I am using a rooted Xperia U , with CM 11 ROM installed in it.
I was trying to install new ROM but accidentally in TWRP Recovery wipe data option i have selected everything which includes sd card ,system files and android secure files[/COLOR][/COLOR] and deleted it .
Now when i reboot my phone i can only see the boot screen with custom logo CM 11 , Also i cant access TWRP Recovery also.
I will Thankful to any Help
Did you even create a backup? Whenever I mess with my phone, I always make a backup.
In this case I think you didn't, and you're saying you can't access recovery either?
Try again and see if you can by holding the button combination to open recovery.
If that doesn't work, go into boot loader, connect your phone to your PC and using adb boot it into recovery. (Only if there is no option for recovery in your boot loader).
Tell me how it goes and I'll continue to help you out.
Just make sure to @ my user so I know I've been mentioned. I have way to many posts and subscribed threads to go through.

When i install a custom recovery image from rom manager or my computer, it works fine. In the recovery, i can successfully restart the recovery in the advanced menu. But when i reboot after installing, it dissapears.
It also does this even if i havent entered the custom recovery after i install/flash the recovery image and do a reboot. There is something going on at bootup, but im not sure what it is. My guess is the android system denies the recovery image because it does not think it has the privelages- though im probably wrong.
I have tried to do a nandroid restore and a factory reset, but it still wount work. i have tried re root twice and still nothing. But a thing i noticed when doing a nandroid restore is that it fails to find a file and skips it.
Please help, and if you cant.... try. I AM DESPERATO!
Hey guys, flashed this camera mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516061
and am now stuck in a boot loop. my huge mistake was i didn't make a backup on CWN when i installed it, since i'm a massive noob.
I'd post this in the thread for the mod, but new accts can't post in developer forum (to prevent threads like these, probably).
anyone know a quick solution to this? i've dalvik wiped, factory resetted, wiped cache partition.
edit: i also don't know how to get the stock camera ROM back on the device since it doesn't show up in my windows explorer. if i knew that, it'd be easy to go back to stock.

If you can get back to the boot loader (hold down power button and volume down) and recovery (choice in bootloader menu), you are fine. I did the same thing. you can adb push the stock file (in his developer thread) and then flash it with custom recovery.
Here is a link showing how to adb push - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
If that doesn't work, you can always flash back stock...... Unfortunately have had to do this more than once and have learned my lesson on backups.

I guess you gotta learn this stuff at some point, thanks for your help! i forgot that you could push files!
now a brand new issue is that anytime i flash ANYTHING to the phone, adb doesn't see the device anymore.
anyone know what's up with that?
URGENT
I did the camera mod too and happened to kill my phone trying to get a camera back on it. It boot loops bc now there is no os. Tried installing Cm-12.1 on my N910P and its now getting a "Error updating binary zip" on TWRP. I have no idea what to do. I have wiped the phone several times. Tried using odin and it failed when the phone was up and running, now it still fails any rom. Please help. I have pushed thru adb, odin, im out of options on my end. no backup either. Looking for a stock twrp recovery file for any note4 dont care anymore

