Try flashing boot.img from any lollipop image rom
(Either @pabx or @Thomas Boot.img file is recommended)
Hope that works.
or install CWM via adb

Flash boot.img via flashtool

[Q] (Q)How to install the official 4.2.2 update with root

Ive downloaded the 4.2.2 official update on my HTC one,When I click install now it goes into TWRP and doesnt allow me to update.
Do I need to flash the custom recovery to update?
and if so will I need to flash TWRP later after upgrading or is there another way?
Can I locate the update file on TWRP and install it ?

You SHOULD have STOCK recovery in order to flash/install the OTA

Search for the stock recovery, download it, flash it with the phone in fsstboot mode.
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename
This should be documented in the returning to stock sticky thread. Or one of the other many similar questions here.

after you are done with the OTA, .... Unlock the bootloader again, and then whichever recovery you like you can go for it..

E: signature verification failed - CM Recovery

Hi all,
I have a bit of a problem here, whenever I try to flash a .zip file in Cyanogen Recovery (CM12) it says: E: signature verification failed. Installation aborted.
Does anyone know how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

I had that issue with the same recovery on a number of zips. Have you considered using another recovery?

Yes I did, noone seems to be able to answer this question, so I'm going to plan B.
I would like to know how I can install TWRP over the CM12 recovery again, because when I flash the TWRP .img file with fastboot, it replaces my whole CM12 Rom.
Could someone explain to me how I can keep both CM12 + TWRP recovery?
Thanks in advance!

It replaces your Rom with what exactly
Try formatting the FOTAKernel either using xperia recovery manager or flashtool and then flash twrp/cwm and report back.

I solved it by using "[ROOT] Rashr - Flash" Tool.It is in google play.

I'll try an old TWRP
Which rom are you on?
try flashing TWRP 2.8.5 the official version and you should be able to boot to TWRP Recover.

Ok, so the ROM by pabx, This rom does not have in built arrangement for TWRP, you will have to compile it on your own.
You will find the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/turorial-add-twrp-to-boot-img-t2951658
and then flash TWRP to Fotakernel first and then flash boot.img
learn something new everyday
could I flash a philz recovery?
I can't find a .zip and can't do "fastboot recovery.img "the philz.img
thanks
I have not tried Philz, so i cannot give you an answer.
you may want to head over to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/z-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2477769
Had the same problem.
TWRP Recovery wasn`t available after I flashed yuga.
Used "TWRP Manager" (only with root) which worked for me even when the app said that the installation failed.After rebooting I was able to enter TWRP again.
SO I installed This and I now have TWRP 2.8.
0! My rom won't boot any more, but who cares I can now install CM!..............I hope
have you tries the hack that oliver has on his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57718351&postcount=2
flash Olivers TWRP to FotaKernal and then from cm recovery flash the hack, reboot and enter recovery and check
I have not personally check but give it a try if you like.

Use Rashr app from playstore to flash twrp or philZ
don't have app store, in fact don't have any gapps as cannot install them in cyogen recovery. when download apk. file get "Cant open" message.

you have to install tangerine if you use lollipop ....go into fastboot mode flash the kernel via fastboot ..reboot and you have twrp or philz
Is it possible that I've lost root? Cause that what root checker says.
P.s. managed to install gapps,will try flashing kernel like suggested tomorrow. Any links on how to do it?
Thanks guys

i have did this from a long time so forgive if it didn't work for you>>> form pc download this zip that i uploaded it for you(https://mega.co.nz/#!y51TmaJR!gSWCWbF_6d3JKbkyjgNzhdfBoKakFvNCCFFvBfRl-cY) extract to C:\fastboot then move the kernel.elf if is it tangerine it will be like this (tangerine.elf)>>>press ctrl+shift on the keyboard and then press open command window here then type: fastboot flash boot (the kernel name.elf) when it's done type fastboot reboot
example: fastboot flash boot tangerine.elf
p.s you have to install the drivers for you phone google it or maybe(Connect your Xperia SP via USB. (Don't forget to enable USB Debugging)
Then run the Software (http://adbdriver.com/downloads/) and choose ur phone, which should be listed in the list.
i hope i helped with this if it didn't work so i'm sorry my friend for wasting your time
good luck :good:
Hi, it's all sorted now.

installed gapps aroma as other packages wouldn't install from cyanogen recovery, then flashed super su also from recovery. after that I was able to install phillz recovery using rashr app from Google store. then from phillz installed tangerine kernel. all good now,
thanks everyone!

Question How to get back stock recovery and use official OTA?

Could someone please share stock recovery and vbmeta?
I'd like to go back to use OTA. Or can you install official updates via TWRP or LineageRecovery?
BTW how to install Magisk? None of custom recoveries can mount partitions or install zip packages.
