Hi,
i'm running an rooted Z3+ dual SIM with Nougat 7.1.1 (customizedRU 32.4.A.1.54) with an old 3.0.2 TWRP version
i tried now to update my TWRP with adb flash comands and also with the TWRP.apk from googlePlay store
bothe said succelfull updated, but when i reboot into recovery it still says i have the old v3.0.2 version running
my problem i tried to restore an backup but after the restored my phone keeps always booting into recovery
edit...wenn i tried ti flash an image via Recovery its showing my boot partition only....no recovery partition where i have to flash the new recovery(i know)
on my Xcompact i have an boot and recovery partition.

found this is that still right.???
cause my Xcompact has an recovery partition

Sony phones doesn't have separate recovery partition. Its recovery is incorporated to the boot.img, which contains also the kernel.
Custom kernels normally comes with the recovery. You only need to "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Stock recovery help

What is needed to pull the stock recovery image I already dumped the partition correctly I have root running on stock recovery.
I just need to figure out why i cant boot the stock recovery from fastboot
the screen just gets scrambled. But i mean i do have the recovery.img and boot.img pulled from their respective blocks. and dd'd into imgs
Maybe someone could point me in the right direction and we can have a copy of the stock recovery as well. I don't want to
fastboot flash it in case of bricking the recovery partition(Even though it should be a 1-1 copy)
I wanted to boot TWRP rather then flash it to install super su then boot into system to backup recovery partition using flashify. I can boot into TWRP but then I can't do anything after that.

Can't boot to TWRP Recovery!

Today, I need to make a Nandroid backup, so I boot my phone to recovery, but it's stuck in a bootload with twrp lgo on the screen.
I tryed many ways to do that (use apps like Quickboot, ROM manager, and do it manual by press buttons ) but it's still freeze on twrp's logo screen.
But before, about a week ago, I maked a Nandroid backup and success without any errors.
My TWRP version is 3.00-0
Can you help to fix that? Pls
Tks for read.
I tryed to reinstall twrp by commands:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
and I get an error:
Code:
mismatched partition size
after the second command.
And still no luck :crying:
Tryed to update to newer twrp's vesion but still no luck. :crying:
Flash the 2.8.7.1. But before you do, flash the stock recovery img then flash TWRP 2.8.7.1 instead of the latest TWRP 3.0 . It bugs on our lil' Victara. Good luck hehe

You can find the IMG file in the Moto X 2014 lollipop/marshmallow firmware zips available on Mega. Be vary, you need to know exactly what device model you are using(mine is XT1092).
Also I just tried flashing Cyanogen recovery and then flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1 It worked too. I had the same problem day before yesterday with TWRP 3.0.

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

Is your bootloader unlocked?

.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.

Jeah I know that but i get a message back :tmp-mksh:fastboot: not found . And i tryed to install it with NUT s recovery's twrp but if I install it to FOTAkernel just the recovery boot. Maybe fastboot driver what I should have but I installed that long time ago. Sorry for my english.
in the other side of the coin you should reinstall fastboot and drivers.
