Hello guys!
Today I want to present you fully working recovery for our beloved Xperia Z3+/Z4 device! I ported it from Z5 devices, as it has the same board under the hood. For now it`s TWRP 3.0.0-0, and i will try to keep it up to date. Also it will stay with you for as long as you want, just don`t reflash your FOTA partition. Files or download links, with a little "How-to" you can find below.
Guide for installing to /recovery partition
- Put twrp1.img/twrp2.img to Fastboot folder
- Hold Shift and then right click on the window
- Then "Open command line here"
- In command line write "fastboot flash recovery twrp1.img/twrp2.img"
- Connect your phone holding Vol+ button
- A blue LED will light up for a while, you will receive "Done or Ok" in command line
- After that disconnect your phone abd turn it on
- And when orange/yellow LED will appear on Sony logo, press Vol+ one time
- Soon you will enter the recovery main menu
Guide for installing to /FOTAKernel partition
- For the first time you need to install appropriate kernel from my Drive Folder. Just "Ivy" is for Single Sim, when "Ivy_dsds" is for Dual Sim.
- Put twrp1.img/twrp2.img to your /sdcard folder
- Download and install Terminal Emulator
- Then open Terminal Emulator
- In command line first write "su", then give it SuperUser permission
- Then, after giving Terminal SU Permissions, write "dd if=/sdcard/twrp[1 or 2, depends on your phone version].img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/FOTAKernel"
- After that reboot your phone
- And when orange/yellow LED will appear on Sony logo, press Vol- to load recovery from /FOTAKernel partition
- Soon you will enter the recovery main menu
twrp1.img is for SingleSim and twrp2.img is for DualSim respectively
AFTER THE INSTALLATION, TO ENTER THE RECOVERY, JUST PRESS VOL+ ONCE AFTER YELLOW/ORANGE LED ON SONY LOGO IF YOU'VE INSTALLED IT TO /RECOVERY PARTITION, OTHERWISE PRESS VOL-, LIKE I HAVE DESCRIBED IN THE GUIDE
