Custom recovery for Sony Z Ultra - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

I have searched all over the forum to find a custom recovery for my phone but every recovery is to be 'flashed', I am having a stock recovery. I have my bootloader unlocked. But due to some reason I can't enter it. I don't want to downgrade my phone I am looking weather I can install recovery from computer or I can flash it from some application that provide flashing of zip and recovery files.
I rooted my phone from kingroot(not sure what's the name of that app) and then later shifted to supersu and I installed kingroot.
My phone specifications:
Rooted : yes.
Kernal version: perf-gd26777b-00851- ga8b7b55
Phone model: C6802
Flashed anything before: no
Android: 5.1.1
Let me know if any other details are required.

cheack here the last twrp

Rooting Orange Z2 with locked bootloader

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 ?

you have to DOWNGRADE
Yes bro, like he said, you have to downgrade to get root. Then you flash a pre rooted official MM zip and install recovery via adb.
I have the same problem days ago, no way to boot into recovery. I fix it by flash the custom kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-t3347413
must have bootloader unlocked. this custom kernel will make sure the recovery in FOTAKernel work.

Can Someone Please help to install TWRP and root my Xperia Z2

Good Morning Everybody! i own a SONY Xperia Z2 (D6503) running on Android Marshmallow with build number 23.5.A.0.570 and the bootloader is unlocked.
I tried everything to install TWRP and root it but nothing worked for me. I really would like to be able to install TWRP, root it and install custom rom on it. I need for help for that.
Thanks In Advance!
This worked great for me on lollipop. Try flashing this: https://kernel.andro.plus/shinano.html HOWEVER it doesn't show marshmallow as supported so you may go back to lollipop before flashing or go for it and if it bricks use flashtool and fix er up.
Degrade to android 4.4.2
2 root using flashtool
3 install recovery http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/XZDualRecovery_2.8.26
4 flash pre rooted stock firmware
5 Reboot

Flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-t3347413 . It's based on stock .570 kernel with twrp 3.0.2. Don't wory, if you don't like the kernel, you can still flash other kernel after you flash this. Twrp will remain the same unless the other kernel also come with it's own custom recovery.
You can try to root with KingRoot
Download apk and click the root button. Thats all for rooting.
Once you are rooted you can install twrp with the TWRP Manager App which you can get from the Google Play Store
this works 100%
twrp recovery
root
optional xposed

I can confirm that rooting Marshmallow in KingRoot app works. At least It worked for me. I was able to install TWRP Recovery after that. And then you have to Flash SuperSU package BUT it has to be System mode version, normal version will fail flashing every time on 6.0.1. I have locked bootloader.

How did you flash twrp?
My Z2 is Marshmallow 6.0.1 with Build No. 23.5.a.1.291 and still locked bootloader.
Kingroot doesn't work (nor do any of the popular 'one click' solutions) and when it fails it reveals that are already 3000 requests submitted for a compatible version.

I rooted my old xperia z2 a few weeks back (from Marshmallow to Nougat)(No need to go back to lollipop). Kingroot didn't work for me either. So here's what i did.
1. Download Flashtool. http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
2. First flash a custom kernel. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx1QvE4qnmn6dlFrdVA0d0lYZ0k/view
3. Unlock bootloader (official sony method). https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
(You may need to download some files and drivers like adb driver. Follow the instructions carefully)
4. Install TWRP app from google play or download and flash using Flashtool).
5. Download any custom rom and copy to sdcard.
6. Enter recovery mode (hold power button, release it when mobile vibrates. As soon as sony logo appears press volume up button about 10-15 times, TWRP recovery should show up).
7. Perform steps like wiping cache etc. and install the rom (Make sure the rom is compatible with xperia z2, coz we have to delete the stock rom before installing the custom rom, and if then the custom rom doesn't
work, then you will have to flash the stock rom and start all over again.)
That's it.
I succeeded with my D6503 yesterday and posted about it here.
I tried your method of launching into recovery but it doesn't work for me and when you think about it having to press the vol button some indeterminate number of times doesn't sound like much of an official procedure either.
After much trial and error I finally came up with this which works every time.
Press and hold the power button until you get the green light (be patient). You'll get a vibrate and the Sony logo on the screen but keep holding.
When you get the green light, and without letting go of power, immediately press and hold the down vol button until the light turns purple, then release both.
The phone will boot into TWRP.
Perfect!
Finally! I tried many methods, many times, and finally I come up on this and it worked PERFECT! Thanks so much!

i want to return to stock recovery and rom and then go to 5.1.1 and get it rooted

but i cant remember how to install stock rom with twrp or how to remove twrp to go stock
i updated to latest twrp and tried to install cygon 13 i get error booloader unknown?
im on stock 5.1 how do i root?
kingroot is the DEVIL it rooted my phone but installed enough junkware to choke a horse, or a MT2 in this case so i reinstalled stock
i fastboot installed recovery it shows it installs it i calick fastboot reboot and try to get into the recovery i just installed and NOTHING i cant get in it
incase anyones wondering i unlocked the bootloader like first day i got it and it shows as "unlocked" so i think bootloader is still unlocked
Stickies in the general forum are your friend. There are a couple of posts in there that will explain how to get to stock ROM then install TWRP and use it to root.

Sony z2 can't access twrp or any kind of recovery mode that was installed

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
