Hey guys,
I recently flashed my Z2 yesterday with the PAC-Man ROM and now want to try flashing other ROMs, but realised that my TWRP has disappeared!
Prior to flashing, I was on stock and used XZDR to flash the ROM, but i didn't flash the "Z2-lockeddualrecovery[VERSION]-BETA.flashable.zip" as I'm on an unlocked BL + custom kernel, which XZDR doesn't support.
I've tried two different methods to getting TWRP installed into my phone, one via fastboot flash recovery and the other via Terminal Emulator, and although the cmd/TE shows the commands and scripts running and all, the recovery does not seem to get installed.
So my question now is how do I get any form of recovery installed into my Z2 (so i can flash a ROM!). I know I can use flashtool to reflash stock firmware and go through the entire procedure again to get recovery and subsequently other ROMs installed, but that doesn't seem to be a sustainable long-term solution!
Thanks in advance guys
Non stock custom roms come with a custom recovery %90 of the time
Press volume up when the orange or purple led turns on when the sony logo shows

Hi,
I've Xperia Pro MK16i, with stock 4.0.4 ROM, boot loader unlocked and rooted.
I really want to install recently released CM9-RC1 ROM but have been unsuccessful probably due to CWM recovery.
I was only able to install CWM auto installer which would only boot into recovery if i do it from within booted stock rom, but not manually when i reboot and try to go into recovery mode. i tried all key combinations like volume key down/up when at reboot sony logo flashes bright and led turns blue for a second.
Nevetheless i tried to install CM90RC1 by following official cyanogenmod instructions in which i failed when the guidelines states to fastboot and flash boot.img extracted from CM9-RC1.zip file and then reboot from fastboot. it just stuck there and would not even flash sony logo.
I relocked the bootloader and installed the stock ROM through Sony PC companion repair option.
Now i have again unlocked the bootloader and rooted. but not sure how to proceed now.
I guessed may be i need custom ROM with CWM recovery builtin. i came across this site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315904&highlight=108
kindly guide me if the link above will help me installing Cyanogenmod ROM and does it come with CWM recovery built in.
Also whats the difference between multiple downloads on the above link like FXP129 and CM9 baseband?
What files do i have to download now, to install Cyanogenmod ROM?
Regards
Hello, I recently bought an xperia Z2 from someone that had it from the french operator Orange.
Running on a heavily bloated lollipop 5.0.2 with a build number of 23.1.A.1.28 D6503 with a locked unlockable bootloader
Being a samsung user all my life, this seems a new territory to me, I first wanted to clean everything up and have it running on CM12, that seems impossible because of the bootloader lock.
Then I failed rooting it and got really confused. the device also doesnt boot into recovery AT ALL
Can you please help me root the hell out of it and clean all the crap that Orange put in it? and also would you please suggest a debloated clean stock rom(kitkat is preferred)
Thank you so much for your time, I'm looking forward for you replies
Use KingRoot for rooting,install BusyBox, then install custom dual recovery with XZRecovery finally flash SuperSU zip with recovery , here's a link for all the files needed http://www.mediafire.com/download/894tuibsb2a75bm/wts.zip
Well, my dear friend, I failed twice doing that, now im running a clean factory reset and going to try again, will let you know
Flash android version 4.4.2, root this version and then flash the firmware of your choice via recovery (make sure it is a prerooted one, that comes in a Flashable Zip form)
As I know, Sony devices doesn't have accessible stock recovery
You can boot into recovery only after installing custom recovery like :
TWRP - CWM - Philiz Touch
If I Helped, Leave A Thanks ?
Ok long story short i'm confused as to what's up with this device. I just picked it up and started messing with it. Looks like it has mako bootloader unlock and cwm 6x recovery installed. The only roms it can flash is cm12.1 and the factory ATT images correctly. I tried to update to the newer version of CWM or TWRP via fastboot and the flash takes but no recovery is present. Things i've tried =
Full factory reset via LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013 (this leaves me with no bootloader/fastboot/recovery) It boots but black screen on bootanimation.
tinybin (both options) only the altern will boot but. (have fastboot but no recovery.)
So long story... In stock firmware I can install freegee and unlock via mako but there will be no recovery if I choose TWRP and CWM won't install anything bt CM... I'm attempting to install Blisspop btw.
Any help would be great. Thank you
I flashed a cm12.1 based rom,and can't install TWRP back.I tried the dd way,It flashed TWRP successfully but when I try to enter recovery I see cyanogenmod recovery.Can somebody please help me?I don't know what to do.
My device is Z3 Compact D5803.
Cheers.
How are you attempting to access recovery? Do you have an unlocked bootloader? Are you using a dual recovery setup? Many Xperia phones have dual recovery options when using custom kernels and you can boot to either depending on the button combo used.
How i can root lolipop stock ROM of lenovo tab 2 a7-10f ?
I have tried kingroot and much more methods, but doesnt support.
I heard people say that lolipop version cant be rooted, just kitkat version which is first ROM. Lolipop is OTA upgrade from Lenovo.
I dont want to flash ROM, i want to use some tools which are available throught root.
I have tried flashing TWRP throught unlocked bootloader (fastboot), when i run command:
fastboot flash recovery c:\twrp.img
It says, done.
But i cant eneter recovery, and i flashed it multiple times, and it says it flashed fine.
But when i use key combination i enter in stock recovery.
And i tried diffrent command (i didnt know that command is bad idea)
fastboot flash boot c:\twrp.img
And i stucked in twrp recovery, it coudnt boot in normal system, because i changed what android should boot.
I extracted from stock ROM, boot.img and flashed it only in fastboot.
And booted normaly, but when i run on recovery, i saw i deleted it's stock recovery.
I was freaked, and i didnt touched anything anymore, i lost stock recovery but i dont care, i care that tab is still alive.
I'm not able to flash anything in any other way that fastboot which is quite scary to use if tab is working good (i dont want to break if something works)
How i can root it.
I have knowledge of adb commands but with all that knowledge i didnt managed to get root to this device, it looks like it's locked in that way.
Lolipop is best, it is very good and accesibile, and i just want to tweak it more with some xposed modules and apps that support root.