New nightlies of CM12.1 needs the bootloader to be updated to newer version (HHZ12H).
Following the link to flashable zip of new bootloader: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952613145 (Credit to @mo976)
Flash it in recovery
Wipe the cache
Reboot into bootloader and select recovery.
Flash CM12.1 rom.
I just tried what you recommended . Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I'm still getting "error updating binary zip" when trying to load anything on twrp
Hello guys,
first off: i had something to do in the past with all this stuff but my memory isnt that great anymore so please correct me if im wrong
so here's the thing: my OPO decided to not detect my SIM anymore, so i did a factory reset thru recovery. I also rooted the phone before with a video tutorial from youtube (don't know if i can link it here this is my first post^^). What it does is install SuperSU over TWRP. You then have root without erasing your data! I was kinda surprised because i read in other threads that it actually will.
But anyways back to topic. I am now on these settings:
Cyanogen OS 12.1.1-Y0G7DAS2K1
Stock Recovery
Rooted
Bootloader unlocked (not sure, but i guess otherwise it wouldnt work)
I received a message for the OTA Update to Cyanogen OS 13. Downloaded & installed it, phone reboots into recovery. Already surprised here because its not TWRP anymore but i guess it was just temporary for the root installing. Or maybe it was because i didn't unchecked the "update recovery" checkbox in developer options, i think its active on default.
But anyways, the recovery tries to install it and suddenly the menu shows up again with an android in the background (in his chest is a red warning sign). No error, just the graphical android in the background. After a restart, nothing changed still on the same version. I did a factory reset once more and also "deleted media" and wiped cache.
As i mentioned, im not up-to-date with the differences on CyanogenMod and Cyanogen OS.
What i want to do now:
Step 1: Format my OPO as clean as possible.
Is Factory Reset and wipe media etc. enough for this? Or do i have to hard reset it?
Step 2: Root Access and TWRP.
I lost both of these after an OTA update to my OPO. I guess it was when i received the Cyanogen OS update. I would like to know when exactly these two will be erased and what to do to not lose them anymore. I heard it differs between CM and Cyanogen OS.
Step 3: Decision what OS to use: CyanogenMod or Cyanogen OS?
Im willing to wait for updates as long as they're stable. And i would also prefer to just install them over OTA (when it works^^). I don't want to flash like crazy, i only want a steady, rooted, customizable OS. I searched on this forum but im not sure which are the latest versions of both and what the differences are. What would you suggest me on these preferences?
Step 4: Restoring my Data
I backed up my Apps with Titanium Backup and transfered the folder to my PC. Never used it before, so i would like to know if it can cause any problems if i restore it on a newer version of Cyangogen OS or even Cyanogenmod?
Hope i don't forget anything. Sorry for the long post & noob questions you probably read everyday

Ok so first you can not perform OTA updates with a custom recovery like TWRP. So if you want OTA updates don't install a custom recovery. You lost TWRP before even performing the OTA update don't know how but you did. So I am going to instruct you how to start fresh.
1. You need ADB and fastboot installed you can get the minimal version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 or you can get the full SDK manager which has fastboot and adb https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html but if your not planning development just go with minimal.
2. Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541 You don't need to do step 4 since you want to install a custom recovery. So just reboot after you flash all the stock files.
(Also make sure you download the right stock rom he has a 16gb and a 64gb listed. Or you can download the stock rom straight from cynogen os here https://cyngn.com/support
3. Next you will need the TWRP file you can get it here https://dl.twrp.me/bacon/ if you don't have ADB/Fastboot in your path just place the file in the same folder as your fastboot. Also rename the file to recovery.img make sure you don't name it recovery.img.img
4. Download SUPERSU for root get it here https://download.chainfire.eu/1003/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip
5. With your phone on plug it in to your computer and transfer the SuperSU zip to the download folder on your phone.
6. Unplug your phone and reboot to fastboot then plug your phone back in
7. Open command prompt in the fastboot folder by holding shift and right click and select open command window here.
8. Type fastboot devices (This command will list the connected devices. If your phones serial number shows up you are good to go and may continue. If the phone is NOT listed this indicates that your drivers are not installed correctly. In order for you to continue you must fix your drivers so that your phone is listed under fastboot devices.)
9. Type Fastboot Flash recovery recovery.img
10. Once the flash is done don't let the phone fully boot to system or it will rewrite to the stock recovery so hold the power button and volume down and it will boot into TWRP recovery. IF you let it boot into the system and it does reinstall the stock recovery you will need to re-install twrp
11. Once in twrp perform a backup of your stock rom
12. After the backup is done go back to the main menu of TWRP go to install navigate to the download file and then install SuperSU
13. Now reboot and you now have the stock rom with root and a custom recovery.

Thank you very much! I did all of your Instructions step-by-step and it worked flawless. Im now on the latest CM13 Release. I hope it was the right decision and it runs smooth and stable. And if not i got the backup I do have 2 more questions:
-TWRP asked me if i want to let them "modify my partition". It helps when you are getting official updates. Is that important for me? I guess i will just flash future updates over recovery and not over OTA anyways, so i can left this "modify" option unchecked, right?
-While i did the factory reset, it said that most of the time i will not have to delete internal storage. Does that mean it also excludes private stuff like photos, videos & also backups from titanium & TWRP (if it's the same stored location)? Thank you again for anything

