Go onto your computer and re-install xzdualrecovery you should have it. Then go into twrp recovery and flash the pre rooted zip found in the z3v Android Development section.

Hi,
I unlocked my bootloader, flashed boot.image and CM snapshot 12 and then after setting up my phone I tried installing TWRP 2.8 with that stupid TWRP Play Store app.
NOW i cannot get into bootloader OR recovery with neither the bootmenu nor adb commandline nor the Volume+- on reboot...
PLEASE HELP me get TWRP 2.8 on my device... OR get me back into Recovery... I'm going crazy here
Turning off the phone and using the volume buttons after turning it on, gives me a black screen with an orange LED for recovery. How do I fix this.
PLEASE, there must be someone out there that can help me get recovery back???

No. Flashing a FTF restores the entire device to a factory state.

Hi, I'm kind of a noob, so sorry if this is a dumb question.
I just installed the new Lollipop Fimware on my Z2, using Flashtool. Now I want to root the device, but reading through articles on XDA or XperiaBlog, they all said you need to use older firmware. So my question is, can you root the Z2 with Lollipop?
I'd be grateful for helpful answers.

Things needed:
PC, fastboot driver, know how to boot to bootloader(fastboot mode) and recovery mode
Now you can without having old kernel (not firmware)
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v10-t2974841 extract boot.img from the zip file.
Boot your phone to fastboot mode and in command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Go to recovery mode after restarting and then get UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and flash it via newly installed TWRP recovery.

Same here. I'm a noob wanting to learn how to root. But this went over my head :/
Would using PRF creator work? If you bundled the lollipop firmware with supersu.zip and flashed it would it give you lolipop with root? Because this is what i did to update to 4.4.4 with root. For anyone that doesnt know PRF creator is a program which combines 3 files which is are firmware of your choice, a superSU.zip and a recovery.zip. It combines them into a .zip that you can flash in recovery and have the firmware with superSU and a custom recovery on it.
I have a locked bootloader and mines rooted, do you want me to say how?
If its on lollipop, i would very much like to know how.
Isn't this the exact same answer as rooting 4.4.4?
Downgrade to 4.4.2
Root
Install recovery
Install rooted lollipop zip in recovery
If you don't understand this or the method posted above don't root. Also, if.you can't google things like fastboot to understand what it is don't root.

Bootloop
Everything was fine, till i tried superSU. Twrp flashed it fine, but then when i tried to reboot, the device got stuck in a bootloop.
wipe cache/delvik also didnt help.
I have a new z2, then unlocked the bootloader, and then got the Norway rom using xperifirm.
Norway rom installed fine. twrp installed fine. But i am facing a bootloop now that i have flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Anybody else face this issue?

try wiping just "Dalvik Cache" and restart again. I have also face similar strange issue when I was using FlashTool a couple of times.
If that doesn't work try normal wiping from TWRP and install firmware using FlashTool.

I'm no Android/Lollipop/Rooting expert but using an unlocked boot loader I was able to root Lollipop (23.1.A.0.690 ) easily using the kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ot-stock-flashable-kernel-23-1-0-690-t3061816
My steps were:
1. Install Lollipop
2. fastboot flash boot boot.img (to install above mentioned kernel with TWRP recovery)
So far so good.
PS: To use fastboot you'll likely need the drivers from flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/index.php) and if on Win 8.1 you'll need to search for instructions on how to install unsigned drivers.

i'm trying to update my phone to .575 and cant enter recovery, anyone knows if i'm doing something wrong???
thank you in advance
Odin is for Samsung. There is no Download mode in Sony and you can't root Marshmallow, at least not permanently. My favorite method involves downgrading to 4.4.2 and using the Xperia Z Dual Recovery (XZDR) which temporarily roots to install a recovery. After that you can install a prerooted .zip
PS Sony is NOT Samsung!

Hi Guys,
I've got a SGP511 WiFi only (castor_windy), with root access and an unlocked bootloader. but to install AOSP 7.1 I need to update my version of TWRP to 3.0.0.
I installed TWRP via TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26 batch file and can access recovery but every time i select install look at my SD card and change to images and select the castor_winsy 3.0.0 image i dont get an option to install to recovery i only get kernel how do i resolve this ?
I have re flashed FW (KitKat) via flashtool loads of times
rooted
installed TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26 batch file
and every time i get the same option.... cant flash to recovery or boot only kernel
i have attached a screenshot so that nobody thinks i am going mad
can you please help me thanks :fingers-crossed:
It's been a while since I used TWRP 2.8.XX...so no idea what's the issue there but I'd just flash TWRP recovery via fastboot. Worked for me without any problems :good:

Hi ... Is that using the ADB fastboot recovery TWRP.img?
I am on KitKat just wondering if that's why it won't work have you got to be on 6.01 ?
Well, actually it shouldn't matter on which Android version you are, but to have the latest boot.img and radio.img installed I'd flash the latest stock ROM available here on XDA which means by the way having TWRP 3.0.2.0 as well and after that you might be ready for AOSP 7.1
Just have look at kulvertti's thread in the "General" subforum. Since you have already intalled a custom recovery there shouldn't be any problems.

Hi there,
I realised that after the latest Resurrection ROM update that Magisk Manager was not installed anymore. I went to install and I need to get into TWRP to flash it. However, the Fastboot app I downloaded now says that the app doesn't have root permission. I am then stuck in a loop where I need to access TWRP but I cannot anymore.
What am I missing? I believe it may have to do with the fact that Magisk is not running - but I cannot install it unless I get into TWRP - if not mistaken?
My understanding is that you cannot go into recovery mode by holding on + on this tablet - am I correct?
Thanks!
Tony

There is no stock recovery on Sony devices like TabZ. You'll have to install one bundled with kernel or a separate one, to use TWRP.

Hi there,
My Z was on Resurrection already and I could get onto TWRP by using one of the many fastboot app and select "reboot to recovery". After the last update, I lost that ability, those apps say the device is not rooted.
Sorry for not being too familiar with the procedure: what do I need to install now? I am kind of confused, the device is/was rooted already and TWRP was already installed. Are you suggesting that when I flashed the updated ROM I lost TWRP?
Thx
Edit: I've got in! Trick is: power on, wait for the purple light and click VOL+ ONCE. I'm in TWRP now. THank you.
