You should know the old method to boot recovery is hack the chargemon,but with a bug is that you can not reboot into recovery from the system.
I pm @MrGezz and he said that your recovery is work prefect.So I want to try.

If rom using chargemon hack, this wont work.
Btw there may a problem on install scripts. Flashable version works. I'm going to fix install scripts today.

step2.sh must set per to 755 above to work.:silly:

Dual recovery works only once, that is I am able to get to either CWM or TWRP and do backup/restore, but if I restore previously made backup, the other recovery disappears. Moreover, depending on the rom I restore, recovery is screwed, meaning either CWM or TWRP refuse to work: cannot unmount system. It probably makes sense, because previous backup comes with its own recovery.
So, I guess this works, but only on subsequent backups and restore. In other words, you can only restore backups made after installation of double recovery.
P.S. You should give credit (as opposed to just thanks) to those who helped you with this. They provided you with files and directions on how to do this.

A lot of people have locked bootloader here. So recoveries/scriptes must be based on ROM directories. If you use your old ROM backups this will gone. That is as natural as breathing.
and read second post for credits.

That's right. But what is the point of having dual recovery? So that people can restore backups of prior roms made with CWM, but they can't do it, because dual recovery will be erased on restore. People with locked bootloaders can use CWM fine, but not TWRP. You should probably rewrite the script to have just TWRP. This way those with locked bootloaders can have it too. You don't really need dual recovery...
Good job, anyway...

Do your backups with dual recovery, you wont lost dual recovery.
This is simple like that.

Now that you've got the recovery working, you can try any other touch based recovery like PhilZ Recovery or PX Recovery and don't use stock ROM as custom ROMs are faster than stock ROM, now that you've got a custom recovery, it wouldn't be so difficult for you. :laugh: :highfive: :fingers-crossed:
But first confirm that the recovery or ROM you are going to flash will work with Canadian Gio (GT-5660M) or not or you will have to use ODIN again.
If You Want to Keep TWRP, you can flash the updated version (Released Yesterday) from your current recovery from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728689
as the version you currently have is one year old.

Dont Flash This as this is not stable yet. i have tested it and i was stuck in recovery until i flashed a new one Use PhilZ Recovery Which is also touch based and one word you will say after using this is AWESOME!!!

[Kernel][Recovery][CM12]TWRP and CWM recoveries for Lollipop (CM12) [discontinued]

CM12 now comes with CyanogenMod recovery, which is unusable for now. So here are repacked kernels with TWRP and CWM.
For now, use Recovery-in-FOTA images! This thread probably will not be updated anymore. Also you can use this script.
Download TWRP (for PecanCM's Beta 3, not flashable)
Older versions (CWM included):
for FXP-2015-0115:
1. TWRP
2. CWM
For FXP-2015-0110 build:
1. TWRP (with fixed app2sd)
2. CWM
For PecanCM's 01.03 build:
1. CWM
2. TWRP
3. TWRP 2.8.3.0 (new)
For PecanCM's Beta 2:
1. CWM
2. TWRP
Thanks to:
@osm0sis for Android Image kitchen for Windows (and to @FindYanot and @Bonoboo for discovering it for me).
@JustArchi for compiling TWRP 2.8.3.0 for our device in ArchiDroid 3.0.1.1
Installation:
1. Extract archive to the root of external sdcard and run in terminal emulator su then /ext_card/flash_kernel.sh
or in adb adb shell /ext_card/flash_kernel.sh
2. Flash boot.img drom archive via fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img) or fastbootmode in Flashtool
These are obsolete, but will work though
3. Via adb:
- Place boot.img to the root of internal sd (adb push *path*\boot.img /sdcard/ (replace *path* with path to file on your PC))
- adb shell dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
4. Via Terminal emulator (you can download it on Play Store):
- Place boot.img to the root of internal sd
- Enter su and allow superuser access
- Type dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot

I want warn, that at least CWM (probably and TWRP) not backup apps moved to sdcard.
Because it "don't know" that they on external sdcard1, not on sdcard0
So manually copy folder .android_secure only on PC via cardreader.
Or using RootExplorer copy all from /mnt/asec/
But restoring will be hard because it must performed before boot.

