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.

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.
Hey, Im pretty new to xda so forgive me if this is in the wrong forum. I Have a c6606 Tmobile xperia z that i flashed to c6616 4.4.2 then OTA updated it to 5.0.2. I rooted with kingroot root and then did a the method of removing kingroot and replacing it with superSU. I go to install dual recovery from [NUT]'s page and go with option 1, Install rom rooted with superSU. Everything works up until it trys to reboot into the launcher like normal. I can get into recovery but it just wont do a full boot and it goes into a boot loop. I did a factory reset like it said in the tutorial but still boot loop. After trying different flash options with flash tools I'm at a stand still until i can get this fixed. Also one other thing, is it normal to have poor signal after flashing to c6616 ftf? I know someone else mentioned this in a thread but i didnt really see an anwser. Any help appreciated ladies and fellas
HI, i've read that Xperia Z T-Mobile brand have the bootloader locked, and it's not unlockable, you can flash CUSTOM ROM but must have STOCK KERNEL otherwise you get always a bootloop...
Wich CUSTOM ROM have you tried to flash?
i had the same problem with my c6603
1. Just install stock rom ftf
2. Install TWRP Recovery
3. Boot into TWRP
4. Factory Reset & Cache/Dalvic wipe
5. Flash Custom Rom
6. Wipe Dalvic/Cache again
7. Boot into ROM
8. Open Shell
9. Make a clean install of twrp with dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/ ...
Should work
Fixed

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

Your bootloader is locked? If yes, you must unlock it in order to install TWRP via installer.
But, if you want a recovery and bootloader locked, the only solution is to install XZ DUAL Recovery

Hello Xperia ZR users,
I had dual recovery i flashed RR M and RR N rom's in a single day. the next day i restored stock rom which i have backup approximately 5.30 gb it took so much time to boot whole 60 percent charging had been gone so i flashed stryflex mm rom for sony look but again i thought to use stock rom so this time i restored stock backup rom through otg pendrive because my external storage got write permissions problem when i installed stryflex! but now also same happened device taking so much time to boot and i thought to flash rr nougat but i wiped everything through dualrecovery and i removed battery as dualrecovery not showing anything in otg pendrive now there is also no recovery available to flash anything!
Xda user Robin guided me to flash stock rom through firmtool but ended with errors in xperia firmtool log file!
So now i am having black blank screen! no recovery unlocked bootloader! i had installed adb drivers through flashtool drivers and also installed other universal adb drivers but pc is not showing my device in adb devices list in command prompt! My device is showing in Device manager as ADB interface! when i connected my phone through fastboot mode !
Please help me!
SOLUTION : If u are using custom roms and want to go back to stock rom 5.1.1 ?! and while flashing are u experiencing blank screen after a successful flash through flashtool or experiencing any errors in flashtool while flashing?! Well there are two methods to flash stock roms! Successfully!!
Method 1 : whatever the custom rom you are in! Just flash the stock 5.1.1 rom in your phone through flashtool but with other pc! Yes other pc, pc with no drivers installed regarding adb! Try out your friends laptop or pc! Don't forget to install flashtool, fastboot and your xperia model drivers through flashtool drivers exe file! which is located in c drive!! Also install adb setup file that install all drivers all over pc! And just flash the stock 5.1.1 rom through flashtool! There are 99.99999% chance that stock rom will be successfully flashed in your phone! If this doesn't work!! It's your bad luck and its definitely pc problem not your phone! Then just follow method 2 to flash the rom!
Method 2 : flash the twrp img through flashtool (use any flashtool version!) by entering into fastboot mode and select flash the kernel option and select the twrp img file in your pc (i mean u have to download the twrp 3.0.3 img and use it ! ) twrp will be successfully installed in ur phone and then flash the stock jellybean 4.1.2 version the download link is available below! it is an ftf file convert the ftf file into zip file and then flash through recovery! that's it u will be booted to stock jb firmware and it will ask to factory reset on first boot press yes option it will take few minutes and then it will be booted to jb rom!! restore drm keys if u have the backup and update the os through xperia companion!! or else flash the 5.1.1 zip through recovery!
Note: only flash the jb rom i tested flashing kitkat it doesn't worked!

Delta solution
I was also stuck with same error, I Banged my head in all forums with all rookie answers.
Why this problem occurs?
Ans: Because the user has installed Marshmallow or Nougat ROM on Lollipop. Even if you try to
come back on Lollipop stock, it won't accept the TA partition and won't go further (Although CM 10/11/12/13/14 or ASOP 10/11/12/13/14 RR-M/N WORKS without ERROR, but I assume user is hungry for STOCK 5.1.1 LOLLIPOP).
So, what's the solution, either you need backup of your TA partition OR - and if you haven't like me. Nothing to worry. You just need Stock JellyBean ROM (THIS IS IMPORTANT).
My solution will 100 percent work (Its Brahmastra ).
Step 1) download https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384512
Step 2) download flash tool version which is mentioned in the above link , I used 0.9.11. Version 0.9.19.8 is HELL - You will never succeed with this version)
Step3) flash... Even if you encounter error [17] no worries, if no error, still no worries (If you get error after TA partation is done...you are through, if you encounter before TA partition, it is worrisome)
Step 4) fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx69
Step 5) fastboot flash boot boot. Img (twrp or PhilZ recovery) or STEP 8)
Step 5) download customized 5.1.1 by chippa
Step 6) goto TWRP (Recovery) and install customized , NO CMW recovery
Step 7) beer for me, go to STEP 10
Step 8) use flash tool to install C5502_10.7.A.0.222_1273-5765_R1E
Step 9) It boots after 3 sec
step 10) go to step 7 (beer loop mode)
If you go to SONY service centre, those M*F* will say, your screen is damaged, because once you push power button, it vibrates and goes to blank screen.
OR
You have locked your bootloader and you simply need to unlock the bootloader in ( STEP 4 ) and you will start with normal BOOT procedure.
How to unlock the bootloader?
Ans: http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/unlock-bootloader-android-phone-using-fastboot/
OR
Relock bootloader (boot), then unlock bootloader (boot the device)

Ok man thanks for your help! I am really surprised that someone gave me the solution! Well, i think i repaired my device! I don't know exactly what i did was correct or wrong few days before i installed a universal adb driver that repaired the driver in pc although there was an existing adb driver! And then i installed an old adb setup because i found that new adb not works sometime! And then through flashtool ver 0.9.23. something , i flashed the twrp 3.0.3 img by fastboot mode it installed successfully! And then i just flashed a rr nougat rom through recovery. I seen so many errors while wiping and flashing rom and gapps! But phone rebooted successfully! After that i see that selinux is set to enforcing rr nougat rom and i can't go to recovery mode so i same flashed twrp img through flashtool but it only rebooting to twrp i pulled off battery and booted again it was successfully booted to ROM!
Hey! Can i flash customised 5.1.1 through recovery ?! as now i am in nougat !

Yes! you can go back to 5.1.1 by the above procudure
If you want to revert back from RR - N to stock firmware then use flashtool-0.9.18.4 and first flash stock 4.4.4 firmware/ boot then flash stock 5.1.1 firmware.

so i can flash the customised 5.1.1 rom by chippa through twrp recovery, right?
moly.maji , i love u brooooooo with your help what i did was i downloaded a jelly bean 4.1.2 rom and flashed through twrp 3.0.3 recovery by converting the ftf file to zip file (thanks to my other bro xda member robin for telling the info about prf creator pc software tool that converts ftf to zip) and it was successfully booted to jellybean stock rom !
and i am saying to whoever facing to flash the stock rom after updating the device to custom roms to prevent any errors to return to stock 5.1.1 firmware while flashing through flashtool it may be driver related errors in pc or any error just use the flashtool for flashing the twrp img! only by going to fastboot mode and then select flash the kernel option through that select the twrp img that's it within seconds the twrp will be installed in your phone and through twrp recovery flash the jellybean 4.1.2 rom ! i tested flashing kitkat but failed! so flash only jellybean rom!! that's it your phone will boot to jb rom and then if u have backup of drm keys restore and update the os through xperia companion or flash the 5.1.1 rom through recovery that's it !!
my device cant be detected and refused to go into fastboot or Recovery mode
is there any way?
