[TWRP][E5823] TWRP for Z5 Compact [10.11.15]

[nilezon]

New version uploaded!
The kernel and recovery are still based on Sony kernel 32.0.A.6.152.
I have done a few tweaks to lower CPU temp in recovery mode and somehow the distorted colors got fixed as well.

Thanks for all the work, a little suggestion, how about putting the changelog in the first post?

Has anyone experienced a loss in camera quality after rooting with this? Like on the z3

I want to root my device but you are saying that the colors are a bit distorted so I don't know, can you please upload screenshots or something? Also my model is E5803 and the firmware version is 32.0.A.5.12

Will this root method work with my model and firmware version? Maybe I'll have to wait a little more until the colors are fixed or until an easier and more safe method is available for this phone...

The colors are weird only in recovery. It works totally fine otherwise. TWRP had orange hues instead of the normal blue, but it got fixed. Don't know it it'll work with the E5803, though.

Is it possible to root if I'm on 32.0.A.6.152?
cheers

Yes, you will lose camera quality, as mentioned before on a lot of other posts.

Would this work in the model E5803 too?

This TWRP supports encryption Android? Four hours hanging inscription "Trying Decryption with your password".

Obviously not. I have not tested it yet.

32.0.A.6.200 just released for Z5c on XperiFirm. Plz test it. Thanks

Pardon the rookie question, but after installing this, root can be achieved by flashing SuperSU in TWRP, correct?

That is correct.

Is it possible to somehow fix it?

Is it possible to somehow fix it?

I'm sure it is, but I'm running short on time right now. Sorry.
If someone else finds the solution, please let me know.

 

[rolo143]

Pls can someone test this recovery in the model e5803? I want to install a recovery for my model but don't wanna mess it up. Or will we have to wait for another method to install recovery in my model?

Btw I'm running the latest firmware version for this phone 32.0.A.6.200

thanks

Hello,
Pardon the rookie question, Should we unlock the bootloader? In other smartphone this was necessary.

TWRP requires an unlocked bootloader, yes.