The only way you can do official updates is to follow all the steps above and flashing the newest stock ROM via fastboot and reinstalling twrp. Now if you want to flash a custom ROM like cynogenmod then you can just download the latest ROM from cynogemod and install it via twrp. As far as your pics go I would either upload them to a cloud service or your PC before switching ROMs. For your apps yes just backup with titanium backup and then just restore them when you change ROMs.
Requirements:
1. Bootloader Must Be Unlocked.
2. Have a backup of your working Magisk Patched boot.img saved to your External SDcard.A little INFO:
The Sony L1 recovery seems to be disabled by SONY for some unknown and Probably stupid reason.
I have tried all ways to get the TWRP and Stock recovery to boot up from the fotakernel partition (recovery) but TWRP and even the stock recovery refuse to boot.
Anyway to cut a very long story short I am releasing this TWRP which is 95% functional and needs to be flashed to the boot partition
Working Method/flow:
Make sure you have a Back up of your working Boot.img "You know the one you used to root the device in the first place".
For ease of use You can use this app by XDA dev @wanam (Thread here) app on playstore Here You can also use this app to flash the v5-twrp-l1.img to your "boot" partition or you can go old skool and use dd (Via adb shell) or use the Magisk patched_boot.img you first rooted with..
Make SURE to Copy this working boot.img to your External SDcard.
When you require TWRP flash the downloaded TWRP to your boot partition using Fastboot (cmd's below) or the above app then reboot
You will now boot to TWRP.
Do what you need to do in TWRP.
IMPORTANT:
Remember Just before you leave TWRP go to INSTALL choose your external SDCard choose "image" from the install screen find your boot.img and select "boot" with the little radio button.
Once flashed choose reboot system.
Now when you boot you will be back to normal :good:
Things Not Working:
1. You will not be able to mount encrypted data therefore you would need to FORMAT your data and then leave it unencrypted.
SuperSU and Magisk will disable forceencrypt for you.
2. Does not Charge or show battery % so I don't know if it's actually charging. (Probably Qnovo battery module used by sony)
It will probably work on all variants but I am not able to test that.
It's use is for backups and restores wipes and installs for which it seems fully functional. :good:
Install Instructios.
Boot to the bootloader then
Code:
fastboot flash boot v5-twrp-l1.img
Then
Code:
fastboot reboot
Download HERE v5-twrp-l1.img
Hi @bigrammy!! I have it booting ok, obviously encryption is not working! I was able to do a backup but couldn't boot back into system, just keeps going back to twrp! I had to flashi the patched 3313 boot image from another post to get back into system! Good work though! Tested on g3311

Ok maybe I should update the OP as it seems it's not really clear enough that obviously the boot is replaced by the recovery.
Method would be make sure you have a Back up your working Boot.img You know the one you used to root the device in the first place.
You can also use dd (Via adb shell) or a app from the playstore or better still use the Magisk patched_boot.img .
Copy this working boot.img to your External SDcard.
When required flash the recovery to your boot partition using Fastboot then reboot
You will now boot to TWRP.
Do what you need to do in TWRP.
Then just before you leave TWRP go to INSTALL choose your external SDCard choose "image" from the install screen find your boot.img and select "boot" with the little radio button.
Once flashed choose reboot system.
Now when you boot you will be back to normal :good:
OP Updated let me know if it's clearer to understand now.
Thanks for reporting back. :good:
I'll give it a go! Many thanks! Just one question though. How do I enter recovery mode from then on? Is it still power down, power and volume down yeah?

I don't think you have really read or understood the OP
You are only ever flashing the "boot partition".
When you need to use TWRP you flash the TWRP.img to the boot partition and when your done you flash back your boot.img again to the boot partition as in the OP.
BTW Have you ever been able to enter the STOCK recovery using Power and Volume Down or using any commands
My phone could not enter the STOCK recovery at all let alone a custom one and since no one ever replied to my question about this I assumed this was the case for everyone as many sony devices from 7.0 had the recovery disabled?
I'm unable to get into stock recovery too!
So,
If we don't have a Recovery partition maybe we can
Create one...
Tutorial in here
https://iwf1.com/how-to-re-partitio...-all-options-included-change-size-fs-type-etc
I'll try it if i have time.
I tested twrp 2 times
Worked every time.
I've tried to install superSu.zip via twrp, looked all right, rebooted the phone and now it's in bootloop for over 2 hours...
It's getting hotter... i ca't turn it off
The only thing that works is keeping Power and Volume Up pressed and it looks restarting...
What can i do to revive it safely?