Hi @cucumber09 , I just wanted to know what are the changes in this kernel and original kernel except the recovery change...
Please tell..!

There are no other changes, I didn't rebuild the kernel, I just repacked it with replacing recovery ramdisk using very simple script.

Is it possible to restore them using AromaFM, or is this folder unmounting when the phone is not booted in system?

A little question
Err @cucumber09 Is this the same overclocked kernel from FindYanot or is this the stock kernel that's not oc? Cuz when i flashed this just now the performance is slower than FindYanot's kernel.

XtremeWave said:

There no any word about overclock in first post.
So it's without overclock = nothing surprising that it's slower than with.

Yeah. You're right. Please don' t think of me as an idiot nor undestimate. I'm 11, but I rooted and unlocked the BL of my C1904 just to get Cm11 in 2012, I was just wondering as he said repacked etc. So i guess i have to TRY other things. Well the kernel's fine. Just that I wanted an oc cwm kernel.
Thanks @ Bonoboo

You need to flash one. Choose what u want.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------
Well TWRP is great. But I prefer CWM

UPDATED!
Recoveries are updated for new build (press thanks to Bonoboo). Dload links are in the OP.

New TWRP version
Kernel with new version of TWRP (2.8.3.0), wich should be more compatible with Lollipop. Compiled by sir @JustArchi. I didn't test it on LP yet. If someone will test it, let me know is it working as it should. Changelog is here (our previous version is 2.8.0.0).
UPD: I already tested it: recovery works, but I don't know, is there any bugs.

Will this recovery work on 5.0.2 as well??

[kernel][E6533][Z3+ dual][32.2.A.0.224](RIC disable, TWRP, root,dm-verity)

Hello guys.
Today i will post a kernel that i (just run the wizard to) created for Z3+ dual variant version 32.2.A.0.224. My simple contribution!
This kernel contents:
-RIC disable
-TWRP
-root
-dm-verity
How to install it:
Run this command at command prompt,
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Or.....
Use the Flashtools in a fastboot mode, then choose the Flash option by DoomLord.
Please, Don't thanks me. All the hard work was performed by Mr. Tobias Waldvogel in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605
So, if you like this kernel, please pay a coffe for this guy!
Ps. I already tested on my Z3+ and everything it's okay, so i will not responsable about any brinks or damage in use this kernel!
Ps2: DON'T use this kernel on single model. I don't know whats happens!:silly:

No flashing a kernel doesn't wipe anything, if you're having a dilemma then take a backup of everything like apps, contacts etc using titanium backup, copy the backup folder to your external memory or computer then flash.
Hope it helps.
P. S ONLY INSTALLING A RECOVERY WIPES EVERYTHING.

Can you tell me how long it took for the first boot?
Cause mine is stuck at 'Starting Applications' for about 8 minutes.
Edit : Couldn't wait it took almost 20mins with no progress so shut it down using power + volume up key and went into recovery wiped dalvik/cache and installed supersu 2.66 and again wiped then rebooted. Now it's showing optimising apps. The only problem is it's not charging. Usually at this stage when i connect my charger the charger led starts glowing but now nothing. Any ideas?

Yeah, this also happens to my device when I flashed the kernel.
Edit: It just stuck at the boot screen with blinking red LED notification.

I just found out to use this kernel i should have .244 firmware i bet you're at .185 so update it to .244 then try this kernel. I'm just downloading the firmware now using Xperifirm(https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...9Q4Ht-00R24lisYcw&sig2=ac8ImW1ZY7AvFSZpG9I9mA) and i'll post what i did to the phone after the update.

no need to flash superSU i think, it's already included in the kernel.

