install recovery on 5.1.1 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys is there any way to install recovery on z1 5.1.1 on stock without root ?

without root is impossible

yes of course, you must use prf creator and put the relevant supersu and recovery zip files in the respective folders. finally, it will create a flashable.zip file, which you will use with flastool software

Hes using 5.1.1 without root . That means he does not have recovery. How he will be able to flash the flashable Zip from Prf creator when he does not have recovery. So please, understand what hes asking first before answering.
Anyways the answer is NO, You n3ed to downgrade to 4.4.4 or 5.0.2 and root then flash DualRecovery. And look for prerooted 5.1.1 firmwares (flashable zip) then flash to your recovery.

Best way is reading.........
There are alot of prerooted roms avaible in android development section
Well , yes, very nearly helpful. Most of them have recoveries included ( all in ones) and some can't be flashed over older firmwares. So which one would be best?

1. Create a pre-rooted flashable zip using PRFC (using the 5.1.1 FW, latest superSU zip, and the flashable dual recovery zip).
2. Stick that into your internal storage.
3. Flash the 5.1.1 pre-rooted zip through dual recovery.
4. Power off your phone.
5. Use flashtool and flash the non-rooted 5.1.1 FW (while making sure "system" is clicked under the exclude option).
6. Once it's finished flashing, you'll have a pre-rooted 5.1.1.

Does this method also keep the dual recovery intact?

With every flash, allinones or self made recovery will always be overwritten. On z3c we dont have a "static" recovery

Yeah, it keeps dual recovery because you're creating a pre-rooted FW with dual recovery and superSU into it when you create it using PRFCreator, so essentially you're just overwriting the same dual recovery onto your device that already has the same dual recovery.
Short answer, yes. It'll keep dual recovery intact.

Philz Touch recovery img files

Hi guys. My recovery is broken (I don't know why) and want to reinstall it (by sideload or flashtool) but I lost their files. I could not find files in original thread (link is broken) so does anybody can upload flashable zip or img file for flash tool. I need 6.41 and 6.59 version.

[ROM][5.1.1][10.7.A.0.228][C5503][LB]Nordic Combined+Pre-rooted+Recovery

Using PRFCreator, I've just created a flashable zip for the latest stock ROM 5.1.1 (C5503) 10.7.A.0.222 & 10.7.A.0.222 Nordic Combined.
The flashable zip will install the followings:
1. C5503 Generic NCB firmware
2. Pre-rooted using SuperSU 2.49 Beta
3. XZDualRecovery 2.8.23
I've tested it on my ZR originally running 5.02 rooted stock LB ROM. I used TWRP 2.8.7.0 to flash it and I just wiped Dalvik and cache so data partition is untouched.
If you're also using Xposed, boot your phone for the first time, then reboot your phone into TWRP again to flash the official Xposed framework (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811, sdk22). For unknown reason, I need to uninstall and re-install the Xposed Installer to run it successfully.

If you upgrade from 5.02 using this flashable zip, then you don't need to wipe data so your save games can be retained.

Hi already have. Look at his site under dual recovery and beta.
I have stock 5.1.1 (10.7.A.0.222) installed, and the phone is in its original condition after a factory reset, with no root, no unlocked bootloader, etc. What should I do if I want to have root? So far I could only find complicated instructions involving downgrading to older android, etc. Any help would be appreciated.
Is it possible to flash this with flashtool?
I am unable to install it through TWRP, it finishes installing very quickly without any error, but apparently does nothing.

What's your version of TWRP? I'm using the latest version of XZDualRecovery and TWRP should be 2.8.7.0.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
TWRP is from XZDualRecovery 2.8.21.
Its version is 2.8.6.0.
Will try to find a newer TWRP for Xperia ZR.
Actually, the recovery was installed with the whole system image, and I am unable to update it to 2.8.7.0 yet.
I finally managed to update to 5.1.1 with this package by updating the kernel image with TWRP.
Still TWRP version 2.8.6.0 was sufficient.
I try Your zip and not working for my ZR. In CWM i got error with UUIDs ("uuid link to system partition does not exist"). Then I create zip by myself with PRFCreator and all is working fine.

I have no idea why the zip file doesn't work for you guys. But I'm glad you work it out yourself.
I'm on stock 4.4.4, UB, with xzdualrecovery 2.7.... Is it safe to flash this 5.1.1 rom? Or do I need to update the recovery first? Or should I upgrade first to 5.0, then this? Thanks for the help!

Xperia SP - TWRP Recovery problem

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but anyway, to the point. I rooted a Xperia SP with towelroot, checked with rootchecker and it was okay, after that I installed CWM and then flashed a ROM and probably CWM changed to TWRP with the ROM. Then I ran some debloater script the ROM maker had done and forgot to flash gapps (lol), or more like debloater script made the phone to reboot, so I let my phone to reboot and try to go back to TWRP and it just doesn't work... Touches won't get recognized. Also I just noticed that the root is gone. Looking for some help here now. Not so used to this stuff.
Things I've tried:
root again with towelroot, didn't work
flash gapps, didn't work
try to install recovery.img again with adb, didn't work(I just may aswell not know how to use adb anyway)
Ask if more information is needed. Thanks! Hope someone could help me.

1.You should have posted this in Q&A section
2.Never use towel root on lollipop because all ROMs are rooted by default.
To enable root Settings->Developer options->Root access->Apps and ADB
3.Dont try debloater script just yet. Use it when you are settled with ROM working.
4.Now what you need to do is
a.Boot into recovery and flash the latest TWRP zip.
b.Reboot into TWRP and wipe everything(data,cache,system but not external)
c.Flash ROM zip and gapps.
Hope this works:good:

I can boot into recovery but it won't recognize touches so I cannot navigate to anywhere in TWRP. Also where to find latest TWRP zip for Xperia SP, since I am looking at TWRP homepage and there is no 2.8.7.0 for Xperia SP. Otherwise it sounds like I learned something new

Here, use this one:

Please remove the previous TWRP beforehand. If you are not sure on how to do so, can you attach me a link of where you followed the methods?

Since you said TWRP does not recognize touches. Here I present you 2 solutions:
1.Flash stock ftf and start over.
2.Flash FOTA and then flash tangerine kernel with TWRP recovery support via fastboot (v6.3 because newer versions cant be flashed using Fastboot)

Marshmallow root theory

Since we have root on the lollipop version of this device, cant we install flashfirw and get the boot.img and they system.img from the zv9 and create a flashable zip then fuse ether everroot or modify the boot.img before creating the zip and flashing it so we have root with marshmallow.
I meant the zv9 to file
Flashfire requires root

Yeah i know we can use flashfire on the lolipop because lolipop is rootable on our device. Im trying to say that we can make a flashable modified with root marshmallow zip and then flash it via flashfire on lolipop. Like a rom upgrade.
