[Q] install CWR To sdcard - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My question is if is possible install a recovery in sdcard or from flashtool.
For all user that as me lost recovery and root upgrading firmware.. 4.3 to kk For example.. Only solution is return to 534 and restart all.. But with external recovery or one dual boot... Maybe is impossible for LB.. Im not a dev.. This is only one idea

No,
Just do what you said in the post. no need for unlocked bootloader at all.

So.. Nothing for LB.. As a Sd bootable CWR..

No recovery has to be in the system or in the kernel.
But you have already given yourself the solution,
downgrade to 534, install dualrecovery, flash SuperSU, install the KK prerooted rom, done.

[Q] Custom rom w/out unlocking bootlader?

So Nexus One is 2.3.4 and rooted with CWM installed via Rom Manager. Is it possible to install a custom rom without unlocking the bootloader? Thanks for the help in advance!
ofcourse yes. since u already hv cwm installed u can just download a gb custom rom (.zip) to sd card. boot into recovery. wipe all partitions and then install rom (.zip)
thats it

I am doing that for HyperSense Nova (2.3.3) and the rom installs successfully, but I get stuck on the "X" start up screen. I wiped and cleared all partitions. Any idea of what may be causing this?

You can't flash hypersense ROM on stock partition. And without unlocking the bootloader you can't flash custom hboot. Read instructions on the OP.

But why would you need TWRP when you have CWM?
Sent from my C5303 using xda premium
I like the UI of TWRP. Moreover the CWM doesnot recognise sd-ext2 partition of my sdcard. I cant backup my sd-ext2 partition with CWM. Maybe TWRP will recognise it..

what did you do to gain recovery again?
Try using the apk from here to install TWRP - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190936
Then reboot to that recovery and flash the XZ Dual Recovery zip available in [NUT]'s thread.
Finally, you should follow instructions carefully next time you install a rom. It clearly says to flash the dual recovery zip after flashing the rom and before rebooting

I tried ZXRecovery and it installed but it's not booting into recovery to flash the NUT one, just rebooting the phone.
i guess i am gonna have to go back to stock, re-root, re-flash the rom and flash the recovery before rebooting
that's what i get for not paying attention to details.
thnx anyway buddy i appreciate it.:good:

[Q] problem with kernel and recovery on xperia z

I unlock the bootloader on my xperia z and then I rooted newest firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244 by following the instructions from hire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405 . And everything worked as it should. Than I instal recovery and android 4.3 from hire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354328 . Then the problems started, I tried to install app via recovery, but android did not want to boot. I decided to go back to 4.2 with 10.3.1.A.0.244 kernel, but it was no longer possible to root the phone and every time when I install recovery android will not to boot. Is there any idea about my problem. Sorry for my english
Do you want to stay on 4.2 or 4.3, just flash the kernel you need via fastboot or flashtool then that will give you a recovery to then install custom roms. As you are on a unlocked bootloader it is a lot easier to root just search for supersu cwm installation and that will root your device.

I want to stay on official 4.2 but to be rooted, i will try your advice. thanks
Okay then we'll look for doomlords stock kernel with cwm take the boot. Img out if that and flash in flashtool, then load up your phone and enter cwm. Flash rom you need (a lot of Roms are pre rooted. If not then once loaded new rom install supersu zip and there you are done. Kernel with cwm, custom rom and rooted device

Root with recovery

Hi all. I recently reverted back to a stock rom 757 I flashed the ftf using flash tool. However I still have twrp working (bootloader unlocked) is it possible to root using the Recovery by flashing a zip? Instead of having to install a whole new rom?

The recovery is in your kernel not in the system partition, that's why you kept recoevry
You are rooted
In order to have a superuser app to manage your root rights just flash SuperSU.zip from chainfire (Google it)
