Hi guys,
I just saw about new Xposed frameworks for Lollipop and excited, I tried to install zip from recovery.... Without success!! I saw somewhere here that CM Recovery have some problem with zip file. If it's true, and there's not solution, what I can do? I must flash new recovery?
Thanks for help

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

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.
Hi,
Well, I do have one recovery - cyanogen recovery, all others are gone.
With cyanogen I can't flash gapps or tangerine kernel,so I need my old ones back.
How it happened? Flashed FlexOS,after reboot they were gone, replaced by cyanogen recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

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?

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.

thanks everyone!

Of course I know, but I prefer having more functions. I think it is easy to unlock the bootloader, but there is not any 3rd party recovery available. Maybe I should wait until update to 6.0

So, use it at your own risk

BTW, if someone can provide me the hosd file, I can decrypt the RUU file and make stock ROM

Maybe you should modify the boot image by yourself
1. flash the stock boot image that you've backup
2. flash the superuser.zip that provided in this thread in TWRP recovery

Through any recovery is the most easy way, but you have to unlock bootloader first.
Do you even know what it does?

Then just flash the .zip file via TWRP. Simple. Of course you'll need a ROM compatible with helium otherwise you'll be stuck in a bootloop.
Also goes without saying that you should take a nandroid backup via TWRP first in case something goes wrong.
Edit : When you say you have TWRP, is it part of your current kernel or you flashed it in your FOTA kernel partition via Rashr or something? If its the former then flashing Helium would overwrite TWRP and you could wind up without a working recovery cause I don't think Helium comes with any. Might want to flash TWRP in your FOTA partition with Rashr before you proceed.

If you're gonna flash stock firmware via Flashtool then your FOTA recovery will be wiped out. How are you gonna flash TWRP & Carbon LP rom when you don't have a recovery in the first place?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-touch-recovery-t3309938
The recovery from the above thread is flashable but you still need an working recovery on your device to be able to do it right? What you can do it use the fastboot bootable image and install whatever you want if you're gonna go stock.
Actually you only need Rashr if you wanna stay stock but still want a working recovery.

I guess I couldn't explained my situation well. I installed carbon rom just now, and flashed gapps. I didn't check if carbon comes with a recovery but if it comes, I'm going to flash adrian dc's twrp through stock recovery. That's what I'm asking, is there a difference between using rashr to install twrp or flashing through recovery.

Carbon provides CM recovery. Flash TWRP only through recovery, don't use Rashr.

The recovery that comes with Carbon is most probably Cyanogen recovery which will not let you flash unsigned zip files like custom kernels & roms, SuperSU, Xposed, etc.
Its the reason why people install a recovery in their FOTA partitions because installing new kernels or roms (which include their own kernel) wipes out the previous recovery since Xperia phones esp older one's like ours don't have a separate recovery partition - the recovery is part of the kernel so it gets replaced by whatever came (or didn't) with the new kernel or rom. Atleast that's how it works to the best of my knowledge.
With fastboot, you could boot the device into TWRP recovery using the twrp-3.0.0-rX-boot-huashan.img file and the command "fastboot boot *filename*.img". This way its just temporary and doesn't permanently flash anything. Once in the recovery, flash the rom, kernel, recovery and you are done. That's how I did it on my Mi4i though you might want to confirm but since the description next to it says fastboot bootable, I guessing it works on the same principal.
Edit : If the kernel creator says no Rashr then its no Rashr.

Wait hang on, CM recovery lets you flash custom zip files now without moaning about file verification? Since when?
Yes that's why I asked him to temporarily boot up with the TWRP img and then flash whatever he liked from it but hey if you can flash stuff via CM recovery now then that's one less step to worry about.
Also why no Rashr? I haven't used it in a while that's why I am asking.
