I've flashed it with bt unlocked and WITHOUT root. Everything works. I cannot enter recovery with adb command but I'm through with device off and power + vol down.
The only difference is the kernel compression, some devices can't boot a Image.gz-dtb
thanks for the quick reply , Also can we expect an update to 3.2.1.0 just asking , even though it could be useless due to device be stucked at MM ver
thanks so much that is a great news, can't wait to test it :good:Sure!
I'll update my sources and try to build it today
Okay guys, here's a new recovery build, some release notes:thanks so much that is a great news, can't wait to test it :good:
Sorry, I've never encrypted my deviceAny option to make variant with working encryption?
It is worthless for all of us that use encrypted devices
I look there, but adoptable storage didn't mounted there.
Working like charm, thanks man <3Okay guys, here's a new recovery build, some release notes:
- The latest TWRP 3.2.1-0 from omnirom 8.0 sources

Is this for the dual version too. I.e E2363.?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:
