I have a Xperia Z1 5.1.1 236.
I have XZdual Recovery installed in it. But I need to replace it with the new TWRP 3.0. How to do it. I tried the TWRP app and install it from the app. But it didn't work.

Why are you trying to replace it? You don't NEED to replace it unless you're planning on switching to CM/AOSP ROMs: in that case, appending
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [I]nameofrecovery[/I].img
in terminal after you flash the ROM's boot image will get you TWRP.
Don't fix what it ain't broke!
XZdual recovery dont have the latest TWRP. So I thought ti installed the latest TWRP without the XZD.

Guys, what would be the latest TWRP for our SM-G920T, and where would I find an Odin-flashable TWRP file? (Somehow I do not trust TWRP Manager with the task of flashing TWRP.)
Just in case it matters, I am currently rooted on the latest DOI1 FW.

Thank you! One of the things that I find irritating about TWRP Manager is that it asks me to confirm/verify the partition where TWRP gets flashed to. Now how can I possibly know if dev/block/platform/15570000.ufs/by-name/RECOVERY is the right place for my device? (Is it?) The second thing that bothers me about TWRP Manager is that it doesn't correctly detect the latest TWRP version, and often it offers to install an older version.
Did twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar work for you?
After updating to DOI1, I get boot loops after trying to flash TWRP.
I can get into recovery and download mode just fine, but it won't boot to the OS.

I bit the bullet eventually (sesing as flashing TWRP via ODIN is a PITA), and flashed TWRP using TWRP Manager. I got an error message upon flashing, though it looks like TWRP flashed just fine. (Go figure!) Anyway, TWRP Manager flashes TWRP 2.8.7.1. It may be that TWRP people didn't consider TWRP 2.8.7.2 safe enough to flash, which is why TWRP Manager doesn't offer the option. That may be your explanation for your troubles.
Hi everybody! I wanted a better battery life for my Z1 (1 screen hour at 75% :crying: ) so i flashed the CM11 latest snapshot, (as we all know, the LP builds has a very horrible battery management) and it worked, but when i switched from MX ROM to CM11 i lost my recovery (dual recovery) and it were replaced with CWM, i tried to install TWRP with some apps like Rashr, Flashify, ROM manager, Multirom manager and many others but it wasnt successful, and now im trying to flash a stock build of LP but flashtool gives to me this error:
- root this bundle is not valid -
I tried with a KK build but it was the same result. So I am stuck in CM, i dont know what more can i do... Can anyone help me?

KK custom roms have recovery inside kernel. You have recovery in your FOTA or Recovery partition. The in-kernel recovery won't let you start Fota recovery, no matter what you try to install. Latest LP roms, as well as MM don't have recovery in kernel. So, you want to fastboot an LP kernel that has no recovery: fastboot flash boot boot.img. Then fastboot TWRP: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. After that, you can boot into TWRP recovery and install whatever you want...

Thanks a lot! Ill try it
Ive unlocked bootloader and the latest twrp is twrp-3.0.2-0-yuga.img . Should I use this img? Will it be ok or would I have to use an older version. Any replies would be appreciated.
I also have a question about the flashing process. Previously the only other phone I have flashed is my Oneplus X. The method on there is fastboot flash recovery <filename.img> . Can I use the same command for the xperia becuase in the tutorials i've seen and read none of them use that.
I should note that i'm on Model C6603, Android 5.1.1
wich one? simple
use the latest one
and here is the twrp flashing method for xperia z
https://twrp.me/devices/sonyxperiaz.html
Rashr Flashtool
Root fone...
Install Rashr Flashtool in Google Play / APK
Install & Open Rashr
Chose Recovery from Storage and go to file img your download twrp 3.0.2.0
& Install after that Rashr give nofication to reboot recovery ...
I recently updated my EVA-L09 to Android 7.0. Before that, I was rooted and I had TWRP. After I updated, I obviously would need to install TWRP and root again, but when I install it with SRK Tool or even with fastboot, it always goes back to stock recovery. I already tried to flash it by "recovery.img" as well.

that would be because the TWRP in SRK Tools is only for android 6 (EMUI 4.1 - 4.1.1) and not for android 7 (EMUI 5 - 5.1)
the recovery that you need to use in order for twrp to be installed is this one https://github.com/OpenKirin/android_device_huawei_eva/releases/download/3.1.0/twrp-3.1.0-0-eva.img
then once its installed boot up your phone and then type in "adb reboot recovery" and that will then boot your device into TWRP 3.1.0.0
Thank you, it worked!
Another question, but now related to SuperSU.
I am with the 2.79 version of SuperSU and I downloaded the binary .zip of this version and flashed it by twrp. The problem is that it keeps saying ""There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!".
I already got it to work. Thanks btw

Could you post how perhaps? I had the same problem as you - the TWRP posted about fixed my first problem but now I can't get SuperSU to install either. Would be interested to know how you fixed it!

I solved it by this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70927601&postcount=456
I ended up not using super su but If you want you can use it instead of the one suggested there
By flashing the file provided in the post, I managed to automatically get access to super user (root)
Hello, is it possible to install twrp permanently via flashtool?
I flashed twrp img with flashtool (select kernel to flash) but then my phone wasnt able to boot up, so I installed lineage os rom.
After that, I booted up to system without any problem. I restarted my phone to check the twrp recovery but I noticed that It reverted into the stock one.
I tried to install twrp via the twrp app, the app says it flashed successfully but when I boot up into recovery, my phone shows the stock one. Please help me someone.
nevermind, I managed to install twrp with rom toolbox app.
