Lollipop Recovery

Hello, I tried to create a prerooted FW with PRFcreator on latest stock Lollipop FW, but dual recovery doesn't work. Are there any recovery roms compatible with lollipop that I can flash in the meantime?

- if you are on unlocked bootloader: http://dl.androplus.org/Xperia Z3 Compact D5803_D5833/Z3C_ADV_stock_LP_v2.zip -stock LP kernel with TWRP
- if on locked: wait

Can I install this after Ive had lolipop rooted installed? I.r. will it let me keep my current set up but add a recovery? If so, how do I flash it? Sorry for being a newb

Unable to install any MM rom on Xperia z1

Hello,
I am unable to install any Marshmallow rom (tried various downloaded from xda: uber, RR).
My phone is configured as follow:
Xperia Z1 6903 with unlocked bootloader
Latest CM 12.1 nightly
TWRP recovery 3,0,0,0.
If I flash the MM rom with the recommended procedure => bootloop on Sony logo.
The only way to get out of bootloop is to reflash boot.img from cm12.1 using flashtool.
This way i can get access to TWRP and reflash CM12.1
If I flash another boot.img from a MM image (last one I tried is Dirty Unicorn) and then flash the MM image => bootloop again.
What can I do to get MM working ?
I think that the installed kernel in incompatible with MM , giving me the bootloop
Thanks for your help.

You need to flash the latest .236 firmware (FTF via flashtool) first before you try out any MM ROM.
Also note that the MM ROMs are in really early alpha stages and "might not" be suitable for daily use, unless you're really itching to try them out

updating to MM from KK 4.3

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!

How to Root Xperia Sp. HELP!!!

Hello guys.
I need help with rooting my device (Sony Xperia Sp).
I know nothing about how to do it so please tell me step by step. :victory:
I want to upgrade it to an android 5.0 or 6.0
Thanks for your time.:highfive:

Root is not necessary to install new version of android. You should read something about:
-Unlocking Bootloader
-Flashing Custom recovery (actually fastbooting but nevermind)
-Using custom recovery to install system, and optionally google apps
