Advice for creating recovery partition...please! - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hey....bought a refurbished bootloader unlocked Ultra 6806 on latest software, ...and my old tried and tru efforts at getting TWRP fail apparently because I lack the recovery partition.
Can anyone direct me to a kernel/.img link that would do that for me.
Am I asking the right question?!
Thanks

I think you mean c6806
If bootloader is unlocked. Cool
Just flash kitkat ftf with flashtool. And do dual recovery.
Or just try philz recovery try flashing it with rashr

Flash 4.4 correct? Still couldn't install TWRP on rooted kitkat. 'lack of recovery partition'.

As stated if your bootloader is already unlocked. Use flash tool and flash a kitkat ftf. Once on kitkat root it, and install nuts dual recovery.
Or you could just root and flash .IMG with recovery which will do all the work.

When on kitkat and rooted use rashr and flash this

Its 100% safe but I'm not responsible if you mess up.

Why are you sending him back to KK? If his bootloader is unlocked, he can just go ahead and flash TWRP/CWM/Philz through fastboot/flashtool/QuickIMG/installer. That's the whole point of having an unlocked bootloader.

If you are on the latest software, then the recovery partition should already be there.
The problem that you are probably experiencing is in finding a recovery that is compatible with the partition, the TWRP images over at TWRP.ME are not.
Saatvik Shukla has posted a build of TWRP 2.8.7.0 which can be installed into the partition using the FASTBOOT FLASH RECOVERY [filename] method and can be found at the link below.

I only needed to turn testsigning off, then reboot on my W10 pro computer. YMMV.

Rebooting again resets testsigning to on. The driver will continue to work as long as the system don't touch the driver.
If windows trying to update the drivers from microsoft driver catalogue. It might happen that this driver will be forced off because the lack of a signature.
A trigger for this would be if you plugin in a new hardware such as a brand new usb stick or hard disk or whatever you might want to use.
