what is this

 

[eqbirvin]

Can you give a bit more details where you got this? Did you compile it? Was it pulled from another sony device? Do you have a github link?

Once again @M-Rom ! First TWRP for the Xperia 2019 Flagships and now the 2020 Series...

Same as for the Xperia 1 II:
-Download and extract the ZIP File to Your fastboot Location and rename it to recovery.img (for ease use)
-Use:
fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery_b recovery.img
-Disconnect Your Device from USB and wait for it to turn off
-Press and hold VolumeDOWN & the Power Button together until You see the TWRP Logo (or use the reboot recovery option)

Once again @M-Rom ! First TWRP for the Xperia 2019 Flagships and now the 2020 Series. Guide:
-Download and extract the ZIP
-Rename the file inside to boot.img
-fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
-fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
-Disconnect from USB and wait for the Device to run off
-Press and hold VolumeDOWN together with the Power Button
-TWRP should Start (in Chinese again!? lol)

Happy testing!

You can join My Discord Server if You need help with that... Ask Jayram which has successfully booted and used TWRP on his Xperia 5 II
MOD EDIT: Link removed, please read the STICKY!

Tried these steps and it worked perfectly, it is in chinese by default.

Updated My Instructions since 2020 Xperia Devices have a seperated recovery partition against the boot image/ramdisk ones on the older Devices. That's a huge win for Android Devices! Happy flashing Dear MARK II Users!

This installs successfuly, but it's kind of useless with the storage encryption. I tried wiping, but after restarting the device it becomes encrypted again. You need to change the language every time too. Is there any way to keep the internal storage decrypted? like the disabler .zip for samsung devices?

Doesn't TWRP support decrypting? On my previous devices it wasn't a problem, I never had an urge to decrypt the device.

Different TWRPs support different features. To get this one to support decrypting it will have to be worked on by the dev.

Unfortunately the internal storage decryption is broken since the December security patch update (58.0.A.28.51)...

I recently got a 5 ii, currently on 58.0.A.10.3 and received 58 0.A.28.51 update notification. Should I not update if I want root?

You can still update if you want root via Magisk, but you will need to patch the boot img instead of flashing the Magisk zip in TWRP.