Hello guys.
Today i will post a kernel that i (just run the wizard to) created for Z3+ dual variant version 32.2.A.0.224. My simple contribution!
This kernel contents:
-RIC disable
-TWRP
-root
-dm-verity
How to install it:
Run this command at command prompt,
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Or.....
Use the Flashtools in a fastboot mode, then choose the Flash option by DoomLord.
Please, Don't thanks me. All the hard work was performed by Mr. Tobias Waldvogel in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605
So, if you like this kernel, please pay a coffe for this guy!
Ps. I already tested on my Z3+ and everything it's okay, so i will not responsable about any brinks or damage in use this kernel!
Ps2: DON'T use this kernel on single model. I don't know whats happens!:silly:

I don't know. I just run the script to create the image. Sorry. in a near future when Sony release the MM for M4 dual and share the source code i will try to create a custom kernel from benning for my other device.

Okay ?

Running Lollipop 5.0.1 and when i flash the kernel i get not orange/yelllow LED. How do i go into recovery?
Also got no super su app.
I meant to flash it with "fastboot flash recovery boot.img" from Android/android-sdk/platform-tools. Correct?

It's for 6.0.1 so don't flash it for 5.0.1, update the firmware then flash it cause Sony would have updated somethings in the kernel which won't work with old firmwares. The reason for boot working is maybe because of the phone rebooting from fastboot mode.
Hope it helped. [emoji4]

offcourse.

Sorry for the noob question but I need to know the prerequisites,
Can I flash the Kernel right after flashing stock file OR....
Do I need to first unlock my bootloader
Do I need to have backed up my TA partition

hi there, i wanna update form .185 to .224. is it possible to update without wipe the data? and if it can, if i wanna root it, i just flash this kernel after fw upgrade, then flash supersu via twrp, am i right? thanks

If Xperia Z3+ Dual can't be bootloader unlocked, what's the point in this kernel?!

So how about you push your AROMA fix to the official TWRP trees that everyone can profit from it?
Also that image is certainly not created by me. It might be based on the official TWRP, but the way you put it is missleading IMO.

Yes,now I have the same idea but doesn't matter I didn't write it created by me,I don't think it have matter for developer because he didn't share the recovery in xda.

I still wouldn't mind if _whoever did it_ would push the fix to the TWRP repository.

Will this affect all Xperias with 4.4 Kernel? Really happy that @Blackghosthm shared that with Me... Can't wait to push out some awesome AROMA Stuff again!
Thanks a lot to everyone who was involved! :angel:

Can you shed any light on who made this?

Anyone tried the new official One? https://dl.twrp.me/maple/twrp-3.2.3-0-maple.img.html

Hi I am quite having a hard time figuring out how to install TWRP on my XZP dual global version.
I already flashed the latest firmware last August... I also tried to follow installing it through ADB using command prompt yet nothing did work... Is there someone out here who can help me with flashing TWRP... Thanks

I use in this moment the original 3.2.3-0 version.
Where's is the problem to install TWRP? enable adb, call adb during running phone and accept the PC all time.
If the bootloader unlocked,, boot in Fastmode (hold Volume up during connecting the USB cable with the PC) . Check the driver via fastboot devices, If you see the phone call fastboot flash revovery TWRP. img (if your TWRP version has the name "TWRP. img"). After that you can boot into TWRP

You need to flash a kernel from a custom ROM first (like CarbonROM) in order to be able to boot from the recovery (FOTAKERNEL) partition. The stock kernels have recovery built-in and would use that instead of TWRP. You can get a CarbonROM kernel image (boot.img) from its flashable zip.
After flashing a custom kernel you can then flash the TWRP image via "fastboot flash recovery <recovery image>". You'll have to reboot the phone and follow the usual button combination (though I don't really know it's holding volume up or down) to access the recovery. Using "fastboot boot" will not work and it'll stuck on the Sony logo with the blue fastboot LED stay on.

I think twrp found from this thread,,you can check TWRP Folder,
,https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78121448&postcount=4

I've also the Stock Kernel (Pie) on the phone and can reach TWRP without any problems : you must hold Power and Volume (up or down? Not sure in this moment) till you see TWRP on the Screen (around 6 Sec.) Maybe the screen switched off... Switch it on via short press via Power... That's all
