[SOLVED] [Q] Z1 rooted and unlocked, how to boot to recovery? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed a generic TFT and unlocked the bootloader with Flashtools and rooted the phone with EasyRoot. But I can't figure out how to boot into recovery. Neither by pressing the volume buttons nor by trying to boot into recovery from Quick Boot, ROM Installer or ROM Manager. It just keeps booting normally.
If it's useful:
Android 4.3
Kernel 3.4.0-perf-g8330588
Build no. 14.2.A.1.136
Also, running linux on my laptop.

Have you installed Nuts Dual Recovery? Because EasyRoot dosn't install it...

[Q] Xperia T (LT30P) OTA update problem

Hello,
I rooted my LT30P with a bat program from this site, then i installed CWM. The problem is that I cannot update my phone through OTA because when I tap restart and update, it enters CWM and shows me an error. I think it's because I need the original recovery. Can I get the original recovery back without reflashing my Rom? I just want the original recovery to update my phone, nothing more.
I dont understand what is your probleme exactly but did you tried to use Flashtool ?

I rooted my phone with bin4ry method. Then, I installed CWM for my Xperia T (found in a thread on xda). Now my phones asks me for update, but I can't update because of CWM. Even if I try, it downloads the update package normally and tells me it will restart and install the new update. When it restarts, it enters CWM and tries to flash the new version. After a seconds, a error pops up saying there is a problem etc.. Before I installed CWM, I could update my phone without flashing it from pc and so on. I saw you told something about flashtool. What is it for, and what can I do with it?
Is your Xperia T Unlocked ? If yes Then Install Team Win Recovery 2.7.0.0 with fastboot and Install a Costum Rom you will have a batter version than the officiel

Why would he need to do that? He can flash custom rom from current recovery, he doesn't unlocked bootloader for that. He needs unlocked bootloader only if wants to flash AOSP based rom (CM, OMNI...).

[Q] Unable to boot into recovery to install CWM or TWRP

Hello people.I am a noob to rooting phones.I recently rooted my Sony Xperia ZR running stock rom , Kitkat 4.4.2
I used Towelroot by Geohotz to root the phone and have unlocked the bootloader with the official procedure of unlocking bootloaders
I would like to install TWRP or CWM custom recovery but i am unable to since i cant boot into recovery.
I tried quick boot and the hardware combinations but in vain
build number : 10.5.A.0.230
kernel : 3.4.0-perf-g32ce454
*********
I have now been able to flash the clockworkmod zip using flashify still ahvent been able to get into recovery mode
http://nut.xperia-files.com
Download the latest version for the ZR, and be sure to get the one that has 'installer' in its name. Extract and run install.bat and there you go - the latest PhilZ touch and TWRP. In fact, this is the only way I know of to get TWRP above 2.6.3.0 for the ZR.
The xperia ZR(c5502) is a great phone but a pain in the ass when it comes to finding anything on custom recovery for it. Does the dual boot work on unlocked bootloader cos mine is.

Try flashing recovery .img file with Rashr
You can't install CWM Recovery without a CWM Rom , and I think you can't install locked bootloader on unlocked bootloader, I recommend use Flash Tools and Unlock your bootloader. And Flash a Kernel with TWRP Recovery and Wipe and Flash a CWM Rom (huashan ROM for Xperia SP) after it you get CWM Recovery and TWRP Recovery for extra I recommend use Helium Kernel to do it

I found installing XZDualRecovery very easy. You get TWRP, CWM and PhilZ.
-install supersu from play store
-activate usb debug in developer options
-unzip xzdualrecovery file
-run install program from the unzipped folder
-follow steps on the screen, you will have to grant supersu access on your phone at some point.

Xperia ZR stuck at boot after flashing xposed framework

Hi, I rooted my phone to get xposed working. Now, to get away from unlocking bootlader, I used kingroot to root and got it done. I got the xposed framework zip and flashed it with flashfire.(no recovery). Now my phone is in a bootloop and wont start. Since, it wont boot I cannot connect it to flashtool or no recovery to boot into.
Kindly help me with this if someone has faced similar issues.
You maybe flashed the wrong xposed framework version and you need TWRP recovery to flash it(Recommended).You don't need to turn on your phone to flash stock rom via flashtool.If you already have the stock rom and flashtool then start the flash in flashtool and press and hold the volume down key and connect your phone using usb.This will start the flashing process.After you root your phone using Kingroot,change it to Supersu.kingroot can't give you complete root access.Download and install dualrecovery instead flashfire.
