I'm currently using TWRP and Resurrection Remix and I'm very, very happy with that setup. Will flashing the factory Marshmallow image wipe out my TWRP recovery? Is there a root method for Marshmallow? How can I put TWRP back in after updating to Marshmallow?
If you don't flash recovery.img, just the other portions with fastboot, it won't get rid of TWRP.
In the Newbie thread, on the last few pages the new details for rooting MM is posted.
If you flash all partitions you can get TWRP back by downloading the latest versions and flashing via fastboot.

You should read the threads about installing custom recoveries and rooting in the general section.
TWRP 2.7.1.1 is wayyy to old, you should use TWRP 3.0.0.0 when you're flashing things in marshmallow.
And you should give more info, which version of superSU did you flash?
There is only one beta version which is able to root marshmallow without a modified Boot.img, it's BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.

Flash twrp 3.0.0.0 ( https://dl.twrp.me/titan/ )and then the BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651, you can try to flash the beta superSU above with your old recovery but it's not recommended. Your choice but then change recovery afterwards.

Ok thanks, I did actually find out twrp was an old version so I flashed a lollipop 5.0.2 Titan rom to escape the bootloop, then rooted with Kingroot(I was lazy to install SuperSU) then installed the latest version of twrp.
It's actually my first time attempting rooting and unlocking the bootloader, so yea at least I learned something from this. :good:

Good to hear that you fixed your problem. One thing: Don't use Kingroot.
It's a very unstable way to root your device and a suspicious app.
Just flash superSU, it's stable and easy to do and it doesn't send data to unknown sources. Just an advice.

I have managed to root, install a custom recovery and unlock the bootloader.
I'm currently trying to install cyanogenmod 13.0 6.0.1 but whenever I flash the boot.img I extracted from the rom I get a bootloop?
What are the procedure from updating from KK to MM?
It's been a while since I owned a Sony Xperia help a brother out :good:
Don't flash boot img.Just Do wipes and flash the rom.
4.3 is jellybean(jb)
If you're using stock firmware 4.3 jellybean.. Then you need first to unlock your bootloader then root your phone using towel root or any other root app. after that you can fastboot boot.img or twrp.img to boot to recovery and flash cm13.

You should flash TWRP 3.0.2 with Flashtool (via Fastboot option on Flashtool).
After flashing, power up your phone and boot to twrp.(if the flash was successfull, it boots to the twrp automatically).
Then Wipe system+data+dalvik cache+cache from TWRP.
Flash the CM13, flash Gapps.
Enjoy!

For OTA updates you need stock recovery
Or download the full rom and flash thorthrough twrp
Yes i agree. You need one of the above mentions. Either you should have a stock rom or flash the whole firmware update version.

Is it OK to switch between Android 6 and Android 7 in TWRP 3.0.2.0 backups?
I would like to use both Androids on my phone until Xposed will be ready for Nougat, but I'm afraid of file structure, partitions and so on.
Both Androids are rooted and no encryption.
Restore backup of Android M won't mess with Nougat will it?

No problem provided u have N bootloader to use N ROMs. N bootloader is backward compatible. Nutty Nexus thread has link to latest N bootloader and radio combined in one zip to be flashed in TWRP 3.0.2.0 before flashing N roms

Thank you for your answer.
I'm going to update from ADB (factory image):
1 fastboot flash bootloader
2 fastboot flash radio
3 fastboot restart-bootloader
4 fastboot flash boot
5 fastboot flash system
6 entering twrp recovery from bootloader
7 flash SuperSU (root and no encryption)
TWRP doesn't backup BL or radio?
Why not use MultiROM so you can actually switch between them and not wipe/restore all your partitions each time you want to switch back and forth? I think it should work between MM and N so long as the kernels in each ROM are kexec patched.

TWRP only backs up \system, \data, \boot, \recovery, \EFS (\cache also but who cares)
You could flash like that but you could also just flash debloated N rom from tupac4u or DanvH straight from TWRP (after flashing N bootloader and radio zip).
Multi-rom can be tricky for Noobs
EDIT: Here are the useful links: N radio and bootloader in 1 flashable zip in TWRP by RatchetPanda: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312978532265362066
Here is tupac4u latest debloated N rom:

(needs MEGA app to download or use "desktop" emulator on mobile browser to download)
Long time ago, I switched to CM12.1, and I figured I would give a try to CarbonROM (Lineage = CM's successor and I used CM and didn't like it much, omnirom = too new and probably buggy, carbonrom = still maintained and "older").
Here's what I did so far:
- downgraded to 23.0.A.2.93 (4.4.4) (flashed ftf with flashtool)
- rooted it using giefroot 3.1
- installed twrp using another tool with an installer (http://nut.xperia-files.com/)
- then upgraded to pre-rooted version of .291 D5803_23.5.A.1.291_1289-7524_R5D_PreRooted_RecRoot_v4_SuperSU_276.zip, which comes with TWRP 3.0.2.0 (did that using twrp I had just installed)
Then my plan was to upgrade directly to CarbonRom by flashing from TWRP, but it gives me the error 7, so I figured I'd just upgrade TWRP but:
- tried upgrading TWRP (followed instructions here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/d5803-z3c-aries-twrp3-0-t3543113), using lineage or omni recovery: will flash "successfully" with fastboot, but when I actually go into recovery mode it's the same old twrp version
- tried flashing the img directly from old twrp version, both recoveries, and same results: when I reboot to recovery, it's the same old version.
I'm therefore stuck right now and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, nor how I could work around this issue.
Installed twrp 3.1.1 from zip, which allowed me to install Carbon.
Still trying to figure out why flashing didn't work, and why the zip did. Anybody can tell me?
Edit: phone is a D5803. unlocked bootloader, TA partition backed up (just in case), i have latest flashtool, drivers are installed, I know how to go into fastboot, I know how to flash a zip...
Try to flash FOTAKernel instead of recovery
Example:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash FOTAKernel "recovery-Lineage 14.1.img"
