Unofficial TWRP 3.1.1-0 Recovery for Xperia M4 Aqua for unlocked bootloaders

A custom recovery is used for installing custom software on your device. This custom software can include smaller modifications like rooting your device or even replacing the firmware of the device with a completely custom “ROM”

Some features:
Built with the AOSP 3.10 kernel
The latest twrp version
fiops i/o scheduler: don't know if this makes an actual improvement, but I just wanted to add it
Fixed the clock
Really fast and cooler

Notes, current issues:
When entering the recovery, the screen will be black, then flicker but after that it will work flawlessly. This is a mdss bug, but I don't know how to fix this
There is no support for encryption, as I don't use it, and I think neither do you
Though I added 'support' for f2fs, it didn't work the time I tried to format my cache, if you want to test it, use the SkyMelon kernel
Any other issues:
You tell me:)

How to install:
method 1:
flash it using adb fastboot:
install adb and Xperia m4 Aqua drivers
download the recovery.img and put it in adb folder
1- turn off the phone
2- press volume up and connect the usb cable
3- open cmd and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

method 2:
Use Flashify from the Play Store to flash it.

method 3:
flash it using older twrp (that support flashing img files)

not working in my e2333 , when i enter recovery , it is going to system
I think I know why your variants don't want to boot, it's because the Image.gz-dtb thingy
I'll try to use the uncompressed one

I uploaded a fixed one in here or in the google drive link in the op, you have to extract it with 7zip or a similar program

Hey,

I'm having some problems with this. I've tried to boot into the bootloader using adb and the button sequence and that doesn't look to be working.
I've tried to flash it using the latest flashify but the file explorer just crashes when trying to select a file.
I've also tried to flash it using TWRP 2.8 but that after rebooting back into recovery it remains on 2.8

I've been trying to do this on a bootloader unlocked and rooted e2303 running stock 5.0, any idea as to what other methods I can try?

Edit: Fixed, took some doing! :)
