I've been trying to find how to install a kernel for a few days but i couldn't find any good and updated source. I'm thinking of installing latest helium to my device. Can anyone help me?

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.

I was on latest candy5, i flashed adrian dc's twrp from recovery but now I'm installing the stock ftf, I will try carbon lp rom. When the installation completed, I will flash adrian dc's twrp again. Then I will flash the helium kernel with twrp. Is there a problem with that? Should I install twrp with rashr?

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.

I find that flashing TWRP from CM recovery and then Helium from TWRP is much simpler than flashing TWRP as a kernel in the boot partition, then flashing the rom again and the kernel.

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.

First, yes it lets you flash custom zip files, that's what I was trying to tell I always used cm recovery to install twrp
And I haven't used rashr before, I didn't know how to use it. So I flashed it with cm recovery and perfectly installed.
About helium, my phone finally booted after 9 minutes, how I scared

The reboot button is broken on TWRP. Causes black screen for a long time. You must always use the Power off option instead.

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.
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 flash the boot.img and there's no problem at the boot time, then I flash the recovery, and the same, when i reboot it works like a charm.
But everything goes wrong when i flash with twrp the supersu beta v2.52 or v2.56, when i reboot, it doesn't boot...
My phone continue on the first bootanimation (before flash this file it boot then says android, request my pincode and start booting, but no this time, just still doing the [email protected] bootanimation. I am kind of desperate, can somebody help me plz?
DONE, I re-flash system and do it again, thanks for everyone
dont use supersu 2.52, use supersu 2.51 instead http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/chainfire/supersu/supersu-2-51-android-apk-download/

I flashed latest TWRP with fastboot command on CMD.
TWRP works but after I reset the TWRP was deleted and I can get STOCK recovery.
I can boot up TWRP only if I connect my device to computer and use command FASTBOOT BOOT RECOVERY.IMG
Why?
If u flashed a rom,.then before booting you must flash the root file or a custom kernel in order to keep the TWRP.

You have to flash at least Magisk/SuperSU or custom kernel in order to keep TWRP intact after each reboot. Not sure about modified stock kernels with dm-verity and forceencrypt disabled, they may work too.
This is the nature of stock ROM.

OOS enforces encryption and restores the stock recovery when you reboot your phone.
Custom ROMs, custom kernels, and Magisk all prevent that from happening.
If you want plain OOS (stable or Open Beta) and keep TWRP, then use Xennet's patched boot image. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...y-force-encryption-op3t-t3688748/post74155053

Reflash your current ROM via TWRP and flash Magisk right after ROM without restarting

Because stock will always revert to stock recovery.
If the device doesn't boot, then you're using an incompatible boot image
(it seems that Magisk/SuperSU isn't enough)
I flashed this boot patched image and choose restart to recovery and stock recovery again...
I have the same problem - twrp gets erased after booting in OS Since beta 24
I don't know guys what's wrong with your devices, I'm using Open Beta 24 with custom kernel and TWRP boots everytime.
I use stock kernel, maybe that is the clue.

So, just got the OTA update to Android Pie for my Mi 8 Global, and want to try flashing TWRP again. Every single version of TWRP I have flashed before has always either fail to boot, or always reboots into recovery and the ROM never loads. Anyone can suggest a real working TWRP file to flash? Do I need to wipe data? Etc. Since TWRP hasn't worked for me at all, I have to root with a roundabout way. Install Magisk Manager, extract and recompile boot.img into patched_boot.img and flash that in fastboot. This gives me roo but no TWRP so I can't flash any custom kernels or ROMs.
