[Q] stock 4.2.2 - how to root ?

Can someone please help with this ?
I'm want to flash the stock recovery in order to receive the 4.2.2 OTA update (currently I have the stock 4.1.2 + root + TWRP + S-OFF)
Can someone guide me please, what stock recovery do I need to flash and where should I grab it from ?
I've found only this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158763
Not sure if is the right recovery but the download link from there is broken
Any idea if I need to be S-OFF or ON in order to receive the OTA ?
That's old thread. Run either a ruu or Mike's stock. Be sure u have stock recovery as well.

where can I have the stock recovery ? (I can't find it)
- Ok after a lot of digging around I've found a stockrecovery.img file , so I've flashed that like this: fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
- the spooky part after doing this was that I was unable to enter into recovery anymore , the screen alway remained in Entering Recovery and that was it ... maybe someone explain why ?
- then I've locked the bootloader like this: fastboot oem lock
- then I've installed a RUU for Europe (also found out here after diggin around) which actually downgraded my firmware to an older version
- after downgrade I've received an OTA update to a newer firmware - did that
- then after I've received the 4.2.2 OTA update , finaly
- then I've performed a bootloader unlock
- then I've flashed a TWRP recovery image in order to root the device
Now here comes the issue, after flashing the TWRP recovery image, while entering into the TWRP recovery I'm not able to click on any menu , is like the touch screen does not take any input so I'm unable to install the SU binaries
Has anyone encountered this issue ?
How did you root your stock 4.2.2 device ?
Reflashed the CWM recovery (instead of TWRP) as somebody recommend it and it worked - now I have root, too.

Hi there,
i have the exact same problem, the screen wont register touches. How do i reflash CMW? im a noob
You are going to flash it in the same manner you did with the TWRP.
You put your phone into fastboot then issue a command like :
fastboot flash recovery cwm_image_name
You should search for a cwm recovery image file.
And you need to have the bootloader unlocked
After update to 4.2.2 TWRP wont recocnize touch due to the driver update.
Here is a modified version of TWRP where touch work with 4.2.2 OTA
Download and rename it to howdoyouwant.img then
fastboot flash recovery howdoyouwant.img
fastboot erase cache

[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.

[Q] Can't Install CWM Recovery on Xperia SP

I have this ROOTED XSP .205 with LOCKED bootloader and I was trying to install CWM recovery by following a procedure that was only for Locked Bootloader Xperia Sp but I couldn't install it.
First in the cmd it was giving
'can't find specific path'
Then I found out that I needed to extract that zip file to C: that I did and after that im getting,
'You've selected Xperia SP, let's go"
And it is stuck on that, getting nowhere.
Im a newbie so not have much idea if someone can help that'd be a life saviour, please.
Have u tried again after restarting the computer and phone??
I am also trying to do so but stuck on *daemon started successfully*
After that cmd window stuck there. So any one have answer please let me know.

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

hello can you help me with somehting i am on android 4.3 in xperia sp yesterday i have deleted my prima files by mistake can you upload them for me from your phoone
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.

Not able to go in recovery mode even when the flashing by TWRP recovery successful!!!

Hi guys,
I want to flash this ROM>> [ROM][LB/UB][LP 5.1.1 .228][ v5.0.3 ] CustomiZed Sony 5.1.1 | The Fully featured ROM!.
About my phone:
I have Sony Xperia Z C6603 with customized Indian firmware 5.1.1 i.e. 10.7.A.0.222.
Bootloader unlocked? = NO
Bootloader unlock allowed? = NO
Root status = YES, rooted by kingroot
Busybox installed!!
So I wanted to flash that firmware to my xperia Z. This is my first time of flashing firmware. I know how to flash from recovery mode, but now I am stuck on recovery. I am not able to go in recovery. I tried several method to go in stock recovery like pressing volume up or down key while booting but nothing helped. Then I tried TWRP recovery. I flashed recovery, it downloaded the recovery and flashed. Even I got message that recovery flashing successful. Then when it asked would you like to reboot and try to go in recovery? Yes. Then it rebooted like normal. No recovery, nothing!! Now, the recovery status in TWRP recovery is saying custom recovery is not installed, that I installed before reboot. I tried direct flashing the zip rom from the app (they have a option to flash roms). I checked to wipe cache, dalvik and again it rebooted as normal. Nothing!!
Please help me to go in recovery mode!!!
Thanks

No sadly But you could fix your recovery http://nut.xperia-files.com/go here then
XZDualRecovery --> XZDualRecovery 2.8.23 --> XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip and download it to your pc, unzip the file and execute the install programm then follow the instruction ( in order to do this you must have Supersu)

you cant boot into stock recovery, you cant do anything with stock recovery. So you need a custom one like TWRP or Philz Touch.
Ok now that this is settled, did you move to Supersu?
If not follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/tutorial-how-to-root-add-recovery-method-t2342120
