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)

Hi guys,
I flashed eXistenZ v4 black rom to my XZ 6602 using CWM from lockeddualrecovery 2.6.0 but i lost Recovery after installation, tried to install the same recovery again but it doesn't recognize the rom although it's based on stock 4.2.2.
Is there any other way to gain recovery??..I am kind of new to all this stuff so i hope someone can tell me how to fix it.
thnx anyway.

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:
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

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.
Hi all. I rooted via towelroot ages ago and some how I installed the 3 recoveries twrp Cwm and another I can.t remember. But I didn't do it on laptop. I have no pc which is why use towelroot for root.
But on here only says use doomlord kit or download recoveries and.write some code in terminal emu for recovery
I did not do any.of that I think I downloaded a rom or.a set of recoveries that just worked for.some reason. I can't.remember.
Installed custom rom. And messed about got brick fixed.rerooted but now can't get recoverys again
Can anyone help me get recoveries on stock rooted c5303 Xperia sp
Thanks you guys
Oh,yeah. Apparently flashify and other flashing apps installed recoveries but can't boot into recovery I read up & it's cos stock 0.205 firmware thing.
This is how I bricked my sp I tries installing kernel through one of the apps supposedly meant to be able.to do it but it failed wouldn't boot had to go friends download flashtool 205 global ftf and. Flash it.
Now just stock and.rooted via towelroot. Sd says Cwm folder is there as I.delete it reboot and Cwm.folder is.back???? Weird I can't.boot no recovery
Thanks for reading
Nobody got any ideas? Input, thoughts anything???

You read everything? This will not work.
I did once but Idk how put recovery on stock kernel.
Apparently it.doesn't work I used rom manager.for recoveries it says they are.installed..but can't.boot into recovery. Tried.flashing kernel got brick Sony so fixed via flashtool re rooted via towelroot now.stuck again. No recoverys. And.rom manager doesn't do anything.neither does flashify. Or other apps.meant for this purpose. Idk y they don't work. They just don't.
So in future please read and.understand before telling me an app I already know doesn't work ( for me person)
Thanks
Hey guys,
After hours and hours of searching forums and trying things, I decided I need help.
I just bought a Z1 (yes, they're still for sale) and I wanted to update the firmware to the newest .283 lollipop. Also, I want to root my device.
I have rooted Android phones before, and I have some experience flashing Custom ROMs etc.
As I have understood I have to downgrade to a 4.4 ROM first, to get root. Then my plan was to install recovery and install .283 Pre-rooted ZIP in Recovery.
So here's what I did:
-Flash 14.1.G.1.534 firmware
-Root using KingoROOT
-try to install recovery
-boot into recovery
-install pre-rooted .283 Lollipop ZIP
-phone won't boot anymore.
I am still able to flash the newest .283 with the FTF file, but then obviously it's unrooted. I also cannot figure out how to flash recovery after flashing .283 FTF. (Flashing recovery seems to work, but I cannot enter recovery via adb or otherwise)
So if anyone can tell me what I am missing, please do!
for what i know the ftf files can't be prerooted. so download a prerooted zip file and install it from a recovery. btw if u're gonna try any custom rom, don't forget to backup your drm before unlocking bootloader. That's a must for xperia devices
Thanks. However, I can't get Recovery to work after flashing Lollipop firmware. And when I downgrade and then flash the ZIP from recovery, the phone won't boot.
I succeeded! The steps that led me to this result:
-flash KK 14.4.A.0.108 in Flashtool
-Root the firmware using Flashtool/SuperSU method
-flash Recovery using Dual Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647487)
-Flash the Pre-Rooted ZIP in Recovery
-Success!!
