This device doesn't have a recovery partition, so you can't flash a recovery.img.
You'll need to flash a kernel with recovery included. I suggest Dual Boot recovery with Philz Touch CWM Advanced Edition and TWRP.

That kernel is for the ZL. Don't flash it if you have a Z. Use the kernel I linked to earlier.

1.) if you flash recovery in fastbot you no longer have a rom installed.
2) No need to root if youhave unlocked bootloader, just flash an unsecure kernel.
To fix this, flash my kernel (Follow the link in my signature) then flash the rom of your choice in recovery

How exactly do i flash with unlocked BL

i rooted my phone and backed AT up, then in unloked the BL
now i thought i just install a custom recovery as i did in my DHD to flash roms but it seems they are all just for loked BL
and if they are not you can only flash stock roms??
so how do i for example flash carbon rom on my xperia z? do i use the flash tool and flash the rom the same way i flashed the 423 kernel to root?
and does anybody know where i can get carbon 1.7 the link is broken
For unlocked bootloaders the recovery is part of the custom kernal. So fastboot the kernal IMG contained in the rom zip. Reboot and press volume up and you will boot to recovery. Once in recovery do all wipes and flash the ROM....simple

The fastboot command, for flashing boot.img files is:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

You have flashed a recovery image to your boot partition, so it always boots to recovery. You need to flash a boot image to the boot partition.
But why do you want recovery if you won't flash anything to your phone?
By flashing recovery, you are doing exactly that anyway.
You have an unlocked bootloader, so you may as well flash an advanced stock kernel. It is stock kernel with twrp built into the boot.img. Check android development section.
thank you
since i know that i can't boot recovery without flashing, i have no other option as to flash.
can't i flash it to FOTA partition?
i have 10.7.A.0.222 firmware and need root access but like to do it manually
You can't boot directly to FOTA on XZ. Need modified boot.img or flash twrp to boot (like you did before). Then while in TWRP, flash Supersu.zip to get root. Afterwards flash kernel only in flashtool to get stock boot back

Is your bootloader unlocked?

.236 stock LP rom with Offical Twrp

Can I use the stock rom with the offical twrp?
If I can somebody could tell me how to boot the system because If I install twrp as a Kernel image It can t boot.
in order to use Official TWRP Recovery, you should unlock your Z1 to access the Recovery partition and after that you can do it.

Jeah I know that but i get a message back :tmp-mksh:fastboot: not found . And i tryed to install it with NUT s recovery's twrp but if I install it to FOTAkernel just the recovery boot. Maybe fastboot driver what I should have but I installed that long time ago. Sorry for my english.
in the other side of the coin you should reinstall fastboot and drivers.
