[Q] After flashing existenz Rom, Recovery does not boot - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'll try to reboot into recovery but it starts normally.
When I try to shutdown the Z2 and boot (typing VOL UP) into recovery, it is always booting normally. So what can I do or how can I fix this? (i cannot post in the general thread of the rom because I'm new here.
The rom works perfectly, all fine.
Just added the xposed module "GravityBox", works fine too.
But I cannot boot into recovery..
Oh sh*t I saw it now on the top, no questions in general, I'm sorry!..

I think you have to reinstall recovery
Im not sure if existenz supports recovery for locked bootloader

Hey!
I've an unlocked bootloader. I've first flashed CWM with fastboot before I installed the Rom.
Is there an official boot.img what I can flash in fastboot so I've got my recovery back without losing intern data?

you can use flashtool, (flashtool.net)
you will need a FTF which can be found at teh top of the general section, just exclude all of them exept kernel, that way you can get the stock kernel back

Hey there!
I don't want stock rom, I could do it if I want.
I'm just wondering about the eXistenZ Rom, am I the only one without a working recovery after flashing?
I just want my CWM recovery back between the eXistenZ Rom.
Thanks.

Install cwm again how you installed before, as said i dont think existenz supports your recovery method hence it wont be there after installing which means you would need to reinstall
If you installed via fastboot then this is fairly odd as it shouldent of happened

But with the same method as before it won't work again (first via fastboot then install zip in cwm)..
So I think, I'll try to do a backup in any way and install cwm again like before.
Damn I don't want to reflash.. I spent to much work in the settings, design and system.
Crap, so no other possible way for a solution?? :banghead:

If you have a unlocked bootloader you can install advanced stock kernel or doomkernel
And reflashing the rom or flashing across stock based roms you dont need to wipe data

Ah yeah you're right, I don't have to wipe data!
I've created a nandroid backup with the nandroid online app.
The app fails with backing up /boot and /recovery path :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
.. so no way, I have to reflash.

this is not part of my question, open a new question thread for that.
@Envious_Data:
Problem solved, just erased boot and reflashed CWM boot.img with fastboot, my Xperia Z2 is booting without problems, LED turns pink on Sony logo and is booting eXistenZ , no data loss. Yeha! Thank you for your support.
