you were using magisk, reflash it now.
Reboot to bootloader.
Run "fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img" with the ROM vendor_boot image from step one.
In the case you just want to test TWRP without installation, please skip steps 5-7.
Permanent installation works fine for me with crdroid 13 and magisk installed. I have not tested any other ROMs or custom kernels. After permanent installation you can at any time reboot to recovery without reflashing vendor_boot. During a ROM update use the "Automatically reflash TWRP after flashing a ROM" option in the install zip menu to preserve TWRP.

Your problem seems to be a general TWRP problem, that oftentimes happens in multiuser system. And I couldn't access your recovery.log. In this file you find conflicting files, that are the reason for the error.
Here is a link to the github issue, maybe it helps you solving the problem.
