So I was on Exizentence ROM and wanted to try out CM11, so I did a backup just in case I didn't like it. Well I don't and now I can't get into twrp recovery...help.
I downloaded the TWRP app from the play store and flashed the TWRP recovery ...and now I don't have recovery. I can boot into recovery. My phone works and all but I would love to go back to the other stock ROM.

you cant install recovery normaly to xperias
twrp does not support Z2
it is required to have a unlocked bootloader
you can use flashtool to do that
you can also use flashtool to install recovery

you can reinstall recovery using nuts recovery for locked bootloaders
or if you know how you can use flashtool to flash one of the recoveries found in the dev sections

I do not think you will be lol if you soft brick your phone. use nuts dual recovery installer to get recoveries back. boot to recovery and flash a new rom, failing that use flashtool to go back to stock and start again. once new rom is on flash nuts dual recovery again

Hi,
Currently I have NUT's dual recovery installed. Trying to install the latest TWRP 2.8 following TWRP's website, fails everytime. I know the Xperia recoveries are different from other devices.
I have a locked device. Is there a way to get the new recovery onto my Z2? Even from flashing from the current recovery maybe?
Regards,
B
No, custom kernel/recovery requires unlocked bootloader, you'll have to unlock or wait for nut to update dual recovery

But after flashing monxDified I had 2.8. When I wanted to use eXistenz, I went back to stock and flashed Dual recovery again
Flashing TWRP
Sorry to hijack the thread but I have a related question.
I'm running Doomlords CWM recovery and .402, unlocked and rooted. I'd like to update to TWRP. All of the guides I've found on flashing TWRP assume you don't already have a custom recovery. Do you suppose I could just install TWRP through TWRP Manager over the existing CWM? Would I need to flash a new kernel patched version of the stock ROM that supports TWRP?
Thanks in advance.
No issues so far running the teamwin recovery on LB.

MonxDified includes 2.8 with his rom if you must run 2.8 now find a rom with it included otherwise wait for Dual recovery to be updated.

If TWRP can be flashed from Recovery with a ROM, surely it must be able to flash TWRP on its own???

NO, Z2 doesn't have a separate recovery partition therefore, as I understand it, recovery needs to be flashed as part of the kernel.

But the kernel does not get flashed on a locked bootloader as far as I know???

Yes you are correct, looking into it further, with locked bootloader the recovery is actually located in /system/bin therefore some magic involved in booting recovery, but my point stands in that the recovery has to be modified from standard to be bootable from its non standard locale.
Hi xda!
I have a Z5C and i was tired of sonys laggy version of Android so I decided to install zombie kernel with twrp as backup.
The kernel works brilliant but I can only boot to recovery with help from fastboot. I would like to be able to boot to recovery directly from my phone without the use of fastboot/PC..
I also have a z4 tablet with Androplus kernel with twrp recovery.. And I am able to boot directly from the tablet to recovery.
So I decided to install Androplus and twrp for my z5c. I tried to install twrp through twrp and it looked like it was installed... However still not able to boot to recovery without fastboot. Then I tried to install with fastboot and I got an error - picture attached.
When I look under "about phone" the phone tells me that I'm still using the old zombiekernel??
How do I get Androplus kernel and working twrp installed on my z5c?
Thanks in advance

To boot to recovery in the z5c you gotta pudg the volume up while booting over and over until you see the notification LED go red-yellow-orange
Once you're in recovery you could restore your old kernal if you made s bsckup
I know... But that is not working. The only way i can get it to boot is with fastboot. What to do?

Try flash tool to push anew kernel maybe.I've never done it but from what j have read, download your firmware from xperia firmware and use flash tool to only flash kernel.
You need to use fastboot to flash the boot.img to the phone and then do the same for recovery.img. It will then work with androplus kernel and twrp.
Thats my setup currently.

Sorry to resurect this old thread. Can you or anyone provide a boot.img or how to go about creating one? I am in same situation (stuck at boot screen) and only have access to fastboot. Thanks.
For which version of rom? I can give you 32.0.A.200 boot.img and twrp recovery.
Are you sure you're clicking volume up when booting? It doesn't work when you hold the volume up button down.
If y'all go to the twrp thread there is a modified boot.IMG that allows booting to recovery now.
That's right. I was a TWRP install and I was without any recovery
I do to install stock again?

I really don't know what is left to do, I always end up with a bootloop and have to repair my phone with flashtool. I have tried flashing twrp by adb/fastboot, temporarily booting to twrp, flashing different twrp files after repair.... I always get boot loop. Help please :/
Once I had my phone rooted by oneclickroot support, then I started to get play store crashed constantly. Once I booted to recovery and when try to reboot, got a bootloop. I tried to flash a new rom, so found a stock rom for Z5C and flashed it by twrp. But after a reboot I lost the twrp recovery this time. Then I tried to flash the recovery myself using abd, following the basics; fastboot flash boot boot.img/recovery recovery.img But I again stuck into a bootloop. Repaired again... I thought flashing a custom recovery breaks the phone, so I decided to just boot the recovery and install supersu. but again a bootloop in the end.
Is your bootloader already unlocked?

I have flashed the lastest stock ftf by flashtool, that is what I do after everytime I brick it while trying to obtain root. And if you mean switching to another user, yes it does.
that's good. it means hardware is fine.
it's your root method.

I've got a SGS4 (I9506) with Cyanogen Mod 13.0 and CWM and I want to switch to LineageOS 15.1 which states I should use TWRP.
1. Does it make a difference whether I use CWM or TWRP?
2. How exactly would I proceed to replace CWM with TWRP?
The only answer I found while searching was to "just use GooManager from the Play Store"...
Thanks in advance
Simple you going to go on twrp and see if a offical twrp exist for your device and if not go on the xda page for your phone and see if any modified twrp bulids exist for your phone and then you flash the twrp image in your recovery and reboot recovery will pop up and now you have twrp I hope this works...

1. It makes difference by not booting into rom when you flash with cwm or older versions of twrp
2. Download twrp from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832239230 .... and flash it with odin..
or extract that .tar and you will find recovery.img then flash that .img with flashify app if you are rooted..
Hope this helps