Mate you really need to be careful unless you really know what your doing
You will likely brick the phone if you continue to blindly mess with re-partitioning and the like.
If you were in TWRP which was flashed to the boot partition as directed in the OP then flashing the supersu.zip will simply modify your TWRP.img not your boot.img since TWRP is living in the boot partition at the time you run the .zip hence your looping.
This device has bootloader issues since it will not allow the booting of another partition except "boot" recovery, fotakernel, rdimage, all tested all failed to boot the TWRP recovery and stock recovery.
There is another method used by some sony devices but this will need to be heavily modified for this MediaTek SoC and will require a lot of study and script re-writes.
Spending all this time on a device that's pretty much obsolete before it was launched since it's not planned to receive oreo and Sony 90% locked down the bootloader is kinda futile so use the phone for what it is then throw it in the bin when done in a year or two.
Mate, you are right

I think this one may very well work for the dual SIM also so please try it and then report back with some actual details.

Thanks.
Works great on the G3113 model, thank you for developing this! Now hoping to find a custom rom to install via .zip.
This "HERE v5-twrp-l1.img" is working in my Xperia L1 G3312.
But, after installing TWRP, phone does not get into boot normally. Everytime it boots into recovery mode. I think that it needs separate twrp partition. This twrp is overwriting the main boot. If anyone can make separate partition for TWRP recovery. This problem will be solved.
Hello. I ignored all your post like a retard and basically just went to the last step to flash the image. The twrp works but it wouldn't boot into normal mode but just boot to twrp everytime so I downloaded some random boot image I saw online and installed it. Now it's just stuck in the sony logo and won't even turn off. Is there anything I can do or is it rip for good?

No it's only the boot.img Flash the boot.img in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l1/how-to/root-l1-g3313-magisk-t3693350 if you can get into fastboot that is.
If not then use FlashTool to flash the stock boot.sin and system.sin only. That should get you working again.

In twrp mode, I can do everything smoothly..... but phone does not get into boot normally..... After installing stock boot again, phone boot into normally, but twrp has gone completely..... So, it is clear that boot & twrp partition overwrites each other due to no separate partition.... So, we need separate partition for boot & twrp.... then everything will be solved...

Yes but Sony Disabled the recovery partition (fotakernel) by design so you can not boot from it.
The OP is clear about the need to flash the TWRP to your boot partition and the reason I also give full instruction in the workflow/method but people simply don't read anymore it seems. :crying:
TWRP can be injected into the boot.img so you can boot normally or boot TWRP using the volume keys at boot time but I can't be bothered working on this since Sony are not going to update the Android Version.
While the phone is OK I have far better phones to spend my time on at the moment.
how to backup boot.img without root? if its impossible then how do i root this phone?
Hello,
I have an Samsung note 10+ n975f and it have root over magsik.
I updated magisk manager and than i can't start magisk manger (app cloesed after start)
After this i make a reboot and now i have a bootloop.
If i press power and volume - it makes an restart but still the same problem.
Pressing powerbutton for more than 10 seconds didn't do anything.
I tried to go to twrp with power and volume - switching volume - with volume + after display goes black but twrp didn't start.
Have anybody a idea what i could do, to boot the phone and how i get my data of internal storage
best regards

Helo!
I have the same situation, for the future: do not update magisk manager, because it confuse the boot partition.
1., go to download mode and flash the twrp again
2., if you have backup from the working system: restore only the boot partition and restart - otherwise need reinstall the rom (without format your data)
It is working for me (note 10 SM-N970F/DS)
Hello,
thank you for your information. I flashed first twrp new but twrp didn't start. I don't know what i did in wich order now but i was forced to make a factory reset so i flashed the stockrom and flash than then twrp to restore my backups.
Now i know that twrp didn't make a complete backup from my nand and i lost many data. Why i can make a backup from my data partition if my data isnt backed up? This feature is really useless. So now i have to find out how i can rsync my phone with all data before i lost my data again.
Maybe help for twrp start:
When you flashed twrp and phone reboot, you must pushing immediately power and volume up button both starting twrp first time. If twrp running, you can backing up anything you want, and pc can read phone storage also.
Yes thats true but i had no chance to go to twrp if i was pressing the power and volume + button nothing happens still after the new flashed twrp. I automatically come to a menu where i should make a factory reset. After this the phone still didn't boot and i flash the whole stock image on the phone and install root and twrp. than the phone and twrp works and i install my last backup from february. Saidly i found out my data wasn't backed up and only my apps and some other things was back.
Thanks for your replay.
The data is now lost so i can't change this now. I read twrp didn't backup /data/media.
I try to find out how to get sshd and rsync running with root rights. I tried now simplesshd but i can't explore the whole phone and don't get root rights. My plan is to sync all data every day with my nas.
