Flashed. Every time I boot into recovery it forgets my settings.
Also,I'm unable to access internal memory (download folder for example)

Because you're running stock rom. Stock rom encrypts internal storage, which is why twrp forgets settings, and can't access data from internal storage. If you use it on omni for example it works fine.

Is there a working version of omnirom for XC?

Thanks for the link.

 

[oshmoun]

Thanks for the link. Just so you know, sometimes there's a reason for asking. In this case, the xda app isn't showing that thread. See attachment.

WUT? My apologies
it's weird that it's the only thread missing, maybe because there are no posts other than OP?
I just wrote something there, can you please check if it appears now?
hmmmm, sorry again about that post! DAMN YOU XDA!! LOL

It works now! Previously it didn't even load from the link you provided but I could see it just fine from my laptop. Pretty odd behavior from the app.

just flashed it, but there is no orange LED while booting phone. I can't enter recovery. I'm on stock rom + repacked kernel.

Xperia compact has a bootloader that can directly boot to recovery
Turn off the phone, then press vol- and power together
Being on stock rom means you won't have access to internal storage, because of encryption

 

[DannyWilde]

Thanx a lot. I read about the Xperia recovery partition long time ago. I didn't know X compact is included.

So just another question : cause of encryption of internal storage i am not able to make a full backup of my system, is that correct?

Still i have another probleme:
Data partition is shown as 22788mb large.
File Comander shows nearly 8 gb storage used.
Can i do something to correct Data size in TWRP?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure what you mean, do you mean to say that 22788 is not the correct size? Or that it doesn't show that 8gb is used?

 

[DannyWilde]

File commander shows 7.9GB used and 21.8GB free.
My nandroid backup used to have 7-8GB with z3c and z5c. My Xc runs on same configuration.

still not really understanding what you mean, but if I'm to guess, then twrp is reporting 22gb USED on data partition?`
if that's the case, then I guess it's because of encryption again, but not sure since I'm not running stock to notice such a thing.

A few questions :

Am I forced to flash the kernel in this thread if I want to use this twrp version? What disadvantages of not doing so exist if it's not needed?

Will this only work on omnirom roms?


Thanks!

you need to flash the .img to recovery, then use vol- and power to boot it.
If you're running a stock based rom, then you won't be able to access internal storage because of encryption.

Can I still flash zips located on the internal storage though? How about sd card (mounting it etc), and usb-otg storage volumes?

Is there a way to disable Sony RIC (and then have access to the internal storage just fine)?


P.S, so flashing the kernel linked in this thread isn't needed, and unlock BL>flash twrp to recovery>working recovery (though with the 'encryption lock' etc), works?

Where is this kernel you're referring to? The only thing downloadable in the post is the recovery .img
Oh and yes, the steps described in the last line look OK.

I feel dumb now, I literally switched to a tab with a kernel download in a similarly structured thread both times. I found the "presence" of it very confusing myself as well

Thanks anyway!
