You have flashed a recovery image to your boot partition, so it always boots to recovery. You need to flash a boot image to the boot partition.
But why do you want recovery if you won't flash anything to your phone?
By flashing recovery, you are doing exactly that anyway.
You have an unlocked bootloader, so you may as well flash an advanced stock kernel. It is stock kernel with twrp built into the boot.img. Check android development section.

thank you
since i know that i can't boot recovery without flashing, i have no other option as to flash.
can't i flash it to FOTA partition?
i have 10.7.A.0.222 firmware and need root access but like to do it manually

You can't boot directly to FOTA on XZ. Need modified boot.img or flash twrp to boot (like you did before). Then while in TWRP, flash Supersu.zip to get root. Afterwards flash kernel only in flashtool to get stock boot back

I tried both. First I did with adb. It worked fine till I installed lollipop of India.
Didn't work after that, then I used the all in one kit as well, still no luck. I used their rotund option, it opened philz somehow. Please help
How did you install lollipop by restoring or flashable zip and which device are you using and my device is canvas a1 at first i installed lollipop using philz backup and then it got to stock recovery and i lost root and this is what i did then I installed official drivers and use minimal adb and fastboot tool and downloaded the official twrp and placed the img file in c/minimal adb directory and rename the file to twrp.img and NOT twrp.img.img and connected device in fastboot mode and typed (fastboot devices) a serial number displayed and typed fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and voila I got the twrp up and running from then I've been using twrp and also download the material theme IF you got any errors post here

Help! cant enter recovery after flashing rom !

hey guys i really need your help after i flashed [ROM][Z1][5.1.1][LB/UB][.216]|Z5 Features|MX ROM|V7.8.0|Battery☆ life|☆[10/11/2015]☆ i cant seem to enter recovery anymore besides that after i flashed this rom everything inside wasnt working as expected to be would love to get some help from you kind souls :crying:
Did you try rto enter in recovery via NDR Utils?
Restart phone and when you phone shows Sony logo pres few times volume up or volu down key and you shuold go in to recovery.
You could use fasboot to boot a random kernel that includes recovery, and then from that recovery you can do the things you need to do.
Code:
fastboot boot kernel.img
This will boot the kernel, but not overwrite the one currently installed. So just reboot after you're done.

Yes,I forget that.You should use Androplus kernel with goes with TWRP recovery.You dont need this fastboot script.Connect phone in fastboot mode and go to option in fasboot flash kernel and select file extension img than select boot.img file and that it is.

Fresh root, recovery not booting

Finally decided to root my own device to find out that the recovery is not working when I try going into it on the bootloader mode. It is a rooted device and I've tried flashing the twrp recovery through the command prompt and also through the flashify app. It only works when I try booting in from the flashify app but doesn't work through the bootloader, when trying it through the bootloader i select the recovery and the phone turns off. Anyone have a clue of how I could try to make it work, I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Looks like a system error which can be solved only if you flash the factory image again
which command did yu use "fastboot flash recovery (twrp File name ).img
If it didn't work, flash cwm and then twrp 8.6.0. Maybe it'll work Or flash twrp img while ur in twrp itself. Or download advanced reboot if ur using stock rom.

Like flashing the full firmware? It should work, because something is wrong with ur recovery system.

I have the same problem. Flashed the stock firmware. Then flashed TWRP in fastboot, but whenever i select recovery from the fastboot menu, the phone just shuts off. Only way to get into recovery is by Flashify app too...

.236 stock LP rom with Offical Twrp

Can I use the stock rom with the offical twrp?
If I can somebody could tell me how to boot the system because If I install twrp as a Kernel image It can t boot.
in order to use Official TWRP Recovery, you should unlock your Z1 to access the Recovery partition and after that you can do it.
