Hi, i have a Z ultra, and I had installed cm 12 but was tired of cyanogen recovery, so I used an app called rashr to try and flash TWRP, however the device got stuck at the sony logo and is unable to open a recovery, I have an unlocked bootloader and can access fastboot mode, and I tried to flash cwm using the boot.img from a cm11 build in fastboot , however It still wont get into recovery, I know about the hard reset points if you popen the device, however I would like to fix it without opening it!

---------- Post added at 05:50 ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 ----------
And a good Tip:
Do Not flash CM12 because there Are much issues, but I think they fix that with the Lollipop 5.1 update but that needs time
thank you for the fast repose and im sure that would have worked but I just recovered it (verry similarly) using the official Sony flash tool (aka emma) to flash it back to stock, which has worked and I will likely now take it back to cm 11/12 from there

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 have a sony z2 D6503 android 6.0.1 (flash the 6.0.1 so i can force it to update) bootloader unlocked and previusly install xzdualrecovery (for the 6.0.1 force update),
now the after i year from when i install the 6.0.1 i didn't need to access recovery mode, until 1 week ago when i wanted to flash with resurrection remix 7.1.2 nougat, so i try first to access to twrp by hardware button, nothing happen (neither the led notification light turn pink so i can't access to recovery).
Then i try to flash again twrp or any different recovery from adb, and i try again either from adb and manually to access to recovery, and nothing again.
So i install kingroot, root the phone and use quick boot or other app so i can access to recovery from them, and nothing again.
So after that i factory reset the phone (to 6.0.1 because is the only available on my phone since the time that i flash it) and did again evey single step that i mention before.
I read every thread, post forum for everything, adb problem , bootloader, twrp, recovery and other but neither of them help.
In the end i was force to open a thread here so maybe you can help me.
Phone info: SONY Z2 D6503 android 6.0.1 build: 23.5.A.0.570

Flash elite kernel version 3(it is important that it should be version 3) it gas a built-in recovery and it is compatible with stock based rom
And if you want to flash RR rom you should flash boot.img from rom zip and provided recovery in dsired fourm

Hello,
I tried this morning to install a custom ROM for my sony xperia z5 compact. Unfortunately, it remains crashing on the "Sony" screen
I unlocked the bootloader via the official link https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/. Until then no worries, everything worked well.
Then I wanted to install a TWRP recovery via this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/twrp-3-1-0-z5-z5c-z5p-t3571050
I was able to flash it without worries but when restarting, TWRP asked me if I wanted to install the app, I put OK and from there, impossible to start my phone. "always stuck on Sony screen".
this is my config : E5823 / 32.4.A.1.54
I want just to start my phone. Is there possible to put a stock version? thanks
This is very urgent to resolve it unfortunately
Thanks for your help
you can close this subject, problem solved. Thanks
Wanna share how you fixed it?
Yes sure,
I flashed my recovery with the TWRP 3.1.1 posted before with the command "fastboot flash recovery {name_of_file.bin}" and I did a flash of the boot with the good version of boot with the commande "fastboot flash boot {name_of_file.bin}.
I founded the good boot at this address for my version : https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/general/32-4-1-54-coming-t3685995
Hey Guys! I have moto g2 2014 (titan) XT-1068 mobile phone..... I unlocked the bootloader and was even successful in flashing twrp .....but when i go to recovery via bootloader its not opening twrp showing only blank screen and the phone boots again... i tried to flash the twrp in different ways but still no luck!! Hopeful that i get a solution for this issue!

Hi, I'm hoping someone can offer some assistance. I have an Elephone P9000 (normal version NOT lite) that has official Android 7.0 and I want to install LineageOS 14.1.
As per the instructions I used SP Flash Tool to downgrade the phone to Android 6 (Elephone_P9000_20170112) which worked fine.
I then attempted to install TWRP 3.2.1.0 which also appeared to work ok as I could boot into TWRP recovery and all looked good. However when I tried booting the phone normally it stuck at the white boot logo and would not progress any further.
So I reloaded the Elephone_P9000_20170112 rom again with SP Flash Tool after which the phone would boot normally and then tried installing TWRP 3.0.2.8 as I'd seen threads saying that this version definitely worked with the P9000. However this produced the same result that I could boot into TWRP fine but it would get stuck at the boot logo if I tried booting the phone normally.
I have also tried re-installing the ROM but unticking the recovery option in SP Flash Tool hoping that this would leave the working TWRP intact but this didn't work either.
When I try to boot into recovery I get the little Android laying down with a red exclamation mark.
So I don't know where to go now. I can get EITHER Android to boot or TWRP to boot but not both.
Just in case it is relevant, I am using SP Flash Tool v5.1804_Win in Windows 7 32bit. I don't have any SIM's in the phone and no SD card inserted.
Can someone point me in the right direction please.
Thanks
Russell

Thanks very much, that worked fine and AOKP looks really good. When it said install the latest Android v6 it obviously means the previous latest not the current latest
Just in case anyone else is having the same trouble I was:
Using SP Flash Tool load the 20160810 ROM available here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/development/rom-elephone-p9000-20160810-t3445897
Then, also using SP Flash Tool, load TWRP v3.2.1 which is available from here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/p9000/
Then you can use the TWRP recovery to load whichever ROM you like (LineageOS, AOKP etc, etc)
Once again, thanks very much for your help.
:good:
